DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to

The interview left Sherlock Holmes

a Matter of Pronunciation.
From the Lonhon Chronlcle.

From the London Chronicle.
Is 1T too late to make u stand against
the mispronounciation Of the word
treize as applied to Irish tweed? On
the other side of st. Georges channel
they know better than to confuse their
wall decoration with their dress ma
.terial, and pronounce the one freeze
and hi other ~"frise.' SO did we in Old
England. Originally meaning the curl
ing nap on cloth-trom the French
'.friser,'' to curl; Welsh. ~"ffris," nap OF
,c1oth-frize. as it was then spelled and
pronounced, came to mean cloth that
rad a nap one one side, and is now
applied to II rough kind of homespun.
We can be sure Of the old p~ronuncia-
tion from the motto Worn by Brandon.
Duke OF Suffolk, when, on his mar
fiage with Henry Wills sister, he APP
peared at q tournament on q horse
%drapped half in "frize" and half in cloth

"A horse is a valuable asset, and
! should receive the best care possible.
| He should be we'll fed, comfortably
| stabbed, carefully groomed and clipped
in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work well and
improve in value. A horse lives under
| artificial conditions. In his wild state
he required non Of these attentions,
for he was able tc look out for himself.
The domesticated animal, being worked
under conditions that are in themselves
artificial, must be kept in condition for
such work.
The clipping Of a horse in the early
spring is now conceded py all the lead-,
ing veterinarians to be as essential to-
q horses we'll being as shoeing him or
giving him a comfortable bed to lie on
Farmers in England and France have
been clipping their horses for many
wears, and American farmers are not
slow to realize its advantages. A
clipped horse dries out rapidly after a
hard days work, and will rest comfort
ably and be refreshed for the work the
following day. An unclipped horse iai
liable to catch the heaves, pneumonia
and all sorts of colds. rheumatism, etc.
More especially is this so IN the early
spring. when his hair IS long and he
Is soft" If worked hard he will per-
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food that
should 20 to nourish him will be used
to replenish the heat that Is being con-
stantly taken from his body by the
mass of cold wet hair. If clipped, the
perspiration will evaporate almost as
soon as secreted, and when put in the
stable he rests comfortably and his
food does him good.
Some years ago a Buffalo street car
company tested the value Of clipping
In the following manner They owned
800 horses, and $50 OF these were
clipped early in the spring and go

kept Of results. and it was found that
of the $50 unclipped horses 1853 were
afflicted with coughs and pneumonia,
while of the $50 clipped not n case
Of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health If he did hard manual
work clothed with heavy underwear, a
heavy suit and a fur %oyercoat, and
after perspiring freely, as he naturally
would, go to sleep without removing

a horse to be in perfect health II
