cLYDESDALE HORSES.
How These Splendid Draught Animals
Were First Produced.

How These Splendid Draught Animals
We're First Produced.
The Clydesdales, perhaps the horses
most highly-esteemed by farmers, es-
pecially in the hilly countries, are
bred in districts bordering on the
Clyde, and owe their origin to one Of
the dukes of Hamilton, who crossed
some of his best Lanark mares with
stations he imported from Flanders.
This breed is conspicuous for its high
courage, activity and endurance. Sew
eral years ago the late Gen. Peel told
me how successful he had been in mat
ing his thoroughbred Toxophylite with
C1ydesdale mares. -
"When you use," said he, thor
oughbred for draught mares, always
use the biggest and best you have, and
you will be sure to produce draught
horses second to none. Horses good as
Stockwell are not too good for Clydes-
dales. What ! have bred will go on
their knees to move the heaviest loads.
They won't be beaten.
This fact proves how benefcially a
good cross of fresh blood operates, and
particularly so when the new blood Is
obtained from the thoroughbred-not
from inferior specimens of this breed,
but from the very best-from horses
as good as Stockwell." The Clydesdale
differs from the Shire horse in that it
has long, low back, short, fat ribs,
good, hard legs, and long pasterns,
which would seem to have been de-
rived from cross with half-bred or
Thoroughbred horse. This certainly
is not a desirable conformation. and
our Scottish brothers have for several
years past inoculated this breed by the
| introduction OF the best Shire blood,
both male and female, which has re-
suited in the production of animals
vita shorter and stronger pastcrns-
This breed is much in request in this
country, and the best specimens are
| readily sold to americans at high hg-
ures.-.Nineteenth Century.

CENTS ARE LEGAL TENDER.
In Amounts of Twenty Five or Under They
VIII Go Anywhere In This Country.

In Amounts of Twenty-Five or Under They
Will Go Anywhere In This Country.
There is one story so utterly ridicu-
lous that it seems incredible that it
should ever have been printed, which
in one form or another makes the
rounds of various newspapers of the
country annually. Look for it and you
will sooner or later see it crop up again.
This tale is always based upon the un-
popularity of the one-cent pieces in the
extreme west and southwest. In its
most common form it tells of some east
ern traveller who attempts to dispose of
a hundred or so one-cent pieces in San
Francisco, Ell Paso or some other place.
The tradesman is always represented
as looking at them curiously and de-
clining them.
The writer's of these senseless tales
may have been in the west or they may
not 1t matters little-their story is
pointless. They seek to brand the
mythical tradesman as Of the same cat
egory with themselves.
The cent is legal-tender in amounts
Of twenty-five and less. If an eastern
man in San Francisco or anywhere else
owes a debt of twenty-five cents, and
tenders twenty-five one-cent pieces in
settlement, the courts will sustain him.
OF course. the coins are not popular
in the extreme west and south, but no
one need carry hundred of them in
cigar box or anywhere else as useless
metal. II you are in a city that has
United States sub-treasury, go to the
post Office, dump in twenty-five cents
and see If you will have any difficulty
in obtaining stamps or postal cards OF
like amount If one is refused, let
ter of complaint to the postal authori-
ties will soon work the removal of an
employe who would discredit United
States money.
1t is we'll to bear this matter of the
legal tender of O. cent in mind. No
one for spite can make person take
more than twenty-five of them in any
single transaction involving the settle-
ment of debt. One need have no
fear, then, of receiving one hundred
dollars in cents from some embittered
debtor.-N. Y. Herald.
