hon. The pan is often left in the heat

SIZE OF HORSES. Taking into consid-
Grafton the various uses to which hor-
ses are put, it becomes evident that the
size must depend upon the service re-
quired. For all heavy drsyage or heavy
team work, large size and heavy weight
are almost wholly Indispensable, and
the breeder OF heavy horses will have
no trouble In making sales at good pri.
ces. But when it comes to farm or road
service, the horse of medium size and
weight will completely discount the
animal of ponderous proportions. Then
coming to the true roadster. An animal
of muscular vigor but smaller in weight
and size has decided preference. Dr.
Horne, Y. S.. says; 81 would prefer
II $50 to 200 pound animal for long
endurance and a lifetime of wear and
tear. Two of the best roadsters ever
owned had a weight one of $40 and the
other a little less than 900 pounds.
Small animals will eat less, require less
shoeIng, will be less likely to have dis
ease, and are more convenient to ham
die.

Discipline in the Chinese Army.

The Shanghai correspondent of the
London and China Telegraph thus re-
ports: u am told chat the garrison of
the Woosung forts is to be reinforced
by four thousand men, who will march
for their post in day or two. A few
Chinese soldiers passed through the
settlement to-day in full panoply of
war-that is, all of them had umbrellas
opened out to keep their jackets dry as
they marched in the rain. Some Of
them had rifles on their shoulders in
any way but the right one, more OF
them had flags with which to scare the
French. They were most of them fine
fellows, but lack the very essentials of
making them formidable against an
enemy, although they will no doubt
prove formidable to the peasantry in
the neighborhood of their camp. The
lack of discipline is q fruitful cause of
trouble in the Chinese army; officers
are often unfit for their positions, and
unable to control the men under them
by gentle means, but they are willing to
use harsh ones. Fiogging is quite COM
mon in the Chinese camp, and there ap-
pears to be no limit to the number of
strokes an offender may receive. For
any infraction of the rules Of propriety
any number of strokes from fifty to five
hundred, or even five thousand, may be
given. have often seen two thousand
administered to man for slight ofenses.
Sometimes the ictor himself gets
licked for being too gentle in the II Sc
of his bamboo. Of course, long-con-
tinued beating on the feshy part OF the
thighs, however gentle, soon beats the
flesh into black and deadened mass,
which is often broken and bleeding,
and takes long time to cure. The
marks generally remain through life,
but that is matter of small considera-
ton to officers who have them
selves suffered such punishments.
Sometimes the officers appear to
have a desire OF avenging them
selves on the unfortunate mem
bers Of their corps as an atonement for
the wrongs they have themselves suf-
fered. Cutting off a finger or an ear,
sometimes the lips, is resorted to as a
punishment for slight offenses. Many
Chinese officers have but one ear"

A Knowing Parrot.

following: The venerable pastor of Put

telephone operator, gymnast, and con-
tortlonlst. The bird will speak Irish,

quently essays to sing, and reproduces
SO well the sound of the human voice
that one can tell whose voice he imi-
tates. His voice and humor are best
generally in the morning. He mimics
the domestic animals, canary bird, cat,
and rooster; whistles for the little
poodle, and kindly calls the Newfouad-
land dog by pet name. The names of
the household members are often On
his tongue. His friendship is perpetu-
ally particular for certain individual:
he has fits of revenge and is very vio-
lent in self-defeDse. He commands,
exhorts, and denounces as If endowed
with human intelligence; has some
what regular hour for retiring, manifest
ing his desire therefor by screech of
impatience. He undertakes to advise
children regarding the propriety of 60
ing to school, and using handkerchief
when necessary. If the INDECENT young
sters were as assiduous in their applica-
ton as this parrot, they would be bright
scholars. Although he seemingly dis
tlnguishes where there is difference of
rank, he has very little reverence for the
most distinguished in church or state,
and naturally has no human respect"
At times he assumes meditative mien,
especially after active and talkative
scenes. He takes great delight in whist
ling the raise-up-the-curtai and hurry
up-with- play gamut, common in the
Opera House and halls; apparently
knows good from evil, and is quick to
declare that that quality exists in certain
things. He put period to any current
nonsense by his imperative "Stop" ap-

hearty laugh when in the proper mood F.;
holds prolonged conversations by tele-
phone and otherwise, and manifests a
love for the so-called almighty dollar on

Heavens Amounted Slapped.
from the Atlanta Constitution

IFrom the Atlanta Constitutional
The young Mexican Prince Augustin
Iturbide, who now resides with his
mother IN Washington, is very much
esteemed and honored. His father, the
son of the Emperor Iturbide, was very
different man. and in his youthful days
was disturbing element in Washington
society. He scorned the common peo-
pie, and had the most exalted idea of
the divinity of princes. One night ct a
ball he treated Peter Wilson, of Vir-
ginia, with such contempt that the high
spirited Virginian threw his glove in
the princes face. This excited Iturbide
beyond all control, and he jumped up
and down screeching; "God Almighty,
has it come to this? that I, one OF
heavens anointed, should be slapped in
the face by Peter Wilson," The pres
ent IturDide has too much good sense to
ever place himself in such a position,
His mother was a Miss Green, of
Georgetown, and she has had him very
carefully educated. Macmillan and
Carlotta adopted the youngster as their
heir, and Madame Iturbide received
100000 from the crown and residence
in the City of Mexico.

foot oil. Not q bone of any animal is
thrown away. Many cattle shin bones
are shipped to Europe for the making
of knife-handles, where they bring $40
per ton. The thigh bones are the most
valuable, being worth $50 per ton for
cutting into toothbrush handles. The
foreign bones are worth $50 per ton,
and are made into collar buttons, parasol-
handles and jewelry, though sleeps legs
are the staple for parasol-handles. The
water in which the bones are boiled is
reduced to glue, the dust which comes
from saving the bones is fed to cattle
and poultry, and the bones that cannot be
used as noted, or for comeback, used
for refining the sugar we eat, are made
into fertilizers and made to help enrich
the soil. AS regards waste, it is the
story of the pig. Nothing lost except

Tom was late arrival at the De

he ran across was Hortense Lee and
Clement Vane. The young lady gave
him laughing glance, nodded to him
gayly, and made commonplace remark.
Vane screwed the glass in his eye, and
vouchsafed him languid greeting, and
he watched them go slowly through the
throng, smile of real enjoyment on his

A Sealed Record.

In overhauling the records in the
secretary's department. on Friday last
there was found sealed package bearing
this inscription: "This package con-
tains confidential message from the
governor, and the documents which &C
companied it, together with the record
of the proceedings of the Senate thereon

secrecy not having been removed, it is

in order to consider message, which

in reference to a danger, which appeared
well-founded at the time, that Great
Britain was about to take forcible pos
session of the disputed territory on the
boundary line between the British
provinces and the state of Maine. We
see no reason why the governor and
