EAT SAND FOR DYSPEPSIA

The english have adopted quite an
original plan. In many houses, on the
table by the side OF the pepper box and
the salt box is placed a sand bo1-a
little receptacle filed with fine sand' AS
aae A. -four, which is sprinkled..over all
the food. A medical journal has ad-
vissd dyspeptics to adopt this remedy.
The sand, mingling with the alinen-
taxy mas, renders it less compact and
makes digestion more easy. This has
become the fashion, and since the Eng
lish have begun to eat sand it is certain
that the French snobs who initiate
their nsighbsrs across the channel like
monkeys will soon be devourins it.

RDBT BbNNER AND Hfs HORSES

Commenting on Robert Bonner's
love of horses, his refusal to allow his
horses to run in race or for money
and his never driving on the Sabbath,
the Charlotte Observer says:
The late Rev. DR.. John A, Preston,
of this city, was passionately fond OF
horses, and said that it was pro-
found regret to him that the betting
feature had become SO inseparably con-
nected with every test OF speed on the
part Of these mettlesome, intelligent,
handsome creatures.
Rosa Bonheur's lifelong study OF
the horse h given us some beautiful
paintings, and added to the sum OF
fine art. '.Black Beauty" has become
a classic in our modern literature. Who
can read the chariot race in Ben Hur,
in which the star-famed Arabs win the
day, without tossing his cap in the
air? And yet, what in all art and liter
allure, can compare with Jehovah's own
description of Ais superb handiwork;
Hast thou given thehorse strength
Hast thou clothed his neck with thun-
aerf
AGAINST thou make him afraid rs o
grasshopperi The glory Of his nostaiis
is terrible.
"He paweth in the valley and re-
ioiceth in his strength. He goeth on
to meet the armed men.
He mocketh at fear and is not al
frighted; neither turne.h he back from
the sword.
"The culver rattleth against him,and
the glittering spear and the shield.
"He swalloweth the ground with
ferceness and rage; neither believeth
he that tits the sound of the trumpet,
"He sayeth among the trumphesS'
Ha, Ia; and he smelleth the battle
sfsr of. the thunder of the captains
and the shouting"
The horse appeals to mans natural
love Of thebeautiful, the symmetrical,
the strong. No wonder he has been
The pride of noble men.

it is no defense Of trusts that they
