WELL BROKEN HORSES.


The Silent Man Generally Has the
Most Manageable Animals.
Has any one ever noticed that 81
lent man has usually the best broken
horses? 1t may not be true, but all the
men OF my acquaintance who DO not
talk much have well broken horses.
Drive with them, and you will wonder
how they manage their horses. NO
management is visible. The horse goes
where he Is wanted without apparent
effort OH the part Of the driver. One
famous turfman at least has been not
ed for his art in driving horse to the
limit of his speed without making
move while his rivals were lifting ana
yelling and whipping theirs. How did
he do It? Don't know, but he was
man Of few words.
Probably there is lesson in this.
The average horse understands only
few things thoroughly. only few
words, signs or commands. The silent
man gives only few, and he does NOT
confuse his horse. The horse - mace
to know them thoroughly. He under
stands the man who understands him.
1t is a pleasure to drive horse that
understands. Few pleasures in life can
equal it if the horse is a good. cheer

How the Peach Was Produced.

That the luscious peach has been de-
rived from the hard shelled almond can
no longer be successfully denied. 1t is
said that the peach in it's original soil
was virulent poison and that the Per-
sian warriors brought to Persia some
of the seeds and planted them for the
purpose of poisoning the points Of their
arrows so as to render wounds caused
by them to be fatal, but a change of
climate and soil produced fruit
which is hot only luscious, but is es-
teemed exceedingly healthful.

of Lieutenant Lytie Brown, Lngineer
Corps, tried by court martial for
assault and battery upon Charles O.
Ziegenfuss. a Manila editor. and for
conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman"
Lieutenant Brown took offense at an
article in the paper conducted by Zie-
genfuss. and. proceeding to the latter's
house, attacked and beat him, knock
ing out two of his teeth and kicking
and jumping upon him. For this
Brown was sentenced to be repri-
manded. but the court says his conduct
was not ungentlemanly. General
Chaffee, in reviewing the court martial
says
In giving effect to the too lenient
sentence of the court, Lieutenant
Brown is reminded that the first quail
ification of good citizenship consists in
scrupulously refraining from violation
of the law. Lieutenant Brown will
doubtless learn In time that his method
of securing personal redress when
smarting under adverse criticism in
separable from public life can not lead
to enviable notoriety much less to
honorable distinction among officers

will agree with Mr. Marlatts diagnosis.

The pamphlet discusses at length the
origin and habits of the roach. and an
alyzes the different species. The i'm
portant part OF the paper however, re-
lates TO the methods of killing the
pests. The best remedy is 'fumigation
by hydrocyanic gas, which is not likely
to meet with favor from the ordinary
citizen who has reaches in his house
The gas can be safely used when the
methods of fumgaticn are thoroughly
understood and the department has
prepared a special bulletin showing
how it may be employed with safety.

There are cOmmOner methods of pX-

The author says that reaches are ex-

eral use of pyrethrum powder. or bu-
bach. This drives them away, but il
soils the sheleves and other objects

sulphur busted about is also said to be
effective.
Phosphorus paste in the form 0f
pills. consisting of sweetened -four,
with one or two per cent Of phOs-
phorus, spread on bits of cardboard
and placed in the runway of the
reaches. is said to kill many of them.
Other methods of fumigation than
hydrocyauic acid gas are described BIZ
sulphide of carbon will kill them.
This substance, if placed about room
infested with reaches, at the rate OF
one pound to every 1000 cubic feet OF
air space. will destroy the pest The
room must be thoroughly sealed up and
left for twenty-four hours. Great caU-
tion must be taken to have no fire of
any kind about. as the substance IS
violently explosive in the presence of
fire The rooms must be thoroughly
aired after the gas is used.
