W oman's Weight.

When bulky woman is seen in the
street with an exterior Of irregular
folds and drapcries, the observer can't
tell how much of it is human and how
much garniture. 1t might be slender

lation of heavy covering 1t is now,
more than at any other season of the
year, possible to graduate ones out

Horse Breeding in America.

Fifteen millions of Horses are now owned in
America, and more than million year must
be bred to keep up the supply. The largest
portion OF these are used for agricultural
and heavy draft purposes, and such horses
bring from $175 to $3.50 each. 1t would be
impossible to breed them if it we're not for the
importation Of Percheron horses. Five hundred
stations are now annually imported from
France to the United States. The immense
wealth they are adding to the nation will be
better understood when it is known that the
first cross of q Percheron stallion with a
native mare doubles the selling value of
the colt when mature. Large numbers
OF Percheron stations are exported from the
United States by Canadian breeders to renew
the old French blood so highly priced, and also
TO give quality style and action 10 the large
English DRIFT and CydeSdale stock which has
been bred there so long. Nearly one hundred
Percheron stations have been sold to Canada
during the past two years by M. W. Durham,

THE NEW YEAR.
BY ]. G. F.

Above the night the silence reigns unbroken,
For life and death are once more merged in
one.
BY us, the Watchers not a word is spoken,
Until at last we catch the chimes clear tone.
And then we turn with greeting words and
laughter,
The King is dead. "Long live the King" we
say,
May all the hours of this year coming after
Strew flowers or love and hope in life's rough
way.
We say and wish these things, yet all our glad
ness
Will not abate one pang or dry one tear
That fate metes out from endless stores of sadness
That can be garnered in a single year.
How few hearts cannot bitterly remember
Some New Year born in happiness and hope,
That died in sorest anguish in December
Mid chills with which no human warmth
could cope.
Still others have been blessed with loves be-
Stowal,
Joys gracious gifts been laid at many feet,
Sweet hearts, do not for all my fears avowal
My far off loyal prayer unkindly greet.

The Speed of the Arab.
From London Society,"

IRON LONDON society,"
The popular notion about the speed
of the Arab courser is, think, errone-
GUS. Great speed is not his strong
point; the chances are that on any or
binary race-course the best Arab in the
world would be beaten by second-rate
English race-horse. When 1 was at
Thebessa, the commandant showed me
en- English thoroughbred, which he said
had easily run away from every Arab
he had ever tried him against, But
what was far more remarkable about this
horse was that once acclimatized and
accustomed to the hard life and hard
fare of the Arab horses he quite equalsd
them In hardness and endurance, as
had been proved in the course OF many
expeditions and tours of inspection
among the tribes of the district.

A Wise Old Ram.
From the Henderson Gold Leaf.l

The most sagacious sheep in North
Carolina is on old ram that belongs to
J. A. Adcock, in Sandy Greek township.
He can not only distinguish hepersim-
mon trees from trees of other growth
in the pasture, but has learned how to
get the fruit down from them. This
he does by butting the tree. He gets
off a suitable distance, stands on his
hind legs as If in the attitude of fight
ing, and strikes the tree a vigorous
blow with his head. When he has
shaken the persimmons off he quietly
eats them, and goes on his way until
his appetite demands more. This wise
old ram used to rob the apple trees in
the same way.

Hamlet a Woman.
from the Boston Advertiser |


4 good many extraordinary literary
discoveries have been made by people
accustomed to consider things too nice
ly, but not one of them is at all compar-
able to the theory" of a recent writer in
an English journal, who has plucked
out the heart of Hamlot's mystery by
declaring him to be woman in dis
guise. The reasons for such belief are
soberly set forth. His parents concealed
his sex from motives OF ambition; this
is one of the foul crimes" of which the
ghost speaks. That Polonius knows
the secret accounts for Hamlet's dislike
of him and for his own repugnance to
match with Ophelia. It is this secret
to which Hamlet alludes in his dying
words. There are, too, innumerable
isolated passages illustrative of Ham
let's timidity, his adherence OF war,
his disgust of the table excuses of his
time, and other feminine peculiarities.
On all these grounds, and others equal
~ valid, the writer bases his theory.
This wasteful excess of perverted in
genuity is an apt illustration of the
lengths to which Shakesperian criticism
has already gone. Probably the article
in question is simply q clever joke. But
the belief expressed in it is no whit
more absurd than the loudly proclaimed
hypothesis that Bacon wrote Shake
speare's plays.
