PARKER DOCKS HIS HORSES.

A half-tone picture of Judge Parker sitting astride of a htorse adorns the art supplement of Sundays Buffalo Courier. The Judge looks well on horseback, and the animal bears it's distinguished burden with ease and dignity. But the effect of the picture. while pleasing in a general way is marred by a revolting disclosure. The horse is docl<ed. In place of the flow ing tail provided by nature is a mis- erable apology for a tail in the form Of n sbort-haired stump. It is not to the credit of Judge Parker that he ia . Vors this abominable mutilation. Presi- dent Roosevelt recently issued a right eous pronouncement against docking horses. The operation is horribly cruel and the result is both a deformity and n robbery of the horse of his defense against flies. Mans inhumanity 70 beast makes countless thousands mourn and 1t is to be regretted that a candi- date for president of the United States should be numbered nmong the up- holders of an inexcusable form of tor ture.-ROchester Democrat and Chron- icle.

Oh, ye who hold the written clue To all save all unwritten things, And half "a league behind pursue The accomplished fact with flouts
 filings, Look to your knee your baby brings. The oldest tale since earth began. The answer to your worryings- Once on time there was man. He single handed met and threw Magicians, armies, ogres, kings; He. lonely mid his doubting crew. In all the loneliness of wings; He fed the flame. he filled the springs. He locked the ranks, he launched the
 van
 Straight at the grinning teeth of
 things. Once on time there was a man. The peace of shocked foundations flew Before his ribald questionings, He broke the oracles in two And barred the paltry wires and
 things,
 He headed desert wanderings; He led his soul, his cause his clan, A little from the ruck of things. Once on time there was a man. Thrones, powers. dominions block the
 view
 With episodes and underlings: The meek historian deems them true Nor needs the song that Clio sings. The simple central truth that stings The mob to boo, the priest to ban. Things never yet created things. Once on a time there was a man. A bolt is fallen from the blue, A wakened realm full circle swings Where Dothan's dreamer dreams anew Of vast and forborne harvestings; And unto him an empire clings That grips the purpose of his plan. My lords, what think ye of these
 things? Once--in our time-is there a man?

A prominent physician in France paints a gloomy picture of the preva- lence of certain forms of disease in that country. He writes that alchohol- ism is making deplorable raNages, while tuberculosis carries off more than 10000 victims every year. and saps the strength of 5OO.O00 in addition. He de- clares also that, whereas in other civil ized lands smallpox is not prevalent, in France there are still many cases, while typhoid fever, dysentery and oth- CT maladies are distressingly frequent. Traditions have been widely accepted that the excellence of Gallic cookery lessened the multitudes of the sick in our sister republic in comparison with those of other nations.

Freeborn, Minn., October F (Spe- ial)-Mr. R. E. Coward, a we'll known man here, is rejoicing in the relief from suffering he has obtained through using Dodd's Kidney Pills. His ex- perience is we'll worth repeating as it should point the road to health to many another in similar condition.

Ancient Mirrors.

Wilkinson shows that we are in. debted for our mirrors to the ancient Egyptians. At first they were made of metal, so well compounded and pol ished that some recently dug up from Thebes have regained wonderful luster after burial for thousands of years. Oval in shape, they were fast ened to carved wooden handles. Ref erences are made to such looking glasses in Exodus and Job. The Greeks and Romans made similar mirrors of silver.
 Pliny says that the earliest glass mirrors were made of black volcanic glass. Through the middle ages glass backed with thin metallic sheets came into use, and "bullseyes," or glass globes into which while hot me. tallic mixture was blown for backing.
 At Murano, near Venice, in the thir- teenth century the republic protected the trade and jealousy guarded Its secrets, securing a lucrative business for century and half. Mirrors were then made from cylinders of glass flat. tened on stone, carefully polished, bev- eled at the edges and silvered with an amalgam.

 Your objection reminds me of the objection lawyer once made to a judges sentence. This judge had giv' en prisoner, convicted of second de- gree murder, thirty years solitary con- finement, whereupon the lawyer cried out:
 But, your honor, my client is old. He won't live thirty years

King Brian Boru of Ireland.

King Brian Boru was the subject of an extremely Interesting paper read by MT. NJ. c. Seton before the Irish Literary Society at 20 Hanover Square recently, says the St. James Gazette, MT. Seton related many details of King Brlan's career which are not gener- ally known. According to the Annals cated-he was born in 925, and was the son of Kennedy, king of North Munster, who died in 950. King Brian conquered all the princes of Ireland, and then converted the country into land of peace, this period being known as '"The Golden Age"
 Brian built churches and schools and provided money to buy books. For 12 years lie feigDed supreme kingL's Ire land, and all went well until the beau tiful but bad Gormfiaith appeared upon the scene. This lady was the sister of Mael Mordha, king of Leinster, and first married Malache, king of the North of Ireland, from whom she was divorced, marrying secondly Olaf, the Danish king of Dublin, after whose death she married Brian Boru, with whom she soon quarreled. Being, ap. parently, rather more than usually treacherous and vindictive, she sent her Danish son Cedric to invite the Danes to conquer Ireland and, at the same time, in her airy way, author ized him to promise her hand in mar riage to several Morse chiefs who came over to Ireland for that bribe. Then was fought the famous battle of Clon- tarf in 1014, after which Malache be- came sole king of Ireland. Poor King Brian was killed after the battle, in his tent, and his body was brought to Armagh.

WORK IN BEING A DOCTOR.
An Unpleasantry Recited by Conan
 Doyle to an American,

Doyle to an American.
 An American woman asked Conan Doyle one day why he had given up the practice of medicine.
 Because the work was too hard" Doyle answered.
 "Oh it can't be hard to be doctor" said the woman.
 'It is both hard and unpleasant. And to prove it," said the novelist, "I'll tell you about my first case.
 My first case came to me in the middle of the night. It was January, and cold rain was falling. The jan gle of the door bell awoke me from a sound sleep, and, shivering and yawning, l put my head out of the window and said, Who's there|
 Doctor, said voice, can you come to Peter Smiths house at once|
 Whats the trouble?' asked.
 "'Smth's youngest girl has took q dose of laudanum in mistake for pare gorlc, and we're afraid she'll die.'
 "'All right; I'll come,' said I.
 q dressed, and I tramped three miles through the cold and the rain to Smiths. Twice, on the way, fell on the icy pavement, and once my hat blew off. and in the darkness 1 was nearly half an hour finding it.
 "Finaly. though, reached Smiths. But the houso was dark-shutters all closed-not light. l rang the bell. No answer. But at last a head stuck itself gingerly out of third-story win dow.
 Be you Dr. DoyleY it said.
 Yes said l. Let me in
 "'Oh, no need to come in, doctor.' said the head. The childs all right now. Sleeping very quiet
 "'But how much laudanum did you give it? said I.
 "'Only two drops, doctor. Not enough to hurt cat. I guess I'd bet ter take my head in now. The night air is cold. Good night. Sorry to have troubled you.'
 Il buttonod up my coat and turned homeward, trying as best l could to stille my modification and anger. But suddenly the window was raised again, and the same voice cried:
 "'Doctor! l say, doctor!
 "I hurried back. 1 thought the child had suddenly taken a turn for the worse. Well, what do you wantY said.

COLLECTION OF GOURDR
The Many Uses to Which They Were
 Put in Pioneer Days.

Inc NlhHy uses tO WHICH luey WeTo
 Put in Pioneer Days.
 Miss Susie Gentry, of Franklin, has made study of the gourd family, the uses of gourds and the conditions of all the different varieties grown in Tennessee and she has collected some fine specimens from foreign countries, says the Nashville American.
 In the earlier stages of Tennessee civilization, when cooperage vessels and glassware might have been classed as luxuries, nature supplied the most essential from the gourd family. The great-grandmothers of the present gen eration were familiar with the pungah gourd and they used it for many pur- poses. It was the receptacle for keep ing such things as lard, molasses, su- gar, coffee, fruit, eggs, preserves, salt, and soap. It served the purposes of the modern cans, boxes, jugs, bottles, buckets, etc.
 Legislators valued 1t so much that they exempted it by law from sale by execution for debt The pungah gourd has no handle and the largest size s to 12 inches in height and from II to IS inches in diameter A large one will hold 100 dozen eggs and one lady of the early times says she packed her silk wedding dress in one of them. The next size has handle and was used as water gourd in the field for carrying salt to stock, etc.
 Then came the gourds with long handles, some about three feet in length, for dipping water from deep springs, and others approximating in size and shape the britannia or cocoa nut dipper. Then follow the skins, smaller in size, the darnlng gourds, the dancing gourds, which were the spinning tops of our fore fathers and the baby rattlers, the smallest in size. There is the quill gourd, in which the women weavers kept their quills by the loom, and gourds in the shape of squashes that were used to make kitchen utensils, and sometimes jewelry boxes. There are funnel gourds, and the gourds that were hung on poles in the poultry yard to make homes for the martins. There is the tobacco gourd for storing to- bacco seeds and for tobacco boxes.
 There are swimmers gourds, sub stitute for modern life preservcrs; the Hercules club which looks like base ball bat. and snake gourds, which under the artistic hand of Miss Gentry have been made to look so much like snakes that you can almost hear their hiss.
 There are gourds in the shape of goose, turkey, duck, guinea and chick en eggs that are colored so naturally that when one is placed in the nest as nest egg the fowl that made the nest would swear to the maternity and gourd. Then there is the orange gourd, just like an orange, and the Turks cap, that makes beautiful pin-cushion There is the vegetable lace" or "dshrag gourd," the inside of which could be used to ornament ladies' hat or to wash dishes, etc.
