used to run in a valuable lot through the
gates Of Paris, under the very feet ana
ewes of the officials, on the back of llttle
dog. who had another coat neatly ntteo
all over his back, which he wore with q.
much grace as his own hsir,, ,acket. The
lace was wo, ..na smoothly and evenly

under the very hoofs Of the horses as .

last suspected, and the wary dog, ra,h tl
than suffer himself to be caught, took 70
tbe water and was shot. He had a costly
winding sheet of lace about him wneh h9 I
came to be examined. Such taltnlui
dog ought to have had a better master.

WHY children should Eat Honey.

Thousand and tens of thousands Of
children are dying all around us, who
because their cver-developing nature de-
mands sweetness, crave and eagerly de
molish the adulterated 'candies" and
"syrup" of modern times. If these could
be fed on honey instead they would
develop and grow up into healthy men
and women.
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 advan-
Iage of being far more healthy and pleas
ant tasted, and always remains good,
while butter becomes rancid and often
produces cramp in the stomach, eructa.
lions, sourness, vomiting and diarrhGa.
Pure honey should always be freely
used in every family. Honey eaten upon
wheat bread is very beneficial to health.
The use of honey Instead of sugar in
almost every kind of cooking is as pleas
ant for the palate as it is healthy for the
stomach. In preparing blackberry, rasp-
berry or strawberry shortcake it is inf
nitely superior.
1t is common expression that honey is
a luxury, having nothing to do with the
life giving principle. This is an error
honey is food in one of its most-s,rssA
trated forms. Tiffe, 10 does n0t ADD 8
much to the growth of muscles as doe
beefsteak, but it does impart other prop
critics no less necessary to health and Wig
orous physical and intellectual action 1
gives warmth to the system, arouses nerv
Gus energy and gives vigor to all tn
vital functions. To the laborer it give
strength-to the business man menta
force. Its effects are not like ordinar,
stimulants, such as spirits, etc, but pro
duce a healthy action, the results o
which are pleasing and permanent
sweet disposition and bright intellect.

little Attentions Required by the Horse

The horse is required to show life and
willingness to travel when out of the
stall, hence there are certain attentions
required in the feeding that his body
may be supplied and his spirits lively
The horse fed freely on corn will not be
in fit condition for active driving. In
popular language, corn is said to be heat
ing, and it has tendency to produce
Indigestion. As the horse with confined
bowels is necessarily spiritless, the stable
should be at all times provided with
bran and oil cake, that by malicious use
of these the bowels may be kept in Just
the proper state-not loose for this is de
bihtating. If the horse is expected to go
fast for a short distance, to pull a heavy
load, or make a days drive with comfort
and safety to himself, no large amount of
hay should be given. The same rule of
keeping down the size of the abdomen
always practiced with speed horses
should be the rule for service of any
kind, whether the animal be kept for
light driving, or equally if he weigh a
ton and works upon a four ton truck.

The Young Ostrich.

He is covered with speckled brown
downy feathers except on the head and
neck and legs; he is as wild, shy and
active as the young antelope fawn, and
only day old, is as large as full-grown
Leghorn hen. Uneasy and restless, in
constant motion and with inquiring eyes,
he no doubt waits impatiently the com
panions who are to join him in his feath-
reproducing career
Preparatory to any nourishing food, he
had placed before him when about TWEEN
ty-four hours old tray of small gravel
stones and crushed sea shells subsequent
to this tonic he had a handful of chopped
alfalfa. This lays the foundation for a
meal of cracked corn and water, and
when this has been eaten the bird is
considered on the straight road to dis
tinction as the first ostrich hatched in
America.

Ginger Jars.

The ginger used in preserving and
crystalizing in the big London establish
ments all come from China. An amusing
story regarding the familiar blue and
white stone jars is told. The Chinese
made very large jar. After some years
they were prevailed upon to make a
second size for the reception of ginger.
In time a third size smaller was requested,
but here the stubborn Cclestials rebellcd.
Their conservative character regarded
any more innovations as sacrilege.
And, so, said the superintendent, 1--WE
had to have small jars made in the Eng
fish potterics to hold our Chinese ginger
So the ginger is genuine Chinese, but the
jars are not. y
