THE YANKEE HoRsE

New England put it's stamp upon horses, even more than upon men, and it is probably the best place in the world to raise them. The one thing that it cannot be expected to produce in the equine line is size. Large horses will, Of course. be grown nov and again in New England, but 1t Is doubt ful If any family or breed of large horses could ever be established there. The tendency of the climate, unless counteracted by such warm stabling and blanketing as would impair stam- ina, is to produce small, compact ani- mal Horses yield with astonishing quiekness to the influence of climate, soil and treatment The foals of plains horses, when taken East and stabled, grown up much taller than their, sires or dams, A horse foaied in Australia the sire and dam having been imported from England, can be distinguished at a glance to one foaled in England. Moreover, it is easy to reduce the size of horses, because they were originally no bigger than dogs. and 1t Is only by long continued efforts that their size has been increased. Tn the seventeenth century a pony fourteen hands high was considered rather tall horse. In f166S the Legislature of Massachusetts passed an act providing that entire horses fourteen hands should not be permitted to run at large in pastures or common lands. It is reckoned that the average size of the English thoroughbred has increased a whole hand -four inchesl in the last century,

PLANT OF A POET LAUREATE.
 Alfred Austin, poet laureate of Great Britain, discusses in the November Critic The Growing Distaste for the Higher Forms of Poetry, ? and gives his opinion as to the cause Of the on the part of the reading pub- lie.
 Mir. Austin thinks that for descrip- tive, lyrical and reflective poetry, pro- vided 1t is of sufficient brevity, there is, perhaps, as much taste and liking as ever. But, from narrative and drama tic poems, unless they are of the most modest dimensions, most readers now adays turn with, invincib1e repugnance.

Austin, 'seized with eager hands on a new poem, read 1t with fervid tender mess, re turned to it again and again, learned much of 1t by heart, and gave It a permanent place in their thoughts and directions Their descendants look on long work in verse with cold ness, and for the most part refuse to become familiar with 1t.

THE TOMBSTONE MINES
 MAKING LARGE OUTPUT

The manner in which the Tomb stone Consolidated has battled with adverse conditions with the winning object in sight is admirable. Over one million and half has been spent opening up the big mines in Tomb. stone, and the reward is now in sight.
 From this system, the shipments at the present time average over four cars per month, and the ore is strictly high grade. The Biz Shaft, the West Side, the Tranquility, the Silver Thread and the Emerald are substan- tial producers, and the water stua- tion is under control. The company Is vindicating the splendid confidence imposed in them by the public, all of which is of profound importance to the business man and property owner of Tom bstone.
 A good proposition just brought to light is in drift on the 400 in the big shaft, were five car loads, nearly every piece of which showed free gold lib- erally, brought the company hand. some returns. This particular body of ore was found not ten feet from the old Flora Morrison shaft and which came very nearly being discovered years ago. -ProSpe ctOr.
