New York Girls Have Organization to

A Chicago girl is said to be respons-
IDLE for the organization of several
mutual massage clubs in New York
city The fad is having quite vogue
there The girl in question makes the
solemn declaration that her idea is
not business enterprise, but isspure-
ly for the purpose of aiding wrinkled
sisters to have the seams smoothed
out of their own faces and to perform
the same Office for their friends. The
energetic Chicagoan is only %, but is
precocious beyond her years. She has
studied the art of revivifying mort

Russian TaIked Too MUCH.

Russian nobieman arrived in New
York under an assumed name. He
was not allowed to land. On the way
over he became somewhat hilarious
in the smoking room. one evening.
While in this happy frame of mind
his discretion broke away from it's
mornings and he confidentially in
formed a couple of fellow passengers
that he was coming to this country
to study American Notifications and
pick up what information She could
regarding military affairs. He also
told them his real name. All Of
which decided the authorities that he
was not desirable visitor, so he re-
turned by the same vessel without
having set foot on American soil.

Spending the Gould Millions.

Howard Gould has a large fortune,
and doubtless it is well invested, but
there is reason to believe it is not
growing very fast, for his expendi-
lures are enormous. Persons living
near his country place, Sands Point,
speak in awful tones of the money
that is being expended there. The
sea wall, they swear, cost him ST.
100000. His cowhouse, built Of stone,
cost $250,000, and his chickenhouse,
also of stone, $50. 900. The iron fence
around the poultry yard cost $40 a
running foot The Killarney castle
duplicate is to represent an outlay
of at least $4,000, 900.

Human Beings with Tails.

A German traveller claims to have
discovered in the forests of Borneo a
people who still wear the tail of our
primitive ancestors. He does not
write from hearsay; he has seen the
tail, says the London Chronicle. 1t
belonged to q child about six years
old, sprung from the tribe of Poenans.
As nobody could speak the Poenan
tongue the youngster could not be
questioned, but there was his tail sure
enough, not very long, but flexible,
hairless, and about the thickness of
ones little finger. The Poenans are
reported to be very simple, honest
folk, with a child-like system of bar
ter. They deposit in public places the
goods they wish to exchange, and a
few days later they find there the
equivalents they desire Nobody
dreams of stealing This is almost as
remarkable as the vestige of the an
cestral tail.

Fall Pasture for Horses.

Farmers and other breeders Of
horses should look we'll to the quality
OF the pasture on which their animals
are confined at this time of year. If
there are weeds in a field they will be
at about their largest just now, and
they preserve an appearance of green
cry which may be very deceptive in
deed. In fact the pasture may look
fairly green and yet contain no grass
at all.
a recent personal experience proved
the truth of this assertion. A large
field at a distance looked to be in fair
shape, whereas on close inspection it
turned out that there us absolutely
no grass at all in IT, There We're,
however, thousands. millions of grass
hoppers which sec:.,l numerous
enough to devour any stray atom of
nutritious heritage that might make
its appearance.
1t is needless to add that the mares,
foalS and other horses in such field
lose condition very fast, when there
are many flies to fight and so much
Indictment weather 10 withstand. and
this is the season of all seasons of the
year when the breeder can not afford
to let his animals fall off in flesh.
The owner of this field and these
horses had from day to day taken a
casual glance at his lands, and OBJ
serving the deceptive verdancy thought
that there was grass enough. On go
ing over the ground with the writer
he has FASTENED to make other ar
engagements. We all know that this
is a very busy time on the corn-belt
farm. There is the corn crop to care
for the manure to haul, and thou
sand and one other things 10 attend to,
but for all that it can not and it does
not pay to let the brood mares and
young horese get thin, and that they
will do rapidly if they are penned in a
field wherein there is insufficient grass
or no grass ut all.
Corn cut and drawn to the field
makes a good supplemental food on
ly; it should not be depended on en-
tirely. The horses should have grass
as well as the corn so long as there
is any for them to eat. Hence 1t Is
always good plan to save bit of
wood grazing for this sort of stock at
this time of year, and none is better
for such n purpose than piece OF the
meadow aftermath.
With fresh grazing of that kind and
a liberal ration of green corn condl-
ton may not only be maintained easily
but increased. And this must be man.
aged somehow. Thin horses in tan
mean skin poor horses in spring, ana
there is small profit in Keeping any
animal in that condition.-BreederS
