OUR aALkY HORSE.

A few days ago the writer was walk
ing down Court street, Boston, about
one O'Clock, and found small block,
ade opposite court square. 1t was oc-
casioned by balky horse hitched to
covered express wagon. At either
side of the street on the sidewalk stood
deep line of silent, interested spec
tators.
The driver appeared to have given
up the contest temporarily, but the
horse was being encouraged by a
ruddy-faced hackdriver, who, taking
the bride in one hand, struck him re-
peatedly on the inside of his foreleggs
near the kneejoint with a stick or
whip held in the other hand. As the
animal steadily refused to bulge, ex-
cept either backwards or sideways,
the man presently gave it up.
After a moments wait another spec
tator stepped out of the crowd, walked
up to the horse, kindly stroked his
nose, patted him and tried to move
him bit one side for a fresh start.
But the horse was in no frame OF mind
to accept mere Establishments of this
sort, and the second conner also re-
tired discounted
The crowd is still silent, watching
and waiting for the right person to
appear and solve the difficulty. The
jam increases, but finally good sense
and feeling step forward in the shape
OF young man who is eating hand
some red Baldwin apple for luncheon
finish. Perhaps the horse is tired and
thirsty, and it is past his regular din
ner hour; at all events the sight and
smell of this red apple held about six
inches from his nose is evidently an
agreeable surprise. He pricks up his
ears accepts the proffered apple and
shows his gratitude by at once moving
briskly forward at the request of his
new friend, and the jam is over. The
crowd melts away, but many a spec
| tator takes the lesson to heart, and
VIII profit by it.
Nine times out of ten a horse be-
comes balky through harsh handling.
me driver could do nothing. The two
men who tried to assist him failed be-
cause they did nothing for the horse
the one thought that force would do
1t; the other tried Establishment. The
block will continue SO long as we see
mt to employ such men to handle our
ouGlness.-JGmes H. Bowditch.

They Go to School.

DR.. George ]. Flom has been col
lecting some statistics in Iowa for the
benefit of the curious individual who
wanted William E. Curtis to tell him
why the Scandinavians were not as
well represented in the higher institu-
tons OF learning as other nationalities.
He finds that, while the Scandinavians
in Iowa number less than one-tenth
OF the population, they are credited
with Is per cent. of the students in
higher institutions of learning. Besides
large representations in all of the
educational institutions of Iowa, 800
at Highland Park, for instance, there
are four colleges and seven academies
and high schools attended by Scandi-
navians, while fully 100 Iowa Swedes
attended Augustana college at Rock
Island.

Firms Forced to Gave Life.

The Finnish paper Tyomies states
that in the neighborhood of the highly
civilized town of Helsingfors there
are actually at the present moment
people who are living in caves. These
modern cave jewellers say it is impos-
slble for them to pay the rates and
taxes, which in Helsingfors are I'M
usually heavy, notwithstanding the
fact that Finland is at the present
moment being visited by one of the
most terrible famines on record.

FLOW AND Ess.

Flow tide and glow tide.
And glad sky above,
And youth to sing the joys of spring,
With heart full of love.
Strong hands and sturdy faith,
And the world to meet.
And here and there, for love and care,
Patter of small feet.
Twilight and afterglow,
Hours to dream away,
And days to glide IN ebbing tide,
Under skies of gray.
Until the autumn breeze
Sways the golden rod,
And the light fades in the night,
Leaving us with God.

Active kinq Christian.

King Christian of Denmark, in spite
of his advanced years-he is more
than 80 years old-is more active than
some men many years his junior. Not
long ago he stopped a runaway horse
in the streets of Copenhagen, and a
few days ago he saved the lives of
two children. An electric car was
advancing toward the children, who
were walking on the car track, and
they would have been killed undoubted-
ly had not the venerable king dragged
them away in the nick of time.

spade or with cultivator four inches

shallow digging. The soil must he

roots. The frame should be II inches
nigh at back, and six inches in front.
The ends should correspond. Sink
from two or three inches and fasten to
1S-inch stakes every six feet. Then
bank the soil up around the frame;
make ditch around the bed to drain
water and prevent the bed being
flooded by heavy rains
To fertilize the bed. almost any of
the tobacco starters are all right: Is

Plants must be dry when fertilizer is
applied, and then thoroughly watered
afterward. A light dressing can be
applied every four or five days. Sow
one tablespoonful of sprouted seed
and one teaspoonful of dry seed well
mixed with dry light sand. After
sowing, rake lightly and water with a
