How to Tell q HOrse's Character.

Horse phrenology Is the latest dis
covery of the Royal College Of Veteri-
nary Surgeons Of England. Accord
ing to Harold Leeney, Il member of
the college, it Is easy to tell horses
character by the shape Of his nose. IT
there is gentle curve to the profile
and at the same time the ears arc
pointed and sensitive, 1t is safe to bank
on the animal as gentle and at the
same time high spirited. If. on the
other hand, the horse has a dent In
the middle of the nose, it Is equally
safe to set him down as treacherous
and vicious. The Roman nosed horse
is certain to be good animal for
hard work and safe to drive, but he Is
apt to be slow. A horse with slight
concavity in the profile will be scary
and need coaxing. A horse that droops
his ears is apt to be lazy as we'll as
