War Fatal to Docked Horses.

The vicious and cruel habit of dock
ing horses tails is held by humane
persons in England to have been one
cause of the large loss Of horses in the
English army in South Africa. The
regular army horses have their natural
tails, but as volunteer soldiers are
called for in time Of war, so volunteer
horses are drafted and in England the
fashion outside Of the army is to dock
the tails Of horses.
The chief scourge to animals of the
african campaign has been the flies,
and against these pests the docked
horses had no protection. The agony
they suffered contributed undoubtedly
to the heavy mortality among the ami
mails.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
tion but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is

refuse to give information on that
subject, except that the reconmenda-
tions of the Taft Commission will be
followed.
The Philippines Commission is now
touring various paciied parts of the
islands, setting up local governments.
This fact and the further fact that the
Administration will hardly set date
for the Inauguration Of civil govern
ment without knowing something
about the kind Of Government to be
set up, leads to the belief that the
Commissions recommendations on the
form Of government have already
been been received at the War De-
partment, and that the President and
his Cabinet are we'll aware Of lie kind
of Government they are going to es-
tablish.
The scheme for the establishment Of
civil government has been Under way
for some time. All the late reports
Of Major General Macarthur and the
Taft Commission have given encour-
agement to the theory that the war
has reached stage in which 1t need
no longer interfere with the estab-
lishment Of wand order and the sub
ordination of the military to the civil
power. The event which led to the
making public Of the news was the
announcement received from Major
General Macarthur that the "only
Lieutenant General of the insurgent
army had surrendered and taken the
oath and that this marked the final
stage of the insurrection."
In view of this intelligence, it was
felt that the war was so nearly over
as to make it no longer necessary to
delay the announcement Of the place
for civil government.
