anything"
THAT is not true. Iuse the whip
very little, and principally to liven the
horses and make them quicker. The
first thing to te done is to gain the
horses confidence. The horse must
know that you mean to treat him right,
and that you do. He knows what is
right with very little instruction. He
understands, too, how far punishment
is deserved, and when it is overdone.
Some people treat a horse as if it were
his nature to be ugly. Now the horse
is very rarely ugly by nature. and when
he balks, kicks or runs away he does II
in the belief that he is defending him.

get the horse to understand what you
want him to do. Sometimes he may dc
what is desired, but it may be simply
by chance, and the next time the horse
is asked to do the same thing and fails

Graham Flour.

The high proporti on of proteine mat
ter found by chemical analysis to exist
in wheat bran, and the quantity sup
posed to be thus removed from the flour
in the process of manufacture. has led
many intelligent and well-intentioned
people, and induced many physicians OF
high standing, to advocate the use of
whole meal-that is flour made from
the whole grain and unbolted-in bread
making. instead of the white bolted
flour ordinarily maize employed. 1t is
believed that with the removal of the
bran and other matters in the process
of grinding and boiling, causing q sep
aration of from thirty to sometimes as
high rs seventy per cent, of the weight
of the grain used, large proportion at
the most nutritious part of the cereal is
rejected. while if the whole product is
saved in the flour the value OF the latter
for human consumption will be CORE
spondingly increased. But that this
belief is wholly erroneous has been
lately proven by DIR. Max Rubner, who
has made some careful digestion exper-
iments to determine the amount OF ma
terial used up in the animal economy,

bread consumed. respectively. He ex-
amined the residues from ordinary
flours and those from the flour or wheat
meal of the Bread Reform League, and
rs result of his examinations he ar
rives at the conclusion that the larger the
proportion of bran left in the flour the
greater will be the amount of nutritious
matter unassimilated and excreted.
While he considers it quite possible
that the digestibility of the bran might
be increased BY finer grinding, he
doubts the ACCESSIBILITY of such pro-
cedure, or its economy, from the fact
that it may be more profitab!y fed to
the lower animals. which digest It SO
much more readily. The higher palat-
ability of bread from the best bOlted or
purified -four renders it at all times
more desirable. and the facts determined
by DIR. Rubner must therefore be hailed

Julie attended the public school a.
regularly as her duties st home would
allow, and, unlike most little girls OF
her age, when she came home she dia
not care to run out in the street and
play at 'tag" or ..hide- and-seek, but
instead staid at home and relieved her
mother of the care Of her younger
brothers and sisters. and acted the part
of small housewife.
The other evening, about half past
nine, little Julie sat in a room on one OF
the lower floors patiently waiting Tor
her mother to come in that she might

baby sister to sleep in the back room,
and as Julie sat waiting SO quietly. her
half-closed eyes and frequent yawns
told only too well that the ''dustman"
was on his rounds.
Suddenly, as she sat there. Some
bright sparks fell from the ceiling and
smouldered on the floor. Almost ut the
same instant a number of the tenants
who lived upstairs ran wildly through
the hall and past the door, screaming:
Fire! fire." at the top of their voices.
In another moment the flames appeared
in the very room in which little Julia
sat. She heard the cries OF fire
and the people rushing madly
into the street. But there was
no one to to tell her what to do, or even
to think of her, in that moment OF ex-

She did not stop even then. but ran
