KAISER WILHELM'S MUFF.

Many people have asked the question
as TO the meaning and necessity Of the
kaiser's mufl which appears in the pic
lures of the emperor in hunting
scenes.
A Herlin newspaper is authority for
the statement that the muf is neither
an atYectation nor intended to conceal
crippled hand, but is called the
"Jagd," and is a very essential part OF
a German hunters equipment, says
the New York journal.
Hunting parties break up at about
one or two in the morning in the late
autumn and wait at certain points Of
the forests until the game, usually
deer, pass on their way to the drinking
grounds.
As the German autumn nights are

CREATION OF A NEW HEN.
What the Chicken Fnncier Has to
DO to Obtain the Hcws Uesulta
In His Line.

The successful fancicr breeds for
beauty and utility combined. If he
desires to create new strain, he
must be an imaginative soul, says
Leslic's Monthly. He must erect in
his minds eye an ideal fowl, and
then perscvcre in his endcayor to
produce one like IT, He iots down
description of his visionary bird
from bcak to toenail. If he prefers
to go by the standard, he will find
that very exacting; every detail is
looked to scrupulOusIy; length and
color of comb, arch of neck, length
and style Of tail, depth of breast,
length and color of legs, design and
color of plumage, etc. Having de
cidcd upon an ideal, he mates his
birds and starts his strain, picking
from each brood the most perfect
specimens and gradually working to-
ward this ideal through generation
after generation. 1t is a sort of
partnership arrangement with Prov
idencc; the fancicr attends to the
mating, and sees that they are
properly cared for, while Providence
does the rest.

Horses Like Perfume.

However little credit a horse NAV
commonly receive for possessing deli
cacy of scent, there are some per
fumes grateful to him. Horse train
ers are aware of the fact, and make
use of their knowledge in training
stubborn and apparently intractable
animals. Many trainers have favor
lite perfumes, the composition of
which they keep a secret, and it is
the possession of this means of ap-
pealing to the horses aestheticism
that enable so many of them to &C.
complish such wonderful results.
