Horses and Drink.

Should horses drink when they
eat? The average keeper and veter,
marian says no; just as the average
writer on hygiene says that human
beings should not. Yet they invari-
ably do, and they certainly enjoy
their food more wnen they can wash
it down. Now this is the Norwe-
gian pracuce with horses, and &C
cording to one veterinarian, you
never see a broken-winded horse in
Norway" He attributes this to the
water furnished with their meals;
and while that may be somewhat ex-
travagant, the custom is worth con-
sidering. Every one who has taken
care OF a horse has noticed that
water before meals is not relished,
while If it is given in large quantI-
ties directly afterward it tends to
wash the grain too rapidly through
the digestive tract. IN Norway every
morse has a bucket OF water beside
his manger, and, as he eats, he drinks
also. 1t is interesting to see how the
Norwegian horses relish their water
with their meals Now they sip j
little from the bucket, now they eat
a mouthful. then another sip, then
another mouthful. just like rational
human beings.

GRAVES MADE LEVEL NOW.

Modern cemetery ideas that run
contrary to deep-seated sentiment us
ually create dissatisfaction when
they are first introduced. Just now,
says Park and Cemetery, the loo hol-
ders in Cedar Grove cemetery, Brook
lyn, N. Y, are agitated over the rule
providing for the leveling of all grave
mounds.
Many of the lot holders who are
now paying for annual care Of their
lost object to a notice to- the effect
that mounds on lots for which annual
care is not paid would be levelled.
Some represent it as "a mean out
rage"
Other cemeteries have had similar
experiences. In Lakewood cemetery
Minneapolis, when a new law went
into effect regarding the lowering Of
grave mounds there were many pro
tests, but in less than a year when
the changed appearance of the sue
lions made apparent the marked i'm
provement in the lindscape by lower
ing the mounds to an almost imper-
ceptible rise over the graves lot hol-
ders began requesting this treatment
of their lots, and within a short per
iod of time several thousand grave
mounds had been lowered, the cost Of
annual care materially reduced and
the general appearance of the grounds
greatly improved.

Laps ARE ON THE DECREASE.

The Laps are decreasing in num-
Der, says the Philadelphia Record.
The most sanguine estimate of the
numbers Of the entire race in Nor
way, Sweden, and Russia does not
place them above $4,000 BY some
the number is placed far lower on the
strength of trustworthy data. In
Norbotten the number of Laps is
5000, of whom $500 are nomad
Laps, and 500 families have aban-
doned their wandering habits, have
built habitations here and there, and
have endeayored, with more or less
success, to initiate the life of the
Swedish settler.
That the race must die out eventu.
ally is certain, and its dimution may
be very speedy, though its complete
extinction may stin be far off, since
there is no race that can possibly
take It's place on the reindeer fiaell.
Yet even here We come upon a factor

the herds of tame reindeer.

The herd of reindeer, which are
taken off the high fjaell down to their
winter quarters, are now within four
or five days Of Stockholm, and there
is q good demand for reindeer flesh.

alleged, and that by equally good au-
thorities. 1t is said that Swedish

CHAPTER Xxx.

While peace and joy were taking up
their abode in the connecting wing
at Gnadeck a sad event took place
down in the valley.
Two Lindhof peasants on their way
from the village to the forest, looking
with torches for Elizabeth, heard an
angry growl like that of an exasper-
ated hound. Not far from them lay a
human figure stretched directly across
the path. A tall dog stood beside it,
having paced its forepaws as if for
protection upon the form lying upon
the ground. The animal became furi-

them. They did not venture farther
but fastened back to the village.

He had just learned from Herr Won

been found.
They all FASTENED at once to the
spot specified. This time the hound
did not growl. He whined, and wag-
ging his tail, crept to his masters
feet. 1t was Wolf, the forester's dog.

dead. A wound in her head was bleed

The forester said not a word. He

After doing without telegraph ser
vice of any character for thirty-si1
days, Roswell again has been placed
in momentary connection with the
out side world. The situation is great
ly relieved and operator having ar
rived last night and re-opened the of
fee this morning. The new operator
was sent to take the place of manager
at Roswell. formerly held by E.
DeArcy.
The new manager is Miss Sophie
Willis, formerly of the main Office OF
the Western Union at Denver She
has had no experience in the detail
of office work, always having been on
duty with the wires, and consequently
will not be able to run the office as
smoothly at first as an old manager.
But after doing without telegraph ser
vice for over five weeks the people
of Roswell will be patient until she
gets accustomed to her new line OF
work
U1til Miss Willis becomes more
familiar with her new line of work
the local office will attempt to handle
nothing but commercial business. The
Records Press report, in itself quite
a task when added to an operators
days work will not be received The
Record has sent in many complaints
and today wired a complaint that no
Associated Press service was being
received and the people here were
anxious for it. The business of the
Roswell office has long been sufficient
to keep two operators. Former Man
ager DeArcy has always complained
that the work was too much for one
man, and he was about as good as
could be found. and could handle
about as much as any other operator
in the country not using the code.
Much of the time during the past two
years the company has allowed him
an assistant. who either sent and re-
ceived some of the messages or look
ed after the Office work. Considering
these facts, the people will appreciate
the hard job on the hands of the new
manager and exercise the proper pa
thence accordingly.
The re-opening of the telegraph of
fee is largely due to the efforts OF
the Commercial Club, the organization
which is always looking after the int
erests of the town. The club had two
operators started mere before one fin
ally came. Both of them were dissuad-
ed from coming by the union. The
Commercial Club is to be congratu-
lated upon having finally gotten the
office re-opened,-and the Record can
at least send messages to headquar-
tiers "cussing'' the company for not
getting its Associated Press news
through.
