Electricity for Balky Hor,e,.

Pittsburg Dispatch: Electricity has
been put TO "a new and so far success
full use, that of conquering a balky and
lazy horse. in one case n very high
spirited and valuable animal, but ex-
tremely vicious and balky, was cured
in N hour with the aid Of a three
volt dry battery.
The officials of the Western Penn
sylvania Humane Society were noti-
fled some time ago that Thomas Rog-
ers of Avalon was using the dry bat
terry on his horse. which was as bad as
% valuable high-bred horse could be.
Superintendent Thomas NJ. Porter in
v~cstigated the case, and Friday he
gave Rodgers II hearing before Justice
William Griscom of hat place. Rog-
ers said his horse was worth 81, 900 to
him If he could be cured of baking
and one or two other vicious habits.
He had offered $500 to any one who
could manage the animal, and at last
consulted DIR. 4. C.. Mcneil. the city
veterinary The doctor advised Rodg-
ers to try electricity, and he bought
a t~hree-volt storage battery, and by
means of three wires connected each
side OF the bit and the crupper with
the battery. The horse was hitched
to n road cart, and at first refused to
move, standing with all four feet in a
braced position.
Mr.. Rodgers then had the wires con-
nected to the battery, which was
placed In the cart, and at the first push
of the button the horse jumped, snort
ed and then moved off. Each day for
a week he went through the same les
son, and is now the pride road horse
of Avalon and never balks, bites or
kicks.
That was the testimony brought
out at the hearing. and as the veteri-
nary and squire thought three volts
was not a sufficient shock to hurt the
animal, Rodgers was discharged.
Superintendent Porter had a similar
cnse some month"; ago. He found that
was using the fluid battery on "a lazy
horse In cultivntfng his surnme gar
den. After several unsuccessful at
tempts TO catch the gardener using
the horse he was at last rewarded one
bright sunny morning by catching the
gardener wedding the potato patch
with the horse hitched 10 n harrow.
The superintendent went to the driver
and after introducing himself and in
forming the man why he visited him,
he was shown the contrivancc.
Strapped to the backband was "A
small fluid battery with wires running
from it TO the martingale and the
crupper. A sponge was fastened to
the wire at each place and kept moist
by the heat of the horses body. When
the animal got tired it would stop, and
pressing two buttons together the cir
cult was formed and the horse would
nov on for several hours. Porter
tested the full strength Of the battery
on himself and found hat the sensa-
ton did not go above his elbows and
that the voltage was only "A fraction
over two. He said he thought it was
better and more humane to use a small
amount of electricity on a horse than
to whip il, and was satisfied it was
not a case of cruelty. He has written
to several of the best known horse
doctors In the United States, asking
their opinions on the subject, and is
waiting for their replies with a good
deal of interest.

Washing a Fine Art.

Love Of pretty belon gings is natural to
every woman. From the classic robes of
Aspasia to the rich dresses Of Elizabeth,
thence to the wedding gown of Puritan
Priscilla, we see the attractiYeness Of
dress. While any woman Of taste can
supply herself with becoming gowns, IL
il not every one who understands keep
ing them in good order; this il especially
true of summer gowns, so easy to soil,
and SO expensive 10 laundry; therefore
every woman should learn the art Of
washing her own muslins. To do the
work fill a tub two-thirds full of warm
water, dissolve a cake of Ivory soap
(which will not fade the most delicate
%colors), add it 10 the water. wash the
garments through IT,; rinse first in clear
water, then in blue water, wiring, dip In
thin starch, shake and hang in the shade.
When dry, sprinkle, and iron on the

way will remain fresh and pretty all

IT was so in ancient times-in Rome

IL is so in all countries today. The
spendthrift bankrupts. the scatterers
