THE HORSE BUSINESS.
1t Pays Well Enough If Due Care in
the Selection of the breeding
Stock Is Exercised.

The reports that come from those
breeding and dealing in stations go TO
show that the farmers of this country
gre about to begin breeding horses
again. 1t is to be hoped that they will
exercise due care in selection Of their
breeding stock. 1t is sometimes better
to miss raising colt than to breed
mare with some serious defect that may
be transmitted to her progeny. Good,
blocly mares, bred to stylish coach
stations, will make a cross that will
produce a very desirable kind of an
animal. So also heavy mares bred to
strictly good Percheron stations will
produce draft animal of great endur-
ance and that will bring a high price.
The average farmer should not bother
TO breed to thoroughbred or trotting-
bred stock. Unless the progeny is eX-
ceptionally good it will sell at low
price. This class has only speed to de-
termine the price, While Cleveland bays,
coachers and the heavy draft classes are
always in demand.-Farmers Voice.

HOW to Care for sheen.

1t is not good plan to begin sheep
breeding on the assumption that be-
cause sheep are good scavengers they
may be profltably used for this purpose
alone, and kept on the farm for nothing.
Sheep like weeds and keep them in SUBJ
lection, but unfortunately weeds are
not the best and most nutritious feed
that may be given to the sheep. If you
begin keeping sheep do it because you
want to make money out of them by
giving them good care. They will pay
you then better than any other live
stock you can invest in and you need
not worry about stampedes, low fences
and other things that cattlemen worry
about.-Dakota Field and Farm.

LIFE,s BRIGHT SIDE.
why We should All Try 10 Extract
All the Happiness and Enjoy
mcnt We Cnn.

You have troubles, it may be. So
have others. None are free from them;
and perhaps it is well that none should
be. They give sinew and tone to life,
fortitude and courage TO man. 1t would
be a dull sea, and the sailor would never
acquire skill, where there was nothing
to disturb its surface.
1t is the duty of everyone to extract
all the happiness and enjoyment he
can within and without him; and, above
all, he should look upon the bright side.
What though things do look little
dark. The lane will turn, and the night
will end in broad day. In the long
run the great balance righ;s itself,
What appears i'll becomes well, that
which appears wrong, right. Men are
not made to hang down their heads,
and those who do cn]y show that they
are departing from the paths of true
common-sense and right. There ismo
virtue in one sunbeam than in whole
hemisphere of the clouds and gloom
Therefore look upon the brightside. Gull

FIavoring with Leaves.

French Investigator has found that
by the addition of the leaves of fruit
trees which in themselves have no
marked flavor to saccharine solutions
undergoing alcoholic fermentation a
very marked bouquet of the fruit is de-
ve.5ped. Thus, by immersing pear or
apple tree leaves i'll ten or fifteen per
cent. solution of sugar and adding a
pure yeast, which by itself gave rise to
no marked flavor, after fermentation Il
liquid was obtained which had a strong
Odor of pear or apple, respectively, and
an excellent flavor, and on distillation
gave an alcoholic distillate in which the
aroma was still more marked. Vine
leaves act in similar manner, and it
may be possible to improve the bouquet
of a poor vintage by the addition of
some leaves during fermentation. The
results are far more marked when the
leaves employed are from trees in
which the fruit is approaching maturi-
ty. Jacquemin infers that the fiavors
of fruits are due to body elaborated
in the leaves, possibly of a glucosidal
nature, which is not transferred to the
fruits until the latter approach maturi-
ty, and is then acted upon by the spe-
cial ferments contained in the fruit
juices and develops distinctive favors.

IN THE sUNDAY-scHooL.
Some Reasons why Women Are In
AnitcIy More Successful Teach
ers Than Men.

"The chief and underlying cause of
'The Decay of the Sunday-School,' >"
says Edward Box in Ladies' Home
Journal, lis the selection of incapable
and incompetent men as superin-
tendents. If men of broader views and
keener perceptions were superinten-
dents of our Sunday schools, the neces-
sity for II few changes in the teachers
would at once be apparent, and they
would be promptly made" writes Mr..
Box "One of these changes would be
that the masculine element in the ac-
tive conduct would begin and end with
a superintendent, competent assist
ant or two, and systematic librarian.
The sooner that our churches realize
that women, and women alone, should
be the teachers of the young in their
schools, the nearer they will come to
the ideal condition. The more woman
has TO do with child the better for the
child. And the more sympathetic, ten
der and well-bred women and the few
er men we have as teachers in our Sun
day fschools, the better it will be for
the children and the schools. But no
week, should, either of her own volition
or under pressure, allow herself to be
permitted to act as teacher in Sunday
school. When woman is engaged in
business for six days of week her Sun
day should be to her day of rest. Her
place in church or school on Sunday
should be that of auditor; not of work
er. A little higher order of in
telligence is vitality necessary in our
Sunday school classes. We demand this
of our teachers in our secular schools,
and parents have right to ask it of
the Sunday school. 1t is not enough
that the Sunday school-teacher should
be spiritual; she must have intelligence
wherewith to apply her spirituality to
the very best advantage and by the
most attractive methods. Young girls
are to-day teachers who should be in
classes. To bring home a spiritual les
son to the mind of n child is not play;
it is an art, and calls for experience
with children, a knowledge of human
nature, an understanding of the very
highest and deepest truths of life"

How to stiRen Lnces.

The best kind of starch to use for
stiffening laces, handkerchiefs, wash
ing silks, or any other thin fabric is
made with gum arabic. Put an ounce
of gum arabic into a bottle and pour
over it cup of cold water, and place it
over the fire until the gum is dissolved;
then strain it through fine sieve or IL
piece of cheesecloth into another bottle.
When it is cold add to it half a gill of
alcohol and it will be ready to use when
needed. For dainty laces half tea
spoonful of the starch mixed with a
half cupful of water will give ample
stiffness. Larger amounts should be
added according to the nature of the
different fabrics.

"Electrois" Causing a Great Sensation in
Europe-Latest Discovery at Thebes.
The London letter says that the
weeks discoveries have been most in
teresting. Rychnowsky, the electri-
clan of Lemberg, claims to have dis
covered an electric fluid which he calls
'electrois." The discovery has caused
great sensation ON the continent. He
obtains it by electrolysis; but it is not
identical with electricity. Its effects
are declared to be startling, producing
light and causing Geissler tubes to
emit fiuorescent rays. 1t works pho
tochemically, rotates objects in midair,
produces whirlpools in water and kills
bacteria. Metal and glass thereby can
be charged with electricity, and the
magnet needle changes directly under
its influence.

CAPTURE OF PORTO sELLo.


The Pirate Morgan Forced Monks and Nuns
20 Place Scaling Ladders Against tho
Walls.
The buccaneers found Porto Bello
hard nut to crack; they landed and
marched upon the town, which was de-
Tended by several forts or castles.
Even when one of these had been cap
tured by assault and blown up with all
its garrison, who had been taken pris-
oncrs, still the town was not intimi-
dated. The governor vowed he would
never surrender, but would die fight
ing to the last. In vain the pirates
made desperate efforts to capture
the principal fort, and Morgan be-
gan TO dispair The garrison was
strong and well commanded, and when
ever the pirates attempted to scale the
wall they were shot down, or fire.
pots full of powder mixed with stones
and other missiles were hurled upon
them.
At last the willy Morgan had an idea.
He set his men to work to make some
ladders long enough to reach the top
of the walls and wide enough to allow
three or four to go up abreast. If he
could get these properly set up, his
crew of desperate tigercats could make
a combined rush, and get over the walls.
But it was not Morgan's plan that
these men should lose their lives in
getting up these ladders. He had cap
tured some converts in the suburbs of
the town, with number of nuns and
monks, and he now ordered these poor
creatures, the women as well as the
men, to place the ladders against the
walls, believing that the Spanish gov
| ernor would not allow his soldiers to
fire upon these innocent persons.
But the governor was determined to
defend the town, no matter who had to
| suffer, and so the soldiers fired at the
nuns and the monks just as though they
were buccaneers or any other enemies.
The poor creatures cried out in terror
and begged their friends not to fire
upon them, but the soldiers obeyed the
command of the governor, and the
| pirates were close behind them, and
threatened them with their pistols,
and so the poor nuns and monks had to
press forward, many of them dropping
dead or wounded. They continued their
work until the ladders were placed and
then over the wall swept the pirates
with yells and howls of triumph, and it
was not long after that the town was
taken. The brave governor died fight
ing in the principal fort, and the citi-
zens and soldiers all united in the most
vigorous defense, but it was useless
