No Longer an Experiment.

The kindergarten is no longer an ex-
pertinent. 1t is not now on the defen-

philanthropic side. 1t is rather for those
who igno1antly oppose the kindergarten
to show cause for their opposition in the
face of the almost unanimous approval
of experts and the enthusiastic indorse-
ment of all that part of the general pub
lie who have had the opportunity of be-
coming familiar with its methods and

The Smallest Painting.

Probably the smallest painting ever
made was the work Of the wife of a
Flemish artist. It depicted a mill with
the sails bent, the miller mounting the
stairs with a sack of grain on his back.
Upon the terrace where the mill stood
a cart and horse, and in the road
leading to it several peasants were shown.
The picture was beautifully finished,
and every object was very distinct. yet
it was SO amazingly small that its sur
face could be covered with a grain Of
corn.-New York Press.

AMERICAN BEAUTY.
COMPARATIVE MEASUREMENTS OF

The California Young Nader Is Claimed

Comparisons us to Feet.
A sculptor's ideal of beauty is evolved
on mathematical principles. A perfect
woman is Z or u or s heads tall; her
shoulders arc two heads wide; her legs
are 81 to 81 heads long: her waist is 8
heads in circumference. But the size Of
heads varies III women who are equally
perfect in shape: the head of the Venus
de Medici is nearly one-eighth less in pro-
portion than that of the Venus of Milo OF
the Cnidian Venus of Praxiteles, which
was esteemed by the ancients the llost
perfect statue in existence. The MeGici
Venus is slim, slender girl, whose pro-
portions resemble the statues of Psyche.
Living reproductions of her are more
frequently seen in New York than here.
There fell into The Argonaut's posses
sion q list of measurements of the pro-
portions of a young lady of San Fran
cisco. who is looked upon as being beau

a New York girl which we secured at

The Horse Knot.

Everybody in the world ought to
be taught how TO make the nice little
knot in halter strap that bitches a

1t is hard knot to describe but
its efficacy can be testified to by

the harder it is strained the tighter
its gets, but a child can give a slight
tug at the other end and it falls to
pieces as it were.

tried to teach this knot to his pa

success. Whenever he borrows a
horse and Oh returning it bitches 1t

How IL Can he Done Without Injury to

How It Can he Done without Injury to
the Young Animals.
To leave the colt alone or to only
halter break him until he is three or
four years old is a serious mistake
which many make. The time, expense
and trouble of breaking these mature
animals, as well as the danger incurred.
are convincing breeders every year that
the wisest and best way for all classes
of horses, whether for speed or family
use, is to begin training them at six
months old or younger. / recently saw
a choice filly when six months old
thoroughly broken to drive single or
double, and that appeared perfectly at
home in every situation in which saw
her placed. The question is asked,
how develop these young colts without
injuring them?
Nothing is more natural than for the
sucker to run beside his dam. OF
course the young animal must not be
given too much exercise, but he should
be early accustomed to light harness
which may be made of an old harness,
or even of tarred rope that is well
dried. After adjusting it carefully fol-
lowing the colts thorough acquaintance
with it, he should first be allowed to
run loose, as with colts generally. A
day or two later a thoroughly halter
broken colt should be tied loosely to the
end of the shaft of his dam Still later
strong light line should be fastened to
the outside bit, run through the turret
ring to the drivers hand, and the colt
gently guided at the same time his ma
ture mate has the lines pulled. In this
way the youngster will become accus-
toned to all sights and sounds and at
the age of six to eight months will
make no objection to going between
the shafts alone.
His young muscles can also be gradu-
ally developed for considerable speed
while he is not drawing a pound, and
his action improved from day to day by
the careful oversight of a discreet
owner or driver, who should always re-
member that a young animal is easily
fatigued. After a short trot in the
morning he can be left to rest and
given his dinner, after which he can be
driven a short distance in the after
noon, the mare being driven all day If
necessary. To prevent contact with
the wheel have the blacksmith drill the
