A Lesson to Horsemen.

A Canadian writer draws attention to
the fact that many horses are subjected
to much pain by the bits being put into
their mouths on very cold mornings with
out precaution being taken to free them
from frost. He makes the following re-
marks on the subject, which are certainly
worthy of consideration: THE bits should
be carried into the house and thawed out
by the kitchen stove, or dipped into q
pail of water. If you want a lesson you
will not soon forget in regard to this
matter, put your tongue against bit
that has been exposed all night to zero
temperature. 1t will stick fast, and you
will not get it free without leaving some
of the skin behind" Giving horses ice
water is also cruel, and not calculated to
conserve the health of the most useful
helper man has on the farm. Chicago

A Bit of Porcelain.

1t is while examining a collection OF
Japanese, Chinese and Corean porcelain,
pottery and faience that one realizes the
fact that no hard work Illuminated by
taste or genius perishes from the world.
The original designers of certain form
of porcelain may be forgotten these
thousand years, and so may the men who
discovered this color and that, and those
who found out the secret of under glaze
and over; the way to heat just so much
at one stage of the painting and just so
little at another; the inventor of a har-
monious blending of all that his prede-
cessors had discovered. But all their
work told, and here is the result-a bit Of
porcelain that when examined at leisure
and in the sympathetic frame of mind is
found to rank itself with great poetry,
great music. great sculpture.-New York
