THE COMING HORSE,
Two Styles of Animals for Which There
aGrowing Demand.

Two styles OF Animals for Which There Is
aGrowing Demand.
Is it no loss to a country like ours,
no loss to our business men, no loss to
our civilization considered as q whole
then, when it is impossible for them to
buy, even at any price, the one horse
they need-the docile, handsome,
strong-gOing roadster? And what can
be more foolish on the part of the
breeder of New England to continue to
breed the ''trotter'' that few want and
that seldom comes to hand, when he
can, with much greater chance of sue
cess, breed the horse so many are cry
ing for, all are ready to pay well for,
and no one is able to supply?
There are two styles of horses for
which there is a genuine and earnest
demand in New England and the
country to-day, and for this de-
mand there is no supply. The
first is the roadster, and the
second is the coupe coach-horse. The
former must be OF good size, handsome
to the eye, docile and able to pull two
persons from ten to twelve miles an
hour and burst out when called upon
to three-minute gait. The latter
must be of large size, of fine form, of
good solid color. gentle in stall and
harness, of high, snowy action and
able to carry a coupe or carryall eight
miles an hour. Such horses will sell,
and sell at good prices, and Whoever
breeds them will find himself breed
ing to Il profit and a good round one at
that.
There is in France a race of horses
which, crossed on our native stock,
might and probably would give us the
peoples horse, or the horse of the
future. His appearance is noble, his
form handsome, his temper gentle, his
spirit high, and his blood, through
many clearly defined and well-known
channels flows clean and straight from
the desert.
Centuries of governmental super
vision and controlling authority have
placed his pedigree beyond dispute
and made him the embodiment of pre-
potent forces to a degree unmatched in
the world, beyond the limits of
Arabia If stations from this famous
stock could be, by private enterprise
or concerted action on the part of our
breeders. imported to New England,
the style Of horse for which there is
such Il demand and of which there is
no supply, might speedily become
attainable. In a few years the finest
carriage horse in the world and a
noble class of roadsters would be seen
in our city and on our suburban road
ways, and the breeders of the country
would have what they need--a horse
that would sell, and sell for good
price and sell as soon as he was educat-
ed to go safely to harness. That is the
kind of a horse gentlemen want and
are ready to pay for.-W. II. II. Muir

WORK FOR GIRLS.
Some of the Queer Tasks Performed by tn
Women of Portugal.

some OF the queer TASKS performed DIV Inc
Women of Portugal.
Much interest has been taken in the
matter of employment for girls and for
women in this country within few
years past. The problem in the older
countries of Europe has at the same
time been how to relieve woman of
some of the burdens of labor which are
additionally hers to bear. A gentle
man travelling in Portugal more than
forty years ago, found the girls of that
country busy with work which would
not be thought fit for those of America.
Passing through a pine grove, one
of the party exclaimed, why, the
trees grow little girls!' and looking up
to the top of one of the highest pine
trees, whose slender stem was desti-
tute of boughs. there surely enough

herself on slight bough, and chop

remember, some years ago, riding
in the neighborhood of OportO with a
friend, when we were followed toward
pine grove by a young and very
pretty girl, bearing a Ratchet and a
bundle.
She wore the neither garments of
man, and throwing broad band round
the stem of a pine tree, and fastening
it also round her own waist, COM
menced a gradual ascent by lifting the
belt with her hands, and pressing the
trunk with her bare feet. After reach
ing lofty bough, she began to strew
the ground around with her green
trophies.
The young shoots of the pine are
used as litter for oxen, while the cone
is burned in the houses of the rich; it
yields a pure, bright flame. The
lower orders eat the seed of the pine
when baked. 1t is found under each
scale of the cone, and has strong
OILY taste.-Youth's Companion.

Mothers are too apt, in their desire
to make child-life happy, to take all
unpleasant duties upon themselves,
and to wait until they are grown up be-
fore she expects the children to help
her, or assume any responsibility.
When this is done, disappointment is
almost certain to await her in more
ways than one. An idle child is pro-
verbally an unhappy one, and if &C
customed to be waited upon will ex-
pect it through life, fretting when
forced to do without the service.

Referring to Shallenberger's Antidote
for Malaria, the business manager of the
Herald Of Faith would say, that he gave this
medicine personal trial, and was speedily
cured of an unpleasant Intermittent Fever.
He then recommended it to +. J. Tiefen-

Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of
whom were cured by it of chills and fever
of several years standing. Recently his
wife, after a fever of several days dura-
ton, took single dose and was perfectly
cured. In view of these remarkable cures,
and remembering how much money is spent
for quinine, SO little to be depended upon,
and often so in furious, we can only wish

HISTORICAL RUINS.
Destruction of the Oldest Saw Mill in the
United States.

Destruction of the Oldest Saw Mill in TIL g
United States.
What remained of the Oldest saw
mill in the country has been torn down
and upon it's site is building new
grist mill, the property of E. E. Bill
lings. This historic spot, situated in
the town of Rocky Hill, has long been
a favorite trysting place for lovers of
the antique, and the visitors who have
paid their respects to the place by de-
facing the crude logs are numbered by
the thousands.
But the mill will be visited no more.
1t was known far and wide as the old
Ephraim Goodrich saw-mill and was
of the most pristine construction
Imaginable. The saw was a cumber-
some horizontal affair, set in mon
strous wooden frame, propelled by a
natural waterfall upon big wooden
wheel, an invention of past ages. When
the machinery was set in motion the
earth for miles around reverberated
with the most hideous noises, and the
work was slow. 1t is told of old
Ephraim that, after starting a
prodigious log upon its road
of separation, he used to lie down
upon the carriage and sleep the dreary
hours away, awakening when the log
had run its race by the comparative
stiffness of the mill. He became
afflicted, so the story goes, with a
peculiar disease, contracted by this
habit, which prevented him from sleep
ing in quiet spot. and he then took
to running his saw-mill at the dead OF
night for his own personal benefit, and
to the detriment of lethargy OF his
neighbors, who, unable to stand it any
longer, swooped down upon the old
man and his mill one dark and gloomy
night, and spiked the water-wheel
down. That was 1850. year after the
mill had been founded.
Old Ephraim, who was fast becom-
ing aged, finally deserted this indus
try, and his son, also bearing his
fathers name, took the business and
ran it to the satisfaction of the Plebes,
his neighbors. But the mill out-lived
the family, and in 1920, the Goodrich
stock having become depleted. it passed
into the hands of William and Thomas
Tryon. These men were the Connec-
ticut lumbermen of their day, but after
some five years they too deserted the
mill, and let it fall into state of desue-
tude. Then came the great Morus-
Multicaulus craze. Thousands of men
became inbued with the idea that
they were to make their fortunes by
raising silk worms, and the greatest
excitement prevailed. Acre after acre
was planted with mulberry trees.

ChIcaro,s millionaire.

The man who told me this story had
something to say about "Old Hutch,
Of course. / never talked TO a Board
of Trade man ten minutes without
hearing something about the remarka-
BILE old man. He seems to be as per.
sistent in getting into mems minds
and ON their tongues as was Charles
l. in Mr.. Dicks Memoirs. This man
said:
you can find old Hutch on one OF
the stools at cheap lunch-counter
down near the Board every morning of
the week. Goes in there regularly and
orders two soft-boiled eggs and rolls,
and he looks at the check as closely as
any poor clerk in town. How's that
for man with his money! Millions
and millions of wealth, ard eating 10
or 20 cent breakfast. But that's his
style. He surprised me the other day.
As long as I've been around the Board,
/ never saw old Hutch wear any
thing but black SLOUGH hat; but the
other day he appeared with one of the
new-style straws with straight, stiff
brim. Nobody could look at him with
out smiling, and the old man 'tumbled'
and only wore it one day. He doesn't
care for dress, or comfort, or good liv-
ing, anyway. He has just one passion
in life, and that's gambling. He is the
first man on the floor of the Board
always, and the last one to leave it.
Imagine, if you can, the supreme de-
light TO such a man of running a cor
ner such as he manipulated last De-
cember. But he's almost parsimonious
in his daily life. / saw him at
the theater one time alone, sitting

No Ink.

There is no necessary connection be-
tween nearsightedness and a quick
temper, but something is to be allowed,
perhaps, to a man who is at the same
time overheated, out of breath, and
badly disappointed. The Boston Coqtr-
Ter reports that such a man came into
friends Office one hot day. "I've lost
my train, he exclaimed, angrily. "I
nearly killed myself trying to get it,
and then was just in time to see it go
out of the station.
"Let me sit here and write note,
won't you?" he added, as he mopped
his forehead. "I'll run down to Nahant
to my daughters for the night, and
must send word home that I'm not
coming"
Certainly" his friend responded;
sit down at that table. Everything
you want is there. Excuse me if / go
on with my work; I'm rushing to get
through for the four o'clock train"
The near-sighted man sat down, Sc
Iected his paper and pen, and began to
write. The exercise was attended with
frequent EXPLANATIONS, but of these his
friend took no notice until the visitor
broke out angrily:
why don't you have some ink in
the ink-stand?"
Its full, was the answerl @Tve
just been writing there myself"
"Then this abominable heat has
dried it all up. There isn't a drop
here"
The busy host got up to investigate.
In front of the inkstand lay a pen
wiper of black cloth, and into this the
nearsighted man was diligently dipping
his pen. The host took it out of the
way.
Il have no doubt" he remarked,
that in looking glass land they wipe
their pens first and use them after
ward, but here the other order of things
is preferred"
The visitor looked at him in speech
less rage. Then he sprang to his feet,
seized his hat, and rushed out of the
office, saying something not altogether
audible about man who "keeps a pen
wiper to fool his friends with in such
weather as this"
1t is a relief to know that he made o
handsome apology on the following
