To Break a Horse from KeartBC Some valuable animals have a disagree- able habit of reuring before starting when harnessed to a lartiage. A very simple method of breaking a horse of ttii^ habit is to procure a piece of strong cord from one-eighth to one-fonxth of an inch in diameter, and fifteen feet long. After the horse is harnessed co the carriage as usual, step to the off side of the »nniftl and pass one^ end of the cord under the back strap around the lu^est part of the body, which will be about two-thirds of the di«tance back from the forward to the hind less. Bring the end of the coul up about half way from the flank to the mok bone, and tie it closely in a loop or bow- kiiot, making the loop from the long end of the cord, so that, by pulling, the knot may be untied. After securing it in this manner, and as close to the bmly as pos- sible, take the long end of the cord in one hand, step into the carriage, and ask the subject to start. Whatever he may be disposed to do, he will be pretty sure not to aimoy you by rearing, and, after he has started, or in case he should attempt to kick, by pulling upon the cord from the carriage the knot may be un4ed and the cord drawn into the wagon. Stood by His Flax. A dozen rough but bravo soldiers were playing cards in the camp. "What on earth is that f" suddenly exclaimed the ringleader, stopping in the midst of the game to listen. In a moment the whole sc[uad were lis- tening to a low, solemn voice which came from a tent occupied by several rOsruits, who had arrived in camp that day. The ringleader approached the tent on tip-toe. "Boys, he's a prajin' or I'm a sinner 1" he roared out. "Three cheers for the parson 1" shouted another man of the group as the praytr ended. "You watch things for three weeks I I'll show you how to take the religion out of him I" said the first speaker laughing;. He was a large man, the ringleader in mischief. The recruit was a slight, pale-faced young fellow of about eighteen years of age. During the next three weeks, he was the butt of the camp. Then several of the boys, conquered by tha lad's gentle patience and uniform kindness to his per- secutors, begged the others to stop an- noying him. 'Oh, the little ranter is no better than the rest of us," answered the big ring- leader. '^H«'s only making believe pious. When we get under fire you'll see him run. These pious folks don't like the smell of gunpowder. I've no faith in their religion 1" lu a few weeks the regiment broke camp, inarched towards Richmond, en- tered the wilderness, and engaged in that terrible battle. The company to which the young recruit belonged had a desper- ate struggle. The br^^e was driven back, and when the line was re-formed behind the breastworks they had built in the morning, he was missing. When last seen, be was almost sur- rounded by enemies, but fighting desper- ately. At his Mde stood the brave fellow who had the poor lad a constant object of ridicule. Both were given up as lost. Suddenly, the big man was seen tramping through the underbrush, bear- ing the dead body of the recruit. Rever- ently he laid the corpse down, saving, as he wiped the blood from his own face, â€" "Boys, I couldn't leave h:m with the Rebs â€" he fought so. I thought he de- served a better burial." During a lull In the battle the men dug a shallow grave and tenderly laid the re- mains therein. Then, as one was cutting the name and regiment upon a board the big man said, with a husky voice, â€" I guess yon'd better put tho words 'Christian Soldier' in somewhere! He deserves the title, and maybe it'll console him for our abuse." There was not a dry eye among those rough men, as they stuck the rudely- carved board at the head of the grave, and, again and again, looked at the in- scription. 'Well," said one, "he was a Ohriatian soldier, if there ever was one 1 And," taming to the ringleader, **he didn't ran, did he, whoi he smdt gunpow- der?"

From the third room the visi- tor passes out by the hall to the gardm porch and entrance.

The first of these is one of the most attractive of all the pretty rooms at Sandrlngham in its elegant "cozlness " and abundance of interesting objects. The principd draw- ing-room is approached by an ante- chamber, communicating directly with the Prince's morning room, and the eye will be caught by a fine picture on the wdl of the Czar with the Prince by his side in a sleigh drawn by three horses, which ap- pear to be galloping out of the canvas.

In this room the visi- tors at Sandrlngham, uid those who are staying at the Cottage, breakfast, and here the Prince and Princess appear at lunch time with their children. There Is a fine buffat. with many pieces of interest- ing and beautiful plate. At dinner the room presents a very bright and stately appearance. The scarlet and gold-lace of the royd liveries, the play of lights, the plants and bowers on the Ottering table, lend the needfd color to t£e scene. The biiUiant-room, against the walls of which are cabinets filled with arms, some exceedingly rare and curious, of all coimtries and periods.

Workim; Winter Butter. Perhaps the following method may Eave many a tired farmer's wife hours of weary work. I have tried it and like the plan very much. 1 use a b.-trrel charn, holding tW4nty-five gallons. My butter is churned at a t«^jmperaturf of 63 ® or 64 ° in winter, and only chumeu until it Oimes about the size of wheat-kernels, or even smaller. Thn butter-miik is bhor- ooghly drained «.fl' then the butter is washed in two waters. Then take it out and set it away, without sdtiog, in this fine shape, unt^l you get enough to fill whatever sized tub or jar you wish to fill. Then I put it all in thu chum, and warm two or three paila of water to a tempera- tore of 62 " and pour it over the butter, churning it around a few times, letting it stand nntil the butter is to an even tem- perature all through, which dees nut take long. When in the granulated state, drain the water all off then add. sdt and sugar, twelve ounces of fine sdc and a tablespoon of granulated sugHr to every ten pounds of butter .; put the cover on and turn until well mixed through and gathered. Let it stand an hour or two until the salt is well dissolved then work just enough to get the brine out, as there will be no streaks to work out, and pack in tubs or jars for packing. I use a oommon potato-masher, wdl sodded and soaked. In making batter this way a jar or tub will ba all aUke from the bottom to top, and need not be overworked. I col- or my butter as long as they will keep good with the isoreless carrot, as it makes a nice color and a good fldtvor. In His Eye. One of those eccentric accidents which sometimes occur is narrated by the Phil- adelphia Press Twenty -six years ago Samuel G. Simpson, then employed in a jewelry factory, was cutting a piece of gold from a breastpin, when the piece flaw upward, cutting a deep slit in his eye. Although the accident was not painful, the eight of the irijured organ waa de- stroyed. The piece of gold was one-sixty- fourth of an inch thick and of an oval shape, its greatest diameter being abuut a quar'.er of an Inch. It could not be found at the time of the accident. A few weeks ago Mr. Simpson's eye be- gan to give him intense pain, and became greatly sw:olleh. For relief he applied to it a bread poultice, which was frequently renewed. When he removed the poultice recent- ly, he was astonished to find clinging to it the pieoe of gold which had cut his eye more uian a quarter of a century ago. No one had sapposed that the missing gold had imbedded itsdf in his eye, and tho discovery wasaa great a surprise to the patient as to hii friends. The sharp edge of the gold had cut its way downward, and came through tho skin jpst below the lower eydld. A Canine Foo^md* Prince is a very sagadons Newfoond- Isnd dog. He belongs to Mr. G.
