An Improvement In Horse Blankets

Some of the most successful patents
ever granted were for simple improve.
ments, which were successful partly
because they were so simple that any
one could perceive their usefulness at
a glance. The latest improvements
in horse blankets Is of this character.
The patent is on the girths, which are
on the bias, the girths attached to the
fore part of the blanket crossing under
the horses belly and buckling to the
girths attached to the hind part
These bias girths prevent most of the
blanket troubles of horse owners and
stablemen, keep the blanket always
in position without binding the horse
and save all the blanket wear and
tear caused by slipping and trampling
Even by rolling and kicking a horse
cannot displace the bias. girth
blankets. A glance at a horse
blanketed with bias girth blanket
will show how beautifully the blanket
is kept in place, very much on the
same principle that a mans suspen-
ders keep his trousers evenly hung
The patent is owned by William Ayres
& Sons, Philadelphia, and bias girths
are found only on the famous 5.A
blankets made by that firm. A postal
card addressed to them will bring an
interesting book on the horse blanket
question.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Hospitality Exemplified at the Presby.
terrain Prayer Meeting.

Last Sabbath morning at the Pres
byterian church, Rev. Lee w. Beattie
preached sermon on "Hospitality,"
as grace especially taught in the
Bible. 1t was suggested the weekly
prayermeetipg this week be devoted
to developing this grace in practical
manner. The suggestion proved to be
a most happy one. The pastor, elders,
trustees and their wives, officers Of
the Sunday school, ladies society and
Y. P. S. G. E. were reception com
mittee for all the rest Of the church
and congregation and any strangers
who might be in the city or those
tranciently with us here.
The lecture room and parlors were
well filed. An hour and a half was
spent in social intercourse and &C.
Quainting strangers with one another
and the church people. Lemonade
was served by the young men. The
last fifteen minutes were spent in
song, reading of two poems on "Hos-
pitality" by Leigh Hunt and James
Montgomery, quotations from Scrip.
ture and prayer by the pastor. When
the gathering broke up, the unusual
expression was, such weekly meetings
were not only delight, but profitable
in developing the truly Christian
spirit, and will undoubtedly be adopt
ed as regularly monthly observance.
They are not exclusive; everybody in
the city welcomed.
