In handling horses every good point
should be employed, not only general
conformation, style, etc., but DISPOSE
ton and physical stamina. No horse
is of much account II he has not a
level head and good vigorous corstt-
tuition. These two qualities, with
docility, are about all that belong to a
choice horse. Aguide to the choosing
of such horses is of much import
ance. First comes the color. The
above most desirable qualities are not
to be found among the so-called sorrel
horses by any means; but among the
true bays, dark browns and dark
chestnuts are to be found the most de-
sirable qualities. They are less liable
to disease than blacks and seversl
other colors. In these colors are
found the mos perfect tempered AMI
mails. Rarely are they viciou' or ILL
natured. In them are found stamina,
action and speed, a.! With generally
beautiful conformation. Among the
blacks are to be found faulty eyes
: and feet. Among the greys, warts
Gantnmors. Among the light Rreys
nund the subjects of melanosis,
f.. durable disease which alta; ks no
sorrels are 60 be found nine-tenths of
all, the unpleasant qualities, much
feared and objected to in choosing a
horse, especially when family horse is
desired. Years ago was asked by the
Boston Club to explain how the color
of a horse could make such an impor-
tant difference in him. My answer to
them was that the color of q horse
did not make his disposition, did not
make the difference; but the peculiar
organism that caused the color die
make the difference in the disposition
etc. would not buy a horse for
friend or myself which was a light
chestnut, called sorrei, excepting upor
good proof of an exception to the ruiz
in his favor. 1 would always buy on
of the three colors, named above
when purchasing a horse; above all
dark chestnut.

The Spectre in Red.

The Spectre in Red.
There exists tradition that the
Louvre, this great square, and the
Tuileries Palace, where it stood over
there to our right, and haunted by a
spectre called lie Petit Homme
Rouge" The appearance of this spec
ire is always followed by national
misfortune-ciVn commotion, revolu-
ton, public disaster, or the death of
the head of the state. When
Catherine de Medicis built the
Tuileries she took fcrcible possession
of a lot of other peoples property, in
Guiding butcher shop, the owner of
which was known among his neigh
bors as the Little Man in Red" be-
cause of his bloody business. This
butcher was witness of some of the
amorous adventures of Kate de Medi-
els, and in order to be sure of his
silence the queens mother had him
decoyed into subterranean passage
way that connected the Tuileries with
the Louvre, where he was murdered.
The spirit of this poor fellow took
up its abode in the garrett of the
new palace and ever since he has been
herald Of death or misfortune. In
the latter days of the reign Of the
grand roi the "Petit Homme Rouge"
showed himself to Louis XIV, and
then followed ruinouS and disas-
trous war, the death of the Duke of
Bourgoyne and his wife within six
days of each other and then the kings
own death. Louis XIV. next mount
ed the French throne and was called
by his people ''le bien aime." One day
the Little man in Red" showed him
self to the king. and not long after
ne died with the smallpox, loathed
and deserted; he died as hated
and deteSted monarch as ever sat on
a throne. Poor Louis XVI. must have
seen the butchers ghost the first night
he slept in the Tuileries after that
bowling mob had forced the royal
family to move into Paris from Yer
sailles. On the goth of June, 1892, the
sans colottes gathered in this Place du
Carrousel and forced their way into
the palace. For six longihours the roya
family were forced to witness detilt

Many things in which young peo-
nile render themselves very impoiite:
Loud laughter; reading when others
are talking; cutting finger nails in
company; leaving meeting before it is
closed; whispering in meeting; gazing
at strangers; leaving stranger with
out a seat; want Of reverence for su-
periors; reading aloud in company
without being asked; receiving a
presant without some manifestation
of gratitude; making yourself the
topic of conversation; laughing at the
mistakes of others; joking others in
company; correcting older persons
than yourselves, especially your pa
rents; to commence talking before
others are through; answering ques
tionswhen put to others.

America Ahead. Peculiar

cans The Evils and How
Restored.

In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untaned state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer.
ican people arc fast, under these influences,
developing into a nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quali-
fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very clements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people. and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DIR. S. B. Hart
man, and named Dy MIN fERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
sia for several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles of the medi
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and saws it
is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus s. Co., Springfield, O.,
writes We are having good sale for
PERUNA. 1t sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Needham, Newtonville,
Clsrmont County, Ohio, says: =" l have
been a great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. I was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles of PERUNA, which
has restored. me to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA safe and
grand medicine"

To the Editor of the Standard:
When | read the statement in your
paper giving an account of surprise
party to Mr.. Samuel Baker by his
friends and being on his 92d birthday,
it causes me to think back to the time
when first became acquainted with
him; it was in the Spring of 1841, in
Venango County, Penn. We were
together at Furnace, for two years,
perhaps lacking one month of that
time. He was fond Of hunting and
fishing, was good marksman with
rifle. would sometimes spend whole
day in walking through the woods
and over the hills in search of deer,
without appearing fatigued in the
evening In his rambles he had seen
a white deer in company with others,
which he was anxious to kill, but
could not get close enough to shoot
it. He discovered by the path they
made their route in crossing ridge
in going to the creek. He made what
he termed dry lick on the ridge close
to the path, by digging hole in the

" ct Armis.


When a man of Drawn stands up in
pugilistic combat before his supposed
equal, prepared to take blows as well
as give them, disgusting and demoral-
izing as the spectacle must be, there
is sort of coarse bravery in it. One
feels that under some circumstances
there might be hope Of putting the
man and his muscle to good use.
But when he deals blows and kicks
upon horses confined in harness, terri
fed, helpless, held and twisted by the
bit, he shows himself coward at
heart, whom brother pugilist might
look down on with contempt. Cruel
horse-beating is but short remove
from wife-beating. When a man
needlessly maltreats his horse his wife
is in danger.
Just such werewolf of the hu-
man race had his lair in Boston.
