Where to Pat a Horse.

A horse lover who is also learned
in the ways of horses, has been trying
to induce kindly disposed persons who
pet horses to do so i'll d manner that
will give the animals pleasure. Most
persons stroke the horses nose, an
operation which only we'll behaved
animal will tolerate, and, even he
cannot be said TO get satisfaction out
of such caressing. Gentle rubbing
over his eyes or up between his ears
gives him great pleasure, because here
are certain nerve centers that are
stimulated by this friction. Most of
those who know how to pet d horse
properly We're brought up in the coun-
try and thus learned to know the
horse as city boys can never do.

Wearisone Words

There is nothing tires one more than
words, when they clatter like a loose
window shaken by the winds talka-
tive fellow may be compared to an un-
braced drum, which beats a wise man
out of his wits. Surely nature did not
guard the tongue with the double fence
of teeth and lips, without meaning that
it should not move too nimbly. When
a scholar fun of words applied to
Socrates for instruction, the latter de-
manded of him double fee! one to
teach him TO speak well; another to
teach him to hold his peace-Owen

STRONG TOMB RENT BY TREE
Striking Instance of the Great Power
of Vegetation.

A correspondence calls attention to
a curious instance of the mechanical
power of vegetation in the out-of-the-
way churchyard Of Tewin, in Hertford-
shire.
A tree, which has been divided into
two or three main stems grows
straight out of the tomb of noble
dame who departed this life over two
centuries ago, and has rent her gloomy
home into pieces Strangest sight of
all, it has wrapped itself round the
iron railing which used to guard the
grave, and which is thus now almost
entirely concealed inside the tree.
People come from far and near to
see the wonderful sight: and to them
is told a story that the quiet inhabi-
tant of this disrupted sepulcher was in
her day lady of very free thinking
opinions, and had said she would have
placed above her remains a tomb that
no person could read.-The Scotsman.

PECULIAR APPEAL TO HEAVEN.
Ceremonial Observed by Chinese
When Rain Is Desired.

Prayers for rain are a common fea-
ture of religious observance in China,
and the attendant ceremonial some
times takes strange forms A corre-
spondent of the North China Herald
reports a c".ious celebration which
recently took place in Chenyuan. The
orthodox three days fast was pro
claimed, and the officials went to the
temples to present incense, while the
people organized a procession With a
plenitude of gongs and drums AS the
processionists passed along the street
they We're dreuehed with water by the
residents, Who had tubs in readiness.
but the great popularity of the oeca-
sion was a dog He was tied sitting up
in a common chair with am old gar
ment round his shoulders and am old
big mans hat on his head. He got
a double share Of the water along the
route and seemed TO have entirely eX-
hausted the glory and the fun of his
position. The explanation of the cere-
mony was this. Among the domestic
animals the dog is placed lowest. But
the people in their attempt 10 move
the pity of heaven said in effect: We
will put ourselves lower than the dog,
we will give him the honor of riding in
state as our master, if only you Will
give us rain. The correspondent
adds that rain fell before sunset.
