A small boy was sent to carry lunch
to his older brother, working in one
of the mills, which included bucket
of soup. with some meat balls in the
liquid. The balls were tempting in ap-
pearance. and their aroma savory, Civ
ing the kid temptation to which he
yielded. and he ate one-'just one,"
as the small boy will sometimes do.
Then in a little time he ate another:
and again another until when the
lunch reached the brother, the meat
balls were not. and the buckets held
nothing but soup.
Where are the meat balls?" asked
the brother
"Oh! | dropped the bucket" was
the reply, "and everything spilled out.

The Arab is virtually a pony, stand
ing 14.2 hands. oftener under than
over. He is not fast, even at the gal
lop; indeed. he is slow. He is very
poor trotter, both as regards speed
and action; a bad hack, and cannot
walk without continually sticking his
toe In the ground. He is totally un-
fitted for harness and is uncomfort-
able to ride except at the gallop; this
is his natural gait, and in it his move
