latter substance in excess, or even APP
preaching this. places the horse or the
person with this popularity as though
with sword suspended over him by
very weak thread. Life is prolonged
by such repeated efforts as give vigor,
short of sapping the vitality, and one
of the agencies through which this is
done is curtailment of tendency to fat
ness. We have in trees corroborative
evidence that firm texture leads to
long life. The hardwood trees are
considered by naturalists to be long
lived in proportion as they grow thick
and stout rather than tall. Slim plants
are, as a rule, delicate and short-lived.
We can safely apply this similitude to
the horse, and calculate that the spind-
ling, leggy horse will not prove hardy
or 1ong-lived. The firm texture of the
flesh and bones of the mule may be
taken as evidence that this concentra-
ton of structure may be considered to
be associated, as rule, with tendency
to long life. and it is worth considering
how far we can safely depart from the
popularity referred tO.-LiUe Stock

practically silk culture is not coming
to the front at all, and much less COM

asserts. There are 8 few enthusiasts
on silk-growing who are raising null
berry trees and silkWorms under many
discouragments, and these persons
deserve all credit for their unselfish
efforts; but the stubborn fact remains
that nobody in California has yet raised
silkworms for profit, and after so much
experimenting. the prospect of doing 60

ularly bright. Our climate is all right,
and elegant cocoons can be obtained

A Brief chapter on Girls.

The girl of 16 who will neither sew
nor do Homework has no business to be
decked out in finery and rambling about
in search of fun and frolic unless her
parents are rich, and in that event she
needs the watchful direction of good
mother none the less. There is no OBJ
lection to fun, but it should be we'll
chosen and well-timed. No woman or
girl who will not work has a right to
share the wages of poor mans toll. II
she does work, il she makes the clothes
she wears and assists in the household
duties, the chances are she will have
enough self respect to behave herself
when playtime comes, but If she should
still be a little wild the honest toll
she has done win confer upon her some
degree of right to have her own way.
nl-judged though it may be. The wild
girl usually aspires TO prominence in
some social circle or other, and heI
manners and conduct are in a greater
or less degree designed to attract the
following of men. She should remem-
Der that followers are not always ad-
mirers, and that the most sincere adj
niration a man ever feels for woman
in a drawing-room is when he looks
upon her and says in his own conscious
ness: ..She is perfect lady. Amer.

The Railroads OF the World.


In 1882 we built over II, 900 miles of

lieved that 5000 miles of track will be
