This Horse Has Horns.

Snyder, the biggest horse in the world,
aud one of the most wonderful animal
freaks, viii be exhibited at the Worlds
Fair, St. Louis. The horse is Percheron
gelding and is owned by Charles H. Gable
and II Williams, of New York city. He
weighs 200 pounds Snyder is beauti-
ful dark chestnut in color, with not mark
on him except on his forehead. This and
two one-inch horns, which are growing out
Of his temples, are his remarkable features.
The horns canDot be accounted for. The
white star or puzzle is in the form of the
forequarters of horse or deer, showing
the legs, head and horns and the curve of

Country Life and City Life.
By Florence Frazier.

Let us compare the two for few mo-
ments, stating few well known facts in
regard to each. For example, take two
bright young ladies, one who is cheerful
and content with the pleasures of farm
life, while the other is always seeking for
avenues of escape from what she considers
drudgery of the house and home work and
country living. She imagines there is
career for her that will lead to wealth
and distinction, and she must 90 in pursuit
of all those things that she feels sure are
in store for her sooner or later So to the col
lege she goes for more classical and pol
ished education, which, of course she OBJ
tains if she only perseveres; but let us re-
feet on few of those things she rejects
which most undoubtedly are necessary that
she should possess a knowledge of. She
has left her beautiful home and sister be-
hind, who is making things hum at home,
who has been taught to milk the cows,
help in the garden, clean house and has
learned the art of making the best of bread,
cookies, etc. She possesses fair educa-
tion, learned at home, aided by good books
and papers, thus keeping in touch with the
affairs of the day, And when she comes
to the classroom she can completely out
strip the city girl with those do. nothing

household duties, what sort of home Is
she likely to preside over? Some may

Quite Too Sweeping.
From Good HOUSEKEEPING


There was once woman so wofully neat
That she swept her whole family into the
street.
She lectured on tidiness day after day,
Till the children ran off to the neighbors to
play.
And sometimes the ''lord of the Manor
would roam
From his beautiful house, which was never a
home.
Twas splendid expression of beauty and
art,
But it did not possess homes one requisite,
heart.
But this woman worked on with her brush and
her broomi
With her servants she batlled through room
after room;
She waxed and she polished her beautiful
floors
Till her friends hardly ventured inside Of her
doors.
Her carpets so velvety one would refuse
10 walk on until he had busted his shoes;
Her chairs are so tidied, without and within
That to SIT on them seemed little less than a
sin.
Her children had toys which they never could
spread
Ger the immaculate floors; nor could cookies
or bread
BE eaten where crumbs might be scattered
about
For her house was like "waxwork" within
and without,
OF dust, just the least little innocent bit
Would bring on something akin TO a fit.
And tidy or picture trife awry
Could never escape her most diligent eye.
her children grew up and they hurried away
As soou as they could, scarcely caring to stay
Where brooms were a-whiskin; they sighed
for q nest,
Still neat, but inviting spirit of rest
Aud the day when the last of her little ones
left
And the home of their smiles were ever bereft
She said, while for dust she still searched up
and down,
They know I'm the finest housekeeper in
town.

Just enough happiness to make the day seem

Enough shadows, to engthen the gloom OF
night.
a low ripple of laughter. now, aud then,
After weary day has come TO an end;
Sing a song, a sweet song, of mirth
Tell some old story of love, and worth,
Let the quiet night soothe,
The troubled spirit be calm,
And kind angels keep watch,
To the weary heart send balm.
Of times the way is weary,
Aud We cannot understand.
The sorrow, which comes from the Almighty
hand:
But from sorrow. wisdom, and truth, We
gain;
The heart that's best, is wrought with pain.
Then tighten thy sorrow, tho heavy it be,
Look for the light that's shining for thee,
Ask for strength. and power to do,
All ,hat's best, good aud true.
Every kind thought, and act Se do today
Counts forever, forever. and always.

To tighten the sorrow Of others that pass eur

Hog and Snapper.

Isaac Allen, of Paulsboro, \. j., has a
hog that ate every chicken that flew into
the pen. Allen declared he would cure
the animal of this appetite for chickens.
He secured a good sized snapper, tarred
and feathered it and flung it over into the
pen. The hog made bee line for the
supposed chicken, but the snapper caught
the pig by the nose. Then there was a
struggle.
The pen was torn down and the hog,
with the snapper fast to his nose, scamper
ed all over the farm. Finally part of
the nose was torn out and the hog was re-
captured and penned. Now Allen says he
can he can trust chicken in the pen all
night.

The beauty of life in all its forms cannot
be separated from its excellence. 1t the
feetness of the greyhound, the strength
and spirit of the horse, the gentleness of
the dove that make them beautiful in our
eyes. The human countenanee will ulti-
mately betray the soul that dwells within,
and the constant presence of love or of hate
will transform it into beauty or ugliness
long after the roses of youth have lost their
bloom. And what is beauty of character
Certainly nothing that can be added as an
ornament after character has been estab-
ished 1t is the simplest and natural ex-
preston of goodness, which can be no
more initiated than the rainbow in the sky.

How many people know that white
goods, such as linen, muslins, silks, &c,
should never be put away in brown paper?
In some mysterious way the white mate
rials absorb the tint of the paper and lose
several shades of the pure color, and some
times spots appear, which are quite indeli-
bic. All danger may be avoided if the
articles are wrapped in white tissue paper
