A Horses Hands ard Feet.

The horse never puts his heel on the
ground. nor even the bail OF his foot.
lie stands up on the very tips of his
toes. and this is. in part. the reason
why he can trot so fast. DObbiu's 8
heels are half way up his hind legs,
and what we call his knees are really
his wrists. The part corresponding to
the upper arm is short ana is SO en-
hedded in the mgsrles.of the shoulder

but the horse has only one digit tc
each limb, and the wris; bones are
comparatively small. The so-called

Crown Prince Settles Down.

Since his marriage the German
crown prince has turned over new
leaf and is settling down strenuously.
He is full of plans for developing his
princely estate at Ocls and has prom
ised to double the salaries of his EN-
ployes if they produce the best wheat
and rye in Silesia. He talks of cult
vating beets and manufacturing sugar
on his own land, and has started build
ing model cottages for his tenants. He
saws himself he ''is never SO happy as
when he has more work than he can
get through" and that without work
he begins to rust. He has no taste
whatever for military life. but takes
aa immense interest in social ques

princess, who exercises the greatest
influence not onl' over him. but on all

GOOD BREEDING SAVED HIM.
Dogs Merits Captivates Denver
Poundmaster.

Mild submission on the part OF
numbering mastiff to all indignities in
tiicted upon him by the city dog catch
ers has won the hearts of the usually
stolid canine apprehenders and has
earned for the animal the first re-
prieve granted dog booked for execu-
tion at the city pound. According to
the usual rules of the pound the mas
tiff was slated to die at the hands of
the Law yesterday afternoon with
many others. However, when the dogs
were taken out of the enclosure TO the
gas tank. Poundmaster John Wolf
looked into the pleading eyes of the
mastif and decided to grant him a
weeks reprieve, during which time the
poundmaster Will try 10 find the dog a
home.
The canine was picked up by the
catchers in South Denver last week. 1t
is said that when the catcher's wagon
drove near to where he was standing
he ran to the whistle of one of the
men. waGging his tail. The door Of the
cage was opened to him and another
whistle caused him to jump into the
wagon unassisted.
The dog attracted the attention of
all at the pound by his good nature. He
greeted all who approached him with
wageins tail and joyous yelps of wei
come. According to the poundmaster
there was an air of refinement about
the brute which, despite his shaggy
coat proclaimed the fact that he had
seen better days. He was not a puppy,
and might have been an experienced
forager and tramp, but he was as
gentle and as playful as a kitten and
when shown any kindness by the
pound men he would stand on his hind
legs, in evident ecs'acy, and endeayor
to show his appreciation in the most
marked manner.
Inspector Mahoney, the head of the
dog department. had his attention
called to the canine and insists that
the mastiff has enough grey matter to
entirle him to u degree.-Denver Re

HAND. HOUSES
WHAT THEY WOULD NOW COST
Amazing Changes Made by Modern
Machinery-Contrast With
Colonial Oavs.

Suppose, now, every house must be
built, as in colonial days, by hand,
says Charles Barnard in the The
Reader for March. What would be the
effect on marriage, the home, the
state? Simply disastrous, more dis
astrous than could be expressed in
terms OF money. There would be
houses, of course. some of them beau
tiful. There would be homes, soTne Of
them admirable, considering the roof
trees over them-but the people-ah,
The People. What of them? MOI one
pair of lovers in one hundred could
ever expect to have the home they de-
sire and deserve. The cost of proper
houses would check marriage or check
the making of good homes. and either
one of these things would be a serious
injury to the state.
Not one per cent. of the young peo-
pie contemplating marriage today
could afford to pay the rent of even the
smallest house that would pass the in
spection Of any board of health. if it
must be made by hand, without the aid
Of machinery.
Suppose every shingle had 70 be
riven out of log by hand. Suppose
shingle nails cost 6 cents each, be
cause made at hand-blown forge with
hammer and anvil Fancy every beam
shaped from log with an ADJ. every
board sawed out in saw pit. Suppose
such dsawed lumber in Michigan
woods had to be teamed in handmade
wagons to New England. Suppose ev-
cry foot of gas or water pipe were
made by hand. 1t could not be SO made
but we may imagine it. What would
a bath room cost? We might suppose
a hundred things about a house
doors. sash. furniture. stoyes-made
by hand. and the search for the total
cost of a house would end in amaze
ment.
