horse at the Club livery stable

ought to be. He is a long-legged,
gangling animal. His owner. Henry

infatuation for an incandescent light
burning in front of him. He kept try
ing to touch it with his nose. He sue
ceeded and set the light to swinging.
He kept it in motion and when it
swung near enough to him he seized it,
bit it off and swallowed it. Mr.. George,
who happened to be watching the ex-
hibition, said the horse spit out a very

TESTING DAIRY COWS.-Since the
milk question came up one OF the lead
ing physicians of the city told a local
dairyman that he did not wish to re-
commend his milk, OR for that matter,
the milk from any local dairy until his
COWS were thoroughly tested for their
general healthfulness. The same state

ers of the dairy that the proprietor has
decided that it will be for his own
interest to do so, and has therefore ar
ranged with DR.. Norton to have his

been submitted to the tuberculosis test
and found free from disease. DR.. Nor

handled here. any infection that might
appear would not be likely to spread
