An ingenious man has invented a
saddle machine for the acquiremen
Of a perfect seat and self-confdence
as an equestrienne within ones own
home. 1t is said that many ladies
are overcoming timidity by means of
this home practice as prelude "to
learning how to ride" the veritable
equine back.
BY skillful mechanical arrange
ment the movements of horse in
walking, trotting, cantering or gal
Looping are impaired to saddle, upon
which n lady or gentlemen may sit
with perfect comfort and safety,
blandly confident that. although they
are enjoying to the full all the
pleasure and health-giving motion of
riding on horseback, there is no fear
of their mount rearing, or boiling, or
kicking, or jibbing or behaving like
the famous trick horse from the circus.
The motion obtained from the sad
die, as in actual horse riding, is verti-
cal, and produced by the rider rising
on the stirrups or footboards as if
seated upon horse, and under all the
conditions, whether the motion be
gentle or that of trot or gallop, the
rider is perfectly secure in his or her
seat, so that all the advantages OF real
horse exercise can be enjoyed with
none of its inevitable risks. Chicago

Ingenious Thieves.

Thieves of Upper India are> gener-
ally very smart when it comes sto the
squeeze of capture, and the careNwhich
native burglars take in the way" of
precaution against surprise is
phenomenal, writes correspondent
of a contemporary. They are usually
most painstaking, and q friend of mine
one morning awoke to find thatjh
had been looted" and at given inter
walls the places of exit had beenslaid
out with broken bits of bottle sotthat
if the man had been disturbed and
pursued the glass would have in all
probability brought the pursuers up
smartly.
They, themselves, knowing,its posi-
ton, would have avoided it'and got
away comfortably. House burglars
all carry wallet of fine sand, and a
handful of this thrown over the
shoulder into the face of would-be
capturer is'warranted to postpone the
pursuit. In the case above mentioned
the highwayman was little extrava-
giant to part with his blanket. They
generally bring the enemy up with
the ample folds of the turban, which
rarely fails if the lassoing is done
adroitly. Bombay Gazette.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches

will rid the blood ofits poisons, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being

A Dog Who Was Not tOsBe Dared.

A dog story has come toIthe writer's
ears, which, though not within his
personal knowledge, is vouched for to
him in an entirely trustworthy way.
A certain dog, which was growing old,
was in barn one day with his master.
The two were up on a haymow from
which a sloping ladder led down to
the barn floor. The master walked
down the ladder. but theSdog went
around by another way. When the
dog reached the barn Aoorthis, master
began to say to him somewhat taunt-
ingly, "Poor old felAowa Daren't
walk down the ladder any more
Daren't walk down the ladder |"
Whereupon the dog, with a quick
glance at his master, walkedSclear up
the ladder to the top. .>and thentturned
around and walked down it again.
The proceeding looked very much like
deliberate demonstration on the
dogs part. to his master, thatlhe was
still capable of walking up and down
a slanting ladder. Did the dog under
stand the taunt, or did he merely catch
the words "down the ladder" and
take the utterance for command,
which he dutifully proceeded to obey ?
No one will ever know, probably, since
the dog himself can give no account
of the matter. Boston Transcript.

To Clean Clothes.

According to.the. American, Analyst
the proper waysof nesteringold clothes
is as follows: Take, for Instance, a
shiny old coat, vest; or pair of trousers
of broadcloth,, cashmere or diagonal.
The scourer makes a strong, warm
soapsuds, and plunges the garment
into it, so,rses it.up and down, rubs
the dirty places, >and,if necessary, puts
1t through a, ,secondttimei; then rinses
it through several waters and hangs it
up to dry on the line. When nearly
dry he takes it in, rolls it up for an
hour or two. and tlh,n presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside
of the coat and the iron passed over
that until the wrinkles are out; but
the iron is removed before the steam
ceases to rise from the goods, else
they would be shiny. Wrinkles that
are obstinate are removed.b by laying a
wet cloth over them and passing the
iron over that. If any shiny places
are seen, they are treated ,as the
wrinkles are-the iron is lifted while
the full cloud of steam rises and
brings the nap with it. Cloths should
always have suds made specially for
them, as in that which has been used
for white cotton or wooden tcloths lint
will be left in the water and will cling
to the cloth. In this manp er we have
known the same coat and trousers to
be renewed time and time again, and
have all the look and feelxof new gar
ments. Good brcadcloth ,and its fell
low cloths will bear many washings,
and look better every timeabecause of
them

The Biggest Goose.

heard the other day an amusing
tale of of certain well-known Eng
lish nobleman, who had imported two
emus with the hope of breeding from
them, and on leaving his estate for
town left also strict iniunctions that
the greatest care should be taken Of
the lady emu, if she produced the de-
sired egg or eggs. The egg arrived
in due course, but, as artists have
found before now, the lady declined to
''sit." The steward, however, how
ever, was m ingenious man, and
thought of substitute. but his pow.
ers of composition were by no means
on par with his inventiveness, and
he announced the interesting event to
his master IN the following terms:
'The emu has laid an egg, but we
were in great difficulty, as she would
not sit on it. I did what 1 thought
was best, and in your Lordship's alb
sence I have placed the egg under the

A few years ago the Episcopal church
Of small Maryland town was in want
Of an aims basin. The congregation
was for the most part poor, and few
in numbers. The minister in charge
appointed young girl committee of
one to collect subscriptions. The
amount needed was IS, for an aims
basin costing that much had been
heard of for sale by more prosperous
parish, that had outgrown. the one
with which it started in life.
The young woman's first call was al
the store of a we'll .to-do merchant.
Asking something from him for her
fund, she received the following ro-
ply, spoken in very gruff voice: 'T
can give you nothing;;" but as she
turned to leave, he added: 'There,
you may have that if it will do you
any good" and suiting the action to
the word, threw down on the counter
cent. Mortified and abashed, her
first impulse was to leave it where he
thrown it, but better Judgment pre-
vailing she picked it up, thanked him
and left.
Without going further she returned
home and told her mother that she
would not ask for anything more and
run the chance of such treatment a
second time. "Take the cent, my
DEAR" the mother said, ''and show
what you can do with it," She fol-
lowed this advice and bought small
china doll, and, dressing it in some
scraps which she had, sold it to
friend for her little daughter. Hav-
ing increased her capital 400 per cent,
she invested it in spool of crochet
ing cotton, with which she worked
several small articles, and the sale of
these brought her in $1.2O. This was,
in turn, used to purchase cotton ma
terial, out of which were made several
dresses for small children, that netted,
when sold, the desired IS, when the
aims basin was duly bought.
This story was told to lady of
Socialiatic views, who was constantly
complaining that she was not rich,
and saying she could lay so little by
it was not worth while to save the
answer was: eyes, she got her S., but
what lot of work she had to do.

GARDEN MUSINGS.

Tasteful arrangement of the vege-
table garden adds much to its useful
ness and pleasure, writes G. A. Wool
son. Every intelligent man knows
that the benefits of well-ordered
kitchen garden are spiritual as we'll as
physical. "God Almighty first planted
a garden, comments Bacon and truth
fully adds, gardening is the greatest
refreshment to the spirit of man."
AS order is heavens first law, q
more fitting place for its exemplifica-
tion can hardly be found than the
small area of real estate devoted to
the good things of the earth. A rough
map of the ground with plans for each
separate crop definitely marked there
on is great convenience if the plant
ing of garden is to be delegated to
hired help. Keeping such maps from
year to year is quite likely to insure
rotation of crops beneficial alike to
soil and produce.
Well-kept paths are necessity, not
a luxury as many suppose; they should
be SO arranged that visitors can stake
in the sights" without personal con-
tact with "brag crops what
garden or gardener, worthy of the
name, is not set up over some luxurl-
ant growth which he Justly attributes
to his own superior management, and
spreads himself accordingly All the
pride a man takes in his garden is
permissible, for the lesson of his in
feriority is duly impressed upon him
by protracted tussels with persistent
weeds. Through the center of my
garden runs n four-foot path, some
times dignifed as the Boulevard, :"
but oftener dubbed "Bean Avenue"
as it is hanked on both sides by beans
poled and otherwise. This walk is
kept hard and clean, and is trodden
by many feet which might otherwise
be stepping on vines and other low
growing crops. Points of compass
are also important but oftentimes
ignored.
Vegetables will doubtless grow in
''kiterin' rows but the annoyance to
sober mathematical eyes leads most
people to consider straight rows worth
the trouble, even imperative where a
cultivator is to be used. Vegetable
gardens are usually ample enough to
take in surplus seedlings from hot bed
or flower garden; few pansies tucked
into vacant squash hill from which
malodorous bugs have departed, are
often sufficient compensation for the
pies we are not likely to get.
Tropical touches are of much inter-
est in the midst OF commonplace
plants. I am often surprised by regal
caladiumsw appear in unexpected
quarters from apparently worthless
bulbs thrown out in the spring and
plowed under. Likewise castorbean
appreciates good soil and is fitting
terminus for plebeian avenues de-
scribed. Anything out of the ordinary
attracts attention not only to itself,
but to it's surroundings, and isa whole
some incentive towards order and
neatness, which the young especially
appreciate. Many q boy will find
hoeiDg the garden less laborious if he
feels twnge of family pride in the
green things growing.-American

Compliment to the Dog.

A very delicate compliment was
lately bestowed by dog lover upon
the intelligence of his Skye terrier.
The owner of the dog was sitting in
his Office apparently alone, when an
acquaintance entered.
"Glad to find you alone" said the
visitor, ''because 1 have confidential
communication to make to you, which
no one else must hear"
"Hold on a minute!" cried the
other, checking him. And then he
called out:
"Here, Spot !"
A small terrier crawled out from
under the table, wagging his tail.
$50 out Spot!" said his master.
The dog went out.
''Now then," said the owner, "you
may go on with your confidential
communication. Now we are alone"

the fact that it has a larger sale than

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Teach the horses to walk fast until
it becomes habit.
To rest properly after hard day'e
work horses should have roomy box
stalls.
There is no place for the scrub.
Only utility horses are worth pro-
ducing.
Mild days in winter are good
time for pruning and making cuttings
of grapes.
Considering the small amount of
time devoted to the poultry. the
profits are very great.
Every moment spent in properly
making and packing butter for mar
ket is good investment.
If the harness is very old and dry,
soak it in lukewarm water for half an
hour, then rub in neatsfoot oil with
the hand.
Corn-fed hogs should be given char
coal to correct the acidity OF the
stomach which results from such in
digestible feed.
In England the buyers OF poultry
always look for the five toes which is
the popularity of the Dorking and
Houdan breeds.
When kicking man and kicking
COW get to wrangling, we care little
which whips, though our sympathies
are with the COW.
Different horses require different
treatment to render them tractable
and obedient. What will cure one
| horse will spoil another.
1t is pretty difficult to accurately
Judge the quality OF our own butter.
We are prejudiced witnesses. Let
somebody else pass Judgment on it.
If a horse is bad tempered he is apt
to keep his ears thrown back. II he
is kicker his legs will be SCARED.
If his skin is rough his digestion is
not good.
The feeding and milking of the but
ter COW operates just as the training
and racing of the horse. It tends to
fix the performing habit, and heredity
tends powerfully to transmit all fixed
habits.
For tree wounds various things are
used. Perhaps the best thing is tar,
long used by Professor Sergeant witt
excellent results. At Kew Gardens
coal tar and carbolic acid is used with
