About eight miles from Kingston, Ont,
and four hundred yards from the River 81.
Lawrence, rises lofty granite ridge. On
.he firm of Daniel Mclean, in this ridge,
are three wells carved out Of the solid rock,
which have defed the suprositons of the
observation-disclosures rs to their intended use.
These cylinders, only four feet deep and q
foot OF more in diameter, are hewn out of
solid rock which the keenest tempered tools
of modern times would scarcely chip, and
from top to bottom they are as smooth ard
regular as the finest polished Scotch granite.
They always contain q copious supply Of
pure water, which must be supplied BY rains,
as no surface water can penetrate them.
The popular iica is that therein former
sayagcs pounded their corn but the diam
ct.r OF the holes and their disproportionate
depth render that an improbable idea.

Saddle Horses.

The most desirable points in sadd'
horses are what are known as saddle gaits,
the most useful, and, therefore, the most
important of which is the walk.
The gaits, although common to all
horses, are what are known as saddle gaits,
in the most important of which there is as
wide a range of excellence as at the faster
gaits of trotting and running. The average
rate of speed at which horses walk i'll haT-
ness or under the saddle is probably no
more than three miles an hour, while Il
really good v-lker can cover five, and in
rare cases six miles under the saddle
Being the easiest gait on both horse and
rider. such horses will made wonderful
journeys without distress. What is known
rs the fox trot is also a very desirable gait,
and is easily taught to most HOSES by
urging them slightly beyond 4 walk, and
rhen they strike the right gait hold them
to il: it is 4 trife faster than the walk, and
a near app5cach to The single foot.
Nearly ali saddle ho-ses viii take few
steps to this gait when changing from a
walk to a tot BIT i7ill rot keep it unless
trained toit. The speed differs from four
to seven or eight miles per hour. Horses
will lean 20 like the gait, and it is an easy
one for the 1ider and next to the walk the
best long-distancc gait Single footing Is
nearly the same as the fox trot, and is an
exact intermediate between the walk and
the trot, each foot appearing to move in q
SOFT Of ro-as youplease manner, and con-
sidering that it is an exceptionally easy
gait for the rider, and that an average sin
gle footer will cover nine or ten miles per
hour. it is worthy Of cultivation. The rack
and pace are nearly alike, the only differ
cnce being that in the former the hind foot
reaches the ground a trife in Advance Of
the fore foot on the same side, while at the
latter gait the feet on each side move exactly
together purely lateral motion. Eithe-
the rack or the pace is much more desirable
than the trot under the saddle, and the
pace is at least as fast if not faster, gait
than the trot. In addition to possessing all
Of the above saddle gaits the model saddle
horse should be leyel-headed, courageous
and kind, and should be active, an easy
mover at any gait, have q sensitive mouth,
respond readily to the touch on the bride
reign, be sure footed, able and willing to
tr-t, gall9p Or run, as required, and, above
all, sound upon his legs and perfect in the
wind.

general Crook,s Career.

Gath" ina letter to the Chicago Tribune,
gives the following brief history of Gen.
Crook, the Indian fighter, whose incursion
into Mexico in pursuit of the Apachcs has
been so successful: George Crook entered
West Point in 1913, 50 that be is ! judge
about 81 years old Io was put out in
California rs soon as he graduated, and
served at once against the Indians whom he
has now known for thirty years. lie was
wounded with an arrow twenty five years
ago. The rebellion called him away for
eight years of Indian encounters 10 the
contest Of civilized forces, and bee began IN
West Virginia, was wounded there, was pro-
NOTED for gallant services at Antietam, tle1
served in the western armies at the head OF
division Of cavalry, was at Chickamauga,
broke up the yuerillas, went on several raids,
served under sheridan, and was taken pris-
oner by his subsequent brothef-in-law mos;
inhospitably at Cumberland, but.yery soon
released. lie was in all Sheridans great
battles. commanded all the calvary Of the
army Of the Potomac ror awhile, aud was in
the big pursuit to Appomattox. At the
close of the war he was a lieutenant colo
mel. and from that time to this has been the
eagle of Indian fighters. When saw him
last he was a long, lean man, loosely put to-
gethcI, with a rather shy, strange face as if
he had partly turned into an Indian. He
is an Ohio boy. Anything wild seems
tame 70 Crook. He wants no friends, and
can do with very little family. During
the war he became much interested in
Mary Daley, a young lady Of good family
living in Western Maryland, but from Nir-
ginia people living about Moorcfeld. Her
people svnpa.h;zed with tie south, and she
had brother a member Of McNcil's semi
guerrilla band. This young scapcgrace,
finding that Gen Crook and Gen Kelly
stopped at his fathers hotel in Cumberland
the former paying attention to his sister
slipped into that hotel and captured the
two generals in the midst Of their troops,
forced them out Of Of their lines at the point
Of the pistol, and took 'hcm 70 Richmond.
Crook was soon released, probably through
the intercession of his captor. lie afteF-
ward married Miss DALEY, and she Las
been with him in good many strange
places in the west. His young captoF after
ward became a sutler at his camp, not
wholly to Crooks liking, for he was very
sensitive about connecting lis reputation
with commercial schemes.

EatIEoney.

In the last number of the American Be-
Journal the editor closes an article or
Bees and Honey in Ancient Times with
the following regarding honey for food and
health
Thousands and tens of thousands Of
children are dying all around US, who.
because their ever-developing nature de-
mands sweetness, crave and eagerly de-
molish the aduterated candies and
'sirups' of modern times. If these could
be fed on honey, instead, they would de
yelopan grow up into healthy men ana
WON =.
"Children would rather eat bread and
honey than bread and butter; one pound Of
honey will reach as far as two pounds Of
butter, and has, besides, the advantage that
it is far more healthy and pleasant-tasted,
and always remains good, while butter
soon becomes rancid, and often produces
cramp in the stomach, eructations, sour
ness, vomiting and diarrhpa. Pure honey
should always be freely used in every
family. Honey eaten upon wheat bread Is
beneficial to health.
"The use of honey instead of sugar for
almost every kind Of cooking is as pleasant
for the palate as it is healthy for the stomach.
In preparing blackbcrry raspberry, or straw
berry short-cakc it is infinitely superior.
at ia a common expression that honey
is luxury, having nothing to DO
with ,he life-giying principle, This IS an
error-honey is food in one of its most con-
centrated forms. True, it does not add so
much to the growth Of muscle as does beef
steak, but it does impart other properties,
no less necesssry to health and vigorous
physical and intellectual action 1t gives
warmth to the system, arouscs nervous
energy, and gives yigor to all the vital
functions. To the laborer, it gives strength
to the business man, mental force. Its
effects are not ike ordinary stimulants
such as spirits, etc, but it PRODUCES healthy
action. the results of which are pleasing
and permanent--a sweet disposition and
bright intellect"

A MoNGEL FABLE.-Two geese, when
about to start southwark on their annual
autumn migration, were entreated by frog
to take him with them. On the geese ex-
pressing their willingness to DO SC if a
means Of conveyance could be devised the
frog produced stalk Of strong grass, got
the two geese to take it one by each end,
while he clung 10 it by his mouth in the
middle. In this manner the three were
making their journey successfully when
they were noticed from below by some men,
who loudly expressed their admiration Of
the device and wondered who had been
clever enough TO discover it. The vain
glorious frog, opening his mouth to say " IL
was !, =" lost his hold, fell to the earth and
was dashed to pieces. Moral-Don't let
pride induce you to speak when safety re-
qlires you to be sileut.

What Causes the Timber line.

The cause ofwhat is known as the timber
line on high mountains. continues to be dis
cussed in scientific periodicals, and the
attempt continued to connect the line in
some degree with mean annual temperatures.
The writer Of this paragraph has had the
matter in mind when on these high eleva-
tions, and the erplanation seemed very
simple. On all these high peaks there is u
continuous, though in some cases slow,
descent of the soil from the summit to the
blse of the hill. He has never seen case
where there was soil enough to grow Il
tree that trees were not growing. As the
wash from rain or melting snow will be
nearly uniform in given range, there will
be of necessity some uniformity in the tim
Der line On Mount Washington and other
high places little plots of dark vegetable
earth can often be found above the present
timber line-thc remains of trees which ex-
isted before the earth was washed away.
What is called the timber line seldom shows
graduated sizes, as a mere matter oftempcr-
ature would call for. Generally the lire is
formed Of very tall trees, and Immediately
scrubby plants, from the absence Of deep
soil, begin.

TIE WICKED LITTLE SPAREOT.-This
Journal has distinctly demonstrated in 5ey-
eral editorial papers during the past two OF
three years where the sparrow stands in
in ornithological classification, and that
his place Is not, and never has been, among
insect-feeding birds. lie is = finch, and
therefore essentially a grain-feeding bird.
NJ. Jonesby says he believes q sparrow
would eat an insect provided you could con
vince him that some other bird wanted it;
and, in confirmation Of this assertion, he
SAYS he ence saw blue-bird about to ap-
propriate a worm, but he was driven of by
two sparrows, who greedily and heedlessly
siezed short string instead Of the worm,
and, after stubborn conflict, one Of them
secured it and Immediately swallowed il,
the worm in the meantime making i'T cit
into the ground. -Lorcosfr Frrr1
