The huge eocoa mat is rolled into a long cj Under, and a fjtieer fowr-whcelel truck 4s drawn into th ring, astraddle of the rolled mat, which is thi-ii strapiM-d to the truck. All hands then pull away the truck and its load through the entrance door and out of sight. Thus the bare 1oard of the ring are csl to view, and they are seen to lm pierced with ntimlieiiess holes.

A few lessons will servo to teach him from vour manner tho diflereiUH! between right ami left; "go' and "cmo;" and "walk; "quick' and "slow. If your pup is intelligent, it will take only a short time to teach him the above lessons. I have seen pups six weeks old keep stix-k from coming through an open gate. The shepherd pup is much like a child; lie is a great mil tator. I know a pup six months old that can toll as well as his master if his fourteen cows are in the lot at milking time. The owner tf this pup told mo that one evening when ho supposed the e-ows were all in tho pup caught the gate which ho was closing, and pulled it open and then started on a run and brought in another cow that had not tieeii missed. Didn't that pup know thirteen from fourteen? Don't. abuse your dog. (Jive the most intelligent pup on earth to a coarse, brutal master, and I guarante-e ho will turn out a worthless cur. Kindness to animals is as much a duty as kindness to our fel low men. It is as natural for a well breil, intelligent Scotch shepherd elog to work as to eat, and the only rules for his training are to be kind, patient and faithful in your instruction.

Yonng people have a great deal of trouble with their hands, and commit many faults with them. When they go Uhjii tho platform to Ppeak a picco, they know not what to do with those troub'esome and superfluous append ages, unless some good teacher of elo cution has told them: and then it is loud to obey his injunction V) "let them alone." J list, Jo let them hang quietly and naturally by tho side most of the time. Is very ilill'u ult for a tyro. A Imy's im- pul p is to get hold of his coat, fumble with his waU h-cliain, or make gestures which add no force to his words. An old teacher of elocution has given this excellent rule: When vour hands have nothing to do, do nothing with them; let them hang." Some Itovs, yes, and somo ffiiis, too. have a world of trouble In keeping their hands clean. Probably, on this very day, in the United States, one hun dred thousand mothers have Fpnkcn words like these, in various to cs: 'Johnny, what dremlf til hands toeumtj to the table w ith! (!o ami wash them, sir, at once!" Johnny gazes ruefully at wnat ills cider sister calls his "hor rid paws." and wonders how they could have acquired their dismal hue. It t a mystery, lie started clean in the morning; at least, he thought h did, and he has only been to school. let look at his hands! isia. k as a charcoal dealer's, with units fear'nl to behold. Many boy s wonder, nntiiratly enough, how grown jN-opIe ki-ep their hands clem all day without taking much trouble about it. Itovs handle, every thing, whether clean or dirty. and half of them do not know how to wash their hands, or how to wipe, them dry. Hands well-washed and perfectly" dried wilj keepcleAii four times as long as hands Iialf-wa."hcd and half-dried. Nails, too, are much more easily kept ill goixl oilier if they are attended to fiiMjuently and yvith care and thorou li nes. Many, indeed, are the fault, of tho hands. One of the worst is )Minting the linger of scorn at tho faults of other Hiling the thumb was tho Italian method of expressing contempt in tha days of Komeo and Juliet, the tragedy of whose lives began with their servants biting th ir thumbs at one another. It is with tho hands that boys pinch. scratch, tight and Meal. Hamlet called his hands "pickers and stealers." But, then, what beiutiful and won derful things tlie human hand can do! what lovely pictures it can paint; what enchanting music it can play; what val iant deeds it can do: w hat kind acts it can perform! Best of all, it can lift up the fallen, mid welcome back to hope and new efTort the rcM'!it'iit wanderer from the path of rccitude. We said the ther week.

SMUT IN CORN. Its Prevention KfTrrlril l Hon kin !! SOTri In a CopHr ftilphat Solution. Smut in corn is fast becoming a pre vailing evil, injuring the crops and poisoning the fodder and the cattle which consume it. Its nnture is worth study, so that some remcly can bo found for it. It is a pure parasitic dis ease, no doliot, winch atieets every pars of the plant and is as liable to infect the scd and .the soil as the plant itself. In fact the evidence goes to show that every part of the plant is infected, for the outburst of the secl of the fungus appears in every part, tho roots, stem. leaves, flowers and seed being all more or le-ss alVcetod. The soil can not help but Iro infected by the largo quantity of smut left upon it in the debris of the crop and that brought by the winds and washed down by tlie rains from the air in yvhich it floats. The smut of corn is precisely like that of wheat or oats in its prominent characteristics and dif fers from the latter in some invisible points only, ami tho means for evading this which are used yvith cflect-yritli tho smaller grains may bo used equally w ith corn. We have lioeii experiment ing yvith corn an hit for some years and have found the soaking of seed in a solution of sulphate of copper or one of chloride of iiotash tho common muri- ate of pot:i h used as a fertilizer has the same effect in preventing smut in the crop as it has with wheat and oaU.

Y. Sun. LINCOLN'? CAREER. Tha Thru, Principal Period of t'.ta Great ntatearaan'a l.tfa. We shall see In the course of the present work how the life of Abraham Lincoln divides Itself Into throe princi pal periods, with eorresponding stages of his intellectual development; t he first, of about forty years, ending with his term iu Congress; the second, of about ten years, concluding with Ids final campaign of political sjieech-maklng in New York and New Lngland, shortly Is-fore the Presidential nominations of 18(0; and the last of about five years. terminating at his death. We have thus far traced his career through the 3rst iieiiod of forty years. In the sev eral stage, of frontier experience through which he hail passed, and which in the main but repeated the trials and vicissitude of thousands of other boys and youths in the West, only so much individuality had been developed iu hun as brought him into tho leading class of his eon temporaries. He had risen from lalnircr to student, from clerk to law-: ver, from politician to legislator. That he had lifted himself by healthy Ambition and unaided in- dustir out of the station of a farm hand, whose routine life begins and ends in a bark-woods log-cabin, to that representative character and authority which seated him in the National Cap- itel to aid in framing laws for lus coun try, was already an achievement that may well ls held honorably to crown a career of forty years. ' Such achievement ami such distinc tion, however, wt re not so uncommon as to appear phenomenal. Hundreds of other boys, Imni In log-cabins, had won similar elevation in the many, practical schools of Western public life. Even in ordinary times there still re mained within the reach of average In tellects several higher grades of public service. It is quito probable that the superior talents of Lincoln would have made him Governor of Illinois or given him a term in the Lnited States isonate. But the story of his life would not have Commanded, as it now does, the un flagging attention of postoriiy had there not fallen upon his generation the usual conditions and opportunities brought abont by a series of re markable convulsions In National poli tics. If we would correctly understand how Uncoln became, first n eonspicii ous actor, and then a chosen leader, in a great strife of National parties for supremacy and power, we must briefly study the migin and development of the great slavery controversy in Amer ican legislation which found its high est activity and decisive culmination i the single decade from 1-S50 to lUfiO. We should greatly err, however, if we attribntiMl the new events in Lincoln's career to the caprice of fortune. The conditions and opport unities of which we speak were broadly National, and open to all without restriction of rank or locality. Many of his contempora ries had seemingly overshadowing ad vantages, by prominence and training, to seize and appropriate them to their own advancement. It is precisely this careful stndv of the time which shows by what inevitable process of se- lection honors and labors of which ho did not dream fell upon him; how, in deed, it was not the individual who gained the prize, but the paramount duty yvhich claimed tho man.

Z3 WONDERFUL TOWERS oma of tha Moat ItataarkaMe Mructures ot tha Kind tn tha World. The ancient city of Pisa. Italy, Is fa mous for Its lofty and magnificent structures, Rome of which have Very in teresting stories. None of them, how ever, is so wonderful as the celebrated leaning tower. This building was commenced in 1174 by a Pisan archi tect, named Bon aim a, by William of Iniispruck. It Is of cylindrical form. one hundred ana, seventy-inno leei high, fifty feet in diameter, and leans twelve feet nine Inches from the ier pendicular. It consists of eight stories. each of which has an outside gallery projecting from it. From the summit. which is reached by several hundred steps, a beautiful and extensive view may I e had of the surrounding coun try. The misconstruction was discov ered before the tower was finished, and the upper tiers yvere so shaped as to partly counteract the areutation. At the top of the tower seven immense bells were so placed, as by their eight, to counterbalance the leaning of the tower. The highest tower In the world Is at Cremona, in Northern Italy, It is three hundred and ninety-six feet high. It was begun in 1223, and the bells which are in it were cast in 1678. An astro nomical clock, made in the year 1.094, Is placed in the third story. The i lorentine campanile was com menced in 1334. by Giotto, the great painter, architect and scn'ptor. He commenced the erection of the tower with the determination to surpass all th ancient structurei of this kind, both in height antl in rit4mess of design. But Giotto, having died in 1336, the tower was completed by Taddeo Gaddi, Its height is two hundred and seventy sis feet, and it is divided into four tiers. It is of equal dimensions from bottom to top, and is built on the Italian Goth ic style. On the basement floor there are two rows of tablets in relief; they are the work of Giotto. There arc also many beautiful statues on the upper tier. It w as the original design of Giotto to have a fpire surmount the present tower, and the columns which were to support it may still be seen on the Uip of the building. The famous tower known asGiralda, is situated at Seville, Spain, 'lids tower when originally built by Phillip Gue vara, the Moor, was only two hundred and fifty feet high. But in 1568 a mag nificent lielfry one hundred feet hij;h was added, and it is now the scco d highest in the world. The campanile was called Giralia. because of the brazen weathercock in ita top storv. Although the figure weighs a ton and a half, it Is easily turned by the wind. It is said that a very fine campanile was situated at Salisbury, England. It is supposed to have been two hundred feet high, and was probably- destroj etl by Sir Thomas Wyatt. the younger, white leading an insurrectionary mob. Louisville (Ay.) Outlook. Some -Mitigating Circumstances. "See here, Jones, I want to talk to you a moment," said an Austin philan thropist; "don't you know yon are not doing your duty by your children in not sending them to school? That's not the way a fond father should treat his ehi dreri." "Well, now, I don't know about that," replied Jones. "I don't believe you fully realize what you are talking about. Now, I have a brother whose oldest son was sent up for two years for horse stealing, and the judge, in sentencing him, said that his ignorance and lack of early education were strong mitigating circumstances in the case; and instead of making the sentence ten years, which he would have done had the boy never received any education, he would only make it two. Now, do you suppose I am going to rob my boys of those miti gating circumstances that have already been such a bonanza in the family? No, sir; before I do, I hope my rigtit arm will cleave to the roof of my mouth!" Texas Sipings. Toothsome Boiled Bread. A writer in a housekeeping journal affirms that bread can be boiled instead of baking it and with far less heat of the range. The new method consists mainly in steaming the dough instead of cooking it in the oven. It is claimed that this is a great invention, as it saves the time and experience neces sary to get the oven to the right heat for baking, which has always proved the great obstacle to baking at home. The utensils required are simply these: First a tin mould, or camp-kettle, in which the dough is placed after it has been mixed with the usual ingredients water, yeast, sugar and suit and secondly, a larger tin saucepan, into which the mould fits. The waU'r in the outer saucepan is allowed to boil aronnd the tin mould for two or three hours, the lids of both utensils being kept closely elown and at the end of that time the loaf may be turned out. It will be found firm, solid and palatable, with all the qualities of good bread. A'. Y. World. The Presbyterian General Assem bly, of England have forwarded a pe tition to Queen Victoria praying for protection to their mission work in the New Hebritle3. It is pointed out that the missionaries have been successful in civilizing a large portion of the peo ple of the New Hebrides. Nearly 180,000 ha been expended in carry ing on tho work, in which sixteen mis sionaries and over one hundred native teachers and evangelists are engaged. The mission has made 9,000 converts to Christianity while 50,000 natives had been more or less civilized. Main Strset, NON, OREiSON,
