Scicnce No AID to BeautY.

Tho air Of physical refinement, which is
what continuous culture should give, Is
precisely the air which is often lacking
among the cultivated as it is also in many
nristocratic families. Indeed, though caste
must mean more or less hereditary culture,
it is doubtful II 1t secures beauty. 1t does
not in the royal hosses, and in any rcgi-
ment, though an officer or two will prob
ably stand first, the proportion Of splendid
men will be found greater among the
non-commissioned than tho commissi oned
officers. Science can no more make a
Circassien than one legged race, ard
the physical attributes, like the grace
Of God, are independent of thinking. If
they were not we should some day have

HACKNEY HORSE SOCIETY. =
American Uorsemcn Arc to Go in for
Hackney Breeding.


Hackney Breeding.
DR.. William Seward Webb, Of New
York, secretary Of tho newly formed
Hackney Horse association, issues the
following circular to those interested in
the rearing and improvement of this fine
saddle and coach animal:
The books Of the American Hackney
Horse society being now open, the secre-
tary will be pleased to receive applica-
cations for entry Of horses in volume i
of the american Hackney Stud Book, "
to be issued in July of the present year.
1t is the wish of the directors that in
formation regarding the objects Of the
society be brought TO the attention Of
reliable breeders and owners Of hackney
horses, with view of securing their in
terest and cooperation.
There is no doubt that the hackney
comes to fill long existent want for u
fine harness horse, and in the next
twenty years its breeding will be fol
lowed closely in this country with view
of placing it in the front rank among
coacbers as well as saddlers. There will
also be a great demand for books about
them and lists Of places where they can
be purchased, and besides the protection
Of the breed by registration Of them in
its stud book it Will be one Of the ob-
jects of the society to spread broadcast
information about the horse and its uses
so as 10 make Americans as familiar
with the type as they are with the trot-
ter and thoroughbred.
BY a perusul Of the constitution you
will notice that the society is established
mot for gain" but to improve the breed
and promote the breeding Of the hack
ney, to compile and publish a stud book,
and to hold shows, etc. 1t will also be
noticed that the best element in the n a
tional Horse Show association, the
Riding club and the Coaching club i.
represented on our membership list, and
we believe there is strong reason to hope
that the society viii obtain in a very
short time in this country the influence
and standing of the parent organization
in Europe.
1t will he noticed that the qualifca
tions for entry arc drawn on very gcncr
Gus lines, as the idea Is to bring int,
registry every animal ;aat can be elias
/ sihed as a hackney at the present time il
the country. Later ON, il it is deemed
! advisable, the requirements for registrl
will be rs exact rs in the European stuC
book. 1t will be seen that no horse breC
/ in Europe can be registered in the Amer
/ lean stud book unless it is fully regis
tered in the English stud book, and tn,
transfer certificate from the English STUD
book must accompany the application il
every instance. send you one Of ON
application forms for entry Of mare an,

that for horses foalcd in the United
States the requirements are IA strict d.

all the points necessary to make the rec
ord most reliable.

A MEMORY.

The path FROM me 10 you that led,
rntrodden long, With grass is grown,
Mute carpet that his lieges spread
Before the Prince obliviep
When ne goes Visiting the dead.
And who arc they but who forget'
You, who my coming could surrnIse
Ere any hint Of mo as yet
Warned other ears and other eyes,
Sec the path blurred without regret.
But when I trace its windngs sweet
With saddened steps, ut every spot
That feels the memory in my feet,
Each grass blade turns forgetme-not,
Where rnur1nuring bees your name repeat.

There are 600 or 100 bulls and TOO TO 500
cows Of this breed in America at the
present time. They are scattered all
over the United States; but probably
most are owned in Connecticut, though
not the finest herds. They will not su-
pcrscdo amy other breed in my cstima-
tloa They occupy Il position alone as
general purporc cattle for beef, milk and
butter They are excellent for crossing
with other cattle, whether native stock
or any & the other breeds. We claim
for the brown Swiss cattle:
First, That they have healthy and
vigorous constitutions For, bred in a
mountain r'gion and accustomed to
Craze on Alpine heights to the very limit
Of suitableY vegetation, they have for gen
elatiOns been Injured TO cold and storms
until they have acquired the capablity
Of resisting their injurious effects. They
have not been injured by fancy feed
ing Imported animals refuse to eat
grain on their arrival in America.
Second, That they have been carefully
bred for years for their milk qualities.
Their remarkable persistence in marked
points denotes Enthusiastically the iutcg-
rity and purity of the breed. Switzer-
land is Admitted by the best authorities
to furnish excellent and rich pastures,
and its dairying reputation is unques-
Gonable, especially that for cheese,
Third, That for beef purposes they
cannot be excelled. Calves when dropped
are larger and stronger than those Of
any other breed we have ever seen.
They develop rapidly and mature early.

ca,arrh, not Local. bu, constitutional.

Or. Do Lewis the eminent Boston physician
in a magazine article says: "A radical error un-
derlies nearly all treatment of catarrh. II is not
a disease Of the nose, II Is diseas. of the man
showing itself In the nose local exhibition Of
constitutional trouble" Therefore he argues
the use of snuff and other local applications Is
wrong. and while they seem to give temporary
relief, they really do more harm than good
other leading authorities agree with Dr Lewis
Hence, the ouv proper method OF cure for
CAtarrh Is 10y taking constitutional remedy like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. which reaching every part
of the body through the blood, does eliminate all
Impurities and makes the whole man healthier
II removes the cause Of the trouble and restores
the diseased membrane To proper condition
That this is the practical result is proven by
thousands of people who have been cured Of
catarrh by taking Hood s Sarsaparilla.
