A writer in the Critic speaks some
what scofiingly OF the requirements OF
Boston culture as applied to all
walks of life. OF course her tone Is
satlrlcal. and she gives humorous Illus
trations, the best of which Is this:
Learning, like religion, has in all ages
its martyrs, its Galileos, its Glordano
Brunos. Visiting in Nebraska a few
years ago, | was told the following
story: A brakeman from Boston was
employed on the line of railroad run
ming from Nebraska city to Beatxlce.
When 1t became his duty to call out
the name of this last station, he pro
nounced 1t in the most approved rus
can Bay-ah-tree-chay."
The passengers, simple souls, were al
loss what TO do. They rose from their
seats and hesitated Some sat aswn
again. and 80 were carried past theii
destination. This sort of thing coutin
ued. the brakeman was compliance of,
and he lost his place.

The weights of classes of students
before and after examination have been
made the subject of recent investiga-
ton. In high classes. where ma turally
the responsibility OF the examination

several pounds were lost, showing how
the mental strain was felt. In lower
classes the loss was not SO great.
An elaborate investigation into the
protection of Iron and steel against cor

NJ. Auguste Chaveau finds that sugar
has more value than fat as an ingredi-
ent of diet for a man at work. In fact,
IS parts by weight Of sugar are equiv
alent to one hundred parts OF fat.
Sugar Is not only better than fat be-
cause 1t supplies more heat and energy
to the person, but also because 1t pro-
notes the assimilation OF proteids, or
to speak generally. because Of Its infiu-

Near Wiederman's, Texas, is an aban-

WHEN LOVE PASSED BY.

When Love passed by. the heart grew
brave and glad,
Hope seemed true guide. and apprehen-
sion vain;
Life's sternest need no longer marvel had.
And all Gods purpose greatened and
seemed plain.
When Love passed by. then Nature open
Ind
Her lovely secrets. wrote her meanings
clear;
Her common beauty was all holy made.
Her lore grew mystical, when Love was
near.
When Love passed by, all fellowships
were sweet.
The heart was regnant, aud its own
could claim;
Then thought swept in on rhythmic, flying
feet
Not that Love tarried. but because he
came.
All, Love, thou, knocking at a barred
door.
And passing on. or finding shelter high,
Art still Gods envoy, bring'st His gifts
before.
And dost bestow them-when thou

Care of work Horses.

Break to lead when young, never put
a halter on that may be broken, as q
break may spoil the colt. Feed grain
as soon as possible. Break to drive
early. Never work until four years
old. In breaking colt, always hitch
with a steady, strong horse. Always
have the harness fit well, especially
the collar. A work horse should have
daily two pounds OF feed for every 100
pounds of live weight, and IS pounds
of this should be grain. 1t is mis-
take to'feed as much hay as most farm
ers do. Water before and after feeding.
Keep the teeth in good shape, as all
the reward and pleasure that many OF
our farm horses receive is what they
eat, and we should see that this pro-
cess is not painful.
