CRIBBING HORSES. Dr. Cook, of Elmira,
Ohio, writes to the Scientific American =
"Cribbing is caused in the first place by
some foreign substances being pressed be-
tween the teeth, OF by the front teeth
growing too close together, thus causing
pain. The horse, to avoid this, instinct
lively pulls at any hard substance. thus
spreading the points of the teeth, and by
that means atfording temporary relief. To
remedy this fault, it is only necessary to
saw between the teeth with very thin
saw, this relieves the teeth of all side
pressure, and effectually ends the trouble.
The gulping of wind and the gurgling in
the throat are effects that will cease with
the removal of the cause.o

! PULL DOWN YOUR VEST
An Incident of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton

The indianapolis Journal says: But the
funniest incident of the whole session was
when Richard H. Dana was addressing the
convention, the joke being at his expense.
He is fat, fluffy sort of man, with gem
eral disposition on the part of his body to
ill his clothes quite full and run over lit
tie. He was seeonding the nomination Of
Brlstow, and assuring the convention that
no other man could carry Massachusetts,,
etc. His remarks were not well received,
his manner was offensive, and the oonven-
tion made no concealmento of its inpatience.
Finally, at the close Of one Of Mr.. Dana's
sentences, when he paused q moment to
gather breath and inspiration, some one in
the gallery shouted, "pull down your vest. y
The idea Of saying such thing to q blue
blooded gentleman from Massachusetts was
vast s,o,.os ;.salf. lut the fact that his
initely to the haihh6fs hahh65ff Ct e sso
hit was at once so audacious and so palpa-
BILE that the convention fairly shouted, and
the digniied gentleman frorn Massachu-
setts was himself yisibly embarrassed. He
probably goes home more fully convinced
than ever that Western civilization is a
failure, and that the true, the beautiful, and
the good find their only safe abiding place
in Massachusetts.

Watching the Rosebnsh.

g. The Detroit Free Press says Over the
ruins of a house, which was half burned,
on dreary, unpaved street in the eastern
part of the city, a rosebush is slowly climb
ing. 1t is SO small yet that the passer who
glances at the blaekened beams and rafters
would not notice it, but for months 1t had
no one to cut away the rank grass, give it
water and help it in it's struggles to hide
the sad work of fire. One day little lame
girl discovered the stunted bush and her
eyes filed with joy. A father buried be-
yond the sea--a mother in Elmwood-she
lived In cottage near the rosebush with
queer old couple, whose hearts felt kindly
toward the orphan, but who saw nothing
in the rosebush beyond what they might
have seen in weed. Tt was early spring
when the child found the bush, and she
carried it rich earth, lifted the poor twigs
with tender hands and talked to it as if it
were playmate. Rough boys soon dis.
covered why she visited the ruins, and at
first they were mind to pull up the bush
to sea her weep over their work. They
remembered that she was lame, and they
went in and helped her move the blackened
timbers. Day by day the lame girl watched
the bush. When the wind moaned loudly
she trembled for fear it would iniure the
bush, and when the raindrops fell she
hoped they would not strike the leaves too
harshly. No watcher was ever more yigi-
liant, faithful and patient. She told no one
her plans. One morning a week age she
found o bud. Every day. for days and
days, she had peered among the leaves to
see If bud was forming-each day she
had hean disappointed, and less brave
and hopeful heart would have despaired.
She smiled with JOY when she found the
bud, and she nestled In the grass beside
the bush and watched IL. The bud grew
and svelled. and BY and by it opened bit

Dom Pedro's Fathers Visit to the Uni
I ted states-A staving Trip.

Appropos Of Dom Pedro's visit to this
country, an interesting story is told. 1t
win be remembered that in 1929 the Bra

ed their independence, and conferred the
imperial crown ON Dom Pedro, the son of
John vi. of Portugal, then regent during
his fathers absence. This was the father
Of the present Dom Pedro. He ruled till
1881, when forced to 1T BY growing dissatis-
faction, which eliminated in short but
violent revolution, he abdicated in favor of
his SON. Popular feeling against him was
very bitter, and his personal safety was
threatened so that he was forced to conceal
himself. 4@-#t
1t was at this juncture that stonington
vessel put into Rio Janeiro with cargo
consigned to the British consul at that
place. Her master was Captain Thomas
Dunbar, Of Stonington, an old sailor, with
the courage Of a lion and the. heart of a
child. He lay in port some days discharg-
ing and receiving cargo, and was at length
ready to sail. The night before his depar-
ture the British consul sent for him to
come to the consulate, and after long
preliminary conversation, told him that
the emperor was in hiding in his house,
and asked Capt. Dunbar to aid in his es-
cape. This the latter at once consented to
do. The question then arose how should
it be effected. The wharves and water
fronts were lined with police and soldiers,
watching for the royal fugitive, and escape
seemed almost impossible. 4 plan was
finally agreed upon, and in the end proved
successful u sga5 f az -s5 =h..-.s,,
The ship which lay at one OF the whartes
was got ready for sea the next morning
and was on the point of getting under way
when the captain suddenly recolIeeted that
he had forgotten to take his ship-bread
aboard. A messenger was accordingly
despatched, and in some way it was pro-
cured at the consulate. A wagon load of
biscuit in barrels was sent down and rolled
across the wharf and into the vessels hold.
In one OF them was Pedro I. The ship got
under way, and when safe from pursuit,
the oask was opened and he was liberated,
nearly exhausted by his position. The
ship came to stonington, where the empe-
ror was landed unrecognized, and whence
he left for Europe. He made Capt. Dunbar
a present Of sa00 for his services, which
at the time was considered munifcent
reward. Capt. Dunbar frequently related
the story in later years, and iii an exceed
ingly graphic manner. He lived 10 be
over eighty and died few years ago at

Clothes for the Heathen.

About a year ago the ladies of certain
Dorcas society made up large quantity Of
shirts, trousers and socks, ana boxed them
up and sent them to q missionary station on
the west coast of Africa. A man named
Ridley went out with the boxes, and stayed
in Africa several months. When he re-
turned the Dorcas society of course was
anxious to hear how its donations were re-
ceived, and Ridley, one evening, met the
members and told them about it in a little
speech. He said:
"Well, you know, we got the clothes out
there all right, and after q while we distrib-
uted them among some of the natives in
the neighborhood. We thought may be it
would attract some of them to the mission,
but it didn't, and after some time had
elapsed and not native came to church
with those clothes On, went out ON an ex-
ploring expedition to find out about it. 1t
seems that on the first day after the goods
were distributed one of the chiefs attempt
ed to mount q shirt. He didn't exactly

through the arms and gathered the tail up
around his waist. He couldn't make it
stay up, however, and they say he went
around inquiring in his native tongue what
kind Of an idiot it was that constructed
garment that wouldn't hang on, and swear
ing some of the most awful heathen oaths.
At last he let 1t drag, and that night he got
his legs tangled in it somehow, and fell
over precipice and WAS killed. -. d..
"Another chief who got one on properly
went padding around in the dark, and the
people, imagining he was a ghost, sacrific-
ed four babies to keep off the evil spirit, as
they thought.
"And then, you know, those trousers
you sent outs Well, they fitted one pair
on an idiot, and then they stuffed most of
the rest with leaves and set them up as a

were very impressive. Some of the women
split few pairs in halves, and after sewing
up the legs used them to carry yams in.and

popular. All the fighting men went for
them the first thing. They filed them
with sand ane used them as boomerangs and
war clubs. learned that they were SO
much pleased with the efficiency of these
socks that they made raid on neighbor-
ing tribe on purpose to try them, and they
say they knocked about eighty women and
children on the head before they came
home. They asked me if wouldn't speak
to you and get you to send out few bar
rels more, and to make them little stron
ger SOS they'd last longer, and I said I
would. E-t
"This society is doing power Of good
to those heather, and I've no doubt, if you
keep right along with the work, you win
inaugurate general war all over the CONT
nent of Africa, and give everybody an idol
of his own. All they want is enough socks
and trousers. Pil take them when goout
again." -..r -.....,.-...
Then the Dorcas passed resolution de-
claring that IL would, perhaps, be better to
let the heathen go naked, and give the
clothes to the poer at home. Maybe that
is the better way.-Philadelphsa Balletan.
