A Word is tiik DcrEssi: or Wo
jiex. Men too often niiillfrn women
in nmisinjj thorn of pxtr.ivaganvu in
ilrefes. Gi'tionilizin ii alwitys danger
ous and particularly to where women
nro concerned. The mnswrf of women
are not Fpendthrirt; any wine man will
admit tlmt ns a rule women nro not ex
travagant, They have certain pet
theories regarding dress which if not
ad mini hi euro nevcrtliele.-H nutof Milll
ciont importance to warrant u libel to
ho written against them. The truth U
that women are not, nor ever have
been, as a fe.v. extravagant: "ii the
contrary, they are economical many
timed topenuriousness. They have no
income of their own, anil the money
given them by their husband's U al
ways for family expenses, and goes to
the Durehitso of wearing nnparel and
household gootN, and the little that is
left is often le.s than very many men
imagine. The trouble is that women
buy lor show when they do buy, and
thev do their shopulng in such an
elaborate and deliberate way that lookers-on
are deceived. Thon again wo
men buy only costly articles, thoo that
will bo seen to advanttige. Hats and
gloves they spend money on: also on
trimmings or ornaments, but very sel
dom do women wear as costly or as
valuable clothing as men.
Their costumes .are more snowy and
varied, more perishable and cost less
than the suits or-garnients of men.
Women have many wouicnessos
which can he used against them, hut
thov are notnioro numerous than thne
of men, nor nro their habits half so ex
pensive. They wear more fancy tri
ties; pay moro for ribbons, and laces,
and "gcwgaws,''than men do for their
articles of adornment, but they have no
expensivo tastes as men have and
wincii are moro tnau oiii-ot to any tooi-i-ih
vanities that women noshes, and
theycontriveandmake much for them
selves which men never think of doing.
This year women were nover moro
careful of expenditiuc, never more
thoughtful ot the upintintla they make.
They have worn cotton goods in place,
have adhered to what they felt was
tho most economical plan of living,
and mrtead of being commented upon
lor tneir extravagance tncy ought to
bo prait-ed. And tho cynical single
men and the disappointed married
ones who cast tho slur on the sex that
is tlono when they aro assailed as ex
travagant, sue guilty of a wrong which
is perpetrated in ignoranco or, witii
malicious intent. Perhaps a triflo of
justice 111 this matter would exhibit in
a moie prominent way tho common
sense of such carping libelcrs.
Agriculture is depressed in Greece.
A French traveller says: "Tho Greeks
assert that they wcro not born for agri
culture, and lam afraid they are right.
The Greek finds himself ,in the right
place at tho door ol a shop, or on the
deck of avessol. Greeks who cultivate
Jlio ground feelthemselvos humilia-
teu." Jjespuo tne enorts oi mo uov-
eminent the people will not turn to
their rich soil. Tho farming classes
Jivo poorly. They havo good mules,
small swilt and hardy horses; small
and thin, but well shaped cattle, nnd
quantities of sheep and goats, whose
miiK mey urmK. it costs saw to es-
tnbliftli 11 Hock ol one hundred sheen.
which thon yields about $100 a year.
Cnbbnge and onions aro tho staple gar
den vegetables. Apples, pears, and
cherries aro bad. Tho soil is for tho
most part very fertile. Although not
a tenth of tho countiy is under cultiva
tion, very few tanners have moro than
a couplo of acres, and three or four per
sons often havo claims on different
crops on the samo farm, tho olives be
longing to one, tho beans to another,
and so on. Tho farmers aro not ambi
tious, nnd only caro just to live. Ono
fourth of the year is devoted to holi
days.

Tho emancipation of tho serfs in

the last census gives 105 nobles to even
1.D00 f tho population, or in all 80,000
of the nobility, ofwhnm 24,000 aro with
out any means of support, the act of
emancipation having deprived them of
tint greater part of their eitatos as well
ns tho ownership of tho laborers. The
Grand Duke jUichael, the Govenor of
the Province, has done all in his power
to relievo the-e titled proletariun by
relaxing the rules concerning ndniU

tho military and general education of
tho children. Xaval academies aro to

A new plague, s-ays the Levant ITcr-
altl, lias fallen upon rigypt in the form
ot a mortality among horse. There
were some premonitory symptoms of
this dlseaso last year, and a great many
valuable stabtos were ravaged by it,
among others that of Itl.a Pasha, Min
ister of Justice. Latterly tho malady
has spread with extraordinary rapidity
almost emptying tho cavalry and artil
lery stables, and attacking tho stud of
the Khedive himself, who has lo'ita
number of valuable animals.
Mr. C. L. Jenniiig4, of Rochester, tho

he deluded tho faithful believers in

Seven years ago a company in Cali

of sugar in Franco tlmt it lias made

An clement found in tho deep-sea
dredgings in tho voyago of IhoChalon
ger is "cosmic-dust," or dust formed
from aerolites. Tlio general tenor of a
paper nt tho British Association on the
discoveries of tlio voyago wont to prove
that truo equivalents of tho deep-sea

geologic theories.
Forced confessions nro not always to

ono hundred lashes. Tho next day
tho man from whom tho bill had boon

Colts Hones Training.
One of the moot really pleasurable operation-!
in tin intelligent farmer's business,
says tho Maryland Farmer, is training
(breaking, ns il it commonly called) his colts.
A colt, when not spolld , Is tho most confld
tnc, soclabln arid it quiring' animal on tho
farm, anil no other U to fond of tho society
of men and boys ns tlio oolt la, when kindly
ued; ho N rmturnlty timid, a little fearful of
things which ho doc not understand, but
very quickly comes to know and trust, If he
is kindly and pat'enlly bandied. Tbero Is
uo other Animal, mil oven tho dog, which so
much dollghts to bo guided and commanded
by nun , and to I e talkid to and catestod by
him, ns the hon-o.
The true Arab! tn Ii rso is the most gentle,
teaultubleund n liablu.as well as most spirit
ed and tuduthirf or nil horses, and the
Aribi,osa peipln, tut. the best horso train
ers In the world; the wholo family ohildron,
vuimsn mnl men-.in traltetsof, and com
panion! v.ltli, Lut heries and colts from In
fancy; and tLoy never havo any trouble or
nculdents or dangers in the discipline and
usa of their horses; the colts nnd children
and family are all tegcther, from tho young
Oil to tho oldost; tho colls and horses ltarn
to uuJerstand and havo perfect conlidenco
In the men nnd children, and aro never
abused so ns to lose tlmt confidence; conse
quently, thoro Is never auy such thing
known among Arabs as balky, bucking or
obstinate horses; they aro educated kindly,
not, whipped , or friiihttucd, or tcolded.
Thou, to begin with, Ihu very llrst essen
tial in successfully hanullug and educating
tho colt, and making it pleasant horse of
hltn if, to pain his ontlro conlidenco, so that
ho k uot nt till afmld you will hurt him; aud
tho noxt C9sentlnl Is to make him fairly un
deistaud what you want of him; ho cannot
do whnt jou deslro until he knot's, any
moro than a boy put fresh into a shop, or
vohoal,can go on with icsous or work bo
foro ho fairly understands what ho is requir
ed to do. Kducatlng colls is ono of tlio
nicest, us woll ns most pleasant duties, and
one of tho oaslest, If pursued with pationco
and lutelllgouco that can cngago n farmer.
Wo havo, in passed years, trained and pro
pped for use up to good horsehnod, uiauy
colts In our time, and mo never made a
balky, skittish, kicking or runaway horse of
any of them, and novor had one to break
Httyharnossor seek to throw tlio ilder with
tho least capllousiicts; aud above all, wo
nevor practiced tho cruel habit of "bitting"
colts, as it is called, to subdue them.
When thoy wero but a fow weeks old tho
younger tbo bct'or wo begau handling
them gently, so that thoy wero uomoio
afraid of uh than of horses In tho Held; wo
had tho full conlidenco of the mare, so that
she would not warn or caution the colt to be
afraid; but wo never allowed them to ba
pl.'iKued or tricked, to mauo them cross and
spunky, as Is ol'ton done. We early put
small oords on their neoks and notes, and
gently led thorn about; then put halters on
them, and bridles in their mouths patiently
aud tonderly winning thorn to it, not forcing
thorn then later we would put part of a
harness on them, first letting them smell
and tottoh It, so they became assured it
would not harm thorn; afterward a cellar
would bo thrown on them, giving them time
toexamlno It, to satisfy themselves thoro
was no danger and colts are very curious,
as curious as old l'aul Pry, lo examluo
everything ir they aro not irlghlenod; tbolr
skin is very tender nnd seusltlvo, often tick
lish; therefore, every strap or harness
should be put on gently, without too much,
pressuro, at first, till they got used Ui it and
tlud it will not harm them; then, by degrees,
press the collar a little harder and harder
against tho sbouldors, till they slightly
push or brace up against It, and thoy get the
(list lesson lu drawing; then go behind them
nnd pull at tho tniuos, touching them to move
forward at tho sumo tlino.
Above all, nnver get angry or Impatient
and strlko a colt. Constantly use your cool
and pleasant Ingenuity tomakothem under
stand what you want of thorn, bythowlng
and talking; and ouco learned they nover
forgot, and will always do, If not abused by
their driver.
Wo ahall glvo more on thlH subject for
young ui4u at another time, and will only
add further, , at this lime, that while wo
found considerable dilTorenco Inlbotempor
and disposition of colts during at least thirty
) cars of handling Ilium, wn never saw &
tricky or balky one that was uot mado so by
bad management; nnd in tho experience of
overtwutvo hundred hoo, In a regiment
of cavalry, wo met many which, with
etupld or pnsslouate riders, would run side
ways, backward, or not at all; but did not;
Und one of them that we took In hand that,
would not go pleasantly, as wo doslred, In.
less (hau an hour of kind, uteady manage-,
intuit, an soon as hn found us bis friend, and
hIiIo to handle and direct him; we taught
Dm uot beat him.
