HORSES AND ROADS.
Owners of High-Bred Animals Ad.
vance Theory That Appears
Just O Little Selfish,

What is called q new view Of the
good roads question appears in a
recent number of the Horse World, in
the form of statement from DR.. II. H.
Kane, president of the Drivers and
Riders League of New York. In sup
port of his belief that there should be
q modification of the terms demanded
by the present agitators for good roads,
DR.. Kane says among other things
that farmers and haulers of heavy
loads of merchandise on our roads do
not own rs per cent. of the horses in
the United States. Hence, the argu-
ment in favor of stone roads for their
benefit should not have SO much
weight; that even if we admit that
stone roads are an excellent thing for
the farmer, they are a positive source
of injury and disease to the horses of
Others; that in districts where stone
roads prevail shoeing must be done one
third oftener than in the case of horses
used on dirt roads.
The doctor mentions that the good
roads movement was started by the L.
A. w., and that they cannot be blamed
for looking after their own interests,
but that it is not fair to favor one
class and work positive injury to horse
owners when there is feasible plan
for so constructing roads as to equally
benefit all drivers, equestrians, automo-
bilists farmers and bicyclists. DIR.
Kane's plan is to have one road (the
main artery of traffic to and from the
principal market) built of stone for the
farmers and those who do heavy truck.
ing, and having this road and all Others
where there is much traffic so built
that the center is of stone, space OF
six or eight feet wide on each side
made into good dirt road with or with
out cycle path, as the L. A. W. may
deem advisable.
DR.. Kane's argument does not rep.
resent new view of the road question
so much as reiteration of the old
plan of owners of high-bred horses,
who have long held that hard roads
worked havoc with the delicate and
shapely limbs of their costly pets.
There is doubtless some truth in this,
but the great majority of the public
who are interested in having good
roads for many other practical pur.
poses than as a speedway for choice
stock, will wonder how such horses
can be kept in the city without the in
furious results attributed to hard coun-
try roads. Even though DR.. Kane ex-
plains that he favors the best kind OF
dirt road, it is not probable that his
plan of a road with stone center and
dirt sides could be made serviceable.
In the first place, not all country roads
are wide enough to permit of a
satisfactory trial of the double plan,
and it is not likely that those who use
such a road would equalize the traffic
so as to prevent it from becoming very
uneven. a good dirt road with a
basis of stone is all right in certain dis
tricts, but for sections where there is
considerable traffic it is doubtful if the
macadam road, with frequent coverings
of sand, can be improved upon.

Ny little son
Sits with his gaudy playthings on the floor,
And laughs and COOS with tnfantile delight,

An hour ago,
When last he saw me as left him there,
His little heart seemed broken with woe
Beyond all hope of healing and repair;
But now he does not seem to care

The Greater Magic ;

MILE. DORAMINTED DIE BRUNETTE,
wi the reins of her paifrey in her left
hand, knelt on the greensward for
moment to admire an overturned
beetle of the most gorgeous mail, which
she had almost crushed in riding. The
sun glints, that made of the beetle
glitter of crimson and blue, and OF her
hair, as she stopped down, brown and
gold wonder, struck down through
roof of rustling leaves. For all around
the beech woods stretched, quiet and
magical.
''But if the charming Doraminte
should discover"
She started up at hearing herself so
suddenly discussed. The voice she
recognized as that of a certain NJ. Mar
tin-one of the many men supposed to
be languishing for her sake-a fool,
nevertheless, and detestable. She
Judged from the sound that he must
be hidden by triple row of beeches.
It was an impertinence to use her fore
name-even with the epithet. If she
should discover-what? Mile. de Bru-
netie had no wish to listen, but she
stopped again to admire the beetle.
''She will not discover"
Worse and worse. This was another
reputed sutton speaking, de Beautlet by
name, whom she misliked for knave.

TITAN OF IMMENSE VALUE.
An Offer of $1,OOC. 600 Made for q
Great Painting b. That
Artist,

The preposterous report that some
one had offered $1,C00.000 for Titan's
celebrated painting of "Sacred and
Profane Love-" in the Borghese collec-
ton at Rome, is due in all proba bility
to the universal hunger for astonishing
people, although it may have some
color of possibility to the Imagination
of kindergarten fnanciers. 1nsensate
prices have been paid for Raphaels. that
in the National gallery especially,
which came from the Marlborough col
| lection, also for the works of other old
masters, but never any such incredible
price as this! Yet it would be hard
matter to set the exact limit of value
in the case of sale of Titan, more par
| ticularly such an example as the abb
surdly misnamed "Sacred and Profane
| Love-" If there exists in the word a
picture worth $1,000,000, who would be
bold enough to deny the right of Titan,
| the potentate of painters, to be the au-
thor of that work? AS to the picture
known by the title of Sacred and Pro-
fame Love"-a title which Titan did
not give it, and which has needlessly
| puzzled many commandments now
| generally considered simply as fam
ciful or romantic composition, says the
| Boston Transcript.
But Franz Wickoff, German critic,
has evolved theory, which has a good
deal to recommend it, that this picture
represents an incident in the seventh
book of the "Argonautica" of Valerius
Flaccus, the Latin poet, where it is re-
lated that Medea, the enchantress,
| daughter of Aeetes, king of Colchis, I'M
| willing to yield to her love for the
| Greek Jason, is visited by Venus, who:
pleads for the lover and endeavors to
| persuade Medea to follow her to the
| wood where Jason is waiting. Titan
| has represented this scene as taking
| place in the open air; the dawn is just
| breaking and rosy streaks appear on
the horizon. A young woman, richly
dressed, is seated on one side of the
scu,ptured stone basin of fountain,
on the edge of which she has placed
costly casket. Her right hand is in her
lap and holds bunch of magic herbs.
Deeply moved, she gazes fixedly before
her. lending ear the while to the per-
susive voice of another woman seated
near. The form of this woman, around
which flutters red mantle, is of mar
velous beauty. She rests her right
hand upon the fountains edge, and
with her left holds on high vase from
which issues light smoke. Between
the two women the god of love is
splashing in the water with his chubby
little hands.
Mr.. Wickoff maintains that in the
beautiful nude figure Venus is easily
recognizable. even were her son not
there to indicate her presence. The
woman to whom she speaks. and who
though unwilling to yield blindly, still!
feels herself drawn by an irresistible
power. is Medea, who betrayed the
king, her father, and followed Jason,
the stranger and enemy of her people.

External Signs of Good Mixer That

When farmer is about to buy q

looks carefully about him to find a

to consider whether the cow, from her
general appearance, seems to be fitted
to do good work in the dairy or not.

Increasing the Tomato Crop.

If you want your tomato plants to
bear plenty of fruit do not feed them
too literally with manure until each
is furnished with at least three punches
of fruit Too much manure encour-
ages rank growth, which is not con-
ducive to fruit bearing. Keep all side
shoots removed, allowing one main
stem only to each plant. Do not re-
move any of the leaves unless they are
diving or infected with disease. To-
matoes in greenhouses should get plen-
~ of air daily. During the middle OF
the day give each plant gentle shake
to distribute the pollen and insure fruit
forming freely.

TEETH AGE MARKS.
Rules Adopted for the Guidance of
Live Stock Judges in England
and Ireland.

Nowadays, when early maturity is
being so much cultivated in the case
of all breeds of stock, the dentition
of farm animals shows much more
variation than was usual in the old
DAYS. when animals were not forced
to finish at anything like the high
rate of pressure which has of late
years been INDUCED in. One Of the
consequences of this high-pressure-sss-
tenn of feeding has been that the lead
ing English show-promoting bodies.
such as the Smithfeld club, the Royal
and other agricultural societies, have
found it necessary to lay down special
rules for the determination of the
ages of such animals as are exhibited
at their shows. The Royal Dublin So
ciety, in common with the other lead
ing agricultural bodies, has found it
necessary to adopt certain regulations
in this direction. The rules for cattle
follow:
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors cut will be considered as
exceeding one year and six months.
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors fully up will be consid-
cred as exceeding one year and nine
months.
Cattle having their second pair of
permanent incisors fully up will be con-
sidered as exceeding two years and
three months.
Cattle having their third pair of in
cisors cut will be considered as ex-
ceeding two years and eight months.
Cattle having their fourth pair (cor-
ner) permanent incisors fully up, and
their anterior molars showing signs
of wear, will be considered as exceed.
ing three years.

Turkish Lime.

A recent visitor to Constantinople
reports one custom of the Turks
which causes vast deal of trouble
and confusion. This is the Turkish
system of reckoning time. A Turk
holds that the day begins exactly at
sunset; at that time he sets his
clocks and watches at the hour Of
12 AS the sun has the same habits
in presiding over Turkey that he ex-
ercises with regard to other localities,
it may easily be seen that this sys-
tenn of reckoning time necessitates
setting the clocks every day. It ap-
pears that watch which could run
for weeks without gaining or losing
a minute would be of no special value
to a Turk.-Youth's Companion.

The lady whose experience was given
had read in work on natural history
that if an earthworm were divided the
anterior part would grow a tail and
the posterior part would grow head.
She said: Il took ~ worms and d.
vided them, placing the divided parts
of each worm in a separate glass. In
less than month 1 had 20 worms,
losing only two tail parts. The head
parts had grown tails and the tail
parts had grown heads. A second ex-
