It was a large, a ry room, with deep
window seats and with doors on e ther
side; on one side opening on a broad
veranda, beyond wh ch the grass
slopped down to the edge of a broo
bordered with pine and hemlock. On
the opposite side the same deep-set
windows looked into an 6ld-fash;oned
flower garden, where tufts of larksi ur,
swc't-w.lliam and all the old favorites
luxuriated, and where bunches of pep

chamom le, catn p, fennel and other
herbs grew and flour shed. Within the
k tchen cool shadows lay across the
pale gray floor, an old-time looking
glass, a tall clock in a corner, above Ls
face a ship tossing restlessly on the
green waves; behind glass doors were
shelves of burnished tinware and shin
ing china, and in a large open fireplace
was always a great bed of coals ready
for covered spiders and gridirons.
By one of the deep windows was the
housekeeper s easy cha-r, her table and
work-basket. Inside the deep, flaring
window, and just above the reach of
small hands, hung what might be
called a series of pockets, made of
bine and scarlet, a strip about half

top and a few flannel bits for needle-;;

KINDNESS TO HORSES.
The Value of the Horse Dependent Largely
on Kind Treatment.
The value of our noblest animal, the
horse, depends much more upon kind
treatment than is supposed, it we go
upon our busiest streets in c t'es. or
j upon the most traveled roads in the
country, we shall soon see such treat
ment of this faithful servant as shows
how utterly ignorant many of the
drivers are of his nat'ire and how to
best profit by his labor. They have no
more comprehension of the horse than
to suppose that his best effort can only
be obtaiLel by the whip. In this re
spect the horse 's much wiser than his
dr vt. One who has studied this ani
mal can see at once that the horse
only makes a pretense of doing h s
best. He knows he is abused, and he
takes his own way to get even with his
ignorant, brutal driver. 1 he horse is
capable of strong attachment, and will
always do his best for the driver that
has ga ned his confidence by kiudness.
lhe whip is seldom used by sucn a
driver. His word is all his horses
need. Balky and unreliable horses are
nearly always made so by bad and
vicious drivers. We have owned horses
that would draw the last pound for a
k'nd driver, but would not draw the
empty wagon for one who had abused
them.
Horses are often epo led in breaking
by the want of judgment in the trainer.
'1 he horse naturally has 6trong confi
dence in man. Colt should alwa's
learn that the judgment of the trainer
is correct In learning to draw, they
should never be hitched to anything
they can not easily move, and if this is
kept up they will soon have perfect
confidence m their capacity to pull any
load they are niched to. A team so
broken can be relied upon to do their
very best in'an emergency. Such a team
is worth fifty per cent, more for service
than one that has been broken by the
bap-hazard driver, who does not think
it can do any harm if he tries them on
a load which tnev can not pull. But,
hav.ng been set, they will draw with
less courage next t me. and when set a
few times w.ll expect to be set every
time, and will be good only for a load
of half their capacity, lhere Is too
large a proportion of horses that" do
just such inefficient work. Some teams,
originally well broken, are spoiled by
bad drivers fterward. . The unfort
unate point is, that evcryliodv is apt to
think himself a good driver. Some ap
pear to regard dnvm? merely as know
ing wh'ch rein to pull for direction of
the team. Too many common drivers

then, does the art of driv ng horses re-
m re practice under an expert? All
drivers, to be entrusted with a valuable
team of horses, should be educated for
the business. The driver should not
only know how to handle the re ns, but
bow to feed and groom his team. No
loud and boisterous talk to horses
should be permitted. Such always ex
cites the temper of the horse, and if he

"WORTH WHILE."
Whatever In Worth lloinir at All, Is
Worth l)iii Well.
Prince Albert Victor, the prospective
heir to the thro ie of England, made his
maiden speech the other day to an as
sembly of lads of his owu age. "What
ever is worth doi:ig at all is worth do
ing accurately," he said; "whether vou
sharpen your pencil or black your boots,
do it thoroughly and well."
A young lad who was a pupil at
Itugby school was noted for his bad
penmanship. When his teachers re
monstrated, he replied: "Many men of

war. An order he copied for transmission
was so illegible that it was given incor

the loss of a great m.iny brave men.
A few years ago the keeper of a life-
saving station on the Atlantic coast
found that h;s supply of powder had
given out. The nearest village was two
or three miles distant, and the weather
was inclement. He concluded that as
it "was not worth while to go so fur ex
pressly for such a trifle," he would wait
for a few days before .sending for a sup
ply. That uight a vessel was wrecked
within sight of the station. A line could
have been given to the crew if he had
been able to use the mortar, but he had
no powder. He saw the drowning men
pensn one oy one insignt, knowing thai
he alone was to blame. A few "davs
afterward he was dismissed from the
service.
The exper'ence of every man will
suggest similar instances that confirm
the truth of the young Prince's advice
