NATURAL AND UNNATURAL POSITION-TWO
HORSES OEE BEAUTIFUL FROM HEAD HELD IN
GRACEFUL POSITION, THE OTHER DISFIGURED
FROM ITS NECK BEING STRENGTHENED AND
ITS HEAD DRAWN INTO POSITION WHICH
1NFLICTS PAIN AND TORTURE.
There need be no objection to the
sidc-check on the score of beauty when it
does not hold the horses head unreasOna-
bly, high, particularly as, resting at the
side Of the head, it does not destroy the
curve of the arching neck. The over
check in al cases, however, detracts
from the horses beauty for three rea-
sons, the first being, even if loose, the
leather strap tlattens the name and in
lures its appearance; second, If tight, it
forms straight line from the saddle to
the top of the head, which is contrary
to the law of beauty; and third, it con-
verts the curve of the horses neck into
q straight line, and thus detracts from
the grace and beauty shown in the hand
some horse, which is allowed TO hold its
head naturally.
Every driver who fastons his horse 3
head into this painful position is unques-
tionably liable to the State law for cru
city to animals. The hope is, however,
that the Judgment and good taste OF
horsemen will cause them of their own
free will to cease this torture and
restore to the animal that grace and
beauty which is a distinctive feature OF
attraction in handsome horse. -1h0S.

"Belling" the Professors.

An illustration of the aptneSS OF the
average Yankee for managing men oc-
Cured many years ago at AndOver The
Olooical Seminary, when the venerable
DR.. Woods and DR.. Moses Stuart were
professors.
1t occurred to the students that the
nrayers of these distinguished teachers
At the seminary devotiOnS were longer
than was necessary, and how to remedy
the difficulty was a subject OF much
thought and conversation.
No one was willing ''to bell either
Of the old professors. At length com
mittee of the students was appointed TO
confer with them.
The committee divided itself into
halves. and at the same hour one part
went 10 DR.. Woods, told him of the
dclicacv which the students felt about
addressing Prof. Stuart on the matter
of his long prayers at the chapel, ana
implored the mediation OF Dr. WOODS
with the professor, to induce him TO
shorten his petitions.
The rest of the committee also con-
ferred with Prof Stuart to the same et-
feet with regard to the prayers OF Dr.
w OOuS. ilI(l lAA'
with the venerable professor of theolo-
cy to abbreviate his chapel Supphca-
| tiOns.
On the departure of the committees,
each professor instantly seized his hat
and cane and started for the house OF
his associate.
They met midway, near the old Man
sion House. Prof. Stuart, his eyes dan,
cling with fun, at once hailed the good
doctor with the startling information
that the students thought his prayers
were too long.
And immediately DR.. Woods gravelN
ouenched the sparkling light in the He
brew professors face by telling hin
that the students held the same views IL
regard to his petitions.
The two professors continued thel
walk and meditations. Both came Z
the conclusion that each Of the offend
ers had been taken in his own net, ant
subsequently the chapel prayers wer
shortened, or else entirely relegated K
the students. - YOUTHS Companion.

The Five Obedient Husbands.

There were five of them together, and
it was late. They had been drinking.
Finally, one of them looked at the clock,
and said:
"What will our wives say when we
come home?"
Let them say what they want to.
Mine will tell me to 90 to the mischief"
responded No. ?.
''rll tell you what we will do. Let
US meet here again in the morning, and
tell our experiences. Let the one who
has refused to do what his wife told him
to do when he got home pay for this
evenings entertainment"
That's a good idea. We will agree
to that" So the party broke up, and
went to their respective homes.
Next morning they met at the ap-
pointed place, and began to tell their
experiences.
Said No. |:
"When l opened the door my wits
was awake. She said: A pretty time
of night for YOU to be coming home.
You had better 90 out and sleep in the

than pay for all we had drank last night.

Next
No. , cleared his throat, and said:
"When | got home, stumbled on a

Next!
No. spoke up, and said:
Il happened to stumble over the pan

again, Hadn't you better sit down ir
that dough?' SO sat down in it, and
that lets me out. ="
Next!
No. said:

Hadn't YOU better give us concert?
| said, certainly and began to sing a.

Next!
No. 5 looked very disconsolate. II
said:
II reckon I'll have to pay. My wifi
told me to do something none of yo
would have done if you had been in m

"What was it?''
sShe said: So You thought yo
