WoRLD.-The visible world presents
a different aspect to each individual
man. You will say that the same
things you see are seen by all,-that
the forest, the valley, the food, and
the sea, are the same to all; and vet
all these things SO seen, to different
minds are myriad of different uni
verses. One man sees in that noble
river an emblem of eternity; he closes
his lips and feels that God is there.
Another sees nothing in it but very
convenient road for transporting his
Spices silks and merchandise. To
one this world appears useful, to
another beautiful Whence comes
the difference? From the soul within
US. 1t can make of this worlda vast
chaos-'a mighty maze without a
plan;; or mere machine-a collec-
ton of lifeloss forces; or it can make
it the living vesture of God, the
tissue through which he can become
visible to us. In the spirit in which
we look on it the world is an arena
for mere self-advancement, or a place
for noble deeds, in which self is for
gotten and God il all.

The Draft Horses of France.

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans, ii is a fact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name, Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Boullanais. The
Percherons are the most highly priced of
all French races, and all departments
of France go to the Perche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
Percheron stud book of France, pub
lished under the authority Of The French
Government, is the onty stud book of
draft horses that IS or eUer has been pub
lshed in France, and now contains the
pedigrees of about 5000 animals. But
some importers are offering certificates
from France of Norman draft horses
that may mislead people who do not
understand the French language into
believing these records of origin. Not
one of them issued contains O pedigree.
They are furnished at the request of
American buyers by the secretary of
one of the French Agricultural socie-
ties, who says there is no intention of
publishing them in stud book form, as
they have no pedigrees and are of no
value whatever. 1t is a well known
fact that what a man gives for horse
over from $500 to S800-the price of a
good grade-is paid for purity of blood;
and where the seller is not able to give
the recorded pedigree of the animal
sold as evidence of additional value, he
has no right to ask it. With these facts
before him, no Intelligent man win buy
a horse imported from France unless
he is recorded with his pedigree in full
IN the Percheron Stud Book Of France.
