A HORSES TAIL.
40 Index 30 the Heoith, Strength and
Disposition Of the Animal,


In we'll formed horses tho toll should be
strong at tho root, rising high from the
Group, tho direction of which 1t follows.
Whom this Is horizontal, tho tail Is grace
fully carried, especially when the horse is
moving With powerful good shaped
horses 1t Is often carried upward or even
curved Oyer the back, especially when the
horse Is lively. Tho health and strength
OF tho animal Orc according to popular no
lions, indicated by the resistance tho tail
offers to manual interference and by tho
way in which 1t is carried To some ex-
tent also 1t affords an indication OF the
foyse's disposition
y 1dgcty horse usually has tho tail, like
efe cars, always In motion. When about
to kick, tho toll Is drawn downward be-
tween tho legs When tho animal is "a
tigucd or exhausted, then 1t Is dropping
and frequently trenulous, and with some
horses, when gnlloping, 1t is swung about
10 circular manner or lashcd from side
TO side There can scarcely be any doubt
also that like the tail of birds, 1t assists
IN the horses movements as when the an
lmal Is gauoping In d small circle, or rap
Idly turning round q corner, Il is curved

With well bred horses the hair of the tail
Is comparatively flno and straight and Of
ten grows to such length that 1t reaches
tho ground. Coarse bred horses may also
hove the hair long but then 1t Is usually
very thick and strong and more CT less
frzzly, though soft and curly hair may Co
caeionally be noticed In the tail of thor
pughbrcd horses In some horses there Is
tendency to shedding of the toll hair
(thLs, Like that Of tho mono, toll, forclcck,
fctlocks and SOHO other parts, is pcrme-
ncnt and not shed ut certain seasons, as
In other regions Of tho body. The horse
Is then said to BIO "rattailod, e" and there
Is popular saying TO the effect that such
horse Is never bad ono In other in
stances the toll hair falls of, except at the
end of the dock, whore it forms q tuft, and
tho horse is then ''cow tailed" or "mule

Social Obligations.

Christian Endeavor has a social side
1t assumes social obligations, and it
exerts a social influence. The chief
end of Christian Endoavor is not tie
discharge of social duties, and this
is not the most important business Of
the society This should be borne in
mind. But when this is said it remains
that the social obligations of the En-
deavor society are Of great Importance.
One Of the important committees is
that which has charge Of the social work
Of the society The extending Of social
courtesies to individuals and the provid
ing of social entertainment for the
members and their friends may exert a
very important influence upon the pop
ularity and efficiency Of the society.
Recreation and amusement are want
Of our nature. Especially is this true Of
young people. Moreover, it is right and
fit that Endeavorers should act in con-
cert in providing for this want. 1t is
we'll that the society as an organization
should, in degree at least, give direc
ton to the social life of the members

herself to the mission field. The mis-

A SALOON ENTIRELY BURNED
The Grand Pacific Ruined by Fire Yes
terday Morning
The Proprietor Was Asleep and Nearly Per-
ished In the Flames Said to Have Bee'
an Objectionable Place

The Grand Pacific saloon at 1888 San
Fernando street. owned by ]. II. Bridges.
was completely destroyed by lire yesterday
morning shortly after 5 o'clock. About
$40 o'clock D. W. williamson an old man
living in the rear of the place, arose and
started to epen up the saloon He saw
smoke coming out of tho building. He
ran around to the first door and endeavor-
ed TO effect an entrance but every door
and window was tightly secured. He then
knocked on the door to the loom In the
rear of the place where Bridges slept
The latter was sleeping very soundly and
was not aroused until after Williamson
had nearly kicked the panels through the
door. Bridges lost no time IN carving
his clothes from the little room, while
Williamson went to have an alarm turned
in.
When the fire department arrived the
saloon had been practically burned out.
There was the bar-room while on the side
ard in the rear were several card and
wine rooms. Nothing was saved, and but
for prompt work by the DEPARTMENT the
fire would have spread to the adjoining
stores sand houses which are all frame
buildings.
G. Miles, the barkeerer, said that he
Wenb nome SntTUIN De1Ore Il o CLOCK at
night leaving Bridges in charge with an
other man in the saloon. 1t has been the
custom after losing up to leave lighted
lamp on stool behind the bar and an
ether upon Il table in one of the wine
rooms. 1t is presumed that the one behind
the bar exploded for the fire evidently
started there. Tn
Bridges was insured for $500 and the
baIkeeper estimated the value of the busi-
ness at about $l400. Mrs. Bernero. the
owner of the property, states that Bridges
informed her he had purchased the outfit
for 500 from Kelly, the former proprie-
tor. The building was insured for $500
and this will about cover the loss.
Mrs. Berero says that some time ago
she served notice on Bridges to vacate
the saloon as she did not approve of the
kind of esta ablishment he conducted In
order to compel him to leave ths rent
was raised S25 month. but Bridges de-
cided to stand this and stay.
The people in the neigh borhood assert
that Bridges conducted most objection

until 3 o clock each morning and drunken
men and women maintained orgies
nearly every night. On the night before
the fire, it is claimed that the saloon was
open until a. m.

AN ADVERTISING SCHEME
The Street Signs to Be Put to New
Use
An Enterprsing Individual Wants to Take
Contract OH the Hands of the
municipality

An enterprising individual has come to
the front with a proposition which is IN
tended to prevent the expenditure of con-
siderable of the public funds. while at the
same time putting few surplus dollars
into his own pockets.
A proposal is 10 be submitted to5Stbe
council tomorrow to furnish the city with
all of the street signs needed free OF cost,
the contractor to be granted the privilege
OF using one side of the signs for adver-
using purposes. The party responsible
for the idea promises to erect at every
street corner an iron post several ieet
high, at the end of which the stree: signs
are to be placed. The investment will, he
claims, cost MIN several thousand dol
lars, and he thinks there is something of
fortune in sight in the scheme for him
self.
Street signs are now placed in position
by the superintendent of streets. the signs
at present used being wooden affairs
which are easily broken and which cost
the city about $500 a year. The new
metal signs are intended 10 be about the
size OF the wooden bits of board, which
are at present utilized as targets by the
small boys of the vicinity where they are
most conspicuous feature of the local
landscape.
