Mrs. Brownina's Appearance.

Mrs. Browning wore her hair in long
ringlets. which, falling very much over
her face and when seen i'm profile sug-
gested the unplcasing idea of blnkers
that harshly cut across the graceful
curves OF brow and cheek. 1t was this
style Of arranging her dark hair that
made Mrs. Browning look not old
fashioned, for that would have given
a touch of sentiment, but strangely
out of the fashion Her slight, pretty
figure was rather disguised than set
off by garments that fell looping
around her. But. thank heaven. she

men who acknowledge themselves to
be failures as women by aping n mas

A correspondent of Breeders Ga,
zette states that dispute is raging in
bis neighborhood as to "the shaping
up of horses for market" He saws be
holds that locked horses bring most
money in the larger cities, while an
other says that if shipper should
send in from the country q pair of
short tailed horses the buyers would
call them secondhand and refuse to
pay, or be afraid to pay, what they
really were worth. Other points also
are in controversy. Strangely enough
both Of these controversialists are in
measure correct. Docked horses do
bring the most in the large cities, but
seldom from the shippers hands. Dock
ing should be left TO the professional
dealers. Once in awhile one of these
buyers will pay full price for a locked
performer, but not often. These deal
ers want to do the docking themselves
Exporters will hardly buy a locked
horse at all. In their case they surely
are afraid Of getting something sec
ondhand. They want them long tailed
in the rough or not at all. They can
not afford to pay for the finished prod |
uct. Most likely it is in the finishing
process that they hope to make their
profits. The best advice that can be
given to breeders desiring to get good
prices fOr good horses is to present
them to buyers in as nearly natural
shape as possible and in the best con-
lition as to flesh and care. Let the

We Want Comfort.

1t is astonishing what people will
sacrifice in order to get comfort. OF
even temporary relief from whatever
annoys or harnesses them. They will
let golden opportunities slip, by pro
estimating, for the sake of their
comfort, until the chances are gone.
They do not like to get up early in
the morning, because they are so
comfortable in bed. They do not
like to go out in storm or in cold
weather, because it is socozy at home,
or in their Offices and so they lose
many u chance.
