THE HORSES COLOR.

A good horse cannot be bad color. IT
is said. 1t is certain mat Derby winners
are not drawn from certain colors. Has
a gray ever won the race, or dun or a
skewbld or a plebald? Has there ever
been a thoroughbred of the latter type?
Quite black thoroughbreds are rare. white
still more SO, gray uncommon even
among the less exalted Of public perform
ers. The stud Book would not bear out
these statements where colors uncommon
on the race course are described. The ex-

pictured as a chestnut and complained to
the men of whom he had bought the
horse. The former owner assured him
that the description was correct at the
time ii was entered. Other owners, less
certain as to what color may appear
when the first coat has been cast. have
before now made such singular entries as
gray, roam or chestnut."-St James Ga

THE ATMOSPHERE.

Even IL II were possible for man to
live without preaching air he could not
exist ond the earth IL II were without
an atmosphere. Plants derive carbon,
the most important element of their
food from the air. and without plants
there could be no food for animals and
therefore no human beings Water
also comes from the atmosphere. but IL
there were no water there could be
neither plants nor animals. IL food and
water could be supplied I'm some other
way the world would still be unhabit-
able by plants and animals owing TO
the severity OF the cold. without an at
mosphere there would be no winds aud
consequently no waves or ocean cur
rents. The sea--if we may suppose one
to have been supplied by some un-
known cause-would be stagnant
pool. uninhabitable by seaweed or fish.

the greatest, probably, that ever came TO

a weak cowardly little aristocrat he could
have accorded his people a measure Of
liberty that would have made Russia a

But this opportunity he has deliberately
thrown away. His own army has de-
serted him. His very fortresses are in

ENTITLED TO PROTECTION.

The Chicago meat packers have announced
their willingness to take back the canned goods
condemned by the Massachusetts, board OF health.
This shows that the pillorying they recently
received has had a sautary effect. 1t also shows
the unfailing power OF publicity as corrective OF
evils and abuses.
But it is by no means reasonable to assume that
Massachusetts is the only state into which unwhole
some canned meats were sent by the packers.
Undoubtedly many OF the same sort OF impure
products have found their way into Rhode Island.
What is to be done with them? Are they to be
left on the market and sold to unwary purchasers
So far no investigation of the quality of canned
goods offered the public has been made either in
this city or state.
Is it because there is no law that permits such
an inspection or because those who should have
moved in such matter have failed to do so?
Clearly the people should have some safeguard
against unwhoesome and dangerous canned goods.
If present laws do not provide for an adequate
inspection law that will compel it should be en-
acted. If some public officer has failed to perform
his duty he should take hint from the praise
worthy performance of the Massachusetts board OF
health and bestir himself along the same lines.
