The first embodics a conversation with
Mrs. N. A. Whitley, the widow Of the late
Rev. Jonathan Whitley, d. D., an eminent

Whitley spoke as follows:

Horses Fed on Beefsteaks.

"Of all fads that fashionable people
indulge In over their pets, l think the
strangest idea Is that Of giving their
horses meat as a variation to their Or
dlnary Diet" said a veterinary sur
geon.
Beef Is only used. 1t is baked un-
til quite dry and hard, then minced
very fine, and given mixed with oats
or meal. The animals, so far from
refusing, seem to relish the mixture,
and 1t Is thought to improve their
condition and courage, but II contin-
ued too long they become vicious, and
their coats deterlorate.
"A well known titled lady expends
n good-sized sum altogether IN meat
for her numerous carriage horses and
hacks. She has one mare that will
greedily eat a beefsteak unmixed
with meal II minced small, and it has
one per week. / know retired army

that won some important events one

meat at intervals"

The Artist In Gardening.

Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,, in
" A Suburban Country Place." gives
a description IN The Century of Pro-
fessor Charles S. Sargent's home at
Brookline, Mass. Mrs. Van Rensse-
laer says: The work of the painter,
the sculptor or the architect is
throughout a work of creation. His
brute materials are supplied to him,
but the thing which he makes with
them is in all its parts his own. On
the other hand, the landscape garden
er is not wholly creator. The thing
which he produces was in some de-
gree begun by nature. His task is to
originate in one spot, but to preserve
in another, to suppress here, and to
alter there. Yet rearrangementnand
elimination are artistic processes as
truly as invention itself, and in each
and every case the result-the finish
ed work of art as whole-is moved,
is artificial, is a created thing. Thus
tine artist in gardening stands as an
artist with the painter, the architect
and the sculptor, just as the poet who
turns true tale into a work of ar.
ranks as high as the poet who invents
his theme.
But every one does not remember
these facts. The triumph of land.
scape gardening-ot the naturalistic
as distinguished from the formal
branch of gardening arts to create
results which look as though, with
very little assistance, nature might
have produced them in some particu-
larlyssgentle and human mood. And
therefore nature usually gets the
credit for almost the whole of the
landscape gardeners work, just as
she does for almost the whole of the
story teller's when his tale is known
to be /" founded upon fact"

Horsemen and others interested In
the problem Of how much horse Is

are their senses, were greatly, sur
priSed by an act Of the two large Nor
man horses which are driven to one
Of transfer company's wagons at
Anderson's. Ind, says the Indlanapo-
lis Journal. Several nights ago the
driver went to sleep. and forgot that
he had the mail to deliver at the Pan
handle for the Chicago-bound train.
The horses became very uneasy about
ten minutes before train time, and af-
ter waiting until within five minutes
Of train time, they started of on
run to the post-ofiice, drawing UP next
TO the door
The night clerk did not notice that
there was no driver, and pitched In
the mall pouches hurrisdly. The
horses then started Off on a dead run
for the depot and arrived just In time
for the excited bussman, who had
awakened, to throw In the mail. The
Incident was kept quiet at the time,
and as It happened at night this was
an easy matter. but again the same
thing happened. The driver was late.
and awaiting until they saw the
hands OF the clock on the court house
were getting too near the train time,
the horses started off. made not only
their previous rounds, but this time
made the calls at all Of the hotels,
where many passengers who did not
notice the driver was missing got In
hurriedly. They were deposited safe
ly at the depot just in time for their
train. This incident attracted great
deal Of attention and admiration.
The question which arises is as to
whether the horses were able to tell
time by the clock. or whether 1t was
their keen perspective qualities that
had been trained down by constant
service. At all events, horsemen con-
slider the performances as being re-
markable. The horses make about
twenty trains n day on different roads
and their performance Is therefore
more remarkable than II they only
| made one train, and only at one de-
pot.
