KING EDWARD TRYING
TO IMPROVE HORSES.

King Edward and Lord Marcus
Beresford are trying a novel expert
ment at the Kings stnd at saniring
ham. With a view to bringing up his
fllies from the time they are weaned
under conditions as natural Is the
circumstances will permit, the king
has built an uncovered yard which
is divided into two compounds, about
% by IA yards, surrounded by ten
foot fence There is a thickly-bedded
straw slope at the southern end, and
at the northern end there are troughs
for hay, corn and water under a
matched roof % feet deep. Late in
the afternoon the FLIES are brought
from the paddocks and divided into
the two compounds until morning. The
severe conditions of the present win
ter have enabled the king and Lord
Beresford to note the effect OF the
system, which has SO far been huge
success. The youngsters have thriven
all along and have been in the best OF
health. After the storm of December
26, when there was a whirling snow
storm from midnight until morning,
they were found with their coats COW
cred with snow. but they took It as
matter of course and did not show the
smallest sign of distress. II Is in
tended to enlarge the plan of opera
tion at Sandringham and a site has
been selected for similar compounds
for colts. The object OF this method
is to harden them TO the conditions
thoroughbred racers are often forced
to undergo.

BY Way of the Stomach.

A stomach that attends strictly 10
business and behaves itself is an I'M
portant part of man. A persons at
titude toward the world, toward llfe'
toward humanity, is partly determined
by the condition of the stomach. Many
and grievous are the abuses to which
the average person subjects his stom-
ach The wonder is not that so many
bat that so few stomaches, smartlng
under provocation, do not organize IN
surrectionary movements. The docility
Of the stomach under harsh treatment
is amazing. but when the worm, being
trodden on, does turn there's some
thing doing in the matter OF paying
penalties and squaring accounts. we
wonder that the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Human Stom-
achs doesn't file certificate Of incor-
poration. -Hartsford, Conn, Times.

In England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in a new method OF pre-
serving -four by means of compression.
With hydraulic pressure apparatus the
-four is squeezed into the form of
bricks, and experiments are reported
TO have shown that the pressure de-
stroys all forms of larval life, thus
preserving the -four from the ravages
of insects. while it is equally secure
from mold Three hundred pounds of
compressed -four occupies the same
space as 100 pounds of -four in the
ordinary state.-Kansas City Star.

LABOR IN BIG DEMAND.

The proposition of President Nc
Crea to increase the age at which men
may enter the employment OF the
Pennsylvania railroad to 40 years is
recognized as the result of the scar
city of labor. II wou.G be correct 10
recognise that the scarcity is IN SIS
ratio to the Demand. There are more
laborers. skilled and unskilled, In the
country than ever before, but toe de-
hand !or their services has increased
in greater proportion than the supply.
We need not claim that there is not
ffmuch improvement yet to be sought.
But 1t is certainly the historical fact
that the competitive era has. as one
of its chief results, wrought an int
mense improvement in the compensa-
ton of labor and its industrial liberty.

LONG PURSE NEEDED FOR WAR

When we turn TO cannon we can re-
alize the money cost Of war from the
fact that the appropriation just made
by congress for an experimental
fourteen-inch gun is $4,000 That is,
the type piece to be used experiment
tally will cost that sum. A single
gun today often calls for what would
have been deemed "a handsome pri-
vate fortune" in the simpler days of
our land This constantly incr 'asing
money cost of war is one of the great
Influences that make for peace. Only
very rich nations can indulge in the
luxury of making war, when /. is nee
essary to load every musket with gold
as well as lead The lohg-range purse
counts more than the long-r .ngs rife,
and 1t is the realization of lis truth
more than reflection on the horrible
effect Of new inventions that disposes
military powers to ponder on the pos
sibility of general disarmament

THE REAL VEGETARIAN.

To be a real vegetarian one must
live on unlocked food An excited writ
er in an exchange maintains there Is
a vast difference between the mush
eater and the vegetarian. The mush
eater, it seems, generally looks like
a dyspeptic his cheeks sunken and
teeth decayed from lack of use" The
real kind lives on uncooked cereals,
fruits. milk, cheese, olive oil, honey
and vegetables, instead of pining his
faith to the mushed-up, boiled, creased
and spiced messes called food. -
