CURRY THE FARM HoRsEs.-Horses
on the farm do not have the sleek
look that horses in the city liveries
have.
Neither will they accomplish so much
work. The difference is partly owing
to the fact that the horse in the city
has large proportion of grain, while
the farm horse, even while working,
gets most of his nutrition from hay.
But grooming has also great deal to
do with the superior sickness of the
city horses coat. The currycomb is
not so much used as it should be on
farm horses.
We know, says The Prince Edward
Island Agriculturist, many places
where the brush and currycomb are
seldom used, except while the horse is
shedding his coat. But used at any
time it promotes the secretion of oil ,
which moistens the coat and makes ii
shine. A well groomed horse is usu-
ally we'll fed. But if the grooming
were thoroughly done at least once a
day, the horse would keep in good
condition with less food than it now
receives.
Good grooming undoubtedly aids
digestion, as rubbing the body pro-
notes digestion in people, and is an
excellent substitute for exercise for
those who do little muscular work.

For INyALIDs-When the yolk O

For INvALIDs.-When the yolk Of
an egg cannot be borne, the white may
be given with perfect impugnity. AL
bumenized milk is prepared by shaking
in a wide mouthed bottle or jar one
pint of milk with the whites of two
eggs. These are so thoroughly incor-
porated by this process that few would
suspect their presence, and the mix
ture is much more nourishing than the
milk alone. A delicate eggnog is made
by beating the yolk of an egg separ-
ately and adding to it three table
spoonsful of sugar with the juice of
half a lemon squeezed on it; when
we'll mixed, the milk is poured in, the
white, beaten to stiff froth with a
small teaspoonful of sugar, and few
drops of lemon juice is heaped on the
top and beaten through the milk, &C
cording to the fancy of the maker.
Orange juice may be substituted for
the lemon. Albumenized water is
pleasant and at the same time re-
freshing drink. 1t is prepared like
the milk by shaking together the
whites of two eggs and pint of cold
water, and favored with lemon juice,
a slice of lemon being left floating in
the glass. Cold toast water can be
used to make it.

WHEN TO GIVE BABY A DRINK

WHEN TO GIVE BABY A DRINK
An eminent children's physician is re-
ported as saying that infants, general
iy, whether brought up at breast or
artifcally, will, in warm, dry weather,
take water every hour with advant-
age, and their frequent fretfulness and
rise of temperature are often due to
their not having it. In teething,
spoonfulls of water given every hour,
or oftener, cool and soothe the gums,
and this, with larger cooling evapora-
ton, often stops the fretting and rest
lessness so universal at this period.
In teething and other disturbances
the feverish condition demands more
water to meet the extra evaporation
from the skin and lungs and keep the
body cool. The young child may be
parched with thirst, but be unable to
tell or make known its wants. 1t is
we'll to always test this-that is, when
ever child is uneasy give it few
teaspoonfuls of water, and if this is at
all quieting, Immediately, or after a
few minutes, give more as often or as
long as it is accepted and appears USE
full. If the water is reasonably pure,
no harm can come if not enough cold
water is taken to produce chill of the
internal organs of the body.-Ex-

SWEDISH PROvERBs.-Mrs. Baker,
in her pictures of Swedish Life, y
says that the Swedish language is rich
in proverbs. Many of these are ex-
actly the same as are found in En-
glish: "The burnt child breads the
fire." and "Better late than never"
for instance. Others, while cores
ponding to proverbs in English, have
a turn peculiar to themselves. The
following are few examples
"When the cat is away, the rats
dance on the table,"
"a new broom sweeps well, but an
old one is best for the corners"
Zone bird in the hand is better than
two on the roof"
"When the stomach is satisfied, the
food is bitter"
"To read and not to know, is to
plow and not to SOW"
"That which is eaten from the pot
never comes to the platter"

WORKINGS OF THE INDIAN MIND.
In q contest of wits the North Amer.

In contest of wits the North Amer
lean Indian is almost always at dis
advantage with the white man. His
mind is not accustomed to the quick
thinking which centuries of civiliza-
ton have developed. An old resi-
dent of Spokane, Washington-Mr.
Cowley-has told to The Spokesman
Review of that city many stories of the
old days, which illustrate the quality
of the Indians thinking when he
comes into contact with the white
mans intelligence.
Mr.. Cowley once carried on business
as buyer of grain, and Indian farmers
brought him their products. One day
an Indian told him that he should no
longer sell him his oats, because anoth-
er white man would give more for
them.
"Very WELL" was the answer. ~
cannot afford to pay you more"
But after awhile the Indian farmer
came back and offered Mr.. Cowley a
load of oats at the old price.
"How is this ?" asked Mr.. Cowley.
doesn't the other man still pay you
your price ?" =.
"He pay me more for bushel," said
the Indian; "you pay me more for
load"
This was as much as to say that the
other man had given him greater
price at the expense of the measure
ment Of the grain {; but the untutored
mind of the savage had taken in the
fact only in the way his reply indica-
ted.
Another story told by MI. Cowley
was of the visit of General Philip Sher-
idan to the Spokanes in an early day.
Sheridan related to the Indians,
through an interpreter, the wonders OF
the railroad, and then waited to see
what effect the revelation would have
upon them.
'"What do they say ?" he asked the
interpreter.
"They say they don't believe it,"
was the answer.
Sheridan then described the steam
boat, and the interpreter repeated this.
"What do they say to that ?" the
general asked again, seeing the Indian
faces all impassive.
"They say they don't believe that,
either"
Then the general gave an account
of the telephone, and told how a man
at the end of a long wire had talked to
man at the other end of it. The
interpreter remained silent.
"Well," said the general, "why
don't you interpret that to them ?"
"Because l don't believe that story
myself" answered the interpreter.
He was conscientious man, and could
not assume the moral responsibility OF
repeating such an incredible tale.
Somewhat more "canny," as the
Scotch would call. it, was the response
which some of the far Northwestern
Indians used to make to the mission
aries when reproached by them with
the wickedness of their race. They
declared that when Christ had accom-
plished His mission to the white men.
He was about to carry the gospel to
the Indians, but some envious white
men said, "If we let Him 60 the Indi.
ans will become too smart for us. u
So they cruciied Him, and the Indians
have ever since been left in state OF
depravity for which the whites could
blame only themselves.

Aumurol1s Department.

Mr.. GREEN UNDERSTOOD IT.-Some
good stories are told of Thomas Rey-
nolds, who began his studies as an
associate justice of the supreme court
of this state early in September, 1922.
Not all of them are true, and the one
that follows has been denied, but it
may be worth repeating, nevertheless.
Governor Ford is authority for it:
Judge Reynolds presided at court
in which man named Green had
been convicted of murder, and it be-
came his unpleasant duty to pronounce
sentence of death upon the culprit.
He called the prisoner before him and
said: "Mr. Green, the jury, in its
verdict, says you are guilty of MUIR
der, and the law says you are to be
hanged. Now, I want you and all
your friends down on Indian creek to
know that it is not I who condemns
you, but it is the jury and the law.
Mr.. Green, the law allows you time
for preparation, and so the court wants
to know what time you would like to
be hanged"
The prisoner replied that he was
ready to die at any time the court
might appoint. The judge then said ::
"Mr. Green, you must know it is a
very serious thing to be hanged; it
can't happen to a man more than once
in his life, and you had better take all
the time you can get. The court will
give you until this day four weeks.
Mr.. Clerk, look at the almanac and
see if this day four weeks comes on
Sunday"
The clerk looked and found that it
came on Thursday, and the court in
formed Mr.. Green that he would be
hanged on that day. The attorney
general of the state, James Turney,
wanted q more formal and impressive
sentence passed, but the court replied: !:
"Oh, Mr.. Turney, Mr.. Green under
stands the whole matter as we'll as if
I had preached to him for month.
He knows he has got to be hanged this
day four weeks. You understand it
in that way, Mr.. Green, don't you"
Mr.. Green said eyes," and the court
adjourned.-Chicago News.

IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE RAIN
You have desperate case on your hands

your land is not prepared for the seed.
Of course, you can plant your corn or

but if you do, you will have twice as

had you prepared it before planting, and
a corresponding decrease in the yield.

THE FACE BATH.-There are many
girls who retire at night thoroughly
tired, and forgetting, therefore, to
wash their faces just before seeking
their pillows for the much needed
slumber. This is a great mistake both
on account of their health and beauty.
Not only does any particle of dust on
their face have time to create havoc
before morning, but if cosmetics have
been used, it is disastrous neglect !;
the poisons Or chemicals eat into the
skin, and destroys its smothness as
we'll as whiteness, and have a clear
entrance through the pores into the
system. By using PLENTIFUL supply
of warm water on the face before rest
ing, much damage to the skin is saved,
and much good towards its preserva-
ton is accomplished.

And think you should have, we would be

System to you. The Mutual Reserve is
the largest and strongest natural preIni-
largest of ANY KIND. 1t has paid
about $3.50, 900 to the widows and orphans
of deceased policy-holders in South Car
lima alone, during the past twelve years,
and if all the insurance now carried in
old line companies in the state was in the
Mutual Reserve, not less than $400, 600,
which now annually goes into the Golfers
of the former, would be left in the state
to help relieve the hard times about which
we hear so much.
