such a bit of headgear. 1t consists OF
old-lace- -colored guipure over a round
form gathered In the center and set of
with large bow Of double-faced ribbon,
to which you add lace loops. Such a
hat Is suitable for young married
woman and should be worn with an
ivory-white gown trimmed with the
same guipure. Now you return to your
room and dress for breakfast, which
toilet must be several degrees more ele-
giant, but yet kept within the bounds OF
refined simplicity. This costume suf-

putting on a carriage hat, you go fol

Evo.ut,on of the Race-Horse.

In so far as creature endowed
with life can owe it's existence to
human hands, the race-horse may be
said to be man-made. Horses were
an important factor In early nomadiC
life, and were cherished by their
owners. and the progress of civiliza-
tion, so far from breaking this bond,
has apparently strengthened it. The
animal is not now so essential to hui
man welfare and convenience; science
has furnished other means of trans
portation, aud is in fair way to take
all the heavy loads from his back;
but in the degree that he ceases to
be mere beast of burden he is trans
formed into source OF entertain
ment and pleasure. From a rough
and hardy creature, subsisting on such
rations as chance and convenience
might provide, and suffering the hard
ships and hazards of toll and adven-
ture, he has gradually evolved into a
combination of nerves, intelligence,
and trained muscle that has but q
family likeness to his early progen.

THE suit brought in indianapolis
asking that receiver be appointed
for the Order of the Iron Hall is Of
interest to great many people be-
sides the members Of that particular
organization. The growth of "fra-
ternal organizations" in the past
twenty years has been remarkably
rapid, and they have collected vast
sums Of money, which have been paid
out to the sick and to the widows and
orphans OF those who have died; and
much larger sums must be paid out
to the members now living when
their policies become due. The COM
petition for business that has natur-
ally resulted from the multiplication
of these orders has induced some Of
them to offer great inducements to
the public to become members, and,
in some cases at least, to promise
more than there is any probability
that they will be able to perform.
Among the new features that have
been added for the purpose of making
some Of these schemes attractive is
the endowment system-a promise to
pay definite sum at the expiration
of certain number of years to the
member himself. This Is a legiti-
mate branch of insurance, II it be
conducted on a proper basis, but
many of these endowment orders have
proved failures, either through dis
honest management, or because un-
der the system adopted it was impos-
sible to accumulate money to pay the
endowments when they fell due.

Notes.

WHOLE and cracked corn induces
collie In horses, because 1t is not prop
erly masticated.
ESTABLISH a reputation in your
community for good horses, and buy
ers will be plentiful.
SEE that the blessed sunshine Is
not kept out of the stalls. Few sta
bles have enough of it.
MARES should have access to grass
some little time before fOaling. Liv-
ing on dry feed during the winter
takes the elasticity out Of the mus
cles.
IT is very desirable that colts be
thoroughly handled and halter-broken
before they are year old. This will
make them gentle and fearless after
ward.
DON'T forget that box stall is
much better than long narrow one
for the horses, especially when they
have worked hard all day. You like a
wide bed; so does horse.
DON'T go back on your neighbor. II
he owns stallion Of the blood and
style you desire to breed your mare to,
give him the preference. Keep on
friendly relationship with him.
The man who is awfully particular
to have his fine mare bred to fine
horse and then gives the colt a poor
showing is wanting sadly in the
characteristics Of good horseman.
THE man who thinks of breeding
trotters in this country need not con-
slider the climate SO much as the
blood, the science of breeding, and
the correct development Of his horses.

Nearly all OF our trotting horses

snowy, but the excessive expenditure
OF animal force Is not exerted. In the
proper direction for speed. On the

Quire the high action and breed for
it, and pay well for horses OF this
mode OF going. They even compel
excessively high knee action by tho
