SOME ESSENTIAL THINGS

Breaking: a Colt.
Very few there are that are fit sub
jects to. break or handle a colt A
man may know just how it ought to
be done, but still be unable to do it
There are two very essential things re
garding colt breaking. First you
must be a man of courage, and second,
you must be blessed with a mild dis
position, and be a true lover of the
class of animals you are handling.
If you hare an ungovernable temper,
don't ever undertake to break a colt
There are times when the whip
must bo applied, but all men do not
know when to stop whipping after
tbey once commence. Two or three
smart blows with the whip is far
better than double iho number half
as smart. Don't keep continually
hitting the colt for every little of
fence, and don't keep tapping him
along on the road, but when you find
him unwilling to obey the word of
command hit him once or twice, and
hit him hard, then put up the whip.
You will find him very apt to start
the next time you speak to him.
I believe in the bitting bridle, says
a writer in the American Cultivator,
for it gives the colt a good mouth and
accustoms him to the check so when
you hitch him up he is not in the least
troubled with either check or bit.
which is very annoying to him until
he becomes well used to them. Har
ness tLo colt and drive hiui about tev
eral times, leaching him to back and
start at the word of command before
hitching him to sleigh or wheels,
when you do hitch him have your
harness strong. :aitl so regulated that
you wont have to unbuckle any
"straps. Then if you happen to get
into a scrape and want to detach the
colt quickly from the cart you can do
o.
Xcver leave off the kicking strap
until the colt has been driven long
enough to be thoroughly broken, no
matter how kind he may appear. If
you wish to bo safe, keep on the strap
at least two months. We read and
hear about controlling bits, but they
are no good. The: e Ls not a bit top of
earth that will prevent a colt or horse
from kicking, and a harsh bit of any
kind is the worst thing you can put
into the mouth of a colt or a puller.
Once in a while you will find a horse
that requires a jaw-breaking bit but
they are few and far between, and ate
generally not worth the price of
the bit. A good-sized leather-covered
bit and a nose strap buckled
tight enough to keep the mouth closed,
will contro any ordinary puller or
- colt and will not fret or chafe them.
When you first start out with your
colt he is very apt to want to start off
quickry. It is better to indulge him
in this at first rather than to pull him
back, as he will settle down after
going a short distance, and if you pull
or yank him. he is very apt to balk
and it is better always to avoid balk
imr if possible.
Colts differ in intelligence, the same
as childrea and as a rule the bettor

apt they are to forget I would much
rather face a locomotive with a well
bred, high-strung colt than with a
lunkhead. The well-bred colt has
confidence in his driver, but the lunk
head never. The dull colt never sees
an object until he comes in contact
with it; then his first impulse is to get
away; but the bright clear-headed
colt sees ahead, and by the time he
comes up to the very thing that has
scared the dull colt has. with the aid
of his driver, reasoned the object out
and nino times out of ten will go past
the object without shying.
Take great care when unhitching
the colt to see that he don't start out
with a holdback or some other strap
hitched. When you hitch the colt
for a drive compel him to stand a few
moments after he is hooked to the
carriage. This will teach him to
wait until you are ready. Give him
short drives at first, and never drive
long enough to get him leg-weary.
Always drive him a good road gait
making him road over the little hills
and well up to the large ones. By so
doing you teach your colt to become a
good road horse, which will make him
very valuable even if he never trots
fast
Teach him to be a good walker.
. and whenever you find him lagging at
the walking gait touch him up. He
will so'on learn to walk well, which is
verv essential to a good horse.

My garden is ten rods long and

HER ASHES
IN THREE
CONTINENTS

Description mi the JUBostaePlaess, erf
the Keaaalas of Tfceoophya Greatest
lrlestss Plans for the Final Faaeral
Ceremonies.
It was a matter of much surprise to
many persons who have carefully kept
track of the Theosophical society that
Mme. Blavatsky should have made no
definite arrangements before her death
as to the disposition that should be
made of her ashes.
it is unquestionably true that she
left positive directions to be cremated,
but so far as the public haslearned she
said nothiug whatever as to whether
her ashes should be bnried, scattered
or preserved, or as to who should have
the guardianship of them. The ques
tion is now definitely settled, but it
cannot be ascertained that it is settled
! in accordance with any desire expressed
by herself, or, indeed, that she ex
presed any desire in the matter.
It is altogether likely, indeed, that
she did not, for it is certain that after
her death the Theosophical society
(which has now divided the ashes in
three parts), feared that the relatives
of the famous woman would interfere
with the arrangements for the crema
tion or would claim the ashes atter the
remains had been burned.
It was not. so simple a matter as it
might seem, and it was not settled until
after it had been discussed at the Lon
don convention in July of last year and
a consultation had been held between
three of the most prominent members
of the society.
CoL Henry S. Olcott, who was then
president of the society; Mr. William
Q. Judge, who was and is the general
secretary, and Mrs. Annie Besant, who
has been styled Mine. B'avatskj''s suc
cessor as the leader of thought, but
who disclaims that honor, met in Lon
don shortly after the death of the high
priestess, and with the full concurrence
I
SEW YORK SHRINE VASE.
of the society at large settled the
question. They are unquestionably
the three mct prominent theosophists
and there has been no dissent from
their decision. This was that one part
of the abbes should remain in London
in the keeping of the main society; one
part should fro to ludia in Col. Olcott' s
charge, and the third should be brought
to America hy Mr. Judge, to be pre
served in New York by the American
section. The arrangement proved satis
factory to the convention, and it has
been carried out
According to precedent, a most
elaborate ceremonial might yet be per
formed over the ashes, and they might
be scattered over the waves of the sea.
Such a ceremony was performed in
New York when the Baron de Palm's
asbeswere to be scattered. It was con
ducted by a Hindoo priest and was in
strict accordance with the Hindoo
ritual. It was expected and proposed
by some theosophists that this should
be done in Mme. Blavatsky's ca-c aud
it was even urged that tlu ash.s be
earricd to the hanks of the sacred river
Ganges and sattered on that river in
accordance with the strictest Brah
minical usage. It is not quite clear
why this proposition was not cjrricd
out, but for some reason or other it did
not prove acceptable, and the asiies
will therefore be preserved in perma
nent receptacles in three quarters of
the globe until the cycles are accom
plished and the Great Praia va come.
Neither of the three permanent resting-places
is yet completed, although
all three have been designed. The
London third now rests in a vase of
Benares copper, beaten and cut into
the form and bearing the ornamenta
tion shown in the accompanying cut
This vase is in the London headquar
ters. It will continue to hold the ashes
until the Swedish artist, Bengtsson,
shall have completed the very much
finer one which he is now making.
Then the contents are to be shifted for
the last time without ceremony. The

permanent vase Is to remain where the
temporary one now is, in the society's
building, 19 Avenue road, London.
The preparations for the ultimate
resting place of the American section
of the ashes are necessarily delayed by
reason of the fact that the society has
not yet taken possession of its new
house in Madison avenue near Thirty
second street New York. As soon,
however, as possession can be oBtained,
which is expected about April 1, the
house is to be remodeled and in the
general secretary's room on the main
floor a shrine is to be built after the de
sign shown in the cut The, shrine is
to contain a vase, in front of which
will be a hermetically sealed glass
window, and in tbe vase will be the
ashes.
Most impressive of the three resting
places which the great tlieosophtst's
ashes are to find will be the dagoba
which Col. Olcott has in course of erec
tion in Adyar, near Madras, India,
where the Theosophical society has a
property of some twenty-one acres
fronting on the big maps.
A dagoba is a mausoleum in which
rest the mortal remains of a deity or
saint Buddha's remains are said to
rest in many of these dagobas in many
countries, and this fact is considered
ample authority by the Theosophical
society for the segregation of the frac
tions of Mme. Blavatsky.

The Taj Mahal, for example, erected
by Shah Jehan lor his wife Mumtazi

extant.
Mme. Blavatsky's dagoba is to be, as
will be observed by examining- the ac
companying picture, a comparatively
modest structure, though by no means
devoid of pre!-. on. It is to be con
structed, like t''e main structure of the
Taj Mahal, of pink sandstone ftoni Hay

minaret-like spire (which has no sym

Benares brass.
It has not yet been m-ade known
whether any ceremonies will accom

remains in the ls:grba, but it is more i
than likely that ttie ex-pt-esident of the j
society will arrange tor :-ome ceremony.

The
Love of Finery For Personal Wear
Found All Over the Glohr.
The love of ornament is inherent in
the human race, announces the Jew
eler's Review.
Kvery body likes to deck his person,
from the savage, who wears around
his neck a string of bones, to the so
ciety queen, who glitters with a thou
sand gems.
It is not an ignoble passion. this
love of ornament, although there is a
strong argument for the possession of
reasoning power by animals in this
very passion.
Take a dog. for instance. Have
you ever noticed what a difference
there is iu the actions of a do; after
it has had put about its neck a collar
or ribbon? How proudly it struts?
and how it wants every one of its
friends to notice the ornament?

lions and tigers wash themselves in ex

time a face sponge and brush, and the
rough tongue combs the rest of the

wash their faces, and the hare's foot is
so suitable for a brush that it is always
used to apply the "paint" to the face

miles northwest of town, in the vicin

The mouth of the cave is from two
to three feet wide and six feot long,

the trail was slippery with ice or snow
would easily lose their foothold and
be precipitated into the cave. It is a

PUMPING FOR LIFE.
A Uuique But Startling Cure for Lasiness
Prove KCectual.
A traveler, in the course of a morn
ing walk in Amsterdam, came upon a
group gathered around a welt into
which a strongly-built man had just

was at tho top of tho well had been
opened, and a stream of water from it
was flowing into tho well and gradu
ally filling it The man below had
quite enough to do. if he did not want
to be drowned, to keep the water out
by means of a pump that was at the
bottom of the well.
Tho traveler, pitying the man. asked
for an explanation of what seemed a
cruet heartless joke.

near, "that feliow is. as you sea

DANGER IN MEAT DIET.
Lime Water Should Be Used With the
Flesh Pots.
The evils of a meat diet are being
appreciated by many high livers in
cities, and these are being counter
acted partly by the wealthy in adding
more fruits and vegetables to their
tables during the winter. The cheap
ness of meat and a peculiar craving
which the system seems to have for
meat have gradually made it common
for city people to live almost entirely
off meat in the winter months. Meat
is eaten three times a day in quanti
ties, and the excessive use of such a
diet is that rheumatic and gout tem
peraments are acquired. These tem
peraments are on the increase, and
they are largely due to the excessive
use of meat
Lime water counteracts the evils of
this diet to a large extent Alkaline
waters of all kinds have a tendency to
act as a dilutent, and hence are beni
ficial to persons addicted to a heavy
meat diet. Lime water has a tendency
to make children grow, and in coun
tries where the drinking water is
heavily impregnated with it the men
are apt to be tall. It is now used very
extensively in the milk for children,
but it should not be restricted to chil
dren, for in this meat-eating genera

sanitary diet alkaline water is needed
for every person who eats heavily of
meat, and this means nearly everybody
except the vegetarians.
A MarvelouN e'blp.
In 2C8 B. C. Archimedes devised a
marvelous ship for Hiero of Syracuse.
Her three lofty masts had been brought
from Britain, whereas our ships' masts
are of iron or obtained from New
Zealand or from Vancouver Island.
Luxuriously fitted sleeping apartments
abounded and one of her banqnet halls
was paved with agate and costly Sic
ilian stone. Other floors were cun
ningly inlaid with scenes from the
Iliad." Stables for many horses,
ponds stocked with live lish. gardens
watered by artilicial rivulets and hot
baths were provided for use or amuse
ment Ptolemy Fhilopator possessed
a nuptial yacht the Thalamegon, 312
feet long and 45 feet deep. A grace
ful gallery, supported by curiously
carved columns, ran round tbe vessel
and within wero temples of Venus and
of Bacchus. Her masts were 100 feet
high, her sails and cordage of royal
purple hue.
Her Bee Was Crowded.
Mrs. Res E. Dent And you must
come to my divorce bee. you know.
Mrs. E. Sterner Divorce bee?
What is that?
Why. every one sits around a big
box that's all full of pieces of paper,
one of which has a divorce decree
written on it. Then every one draws,
and the one who gets the decree has a
divorce, free of charge. Isn't it love

LEGEND OP MILL CRICK.
TM of the Went Obstacle to Xsvlgattoa
on the Kennebec River.
A Maine paper recalls the wierd
legend of MillRock. which is told in
thVfoUowing strain: A man named
Kaler is said to have once -Bred on
London HilL He was a hermit, be
sides having the reputation of being a
wizard of the most uncanny kind.
Once a runaway couple appealed to
him for help. The hero told the old
, man that he would give 100 "Spanish
milled dollars" for a storm that wonld
delay his ladylove's father and friends,
who were known to be in hot pursuit
The old man made sure of the cash
and then took a' small leather bag
from a chest and handed it to the
young man, with this remark: "Go
back to the cross-roads, cut open tho
j bag, squeeze out its contents, and then
' run for your life." The gallant did as
. directed. In a few minutes the sound
' of distant thunder was heard and above
it the roar of a hurricane. The old
man shook his head and remarked:
"That bagful was most too strong."
The next morning showed that where
j a peaceful little brook had flowed was
! a fearful gorge, choked with timbers
, and uprooted trees. The mill was
t gone and the big boulder which had
served as its foundation had been
swept far into the river. This is the
legend of "Mill Rock," the worst ob
stacle to navigation on the Kennebec
river.
The French Horn.
The French horn, or cor de chasse, ia
regarded by some musicians as the
sweetest and mellowest of all the wind
instruments. In Beethoven's time, it
was little else than the old hunting
horn, which, for the convenience of
the mounted hunter, was arranged in
spiral convolutions, to be slipped over
the head and carried resting on one
shoulder and under the opposite arm.
The Germans still call it the waldhorn,
that is, "forest horn." If the orchestra
French horns were straightened ont
they would be seventeen feet long.
"The convolutions of the horn and the
many turns of the trumpet are all the
fruit of necessity; they could not be
manipulated to produce the tones asked
of them if they wee not bent and
curved. The trumpet, when its tube is
lengthened by the addition of crooks
for the lowest key, is eight feet long;
the tuba sixteen. In most orchestras
(in all those in the United States, in
fact, except the Boston Symphony
orchestra) the word 'trumpet' is
merely a euphemism for cornet the
familiar leading instrument of the
brass band.
An Original Method.
A half dozen prominent young women
of Sault Ste Marie adopted a novel way
recently of punishing Fred Clayton, a
young man who had been scattering
scandalous tales regarding them.
Dressed in old clothes and armed with
brushes and two buckets of bright red
paint they called at his home ..and in
veigled him out Four of the young
women seized and dragged him half a
block down the street and held him
while the other two vigorously plied
the paintbrush. When they finally re
leased him there was not a spot on his
clothes, face or head that was not cov
ered with a coat of fiery red paint
Lignum Vllae Hrahes.
It appears that the lignum vitaa,
which has been used so successfully
abroad fer bariuga. possesses special
value for brake block:,giving even bet
ter results than east irou. After being
cut to the swep of the wheel it is
firmly elamped to the brake thc. Ow
ing to its extreme hardness the vroeel
wean, vry slightly and uniformly.
