Usefulness in Horses.

A Manchester IN. Y. J letter in the
Rochester Herald says that consider
able attention has recently been
given there by horsemen to the diff
ference in years of the life Of use
fulness OF horses. Many horses well
advanced In years have been discov-
cred which are in a healthier condi-
tion than other horses not half their
age. DR.. George A. Shaw, veterinary
surgeon of that place, states that In
most cases conditions of this kind
are owing to the horses teeth.
Many horses, it is said, reach the
age of thirty-fve years, constantly
doing hard work, and on examination
are all found to have second set OF
teeth, while others that often require
veterinary skill and are not half the
age of the older horses are all found
to have bad teeth. Daniel Record,
of Pennington, has horse thirty
three years of age that has set OF
sound teeth. Mrs. Record has used
the animal for a road horse for the
past seventeen years, and only a few
days ago it showed youthful traits
by trying to run away with its owner.
DR.. Shaw states that certain breeds
of horses are the most apt to have
good teeth and naturally long life,
and that in most cases the horses that
excel lin fieetness have better teeth
than those bred for endurance and
draft. Whether 1t is the ponderous
dray horse or the diminutive Shet-
land pony, it is the teeth of the ami
NAL that enable him to travel the
road OF old age in graceful manner.

Gods promises are ever on the as
cending scale. One leads up to an
other fuller and more blessed than
itself. In Mesopotamia, God said,
Il will show thee the land" In Ca
naan, 81 will give thee all the land,
and children innumerable as the
grains of sand"
1t is thus that God allures us to
saintliness. Not giving US anything
till we have dared TO act, that He
may test us. Not giving everything
at first, that He may overwhelm US,
and always keeping in hand an In
finite reserve of blessing. Oh, the
unexplored remainders of God! Who
ever saw His last star?-F. b.
Never.

Bagging Grapes.

A French experimenter, o. Opoix,
has found that it is profitable to bag
the cluster before the flowers open,
in order to protect the blossoms from
the vicissitudes of the weather.
Bagged at this stage, he leaves the
bottom of the bag open. But for the
best results he bags them after thin
ming the lunches. He found that
the advantages were that the bagged
grapes were twelve to fifteen days
earlier than those left open, and that
the skin was thinner and more trans
parent, resembling hothouse grapes
in appearance. The bags also were
the most efficient protection against
insects.

Life and Things.

The Bible nowhere dlscourages the
possession of things. 1t says moth
ing whatever against 1t. But 1t does
say this, that mans life does not
consist in things--in the abundance
of the things which he may possess.
He may possess things; that may
not be wrong, and may not do the
man any harm; but 1t is very wrong,
and of very great harm, when the
things begin to possess the man, or
when the man begins to estimate his
life by the abundance Of things which
he possesseth.-Rev. G. b. F.. Hal

HRE We HO,Y."

Alternate Topic for August 25: The
holiness that God requires. Ps. "a:
3-5; Eph. a. 2o-24.
Men that require are seldom men
that give, but God freely furnishes
everything that he requires.
Holiness is not an impractical quail
ity; holiness is purity in action.
God does not require perfection:
He offers it; HI requirement is that
we reach out after It.
Men speak of holiness as negation;
rather, it is the white light in which
all other qualities are best seen.
Christianity is the reception of the
Holy Spirit; holiness. therefore, is a
necessary result of Christianity.

THE DEBATE OPENS.
Senator Smith Begins the Maximum
Rate Discussion.

Senator F. D. Smith opened the de-
bate on the maximum rate bill this
afternoon He argued in favor of the
Is per cent horizontal cut IN freight
rate. He claimed that on this basis.
the Kansas rates as proposed by his
amendment would be only a fraction
of a cent higher than Illinois, and low
er than any state similarly situated
H'-Don't you think 1t is better. he
said, ITO make q cut that the railroads
Will stand. and which will probably
go into effect at once in time TO move
next years crops, rather than go home
with lawsuitEoR your hands"
How do you know" said Senator
Robertson. that you won't go home
with a lawsuit If you do put in the Is
per cent cut2"
Il don't know it, said Smith, but
1 know that railroad men have said
they would accept 4 121 4 per cent cut.
and I think we may be able to get Is
per cent. At any rate we will put in
a rate which we can defend in court
Senator Stewart of Sedgwick county
then spoke against the Is per cent cut
He thought that a still greater reduc-
ton might be made
Il believe" he said. I'VE should in
crease the cut from Is per cent rather
than reduce it,
