A Good Horse Story. "Of course horses cannot taik, bnt they understand each other just the same," remarked Peter Noell, ono of the oldest and best known drivers on the Spring Grove line of cars. "For along timol have been driving w sturdy, solid old bay. There is nothing fast about liiin, but when it comes to pulling he can discount any other horse owned by the company. He knows, too, when ho is hitched up with a balky mate, aud it is from his actions on occasions of that kind that I am convinced that horses understand each other. When he is in harness with a balky partner he will staud perfcctl}' still and let the other do all the prancing anil kicking. "When it quiets down a bit he will rub its neck and put his nose up to its ear, as if endeavoring to whisper to it. When it becomes quiet the old fellow will make a move as if to start. Tf the jother takes the cue, well aud good ; 'but if there is but one bit of rearing or jumpiug he will settle baek in hi? place and repeat the neck rubbing and supposed whispering operations. The second one is generally successful, end with a slight neigh, as if his efforts had proved successful, the old fellow starts the car all by himself. 1 tell yon he can cure more balky horses of their bad habits and in quicker time than all the trainers in (Mucin nati put together."?Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

He V <?^S German IVav lo l>rr Wood. A Oermati process for drying wood* hrs been tried, nud with some success, by a firm of Canndiau lumbermen. It consista briefly in placing the timber for twelvo days in chambers heated by steam and then in another room to dry. The plan, it is said, entirely gets rid of sap, and has been found more efficacious with juicy woods like beaolr and birch. It is certainly the case that timber prepared by this means is largely used in Germany, nud particularly iu Bavaria. At the same time it . is stnted that this artificial seasoning is not nearly so efficacious as that produced by natural means. Woods thus forced into maturity aro apt later on both to warp and to rot. The constructors of the German uavy have altogether declined to use wood so prepared. though it has been found useful for fencing and other kinds of cheap carpentry. Manchester Courier.
