Tail Docking Prohibited.

The Legislature Of Massachusetts
has passed q stringent law against the
practice of docking horses, says the
Springfield Republican. 1t was ap-
proved by Governor Greenhalge. The
important sections are as follows:
Section 1. Whoever cuts the bone
of the tail fany horse for the purpose
of docking the tail, or whoever causes
or knowingly permits it to be done
upon the premises of which he is
owner, lessee, proprietor, or user, or
whoever assists in or is present at such
cutting, shall be punished by i'm.
prisonment in the jail not exceeding
one year or by fine of not less than
$100 nor more than $500.
Sec. 2. If a horse is found with
it's tail 80 cut and with the wound re-
sulting from such cutting unhealed,
upon the premises of any person, such
facts shall be prima facie evidence
that the person who occupies or has
the use of the premises on which such
horse is so found has committed the
offense described in section 1.
Sec. 3. If horse is found with his
tail so cut, with the wound resulting
from such cutting unhealed, in the
charge or custody of any person, such
facts shall be prima facie evidence
that the person having the charge or
custody of such horse has committed
the offense charged in section l.
This ought to make it difficult to
dock a horse within the borders OF
the State, but it cannot restore mutt
lated horses to their original condi-
tion, nor will it prevent the taking OF
horses outside Of the State to be
docked. But it is something to have
Massachusetts declare against this
barbarism and to insist that it cannot
be perpetrated within her borders.

as to the habits of the animal elected
from the small boy in attendance the
fact that bears like sugar and would
climb tree to get it. One Of the
party put this statement to the test oy
placing caramel on top of pole, and
the boy was vindicated by the bears
climbing to the top, but the caramel,
not so easy to month as sugar, stuck in
his teeth. He came down the pole, lay
on the ground and tried to get it loose
with one Of his forepawe !; this failing.
he inserted the second paw, and then
the third and the fourth until he was
helpless on his back with all four paws
in his mouth. .'....
Mr.. Morton now claims priority of
discovery in the fact that the best way
to catch bear is to feed him on cara
mels, get all of his paws in his mouth
and then club him 20 death. Chicago

Best Way to Kill q Bear.

Recent disclosures as to the way in
which some New Workers kill bear,
said Mr.. J. g. Osgood, remind me of
Paul Morton's discovery of the way to
catch them. He was travelling with q
party of good fellows on the Canadian
Pacific Railway. On that road the
passengers are supplied with most
interesting little book giving the name
of every town through which they
pass, with nice little bits of informa-
tion as to what may be seen there and
for what the town and surrounding
country are noteworthy.
The Morton party observed after
the name of station where the train
was to stop the statement, "Here bear
may be found" Arriving there they
dispatched their meal as soon as pos
sible and began to look for bear. Sure
enough there was one on the premises
tied to q stake in the back yard. The
advertising man had TAKEN care to
make good his word. Some inquiries

stands close up around the throat.
This is an exceptionally stylish and
pretty costume, and is type OF one
of the earliest ideas for autumn.
Another dress, and one that has
been much admired, is of dark-green
Indian camel's-hair. The skirt is
made entirely plain, the front and
sides are trimmed with single orna-
ments of satin and beads. The waist
is of camels.hair and has wide revers
turning back from Il full-length vest
finished by soft belt of velvet. The
collar, vest and sleeves are of black
satin, the sleeves in enormously full
topped lego mutton style. The edges
of the fronts over the vest have ro-
settes to match the skirt. A silk tie
with knot has ends that fall below the
belt; another new caprice in neck
dressing. Out-of-door sports monopo-
lize large share of the attention OF
young ladies at this season, and as
boating is favorite pastime, special
costumes are devised for this purpose.
Among the most desirable are those
made of serges of various colors.

An Old-TIme Photograph,

"There is a photograph I took
thirty years ago, said photographer,
showing picture of a cottage. "You
see it is almost as clear and fine as
anything we get now. The truth is
that the progress of photography has
not been so great in those thirty
years as most people think. We have
developed speed, and we have pro-
duced more rapid developers that are
easily handled, but they are not so
satisfactory in other respects. Chi

as trimming, and mousseline de sole
is even more popular. In scarfs and
rosettes for hats; in puffy, gathered
bodice fronts; ir sleeve puffs and in
trimmings for evening dresses these
materials come universally into play.
The tulle is very perishable, but the
mousseline and net repay one for
their using, 80 dainty and fresh do
they look and remain.

of that rough straw that is yet SO frail
looking that you can crush it with
your fingers. A tiny shape, slanting
up to modest point in the center of
the crown, was draped with q soft
scarf of white mousseline, kuotted
closely at intervals. At the left side
it was punched in fuller folds, among
which nestled graceful white-plum-
aged bird, and at the back the ends

wear this at eventide, and when the
breezes began to blow and her hair
would get ruf1ed in the winds, she
would draw the ends of her scarf for

chin.

The Last King Of the Montauks.

John Hannibal, or King Pharaoh,
the last lineal descendant of the once
powerful tribe of Montauk Indians,
died at the home of Mrs. L. Atmos
Youngs at Mattituck, short time
ago. King Pharaoh was known to al
most everyone on Long Islands east
end, and at the time of his death was
eighty-seven years of age. With him
ends the long line of Montauk kings,
as his only child died many years
ngo.
King Pharaoh was born in old Mon
tauk's rocky heights and his love for
the rugged scenes OF his earlier child
hood was one of the old Indians
strange characteristics. Even in his
advanced years he would walk miles
to spend day at his birthplace and
among the favorite retreats of his fore
fathers. His mother was full-blood-

The German kindergarten.

A kindergarten in Germany has al

where the children plant seeds and
tend their own plants until the seeds
are stored IN the autumn. This is
made a very delightful and useful
feature IN all parts of that country.
but the plan is practiced at the Pesta-
lozzi-Froebel House, in Berlin, on a
specially fine and large scale. The
work of this kindergarten is under
the patronage of Empress Frederika,
and it has the immediate supervision
of Frau Henrietta Breyman Schrader,
a niece of Froebel's. The three-story
house, which is IN the heart of the
city, is built with an inner court,
which contains a playground and a
garden. A recent visitor tells of the
tall linden tree in grass plot, with
rustic summer house built around it,
and of the little gardens of the chill
dren. She is under the impression
each child had separate garden of
flowers. There were rose bushes and
lilace, and with the Towering shrubs,
currant bushes and gooseberries, and
other small fruits, all skilfully ar
ranged with most beautiful effect. A
vine covered the high brick partition
dividing this ground from the neigh
boring enclosures in q way to add
beauty to the whole scene. Back of
the garden is chicken yard, with
wire screen between, where the chill
dren could watch the mother hens
with their young broods, getting many
lessons from this observation. New

GREENS ARE POPULAR.

TIE different shades of green appear
to be very popular. They begin in
grays, where the green is scarcely
more than suggestion, and then they
are seen in sage, frosty whitish tint
overcasting it; then in reseda, which
is of rusty tinge. There is grass
hopper green, lettuce, cabbage, pop
lar, apple, Nile, and then it strays
into the moses, myrtles, olives, and
lastly, the emeraIds, the Lincoln and
hunters green and bottle green.
Without doubt green is a pleasing
color, but the wearer must know how
to treat it. There are green's that
dark or sailow persons should keep at
O distance from face, neck or hands,
and then there are others that make
such persons look fair. They must be
studied.

RULES FOR CANNING.

Miss Bedford, principal of the New
York Cooking School, uses the follow
ing proportions in canning fruit: For
apples, peaches, pears, blackberries
and sweet cherries, one-fourth pound
of sugar to every pound of fruit, and
one quart of water to every pound of
sugar. In canning strawberries, sour
cherries and raspberries Ito which she
adds half cupful of currant juice to
every pound of fruit), she uses one
half pound of sugar to a pound OF
fruit, and water in the same proper
ton as before. For pineapples, blue
plums and cages she uses three-fourths
of pound of sugar to one OF fruit,
and water in the same proportion as
for the others, except pineapples.
They require no water to make a
syrup, as they have sufficient juice
without it. Pineapples should stand
in sugar at least twenty minutes be-.
fore heating, to start the flow of juice,
and should steam forty-five minutes,
or until they look clear. They should
be shredded with silver fork, as the
large slices of pineapple that look so
tempting in cans are awkward when
served at the table, it being almost
impossible to cut them with spoon
without soling the table cloth. Dam.
son plums require five pounds Of fruit
to three of sugar. Ounces should
first be steamed before putting them
in syrup. Fruit should be measured
by the scales; as sugar does not vary
it may be measured in q pint or half
pint measure. Fruit juice that re.
mains after filling the cans may be
canned and used to flavor sauces and
ices.-New York Journal

FINE ART OF COOKING.

The fre art in cooking consists in
pleasing the eye, as we'll as the palate.
A dish should ever taste better than it
looks. Clean, sweet, cool surround
ings; comfortable chairs; faultless
linen and shining dishes, prettily ar
ranged, are the aesthetic insurance of
q nice meal. Table furniture may be
of priceless beauty, but every arti-
Gle must be of use, otherwise it be-
comes superhuity. A crowded table
is never pleasing; dishes need relief,

fruit, salad, etc.-the more space
should be allowed.-St. Louis Star.

which has attained such enormous
sales in this vicinity during the past
few months, and which promises to

cause of the greatly superior results
obtained by its use. This powder
eNcels in three important particulars,
viz: baking strength, hcalthfulness,
and purity. One-and-a-half tea

than two full teaspoonfuls of the

which leave a physic to the bread.

This in substance is another of the
reforms instituted and successfully
accomplished by MIR. Marshall, and
which has already resulted in the
saving OF hundreds of dollars to the
people Of the county, as well as bet

schools, through the closer classifi-
cation made possible by uniform
books. The teachers of the county,
approaching the Importance of this
movement, have loyalty supported
MIR. Marshall in this, as they have in
all his efforts to introduce system
into our public school work.
They are also supporting him in
his candidacy for county superin-
tendent, and Mr.. Marshall can have
no better recommendation than this
support from those who are familiar

politics and religion. Parties may
properly contend for policies and
principles which grow out of, and are
peculiar to the purposes of their or

promoting the efficiency of our pub
