AN APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
The Drink-Traffic in Africa and the Pa
cific Islands.

enc ISLANDS.
The Board of Managers of the Ma
tional Temperance Society have adj
dressed to Congress memorial on the
subject of the drink-traffic with the ma
tive races of Africa. asking that body,
in the exercise of the authority vested
in it by the constitution of the United
States ito regulate commerce with for
eign nations" to adopt effective meas
ures for the Encouragement and sup
preston of the wasteful and destructive
African expectation of Intoxicating
liquors by American citizens. This
memorial, presented to the Senate by
Senator Frye, was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, where it
is now pending.
The board also addressed to Con-
gress another memorial, presented to
the Senate by Hon. William M. Evarts,
and also referred to the Committe on
Foreign Relations, asking that by in
ternational treaty or otherwise, some
provision be made to prevent the traffic
in intoxicating liquors with the native
races of the Western Pacific Islands.
The great devastation now being
caused among the natives of Africa
and of the Pacific Islands by intox-
icants has awakened a deep interest on
the part of Christian philanthropists in
Great Britain, including Canon Farrar,
and others well known ON both sides
of the Atlantic, for their relief and
preservation. The appeal which the
National Temperance Society makes
for appropriate preventive action by
Congress ought to be widely and in
fuentially seconded by Christian and
| philanthropic citizens in this country.

Perseverance an Important Factor in
Achieving Success in Life.

Perseverance an Important Factor in
Achieving Success in Life.
In any line of business, the man who uses
reasonable economy and has the ability to
give fair management and the perseverance
to hold on, will, in q great majority of
cases, make g success; while, ON the other
hand the one who rushes into whatever he
has undertaken with a spasmodic endeavor
to win all at once, as a general rule wastes
his energies and often fails for sheer want
Of perseverance, The editor has observed
that the man who starts in to do a days
work, and attempts to do as much in one
hour as ought to be done in two, will usual
ly find it necessary in short time to take
a rest, and while he is resting will lose val
liable time which he evidently feels that he
ought to make up, Judging from the spas
modic efforts he will make when he starts
in to work again But, at night, the man
who works steady, but perseveringly, will
be found to have accomplished the most,
while usually he will also be found in a
much better condition to commence again
the next day.
So it is in business One will seem to
hustle around and make a considerable to-
do over what he is doing, and after wasting
his energies in accomplishing what, by TAX
ing lltGle more tIIne could be done with
very little effort, and then, because, as he
thinks, he fails to meet the success he
imagines he should, becomes discouraged
and is ready to make q change to some
thing else. This. in a majority of cases,
proves loss, and, in consequence, he does
not succeed as the energy he displays
would seem to warrant Another man,
while he may not make great display of
his energies at the start, will go to work
more systematic, and will have better OPP
portunities to economic, and in many cases
to manage better than when he attempts to
rush matters. If he will but observe, he
will be ready to take advantage of any IA
vorable circumstances that may arise. 1t
always seems that the man who is con-
stantly shifting about is always making a
change at the wrong time, when little
perseverance would have brought him
through all right In all lines of business
there are fluctuations, ups and DOWNS and
in order to succeed we must persevere 1t
is when the odds seem against us that it
seems the most important to persevere-

Treatment for Thumps.

What did you do for that little pig
that would not come out to the trough
to eat with the rest? Yes, l know you
asked old Neighbor Jones about it, and
he said that it had black teeth, or the
holes in its legs were stopped up. You
also told him that it breathed as though
it was working on contract and was
trying to get done. Yes, that is just
the way they do, and if not attended
to soon he will get through his con-
tract and you will be minus pig. He
has the thumps. and the sooner you get
him out of the pen on to the ground
the better Let him run around at
will, and if he wishes to drink give
him some milk with a few drops Of
carbolic acid in it. Do not disturb his
teeth, for if you examine your hogs you
will find great number of them are
blessed with black teeth, and yet are
ready for their rations three times a
day. Do not give too much acid, and
the pig will get all right. speak

Yes, such '.need education" in this

EDUCATION OF HORSES.
Well-Known Stock Breeder Explains
His Successful Method.

The greatest stock farm on Long
Island is owned by J. Ell. Shuts. He
recently told a reporter how young
horses should be trained. He said: "a
great many valuable horses are spoiled
because they are not thoroughly
broken. Too much reliance is placed
on the strength of the reins and not
enough time devoted to education.
When l bought Lady Pritchard she
only knew two things. One was to
walk, and she could not do that proper
ly, and the other was to trot at top
speed The moment you started her
up little she was off like rocket.
The first step was to teach her to stand,
stop promptly, OF to back up when
told to. Then ! taught her how to
walk. At first, half a dozen steps was
as far as she would go as I wanted her,
After time she would walk block,
then two blocks. The next move was
jog. This was much more difficult
than the others, as she considered
request for a stiff jog was the signal
for burst of speed. However,, by
checking her whenever she stepped
over the limit, she soon learned what
was wanted Speeding was the last
lesson, and what was the result? Why,
she could pull me at twenty clip, and
l could hold her with one hand. A
word or light pressure on the bit
was all that she required to check or
increase her speed. had a complete
control over her, and afterwards drove
her mile in 2:1S. There are just four
letters in a horses alphabet-A B G
and D. A is equivalent to stand, B
means walk, G corresponds with trot
and D extreme speed. Amy horse can
be taught the first three. The four
letters stand for the four stages Lady
Pritchard passed through before I
made perfect harness mare of her,
and they also stand for the four periods
of every colts education that is bred
at Parkville. There is very little diff
ference between educating colts and
people, when you look into it closely.
All my yearllngs are taught to stand,
back and know what the bit and har-
ness are for. After week of that
kind of work they are harnessed and
walked. AS soon as they have shown
that they are perfectly at home in the
harness and respond promptly to the
lightest pressure of the bit they are
hitched to cart The walking is con-
tinued. A slow jog, which is all that
will be asked of them this year, is the
next step. The two-year-olds are
treated exactly in the same manner.
