DR.. Leahy. horse-trainer, SAYS: when
a horse stops and proposes to turn around
don't resist the turn, but give HIM quiet
horizontal pull in the direction he wants
to turn, 80 as to carry him further around
than he intended to go. and. if possible,
keep him going around half dozen times.
In most cases this will upset all his
calculations. and no will go quietly
on without much ako. If Six turns will
not do. give him twenty. In fact, If he
will keep on turning to your rein, you are
confuse him and leave HIM at your CON-
mand. If he will not turn. and will back
to the rein, keep him going backward in
the direction you want TO go. He will
soon get tired of that and prefer to go
with the right end forward, but before you
let him go give him decidedly more back

Asking would part

The Dead Baby Bait.
rTha Contennorary Review. I

There is in England O herd Of cruel.
reckless married and unmarried creatures
with maternal organism, whom for morbid
yillainy toward their young hot looded
and cold blooded beasts and reptiles fail
to supply figures of speech to describe,
and there are males to match them.
They are lazy as sloths, lustful as
monkeys, crafty as serpents, savage as
tigers. Some bet, some drink, some curse,
some lie, and thew have babies. They feel
"in luck" when their child is sick. They
have no patience with the slow ways of
death. They know 1.-THE poor mothers ="
frIends-syrups. and rat powder, and bis
cults. In all death ways they are clever. For
1.-THE convenience of the agent" they may
leave their pennies to be taken mp at another
PERSONS house "a superintendent OF So
ciety said at an inquest that 1t was not an
uncommon thing for collectors to take
pennies for seven or eight policies at one
housed. They know, too. the busy dlspen--
saries, which to 90 to. the time to 60, and
what to say.
And that child of such should die Is
nothing to the insurance society's collect
or. Possibly if the base-hearted were more
numerous it would be found to be some
thing to him. But as it is it is business.
I've bait our hook with dead child"
said candid agent to the writer. am
glad OF q funeral; LOOK out ior one, saiu
another. II get business by funerals
Some of the employers of these men will
lift up their hands in pious horror at the
singular NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of these state
ments. A correspondent of an insurance
agents. journal, evidently himself an agent,
flashes q good light on their reason.
"Offices must have increase" he says,
"and the Superintendent may. be very
honest man and person who wishes 10 do
what Is right, but he must be blind to
everything but increase"
But how can it pay? / am not concern
ed with how it can pay. l do not know
that it does. The whole business of the
Office pays, and this part of it may be
what the fading of ribbons and dresses
in his window is to a draper, o
necessary expenditure in advertising
himself. 1t pays on the whole.
For aught know. the abolition Of the
present system of lnfantile insurance
might turn out to be the best thing that
could have happened to thesocieties them
selves. The scale of payments to them
seems to have been fixed to allow all sorts
of large margins for expenses of working,
dead baby bait included. Any way, it is
clear that ordinary infantile mortality is
not always sufficient to mako business 60,
nor is the extraordinary sufficient to stop
