THE LATE MRS. ANDREwS.-MrS. Elizabeth
Al drews, the venerable mother of Mrs Sara
Andrews Spencer. whose funeral services were
held at the residence OF her daughter yester-
east and west. President Garfield sent to the
funeral q magnificent wreath OF the choicest
flowers from the White House conservatory
and wrote to Nj. and Mrs. Spencer:
"Dedr FRIENDSHIP the midst OF my great
az Xlety for the dear life which Is the light Of
our home, send you this word of sympathy
lof The loss that death has brought 20 you.
j. A. g."
Mrs. Andrews was woman Of tremendous
o. ain power, and being left early widow Ia
western New York, with family of six chlI-
dren. she conquered obstacles that would have
MADE the St0UteSJ heart to quail and gave
every one OF her children superior education
ana every social advantage. For more than
half o century, as a conviction born OF ner
sudggl,s In life, she was profound believer
Ia the right OF woman to voice In the laws
that govern her, and when she heard In her st.
Louis home that her daughter. Mrs. Spencer,
was working ZealOusy for that cause she said
''She Is doing what / longed to do when she
was a Child In my arms " She removed from
Sayona, n. T., to st. Louis In 1851 with her
two youngest children, travelling upon the first
Erie road. She was pioneer member of the
Methodist Episcopal church In Yates and Steu-
ben counties, New York. and the Oldest living
menb Der OF the First Methodist church Of ST.
Louis. She came to Washington to die and to
tesbured at GlenWOod, where her daughter
at her request, had ten years ago selected her
resting place. She attended the Inauguration
OF General GARFIELD, to whom she was much
attached for many years, and never left her
room again. Her husband DR.. Ora Andrews
was soldier In the war Of 1912, and q sk!iifui

In discussion upon this point to which we

had "often noticed that when his wife fed his
hired men on green corn at the table, one man
would often eat four or five ears, while one of
these same ears if ripened, ground into meal
and made into bread would feed four or five

All agree, says writer IN TIE agricultural
Gazette it Is action in the horse that sells.
THIS is obtained when we have the cOmp!e-
mental power In the muscles, the greatest lev
erage from the bones and quality in the tend.
ons: health in the ligaments and ruth in the
disposition of the limbs. We adjudicate on
the horses headquarters as u whole. All
horses with any pretensions to quality or fam.
lily possess length and stralgblness from the
hips TO the tail. This IS especially graceful
and horizontal in the thoroughbred.
i. Length from hip to hook is tie criterion
both of speed and power; all horses of value
are swell let down" IN their quarters ahordng
increase of length and voluale in the muscles,
power and speed accrulng. The haunchbone
and the thighbone-lhe first strong and long,
the second strong, Of average length; this nat.
urally varies with breed, but in oil classes it
IS most important that the thigh "be we'll let
down into the hook" muscular development
here cannot be too immense" Good gasklns
afford material help for getting through the
dirt.
2. At the articulation of the haunch and
thighbone we find the stitle IN satH A good
one, without exception, is high up, abulting
the flank. This is the concentration OF power
in all classes; it is certain sign that the
haunchbone is well sloped forward, and that
the thighbone is well carried back.
3. The hook we have previously determined
on, but as IN the forelegs, counsel young be-
ginners to AVOID weak, illdetned knees; so
here, have as little to do with horses whose
os calcis, or point of the hook, is ildetined.
Remember pr fl and gum is weakness. Secure
hooks that are well defined. The os calcis
contributes leverage; it is evidence both of
power and speed.
The hind cannons or metatarsal.bones must
individually be straight, with such a s0upcon
of inclination forward. They should be flat
and short; breadth under the hook here is
strength, the sign of quality. Feel tendons
