SETTLED THE SUITS.
End of the Litigation Between Archi-
tect Shea and Messrs. Laist
and O'Brien.

The libel suits of Messrs. Theodore T.
Laist and Smith O'Brien for $40, 900 dam
ages each against Frank T. Shea, architect
of the New City Hall Commissioners, the
Evening Post and Hugh Hume, have been
settled to the satisfaction of all parties and
dismissed.
Messrs. Laist and O'Brien, it appears,
were at one time engaged as draughtsmen
in the Office of the architect of the new
City Hall, and it was alleged in a newspa-
per publication that Mr.. Shea had accused
these gentlemen of taking certain rough
sketches and blue prints from the Office.
1t appeared afterward that these sketches
and prints were not appropriated, but the
whole matter was the result of misun-
derstanding. When the facts were brought
out it became plain that there was no in
tention to make any reflections or charges,
and the suits were accordingly dismissed.
In speaking of the settlement yesterday,
Mr.. Laist said:
81 do not care to discuss it any further
than to say that the matter has oeen set-
tied to my satisfaction, and in consequence
the suit was withdrawn. Shea mas Satls-

WHIPPING BALKY HORSES.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom it
may concern that it does no good to
whip or pound balky horse, almost
every owner or driver of one does it
to-day. 1t is probable the greatest
piece of horse folly in existence. 1t
is not remnant of barbarism, but it
is continued barbarity, and brings out
what original and acquired sin there
is in man.
The bruin of a horse can retain but
one idea ut time. If the idea is to
sulk, whipping only intensifes it. A
change OF that idea, then, is the only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores Of
ways, few of which will be named.
Tie handkerchief about his eyes; tie
his tail tightly to the bellyband or
backband fasten stick in his mouth !;
tie cord tightly about his leg; un-
check and pet him awhile; clasp his
nostrils and shut his wind off until he
wants to go; unhitch him from the
vehicle and then hitch him up again,
or almost any way to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should ever be
gentle. There are moro balky drivers
than horses. National Stockman.

Primitive Fire EngineS.

The Oldest known fire engine for
pumping water is probably the one
mentioned in the Spiritalia of Hero,
about $50 B. g. This engine, it is
said, was contrived with two single act
ing pumps with single beam piv-
oted between the two for working the
plungers. The streams of water
united in single discharge pipe and
passed up trough having an air
chamber, and out of nozzle which
might be turned in any direction as
desired. Fire engines appear also to
have been used extensively by the
early Romans, who furthermore Or
ganized regular fire brigades
In the early part of the sixteenth
century, fire engine known as q
"water syring" was introduced, which,
in measure, resembled the modern
forms OF fire engines. This was
mounted on wheels and the water was
poured by levers. This form of en-
gine was very generally used in Ger
many. In England about the same
time large brass syringes were used.
These held several quarts of water and
were operated by three men, two OF
them holding the syringe at each side
with one hand and directing to nozzle
with the other, while the third oper-
ated the plungcr. 1t was necessary,
after having discharged the water
from the syringe, to reill it from a
we'll OF cistern near the fire or from
buckets. The syringes were later
fitted to portable tanks of water.
The first successful ire engine was
probably tho Newsham engine, and
this was the pioneer of nanually oper.
atei fire engines. The pumps il
these engines We're built on many diff.
ferent designs, but in most cases they
were operated Eby levers. Fire en-
gines similar in form to the Newsham
engine were in use up to the year 1860.

A Use for Condemned Guns.

Last week we mentioned that tho
Lebanon Penn Bolt and Nut Com
pany had received two car loads of
condemned cannon from the United
States. 1t was the purpose to break
them up and use the metal for mer-
camille purposes. Since then the firm
has rece ived inquiries from all over
the State from Grand Army posts, ask
ing the privilege of buying tie guns
for decoration purposes. The de-
mand from this source created con-
siderable surprise, and the firm has
decided to let the Grand Army people
have them rather than melt up the
metal. The Manufacturer.

CALF-PAIL HOLDER.

Hero is simple device for holding
a pail when feeding the calves: First,
make frame out of plank foot wide
and long enough to accommodate the
number of calves to be fed, leaving
the bottom open. Take board one
foot wide; with a keyhole saw cut
holes large enough to take pail in
half way up the sides. in number equal
to the number of calves. Nail this on
the top OF the plank frame. Fasten
the whole to the side of the barn, or,
if to be used out of doors, to the
fence, 60 that it cannot be moved
away. When the time comes to feed
set the pals along in the holes and
pour the milk in. BY this means you
give each calf its own mess. and the
pals cannot be tipped over.-Con-

KEEP AHEAD OF THE WEEDS.

There is only one economical way
to fight wceds-that is to keep ahead
of them. When they are just break
ing through the ground they can be
slaughtered with less labor than at
any other time. That is the time to
take them in hand. A little later and
the work will be doubled. Too many
overlook this fact. In many towns
five per cent off is allowed on all
taxes paid before certain date, and
men hustle to pay their tax and save
that five per cent. A much larger per
cent. off is secured by the man who
takes the weeds in season. One can
go over garden with an iron rake
when the weeds are just breaking
ground, and in an hours time ac-
complish wonders. A week later he
will have to take his hoe and labori-
ously cut, cut, cut. And even then
he doesn't destroy half as many of the
roots of weeds as he would have done
week before with the rake. Neglect
ing the weeds is something one sim
ply cannot afford. American Agri-
culturist.

ROping a Tiger.

A tiger in Tennessee may be set
down as decided novelty. and the nc
count OF it's capture makes an inter-
esting story.
One day circus came to Knoxville,
and on the eve of departure the circus
wagons were being loaded on the cars.
A switch engine was showing some
cars about when one of them became
derailed, colliding violently with two
cage wagons and the cage containing
three tigers was badly damaged. The
woodwork was crushed in, leaving q
hole of sufficient size for tho tigers to
get out.
One of the animals leaped from the
cage onto the flat car and from there
to the ground. The two remaining
ones wero about to follow suit when
the trainer md several other employees
of the circus rushed up to the cage
and prevented the exit. But one of
the tigers was at large, and as soon as
the fact became known stampede of
the people in the vicinity occurred,
while the circus men rushed to inform
the managers.
Preparations for tho capture OF the
tiger were made. One of the Texas
cowboys, and the one most perfect in
handling lasso, was detailed to make
the attempt. The man handling the
tiger was also instructed to assist in
the dangerous duty, and the pair went
to work.
They located the tiger about q
stones throw from the cage in which
he had been confined. The hugo brute
was crouched under box car between
the rails. His eyes shone brightly
and looked to his captors as large as
two full moons.
A large dry goods box was procured,
q hole bored in the bottom, and the
box placed ON its side convenient 20
the animal. One end of the lasso was
showed through the hole and the Texan
threw the rope. His judgment was
perfect and the lariat dropped over
the neck and left foreleg of tho tiger
to q nicely. Then began the work of
landing the animal in the box.
He was pulled up to it slowly, and
although he resisted considerably, was
at last safely lodged in the box, but
not until he had torn off one glove
worn by the cowbow and lacernted his
hand badly. The box was then nailed
up and the tiger hauled away. growl,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


1t is easy to spoil good horse by
an ill-fitting collar.
Always have uniform quality, and
the berry box we'll filed.
The hard-working horse requires
nutritious food to repair the wear of
body and muscle.
A handful of linseed meal added to
the usual feed of horse will tend to
make his coat shiny.
A firm hand, cool head and a
soothing word will do far more than
punishment with frightened horse.
Levelling the feet and shoeing at
the proper time will generally keep
the horse in good working condition.
Tho day of rubber or elastic tires
and ball-bearing axles is near at hand.
when the efficiency of the horse will
be increased
If you would have good market,
offer only good berries, give good
measure and always deal honestly with
your customers.
If moro farmers would keep brood
marc or two and raise choice colt
each year there would be more money
in farming for them.
The ground surface of the orchard
can be made to yield large increase
by turning it over to the chickens.
This will also help to keep the trees
free from insects.
For scratches nothing is better than
a real physic followed by two days of
rest. At the same time clip the hair
from the heels of the horse and apply
sulphur one part to crude petroleum
two parts.
Remember: 1t costs no moro to
raise good berries; it cost no more to
pick aud deliver good berries. Freight
and express charges are just the same,
and when sold good berries always go
first and bring largest prices.
The hens came to the rescue in good
shape, when beef went up in price, and
many is the good meal that common
people have enjoyed from eggs at
twelve cents dozen, when high priced
beef was out of the question.
Old messy pastures that are to be
renovated should be plowed and n
fertilizer of two parts boneblack to ono
of muriate of potash applied. Use
sulky plow and you can turn two or
three acres per day. Any less thorough
method is time thrown away.
If your farm is all run down, and
the soil is poor, don't give up in de-
spair until you have tried poultry. 1t
may be you will display more en-
thusiasm, ambition and common sense
in that work than you have in regular
farm work. If you do go in to win,
you will come out ahead.
If your hens lay eggs that have
thin, soft shells, easily broken, give
them more lime in some shape. They
must have proper material in order to
turn out good goods. Go where n
house is being repaired and lug offa lot
of the old plaster and throw in the
yard. The hens will do the rest.
If you keep large breed of fowls
like Cochins, Brahamas, etc., you
should place the roosts near the
ground, as in jumping to the ground
their feet become sore, and corns or
punches develop on the bottom OF the
feet. For lighter breeds this pre-
caution is unnecessary, as they are
not SO clumsy.
