DOCKING HORSES.
4 Cruelty Which Should Be Fro

4 Cruelty Which Should Be crowned
Down by Humane Persons.
People from other parts of tho ,coun-
try who visited New York a year or
two ago were surprised to see that tie
fashion Of docking horses had been re.
vived there. Half the carriage horses
In the Central Park had been deprived
of the greater part of their tails. In.
stead of the luxuriant and beautiful
:appendage which nature gives, the
animals exhibited horsehair brush,
short, abrupt, ugly and useless.
This fashion has not proved to be a
mere passing fancy of A.the British
dudes" but now appears to have be-.
come fixed, and is spreading over the
country, and there is reason to fear
that the entire class of people who live
but to differ from the anass of thei1
feflow-citizens will not be able to re-.
spect themselves this summer while
riding behind long-tailed horses.
The spirit of fashion works in two
ways: 1t makes some of us aspire to
be both like and unlike our fellow.
mortals. The victims of this mania
wish to be obviously unlike the mass,
and ,conspicuously like a class. Chinese
parents torture their girls for five
years, converting their pretty feet into
hideous little Jumps of bone and flesh,
because those Jumps are recognized as
the sign of social rank.
For q similar reason the rich shon.
keepers of Gotham cut off their horses
tails. They have been told that the
fashionable people of Europe think
it mark of high breeding to be indif.
ferent to the sunerings of the creatures
that serve them.
Several writers lately have taken the
ground that horses do not much mind
losing their tails, not even in fy-time
If they are protected by nettings.
It seems folly to reply to such state.
ment- Any one who closely observes
the ways of horses becomes aware that
the swishing Of their long tails is tran.
QUILTING and pleasant occupation ia
them, aside from its utility in driving
away insects. It relieves their minds
and mitigates the monotony of their
existence. The operation Of docking
Is cruel beyond conception.
We should all wish to rown upon
this cruelty to helpless brutes. How
shal We do itp There is, perhaps, no
better way than to act upon the wise
and ttmely suggestion that all who are
opposed to it shall not merely not dis.

SMALL INVESTMENTS
An Explanation of the Building nad I.ou
Association System.

An Explanation of the Building nad Loan
Association System.
The persons composing q building
and loan association agree to pay into
their treasury certain sum, at fixed
periods, on each share that they own,
until their shares through such pay
ments and the accumulated profits
reach their par value. or, as it is tech
nically termed, mature" The stated
payments (called 'dues"), their fire.
quency, and the par value of the stock
vary. Ehe general rule is that one
dollar shall be paid on every share
once a month until a par of 5000 is
reached. When the shares ''mature, :"
the assets in the treasury are divided
among the shareholders. Just as fast
as the money is paid in it is offered in
the shape of loans to the members
and to the members only-the security
taken being mortgage on real estate
and an assignment to the association
OF the borrowers stock. The amount
which a 'member is entitled to borrow
equals the par value of his or her
shares. Thus, in an association where
the par value is 5000, a member
who wants 81, 900 must own Eve shares.
AS every member has an equal right
to become borrower, the disposition
of the loans is made by putting the
'money up at auction, from time to
time, and awarding the loan to that
member who will give the highest
premium above the regular interest
Fate. The building and Loan Associa-
ton laws provide that the acceptance
Of these premiums shall not constitute
usury. In order that the dues and in
terest shall be paid regularly, the by
laws providethat they shall be received
only by the secretary, and by him only
at the stated meetings, and there is a
small fine for a non-payment, which is
Increased from meeting to meeting, a
delinquency for a certain period eaus-
ing the forfeiture of the stock, or Civ
ing ground for the foreclosure of a
mortgage.
The interest is paid monthly, and
the interest money, with the dues and
any othsr receipts. goes into the treas
ury, to ae loaned at once. It is appar-
emit, therefore, that building and
loan association whose money is in de-
mand not only receives interest con-
stantly on the dues paid in by all the
members. bat that it compounds this
interest monthly, Herein lies the chief
secret of the proftableness OF this sys-
tenn OF investment. w. A. Linn, in
Scribner's.
