WHO SHOULD RAISE HORSES.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Says 1t Depends
on the Man.

In growing horses, as in growing
other kinds of live stock, the most
potent factor is the man. Some men
should grow draft horses only. Some
should grow only trotters. The many
should raise the former, as they are
SO much more easily grown. The few
should grow the latter. The men who
can grow good trotting horses, that
is, trotting horses of really superior
merit, are few and far between while
those who can also develop them are
fewer still. Some men should not
grow any kind of horses, as they will
not make a success of it. They will
not make success of it because they
do not understand it or because they
do not like it, or for both reasons.
No one should engage in growing
horses who does not take kindly to
the work. And no one should engage
in growing any particular kind of
horses or any class of the same unless
his tastes run in that line However,
II one understands his business and
grows that class of horses in which
he is most interested, there is but
little doubt that he will succeed in
the work.

Feeding Oil Meal to Cattle,

The longer you feed oil meal the
higher the finish, but you can see
the effects of it in go days. The ques-
ton was raised whether if oil meal is
to be fed just 60 days it should be
fed the first go days or the last go
days of the feeding period. H. w.
Mumford says: 81 don't know" He
said that most persons would answer
the last 60 days, that being the COM
mon practice. But he has seen such
a difference IL the way cattle start on
feed. 1t takes a great deal longer to
get cattle started to gain on corn and
clover hay than where oil meal is fed
at first; with oil meal they start right
off. The corn and clover cattle make
their large gains along toward the
last. He would like to see the matter
tested scientifically. The oil meal will
show in the finish of the cattle if it
is fed at the beginning and not at the
close of the feeding period.

necessary is to remove it occasion

Weak
Kidneys

Cause more trouble than any other organ Of
the body. The function of the kidneys is to
separate inorganic salt and water in the pro-
cess of circulation, and to remove them and
their attendant poisons from the body through
the bladder. Therefore when the kidneys
become diseased and weak they are naturally
unable to perform their work properly, and
pains in the back, Inflammation of the bladder
and urinary disorders are the result. 1t is
imperative that a prompt relief be afforded
which is impossible unless you remove the
cause.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills
promptly eliminate poisons from the system
and at the same time make the kidneys well
and strong.
For Weak Kidneys, Backache, in

Husband and Wife.

Before a woman has learned to cul-
tivate this necessary indifference to
her husbands comings ;.nd goings,
says candid wife, in writing of her
troubles in Harper's Bazar, comes the
time, as it did with me, when she is
apt to by tyrannical and exacting, and
to make him feel a good deal of a
brute for having INDUCED in some
perfectly legitimate amusement
where she had no part; while all the
time, in his heart of hearts, he knows
that he has had perfect right to do
as he did, that he hasn't been brute,
and that life is very uncomfortable
thing. A man can't always be ex-
pected to remember "that what is a
trifie in the days large activities to
him is an event of insistent pressure
to his wife"
have no solution to offer for this
problem. 1t is incontestable to any
fair-minded woman that man ought
to have every legitimate freedom of
action. 1t is also incontestable that
he pays for this freedom with, first,
a good deal of loneliness and bewil-
derment on his wife's part, and later,
he gains it only by her giving up
some of the finer and most beautiful
things in their early relations towards
each other.

A PonuIar school PrinclpnI.

Mrs. Cynthia A. Green, school
principal of Charlotte, Mich, was
chosen County School Commissioner
at the last election by the largest ma
jority ever given to any candidate in
that city. The result was greeted
with unparalleled enthusiasm
Crowds gathered, bands played, a
huge bonfire was made of material
which the high school boys had spent
days in gathering, the bells of the
churches, the high school and the
court house were rung and the fire
whistles blew. The Fire Department
made an exhibition rum" and the
boys of the city, who were wild with
delight, put the new Commissioner
into q carriage and drew her in tri-
umph through the streets. The VIC
tory was the more gratifying to the
young woman because there had been
certain people who declared that a
woman had no business in public
Office and one of the city papers had
refused to print Miss Green's an
nouncement that she would stand,
even as an advertisement.

A Thimble Party.

"Thimble," written in the corner
of an otherwise ordinary invitation
to an "at home" denotes. not that you
have received an invitation to an old
fashioned sewing bee, but that you
are bidden to an up-to-date function
of busy women.
The function differs from the Or
dinary "at home" only in the fact
that the guest is expected to remove
quickly her hat and wrap, take her
sewing from her bag, and work with
the other ladies during the reception
hour. The hostess, on such occasions,
sews continuously during the hours
that her guests are present, her in
innate friends looking after the
guests in every way.
A substantial sideboard luncheon
is provided in the dining room, while
bon-bons and punch are placed within
easy reach of the busy workers.
Usually each guest brings her own
work, and exchanges ideas with the
others present, after the fashion COM
mon on hotel piazzas, but occasionally
work is provided by the hostess, and
the guests are asked to sew for some
worthy cause.
In little country town. last year,
lady living near the village had
"thimble afternoon" on alternate
Wednesdays. To this all her friends
were welcome, informally, for few
moments, or the entire time, from
8 to 6 o'clock. 1t proved most pop
ular function, and led to the extern
sion of many simple hospitalities in
the neighborhood. Indeed these
thimble parties may usher in the
reign, in that vicinity, of the old-time
hospitality such as our grandmothers
enjoyed, when they took their knit
ting and went to "sit" with neigh
Dor through the afternoon, their hus-
bands, after doing up their chores at
an earlier hour than usual, appear

Rich widow In Public Llfe.

Mrs. Marshall Field, widow of the
late merchant prince, has been ap-
pointed by the Mayor of Chicago head
of an advisory board of health, the
object of which is to interest
churches, schools, lodges, societies,
clubs and labor unions in improving
the clty's health; educate these on
matters of vital Importance in fight
ing and preventing disease; formulate
plans for supervising the city's food,
meat, milk and ice supplies; fight
contagious diseases; save the lives of
city babies and bring the health de-
partment closer to the people. Mrs.
Field, in carrying out the plans of
Dr. Evans, will use her influence as a
representative woman of Chicago to
enlist the women of the city in cam
paign of education for the purpose of
teaching the public to cooperate with
the health department in preventing
and checking the spread OF disease
She was prevailed upon to lend her
assistance to the plan because it was
believed that she would succeed bet
ter than any one else in stirring up
the great energy of Chicago women
and directing 1t in a way that would
make the work of the health depart
ment more feasible and elective

Women in France,

The good feeling which is develop
ing between England and France
may induce Engllsh-speaking folk the
world over to take few valuable
lessons of the French. They have
been traditionally regarded as tickle
people, much given to the drinking
of absinthe and to social intrigue,
and successful chiefly in the devising
OF gay and expensive fashions, to the
depletion OF English and American
pocketbooks.
In point of fact, the French as o
nation have certain notable virtues
which we may emulate. For exam
pie, the average Frenchman, instead
of being wanderer, is emphatically
family man. His ruling ambition
is to own a home which he may en-
joy himself and bequeath to his chill
dren. If he has inherited one, 1t is
his greatest pride to preserve and
beautify 1t.
He chooses his wife not only for
her dowry, but also for her domestic
virtues. The French wife is the best
business woman in the world. House
hold AFFAIRS are left entirely to her,
and so usually Is the investment OF
family savings. She has a clear idea
of what makes for comfort, but she
has no such passion for things" as
often weighs down the life of the
American housewife. Draperies and
carpets and stuffed chairs may be
lacking in madame's house, but ex-
cellent cooking and good temper are
pretty sure to be found there.
One notable illustration of the do
nestle virtue OF the French is to be
seen in their regard for mothers-in-
law. 1t is not unusual to find fam
lilies in friendly rivalry for the privi-
lege OF entertaining the mother-in-
law, and there is many a household
in France where two mothers-in-law
live respected and happy, with chill
dren and grandchildren.
We have long imported gowns and
hats from France. 1t would be good
now to import love for the home
stead. the thrift which by skllful
cooking contrives toothsome and
nourishing food from inexpensive ma
terial. and those gentle domestic man
ners which make the roof-tree dear,
the dinner table pleasant and family
affection true and deep. There can
not be an oversupply of these admira-
bic qualities. Youths Compauicr

Suggestions.
In comparison with Gods power,
our power may be neglected. It is
as easy for God to give the victory
to an unarmed lad as to Alexander.
The best cure for pesslmism is
study of Gods omnipotence. Let the
leathen rage. He that sitteth in the
heavens shall laugh!
In estimating the chances of right
eousness, do not weigh the power Of
righteous men, but the power of di.

All that opposes God exists merely
by permission, and could be annihilat-
ed by a breath from His mouth.
Illustrations.
Could mechanic make a machine
that was greater than the mechanic?
And must not God have control of
the universe He has formed?
The earth carries with like ease
Napoleon and an ant. So God carries
with equal ease a man and a world
of men.
Gods omnipotence is at the dispos.
al Of Gods children, but as the ocean
is at the disposal of the vessels that
dip up; 1t matters little whether
they are large or small.
Questions.
Am afraid Of Gods omnipotence,
or comforted by It?
Do I so trust in God that I have no
fear of men?
