but Mack put an end to the hilarity by
popping a foul ny which was gotten
by Bell retiring the side.
There was not a minute during the
game there was not something doing.

THE REFRIGERATOR

Do not flood it with boiling water.
Keep the ice compartment full of ice.
The more ice the greater the economy.
Do not put hot foods into the refrigera-
| or.
Ice-saving schemes are absurd, defeat.
ing the purpose of the refrigerator.
Over-ripe fruits and vegetables are
menace to the health if left in the refri-
gerator.
1t is the food that is to be kept instead
of the ice. Keeping ice in the sick room
or at a picnic is another matter.
If much ice be used on the table and
for other purposes, an authority advises
a storage box for this extra ice.
A cellar, or other damp place, is no
place for the refrigerator. On the other
hand, it should not be put out of doors,
unprotected.
1t should be sponged out often with
warm water, in which little soda has
been dissolved, and the drain should not
be neglected.
Should ants get into the refrigerator,
a saucer of tartar emetic mixed with
sugar and water should be placed therein.
1t will drive them away.
Do not think of covering the shelves
with cloth or paper any more than you
do the ice. There must be good circula-
ton, with consequent melting of ice, to
preserve the food therein.

TO START A BALKY HORSE

For the benefit of those who have beer
caused great deal of anxiety by balky
horse, lost trains as we'll as tempers, and
even sometimes ruined the horse, saws a
correspondent in the Horseshoers' Journrl,
will give your readers remedy, which
the next time they have the experience
to run across balky horse, no matter
how bad he is, let me tell you how to
start him SO times out of 100. OF course,
1t may fail one time in hundred. When
a horse balks, no matter how badly he
sulks or how ugly he is, do not beat him;
don't throw sand in his ears; don't use a
rope on his forelegs, or even burn straw
under him. Quietly go and pat him ON
the head moment; take hammer or
even pick up a stone in the street; tell
the driver to sit still; take his lines, hold
him quietly, while you lift up either
front foot; give each nail light tap and
a good smart tap on the frog; drop the
foot quickly, and then chirp to him to
go. SO cases out of 100 the horse will 20
right along about his business, but the
driver must keep the lines taut and not
pull or jerk on the lines. If have tried
this once have tried it 500 times, and
every time l have suggested it to people
people they have laughed and even bet $5
and bottles of wine that l would not do
it. SO far have won every bet. This
may make you smile, but horse has
more common sense than most people
are willing to give him credit for. The
secret of this little trick is simply diver
sion. l am firm believer that horse
with kind treatment can be driven with
l string trainer.
