One of Senator Bayard's personal
said . day or two since:-
"Some time ago there was q story
ahoat that Mr.. Bsyard had said he
could not accept the secretaryship of
stste, because he was too poor to en-
terrain In the sumptuous style now in
vogue. Mr.. Baysrd never said any
thing of the sort. He is amply able
to entertain Handsomely If he wishes
to do so, but he is one of those who
want to restore the simplicity OF form
or times, aud If he should be at the
head of the state department he will
not prolong the era of lavish display.
That era began with Secretary Fish
and will end with Secretary Freling-
~huysen." We are glad that the foolish
utteranes attributed to Senator Bay
ard has been denied. All cabinet con-
lectures give Mr.. Bsyard the state de.
partment, and we should be 10th to sea
any man 60 into the place who had un.
democratic views eyer as to the social
conduct of his position. Mr.. Bayard
is q grand msn, and will make q secre.
tary of state that will reflect the great

shetland PONY and Peroheron

1t is difficult matter to believe that those
magnificent specimens of equine power. the
Percheron and Clydesdale draught horses,
shOnld be derived from the same original
stock as the Shetland pony. These little,
hardy, obstinate. glod-natured pets hsve
been undergoing during a number Of years
3 process of physical degeneration, which
hes reduced them to an average stature of
forty to forty-eight inches, and often much
less. They, like the oaks and frs of the
islands upon which they have been reared
ard bred, have become stunted in their
growth by The peculiar conditions Of their
environment; while the other branch of the
family has been interbIed and selected ald
improved, With a view of producing the
magnificent thoroughbreds which we now
so often see in the business parts of our
cities, and which are so often the pride of
our State and County Fairs and horse shows.
In point Of strength the pony probably
stands ahead of the Percheron in proportion
to its sze, and wonderful stories are told in
their native Isle Of their wonderful endur-
snCe ard power.

The price OF silk in England is below any
which has been touched since the occur
renee of the French Revolution in 1913. In
a great measure the glut in the market has
been due to the enormous imports from
China during the present year The Chinese
dealers and merchants have been in such
fear of damage from French arms on the one
side, of internal exactions on the other, and
CT of plupder from third parties in a time of
panic, that they have preferred to sell off
stocks. The accumulation OF China silks in

depth of sixty feet below the surface. The
piece is unique, not exactly for its size, but
for lis shape and its remarkable fine color,
the absence of any defect and its singular
clearness Of sound. The value of the find
may be inferred from the fact that another
piece in the museum larger to be sure, but
infinitely inferior in quality, was bought by
King Frederick William III in 1903, for the

HaDitual constipation is not only one oil
the most unpleasant, but at the same time
one of the most injurious conditions OF the

complshed by the use of purgatives, which
for the time afford relief, bat after their Inn

The choice OF farm depends chiefly upon

dairy farm should be either good grass lald
or light soil adapted for raising green fodder

stony, ii the price is consistent, but where
the plow is used stone is to be avoided.
