IHE BEsT GAIT HORSE Has Is THE FAsT
WALk.-A slow walking horse Is an abo,ni-
nation. If you ride or drive him hf ex-
hausts your patience. If be is used to pillow
or harrow, or 90 on the road, he mOpes

halt the work of the rapid walker. II time
is money You make money because You save
time by having horse that walks fast.
Breeders should pay attention 10 this mat
ter. In selecting a stallion to breed from,
by all means select one that can walk fast.
slow walking stallion will be likely TO
get slow walking colts, while the stallion
that has a long, rapid. spirited stride will
be likely to beget colts with a similar ac-
tlOn. Then there Is great deal in breed
ing to horse with spirit and ambition.
These cold bloodei horses will beget cold
blOoded colts. The nearer you can ap-
proach the thoroughbred, even for obtain
ing fast walker, the better. There Is
game there. and spirit. and endurance, and
stamina, and style. There are the neat,
boDy heads, the prominent eyes, the small
ears, the capacious nOstrils, the large lungs
and chests, the well-developed muscle, the
bones as dense as ivory. Breed large, fine
mares to thoroughbred horses. and you will
get colts that y0u will not be ashamed to
have your friends see.-COimaH' Rural

Peabody's BenefaetIops

lHk DWELLINGS THAT HE BUILT FOR LoNpoN's
FooR-THE CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGE
AkNT OF THESE MODEL TENEMENT HOUSES
lEN COMPLETED AND OCCUPIED BY 10000
PERSONS.
FROM the London Daily News, January 2s.
1t Is little more than six years since George
feabody died. aud ALREADY 10 of the commo-
dious and substantial dwelling houses he be-
queathed to the workingmen of London have
risen IN the metropolis, all, save one, being
completed and occupied. The first, built in
opltalhelds, and completed during the life
time CT Mr.. Peabody, has since been followed
by the erection OF others in Blackfriars
road, Stamford street, Shadwell, Islington.
Ohe!sea, Bermondsey, Westminster, South
Wark and Pimlico. This last is still in
course OF building, and promises TO be the
largest OF all, for 1t stands on five acres of
ground, and affords a site for SO blocks, u
being lready far advanced on the way to
completion. In the aggregate the popula-
ton Of Peabody's bu ildings is probably not
le.s than lO,OOO persons, Being within 2i of
the population Of Tiverton, which returns
two members to parliament. What the
population Will be in the course of 20 wears
~ S'INu4a'Su ny an easy sum that
would probably be startling in its results.
As Is well known, the amount LETT by Mr.
Peabody, with the object of providing sim
proved dwellings for the poor of London" 4"
was hall million sterling. This is capi-
tai sum laid out in an investment returning
certain moderate but safe interest, which
interest, as it aecumulates, becomes available
for the building of dwellings and these
with themselves, in the magical manner pc
culiar to compound interest, add further
sums to the capital. and 50 on I'd infnitl1l.
The wise and benefcent action of Mr.. Pea
body has in fact planted in London good
~ seed which will increase and multiply
TIL, IN the course of time, its branches
shall spread out far enough to provide shade
and shelter for all who can prove their right
to dwell beneath it.
