A worthy Example.

In one of the pleasantest streets of
Portland, Me-, stands roomy and at
tractive house, the pretty dooryard Of
which is inclosed by some slight iron
railing. But the gate is either always
open or removed altogether. This OF
course leaves the plants and shrubbery
at the mercy of every passing dog and
street gamin, but as you approach more
nearly the seeming carelessness is ex-
planned. The house is furnished with
Sebago water, and from the basement a
pipe projects through the wall into the
yard at the corner of the house nearest
the street.
Above this spout, on the house wall,
appear the words, "Water for horses"
Any person driving along the street
truckman, huckster, peddler, coachman
or ragman-is at liberty to enter the
dooryard and draw water for his horse
and himself, and many poor, tired

not being oversupplied with public
drinking troughs for horses and dogs,
and there being none whatever in that
neighborhood.
The arrangement hurts the appear
ance of the house, which is the abode of
plenty and refinement; it spoils the door

Of bloom all summer; it calls some crit

dreadful and dreaded word "crank" to
be applied to the gentle and kindly lady
of the house; but it has blessed the
WEAKNESS and thirst of many four

planted in many needless souls the first
germ Of kindness to animals; it has set
O valuable and bepefcent example be-
fore the townspeople, and it has shown

When Doctors We're slaves.

Romans of means had physicians
in their own houses. These men
We're slaves, for, odd as it seems,
many Roman slaves were accom-,
plished in literature, art and science.
Al one time the selling price of a
slave doctor was about the equiva-
lent of $500 in our money,
After the time of Julius Caesar,
who encouraged physicians, the art
began TO lift its head" in Rome, and
later men of character and position,
though generally foreigners, entered
the profession. Some of them &C.
cumulated large fortunes, and one
made the equivalent of at least $500,

A young woman answered an adver-

the house seemed pleased with her. But
before engaging her there were some
questions to ask.

Tho Art OF Making Hay.

How and when men first learned
to make hay will probably never he
known. For haymaking is proc
ess," and the product is not simply
sun dried grass, but grass which has
been partly fermented, and is ns
much the work of mems hands as
flour or cider. Probably its dis
covery was due to accident, but pos
sibly man learned it from the pikas,
the calling hares" of the steppes,
which cut and stack hay for the
winter. That idea would fit in nicely
with the theory that central Asia
was the home Of the Aryan race, "

Hair Attracted Attention.
In Albuquerque. N NJ. one night
they pointed out a white haired
young fellow and told me how 1t
came about that his hair was white
He was gambler by profession
and happened to be in one of the
frontier towns at time when the
business was getting rather danger
Gus. A moral wave had swept over
the place and the authorities were
running the gamblers in right and
left. This man was caught and put
into Jail with a couple of horse
thieves and several others of his own
class.
Death is the penalty for horse
stealing in the camps, and in this
case they seemed not overparticular
whether some stray sheep got mixed
in with thieves or not. About mid
night the sheriff entsed and led one
of the men out. Pretty sooD he re-
turned with another fellow.
what did you say the sisters
name wae2" asked one well, write
it down. Mebbe she'll want some
thing done with the body"
Then another fellow was led out,
and when the sheriff and his assist
ants returned they held another
whispered consultation concerning
certain relatives. Then they took
another man out, returned and did
the whispering act again. And SO it
continued. The strain on the fel
lows who were left behind was in
tense. They knew that each man
taken out by the sheriff went to his
death, and the thought of who would
be next was enough to drive man
crazy.
The night wore away end the
young man referred to wGs the last
to be taken. He was conducted to a
bridge outside the town, 6. rope was
placed around his neck and then he
was swung off. The vigilantes pulled
him up at once, however. and as he
gaspingly recovered fellow whis-
pered in his ear
I'VE are going to take vote on
this business, " he said. You are a
young man, and some Of us feel sorry
for you, but remember, If we let you
go you will have to leave the town. y
The promise was made quickly
enough and the man continued,
Look here, I'll cut this rope, and
while we are voting you clear out.
The job was done, and with his
neck still smarting from the strain
of the rope the young man ran for
the brush. He wandered around in
the chaparral till morning, and in
the early dawn came to a ravine.
He wandered along this locking for
some water with which to bathe his
wounds, and on rounding q curve
beheld camp fire.
Seated in a row before it were all
the men who had been in the jail.
Each had been given the same
chance. Chicago Mail.

A certain old lady relates that some
where in the late forties she was travel
ing from Buffalo to Wisconsin territory
upon one of the great lake steamers
which conveyed the living tide of emf
grafton from Europe and eastern states
to the west. In the saloon of the crowd
ed steamer she observed man sitting
alone, most of the time absorbed in
reading. He had light hair, almost
SANDY" fair, rather freckled face and
a spare figure. He was carelessly
dressed and his trousers did not quite
reach the tops of his blue socks. He
left the boat at Sheboygan,' little
settlement upon Lake Michigan. The
mans name was Horace Greeley. He
was on his way to a hamlet in the
country where resided his brother, who
was member of Fourier community.

There is no doubt that man is a fine
mechanism. but like every other ma
chine he wears out by friction. 1t is
said that he is born again every two or
three years. His body is virtually re-
made from food. To retard this max
ing over is radically wrong, as man
loses SO much vitality in the delayed
process that it takes long time to re-
cuperate. The process of making anew
is so accelerated by purging with Brand
reths Pilln that now man, as it were,
may be mado in two or three months,
and the change in tho mechanism is
such that tho worn out part is replaced
by the new without the usual running
down OF tho entire machine. You
don have to stop for repairs. Purge
away with Brandreth's Pills the old, dis
eased and worn out body. They are
purely vegetable, absolutely harmless,
and safe to take at any time.
