bic amount of these products. An
interesting feature is an illustration

of the wood is shown together with
its products, turpentine, tar, tar OIL
creosote, pyroligneous acid, wood al
cohol and charcoal The charred re-
mains of the wood after these prod

One of the simplest, cheapest and
best sterilizers is sunshine, and it is
important TO allow as much sun in a
sick room as possible The same rule
is applicable to the rooms of healthy
people. The good effects of "sun

lescents is ample proof of the utility
of the rays of the sun for therapeutic
purposes.

TRAINING A RIDING HORSE,

have to be II horse trainer as well as a
riding mnster In fact, l couldn't very
well be the second without being the
first. always have horses in my
school stables here that are sent to me
to train for NY pupils. One came this
morning, and IL you have the time to
spare will show you how l give the
first lesson in obedience"
The master then ordered one of his
men to bring the horse out into the
SCHOOL," great oblong space. COW
cred with sawdust and inclosed and
rooted. The horse was fine, spirited
animal, with an Intelligent and kindly
eye and the master said at once that
he would be tractable and teachable
subject, explaining that he had not
yet had chance to make his &C.
Quaintance."
"Now," said he, "you must remem-
Der that this horse has never seen me
before and that l am, therefore. q peg
feet stranger to him, and yet I think l
can establish between him and myself
so good feeling that in five minutes
time he will follow me all about the
school at word Of command-perhaps
without command. Let US see."
He then approached the horse. and
the man stepped away. Speaking 2
few words gently, be patted tho AMI
mails neck and rubbed his hand over
his head. Telling the man to give him
small riding whip. long and straight,
with a keen lash. he placed himself
with his right shoulder close to the
horses head. holding the bride rein
near the bit with his right hand and In
his left hand the whip extended back
horizontalIy so that the lash was oppo'
site to the horse's flank.
"Now," said he, "for our lesson.'
And he began leading the horse around
the school, keeping his shoulder close
to the animals head. Presently he
took his hand off the bride, and the
horse at once began to move away
from his shoulder, but a sharp turn OF
the masters wrist brought the lash OF
the whip against his flank just hard
enough to make little sting, and at
the same time the master caught hold
of the bride and gently pulled the re-
fractory head close to his shoulder
again.
This was repeated half a dozen
times, and then tho horse evidently
reasoned out the situation somewhat
in this way:
Gas long rs keep my head close to
this mans shoulder it's all right, but
the minute | take 1t away something
back there jumps up and sticks me.
Therefore I'll not take 1t away any
more"
That must have been the way he
reasoned, for within the Ave minutes
time allotted by the riding master the
horse was following him all around the
school like big dog. nor did the mas
ter have to touch the bride once

Mr.. Clement may not win the
governorship, but the fright he will
give the regular organization by his
vigorous campaign will be good med
icine for the Republican party in YER

dent of the Springfield Republican.
1t is to be hoped that it will teach

this state is not purchasable COM

his followers would be considered
the stuff from which reformers are
made, but they may compel re-
form. At any rate, the sudden rise
Of Percival w. Clement is the most
interesting development in Vermont

Felix w. McGettrick of St.
Adams will head the Democratic
state ticket this fall, he being nomi-
mated Thursday at Burlington by a
vote of a54 to 90 for P. w. Clement
Of Rutland.
The platform affirms that the re-
solution of the republican state con-
vention favoring referendum of the
liquor question is simply pretense.
1t pledges the party to support fair
license local option law and if pass
ed by the Legislature opposes any
referendum of such a law to the
voters Of the state. 1t denounces the
the extravaganza of the Republican
party. 1t is opposed to the work of
the cattle commissioners and to the
present method of taxing railroad
property.

The Democratic state convention
stood by its colors and nominated a
straight party ticket. There was
talk of fusion and some excitement,
but the course taken is doubtless
better for the party's interest, and
consistent. Clement, though he will
get some Democratic votes perhaps
next September, could not consis-
tently be endorsed with an official
acquiescence in the whole Republi-
can ticket and platform. So the
Democrats will fight for reform in
their own way and under their own
leaders.
