Heavier Farm Horses.

. K + T r 10 )
est, that many farmers throughout the
west are making the grave mistake Of
using horses altogether too light for
the work expected of them: Our farm
implements are continually growing
heavier year by year. This is not all.
We are doing lots of work by horse
power that used to be done by hand,
such as cutting corn, planting and dig
ging potatoes, spreading manure, etc.,
all requiring Al good heavy team. A
heavy horse will not only do this
heavy work easier but with less risk,
while IL a small horse does the work
of a heavy one, he has to bring all
his nerve to bear which is certainly
trying on the animal.
have found in cultivating large
fields that heavy teams will not only
keep up in better condition but ac-
tually require less grain feed than the
smaller class of horses that have to
work on their nerve day by day to do
the work, Again, when a farmer has
surplus of heavy horses they always
meet with ready sale where the small

School Of Mines.
The students in Mineralogy are in
Producing q new idea by which they
will be enabled to secure a fine col
lection of mineral specimens. Each
member of the class has provided him
self with a cabinet OF uniform size and
the department presents him with the
specimens of rock and mineral which
he has tested in the determinative
analysis.
The class in Chemistry Nv has fin
Nished their work in water analysis
and have now entered into the real
work in assaying gold and silver ore.
Friends of Mr.. John A. Mclean, 'O5,
will be pleased to learn that he is
now assayer and engineer for the
Bunker Hill Mining and Smelling
Company of Gold Bar, Washington.
This Is a very large concern, located
in the heart Of a new mining country
and only sixty niles east of Seattle.
1t certainly speaks very we'll for our
school in placing man in such a
responsible position.

instructing papers were read and dis.
cussed. Mr.. Mckay read paper on
the Hecfa, Lead and Silver mine,
where he was employed last summer;
Mr.. Hoskins discussed the Murray
Gold District, and Mr.. David Boise

meet at the eighth period twice a
week, and all students in the Mining
College are earnest]v. urged to attend,
as subjects will be studied and dis
cussed to which one cannot obtain ac-
cess outside Of the meeting. The sub
ject and speakers for the next meet
ing will be announced later.
The points of interest to be visited
on the field trip next summer have
not yet been decided upon, but they
will probably include the Montana
and Colorado mining belt, with the
probability of going still further into
Arizona. This trip is required of all
Sophomores and juniors in the Min
ing College,, and it is not too early
to begin to lay plans for it. Its bene-
fits are many and need not be COM
mented upon. 4s

VISITING OLD SOUTH.
No Other Building fin America the

scene Of More Thrilling events.
 An alert boy of 12 or 13 years, visit ing in Boston for the first time, was asked what historical building he would like to visit first, and he re- piled very promptly:
 'The Old South Westinghouse. like to see places in which there has been something doing in the past They did things in the Old South Meeting house, both before and during the Revolution, didn't they?"
 Indeed they did! No building ir America has been the scene of more thrilling events than has this ancient house of worship.
 Had this boy, who was eager to see the Old South Meeting house because of all that it stands for, been in Bos- ton on the 29th day of last April, he might have gone into the time-honored old building in company with hun dreds of other boys, and great many girls, who came from all parts of the city to be present at the "Children's Hour" in the "Old South' This is a semi-yearly event in Boston. It is a part of what is called the "Old South Work" which is a good work, having for its chief purpose the bringing of the young people of Boston and Amer ica into an intimate knowledge of early American history.
 On this 29th day of April the Old South Westinghouse was packed with boys and girls from the public schools, to hear about William Blackstone, the first settler in the city of Boston. A large orchestra of boys and girls from one of the public schools played pat riotic airs, and remember that at one "Children's Hour" in the Old South two hundred school girls sang the ode which was composed and sung when President George Washington visited Boston in 17S9. You see that they still do things" of patriotic nature in this old meeting ng-house-hallowed as it is, by memories of Washington and Adams and Otis and Hancock and all the good men and true who helped to give our country its most valued possession - independence.-St. Mich. olas.

MEXICO IS LEARNING.
The American Way of Living Is
 Taking a Deep Hold on People.

Taking n Deep Hold on People.
 Tine study of English is compulsory fin the Mexican public schools. Every yea: Mexico sends to the United States q number of school teachers to study American pedagogic methods, says Edward McConley in the Amerl- can Monthly Review of Reviews. A great many Mexican children are be- ing educated in the, schools and col leges of this country, where formerly they were sent to Europe. The num- Der of Mexican visitors to the United States and the number of American visitors to Mexico is increasing every year. It is said that Yucatecans know New York better than the City of Mex ico and that west-coast MeXicans are more at home in San Francisco than in their own capital city. Thus each year the American way of living is taking q deeper hold on the Mexican people.
 The Vice President of Mexico and announced successor of President Diaz is very much Americanized in his ideas. In fact, he might easily be mistaken for plain, shrewd American business man from his appearance, manner and methods. He has always been exceedingly friendly toward Americans. As Governor of the State of Sonora, he encouraged them to in-
 
 settle therein. He spared no effort in seeing that their lives, property and civil rights were protected. He is well informed about the United States and is a student of English He has three daughters in school at San Francisco and is educating all of his children in the United States.

Rooiss Written In Prison.

A publisher was talking about Oscar 'Wilde's strange book, De Profundis," with its pathetic decoration of bird beating its wings against the bars of a cell.
 "Wilde's is not the first good book to have been written in jail," he said. "Jail in fact, seems to be good place to write books in. Literary men sur pass themselves there.
 John Bunyan wrote 'Pilgrim's Prog ress' in jail.
 "Cervantes wrote Don Quixote' in prison.
 "Defoe laid the plans for Robinson Crusoe during a term of confinement imposed on him for the writing of a pamphlet called The Shortest Way with the Dissenters.'

Made a Clock from Slate.

A slate quarryman living at Delta, Pa., Humphrey O. Pritchard, has made a clock out of slate. The varieties he used include peach bottom blue slate and the red, green and purple slate of Vermont.
 About 164 separate pieces of this material were used in the construction and are held together by twenty-three dozen small metal screws. Many of the slate sheets are as thin as paper and scores were broken before the timepiece was finished after eight months work.
 The clock is feet high, ? feet wide and 1 foot deep. It has a cathedral gong and is lighted by nine incandes- cent bulbs.-Jewelers Circular Week. y.

Hand-pressed Oil of Lemon.

"This oil of lemon" said the spice merchant, lis an exquisite thing. It is hand -pressed-pressed by hand out of lemon rind. Smell it."
 The Odor of the clear oil suggested sunlt lemon groves miles in extent on a mountanside overlooking the blue sea
 "I'll tell you how the oil of lemon is extracted" he said. "A man sits with q sponge in one hand and q piece of fresh lemon peel in the other He presses the peel against the sponge, giving it finally q certain difficult and dexterous twist. anu this breaks the cells in the rind and the oil-there's only half drop of it-comes reluc- tantly out upon the sponge.
 "When the sponge has taken up the dribblings of about hundred rinds, it is wet enough to be squeezed out. An ounce or so of clear and fragrant oil them flows from it.
 "There is no way to extract this oil within lemon rind except by squeez- ing and twisting the rind by hand. It takes the rinds of about 1,200 lemons to make one pound. of oil."

HYeIENIc BEDROOM.
ToIatOyan Simplicity the Latest Fad
 in London Houses.

in London Houses.
 The hyglenic bedroom is the latest novelty in furnishing.
 Fresh-air enthusiasts see in the old fashioned luxurious bedroom serious menace to health, and they have come back to town to throw out car pets, curtains, cushions and any other little aids to comfort that catch their eye. Feather beds, they say, are hopelessly unhygienic, germs turk in the folds of the portere and in the warm rugs on the floor, while cosy bed hangings shorten life.
 But Tottenham Court road, the cen ter of the furnishing trades, keeps its finger on the pulse of fashion. The experts there anticipated this reaction against luxury, and the up-to-date hy- gienic bedroom of Tolstoyan serenity is now on view in the showrooms.
 The question of the open window had first to be settled. Smoke fog and smut as well as fresh air had free entry through the open windows, and so in the new style bedroom the windows are kept permanently open and fine gauge netting which keeps out impurities without arresting the inflow of air is inserted. The win dows themselves are curtained with the simple easement blind of line and guipure which can be lifted down and shaken every day.
 The walls are distempereG in pastel shades-pale green warranted free from arsenic, and soft power blue for preference-and the woodwork is painted pure white.
 Of course carpets and rugs have dis appeared from the floors. Japanese mating, made of plaited rushes and dyed in beautiful colors, is the alter native to bare polished boards.
 Even the bed has suffered change. The luxury of the feather bed, the yielding pillow and the soft eiderdown quilt has most degenerating effect, say the medical advisers of the sim ple-life devotees who now sleep under an army blanket on hard hair mat tress. The Toystoyan bedstand, of wood and aths, which folds up when not in use, is rather, a favorite with the more advanced, but the majority condescend to sleep on a fumed bed stead of severely simple design.
 The draped dressing table is not tol- erated; plain rush chairs; with rush backs, are preferred, the nearest ap- proach to luxury being a Madeira chair bereft of its cushions.-Kansas City Journal.

Not such m Easy Mattcr.

"These shoes will be all right" said the salesman, after you have got them broken in." The young man, who had been hestating between that pair and one size larger, took the salesman's word for it, and purchased the shoes. A week later he came back to the store with perceptible limp.
 "I wish you'd stretch these shoes" he said "They hurt my feet terri bly,"
 Haven't you got them broken in yet?" asked the salesman.
 "Oh, yes," said the young man. "The trouble is that can't get my feet broken in"
