CHEAP HORSE rLEsH.

The day OF the horse-the common
plug-has gone in this country never
TO return. An enterprising Spectator
over in Nevada has sent an invoice Of
tails and names to the San Francisco
market, and il there is a remunerative
demand for them he proposes to en-
bark more extensively in the business.
He says there are thousands of horses
on the ranges over the mountains
whose names and tails may be utilized
in this way, but the animals are worth
nothing for any other purpose. Can
ming horse flesh for table use is also an
Oregon and Indiana industry which
has attained some proportions, but
how profitable we are not correctly ad-
vised. The OF horses have
also been turned into fertilizers by fac
tories in Ohio, Illinois and other States.
An oversupply and the utilization Of
electricity have reduced the price of
all classes Of horses the past few years,
and the bicycle has also had its effect
upon the livery business Of the whole
country, in which 90 many horses have
been used. II is stated that there is
now a general demand only for draft
horses weighing from 1900 to 1000
pounds each, for heavy work in the
large cities; good, stylish coach horses
weighing from 1900 to 1,400 pounds
each, and handsomely matched teams
weighing from 1900 to 1900 pounds
each, for driving. The latter. when
well matched and with good action,
bring higher prices than any others.
Common plugs and cross-bred horses
are a drug and worthless almost any
where.-Sacramento Bee.

Limit your hours Of sleep to seven
and take no catnaps during the day.
Take a cold sponge bath every morn
ing and five minutes exercise with
wooden dumbbells.
Sleep, lack of proper physical exer-

most formidable enemies OF the fat
woman, says the New York World.
Ride q wheel or a horse and go in

Abstain from hot breads, potatoes,
butter. sugar, olive oil and sweet wines
especially champagne-and liquors,
and take as little Of any liquid as pos

Eat plenty Of fresh fruit and such
salads and vegetables as raw tomatoes,

OF which contain starch. No oil must
be used to dress them.

An anonymous correspondent to
the Carson News tells OF a society, q
chapter OF which has been formed in
Carson: 1t is a secret society which
dates back many hundred years, and
was founded by q Spartan woman Of
high caste and great bravery. The So
ciety was originally intended for wo-
men only, but by some unknown
means the secrets Of the fraternity
were discovered by three men, who
were punished nigh unto death, but
were afterward honored as members
OF the organization, after taking a
solemn oath and being initiated into
the mysteries. The members Of the
organization and its purposes are I'M
known, and according to the rule Of the
society will not become known until
the chapter is six months old. New
members are cautiously approached,
and probably none will be admitted
for some time to come"

Furnished the Excuse.

A Liverpool merchant recently went
to his head clerk and said: "John, l
owe about 10000 pounds, and all I pos
sess is about 1000 pounds, which is
locked up in the safe. I have been
thinking that this is the right time to
make an assignment, but what plaus-
ible pretext I can give my creditors /
know not. You have plenty OF brains /;
think the matter over and let me know
your decision in the morning."
The clerk promised to do SO.
On entering the Office next morning
the merchant found the safe open, the
money gone, and in its place a letter,
which read as follows:
II have taken the 1000 pounds and
have gone to South Africa. 1t is the
best excuse you can give your credi-

Small Boy with . Broken PIsche

Small Boy with - Broken Pitcher.
A new scheme was worked out on
Pennsylvania avenue southeast, says
a Washington paper. A small boy
with a broken pitcher entered a store,
and, between sobs, told how he had
been sent for milk for the baby with
the last nickel in the house, and had
fallen and broken his mothers only
pitcher. He was afraid to go home.
He received two nickels with which to
get a pitcher, and went out Of the store
rejoicing. A little later a man came
in and said: ~ saw a pitiful case just
now. A little boy had fallen and bro.
ken his pitcher and"
"Did you give him a nickel? ?" asked
the storekeeper.
81 bought him a new pitcher" was
the reply, "but l didn't finish the
story"
ooh, We know the story. He was
here"
Within an hour several came in to
tell the little incident of life among the
poor, and, after comparing notes and
making inquiries, it was learned that
the boy had collected forty nickels and
ten pitchers in one afternoon, with out
side precincts not heard from.

Mason Valley people suffer by reason
of the act OF the Legislature requiring
sheep owners who are not the owners
or holders OF one acre OF land for every
two sheep, to pay license. says the Re-
no Journal. Mr.. Mcleod says hereto
fore from sc. 1000 to $4,000 head of sheep
from California wintered in Mason
Valley and vicinity. The ranchers
sold their hay at a fair price to the
owners OF those sheep. The license
act caused all those sheep to remain
on the west side OF the State line, and
consequently there is very little de-
mand for hay.
