The horse does know a few things,
though some of us seem to question
this fact at times.
He knows when one speaks to him
kindly; and although some so-called
human beings may not always appre-
ciate the kindly tone, the horse always
does.
The horse that trusts his master will
do anything he can for him. And that
is not the promise of a politician, eth.
err. The horse will do it, OF die. About
as fine a tribute as 1 ever heard paid
a horse was the statement Of his own.
er that he was sure the animal would
leap straight out Of the back door of
a basement barn ten feet down if told
to do so. True, faithful animal! And
yet some mel abuse him!
The horse knows the way home, no
matter how dark it may be, nor how
far he may have travelled from home.
His driver may trust him to make all
the turns and reach his OWL stable
safely.

A recent writer on Arabia gives quite
a list of adventurous travellers who
have visited the holy city of Mecca,
which is not open to any but true be-
levers in Mohammed. He says: I'VE
can name Italians, Varthema and FL
natl; Germans, Wild, Seetzen and Van
Nathan; Englishmen, Pitts, Burton,
Keane; a Swiss, Burckhardt; a Span
lard, Badja; a Swede, Wallin; a Dutch
man, Hurgronje; a Frenchman, Cour-
tellemOnt. Niebuhr heard of a French
surgeon and two Englishmen; Burton
quoted an unnamed pilgrim; Doughty
heard of more than one Frank, and
himself met an Italian, calling himself
Ferrari, who was on his way to Mecca
with the Persian haji; Pitts found an
1rishman in the town; Nathan says
that Leon Roches, French consul in
Tunis, had made the pilgrimage, as had
also an English sailor. Varthema,
Wild, Pitts, Seetzen, Burckhardt, Wal
lin, Burton and Keane visited Medina
ALSO" The Dutch Arabist, Snouck
H~urgronje, spent five months in the
holy city as late as 1886.

ScOurg in Calves.

One of the troubles of the farmer or
dairyman who raises the calves born
on the farm is scours, and most calves
have a touch of it, no matter how we'll
they are cared for. The use of dried
blood in this trouble is very general
and is most effective when properly
used. There have been many cases
of complaint regarding it, but the trou-
BILE was due to improper feeding. Only
a small quantity is used, not over a
teaspoonful at a time, and it must al
ways be well mixed with the milk or
other food given the calf. 1t should
be fed daily until the animal RECEIVERS.
So highly is dried blood thought Of
in some dairy districts it is fed to cows
and cattle as a tonic given in the grain
or other mixed food as with the
calves. and in quantities Of about an
ounce to each feed. 1t is not a good
plan, however, to feed it as a part of
the regular ration for either cows or
calves, but rather to use it for tine
calves when they have scours and for
the cows when they seem to need a
tonic.

Costly Mile Of Road.

The new State and county road at
Mauricetown is causing trouble again.
For a long while the road settled in
the river as fast as it was filed in,
and the first estimated cost of $13, 600
was exceeded by more than SO, 900 be-
fore there was any evidence that the
settling had been overcome. For some
weeks there was no p%erceptible fall,
and the Board of Freeholders felt that
the troubles were at an end. This
week the road began to settle again,
300 feet of it having fallen more than
two feet and is continuing to fall. Up
to date the n mile of improved road
has cost the county a little more than
$4,000, and it is now estimated that
the job cannot be completed for less
than $4,000. This experiment will
end State and county road building
in Cumberland County for a long
time.

To Drive a Yirions Cow.

1t is often necessary to drive a single
cow or steer some distance, and it is
sometimes a difficult task, especially
where the animal is wild and unruly.
A good plan is to tie a small rope
around each fore foot, an one rather
loosely around the body at girt, pass
ing the ropes from feet through the
grit and taking the ends in hand be-
hind the animal. A light pull on either
rope will stop progress, and if the cow
goes too fast pull both ropes and she
will instantly kneel to your wishes.
A few minutes will teach her to drive
anywhere at your will and you are
safe from the most vicious one, as
you are behind her and can readily
keep yourself there. While going
along quietly the ropes are slack aed
do not impede travel in the least.

Tomato growers all over the country
complained of excessive blight last
summer, and as this is one Of the dis
eases to which tomatoes are subject,
it is we'll to be prepared for it by ad-
vance knowledge on the subject, hence
this article. The disease may be easily
recognized by the rusty patches on
the leaves, the under sides of the leaf
showing dark brown spots. There is
but Il remedy which has proven Of
value, and that is the Bordeaux mix
ture, using the ALSO combination; that
is, four pounds each of sulphate Of
copper and fresh lime to each fifty gall
Ions of water. The mixture should
be applied by spraying as soon as the
trouble is noticed, and regular appli-
cations made at the interval of two
weeks until the plant outgrows the dis
ease and becomes SO strong that it
will not be injured.

Shot Dead in a Quarrel.

James Meade, a bookkeeper TWEEN
ty-four years old, of Paterson, was
shot and killed in that place. The po-
lice have in custody four men and
three women who were present when
the shooting occurred. Robert II.
Plum, of Mount Vernon. n. Y, one of
the prisoners. admits there had been
a quarrel. The revolver belonged to
Frederick H. Dater, a wealthy coal
dealer, the employer and friend of
Meade. Plum says he saw it sticking
out of Dater's pocket, that he drew it
out and tossed it away to prevent it
being used. and Meade picked it up.
He then grappled with Meade and the
revolver went off.

King Edward,s Wardrobe,

The statement of a trade journal that
King Edward never wears the same
suit twice is obviously an exaggeration.
AS His Majesty frequently wears
three different suits in one day, that
would make 1000 suits a year, which,
at f1O a suit, wsuld be 10000 a year..
The fact is, the King wears his ordi-
binary suits as long as any gentleman
of means. He likes comfortable
clothes, and when in the country wears
a shooting suit that looks quite three
years old.
His Majesty has an enormous num-
Der of uniforms-some 500 in all-but
he doesn't wear any of them, except on
state occasions. The King, it is said,
doesn't like to wear uniforms. He
feels uncomfortable in them. - Man.

Our duty is to dc what God would have
us do, and to do it cheerfully because It
should be done. God loves a cheerful doer
as well as a cheerful giver. A child in the
home, a man or a woman in his OF her
place, gives added value to a right word or
deed by being hearty and loving in Its
speech or performance. We must say and
do lovingly what we should. whether we
feel like it or not. Dinah Muloch Craik
shows a world of wisdom when she says:
''The secret of life is not to dc what one
likes. but to try to like what one has to
do: and one does come to like it IN time"
Is that our method of service?

Made Sure of Suicide.

When John West, a prominent Mer-

the morning, his wife was missing.
He notified his neighbors, a search
was organized, and the woman's body
was found lying face down in a pool of
water a half-mile from her home.
Around her neck were tied pieces of
iron farming implements, and the con-
clusion is that it was a case of DELHI
crate suicide. The woman was thirty
eight years old, and she leaves a boy
and girl, aged sixteen and fifteen years
respectively. No reason for the suicide
can be given.

The Master Builders Association of
Montclair, who declared a lockout re-
Gently, decided to declare open shop,
taking on all union men who will re-
turn and filling the other places with
non-union men. The lockout was
caused by the laborers' union refusing
to submit their grievances to arbitra-
ton. The men had been receiving
$3.50 a day, and the bosses decided to
cut them down to the same rate as
was paid to Orange and Newark men,
which was $2.40. The lockout so far
has caused a loss to the building
trades of $4,000. The attempt to fill
places with nOn-union men is expected
to u trouble.

There was a very learned man
Who had a foolish wish;
He set a mouse-trap on a bank
In hopes of catching fish.
He then went home and all day long
He sat around the house;
With rod and reel and ~wriggling worm.
He tried to catch a mouse.
The moral of his enterprise
The whole of life will match;
You always should adapt your bait
To what you want to catch.
