The HERALD announces with sad
ness the passing from the physical to
the spiritual world, on Wednesday,
the 9th inst, Mrs Ford, wife of
Charles Ford. ex-editOr and present
postmaster Of Marvin, after an illness
Of about a day, from puerperal fever.
She had been married but about a
year. We extend to her sOrrOwing
companion our deepest coincidence
and sympathy. Let him remember
that
There is no death! The stars 60 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright, in Heavens jeweled crown,
They shine forever more,
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them-the same
Except IN sin and pain.
And ever near, as though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For ali the bOundless universe
Is liIe-there is no dead.

REGARDLESS OF COMFORT.

REGARDLESS OF COMFORT.
Fashion is the curse of this age" said
Mr.. Petersen; people will follow it re-
CARELESS of comfort. They will put
mountains on their backs and call it the
hustle. They will torture themselves in
order to comply with certain forms de-
clared to be the fashion. When people
torture themselves l do not care. Let
them suffer, they ought to know better,
l then think to myself. But when l see
helpless animals tortured for the sake of
complying with ridiculous demands of
fashion, | get indignant and cannot stand
it.. The horse is one of the most beauti-
full animals, because of his fine proper
tions and graceful, curved outlines. Now
look at that picture. What do you see
there? You see the law of nature vio-
lated. You see a machine put up on the
horse in order to do away with the curved
line his arched neck forms
That is the way l begin my converse
ton with the people handling horses and
using the check rein.
81 tell them that this check rein is not
only disfiguring the horse but also injur-
ing his health. 1t robs him of comfort, it
makes him ervou and he a see
anything, because of being forced to look
upward unto the sky. Then l point to
the swan, and ask the coachman what
tAhb AOD1C II OhA0 lOOh AlhC IL a
rein would be put over her head. Then 1
point to the checked up man, and ask the
~coachman to tell me how he would feel if
he were checked up in a like manner.
How would you feel, manT l say.
The first few minutes you would proba-
bly, endure this constraint without much
complaint. But then you would begin to
kick. In a short time your neck would
begin to ache, and your mouth would be
filed with blood from the fruitless efforts
to get the head down. You would be-
com restless and begin to toss your head
just as your horse is doing it now. How
would you feel If, while the sun were
binding you~ eyes, with a burden to draw
or carry, unable to see where to step, you
were whipped into a run, into a ditch or
depression in the rough street pavement?
Would you feel comfortable2 That's
why you often see fine horses harnessed
to elegant carriages paw vigorously,
champ the bit, toss the head, and turn
the neck. They want to loosen the check,
lower the head, and get a rest

Leary,s Raft Served Science.

When the great Leary raft went to
pieces off Nantucket last December no
one thought of regarding it us anything
except an unqualified disaster entailing
serious pecuniary loss on the owners of
the raft. However, this view was very
erroneous, for it is now found hat real
and permanent good has resulted from
the accident. The raft was composed of
thousands of logs, and of course when it
broke up each log became what may be
termed a special observing station for the
photographic Office. Since December each
log that has been observed has had its
position noted by passing vessels, and
now, after the lapse of several months,
the office at Washington has compiled
these observations and issued a carefully
prepared pilot chart. This chart, which
represents the courses which the logs
took after the raft was broken up, and
the points in midocean in which they
were found, shows at a glance the general
direction of the currents, and gives an
object lesson to the mariner that could
scarcely have been given in any other
way.
OF course Mr.. Leary's contribution to
science was an involuntary one, but it
has been no less valuable on that account,
and has advanced the study Of ocean cur
rents in a way that no one deemed posi-
BILE before the disaster occurred. One Of
the peculiar features of the affair is that
what happened was just what the scien-
lists desired, but it was rather too ex-
pensive an experiment to be made volun-
tarily. Thousands of floating logs ON the
Atlantic meant too much danger for ship
ping to permit of the government placing
them there. However, no serious disaster
has occurred from collision with any Of
these logs, and the wreck of the great log
raft has therefore been both instructive
and harmless, except to the gentlemen
who owned it.-Galveston News.

oh. daughter of my dreamsi Have 1 not known
Thee save in unsubstantial fancy wrought
From nothingnessY The offspring of a thought
So long remembered that thy face hath grown
AS real as every wayside copse or stone
Along my path. Thine eyes deep blue and
fraught
With poesy. Thy lips mine own have sought
So oft in vain. Art thou a dream aloneg
Nay surely. have drunk of Lethe's stream
And / forget, once ere this life began

With an undying passion, so supreme
That still mid all the strife and toll of man
I seek in vain thine unforgotten face.

OF all the troublesome people in the
world the confirmed shoppers are surely
the worst. Shopping is decidedly a craze
with some ladies, and generally from the
pseudo aristocrats. They have the clerk
to tear down every sample of fine EN-
broidery n lace, and, not satisfied with
seeing a yard or so of it, they invariably
want several yards uuwound. But they
rarely buy any of the goods. If they do
buy, it is of a cheaper grade. Now, when
you come to think that a dry goods clerk
has q space of about twenty-five feet in
length and only four feet in width behind
the counter, all the long hours day after
day, you can imagine how ths tedium
and monotony of this life is made almost
intolerable by the e~xasperating shoppers
We learn to remember their faces, though,
and even recognize them from their
actions and conversation.
The clerks lave long since leaned to
handle these shoppers very adroitiY. We
play a trick called 'railroading." When
a shopper comes in and a clerk shows her
a few pieces of goods in his department,
he then begins to extol the good quail
ties of "some very exquisite doSigns in
dress goods" or shifts the conversation to
some other counter than his cyn. OF
course the shopper wants to sec the new
goods, and the clerk railroads her to
the other department and then biesses his
soul that he is rid of her. Tho second
clerk follows up the plan, and thus the
shopper is ''railroaded' through every de
partment in the store. and she then
leaves for some other store to go the
rounds in the same style. But tie shop
per is looked upon by us as IN excrescence
of the trade that must be tolerated, and
we treat her as politely as our severely
tested patience will allow. = Clerk in

HOW THE DRIVER TAKES IT


The driver smiles or laughs, or STAN
mers something. He thinks l am a queer
fellow, and goes on to explain hat be
would not mind loosening the check, but
the people who employ him were opposed
to it, want more style, and SO on.
"'Well, then,' l say, call your peoples
attention to the fact that the horses are
being tortured by the check rein. Tell
them that the horses would be killed in a
short time because of the silly fashion
II thus go on lecturing. Often the
drivers and coachmen really follow my
advice n remedy the thing. But often
the people are stubborn and do not care
to listen to what | say.
II have discovered that my painting
helps me a good deal in my work. l took
it one Sunday to the Peoples church at
McVicker's. There was a long row of
carriages with fine horses standing in
front of the theatre. The horses were
all checked up. l showed the picture to
the coachmen. They laughed and fred
at me al kinds of silly remarks. Finally
a young couple drove up in a carriage to
the theatre. The horse was restless. !
showed my picture to the young gentle
man and explained to him the reason of
the horses restlessness. The young gen
tleman thought he had a fool from the
insane asylum before him. The uni
formed stood around grinning
and ANYTHING developments.
well, l gave them q practical lesson
right there on the spot. l unchecked
the horse, and there he stood quietly and
comfortably, showing no signs of being
unmanageable. The check having been
loosened the horse dropped his head. His
neck assumed its natural arched form.
He at once became an object of admira-
ton for all the drivers. The young Con
tleman thanked me for my advice, and
the lady that was with him thought tat
my picture was the best scheme devised
for the welfare of horses.
at is only a few weeks since l began
to use my picture, and l find it much
more eloquent han words. Some time
in the near future l shall also have other
pictures copied and painted. III show
them q horse in it's natural position; a
pair of horses, one checked and another
loose; a p of horses, easy and grace
full, because of their not being over
checked; and a pair of work horses with
check reins on. The pictures will be
more telling than words, and the crusade
against the check rein will MAKE rapid
progress Chicago Tribune.
