Singular as II may seem, there are
those who predict thai the present
popularity Of the bicycle is likely 10
result in an increased demand for sad
die horses, or even say that its effects
may be seen already in some localities.
The habit of exercise m the open
air, Of frequent excursions 10 points
near by or far away, and the gaining
of confidence in the safety Of trusting
10 other means Of lOcomotion than the
luxurious buggy or carriage, is already
creating, they say, a desire 10 com
pare the ease Of riding the horse and
the wheel. They wish 10 know
whether the pleasure and exhilaration
which they feel upon the iron steed
cannot be found equally well and with
equal safety upon horseback, with a
relief from the labor of pedaling.
Some Of those who can afford IL are
trying TO acquire as much skill upon
horseback as they have in bicycling,
and others may follow their example.
1t is scarcely half century since
the buggies were almost unknown,
and the two-wheeled chaise or the
heavier carriage vas the resort only Of
old people too clumsy to ride as they
did in their youth, or Of some
young dandy who desired to go out in
company with a companion of the
other sex The farmers son could
we'll content himself upon the horse,
often without saddle at all, and
sometimes the daughter was equally
skillful. Now it is only the rich mans
son who has been able to take his les
sons at a riding academy who prefers
the horse to the bicycle, but if the
horse becomes fashionable, many who
are not rich will find that they must
acquire the art or take their place
amcng the questionable crowd, des-
titute Of the proper accomplishments
of society.
And when that time comes shall we
see the young man and maiden using
the saddle and pillion, as did their
grandparents, instead of the tandem
wheel? Who knows? Horse breeders
may take the hint to break their colts
to a good saddle gait, and accustom
them to flowing skirts or to bloomei
costumes. Perhaps it was to encour-
age this fancy for horseback riding
that the managers of agricultural fairs
in Maine desired the equestrian exhi
bition by a troop of United States cav

Breeds of Sheep.

Some persons are apt to become lost
among the many breeds of sheep and
unable to make a choice on account of
the variety Offering. But q good sheep
may be Of any kind, just as a good
man may be Of anyrace, or color even,
white or black or yellow, for the pur-
pose for which any one may wish to
use him, TO some extent sheep is
valuable for some special location, as,
for instance, the mountain breeds, as
equally so the lowland breeds and the
marsh breeds. But it has appeared
that all these breeds when brought to
this great North America have found
homes anywhere, and everywhere,
without any regard to their antece-
dents. 1t is true that some Of our
breeds seem to do better in some
places than in others, but yet others
thrive side by side with them. 1t is
in the man rather than in the place or
the sheep that success in the rearing
exists. And the right man will always
find the right place for any kind Of
sheep he may take fancy to- Indeed,
this word exactly fills the bill; it is
the fancy OF the man which always
does and always will control the choice
of the flock. This may be thought
somewhat questionable, but, as a mat
ter of experience, the writer sof this,
who has kept sheep in the North and
South, East and West, during forty
years past, and has kept every leading
breed during that time, must say adj
visedly and truly that as far as choice
Of breed is concerned it is immaterial;
all that is wanted is a good sheep and
a good shepherd to manage it. Then
all goes well.
AS to the fleece, we may say there is
a demand for every kind of wool grown,
and as for mutton, while it is true that
some naturally surpass other kinds, it
is only for the excessively nice mutton
eater that one well-kept and fed
sheep will surpass any other kind. It
is somewhat like the gifts of mind
mentioned by an old writer; men have
them not all alike, but some exceed
others very greatly in the kind Of
them. All, however, are useful and
find a place in the world. So it is with
the sheep. We have here many less
kinds than exist in that small country,
England, more properly Great Brit
ain and Ireland, or the United King
dom, but there each man swears by
his favorite kind, that it is the best,
and so it is for him. And so let us
all choose according to our fancy, and
and then make our choice, by skillfFl
culture, the best for each one of us.
There is no war Of breeds anywhere

The Onions Virtues.

Onions are really sweeteners OF the
breath after the local effects have
passed away, says one learned doctor.
They correct stomach disorders, and
carry on the accumulated poisons Of
the system. They provide blood
purifier that all may freely use. As a
vermifuge the onion cannot be sur
passed, and eaten raw will often check
a violent cold in the head One small
onion eaten every night before retiring
is this well-known doctors prescrip-
tion for numerous affections Of the
head, and is highly recommended for
sleeplessness. 1t acts on the nerves
in soothing way, without the injuri-
Gus effects Of the drugs often applied.
The heart of the onion heated and
placed in the ear will often relieve the
agony Of earache; while the syrup pro-
duced from sprinkling a sliced onion
with sugar and baked in the oven is
said to work wonders for Group.

helping 10 advance the race. The
only thing 10 be done Is 10 get the
chosen breed Of the best sheep posi-
BILE, and then by the best management

the man whose mind could not be

Hoods Pills Ean. Digestion e 9sn 2sr'
siberla,s Snow Flower.

Travellers in Siberia tell Of the won.
derlul flower that grows there and
which blooms only in January, when
the winter is at its height. The bios
som has something Of the characteris-
tic of morning glory" lasting only
a single day. The flower, when it
opens, is star-shaped, its petals Of the
same length as the leaves, and about
half an inch in width. On the third
day the extremities Of the anthers,
which are five in number, show min
ute, glistening specks, veritable vege-
able diamonds, about the size of a
pins head-these are the seed of the
flower. A Russian nobleman named
Anthoskoff took a number of the seeds
to St. Petersburg. They were placed
In a pot Of snow and frozen earth. On
the coolest day of the following Janu-
airy the miraculous flower burst
through its icy covering and displayed
its beauties to the wondering scien-
lists. The plant has been very ap-
propriately named "the snow flower"

Strange Fact About vases.

The magnetism of Tuscan vases has
been further investigated by Signor
G. FolgherNiter. These vases must
have been fred while standing, ac-
quiring permanent magnetism in the
direction of the earth's magnetic force
while in that position, and the dip of
their north pole is found to vary from
fifteen degrees above the horizon to
fifteen degrees below. The present
magnetic dip at Florence is sixty de-
grees, and it is believed that the
needle pointed above the horizon in
the eighth century B. c., and was
horizontal some centuries later.

Puberty is the period when menstruation
IS established. 1t is the time when the girl
becomes q woman, and also the time from
which many female diseases date. The
menstrual flow usually continues from three
20 six days and comes on about every
twenty-eight days. The quantity exuded
varies from two to eight ounces, but the
amount consistent with the health of one
person may be excessive and weakening in
another. The function is regarded as being
regular when its effect upon the system is
favorable. The departures from healthy

THE sILKWoRM INDUSTRY

Periodically we see labored articles
advocating the silkworm industry in
California as a source of wealth. The
silkworm, in this section of the world,
promises fair and performs but i'll.
There are several breeds of them and
all of them are esthetic in the extreme.
They know a mulberry leaf when they
see it, and make better silk from some
varieties of leaves than from others.
They have a feeble constitution, but a
ravenous appetite. They must be lifted
up tenderly and handled with care.
They will die if you look at them. and die
if you don't. They live only few weeks
at most, but their proper entertainment
is nothing less than a science.
In Japan, where labor can be had for
10 cents day. the idiosyncracies of the
silkworm may be studied and their COM
fort assured; but in California there is
positively no money for capitalists in
the production, Of silk cocoons.
Some people have the silk habit, just
as others persist in endeavoring to per-
suade the unwilling banana to bear fruit
in frosty regions; and the cultivation of
this fad does no harm as long as unad-
vised parties are not induced to invest
their money in an Improbable venture.
Silk culture is essentially small in
dustry and can only succeed as such.
AS an aid to farming. to keep the boys
and girls out of mischief, or to furnish
employment for the good housewife who
would otherwise not have anything to
do, it will prove interesting the first
year, a pastime the second and bring in
quarter of dollar the tenth, providing
the worms are properly cared for and
not allowed to contract cold Other
wise there is no money in the business.

WHY NOT CAPTURE THIS
TRADEP
The following is from the Tacoma
West Coast Trade:

The following is from the Tacoma
West Coast Trade:
The Transit took out a full cargo for Cen
trail American ports from Seattle. last
week. The total value was $4,000, made up
as follows: Two thousand one hundred and
eighty-nine barrels of flour. worth ss06o.sS;
5S2 900 feet Of lumber s664s: beer. wines and
whisky, s3722: oats and hay, s210; groceries,
sl050; hardware. $500. The value of the
miscellaneous freight was s1050. Among
the more important items in the latter class
was a consignment of electric supplies
worth 1927 to be used in putting plant in
at Guatemala City. There were ten barrels
of tallow fifty barrels of plaster and 100
barrels of lime.
and there is no reason why Los Angeles
should not be the beneficiary of this bus
mess. 1t ought to be done from here to
much better advantage than from Seat
tie. We are more than 1000 miles nearer
and our market is larger than that of
Seattle Los Angeles has more manu-
factories than all the cities north of San
Francisco combined. On all orders for
miscellaneous goods we can do as well
If not better than Puget Sound ports.
Again, we are much more closely in
touch with Spanish America, and in the
natural order of things it ought to be
easier for us to do business with our
neighbors on the south.
Let few of our wholesale houses COM
bine and send a salesman down there to
make a close study of trade conditions,
and the wants of the people. Let him
report what he finds they are buying
and what style of packing is popular
There is something at all the ports be-
tween Mazatlan and Panama which we
could use here.
The agent might take samples with
authority to sell. In this way his COM
missions ought to pretty nearly pay his
way. He would have to be guaranteed
expenses and fair remuneration for
his time.
No doubt in this way in a years time
a good business could be built-up. Los
Angeles must not sit down and wait for
business to come to her doors. This ter
ritory to the south is we'll worth careful
working. Trade with Spanish-America
pays big profits, and the terms are very
favorable to the seller. He can collect
his debts.

THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION

The late decision of the supreme court
of the United States, declaring the lille
galfty of the Transmissouri Freight as
sociation. has produced widespread con-
sternation among the similarly consti-
tuted freight and passenger associa-
tions all over the country. These alli-
ances formed for the purpose of main
tanning agreed rates and for the pooling
of traffic, have never had the sanction
of the law. On the contrary, it was only
necessary to glance over the charters of
the corporations entering into these
combinations to see that such associa-
tion was wholly unauthorized, and
hence ultra wires and lawless. The traf-
fic associations were suffered to exist,
however, and to levy their exactions,
chiefly for the reason that they had be-
hind them such vast wealth and strong
political influence that 1t seemed for
