1t may be some trouble but it is
quite a good plan to water horses in
the morning before feeding them.
Farm horses generally are compell-
ed TO take their breakfast first and
wait for a drink until they are har-
messed for the field. The impor-
tance Of watering horses at the pro-
er time is seldom realized, and often
overiooked.

Swiss Recruits Fog France
L0nR0n DriI,L NAara.


Our Geneva correspondent states that
a strong feeling of Indignation has been
created in Switzerland by the action of
the French Government in establishing
recruiting stations near the frontier. 1t
happens that at the present time there is
a great deal OF distress, in switzerland.
and great numbers of Young men are
without employment. Possibly the French
Government was not unmindtul of this
at the time they decided on approaching
the frontier i'll searth of recruits. 1t is
difficult to ascertain the exact number of
Swiss subjects who have joined the ''For-
eign LEGION" but there is reason to be-
lieve it is by no means incOnsiderable.
The Marseilles correspondent of a St.
Gallen paper, writing to his journal last
week, says: II saw little while ago in
the harbOr here the shipping OF some
recruits. If the company had been des-
tined for New CALEDONIA they could
not have had a more deplOrable appear
ance. In ragged clothes stood fellows
with true gallOws faces. These Wretches,
being Outcasts from all society, and use
less for any honest work, had. as a last
resource, enlisted. Among this rabble
were about eight Of the poor mistaken
people from Switzerland. They were con-
spicuOus among the rest by their strong
figures, their general appearance that be-
got confidence, and their good dress.
gathered from the confused answers they
gave to my questions that, being unem-
plOyed, they had been tempted to enlist,
and had signed contract for five years.
service. From Belfort or BesancOn they
were taken to Marseilles, where they
were confined in the Fort st. Nicolas for a
week, during which time they were
wretchedly fed, and their pay was l sou a
day. When taken on board they were
lodged in the lowest hold Of the ship. Just
as the vessel was-about to sail twelve more
Swiss recruits, chained together in pairs
like felOns, we've marched on board. A
little later | witnessed the departure of
another troupe, among whom were u
young men from the SWISS town of Bel.
Most Of them had already been in military
service in their own country. One of
them informed me that he had been pro-
NOTED to the position of Training CoTpo-
raj. The equiDping and drilling Of these
men in Switzerland cost the country 300f.
head, and now, as ready-made soldiers,
France has got their services for 1 sou a
day.
The Swiss, press, commenting on the
above, asks if nothing can be done to stop
this drain Of the youth and strength of the
country. 1t is clear, however, from a
circular that the government has just
sent to the cant0ns, that if young men
choose to enlist ia a moment of thought
lessnass, and without even the hope of
honor and glory TO tempt them, they will
have to abide by the consequences.

NOVELTIES IN NOTE PAPER.
Artistic Vanities Used by Persons Who
Esteem Manner Rather Than Matter.

Artistic Vanities Used by Persons Who
Esteem Manner Rather Than Matter.
The ragged edge" has a large sale,
though no longer new, says the New York
NelgS. The edges are jagged and torn,
instead of being Gus evenly. 1t is in imi-
tation of the handmade papers of fifty or
a hundred years ago, whose edges were
always thin and uneven. 1t is an Eng
lish novelty, and the first that came had a
watermark of a Roman soldiers head and
below the letters 'B. G. o." This brings
from 60 to 80 cents a box, according to
the quality Of the paper.
The Photographic is an eXaggeraUion of
the same idea. The cover of the box saws
that the paper was found in POmpeii and
it certainly looks so. The edges are
blackened, charred and torn, and the sur
face OF the paper time-stained and rusty
An unsOphisticated buyer might call it
dirty, but it is not; it is only artistic"
Twenty-four sheets and envelopes of this
only cost 81. The inside of the envelopes
is clean, but the outside has enough spots
and dirt to bring the price up to twice
that sum. There is a dull red paper with
silver and gold dots sprinkled over it, and
another with stars. They are a hideOus,
reduced copy of the paper which covers
the walls Of some chancels in country
churches. The Hammered silver paper
has water-marks, IN imitation of the lines
in hammered silver work. 1t is a thin and
rather pretty paper.
The morocco, alligator and calf papers
are embossed to initiate the surface Of
those feathers. One lady called them
pen career over their surface. They are
only interesting as novelties.

sUNINER AND PHILLIPS.
They Missed Their Careers.

Wendell Phillips, says the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Record,
once said to a friend Of mine that it was
strange that Charles Sumner should have
had his. career, while he should have had
Summers, When they were young men
each planned life which the other after
ward lived. 1t was Phillips purpose to
be politician, to be active in politics,
rising from point to point, until he shoald
command the applause Of listening Sen
ates. He knew his splendid powers and
how admirably they fitted him for distinc-
ton in politics, and his ambition pointed
him to Its highest honors. Sumner, on the
other hand, planned quiet life devoted
to literature. He would read, be would
write, he would lecture, far from the ig.
noble strife of the politicians. "Now,''
said Phillips, lit was not long before ]
would have been defeated for any office ]
wanted, no matter how humble; so that !
was shut out Of politics and shut up tC
literature, while Sumner went from
strength to strength rejoicing in the very
sphere which he had lespised."
