Unhook That Check-Rein.

In 80 cases out of 100, those who apply
cannot give you any intelligent reason
for its use, further than that it was with
the harness when they bought it and is
fashionable to have it. Every other
horse you will meet on the streets of a
city is either standing hitched with his
face turned up to the hot sun, the flies
swarming about his eyes, mouth and
ears, with no power to defend himself, or
moving along in perfect misery from his
head being pulled up to an unnatural po-
sition. If drivers who insist that their
horse does not travel well, or it is in the
habit of stumbling, or is liable to kick if
his head is not reined up, would have the
judgment or sufficient supply of the
milk of human kindness to throw off the
check when they stop, the cruelty and
harm would be greatly lessened, but very
few of them ever think so far and nearly
every hour in the day one can find scores
of poor animals standing in the sun, suf-
fering all the tortures of the rack or pill
lory, while their master is within enjoy
ing himself, with no thought or care for
the welfare of his mute and faithful SER
wants. Many owners and drivers of
horses will confess that their animals
work better and do better when allowed
to carry the head in natural position,
but they check them for looks. What a
mistaken idea! All men admire. high
style if it is natural, but when horses
head is pulled higher than his formation
justifies, he shows it in every movement
and, instead of adding to his beauty, it
greatly detracts from it in the eyes of ev-
cry man that is judge of FORM Amer

James Russell Lowell studied law at
Harvard and was admitted to the bar in
1841; he never practiced, however, for
saking, as have so many others, legal in
tricacies for the more alluring call of let
ters. But Lowell's law studies enriched
and broadened his literary style and so
were indirectly valuable to him. His
first volume of poems, "a Years Life"
appeared in 1S41 and, three years later.
he married Maria White, the gifted wom-
an who largely inspired those first fruits
of his muse and was herself a poet of
acknowledged merit. In 1S43, he began
to edit, with Robert Carter, the Boston
literary magazine known as the Pioneer,
of which only three numbers appeared,
owing to the failure of the publishers

The centennial of Mother Roberts OF

the fact that she was born on the banks
OF the Housatonic river and named Anise
Sharp, her twin brother being John w.
Sharp. Anise was married at Monroe.

rather and sons are dead and Mrs Rob-
ertsis living with nj. H. Peters, a New
Orleans orphan whom one of her sons
befriended. The family enlisted in the
Mormon crusade, Mr. Roberts being a
Mormon elder and dying while en- route
to help Brigham Young establish Salt
Lake City. Mrs Roberts is still firm
Mormon, though no believer in polyga~
nous marriages. The Chicago Herald
gives this account of the present condit-
ion of Mrs Roberts: sShe is a woman of
wonderful vitality and cheerful disposit-
ion. In her youth, she was considered
great beauty ahd had a charming voice,
which rang with sweet melody when she
sang the songs of Auld Lang Syne, even
after she had attained her 90s. She ncv-
er wore glasses and one of the rules of
her life was to read two chapters of the
Bible every day. This practice she de-
voutly pursued until about two years ago
when her sight began to fail her so that
even the largest print became illegible
and she laid her treasured old volume re-
gretfully aside. Although quite feeble,
rendered the more so from an accidental
fall sustained last Spring while crossing
the room, her general health is good.''

James Russell Lowell was in a rare and
noble sense a representative American.
He had the culture of the schools, but he
had besides great native strength and
marked individuality of nature. In his
veins ran the best blood of section of
the country which was the breeder of
lofty and athletic souls. His poetry is
characterized by originality of express
sion, real imagination and prodigal dis
play of reading held in solution. He has,
in the opinion of Mr. Stedman, ''given us
our best native idyl, our best and most
complete work in dialectic verse and the
noblest heroic ode that America has pro-
duced." In prose, his essays stand
unique and easily first; she is our most
learned and brilliant critic.'' Perhaps
his permanent reputation as man of let
ters will rest most securely upon the
work he has done in the critical literary
essay; work as truly creative as any kind
whatsoever Courant.

The Episcopal church's only real
chance of powerful life is in the more
and more complete identification of her.
self with the genius and national life of
America. To do that, she must become
great moral power. No careful preser-

ness of ecclesiastical propriety can take
the place of moral strength. 1t is by the
conscience that the church must take
