In his volume of Personal Adven-

scribes the extraordinary method Of

lar, the knot resting on the horses
chest
Then the two ends Of rope are
brought between his legs, Each rope,
then taken by a man. is hitched on TO
the fetlocks of his hind legs and
brought through the loop in front. then
by hard, steady pull the hind legs are
drawn up TO the fore legs. and the
horse falls heavily on his side
All four feet are then fled together
by the fetlocks. the horse Is propped mp
on his back. and the farrier sits quiet.
ly down beside him. takes Off all the
old shoes and puts on new. When the
work is finished the horse is untled
and allowed to get up.

FREAK OF THE TIDES.
A. The Mouth Of St. John River, whsrs
Water Flows Up Hill

Water Flows Up Hill.
Speaking OF freaks Of the tide, thers
Is nothing in this world to equal the
phenomenon at the mouth OF the st.
John river. where water flows up hill
and down twice daily. These revers-
ing falls are IN a class by themselves
Ia he wor.as natural curiosities
The rise OF the tide in the bay OF
Fundy, which ranges up to sixty feet.
averages at St John harbor twenty.
eight or thirty feet
At the mouth Of the st. John river
the great body ot water is forced
through deep and narrow gorge. on
the one side OF this gorge the harbof
opens; above II the st John river,
nearly 900 miles long. stretches away
into The province Of Quebec.
When the tide in the bay OF Fundy
Is on the flow. the waters rise with
such rapidity that the level in the har-
bor becomes IN less than an hour con-
siderably higher than the level in the
river.
The winter is forced through tho
gorge at such q rate that It literally
fails up into the river the height OF
this fail reaching III times fourteen
feet So great IS the area OF the river.
so great is the amount Of water rising
IN the harlor and so narrow is tile
gorge that Il would take hours longer
than the interval OF any tide to bring
she river level up TO that of the harboF
At high water.
AS consequence. after the tide has
turned and Is on the ebb in the harbor.
the level is still so much higher thar
the river that the tide in the river con
llnues to rise for two or three hours
the water still failing upward
The same force works In the dow.
After the water IN the harbor has
fallen until the level In the harbor and
In the river are the same the fail
downward begins. During the next
few hours the harbor recedes until the
drop from the river TO the harboi is as
much as sixteen or seventeen feet at
the very lowest tide. Once more the
tide turns inward and comes up quick
", but over three hours elapse before
It Is sufficiently high TO counteract tho
downward flow from the river
At half tide there Is a period OF
something less than an hour when
navigation is impossible. - Boston

The CALF PA ~.
One day through the primeval wood
calf walked home, as good calves
should,
But made a trail all bent askew;
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hunderd years have
fled
Aud, | infer the calf Is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs a moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
BY lone dog that passed that way.
And then a wise bell-weather sheep,
Pursued the trail Ger vale and steep,
And drew tho flock behind him. too.
As good bell.weathers always do,
And from that day DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods a path was
made.
And many men wound in and out
And lodged and turned and bent
about,
And uttered words Of righteous wrath
Because twas such crooked path;
Dut still they followed-do not laugh
The first migration OF the calf,
And through the winding roadway
stalked
Because he wabbled when he walked
This forest path became lane
That bent and turned and turned
again:
This crooked lane bacame a road
Where many a poor horse with his
load.
Toiled on beneath the burning sun
And travelled some three miles in one.
An thus q century and a half
They trod the footsteps of that calf
The years passed on IN swifiness fleet,
The road became a village street,
And this, before men we're aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
FOR renowned metropolis;
And men two centuries andsa half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic OF a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked way.
And lost one hundred years a day;
For such reverence is lent
TO well established precedent
A moral lesson this might teach,
Were ordained and called TO preach;
For men are prone to go It blind
Along the calf paths Of the mind
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done,
They follow IL the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth. and back.
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do
But how the wise old wood gods
laugh
Who saw the first primeval calf;
All! many things this tale might teach
the air.-San Antonio Express.
But ! am not ordained TO preach.
