Wild Horse of the Plains.

So much has been written of the horse
of the plains, which, foaled upon the
dew kissed grass of the prairie has never
known = halter OF the touch of mans
hand, that descriptive reference to their
neetness, wariness and oftentimcs their
graceful beauty, particularly among the
stations, would at this day lack interest.
But one curious fact is known TO but
few aside from those who have followed
them for hundreds of miles and studied
their habits closely. If there are enough
in n band these animals group by thir-
teens. With every stallion there are
twelve mares. What becomes of the
weaker males whom the stronger fight
away-whcther they bide their time to
get the quota of females or, in the des-
pondency of equine bachelorhood, go off
alone and starye thcmselves-is not
known. The matrimonial regulations of
the wild horse, however tits may be,
allow to each male twelve consorts,
and, the remarkable feature is. no more.
They draw the line Mt an even dozen.
Even when the bands that roamed these
great plains, then tenantless except bv
other wild creatures, numbered in the
hundreds and more than thousand this
peculiar division into families was plainly
noticeable. They kept little apart and
never voluntarily mingled. Colorado

Profits of Watch Repairjnr.

There is more profit in the repairing
department of watch making than there
is in any other trade in the country, I'M
less, possibly, it is plumbing. Take, for
instance, the main spring of q watch.
The general price for replacing one is
anywhere from $3.50 to So. Now, a
main spring to a jeweler costs little
more, all told and set, than 20 cents.
Then there is the extravagant price that
IS always demanded for cleaning a watch.
Few jewelers. ever charge less than 81. so
for such work. The time usually taken
in doing this class of work is not more
than from half to three quarters of an
hour. The main spring itself costs on an
average about 8 cents. Then there is an
enormous profit made on watch crystals.
The standard price for them is 25 cents
each. The jeweler buys them by the
gross or in lesser quantities for 20 cents
per dozen. Retired Jeweler in Globe

Tho Worst Of All Ewes.

Somebody ought to write a novel
about people with these black or dark
blue eyes which are transparent as
so many Swiss pebbles They are eyes
of intensely passionate natures, strong
for good or evil, but with tendencies the
wrong way, the eyes of born devils in
human shape. When such dull dark
eyes show the red light that comes of
caution insanity in its first stages is at
work on the brain, and such man or
woman needs care life long, or some
crisis of trouble may lead to an outbreak
of madness. 1t is the eye of one likely
in frenzy to commit manslaughter.
The most beautiful eyes in the world
are the clear gray, with large pupils,
and iris which changes and darkens with
feeling as from the shadow of a cloud.
The steadiness, brilliance and suscepti-
bility OF such eyes are index to the rarest
intelligence, quick and accurate, and the
high romantic sentiments which in such
characters become passions. Truth, lib
crafty, loyalty, are the vital breath OF
such spirits, but alasl those eyes are not
OF the long lived. Dust is over them al
most before we can say we have known
them for our own. The blush white Of
the eye betokens consumption before its
hectic brightness alarms with unearthly
beauty. and the loss of color in the pupil,
turning brown instead of black, is caused
by heart disease.-Shirley Dare's Letter.

Singular Loss of Memory,

A recent medical journal gives the re-
port of case of singular loss of memory
in young girl residing in New York.
Sitting in her own room one day, she
took up a package of letters which
she intended to answer, and was
amazed to find that she could not re-
member the names or appearance of any
of the writers, all of whom were her
own personal friends.
She was calm and sane except upon
this point; her memory of persons seemed
to be suddenly and wholly obiterated.
She hastily descended to the room
where the family was gathered for
dinner, and found that she could
not remember q single name or
face, except that of her mother Her
father, sisters and brothers appeared to
her as strangers, nor was it possible to
recall them to her. The faculty of men,
DRY of persons appeared to be paralyzed.
1t was found by the physicians that this
singular effect was produced by the lodg-
ment of clot of blood upon certain
part of the brain.
Another well known mental disorder
Which produces forgetfulness of words,
results from abnormal pressure, or soft
ening, in another part of the brain. The
patient frequently takes one word, such
as yes Or water and repeats it a
thousand times, imagining that he is con-
yersing with fluency and ease.-Youth's

Tho Perusal of a Book.

Select books that are informing, and
so far as in your power equip yourselves
with wide knowledge in all branches of
history, literature and affairs. Are you
deficient in any of these2 Then seek the
best authorities and bring yourself to the
highest standard in that field without
delay. Let your intellectual progress be
marked with positive accumulations.
When you read book that is really
worth the time you spend with it, do not
cram your mind with others as a man in
hurry is apt to cram his gripsack, but
do little earnest and profitable thinking
before you take up its successor in your
reading course. The perusal of a book
gives birth to ideas in no way connected
with the subject of which it treats. All
careful readers should, however, avoid
dwelling too long upon one line of study
or thought. Light and varied reading
should be interspersed with the solid and
useful. An extreme in either direction
is to be avoided Magazine of American

How to Live Long,

Milk IS not always admirable rs n din
ner drink, especially when fish PLAYS any
part in the menu. Tea on coffee taken
with meat is simply suicidal. These hot
beverages turn the meat into something
resembling leather, and the result inter
feres sadly with digestion. The man who
desires long life must not give Il place to
''high tea in his daily programme. OF
tea itself it can only be said that it is
harmless if not taken too often or made
too strong. The American lady who
after several calls and cup of tea at
each remarked that she could "always
worry down another cup was probably
unaware of the mischief she was doing
herself. No one need totally abstain
from tea if they only take the precaution
to buy it good, not to make it strong, not
to let it infuse long, never to take it
more than twice a day and to abjure it
after in the afternoon.
The morning tub is indispensable to all
who wish to live a long and healthy life.
1t Is true that there have been centena-
rians who have known nothing of this
luxury, but their longevity has been in
spite of that fact, not because of it. The
bath is good but not too much bath.
Walking is good, but it must not be over
done. Dickens overdid it. Most of u.s.
however, underdo it, and scarcely walk

qaently lazy, THUS reversing the process

Weed Farming In Japan.

One might say that weed farming was
genuine part of the japanese agricul-
tural system, since the entire crop was
utilized in some fashion, either for for
age, food, bedding, beauty, mulching or
manure. Not savage plant was al
lowed to lead useless life, or to devote
its energies to the undoing of the farmers
work. Though the harmless and pretty
weeds were in some cases permitted to
flourish IN the road cutters as well as the
borders-and this is no joke-in such
cases they We're themselves sedulouslv
weeded. 1t does not take deep or intense
reflection to perceive that this thorough
system of weed culture, so to speak, re-
heves the farmers of one heavy tax on
their industry, which their brethren in
America abandon themselves to paying.
