THE WORk-HORSE,
Frequently Underfed and Most Always
Overworked Animal.

Frequently Underfed and Most Always
Overworked Animal.
There are some men who ought to be
ashamed to look an honest horse in the
face. None of our domestic animals,
however much they may suffer from
neglect, receive SO much abuse as the
horse. We refer more especially to
the work-horse, on the farm and be-
fore the cart and truck. Carriage
horses generally fare well enough-or
at least as well as those having care of
them know how to keep them-since
they are owned by well-to-do men, who
take pride in their fine appearance
and spirited action. But. as rule,
the poor worker receives no such adj
vantage from the pride of his owner.
There are many exceptions, but the
number of horses that fall under the
head of the abused is sufficient
to establish the rule. Underfed, over
worked, poorly groomed and often
badly sheltered, every point in the
poor creature is an expression of
patient suffering. 1t is a painful
sight to behold horse with the sharp
angles of its bones sticking out in all
directions and the ribs painfully easy
to count, Juggling along before n too
heavy load, and the driver, with his
feet hanging over the end-board of the
wagon, constantly applying the irritat-
ing lash to keep the poor creature from
dropping into listless, droning gait;
and sometimes team is so far run
down and exhausted that even the lash
appears to make no impression. AT
least, it fails to quicken the pace or to
awaken even the faintest apparent
recognition from the poor faded beast.
But the lash keeps flying through the
air, al the same, and the sting of it
must add to the sufferings of the stolid
rack-o bones. This picture is not
overdrawn. 1t may be seen in the
streets of any city or large village
every working day of the year. The
owner may be in part excusable on the
score of poverty, but his best excuse is
his ignorance. For, if he did but
know it, he could get much more
value in service than the extra cost OF
feed out of his horses if he kept them in
good condition, while he would save
himself the extra work and lame
shoulder resulting from the incessant
swing of the arm in applying the lash.
There can be no possible economy in
starving a horse, or any other work
animal; for the available force in the
horse is what is put into it through Its
food, and as true as the truism, "some.
thing can not come of nothing" i;
true, the owner can get no more out
of his horses than he puts into them.
The Society for the Prevention O.
Cruelty to Animals can do the ANNA
world no better service than to adop
some means of educating the ignoran
owners of livestock as to the bes
methods of feed and care in order t.
secure the bestpaying results. Nation

aHe,s a Brick. .

If it is slang, it is really classical slang.
And yet of the thousands who use the
term, how few-how very few-know its
origin, or its primitive significance. Tru-
ly it is heroic thing to say of man to
call him brick. The word so used, if
not twisted from its original intent, implies
all that is brave, patriotic and loyal
Plutarch, in his life of Agesilaus, King
of Sparta, gives us the origin of the quaint
and familiar expression.
On certain occasion an ambassador
from Epirus, on diplomatic mission, was
shown by the king over his capital. The
ambassador knew of the monarch's fame
knew that though only nominally king of
Sparta, he was yet ruler of Greece -and
he had looked to see massive walls rearing
aloft their embattled towers for the defense
of the town; but he found nothing of the
kind. He marveled much at this, and
spoke of it to the king.
"Sire," he said, II have visited most of
the principal towns, and | find no wall
reared for defence. Why is this2"
'Indeed, Sir Ambassador" " replied Ages
ilaus, ''thou canst not have looked carefully.
Come with me to morrow morning, and I
will show you the walls of Sparta"
Accordingly, on the following morning,
the king led the guest out upon the plains,
where his army was drawn up in full bat
tie array, and pointing proudly to the
serried hosts, he said:
"There thou beholdest the walls of
Sparta-ten thousand men, and ever man
brick"

The Monarch of the Sea.

Ocean travel, writes Frank C. Carpenter,
is rapidly changing, and the steamboat is
improving as fast as the railroad train.
The first ocean steamer was built near
New York in 1919, and she made trip
across the Atlantic one year later She
was named the Savannah; she was of $50
tons burden, and when she came into Liv-
erpool, after passage of twenty-five days,
she was the wonder of all the world. The
big ocean steamship of to-day is of from
1000 to 5000 tons, and she makes her
passage from New York to Queenstown in
from six days and few hours to twelve or
thirteen days Some shipowners now as
f,sert that the passage across the Atlantic
will soon be made in four days, and the
engineer OF this vessel tells me the fast
ocean travel is "f1drirlsy as safe, though more
expensive than slow fravef-- The coal
consumed by the seven days steamers2s
nearly three times as much as that consum-\
ed by the ten days steamers, and fuel is
one Of the largest items in the cost of steam
ship travel. Some of the fast Cunard
steamers burn $40 tons of coal a day,
whereas the City of Richmond, of about
the same size, but ten days steamer, re-
quires only 100 to 10 tons per day. 1t
costs about SIS ton to buy this coal and
put it in the furnaces of the ships engines
so that the difference between the seven
days steamers in the cost of coal alone is
over 81 900 per day. Can you appreciate
how much 300 tons of coal day means?
Fifteen tons of coal is yearly allowance
for small family in an eight room house.
The daily consumption of the Etruria would
keep twenty such families for year, and
the 1900 tons which this ship carries on
each trip would more than supply village
of eighty families for that time
The coal is stored in great vaults, and
fifty-four men are required to put it in the
furnaces. The ship has twenty-seven fur
naces, each of which is as big around as
ton of hay on farmers wagon and about
twice as long.
They are away down in the bottom of the
ship, and as l crept in and out among them,
by the aid of the chief engineer and lantern,
and saw the blaze of their entrance, felt
the consuming heat of their surroundings,

Dante's Inferno did not seem very far off,
and Hades was personifed before me.
The fastest steamers have 100 men to at
tend to their furnaces. They must be
kept going night and day, and the labor is
very hard. The furnaces are so hot that
the men must drink great quantities of
water, and here they mix the water with
oatmeal, and each man consumes gallons
daily. This is necessary to keep up the
perspiration. In such heat if man can

the pleiades are in the zenith about the
noon of night; hence we said that the negro
was accustomed to tell the time O night by
the position of the stars. The abolition of
slavery probably prevents him from turning
night into day, and probably he is no longer
the nocturnal rover he used to be- The
abolition of slavery has also abolished the
corn-husking match, and along with it the
good cheer and one Of the highest enjoy
ments of the negro race in the good old
days of the past. It is doubtful whether
they have anything at the present day to
compensate them for the loss, or any pas
time which they enjoy with an equal zest.

The Origin of Paper.

Paper made from silk, it is stated, was
very anciently fabricated in the eastern
parts of Asia; and the art of making this
paper was carried into Persia about A. D.
652, and to the city of Mecca, in Arabia,
in 706. The Arabs soon used, instead of
silk, cotton, which grew in their own coun-
try. This paper of cotton was carried into
Africa and Spain by the Arabs. 1t is gen.
orally thought that this invention caused
paper made from The papyrus, a XII
reed growing in Egypt, TO be disused in
Greece. The cotton paper was more last
ing and better fitted for writing upon than
papyrus paper. There is fine specimen
of ancient manuscript of this cotton paper,
written A. d. 1850, in one of the great
libraries in France. From the use of cot
ton to that of linen was natural step, but
a most important one, which led to paper
becoming the useful and almost perfect ar
ticle that it is. What is better than good
linen paper to write upon, or for books?
It is imagined that the first paper made
from linen rags was manufactured in Va
leucia and Catalonia. From Spain the art
of making this paper passed into France.
1t is discovered to have been in Germany
in 1872, and in England 1920 and 1342-
In consequence of the paper made from
cotton in Levant, the paper from linen rags
was introduced much later into Italy We
have the statement that there are manu-
scripts in existence written upon linen 20
per before the year 1900.
