?'flow Much Does a Horse Know V* That was the question I asked Profess? or Bartholomew, the successful horse trainer, one afternoon, as I met him in the hall where he exhibited his educated horses. The question may sound like' a vague one, bnt he answered it promptly enough. "About as much as the average man? more than a great many. You don't be? lieve it? Will you give me half an hour to prove it?" "But," I objected, "you can teach a horse certain tricks, which become a mere matter of habit, and it pioves noth? ing of the horse's knowledge." The professor smiled pleasantly. "I won't argue with yon. Wait. Nellie I" A slight scuffling followed in the stalls at one Bide of the stage, and a beautiful little bay mare came trotting up to where we stood. She stepped beside the Pro? fessor, and rubbed her head against his arm caressingly, gazing curiously at me the while. "Bow to the gentleman. Now . iake hands," the teacher continued as she nodded her pretty head toward me, and then lifted her left fore-foot. * "Ts"that the right foot?" asked the Professor, rjauroyingly. One could actually see a look of con? fusion on her intelligent face as she quickly corrected her mistake. "Nellie is like some children. She can't seem to distinguish between her right and left hand," said the Professor, patting her affectionately. ; "Now count one, two, three,"", he added. Tap, tap, tap went the iron shod hoof on the stage. "Good 1" said the Professor. "Now get the gentleman a.chair." I must confess I thought this was going a little too far. The tricks she had ex? hibited were ordinary enough; they dis? played ;c??eful training;, but this quiet request rata? rapxisedpnB. T watched to see whajp' she would do. She trotted over to the opposite side of the stage, and in a few moments returned, bringing a chair in her teeth. "Here," said Professor Bartholomew, pointing to the place where he wanted me to sit. "Now^VhOf said.;.*'wait until I. bring on. the^esVof. my'scholars ;"-arid he crossed the stage', and put his band on the.awinging door which led to the stalls..] Nellie started to follow him. "Why doo^CJ*atay with- the gen tie man ?" he said-; quietly, without turning his head, ju^fcs.; poo troald jspeak- to a child. Nellie turned obediently, and came back to my side. I must confess that I felt rather embarrassed, and in my confusion hardly knew how to treat;this; . little lady-horse. Suddenly I thought of somfc^dy-whieh I*"had-;.in!my pocket, and soon wewere getting' on rather finely, * eating candy together. In the meantime Professor Bartholo? mew had returned, followed by about a dozen horses, who marched solemnly on the stage, and ranged themselves along one side. Then came the exhibition I It would be impossible to describe all the performances they went through; marching and counter-marching, dancing in perfect time to Professor Bartbolo mew's whistle, lying down, kneeling, bowing, jumping?all at the quiet com mand of the teacher. In fact bis voice was so low and gentle that it could hardly be called a command; it was more like a suggestion on his part, with which they complied readily. 'fVj f3 One handsome Arabian attracted my attention,- and the Professor at once called him over to him. ??? "How do you do, Selim?" said the teacher.-. : *The horse bowed. "Is that the way you bow iu Arabia ?" ' Selim,at once dropped upon his knees, and touched his forehead to the floor. The Professor gave him the signal for getting up. Then turning to me, he said: "That is an extremely difficult feat. For some reason a horse hates: to do it." ."Does he understand what you say ?" I asked. "Does he not act as if he did ?" was the Professor's ans iver. Then he contin? ued : "There is no doubt that the horses underetapdevery word I say to them. ,1 could sea n# reason .why. if a horse can comprehend the ' meaning of 'Whoa,' 'G'long/ 'Huddup,' he could not learn mot3, so l bejan to; teach two or three, and soon had this ischool around me." "1 notice you speak in such a low tone, while so many who have to dd'with" hor? ses .se, em to think it necessary, to yell at tt&tppiof their Jungs,',' I "A horse is not deaf; his hearing is more acute than a man's, aud yelling at him only tends to make him harder" to manage. You can lay it down as a "cer? tain rule that the louder a man shouts at a horse, the less he' knows about horses. But then half the meu who have charge of horses now should be made to practice ten years on a clothes-horse before they are allowed to touch a live one."' "How do you manage to teach them so much ?" I asked. The Professor smiled. "Any one with patience can train horses, aud almost any horse can be trained. The trouble is that most people have but very little patience, and a great many good horses are spoiled by half-witted owners who are not fit to have charge of a saw-horse." Bnt the scholars are becoming restive, and. the Professor said, "Schoolis dimiss? ed," , Each horse left hisij>lace, came np to the Professor, and* waited off the ^N~ow how nJ?ch does a'horse:know?" said the Professor, turning to me, and repeatinglmy oWn question. "A great deal more than some men, for he knows enough to do his duty cheerfully, and to the beat of his. ability," I answered, promptly, as I took ray leave. ?Allan Ibrman in MarfSet's Young Pe(h pie. The Negro and the 41 nie. You begin to notice the union that exists between the negro and the mule, the two-inseparables. Be it the cart with one, the truck with two, or the wagon with three, it h all one, on the box is a negro invariably. You shall not see in the streets of a city a dozen vehicles bearing burdens and drawn by mules that the motive power, so far as the whig goes, is not a negro. It would be an interesting study, this connection of the mule with the negro. This inseparability of the most docile of the races^of meoijivijb1 ?tbe'Jnost stubborn and obstinate of* bfutesls a mystery which no fellow has ever yet found out. Probably.it is that the gentleness of the one.may be balanced by the ugliness of the other. A mule will kick the head off a white man but he never so abuses a negro. With mules a negro may safely rush in where white men fear to tread. And there is another similarity between theai. You can never tell from appear? ance the age of either negro or mule. The mule is born with ah old expression which never changes, and when the Southern negro has attained a certain number of years he never grows older. The only difference is negroes do die, and mules do not, naturally. No one ever saw a dead mule except from acci? dent, and seldom then, for a mule will live and do well after a railroad express train has gone over him. Anyhow the' mules are all driven by negroes, and they evidently love each other. After the war every negro wanted forty acres of land aud a mule. If he could have but one - be invariably chose the mule whether he had any use for him or not.? Lexington Dispatch. ?

I wanted to go with them, but was fearful my father would not let me. When I told him what was going on^ho at once gave me permission to go with them. I could hardly contain myself for joy and rushed into the kiteben and got a big basket and asked mother for a luncheon. I bad the basket on my arm and was just going out of the gate, when my father called me back. He tooL hold of ray hand and said in a very gentle voice: "Joseph, what are you goirg for?to pick berries or to play?" "To pick berries," I replied. "Then, Joseph, I want to tell you one thing. It is this: when you find a pret? ty good bush, do not leave it to find a better one. The other boys and girls will run about picking a little here and a little there, wasting a great deal of time and not getting many berries. If you do as they do, you will come home with an empty basket. If you want berries. stjick.t? your bush." -L went'with the party, and we had a capital time. But it was just as ray father said. No sooner had one found a good bush than he called all the rest, and they left their several places, and ran off to the new-found treasure not .content more than a minute or two in one place. They would ramble over the whole pasture, get very tired, and at night had a very few berries. My father's words kept ringing in my ears,' and I "stuck to my bush." When I had done with one, I found another and finished thaj;; then I took another. When night came I bad a large basket? ful of nice berries, more than all the othere put together, and was not half as tirqd as .they were. I' went home happy; but when I entered I found that my father bad been taken ill. He looked at my basket of ^pe--* berries, acd said-: "Well done, Joseph-. -Was it hot Jhskas I 'told you ? { Always stick to yburjbpsh." ' I He died a few days after, and I had to male my own way in the world as best I could. But my father's words sank deep into my mind; 'add T never forgot the experience of the whortleberry party, I stuck (p iny bush. When I had a fair place and was doing tolerably well, I did not leave it and spend weeks and months ia finding one n little better. When the other young men said, "Come with us, and w^rw?^Bke^ibrtune in* a few weeks;?- . frshodk fry head and "stuck to my trash.*'"- Presently?'"my ^employers offered to take me into business with them. I staid with the old house till the principals died, and then I took their place. The habit of sticking to my business led people to tjust me^andgave >me archaracter. I oweV^all I diave^and am to this motto: "Stick to your bush." ?Sunday School Visitor. A Scientific Bridegroom. Sir John Lubbock is a justly distin? guished English scientist. He is the member of a wealthy London banking firm, but be has devoted all his spare time to investigations into the operations of nature, and his contributions to a knowledge of the world we live in are of the very highest value. Attention is attracted to him just now because of bis marriage to a beautiful young girl?a Miss Fox Pitt, the granddaughter of a peer. Sir John^is fifty years of age, extreme? ly homely, and is a martyr to the gout. The fashionable world is wondering what his attraction can be to a rich, beautiful, young, noble woman. The bridegroom's most notable recent feat ia the experi? ments he has undertaken to teach a deg to read. He has trained an animal to distinguish between written cards. One of these, for instance, bas the words "I want to eat," or "I want'to drink," or "I would like to go out," and the like. .These cards are all alike except the let? tering, and the dog can indicate bis wishes by picking up eome particular card and bringing it to his master. Sir John Lubbock also thinks it is feasible to teach certain animals to talk, or, per? haps, it would be more correct to say, to give some indication by the sounds they can utte; of what they want done. By cultivating the vocal organs and' the in? telligence, he suspects that in the course of generations horses, dogs, and other I large brained animals may develop roar I velously in the direction of what might be called the language of beasts. All the wonderful varieties of dog have been in? volved, it is supposed, from some varia? tion oflthe'wolf. In view of the progress they* have made, what' might not be ex? pected if the education of a particular breed of dog was cootinued generation after generation by some of the wisest scientists of the .'ige ? In studying the ways of ants, Sir John Lubbock discov? ered some facts which make him think that these wonderful little insects have rudimentary religious sense. That is to say, they have an object of worship. The god of their admiration is a peculiar kind of black beetle. He found in every large colony of ants that this beetle was given luxurious quarters and attended to with as much care as pagans usually give to their senseless idols. At any rate, the hypothesis is a curious one, but it has not yet been accepted by the sci? entific world.?Dcmorest's- Monthly for July. A Good-Well, .! Several days ago a Northern gentle? man came to Little Rock and announced |*fiis intention of buying a home. "I am ! not so particular with the regard to the I house and ground," said he, "as I am about the water. There must be a well of cold wate.r.M J "Think I've got the very place," re? plied an old fellow whose shirt bosom was streaked with tobacco juice. "Meet me here to morrow." The next day the old fellow came down and conducted the Northern gentleman to his premises. "The house is not very good," said the Northern' gentleman. "No nothin' extra." "Grounds not very pleasing." "No great shakes. Let's try the wa? ter." He dre?v a bucket of water from the well, and when the Northern-' gentleman drank bis teeth chattered. "Why that's the coldest water I ever drank." The Northern geutleman was so much pleased that be bought the place without further questioning seeing that the old fellow was not anxious to sell, and fear? ing that he might change his mind. Several days afterwards, the Northern gentleman sought the old fellow and said : "I ought to take a gun and shoot you, ! you swindling scoundrel." "What's the matter?" looking up in surprise. "Matter! why that water is so warm I can't drink it. I bought it with the understanding that it was cold." "Was cold when you bought it, ped ner." "But it's warm now." ' "Yes, for you see, the ice has melted. No trouble to make that water cold, podoer. All you have to do is to throw in a cart load of ice. No well is any account unless you take care of it. I'm in the ice business. Would like to have your trade."?Arhansaw Traveler. ? Texas will ship 300,000 head of cattle this spring, valued at ?5,000,000. ?

A Cure For Hog Cholera, r ^fa^-Lewiston . Gazelle published in Fulton Countyplll.ycontains the follow? ing : "Every paper iu the United States ought occasionally to keep the fact be? fore its readers that burnt corn is a cer? tain and speedy cure for bog cholera. The best way is to make a pile of corn on *ihe_cobs, effectually scorch it, and then give the affected hogs free access to it. This remedy was discovered by E. E. Lock at the time his distillery in this county was burned, together with a large lot of store corn, which was so much injured as to be unfit for use, aud was hauled out and greedily eaten by the hogs, several of which were dying daily. After the second day not a single hog was lost, and the disease eutirely con? quered. The remedy has been tried in a number of cases since, and never failed. ? How woiild you like to be cremated?

We saw a farmer the other day with a fine-looking team passing our residence. One of the horaes in his team had a familiar look. Halting the farmer, we said, on looking closely at his horse, "Why, your off horse is the counterpart of neighbor -'s balky horse?the one he had so much trouble with a year or two ago." "Why," Baid the farmer, "this is the same animal. After a few days, I never had any trouble with him." "How did you break the balky creature 1" we inquired. "By kindness," retorted the farmer; "the same way that I have broke lots of other horses in my lifetime that were considered unsafe, either in the saddle or harness." Well, well, well, this proves what some one said, that a horse is never vicious or intractible with? out a direct cause. If a horse is restive or timorous., you may be sure that these faults arise horn defects in his education. He has been treated either awkwardly or brutally. Commence the education of a horse at his birth ; accustom him to the presence, voice and sigbt of man ; speak and act gently; caress him and do not startle him; all chastisement or cruelty confuses the animal aud makes him wild. They are good men who make good horses. We do uot remember of ever seeing an uncertain, unsafe, balky horse belonging to a man of this character. They make the horse good. ? A jolly old uncle had been relating some incidents of his earlier life to his nephew. "Of all the women you met, uncle," said the young man "by which were you most struck." "By your aunt, my boy, by your aunt/' replied the old gentleman, dropping his voice and feel? ing the back of his head tenderly. ? "Will the coming man fly?" He probably will when the coming woman gets after him. TUTT'S r TORPID BOWELS, D1SOR DE RED LIVER, and MALARIA.- T From these sources arise three-fourth a of the diseases of the human race.

' A FEW WORDS FROM " OAPT. R. W. BONNER, A WELL-KJfOWS CITIZEN OP MACOU, GA. In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son, who wna at that time living at Clinton, Ga.. came over to 9cc mc with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the last stages of consumption and that her physician had pronounced her case hope? less. 1 went immediately over, and I felt that nothing could be doue. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at limes would discharge from her lungs a largo quantity of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the l"i<i :ages of the dis? ease. This was about the time you began to ad? vertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as niy son expressed a desire lo give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed dosu was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was Dually restored to lifo and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medi? cine would be required, that he does not speak of it In most glowing terms. Not long sir.ee a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced hy my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she wis cured as if by magic."

POISON In the blood is apt to show itself in the Spring, and nature should by all means be assisted in throwing it off. Swift's Specific does this effectively. It is a purely vegeta? ble, non-poisonous remedy, which helps nature to force all the poison or taint out through the pores of the skin. Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Tenn., writes, under date March 10,1884: "I had chills and fever, followed by rheumatism, for three years, so that I was not able to at? tend to my business; had tried almost every kind of medicine, and found no relief. A friend recommended Swift's Specific. I tried one bottle and my health began to improve. I continued until I had taken six bottles, and it has set me on my feet, as sound and well as ever. I recommend it to all similarly afflicted." Letters from twenty-three of the leading retail druggists of Atlanta say, under date of March 24,1884: "Wesell more of Swift's Specific than any other one remedy, and three to ten times as much as any other blood medicine. We sell it to all classes, and many of the best families use it as a general health tonic." I am sure that Swift's Specific saved my life. I was terribly poisoned with malaria) and was given up to die. Swift's Specific relieved me promptly and entirely. I think it is the greatest remedy of the age. C. G. Spenceb, Sup't Gas Works, Rome. Ga. I have known and used Swift's Specific for more than twenty years, and have seen more wonderful results from its use than from any remedy in or out of the Pharma? copoeia. It is a certain and safe antidote to all sorts of Blood Poison. J. Dickson Smith, M. D., Atlanta. Ga. Our Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free to applicants.
