Kindness to Horses.

1t pays in dollars and cents to be kind TO
all domestic animals. An ugly temper is
an expensive thing on farm this is espec-
ialy true in the handling of horses. One
of our most successful breeders of driving
horses, who has built up profitable trade
in family drivers, his orders exceeding his
supply, says his success has been very
largely due TO the fact that he never allows
a blow or a cross word in the stable ward or
pasture.
Bad drivers make bad horses A horse
cannot be screamed at and cursed without
becoming less valuable in every particular
To reach the highest degree of value, the
animal should be perfectly gentle and re-
liable, but if it expects every moment
that it is in harness to be scolded and
struck, il will be in a constant state of ner-
vousness, and in its excitement is liable,
through fear, to do something which is
not expected. 1t is possible to train a
horse TO be governed by speaking to him,
almost as completely as to train a child,
and when thus trained, the horse reaches
its highest value. When a horse is sooth-
ed by the gentle words of his driver, and
We have seen him Gained down from great
excitement FROM no other means, II may be
fairly concluded that the man VITO has
such power over him is humane man and
a sensible one.
A gentle horse is worth more than it
would be if not gentle. What is termed
viciousness in horses is frequently nothing
but sheer timidity and almost invariably is
the result of rough treatment. Horses
would not give way to fear when a man
approaches them if they had always been
accustomed to receive kind and humane
treatment Young colts should be taught
not to fear the approach of human being.
They are fond of being petted and with
constant kindness will become quiet and
docile. A nubbn of corn, a handful of
grain, or a little sugar offered them occas-
ionally will gain their confidence, and they
will gradually lose all fear. The spirit of
trustfulness thus inspired and the resulting
gentleness of disposition will last through
life, unless adverse influences are allowed
to interfere.
A horse so trained is worth much more
than one equal in all other respects, but
lacking the training, or as DIR. Curryer
calls it, the education. An educated horse,
like an educated man, is valuable for what
he knows as well as for weight, strength
and vigor.

Some of the North Dakota papers are
trying to have the state divorce laws amend
ed so as TO make longer residence neces-
sary, but the Norwood Cleaner says, ''Let
the law alone. 1t is all right. The short
er the residence the better, as we get rid of
miserable citizens sooner than if the term
was heightened"
The United States department of agri-
culture has gone into the butter business
to the extent of buying 1000 pounds of the
finest American dairy product to sell in
the British market, the object being to
show that American butter can compete in
London with the butter of Holland, Den
mark and Sweden.
The growth of the use of aluminium in
the United States is remarkable. Last
year the production reached 100000
pounds, an increase over the year before
of 400 900 pounds. In 1895 the total pro
ductiOn was ST., 600 pounds; in 1898, 3l2,-
600 pounds; and in 1891, l6S, 200 pounds.
Ten or twelve years ago aluminium cost SIS
per pound and last year the price averaged
only forty cents pound, and with the in
creased production of aluminium the price
is continuing to fall, No longer ago than
the time of the completion of the Wash
ington monument the metal was so rare
that it was counted notable fact that
enough of it was secured and used to form
the cap or apex of the monument.

there is no hell as such, but he doubted
not there was punishment for all who do
not truly repent. Christ had warned men
to beware or they would be cast out and
destroyed 1t was inevitable, Dr. Abbott
said, in closing, that his lectures would
arouse criticism. He had only tried to

Women in Denver Politics.

Their WeIl-Dirscted and Business-Like
Effort TO Give the City Clean Munich
pal Government.
To the women of Denver, Colo, belongs
the credit of having called the first politi-
cal convention ever summoned by women,
and of carrying it through with despatch,
order and success. 1t was the outgrowth
of strong desire to obtain purer munich
pal government than has been offered the
city by any of the political parties in the
past, and the final result of earnest and in
telligent study of municipal reform. For
some time the women of Denver have been
educating themselves in this direction,
and coming together this spring, formed a
civic federation club with the purpose of
nominating an Independent city ticket.
the taxpayers league, engaged for several
years in fighting the city machine" in
vited the women to join forces, and, to-
gether the two societies adopted platform
which they distributed among the promi-
nent citizens of Denver with a request for
their opinions on the principles stated :;
from the names of those who favored this
platform their delegates were selected.
No primaries or caucuses were held in
ItpdldllOll, IuOuBu uuCu lulOTIndl Work
was done before the meeting of the dele
gates; these delegates represented the best
elements of the city, and were drawn from
the professions trade unions, and labor
men, to the number of about a hundred, of
whom half were women. Before night the
convention, which was noticeably quiet,
well organized assembly, adjourned, with
a city ticket completely made out with the
exception of nominations for aldermen, for
which sake the delegates met again the
next day. The ''slate" is chosen from the
best citizens is committed to civil service
rules, pure government, and is quite IN
partisan in selection of candidates.
A noteworthy delicacy of feeling prompt
ed the women to define nominations to this
ticket they offered to the Denver voters :;
feeling that they would seem to fall away
from their high position as disinterested
citizens, they refused to run for office;
and, knowing the common belief that
working in politics is Synonymous with
working for office, these women have de-
cided wisely in thus generously Withholding
themselves from seeking service, although,
without doubt, there are many capable of
public office among body that could en-
gineer so important a convention as this
of Denver.

Having Some Fun Mith the senate.

Senator Mason of Illinois made his
maiden speech in the Senate Wednesday,
and signalzed it by some breezy criticism
on the Anticipated rules of that body. 1t
was such variation from the prosy de-
bate of recent days that the Senator was
accorded close attention and twice re-
ceived the hearty applause of crowded gal
leries. The speech was in support of a
resolution offered by Senator Mason di-
recting the committee on rules to report a
rule from the closure on the previous
question. In this connection Mr.. Mason
sarcastically referred to the action of the
Senate on all great questions before it, the
long and fruitless debate on Cuba, the
delay of the arbitration treaty and the in.
ability to say whether our difficulties are to
be settled by arbitration or by the meth
DDS of Corbett and Fitzsimmons. 1t was
time, he said, to send the Senate into dry
dock and rid it of accumulated barnacles

Gen. Grants body was moved last Sat
urday afternoon from the temporary brick
mausoleum on Riverside Heights, where
it has rested since August S, 1885, to the
new marble tomb, and il was sealed up in
the stone sarcophagus.
Three Greek immigrants who arrived in
New York Wednesday were hoOted at by
their countrymen for having left Greece in
a time of trouble and narrowly escaped be-
ing mobbed. 1t is probable that about
1000 Greeks will sail from New York in a
weeks time to take part in the defence of
their native country. A steamer is being
negotiated for.
On the first day of July next the law
permitting the printing and use of private
mailing cards, with a one-cent stamp af
fixed, will go into effect. The progress
sive business man will have his own ad-
vertsement conspicuously displayed, and
the printing of millions of cards will make
work for the printer The law is approved
by the post-office department, as ii tends
to popularize postal cards, besides effecting
a saving to the government of the cost of
their manufacture.
John W. Foster, former secretary of
state, who was recently selected by Presi-
dent Mckinley TO draw up a plan in CON
junction with Charles T. Hamlin of Mas
sachusetts for the better protection of seal
life in Boring Sea, has been appointed by
the President a special ambassador of the
United States TO negotiate an agreement
with Great Britain TO secure joint action
for preventing the destruction of the seal
herds in Boring sea. Mr.. Hamlin will
leave Washington soon for San Francisco,
and then probably will visit the sea islands
to make personal investigation.

The Log of the ..Maynower."

The log of the Mayflower is to be given
to the people of the United States, and to
be deposited in Pilgrim hall at Plymouth,
Mass, or in some other safe place TO be
designated by the President. Everybody
knows about the NdHfocer, but compar-
atively few Americans ever heard of the
log. In truth the manuscript that is com
ing is not log, though it has received that
nickname. 1t is an account of the voyage
of the MdWOrer, and a history of the
Plymouth colony from 1902 to 1916, writ
ten by Governor William Bradford. and
handed down in his family through at least
four generations. Massachusetts was orig
inally a part of the diocese of London, and
this manuscript, with others, found its way
to the library of the See of London, where
it was discovered in 1916. 1t contains a
registry of births, marriages, and deaths of
Pilgrims, and records about their property.
At the desire of the government of Massa-
chusetts, the American Antiquarian soci-
ETY., the Massachusetts Historical society.
the Pilgrim society of Plymouth, and the
New England society of New York, the
President, through the American ambassa-
dor, asked that it be given to the United
States. The Archbishop of Canterbury
and the Bishop of London backed the am
bassador's request, and on March % a
consistory court of the diocese of London
determined to crafty the Presidents wish,
and to hand over the log to Mr.. Bayar
whenever he was ready to receive it, The
only conditions of the transfer are that a
Photographic, certified copy of the book
shall be left with the present custodians of
it, and that the original shall be put in a
safe place where persons concerned can
have access to it.-Hdrper'S Weekly.

The BubonIc Plague.

The clinical aud pathological account of
this malady submitted to the japanese
government in 1894, and since confirmed
by other European and American investi-
gators, shows it to be an acute febrile dis
ease of an intensely fatal nature, charac-
terized by Inflammation of the lymphatic
glands, by certain cerebral and vascular
disturbances, and by the presence of
specific bacillus. One gland alone may be
visibly affected, but most if not all of the
Emphatic glands are found to be enlarged
at the post-mortem examination. A bubo,
of course, is simply an inflamed gland, and
the name bubonic plague is given to the
disease because Of the Inflammation, some
times followed by suppuration, of the va
rious Emphatic glands of the body. The
glands most commonly affected are those
of the thigh and groin. The swollen gland
quickly attains the size of a hens egg,
but, unless death intervenes, after five or
six days it softens and is filled with pus,
which may be evacuated. In many cases
of the severer type the infamed gland has
not time to form, and then from the mu-
cous membranes there are hemorrhages,
and beneath the skin hemorrhagic extra
visations. 1t is probably this phenome-
non that imparts a dark appearance to por-
tons of the skin, which has in past times
given the name of BLACK Death to the
disease

The New Hampshire Courts and the
New Hampshire Law aud order
League.
From the Springfield Republican,
The New Hampshire law and order
league has just suffered hard blow. The
grand jures in Merrimack and Grafton
counties have refused to fin indictments
10 any of the cases brought by the league,
including 40 in Merrimack county and over
20 in Grafton. Plenty of witnesses were
on hand with evidence, but not a bill was
returned from all the leagues list. The
fight against the league, begun in the legis-
lature in the attempt TO repeal the moiety
law, seems to be thus transferred to the
courts, evidently with great success. The
action of the grand juries is a harder blow
to law and order, however, than it is to the
law and order league. 1t cannot be said
too often that the way to bring a law be-
fore the bar of public opinion is to enforce
it.
The motives and methods of the New
Hampshire league may be right or wrong
from an ethical standpoint; but disregard
of law, for mere personal opinion of the
complainant, is demoralizing and tends to
foster a disrespect for all laws. One OF
our strongest points of superiority over
most European countries is the dignity OF
our courts. We too often have scant re-
spect for our legislators and executive Off
GERS, but we honor the courts of law, and
it is to be hoped that the New Hampshire
grand jurymen will let us retain as much
of this regard as possible. 1t is of more
imnortaupp than the eupppss or failIira of a
law and order league. The action of these
grand jurors shows a serious drop in moral
tone, and the immediate local effect mus
be an increased disrespect for the law in

s5O.OOO.OoO to See the Show.

Nothing has ever been seen like the wild
speculation in seats from which to view
the "Queen's Jubilee" procession in Lon
don on the 9th of June when the Goth
anniversary of Victoria's accession to the
throne will be celebrated with all the pomp
which royalty can command. The rush
for seats has become a perfect craze in
London. At the prices now prevailing the
spectators will easily'eXpendS50, 900, 600 for
the privilege of seeing the show. Owners
of buildings along the route are pocketing
incredible fees for the rental of their prem
Uses. The highest price paid thus far is
1925, 900 for a large warehouse with
many windows overlooking St. Paul's
churchyard. This is literally more than
the value of the building without the land,
The two richest dukes, Westminster and
DevonshiIe, had offers of $4,000 apiece
for the use of their town mansions on Ju-
bilee day. The offers were not entertain
ed. The same sum was accepted by West
End hotel from an American syndicate for
possession from the evening before to the
morning after the procession.
Five thousand dollars has been paid for
rooms in 81, James's street of which the
annual rent is only $1,000 The upper
windows of one of the newspaper build
ings have been let for $4,000. Single
shop windows which will hold ten people
have been rented for as much as $3.50.
Spectators will sublet and coin money at
these figures.
So enormous are the sums being paid out
in this way that during the last three
months Her Majesty's life has been insur-
ed to the tune of nearly 100000 by
shopkeepers, window brokers, house agents
and spectators, who are anxious to pro-
tect themselves against loss in the posi-

A Youthful Fire Bug.

Herbert d. Smith was before the district
court at Greenfield Friday charged with
maliciously setting fire to certain buildings.
He says he set fire to barn burned on
Pettis plain last Saturday, and 10 the out
buildings on Agricultural park Thursday.
He says that he is not guilty of setting the
fires at the Sheldon d Newcomb powder
house or that of April on the agricultural
grounds, when the barns and fence of the
society were burned He was placed under
bonds of $1,000 for action by the grand
jury and in default went to Jail. The boy
