The Coon Dog Turned Tail When
They Struck 1t.
Last fall party of coon hunters from
this city were in the woods in this vicin-
ity and the dogs hunted splendidly un-
til they struck this old tree, says the
Danville (Ky.) Advocate. There they
tucked their tails between their legs
and simply few. They whined and
gave other evidences of fear and could
not be coaxed into hunting any more
that night. Finally the hunters them
selves became scared. One of them de-
clared he heard the sound of voice as
if from some soul in deep distress. This
settled it. Every man in the crowd
suddenly remembered that he had BUSH
ness in town and downward the whole
layout proceeded without further par
leying or loss of time. The next day
an old gentleman residing in DanviIle
was told of the occurrence and he re-
called the fact that he had been one of
the party which had similar expert
ence near this old tree three years ago
and he said that the spot had been
haunted for many years. A long time
ego an old gentleman by the name OF
Louis Streat was murdered for his
money and the murderer had dragged
the body to the foot of this tree and
covered it with dry leaves. The muir
derer was never punished by law. A
young man named Henderson was ar
rested charged with the crime and at
.liis examining trial was liberated on
$4,000 bail. He jumped his bond and
disanneared some time afterWard

Have Great Respect for People of
Learning.
Lacking education themselves, their
respect for superior knowledge is great,
and they eagerly listen to and absorb
such information as may be CLEANED in
their casual intercourse with the peo-
pies met during theirwanderings How
ever, great as is their respect for knowl-
edge, they hold Workmanship in still
greater esteem, and I attribute much
of my success in dealing with the Arabs
to the fact that could ride the half
wild desert stations, in which my pre-
vious experience of rough riding in
Morocco stood me in good stead. In
deed, their contempt for their neigh
bors, the Egyptians, is completely ex=
pressed in their common reference to
them as "those dirty Egyptians who
cannot ride q horse" ! may here re-
mark that in their habits and persons
the Bedouin are very clean people
a claim the most ardent admirer of the
Egyptians can hardly maintain in their
case, and ! have known of Arabs, who,
obliged to cross the delta, have carried
out with them sufficient desert sand
with which to cover the ground before
they would deign to pitch their tents or
sit upon the ''dirty soil of Masr." Diff
fering from the Egyptians in many
essential points, their love for dumb
animals is in marked contrast to the
cruelty practiced upon them by nearly
all classes in Egypt; but perhaps in
no way is the contrast more clearly
shown than by the respect in which
the Bedouin hold their womankind.
Moslems of the strictest type, they seem
to practice all that is good In Moham-
mechanism, and avail themselves but
little of its license.-R. Talbot Kelly,

Be Ready For the Horn Ely.

At this season Of the year cattle are
suffering from the persistent biting of
the horn fly. This fly, which is smaller
than the house fly, congregates in colo
MES about the base of the horns, along
up the back and sides, at tender points
about the TANKS and udder and on the
belly.
This fly sucks blood from cattle and
so irritates them as no doubt to retard
the laying on of flesh with beef cattle
and the production of milk by milk
COWS.
Many substances have been recon-
mended to keep away the flies The
Mississippi experiment station recon-
mends two parts of cottonseed oil or
fish oil and one part pine tar. This sta
ton applied this mixture to 800 head at
a total cost for material of So 20.
Kerosene emulsion has also been used,
spraying it over the cattle with KNAPP
sack sprayer The flies are killed by the
emulsion if it touches them. The emul-
sion may be made by mixing at the rate
of a pint of soft soap Cor one-fourth
pound of hard soap dissolved in boiling
waterl and pint of kerosene in Is
pints of water, thoroughly whipped and
churned together.
At the Indiana experiment station
we have tried different substances to
keep away the flies. None of these were
effective over two or three days. We
have secured satisfactory results by us
ing quart of fish oil in which was
mixed about two tablespoonfuls of crude
carbolic acid. Fish oil costs so cents a
gallon in Lafayette. These liquids are
applied on the body with fiat paint
brush about four inches wide. Fish oil
is especially disagreeable to flies, and is
probably largely used in special prep
arations sold at high prices. There is
one objection to using any form Of tar,
i'll that it makes the hair sticky, which
accumulates dirt and so gives it bad
appearance.
Stockmen would Go well to break up
the manure in the pasture whenever
possible, as the flies deposit their eggs
in it, from which the young are devel-
oped. If the manure is gathered up or
broken to pieces within day or SO and
if remedies to keep off the flies are ap-
piled to the cattle, the insects will dis
appear early in the season. Bulletin of

1T Often Proves to Be Responsible for
Her Mistakes.
If thoughtful woman were asked:
"What is the greater curse of your
sex?" she might well answer: ''Im-
pulse" It is responsible for almost all
the mistakes made by the good-hearted
among us. May it not be safely said
that q few minutes thought before
speech or action would prevent most
fatal blunders? Many of us are In
positive bondage to our bird-like quick
ness to feel, to show orr feeling, to re-
tort, or to respond. If we are hurt we
must Immediately "give ourselves
away" as the phrase runs, if not by Bit
ter speech, at least by look and manner;
yet reflection frequently brings the
keenest regret for the lost dignity, the
betrayed secret. Many a one has
wrecked her own happiness for the
want of the patient stoicism which
would have led her to stand aside for
awhile watching events until they
brought with them her opportunities
Even when we are happy it Is not al
ways well to let the bright stream bear
US away rudderless The impulsive
manifestations of affection, the nasty
proposal of marriage, the hastier ac-
ceptance-have they never proved the
beginnings of misery7 Or has rash
word never sundered true lovers, true
friends? If these things are true it is
likewise true that the fault in the COM
mencement has been that of feminine
impulsiyeness. The defect is gen.
erous one, and, therefore. commoner
with us than it is with men, SO that it
handicaps us unfairly in the struggle of
life. And truly it is weary task to be
always with host of pretty maxims
preaching down" ones heart. But we
must do it; either we must rule feeling
or feeling will rule us. It is a good
servant, but bad master. Our loving
women's hearts are like the fire of the
domestic learth-the light of the home

whole house, but if the fire be not lsept

''The stake was small if women were

people were of the middle class, which
is anything but fast.
Fancy an American Clergyman play

AN ENGLISH CORONATION.

Ceremonies Which Are SenseIess and
Fantastic.
From strictly "up to date" point of
view, many OF the ceremonies attendant
on the coronation of the English SOW
ereign are senseless and fantastic; but
embodying as they do the history or
tradition of centuries, from the stu
dents standpoint they are of deep IN
terest. Mr.. p. H. Ditch-Field, in a book
concerning "Old English Customs" de-
scribes some of the most remarkable of
these customs.
By hereditary right many persons
have special dignities and duties at this
time, and preceding coronation spe-
cial court of claims is appointed to in
sestigate these ancient rights and priv
Ileges.
The prerogative of the lord of the
Manor of Worksop is to present glove
and to support the sovereign's arm
when holding the scepter, and also to
hold the Office of chief butler, which en-
titles him to receive cup of pure gold
The ceremony of enthroning is called
"ifting to the throne" derived from the
custom of our Anglo-Saxon forefathers,
who, when their king was enthroned,
lifted him from the ground.
Amongst the curious claims of sery-
ice is that of certain baron to carry
the great spurs, and Of the archbishop
of Canterbury to make mess of pot
tage, called dillegrout.

which are on ingot of gold and an altar
pail, composed of ten yards of gold
barred, gold-frosted, Powered brocade
lined with rich sarsenet and with deep,
gold fringe"
The oalen chair on which the SOW
ereign is seated has been in use since
the time of Edward H., and beneath
it is the coronation stone, which was
conveyed to Westminster from Scotland
by Edward l.; wild legend declares it
to be the stone on which Jacob laid his
head when he slept at Bethel.
The most solemn function is the
amounting, during which four knights
of the garter hold canopy over the
sovereign, while the archbishop pours
the amounting oil with spoon which is
the most ancient of all the regalia, and
with which many sovereigns have been
anointed.
But the strangest survival of all is the
claim of the Dymoke family to the Of
fee of kings champion. His duty is to
appear on horseback in full armor at
the royal banquet after the coronation,
accompanied by the earl marshal and
the lord high constable. The champion
then makes a challenge, according to
the old-time form of words, and throws
down his gauntlet. The challenge not
being accepted, the sovereign drinks
the health of the champion in silver
cup, which is presented to the brave de
fender of English monarchy. who then
backs his horse out of the hall.-Youth' S

TEAMS ON THE EARN.
They Should Be Well Mated as Re-
CARDS Strength and Gait.

They Should Be Well Mated as Re-
CARDS Strength and Gait.
An important item in getting the most
work out of the teams is to have them
mated properly. While it is very nice
to have a team of the same color, size
and marking, it is common sense and
good Judgment to have them well mated
as regards strength, gait and powers of
endurance. A weak horse should not be
expected to pull as large a load as a
strong one, neither should a small horse
be compelled to work by the side of a
large strong one, or be expected to do
as much. A young, growing horse
should not be expected to work as hard
or as long, or to do as much heavy work,
as one that is well matured and devel-
oped.
A high-spirited, aforementioned horse
should not be compelled to work by the
side of a slow, lazy animal. To make
the most out of them mate the horses,
or rather the teams, with a view to
equality of gait, strength and endur-
ance. See that they are in a good thrifty
condition. Feed with muscle produc-
ing rather than fat forming ration.
Horses that have been idle during the
winter, or for any length of time,
should be put to work gradually. Be-
gin by moderate exercise and increase
as they become accustomed to it. This
is especially the case with a young
horse. Many young horse is seriously,
if not permanently, injured by being
put to work too early, and worked too
hard before their bones and muscles
are properly hardened and their joints
sufficiently strong. Until reasonably
well matured a young animal is not able
to bear constant and severe exercise.
a little care in mating and putting to
work will help materially in getting
the most out of the teams.-Field and

The rural writer of the London
Graphic quotes an English agricultural
paper as remarking that the bacon
which comes to London from British
farms is mighty poor stuff and often
'suoh as nobody possessed of any ordi-
nary palate would care to face. i" The
objection brought against the British
bacon is that it is two or three inches
solid fat without a trace of red flesh to
support 1t. - The British detest this
solid fat in bacon, and who can blame
them? 1t is unhealthful; 1t is gross and
-sickening. The model bacon is the
''streak of fat and streak of lean' sort.
American swine raisers should heed &C.
cordingly and raise pork with large
proportion Of lean. The Essex and Berk-
shire breeds furnish this especially, but
the Essex is rather small for export.
Judicious feeding, mixing in muscle
making food with the corn, will give
the lean meat. American breeders
should try in every way to capture the
British market.
Horseback trotting matches over the
road between New York and Philadel-
phia are exciting some interest in fash
ionable circles in that region. The
riders have three relays of horses and
do not stop a moment on the road. The
distance is SO miles. A lady-Mrs. Hyde
who tried it made the distance in 8
hours 81 minutes and claimed she could
have done still better if she had had
the right horse for one relay. Some peo-
pie must be fond of fun to ride a trot-
ting horse from New York to Philadel-
phia.
Alfalfa is plant that thrives best in
