the volume of business is by no means SO

may deprive capital of It's reward, and throw an
unexpected favorable balance over to the side of
absolute loss. The cost of material and labor,
the hours that constitute days work, the ability
to make deliveries at a specified time, the rates
of freight and facilities for transportation, are
all elements that have to be taken into consider
alton in making contracts, and whatever tends to
render any or all of these in any sense uncertain
results in conservatism and hesitation IN en-

the revival of actiyIty halts, and yet,
In spite OF tdese embarrassments, the
actual movement Of merchandise is large, there
has been no absolute check to consumption. sup
plies are nowhere accommodating, and available
stocks in the hands of manufacturers and selling
agents bear no comparison with what they were
a year ago at this time. Confidence has not been
shaken there is no feeling of distrust respecting
the actual prosperity Of the country, and the fu-
ture outlook is far from discouraeing, but there
is enough in the presen. unsettled condition OF
labor throughout the country to make business
men conservative, and to avoid any expansion Of
the current volume of trade. Locally there were
no fluctuations in values to-day calling for spe

Feeding Horses,

Hew England Farmer.
AS a rule the horse requires abont per
cent of his weight in food daily, a thousand
pound horse eating twenty pounds, which should
be about half hay and half grain. lessen,ng the
quantity when standing idle. The horses stom-
ach being the smallest known to comparative
anatomy, he should have his three meals day.
Do not feed a horse as you would a cow with her
series of large stomachs designed for storing
away surplus food. Oats are too little apprec-
food for the horse; it is too fattening and a fat
horse Is not a useful horse The street-car
horses of Boston are well fed and last better
than the average horse the farm. Thirteen
miles is about the extent of a days work for
horse that is In harness seven days in the week,
and the car owners have learned this and do not
try to exceed it. Any man who attempts to
make his horse do more than this and follows 1t
will fail In driving on the road 1t is speed that
kills. Driving five miles in ten minutes less
time than it ought to take gives pain and short
ems life. Some horses eat like some meu--too
fast. He had an uppatented method for curing
the habit: keep peck of cobble stones In the
manger, among which the oats are poured, and
the horse will require time for separating the
grain from the rocks. He had tried TO induce
Boston millers to introduce rollers into their
mills for crushing oats, but thus far without
success. Crushed oats make the best feed in the
world for horse, and would be in demand il
procurable. Watering Immediately before or
Immediately after eating is bad for the horse
Before eating cold water chills the stomach and
units it for the digestive process; while water
poured. down upon full stomach washes the
contents along too fast, causing waste Of food,
and, if followed by immediate driving. that most
disgusting complaint, scours. Water should be
given little at a time, and often. Most horses
drink more than they need because they are al
lowed to become too dry too tired. A tired
horse may DO trusted to eat but not always to
drink. Never let your horse stand without food
while you rush In to your own dinner

Fact and Sham Illustrated,

Twas in Paris when Queen Victoria
and Prince Albert came over to visit
the Emperor and Empress; and l was
at the opera on the night when they
all went there in state. was in the
box on the second tier Immediately
facing the royal box; and I shall never
forget my impression of these two
figures in his5ory-Queen Victoria and
the Empress Eugene. Woman for
woman there was no question as to
which was the more beautiful, Our
Queen has never pretended to beauty,
and the Empress was one of the
loveliest ladies of her time. But SOW
erdign for sovereign, the case was diff
ferent. Something I cannot explain
what, gave Victoria the seal and sign
of reality. She was the true queen.
A nameless dignity, ease, consciousness
of place-the reverse of self-conscious-
ness-stamped her as the one born in
to the purple; educated on the steps of
the throne; the inheritor by right of
law; whose crown was of gold, hall
marked, whose pearls were as old as
history. Eugene. on the contrary,
was just beautiful actress gracefully
performing q part, well-studied and
well-rendered, but at the best only a
part.
Her queenhood was not real, not in
trinsic-it was assumed; her royal
robes were made yesterday by millin-
er and had not been inherited; her
crown was of tinsel and her Jewels
were of paste. It was, in a word, the
difference between the real and the
seeming-fact and sham.
Again, as in the same box at the
opera when Vittorio Emanuele was in
Paris, and he and the Emperor came
there to show themselves. The King
of Italy came boldly to the front of the
box, where he stood squarely, facing
the house and looking about him.
The Emperor slid in with creeping,
cat-like step, and SUNK behind the
curtain. sitting down as if to hide him
self. The bluff soldierly bearing of the
Piemontese, his frank, bold eyes, and
brave, if less than comely face, con-
trasted powerfully with the strange
self-effacement, pallid countenance,
and tishy eyes of the Emperor. Once
more there was that strange difference
between reality and seeming, which
made Bonapartism show itself for
what it was-a mere historical paren-
thesis bracketed in lines of blood; a
temple of Juggernaut founded on
craft, cruelty and dishonor; CHASTITY
idol doomed by its inherent worthless
ness to rot into the mud of which it had
been made from the beginning.-1he
