the quality is reduced to No. 2, it is not

From tho Boston Herald.
The Legislative Committee on Ag.

for the community at large by its in.

of the Spitz dogs. The committee has
accumulated q mass of evidence from
every section Of the state. all going to

capable Of proof that the bite of q
Spite dog, even when the animal is in
health, is likely to produce the horrible
disease, hydrophobia, in both human
beings and animals. Mr.. Alley of Wen
ham testified that in March last his
little daughter was bitten through one
of her fingers by Spitz dog, the pet
of q nelghbor. The dog drank water
given it by the little girl i've minutes
before biting her, thus showing thatit
was not in q hydrophobic condition.
It was noticed, however, that the dogs
eyes were CLASSY, and it was very
restless, though this breed is remark
ably nervous. In ten days the wound
had healed, and the parents felt no
particular apprehension. But toward

"Rlde for Your Life"

In the sixteenth century there were
no pOst-of6ces in England. Govern.
ment carriers were the only bearers
Of letters, except the common carriers,
whose principal business was the con.
veyance of parcels. These couriers
were under martial law, and in the
time of Henry VIII. were subjected to
the penalty Of hanging for delay upon
the road with their dispatches. The
letters of those days were consequent
ly sometimes ornamented with a cheer
full sketch Of gallows with a courier
thereon suspended. Underneath was
the admonition ''Elaste Post Haste
Haste F.! for thy life!" Post.offices and
relays Of horses were then established
at the principal towns along the high
roads, and the postmaster Endorsed on
the Government dispatches the day an
hour Of their arrival in transit. A let.
ter dispatched from Plymouth to Lon.
don in 1923, "For His Majesty s special
SERVICE" bears nine ENDORSEMENTS. The
distance, two hundred aud fourteen
miles by the route aiken, was accom-
plished in fifty.seven.hours-a rate of
about three miles and quarter per
hour. On part of the route the speed
was greater, though six miles was the
highest speed made, and on the heavy
portion Of the road the rate was two
miles, and even less. From the pen.
atty attached to slow riding or hating
came the proyerbial saying of ''ride
for your life, +" which saying is usually
supposed to refer to flying from an
enemy. From the taking of private
letters by the bearers of Government
dispatches arose the wonderful con.
veniences Of the modern postal ar.
rangements. It was from this cir
cumstance that the transmission of
the mails have come to be portion
Of the duties Of Governments. The

II Acknowledge the Corn"

This popular phrase, it seems, was
first used IN Congress, being a remark
made by Hon. Charles A. Wickliffe,
member of Congress from Kentucky.
1t was in acknowledgment of the de-.
auctions Of an argument for protection
made by Hon. Andrew Stewart, just
elected to Congress from the West
moreland District-Twenty. First-Of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Stewart was in
Congress when Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster were there, and advocated
protection. Herecently made speech
in which he referred to the fact. At
the same time he related an incident
which gives the origin of the we'll
known phrase, 81 acknowledge the
corn" as follows:
In 1S28-forty.two years ago-this
subject of protection was before Con.
gress, and we were discussing it. I was
trying to show the farmers of the
country that they were purchasing
foreign agricultural productions in the
form of goods, while they left their
produce at home without market.
said Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky sent
their haystacks, cOrn6elds, and fodder
to New York and Philadelphia for
sale.
Mr.. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, jumped
up and said:
"Why, that is abuse. Mr.. Speaker
l call the gentleman to order. He is
stating an absurdity, We never send
haystacks or cornfelds to New York
or Philadelphia"
"Wel," said, "what do you send!''
"Why, horses, cattle, mules, and
hogs
"Well, what makes your horses,
mules, cattle, and hogsl You feed a
hundred dollars worth of hay to a
horse. you must animate and get upon
the top of your haystack and ride Of
to market. Laughter.) How is 1t
with your cattle! You make one OF
them carry fifty dollars worth of hay
or grass to the Eastern market
Then l came to the hog question.
''Alr. Wickliffe, you send hog
worth ten dollars to an Eastern market
how much corn does it take, at thirty.
five cents per bushel, to fatten it,
'::Why, thirty bushels
''Then put that thirty bushels OF
corn into the shape of a hog, and make
it walk off to the Eastern Market
Mr.. Wickliffe jumped up and said:
mir. Speaker, l acknowledge the
cOrn.''
