Literary News and Notes.

Inc November number of the Atlantic
contains some Early Recollections Of Bret
Harte by Mr.. Charles Warren Stoddard,
VINO Was his associate and friend in the
old California days.
A fully illustrated article on Public
Aquariums in Europe, in which those of
Naples, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and
Brighton are described, will be contribut-
ed to Appletons' Popular Science Monthly
for November, by Prof. Bashford Dean Of
Columbia University
Every one knows how eager and active
children are in finding out what they
want to know, and how listless oftentimes
in learning what their teachers want them
to know. Prof. Edward R. Shaw of New
York University has prepared an article
for the November Popular Science Month
ly on the Employment of the Motor Ac-
tlvities in Teaching, in which he will
show how much better it is to direct
these ACTIVITIES instead of trying to repress
them.
The November number of the Atlantic
Monthly contains the first of a series of
exceedingly interesting "reminiscences
covering the last fifty years of Colonel
Thomas Wentworth Higginson life, I'M
der the apt title Of ''Cheerful Yesterdays"
Colonel Higginson's career as writer, sol
dier public servant and man of letters
covers the last half century, and there is
| hardly man or a movement of that time
that he has not come into intimate rela-
lions with. These autobiography
| papers in a cheerful tone, really cover
much of the most important history of
this long period.
| One of the oldest and most reliable
magazines published in the United States
is Llttells Living Age. 1t has, through
its more than fifty years of existence
maintained, invariably, the highest de
gree of literary excellence. The pub
| fishers now announce certain "New
Features which will greatly enhance its
value in the eyes of every intelligent
reader. The first of these new features
will appear in a November issue-to be
continued monthly thereafter-in the form
of Supplement containing three depart
ments, namely: Readings from the
American Magazines, Readings from New
Books, and a List of the Books of the
Month. This supplement, which can
not fail to be of great interest and profit
to it's subscribers, will add about three
hundred pages annually to the magazine,
with no addition to its present price.

Waldo County Horse Notes

Bulletin No. of the Maine State Board
tains the following correspondence on the
subject from Waldo county:
LIBERTY. l believe there is no industry
that would pay better than raising the
French coach horse from the good mares in
Maine. There can be no failure there for
if the colts do not show reading qualities
they will be large enough for draft pur-
poses, and bring fair price, enough to pay
cosS of raising. And if they are good road
STEERS they will bring paying price, and
there is no farm product nearer to money
than such colts when they are old enough to
go to service. William H. Moody, Mem
ber)
WALDO. There have been but few colts
raised for several years. Western horses
are sold n our markets for sixty to eighty
dollars, weighing twelve to fourteen hun
dred pounds, which is the right size for
farm horses. Horses weighing eleven to
twelve hundred, stylish, and good drivers,
would meet with ready sale at good paying
prices, but W. tn the class of mares we have
to breed from only one in five or six will
come up to the requirements of the market,
and no effort is being made to get better
class of mares. The trotting horse is the
aim of most breeders, without regard to
other qallties, and we are over-stocked with
class of horses that are unsuitable and
therefore worthless. y. G. Harding.
MONROE. At present prices of horses, l
am doubtful if it is advisable to extend the
industry in the State. If horses are to be
bred, the kind to breed is t e kind that will
sell. The trotting bred colt is generally
out of place on the farm of the average
man. But the why, high life and hardy
horse, that will pull you along at a three
minute clip, or will do a days work ON the
pillow or machine, is the horse for Maine. A
pair of we'll bred and we'll fed light horses
will generally stand more farm work and
driving than heavier team. Where large
loads are to be moved short distances, the
sixteen hundred horse may be all right;
but where the work is only moderately
heavy and considerable driving has to be
done, the ten hundred horse is better all
around. No doubt there are men so stuat-
ed as to be able to raise this class of horses
at a fair profit; let these men grow them.
But the average farmer who is doing well at
something else, and who knows little or
nothing about breeding and training colts,
will probably be as well off to let the bust
ness alone. E. G. Dow.
MoNTvILLE. l think the horse industry
could be extended with profit to the farmer,
if the right kind of horses were raised. MY
idea would be that driving horses of good
style, height and weight, would be most
profitable. They can be procured by careful
breeding, and should be marketed when
they can be sold with most profit. The gem
eral purposes horse should weigh eleven
hundred pounds. B. F. Foster.

she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
