HARNESS HORSES.

The breeding interests of the coun-
try demand the most careful consider
alton at the present time those en-
gagged in it. Speed alone should not
be our aim in breeding horses, says n
correspondent of the Iowa Turf. You
may choose the best speed producing
sire in the country, AMI You will real
ize that not over 50 per cent of his
colts, Mt the outside, with the best of
handling, will trot in Q 80 or bettor.
Admitting this to be fact, then,
what are you going to do with the
other fifty that cannot trot? The
country today is overstocked with n
class of horses that are not even good
enough to make livery horses.
How many of you can go ont and
within month pick mp carload of
horses that, besides being woll-brcd,
stand sixteen hanls, will weigh 1,10)
or POS pound', are sound i'll wind or
limb, having good feet aud legs, thlt
are good colors, with stylish carriage
of head and TIL, anl that can pull n
road wagon or buggy at $50 clip?
IL you do get them you will find
that you have paid their owners a
good round price for them, notwith-
standing the fact that horses are cheap.
Breed, if you will, two sires that pro-
duce speed, as speed is very desir-
able quality, but before breeding to a
certain horse, see that you have n
mare that is equally well bred, if pos
sible and one that is stylish, sound aud
good individual; then look for the
same qualities in the stallion, and the
progeny will make an animal which,
if it does not make record breaker,
will make one that you Gun sell at a
good figure for road purposes. I'm
soundness either in sire or dam is cer-
tainly Objectionable, and in many
cases hereditary, bat this fact has in
the past, by many breeders, been en-
tirely overlooked. Soundness is al
ways considered very essential by
breeders of other kinds of animals.

The modern orchestra has been con
verted into Il great, composite musical
instrument, ON which the conductor
actually plays; and the specific skill he
has developed of playing on this instru-
ment is an exact counterpart of what
we call virtuosity in the individual per-
former. A generation of 'virtuosi of
the orchestra" has sprung up, exercis-
ing the same fascination over the great
crowd of music lovers that other viz
tuosi have time out of mind.
The orchestral conductor is fast bt-
coming the synosure in the musical
armament, with the pole star of safety
or shipwreck beaming at his baton's
Zip. Lightly warbling soprani, tcnors
storming the Jericho of the people,
heart with miraculous SOUND" and
sonorous bassos of Bashan will have to
look to their laurels; some fine day .ney
may find them encircling the conduc-
tors Olympian brow
In word. the modern conductor is
essentially performer; and, whether
he be poplar fayorite by reason Of his
vlrtuousity or of the scope modern
musical performance gives TO the ar
ustic initiative Of all performers, his
virtuosity per Sc is unquestionably the
element by which he most gains his
ascendency over the public.-sseribner's

DRAWBACKS TO THE CHEESE ISDusTsf.
One Of the most serious drnwb lcks
TO the checs, industry is the vast
amount of cheese made which has been
robbed Of a part of its cream. The
consumer buys small piece, but its
poor quality is against it, it is not
eaten, goes to waste, aud the house
wife Of economical tendencies does
not buy again for months. If only
good cheese, from whole milk, were
made, the consumption wo1' d steadily
increase. Bat the market has been so
badly demoralized by the makers of
poor cheese, that it will take years to
recover its tone, even when poor
cheeses are no longer sold-American

The effort to secure an amendment
to the copyright law, which would OPP
crate to prevent the piracy of plays,
should be warmly supported by the
press all over the United States. a bill
for that purpose was introduced in Con
gress somewhat late in the session, but
in the short time allotted to it before
the House, failed to reach vote, main
ly because of the ignorance of its JUS
tice and of the scope of its provisions
displayed by certain members. They
drowned it in talk. The American ORA
matists' Club. which lately dined Mr..
Cummings, who introduced the bill,
and Mr.. Covert, the committee chair
man, who championed it before the
House, are wise in resolving on Il cam
Qaign of education among the members
of Congress, so that, when the bill
comes up again, its merits may be more
accurately estimated. 1t is fact that
there is practically no punishment for
stealing a play, and no redress of any
kind for the author whose play has
been stolen. This is a nice state of
affairs for any member of Congress to
struggle to prolong
