Lake shore spurs which ran across its right-of-
way to the mills and laid sidetraek of heavy

A Fire Department Horse Thoroughly
Cured of a Serious Disease.

"Dick," $500 grey horse belonging TO the fire
department and running with hose wagon No.

having had rsst for several months. The ami
NAL was wounded in the right forefoot while
going TO a IRE. and the result OF the injury was
a quittor-a disease just above the base of the
hoof. II was thought for time that the horse
would never recover, and the ACCESSIBILITY OF
killing him was considered. several veterinary
surgeons treated him, but in vain, and they
gave up poor ''Diek" as dead horse The
quittor had so developed that probe could be
passed from the top of the foot 10 the hoof in
half dozen different directions. The foo. was
apparently useless. Drs. Green and Nugent, the
veterinary surgeons who have Offices in the
Quincy Cab Compauys stables, were consulted
just month ago and they Immediately CON-
menced treating the animal. The horse is now
as well and strong as ever, and has not depreci-
ated af all in value

80, Ethel | had such an experience
with Jack yesterday on that coach ride. +"
'NNith Jack, Bessie?"
YES. You know we rode inside. OF
course everybody laughed at the idea of
our riding inside alone when there were
two vacant seats on the outside for us;
but Jack had made me promise early in
the morning that would say that | had
a cold and must ride inside, otherwise
he said he would sit with that horrid
Smith girl, you know. So just had to
do as he wanted to keep him from her. +"
''Yes, dear, l know" and she smiled.
"Well, he behaved real well until we
got on that lonely stretch of road
through the woods, and then he Just
threw his great big strong arm around
my waist, and with his other hand he
held my face while he kissed me again
and again, until quite lost my breath

exhausted and couldn't struggle any

everyone in the hotel?"
"She knew it anyhow At my sug-

to see what you were doing. You were
so quiet you know. He saw what was

ABOUT PILLOWS.
Some Objections to Those in UsO iu Thi,

Some Objections to Those in Uso iu This
Country.
The use of pillow is not matter of
mere blind usage. 1t has physiolog-
! ical basis. We sleep, for the most
| part, on the side, and without pillow
the head would be uncomfortably and
harmfully lower than the body.
1t will be remembered that Jacob,
when fleeing from Esau, took stone
for pillow. He needed something
FOR the purpose, and nothing better
than u stone presented itself. Such
practices are common in Africa at the
present day. Bishop Taylor probably
found it convenient, if not necess ary,
to take up with them in his travels in
that land; for on his return to this
country he rejected the soft pillows of
his friendly hosts, and, sometimes at
least, substituted one of books.
Some people rest the neck instead of
the head on hard pillows, In Africa
extraordinary headgears make this
practice necessary, and many IL civ
ilized woman has been compelled by n
somewhat similar coiffure to forego
both the pillow and the recumbent
posture
A consideration of the physiological
reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness. They should merely
bring the head to a natural level. Some
pillows are much too thick. BY bend
ing the neck unduly, they interfere
with the outflow of the venous blood
from the head. The pillow that just
fills up the space above the shoulder
best suits its end.
Again, pillows of feathers are obiec-
tionable While they furnish the
needed support for the head, they are
too heating, as they have Il remarkable
| capacity for holding and accommodating
| heat.
1t should be remembered that more
blood, and hence more heat, goes to
the head than to any other part of the
body. Head-heating pillows are against
the wholesome maxim: keep the feet
warm, but the head cool" There is
nothing better than the hair pillow.
Further, the pillow is for the head,
nor for the shoulders. To rest the
shoulders on the pillow defeats the very
end for which it is used.
Finally, special care should be taken
of infants in this matter. We have
seen their heads sunken deep in the
softest and thickest of pillows, and
! their faces, as natural consequence,
covered with great beads of perspira-
| ton. 1t is no wonder that children SC

A new and attractive coiffure is the
Greek fillet Thick hair of medium
length is most suitable for this style Of
hairdressing, but it can also be made by
adding false locks. The hair is not
parted but combed back, small tuft

on the top of the head as SEEN The
hair strand is then braided half the
length the ends arranged in five or six
curls, and the braided part pinned up
