A japanese who was a student q
Harvard not long ago was once asked
by some of his American FELLOWSHIP
dents to teach them some japanese
words" He began by giving them
good morning" in japanese. This
phrase is represented in japanese by
a word which in English equivalents
cannot be more closely represented
than by the word "Ohio." The boys
were interested and promised to re-
member it.
Next morning. when the japanese
student came to the lecture-room, he
found a group of the boys gathered to
give him the morning salutationin Jap
anese:
Pennsylvania" shouted one of
them.
Kentucky" yelled another.
"Vrginia!" New Hampshire!"
Rhode Island" still others called.
But not one of them said "Ohio!" II
was the American idea of a great joke.

and made a note of it-Boston Tran.

Ca.hmeres and Cloths.

Cashmeres and light weight clothA
Will be in style this spring, and also
during the summer. Some Of the new
est of these materials are charming in
texture and color. Gray. which has
been so fashionable all winter. will be
in favor again, there being many DIFF
ferent shades to choose from. White,
too, is TO be quite the rage. There are
already a number Of charming white
gowns being made up in both CASH
mere and cloth. One, very attractive,
is made with coat and skirt trimmed
with applique Of cut work. The coat is
to be worn over a white chiffon waist.
One of the newest ideas is to have these
cloth suits in white or very light gray.
with the chiffon waists to be worn I'M
derneath. OF course this is only the re-
vival of an old fashion, but the effect is
so charming it was worth while reviv-
ing it-Harper's Bazaar.

ELECTRICITY AT WORK.

The royal vaults under the Albert
Memorial chapel at Windsor castle have
been lighted by electricity.
The first Chinese electric railway has
been opened, and connects the PeEing
railway station and the south gate Of
the capital. The Chinese have not any
very serious objections to electricity,
as it does moi profane the air as does
the locomotive, which i%rritates the spir-
its of the water and air.
A burglar has been caught in London.
and. according TO the English Electrical
Engineer. among his implements Of
trade was found a portable electric
light set. Ii was undoubtedly intended
to be used in his business. as it could
be easily switched on and off, and there
would be an entire absence of odor.
II the laundry of an insane asylum at
Pontiac, Mich, electric irons instead of
gas irons have proved to be peculiarly
adapted for insane asylum service,
where most of the work is done by the
patients. There is no chance of their

and as the irons are kept at an even tenn
perature they do not require the exer-
else of judgment in changing them.
1t is nearly six years since the first
electric boat. imported from the United

The following extracts from a letter

spring there were 25 quarter-seetions of
land vacant and to-day there is not one;
1 can stand at my house and count 10
houses where there was not one last
spring, with six more to go up this
spring. This is only a sample of what
is going on all round. We intend to
build 4 church next summer, right
close TO my place, so we will be strict-
" in line. 1t would have amused you
to have been here last spring. There
were crowds of land-seekers. and some
times in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
discontented. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
4 letter in the paper. only for which he
never would have come here. and he
was very hostile. but eventually he got
a place. and to-day claims he would not

so l am glad he is satisfied.

Two sides of Sheen Raising.

Sheep raising affords a profit asice
from the wool produced. But many
farmers seem totally blind to this fact
They do not seem to consider that the
sheep is a mutton producer as well as a
wool producer, and that mutton has a
good ash value. Time will come when
there will be growers for both mutton
and wool, each specializing. This is
true to-day to some extent. There are
special wool and distinct mutton types,
though a good many sheep raisers seek
a breed combining both qualities. How
ever, either type is valuable for more
than its one special product-wool or
mutton. and in order to secure the larg-
estprofit from sheep breeding attention
should be given the mutton considers
tions.-Farmers' Voice.

DRAFT R POINTS
Every Feature Of the Animal ShouIA
Indicate kindliness, Intelligence
add Strength.

Size is an important item in the
draft horse, provided, of course,
that his disposition is such mat his
size and strength can be used to ad-
vantage.
The 1000 or 1.So0-pound horse can
not draw the load that the LSoO-pound
horse can, SO that the buyer of a good
draft team usually wants them as
large as possible. provided they are
as good as they are big.
While there Will always be a consid-
ersble difference of opinion among
buyers on minor points, in general the
main points will be similar.
The neck should be deep, but not
too thick above, and should appear to
be a part Of the animal rather than
stuck on. The head. neck, ears, ami.
indeed, the whole horse, should indi-
cate kindness, intelligence, energy
ana vigor. q :
The shoulder must be strong and
muscular, and should stand at nearly
right angles, as he viii thus get hole
Of his load better. In a coach or car
riage horse a sloping shoulder is de-
sirable, but not SO in a heavy draft
horse. While the leg should be clean
below. it should be well muscled above.
with strong. well-defined tendons, es-
pecially behind, and gracefully thick
enrng and widening up the arm and
thigh, until their outlines are lost in
a symmetrical arch at their connection
with the body. Such a formation sets
the legs under the horse. rather than
stuck on his sides and ends like the
legs of a trestle. A horse may get
alrng If he is a little loose in front,
but any weakness behind units him
for draft purposes. An open gait be-
hind is often desirable in a trotter. but
a draft horse must travel with his legs
under him, rather than spraddled.
The hind legs are the fulcrum upon
which the power and the load must
rest in heavy draft horses, and it is I'M
portant that they be in the best posi-
ton of correct formation. A deep,
well-sPrung rib makes room for large.
healthy vital organs. A large. sound
middle, with a fu.l flank. denotes good
feeding qualities, while being well
RIBBED denotes an easy keeper. A
short, strong back and long, heavy,
muscular quarters are elements OF
strength as well as of beauty.-St.
