TEACHING THE HORSE.
VIII Learn Anything His Muscles
Can Perform.


Expert horsemen believe that horse
can be taught to do anything that it is
possible for an animal so formed and
to be utterly fearless. Thus we know
of horses rushing into battle with
fearlessness that is magnificent. al
though in the beginning of their lives
they may have been foolishly timid,
shying at everything unusual that hap
pened to be seen in their travels.
In order to teach a horse fearlessness
he must be accustomed to all sorts OF
sights and sounds. He must come to
know that because something that he
sees or hears is unusual it does not fol
low that it is harmful. for it is the un-
usual things that brighten him. The
horse is an animal of one idea ut a
time and is not allie to discriminate, so
say the men who have made study Of
the horse. While lie will travel along
quietly close by the roar of Il train. he
may tremble at the ilutter of piece OF
loose paper flying in the wind. 1t is
not the frightfulness Of the object that
seems to alarm him. but the unfamil-
iarity of it, Horse trainers say that
the mistakes made in breaking and
training a colt is that it is too often
done in the secluSion of some country
road instead of amid the sights and
sounds that the animal must necessari-
ly become familiar with later.
AS soon as the horse becomes famii-
lar with anything and has learned to
believe that it will not hurt him he
will stand quietly or trot along peace
fully, even though all sorts of noises
and queer sights are about him. Thus
the artillery horse will stand amid the
roar of cannons, being used to the
noise and not knowing that the sound
predicts anguish and death. 1t is well
to accuStom horse to unusual sounds
as soon as possible after he is trained
for riding or driving. 1t renders him
safe and docile, even though he be a
spirited animal. A certain trainer OF
horses said that an ideal school for
horses would contain thrashing ma
chimes, pile drivers, steam drills, cleo
tric. steam and elevated cars, a band
of martial music and gang of quarry
men blasting rock. A horse that was
drilled among such bedlam as this
would indeed prove immune to strange
noises The gentle family horse, petted
by man and child, is not always train
ed to al, this, yet he often makes USE
full ami faithful animal, loved by his
owner AMI evidently making some re-
turn of affection. Tribune.

Lamps were used before candles.
They date back almost as far as his
tory goes and were common in ancient
Egypt. China, Assyria, Greece and
Rome. Lamp, from the Greek lampas,
a torch, and candle. from kandeel, the
Egyptian word for a common lamp.
originally meant the same thing, and
the Mosaic candlestick held oil lamps,
not candles, as we now use the word.
Man early improved on the torches
of the Homeric age and caught the
idea of obtaining light from porous
fiber soaked in animal or vegetable
oils. Lamps Of brass, bronze and stone
have been found in the pyramids and
in ancient Indian temples, and COM
mon terra Gotta ones were in general
use for domestic purposes in Greece in
the fourth century B. c. The earliest
candles we hear of were those of the
ancient Romans made Of rushes coated
with fat or wax.

A letter by John f. Spencer TO the
Fruitman's Guide describes the char
acteristics OF his new "seedless apple"
Relative to the nature of the fruit Mr..
Spencer states that there are stamen
and pollen as usual, but no flowers or
blossoms. The fruit resembles small
berry in shape. st retains this appear
anoe until half grown and then as
sumes the shape and form of the fruit.
The fruit loses none Of its flavor be.
cause it is seedless and coreless. There
Is nothing but meat to the apple save
the small navel end, which has every
appearance Of the navel in the orange"
Mr.. Spencer states that he has been
working to produce this seedless apple
for the past seven years. He considers
1t revolutionary acquisition to the ap-
pie industry.

Since more boys tnan girls are born
in the countries of western Europe, the
proportion being 1.040 to 1850 boys to
every loo girls, how can we accoun;
for the fact that there are more women
than men in these countries? To this
question NJ. de Narigny, a French sci.
enlist. replies at length in leading
Paris paper. since there are more
women, although more men are born,"
he says, I'VE must conclude that more
men die than women because they are
not as healthy. There is ne other So
luton, and, moreover, all the obtaina-
bic facts point in the same direction
More boys are born than girls, yet
there are almost always more girls
alire than boys. Many persons think
that the principal reason why more
men die than women is because they
lead Incorporate lives; but, though
there may be some truth in this. it can
not be the sole solution of the prob
lem, as the mortality among males IS
greatest during their early years be-
fore they know what Tice or intemper.

Gastric and Nervous vertigo.

The most common forms of vertigo
are the gastric and the nervous. Gas
trio vertigo is sometimes induced by Il
very slight disorder of the stomach
The patient may feel a sudden swim
ming ut the head; objects may seem to
revolve; he totters and perhaps falls.
There may be nausea, faintness, head
ache, visual Authorizations and buzz
ing in the ears, but there is no deaf
ness nor any danger of loss Of con-
seriousness. Gastric vertigo is cured
by treatment directed to the cause.
Nervous vertigo may come from
nervous exhaustion resulting from va
rious causes-intellectual strain or an
immoderate use of tobacco, alcohol or
tea. The symptoms are much the same
as in gastric vertigo. They are felt
strongly in an elevated position-by
the preacher in the pulpit or the speak
er on the platform. AS in gastric YER
tigo, the treatment must be directed
to the cause. But patients need not
fear an attack of paralysis or of apo
pleXy.

IN the museum connected with the
Edinburgh university is an exhibit
that is a striking object lesson of the
value of fresh air. A professor has
secured the lungs of an Eskimo, a
Londoner and a coal miner. He has
had them preserved by chemical proc
ess, and they are now side by side in
a glass case. The Eskimo's lungs are
pure white the Londoner's lungs are a
dirty brown, and the coal miners lungs
are jet black The Eskimo had kept
his lungs clean not because he knew
more about breathing than the Lon
doner or the coal miner, but because
he lived in land of snow fields and
spent his time in the open air.

MaGdeninE silence,

In tAe rainless interior of Australia
there Is very little animal or bird life,
and what birds there are are voiceless.
This absence of singing birds renders
the bush almost as silent as the grave
This deathlike silence has peculiar
depressing effect. If two men are
camped in the bush and one of them
goes to a distant township to get pro.
visions while the other remains behind
to look after the camp the man who is
to remain says to his mate Don't you
be long away; you know what kind of
a place this is to live in by Yourself
If his mate is away for two or three
days the silence gets upon the mans
nerves, and in the end he shouts in or
der to make noise, and then he is
afraid of the sound of his own voice.

Boxes For AppIes.

Bushel boxes of two common pat
terms were used for apples during the
two shipping seasons of 1902-O3 by the
Massachusetts, experiment station. Ac-
cording to Professor Waugh. it seems
the bushel box Is especially advan-
tageous for early apples, say up to
the end of the Gravenstein season.
Fancy grades Of all varieties may be
expected to show good results in boxes.
Sutton Beauty, shipped as late as
Christmas, returned high prices Elk
perience also favors the use of wrap
ping papers on fancy apples, more es-
pecially on highly colored and on soft
flesh early varieties. These papers are
best bought ready cut for the purpose
and are supplied by various dealers.

WATER PIPES PROTECTED.
Satisfactory Plan For Preventing
the Freezing of StandDiDes,

the Freezing of Standpipes.
1t appears by inquiries addressed to
agricultural journals in many parts of
the country that windmills would be
more extensively used for securing Il
farm water supply were it not for the
difficulty with the freezing of water
pipes. A Rural New Yorker writer
who has had varied experience in
protecting standnipes claims to have
found satisfaction in the following,
both with Il standpipe sixty-fve feet
high and with another thirty two feet
high the diameter in each case being
one and a half inches. AS he says, it
may seem at first rather expensive, but
such a job to be improperly done Is
much more expensive. The diagram
and following explanation shows just
how he does it:

Bells and Rees.

1t is foolish notion to suppose that
the ringing of bells or Hanging" of tin
pans will cause swarm of bees to set
tle The real origin of this custom
dated back to the reign of Alfred the
Great, who, in order to prevent dis
putes regarding the ownership of a
swarm, ordered that the owner should
always ring bell when his bees
swarmed, and ever since then the good
farmers wife has been rushing out
with, ringing bells whenever the bees
swarmed, and the fact that they set
tied verified, in her own mind, the be-
lief that the bell did it.

Deaf Persons Don't Get seasIck.

Strange thing, but do you know that
deaf persons never get seasick?" said
an old surgeon in the employ of one Of
the transatlantic lines recently. This
was found out" he said, when a whole
CLASS of deaf mutes went abroad some
years ago, and, despite a particularly
rough passage, none of them wanted
to lie on the deck and beg somebody to
heave them overheard.
That's the seasick feeling, you
know. A little investigation proved
that the stomach nerves are mostly
4eontrolled by those of the ear, and that
deaf persons are not nearly so liable to
the nausea that comes from the rolling
motion of ship as are others.
"The experiment of saturating q ball
Of cotton with cocaine and thus dulling
the hearing has been tried by ship sur
geons since. 1t gives relief to those who
dread any sort of sea voyage: but,
after all, the best way to Go is to 'feed
the fishes and get over it."--PhiladeI

conquerlng days of the Roman empire
several half civilized races who had
come partially under the influence Of
the Romans and who wished to be rid
of the name Of barbara, or weavers OF
boards, attempted to shave in imitation
of their conquerors, but as they had
very imperfect implements for the pur-
pose and as the upper lip is notorious
ly the hardest part of the face to shave
in the case of any one poorly skilled
in the art they were unable to make a
clean job of it and left quantity Of

Ton Dressing Forage Cropn.

At the New Jersey experiment sta
ton tests have been made of nitrate OF
soda as a top dressing on forage crops
in connection with the manures and
fertilizers generally used. In all cases
a very marked increase due to the ap-
plication of nitrate occurred, ranging
from BAL per cent for corn to 96.6 per
cent for barley-a profitable return
from the use of the nitrate on all crops
except the barley which, owing to I'M
favorable weather conditions, did not
make large yield.
