BRAND HOOPS OF HORSES.
New York Corporations Keep Tab on
Their Property.

1t may surprise some New Workers
to learn that many of the horses they
pass daily in the streets are branded
to identify them in case of theft
The branding is just as effective, but
not as hard on the horse, as the meth,
Cd of branding cattle and horses in
the West or the cutting of brands in
the ears of cattle as practiced in the
salt marshes Of New Jersey. 1t con-
sistS simply of burning numbers in
the animals hoofs, usually in their
front feet. The hot iron does not
penetrate deep enough to hurt the
animal, but it leaves a figure clear
enough to last for years. The prac-
tice is commOnest among large cor
pOrations that own many horses

To Dry the Umbrella,

To preserve an umbrella so that it
vii last long enough and not look
shabby it should be carefully dried
each time it is carried in the rain.
To do this it should never be stood on
the point, thus permitting the water
to trickle down, spelling the silk and
making the wires rusty, says the Gen
tlewoman. Neither should an um.
brella be opened to dry, for in this
way the silk is stretched, and later it
becomes baggy, and it is impossible
to furl it smoothly. The correct way
to dry an umbrella is to shake it
we'll to get as much water out as pos.
sible and then stand it On its handle
to drain.

WEDDING HAD TO 5TOP.
Ceremony Halted While Sally Jag.
ged" the Chickens.

Bishop Gambler Of Georgia, recently
told one of the national lawmakers
from that state an experience he had
when he first began to preach the Cos
pei and tie nuptal knots, says the
Washington Times.
"One day | was called on and en-,
gagged to marry couple in one Of the
out'Of-the-Way districts. | found the
house a rudely constructed log affair.
with but one room and a loft above,
which was entered by a ladder and a
trap door. A big table was in the
center of the room, and it was loaded
with good things to eat, everything
having been cooked on an open fire.
place which took up nearly all one
SIDE Of the room. The bride and
groom lined up and I was proceeding
with the ceremony, and while in the
most impressive part of it, the old
lady poked her head out of the trap
door in the loft and called:
Sally, turn them chickens and
jag 'em with a fork
THE command was obeyed by the
daughter, she leaving the trembling
bridegroom while she Jagged EN-
with a fork. I could not help laughing
at the righteousness of the whole af.
fair, and l have never witnessed a
marriage ceremony since without re-
memberirg this experience"

Strength of Elephants.

The elephant is great as a traction
power. Experiments have shown that
a horse pulls about one-sixth of its
own weight, whereas an elephant can
pull its entire weight. This might be
emphasized by the fact that an ele.
plant is six times as big as a horse
In India. for centuries, it has been the
custom to utilize elephants to push in
stead of pull wagons, but now it has
been shown that they are unequaled
as pullers. Two of them, lin carefully
arranged contests, raised $500 pounds

Burden of War Debt.

The debts of nations given in the
World Almanac exceed $3O000,00O
These DO not nearly represent the
cost of a century's wars, but only that
portion of the cost which remains un.
paid and a charge upon the people
Only in a few cases, like Canada and
New Zealand, does public debt repre-.
sent other than war expenditure, and
these sums are more than balanced by
leftover debts from the eighteenth
century
The earth has LAST, 100000 inhabi.
tants, or 2975S0000 families. Its per.
manent load of war debts is $1,000 for

Lead Pencil WRITING,

Upon the subject Of signing a docu.
ment a standard law book says:
"When a statute or usage requires "a
writing it must be on paper or parch-
ment, but it is not essential that it be
in ink. It may be in pencil. This rule
applies to promissory notes, book &C.
counts, a will or a signature thereto. "
There is decision in Colorado ur.
holding the idea that a pencil sigma.
ture is valid.

comes pale and sallow, there may be
frequent attacks of bilious or sick head
ache, bitter taste in the mouth, tongue
coated white or covered with a brown
fur, unnatural, dry, harsh, or scaly
condition OF the skin, or branny erup-
tons and pimples. There is likely to
be backache," with tired feelings,
lassitude and a sense of debility. There
is depression of spirits with decided
tendency to be discouraged and de-
spondent. There is loss or irregularity
of appetite, uneasiness in region O. the
stomach, oppression, sometimes sour
stomach, "heart- burn" nausea and
water-brash," flatulency, and acrid
quotations; the bowels become irregu-
lar, usually constipated, and occasion
ally subject to diarrhea, attended with
colicky pains. The foregoing symp-
toms are not all present in any one
