If you will stop to notice the char

you Will get another view of the cruei-
ty done to our faithful servants. And
|. you could make an examination Of
these bits and headgear. you would be
more astonished than ever.
1t would be impossib', to estimate
the suffering that horses undergo from
high checking and from the weight Of
metal brought to bear on their frail
underjaws.
The modern fashionable bit weighs
two and half pounds. The weight Of
that bit rests on the lower jaw, where
the bone Is the frailest in the whole
anatomy Of the horse. There are no
teeth to prevent the big, heavy bit from
bruising the tender jawbone. At that
point there Is only tusk. have seen
that lone tooth SO sore and tender from
where the heavy bits hit 1t that the
horse could hardly be bridled at all.
Besides this two-and-a-half-p
bit, there Is another bit In the horses
mouth. one to which the checkrein Is
fastened. The latest fashionable check
works on pulley. Then, with mar
tingale fastened to the noseband and
beiiyband, the horse can't even toss his

A Slight Gap.

A genealogist, like a poet, must be
born, not made. The naive statements
offered by persons whose one desire is
to show lineage which will secure
them admittance to some exclusive or
gandzation drive the real genealogist
to rage or tears.
Il don't see why 1 can't Join the
Daughters Of the Early Founders
said an indignant young woman to a
friend. my line is perfectly clear ex-
cept In one place. It's SO absurd!"
What is the troublesome placeT
asked the genealoglst.
"Oh, It's In the eighteenth century.~
said the young woman, with much irri-
tation. "They just failed to keep the
records, Of course. OF all foolish
things! Why, 1 can remember back to-
grandfather, you see, and mother re-
members two more generations, and
we're perfectly sure our ancestors came
over from England, in the seventeenth
century. The name is spelled little

A tramp has beaten all known rec
ords by swimming twenty-seven miles
in thirty minutes. He did not mean
TODD 1t. He merely tried to steal a
ride from st. Louis TO Chicago on the
rear Of locomotive tender. When the
train started he fell over backward,
through the open manhole, into the
water-tank. The noise Of the train
drowned his cries for help, and he was
Obliged to swim until the first stop was
reached, at Alton. When taken out
he was nearly dead, but the engineer
was 30 unfeeling as to call his atten-
ton to the fact that the water was
only four feet deep, and he might have
stood up. The conductor, also unfeel-
Ing, asked him for his ticket, but the
tramp said he had not come by rail,
but by water.

head higher, II 1t was a physical possi-
bility, to get the temporary rest that
that would afford him.
But we seem to be getting worse in
stead of better. The latest invention
Is bit with tremendous paw run
ming back and squeezing the horses
tongue down so that he cannot move
1t.
This last effort Of fashion, of course
is to keep the horses tongue from loll-
ing from his mouth when he Is checked
SO high that In his agony he let's the
tongue out to try some change to re-
lleve the pain. Though the bulldog in
the seat Of the carriage may have his
tongue hanging out without showing
bad form, still for the hot, prancing
horse to do 1t Is simply intolerable!
If you want to imagine something of
the agony Of the modern fashionable
carriage horse, go to any swell harness
store and lift the head stall with the
bits in place. And any horse will go
better with a plain snaffle bit. Its
weight is one-tenth that of the other
and the horse obeys the rein quicker.
But the objection to the snaffie bit Is
that horse will act naturally; he will
look around and enjoy his work, II he

One Of the Yale professors has been
making study Of the occupations Of
Yale graduates by classes. He finds,
among other things, that a constantly
iessening number are entering the min
istry, and steadily increasing num-
Der are studying law. The law now
claims more than twice as many as
any other profession. Next to it comes
finance. Less than one-twelfth Of the
graduates enter the ministry, in spite
of the fact that one OF the purposes
for which Yale was founded was ITO
train godly young men for the Chris
tian ministry" But, side by side with
these facts, 1t is also noted that char

Theodore P. Shonts, railroad man,
canal builder limited and head of
family, has been giving excellent ad-
vice to girls. He has daughters of his
own, and speaks with feeling and con-
eviction. His gospel may seem rather
dry and prosaic, but that Is because of
a few unguarded and sweeping express
sions. In reality, it is not devoid of
poetry and idealism-qulte the contra
ry. Mr.. Shonts warns girls against
marrying men solely on account Of
their positions, personal appearance,
clothes or other "externals." He tells
them that impulsive and purely senti-
mental unions are rarely happy. He
would have them Judge men from NOR
al and intellectual points of view, and
assure themselves of the sincerity,
manliness, strength, ESSENTIAL nobility
of those who aspire to their hands.
The man who is handsome and fasci-
mating to boot will always have nat
ural advantage over the worthy and
nice man whose physical qualities and
other "externals' are below par, and
far be 1t from Mr. Shonts to depre-
ciate distinction Of manner or beauty
of person. But the admirable Shonts
gospel Is rather one-sided. 1t ignores
the young men. Women from the be-
ginning Of history have admired pow
er, courage, ability and sincerity In
men, and have instinctlvely subordl-
mated "externals' to moral and men,
tai qualities. If they hadn't, what
would have been the fate Of millions
Of useful but not ornamental speci-
mems Of the rougher sex? But men,
and men Of all ages, alas! have never
shown much discretion in their affairs
of the heart. Beauty has drawn them
by single hair. A pretty face, a dim
ple fine figure, an arch way-and all
considerations Of prudence and sense
are thrown to the winds. Mr.. Shonts
should have said something to young
men In behalf Of the sweet, modest,
quiet, brave, unselfish girls whose for
tunes are not In their faces and fig
ures. Sincerity, goodness and amiabili-
ty should be cherished by men in worn-
en-, and the race should not always be
to the brilliant and good looking girls.
Surely Mr. Shonts does not imagine
that men need no advice as to how to
discover charm and gifts in the girls
Of their acquaintance.

Before the great PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road bridge can be built across the
East River at Hell Gate, the plans
must be approved by the art commits
sion Of New York. This Is In accord
ance with provisions In the charter of
the city that no bridge, statue or pub
lie building may be erected without
first passing the scrutiny of men of
taste and judgment The commission
has condemned many proposed works
to the satisfaction of the people of
taste. The new bridge, according to
the pictures of the architects, will be
a dignified structure. The main span,
a thousand feet long, will be supported
/ from two ornamental piers, built Of
granite and concrete. 1t will carry
four tracks, two for passenger and
two for freight cars, and will be a
hundred and forty feet above the
water at high tide. The bridge is to
connect the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad with the Penn
sylvania system by way Of the tunnels
under the East and Hudson rivers, 30
that 1t may not be necessary to carry
trains round New York on ferry boats.
When completed 1t will be the fifth
bridge crossing the East River from
Long Island. The Others are the old
Brooklyn bridge, the Williamsburg
bridge, the Manhattan bridge, now
building near the Brooklyn bridge, and
the Blackwell's Island bridge, still un-
finished. The suggestion once made by
naval engineer to build low bridges
with draws to accommodate shipping
does not meet with approval. In fact,
each new bridge Is little higher than
the last The Pennsylvania bridge is
five feet higher above the water than
the Brooklyn bridge.
