GAIT OF A DRAFT HORSE.

The ability to trot well is not gen.
orally considered valuable attribute
for draft horse. as it is claimed that
TO walk well is a much more useful
achievement. Good trotting action.
however is not only valuable in itself.
but it also brings with it many other
qualities stch as activity. style. bal.
ance of conformation and other fea.
lures that are desirable IN any class
of horses.
The draft horse in trotting should
go level. straight and regular. for any
deviations from these qualities are
usually evidences of unsoundness or
the absence of a balanced conforma.
ton. The legs. both fore and hind.
should fiex freely ut the hooks and
knees. for rigidness of movement OF
these is indicative of defects Of some
kind. A stited hook action is much
too common in draft horses and is
very often due to the fact that the
hook is not properly set, as may be
observed in all hind legs that are too
straight. Such are usually lacking in
reach and power.-J. \. Price. in Amer

making stern protests against being
called "segs." They say they do not
object to being called goods" or the
Midway girls" or "Dr. Harper $
young women" or any of the other
terms which are often used to describe
them But the word seq is beyond
the limit. and the University girls have
started crusade against the objec-
tionable term. which they hope will
result in its consignment to oblivion.
The young women have begun the
crusade by appealing to the press
Some of the leaders among the girl
students got up a petition to the edit
ors OF the daily papers and circulated
Ii among their sisters. This petition
condemns the use OF the word. and
asks the editors to avoid its use in the
articles relating to the university. The
main points OF objection. rs given. are
that the word is ugly. that only part
OF the goods are segregated. and that
the men are "segs" as well as the
women. They say they much prefer
the less Objectionable term coed.

Banks Competc For Dcposits.

There are some fashioned banks
In New York which refuse to notice
the depositor whose balance is small.
but intense rivalry is inducing others
to advertise for deposits of any amount.
In some institutions when n balance
falls below S400 the depostor is po'
itely Tor otherwise informed that he
must get back To- the $iOO mark or get
out. The number of banks increases,
one would think. out of all proportion

stitutions, yet most of them when
adroitly managed, are money makers.
The rivalry between them has opened a
new field of endeavor for active men.

How Hemp is Grown.

Hemp of the Philippine Islands, or
rather the plant from which IL Ia manu-
factured, Is known I'm scientific circles
as "musa textilus" and by the natives
as abaca. 1t belongs to the plantain
family. closely resembling the banana
plant The latter has leaf similar
In shape to that Of the abaca. but Of
slightly darker green. The differ
ence I'm appearance must be told by the
expert; the inexperienced can tell the
difference only by tasting the fruit.
The abaca tastes like a green persim-
mon. Many of the natives are en-
gagged In its growth and sale. II flour.

ready for scraping. The stalk springs

gins its aspiration to go to seed. 1t IL
not permitted To do so, however. as
the seeding process reduces the quality
Of the fiber.
The abaca grows to the height OF
eight feet. but is not a tree In any
sense except that ii gives shade. Its
leaves run from It's roots. enfOlding

THE "SCRAGGY" NECK.

The thin. long-drawn-cIt neck Is IN
deed trial. A smooth, round, white
neck is really a very essential element
in beauty's makeup. To some girls a
thin neck is really not source of mis-
try. but TO the average girl, who wears
evening gowns and low collars. it is n
very important thing.
By perseverance and proper treat.
ment the scraggy neck can be over
come. and this treatment is massage.
In the absence of professional opera
tor one can carry out the simple move
ments with excellent results. Place the
hands under the chin and press firmly
but gently into the tissues. making an
upward rotary movement as far rs the
back OF the ears. Repeat this treat
ment for fifteen or twenty minutes
every night before retiring. The hands
may be softened with some pure emol-
lent during the manipulation.
The effect upon the muscles is to
develop them by increasing the blood
supply They become firm. full and
elastic. and they remain so.
OF course. one should not-as most
women are prone-expect wonders
wrought in n night or even week.
The desired results require time as
we'll as perseverance. - American

WISE WORDS

Language is a solemn thing: it grows
out Of lifc-out Of its agOnies and
o'stacirs. its wants and it's WEAKNESS.
Every language is n temple in which
the soul Of those WHO speak it is en-.
shrined
The habit OF blaming others when
things 20 wrong is an insdious and
dangerous one. Far more is it the pur.
pose to inquire within whether the
fault, or much of it, may not lie at
home.
Great. ever fruitful, profitable for re.
proof. for encouragement. for building
up in manful purposes and works, are
the words of those that in their day
were men.
Let your religion make you more
consderatc. more loving and attract.
i've more able to think Of and enter
into the pleasure and interest Of others.
misunderstanding goes on like n
fallen stitch in n stocking, which in the
beginning might have been taken up
by a needle.
There is any quantity of gold in the
land. but we enjoy il most when the
other fellow digs for it.
Eternal life is the only thing worth
living for in which there is no compc-
tition
Nothing is so pleasing or so horrid
rs the music of your own harp.
A coward never forgives, it is not in
his nature.
