Made a Good Guess.

She was an amateur artist, and,
like most of her kind, considered
herself several laps in advance of
the average amateur. She was
eager, however, to know how her
work would impress one of the mas
tiers who had managed to grasp tickle
Fame by the back of the neck.
One day real painter called at her
home. and she Immediately conceived
the idea of testing him. She would
show him specimen of her handi-
work, but would reveal nothing that
might lead him to suspect her as
being the creator thereof. So the
fair amateur proceeded to guide the
real painter toward her masterpiece.
"Of what school would you call
this painting?" she asked, expect
antly.
"Of the boarding school," promptly
replied the real painter.-LondoE

CLOTHING DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
Odd Articles of Apparel That Are in
Common Use on H0rses and
Cows in England.

On the hottest day of the week a
distribution of hats for horses, pre-
sented to the poorer owners and driv-
ers of horses, took place in Vincent
yard, near Vincent square, Westmin-
Bter. The hats, of the most approved
pattern, were given by the society
known as Our Dumb Friends league,
and the applicants, ca bmen, car drivers
and vanmen, numbered over 300, says
q recent issue of the London Specta-
tor.
When the sage of Chelsea in 'Sartor
Resartus" drew his comparison be-
tween the horse wrapped only in his
own skin and the rider invested in
many portions of the skins of other
creatures he was, strictly speaking,
not quite accurate. For horses, or at
any rate modern rich mems horses,
are the most carefully clothed of any
animals. Complete Jaeger suits are
now advertised for their use. Like
gentlemen who wish to get into train
ing. they are often muffied up in them
and ridden SO wrapped up to get off
weight. Nor is it likely that horse
clothing will ever be in less request
than it is now, for unless they are
clipped their own coats take a long
time to dry, and are difficult to brush.
1t is convenience to clip them and
supply artificial garments.
When Oliver Cromwell inquired af-
fectionately after the "little brat"
with which Dorothy Cromwell had pre-
sented her husband, he was, according
to current belief in the north, alluding
unconsciously to form of animal gar
ment. The lambs are fitted, before 60
ing on to the hills. with waterproof
coats called 'brats." These lambs, or
whence the name for babies. Every
body knows that in Holland the cows
wear rainproof jackets all the winter.
which are only taken off late in spring.
but these are very cheap compared to
horse clothing, which costs about
three pounds set. Horses also have
night rugs and extra rugs, about SO
shillings the two, and summer suits
also, costing about two guineas.
Coats for show cattle are quite the
fashion in England, especially when
they are sent to distance. A really
smart Jersey cow would not like to be
seen at a show without her luggage:
chest containing not only her sleep,
ing jacket, but her brushes and combs.
She puts on, or has put on, the jacket
in the daytime if she has to stand in a
draughty place. If they are not sleep
ing out it does not matter. There are
many ladies who would almost go with
out jacket themselves rather than
see their best animals go to a show
without proper clothes.

HOW TO SAVE FUEL.
Some Points About Keeping Up Fire
Which May Have Escaped
General Notice.

In the first place, whatever amount
OF coal or wood you are buying have
your money ready and you are more
likely to get the best goods for it. Do
not rely upon the merchant who is
over-anxious to extend credit rather
than receive prompt cash; the former
will probably make up for his advance
by an advanced price or an inferior
quality of goods, while the latter
knows that your custom is only to be
held by fair dealing, says American
Queen.
There is with all things cheap sea-
son and dear season, especially for
COAL therefore not only buy with
ready money, but buy when coal is
cheap. The thrifty householder fills
his cellar bins in summer rather than
wait till cold weather sets in and
prices climb.
Do not keep roaring fire when it
is unnecessary. When the weather is
intensely cold, when one is ironing or
baking and perhaps in a case of sick
ness hot fire must be maintained and
an extra amount of coal consumed, but
in ordinary weather and except on
these special occasions the coal used
should be carefully watched and left
at the lowest quantity compatible with
comfort and convenience. Many house
Keepers and servants waste altogether
too much fuel, shoveling it in whenever
the idea seiZes them whether neces-
Sary or not
Coal fires should never be poked on
top If they appear to be sinking
and must be revived open the drafts
and gently pick out the cinders from
the bottom, shaking the crate if the
fire is not too nearly gone. If it has
sunk pretty low put on some good,
dry kindling wood and open all the
drafts; this is sometimes the only
way to save fire.
Many people do not consider that
they can use cinders to burn, but it can
be done very satisfactorily. Have a
coarse sieve for separating the ashes
from the cinders and sift them two or
three times week, wearing. an old
pair of gloves to protect the hands.
Have barrel or large box to, keep
the best of the cinders in and let them
accumulate until "January thaw,"
until the coolest weather is over and
spring breaks, when you still need a
fire but not very hot one. Then the
cinders will be just what you need.
Sprinkle them slightly with water be-
fore using and they will burn finely,

EVERY MAN HAS HIS MASTER.
! archs Are Subjects to Certain
Governing Conditions.

/ No man is completely free. Every
man has his master. The supremest
despot is a thrall, for there is some
body whom he fears and must court.
ffhe does not dread the plebs he breads
the patricians. If he is not afraid of
the people he is afraid of the army
with which he cows the people. If
there is danger in neither the rabble
nor the pretorian guard there is min
lister, or majordomo, foreign nation,
a jester, satirist, a dynamiter or
woman who worries and frightens him
and in measure controls his actions,
says the San Francisco Bulletin.
! Is the car of all the Russias an abb
solutely free man? He has not much
more liberty than a boy has at board
ing school. He cannot even marry
whom he pleases, but must be guided
in picking wife by reasons of state.
He would not dare to walk the streets
of his capital unattended. Nicholas
cannot live in peace of mind either at
home or abroad. He is harassed con-
tinually by politics, both foreign and
NOAiSobiS, ny SDlCS, SSINdHISy
by Cossack revolts and peasant rebel
lions. He must study his every act lest
he do something impolitic. In short,
he is the slave of his own greatness.
Take the case of monarch with linn
tied powers, such as Edward of Eng
land. He, too, is a prisoner within
that wall of majesty which doth hedge
about king. The high eminence cur
tails his freedom. He has many mas
ters-the people, parliament, the
prime minister, the press, the London
tradesmen, who clamor if he buys a
hat in France.
So, too, in humber stations every
man has his master. There is no boss
so powerful that he has not to do rev.
erence to another boss. The errand
man in bank takes orders from the
junior clerks, the junior clerks from
the seniors, the seniors from the
cashier, the cashier from the presi-
dent, the president from the directors.
the directors from the stockholders
and from the magnates of finance. The
magnates of $1,000,000 take orders
from the magnates of $4,000, 900, the
magnates of $4,000, 900 from those of
$100,0OO,000, and the latter are slaves of
their Wallets or their vices or of some
titled person through whom their
wives hope to be introduced to smart
society abroad.
Put two human beings together and
each will acquire mastery in some re-
spect over the other. The human race
is social body. Men are interdepend-
ent. Absolute freedom and splendid
isolation are alike impossible. Every
one must obey orders or suffer.
