A Combination Food For Horses

One of the best combination foods
for horses is green oats-that Is, oats
cut when the grain is in the milky
stage and cured 1ike hay. The straw
is then very nutritious, n the food
is arrested in the stalk while on its
way to fill out the grain. When cut
with q fodder cutter horses relish the
mess more than they do any other
coarse foods.

s'They We gone out from their Alma
Mater-safe now in the wide, wide world.
So runs the song which just now they are
singing in colleges and universities and
finishing academies, where fervent good
byes are being said and whence thousands
upon thousands of young men and young
women are preparing to move, in an unor-
ganized mass, upon the world of affairs.
There are among them valedictorians, class
presidents, editors of college publications,
captains of football teams, baseball cap
tains, hundred yards dash men, Toms who
were leaders of the banjo clubs and Jacks
who sang bass in the college glees, digs,
grinds, bootlicks, head debaters, college
and university society leaders, Hasty Pad
ding men under different titles, together
with host of middle stand men and tail
enders, who have not distinguished them
selves and were in general rather relieved
TO find that they we're included when the
diplomas were passed around.
With them, those who go to make up
this host are bringing into the wide, wide
world hopes and inspirations and ambi-
lions and resolutions and determinations,
philosophical orations delivered, J, knowl-
edge of Greek, Latin, modern languages
Gin moderation, higher mathematics, for
NAL logic, rhetoric, philosophy, the prob
lem of the external world, psychology
theism, ethics, biology. Some can spell,
add, subtract, multiply, divide; many can
not. All know that George Washington
was the Father of his Country and that
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, after
bringing about the preservation of the
Union and emancipation the slaves; some
have heard rumors of Jefferson and Mon :
roe, and Jackson and Clay, and Calhoun
and Webster, but few remember the exact
substance of what they heard about these
men. All these young men and women
are about to begin the search for the par
ticular inches which they feel fitted to &C
cupy, or for the first rungs of the ladder
which they believe themselves able to
climb. Almost all who seek it will find
employment Of one sort or another Then
they will settle down to decide, consciously
or unconsciously whether they will cling to
the inspirations which they have received OF
be like the man who, having intended to
build bridge to the moon, finally used the
boards which he had accumulated for the
purpose in the construction of wood shed.

4 WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sun.

All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry
up the mucuous membranes causing them TO
crack open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many years
made a close study and specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
Treatment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently cures
CATARRH, by removing the cause, stopping
the discharges, and curing all inflammation.
1t is the only remedy known to science that
actually reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as ''SNUFFLES

of success as the like institution in Kan
sas By this means the problem of convict
labor has been solved in these two States
to the satisfaction of about every one con
cerned, including the labor unions Mem
bers of the latter are gratifed, as well as
satisfied, as penitentiary made Irvine is a
direct slap at trust. The farmers, too,
are happy, as they get their binding Irvine
at from to cents less pound than is
charged for the product of the trust. The
only complaint in each State is that the
penitentiary plants are not large enough to
supply the demand.

Driftwood of the Ocean.

No trees grow anywhere on the coasts
of Western or Northern Alaska, and yet
these shores for thousands of miles and the
islands of Behring Sea are strewn with
immense quantities of driftwood, in places
piled high on the beach, bearing good tes-
timony to the work of the rivers. This
drift is the salvation Of the skimo, says
Scribner's Magazine, furnishing him with
fuel and material for the houses, boats and
sleds. The entire northeastern half OF
Behring Sea is very shoal, less than five
hundred feet in depth, while the south
western half is mostly ten or twelve thous-
and feet deep.
