While dream;
Half in slumber am guiding

The Terrible Black Death.

This disease Is believed to have orig
mated in China, and sook its name from
the black spots which usually appeared
on the person of the sufferer. These
spots were symptomatic putrid decom
position, and their appearance was nearly
always fatal sign. Beginning with in
hammstory bolts and tumors, the black
death prod1ced stupor, mental affections,
and palsy of the tongue, the last gener
ally becoming black, as if sufused with
blood. The characteristics of the disease
were burning, uusiakab thirst, pains in
the chest, splitting of blood, aud fetid
breath. This pestilence attacked Europe
IN mild form in 1912, and may be
traced as moving in the wake of the
numerous caravan routes from the East.
Spreading from the ncrta coast of the
Black Sea to Constsutiuopie, end thence
to Itsiy, ii radieted from there By many
routes over the whole of Europe Wher-
ever it appeared it committed such fear
full ravagee as materially to check the
increase OF population; in Chins the
deaths from this disease we're estimated
g. il, coo, 900, and the rest of the Eaest
lost nearly $4,000 900, while a moderate
calculation puts the loss in Europe at 25,
100000. London and Venics lost 100000
inhabitants each, and Paris, Florence
and Norwich half that number apiece

lsborers; and in consequence great rise
n wages. Professor Thorold Rogers,
who has Investigated the economic bear
ings of this disease very thoroughly, ssates
that the working classes we're at no time
so we'll of in England as during the
period which immediately followed the
ravapes of the black death in the four
teenth century. Il is never knoSn to
have made its appearance since then.

Evils of Cslt Training,

Much has been written and more said
about early development-the training of
Young stock-and varied have been the
opinions of those most oalculat ed to learn,
from observation, its good or evil effects.
While ouc experience has been limited, we
have our ideas upon the subject, aud as
We aim in other things TIC reduce them to
what might be termed a common sense
basis. All know that young bones aud
tissues differ from the mature not only
in size, bat in q abstance; and uDdeVeloped
tissues in the young cannot be forced to
maturity by feeding, training or other
process. While there may be an advance
toward maturity, and the tissues strength
Ell, we think This process limited, IS
Nature has ordained otherwise. 1t Is then
reduced to mans judgment, aud 1t Is to
the good judgment of trainers, to theli
observation ard careful handling of the
Youngsters, that We think their succt So Is
due. In the first place, a proper selection
must be made, then keen observation and
good Judgment must be exercised as to
the amount Of training or development
each individual will require. All know
the effects of the handbag of young
stock, and of getting them accustomed to
the pr essence of man; all know that early
impressions are lasting. Now the qnes-
ton is, lust how far this can be carried
with each individual. This necessarily
falls upon the trainer, apd failure or sue
cess depends upon his judgment as to
how much each individual will stand, with
Improvement to some and of ho bepetit to
others.

Raise the Kitchen Stove.
Mail and FXpreSS.

We have made p discovery lately, which
it seems nov we ought to have made
sooner, that the top of the average kitch-
en- stove Is too little elevated above the
floor, and that there is in consequences
good deal of back ache aud other discom-
fort inf cted upon the cook because
SO much of her work has to be done In
stopping posture. Rather we should
say, perhaps, that we have discovered a
remedy for the trouble which We have
borne for many years, and which we
hasten to make known to Others IN the
hope of lessening their troubles. Our
remedy is simply lifting the stove upon
platform, which will raise 1t to such
height that will bring the cooking
utensils, when on the stove, within
easy reach to one standing in an
erect or nearly erect posture. In our
case this required platform about zine
inches in de pth, and to save the trouble
and expense of procuring carpenter to
puild it We secured An empty packing
box OF the eouisite size fro n tbs grocer,
at a cost of only ten cents. Brushed
over with some staining material CORES
ponding with the color of the floor, our
platform looked neat, ana as though an
established part of the room. The only
additional OK pense involved was that of
adjusting the stove-pipe to the new
conditions. The top of the stove Is now
as high as the kitchen table, or little
higher, and the cook and every one who
has occasion to use the stove are delight
ed with the change, and this greatly light
ened labor.

CHAPTER XIV.

There was one season in London when
people were all talking of a new man"
who had made his entry into public life.
He was q Mr. Dale, of Ravensdale, who
had been recently returned as NJ p. for
TSverton. At first Tories, and then Lib
erals, had tried to ignore him, but he was
becoming power among the people. He
could be ignored no longer. He had made
one of the most brilliant speeches ever de-
livered in the House of Commons.
'If he would but become one of usl' said
the great Tory leader, with sigh.
'lf w" could hrt vet him over on our
side, sald the Liberal cher.
But Mr.. Dale had taken q Zine OF his
own, and he adhered to it. He was the
poor mans frieRd-some of his speeches
were one long burning TRADE against the
rich and their treatment of the poor He
was prejudiced and bigoted but his won
dertul eloqueuce, his passionate words,
carried with them a certain force of con-
viction. He was rich himself-master of
a fine estate-but he was no aristocrat
He thanked Heaven that he had sought TO
buy no mans soul With gold Shrewd
men, who read his speeches, said there
must be a secret attached to his life; he
could not hate the aristoeracy so much
unless he had suffered through one Of
them.
But no one even family guessed that he
hated the sristocracy because an aristo-
GRAFT had tempted his fair young wife to
leave him.
He had become one OF the leading men
of the day-s power and voice in the
land. Lord Carlswood, who was a great
sdmirer of talent, admired him. although
he deplorsd his principles.
He has not only talent. that man." he
said, referring TO him. ''he has positive
genius. | admire him even for his honest
hatred: but wish that his talents were all
enlisted on our sids-I wish that he were
one of us"
People talked a great deal OF him. It was
said that. although he was so fierce . DEM

Combat Between the japanese Prince Imperi
and an American Bow

and an American Boy
When he was only years old, says St
Nicholas, Prince Hsru had an uneI pected
wrestling match with a small American
boy uf his own age. 1t was at a school
Prince Haru noticing that the yonng
American kept on his Tam O'Shauter cap
in the princely presence.
$50 and tell that boy to take off his
hat" ordered the small prince to his aid
de camp.
Before the officer could reach the often
der the insuitei princeliDg slipped from
his chair, strobe down, and knocked off
the hat witn his own hand. Young Amer
lea never stopped to think who the sggres-
sor was but struck back, and in a few
minutes the future emperor and one of
our future presidents had clinched and
were Shaping and pounding each other
in the most democratic manner. The
Mortified mobiles of the princes suite aud
the frightened parents of the young
American separated them and led them
apart, neither oombatan5 feeling any re
greet for what he had done.
"That boy slapped me frat, when 1
vast doing anything TO him!" persisted
the young American, whose parents were
almost expecting to be arrested or be-
headed for the unprecedented treatment
of such sacred being as the imperial
crown prince.
II have panished that boy for his i'm
poiitepess in wearing his hat in my pres
ence," said the pom pous priHceling,
frowning at his suite, tightening his little
sword-beit and strUtting up and down
like a young same-cock.
The tabIesux and exercises went on
quietly after that prelude, aud when sup
perfume came Prince Hsru was seen eat

elbow with his late opponent, and gsllspt-

Simple Life Best for Children.

Happiness is the nataral condition of
avery normal child, and if the small boy
ur girl has peculiar faculty for any one
thing il is for elf-entertainment, with
certain granted conditions, OF course.
One of these is physical freedom and
few rude and simple playthiags. Agree
able occupation is as great necessity
for children as for adalts, and beyond this
almost nothing can be contributed to the
happiness of child. 81 try SO hard TO

naturally, only directing their growth
properly. She has always thrown them
as far as practicable, upon their own re-
sources, taught them to wait upon them
seves-no matter how many servants she
had-and to construct their own play
things. When she returns home from an
absence they await bat one thing their
mothers kiss. Whatever has been bought
for them is bestowed when the needed
time comes. Nothing exciting is allowed
TO them at night, go to ped and TO sleep
in a wholesome mental state that makes
restful s!amber. They are taught to love
nature and feel that there is nothing az
rayed so finally as the lily of the field,
the bees and the butterflies; that there is
nothing so mean as lie, nor nothing so
miserable as disobedience; that it is a
disgrace to be sick, and that good health,
good teeth aid good temper come from
plain food, plenty of sleep and being
good" In order to thrive children require
a certain amount of letting alone"
Supreme faith in the mother, few toys,

to bed are the best things for making
them happy.

many CT the hiener mental attributes
possessed by man. An analysis of the
human intellect shows distinct and we'll
defined faculties, and when We turn to
the horse We find these duplicated. The
memory of events is one of the leading
attributes of the human mind. and this is
strongly illustrated in the horse. The
same is true of locality, and who will
pretend that the man is not far more
liable to get lost-lose his bearings in
the forest OF on the plain-than is the
horse?
The horse takes cognizance of form,
color and size, all being intellectual fac
uities In man. And may 1t not be that
the horse can count? 1t has been proven
that Other animals do count. And can it
be said that the horse cannot distinguish
between melody and discords The war
horse Is known 70 learn the difference
between the different bugie calls, and
when call indicates that he Is to take
part, the response Is more than human
in its prom ptitude. The horse Is charmed
by music, and this is tue OF many other
animals, as is well known, even as loV
down the scale "a the mouse and the
snake. The horse marches to music Is
exhilerateG by enlivening strains, aud
quIckens his step when the notes call for
this.
Going deeper into the mental percep-
tions of the horse-thst is, taking the
range of the sentiments we find the
horse to have spprobativeness strongly
developed. Tones of approval sre
quickly distinguished from tones of CEN
sure. His cautiousness, firmness and
kindly feelings are the oouuterparts of
like sentiments in the master. He has
vivid recollection of the acts of abuse,
and likewise of acts of kindness, and iu-
stances are numerous where these are
known 20 have been repaid in kind. Il
hes been established that horse can re-
member for a period of two or three
years the voice of his master, though
hearing it without seeing its source. So,
in seeking for high auallties IN the horse,
we must seek for a high order of inteli-
geuce, for the former, if of nigh grade,
must go hand in hand with the latter.

FARM AND HOME
SIX LITTLE FEET ON THE FENDER.
co.SELLA W. ST. JOHN.

In my heart there hveth a picture
OF kitchen rude and old
Where the fire trippled DER the rafters
And Redeemed the roofs brown mould,
Gil ding the steam from the kettle
That hummed on the foot worn hearth.
Through all the livelong evening,
Its measure Of drUwsy mlrth.
Because of the three light shadows
That frescoed that rude, old room;
Because OF the voices echoed
Up mid the rafters' gloom;
Because of the feet on the fender
Six restless, white little feet
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen
Are to me 20 fresh and sweet.
When the first dash on the window
Told OF the coming rain,
Oh. where the fair young faces
That crowded against The panes
Whiie bits of firelgnt stealing
Their dimple cheeks between
Went struggling out in the darkness
In shreds Of siiver-green.
Two of the feet grew weary,
One dreary, dismal day,
And We tied them with snow-white ribbons,
Leaving them by the way.
There was fresh clay on the fender,
That dark aud rainy night,
For the four little feet had tracked it
From his grave on the brown hills height
Oh why on this darksome evening
This evening of rain or S Get
Rest my feet all alone on this hearthstones
On, where are those other feetI
Are they treading the pathway OF virtue,
That will lead US together above:
Or have they made steps that will dampen
A sisters tireless lover

Is Il Intelligence or Instinct ?
Prairie Farmer.

Following up points raised regarding
desirable qualities in the horse when
wanted in places of trust, so to speak, it
is we'll that we settle the question, if we
can, as TO whether the higher attributes
belonging to the horse arise from instinct
o. intelligence. If our dependence for
high qualities is upon Intelligence, then
we can breed il, and rest assured that
through breeding We can secure it If,
on the other hand, we must depend upon
instinct, will some one tell Us how to pro
coed to make hea iway, or, in other words,
can we train instinct 10 perform acts of
intelligence, or must training be accom-
plished through the intelligence possess
"a BY the animal, obtaining great results,
when, through breeding inteliigently, we
have secured great ENDORSEMENTS, and
mesgre results when we have q stupid
scrub to practice our arts uponY
Let Us see If We can arrive at clear
understanding as to whether there Is
defiuable difference between intelligence
and instinct. Webster defines IT stinct as
an upreaeoRing prompting to action,
without distinct apprehension OF the
end or obi ect which ia ure has designed
should be accom- Pushed thereby. Il is
further stated that ends are reached ''by
force of instinct without reasoning, in
struction or experience" As stated by
Psiey, instinct Is propensity prior II
experience snd independent of instruc
ton Whately says: ''Instinct is
blind tendency TO some mole of action,
independent of ary instruction on the
part of the agent, of the end 20 which
the action leads" These are all clear
cut definitions. They harmonic with
everyday obs srvations, and point uumis-
taksbIy to the distinct line dawn between
instinct and Intelligence.
The horses movements are Ike those
of mis- msstsr-governed by previous OBJ
serTation and experience, and these move
ments are entirely unlike anything We
can expect from mere instinct Opinion
cuts no fgurs when in conflict without
carefully made observation upon horses
showing vile differences in degrees of in
telIS ence, aud equally wide differences IN
the results obtained through training.
Human reason is unequal to the task of
proving that the horse does not possess
