Have his harness fit.
He'll last much longer.
Above all, don't overtax his strength.
Give him little water very often.
Don't give him big drink directly
after a meal.
Don't allow him to eat too fast
Even scatter his grain on a clean floor
Don't beat stupid horse-that only
proves the drivers stupidity.
Stay with him while he Is shod-
the shoer may hit him over the head
running him.
A few days rest, with earth to stand
on, unshod, will do him more good
than veterinary treatment in many
cases.

For removing rust from polished

taking 10 parts of tin putty, parts of
prepared buckhorn and 25O parts spir-

mixed to soft paste and rubbed in on

Practically all the California and

The Inferior Bohemian graphite,
which Is too impure or compact for use

According to the English Mechanic,
articles of brass or copper boiled in a

hLa phar nf o,.rio,
cles of every description crowding the
streets Of Paris augments continually,
and the danger, not only to pedestri-

has become so great that an engineer,
Monsieur Henard, proposes the estab-
lishment, at the most dangerous cross
ings, Of circular island Of refuge"
in the center, and the regulation of all
traffic In such manner that every We
hicle traversing the crossing-point, no
matter what its ultimate direction may
be, shall pass round the central plateau
in the same direction. Thus the dan

The interest of astronomers in the
strange red spot, about 10000 miles in
length, which has been visible ON the
surface Of the planet Jupiter since
1878, Is intensified by the recent obser-
vations Of Mr.. w. f. Denning, and
others, on a remarkable change in its
rate Of motion. In period Of about
three months last year it was dis
placed some 16 degrees of longitude
from the position calculated as the ba-
sis Of it's former motion. This is the
greatest change that has ever been OBJ
served in its rate Of motion. On Ju-
piter the visible surface of the planet
does not revolve, like the surface of
the earth, everywhere with the same
angular velocity, but, in general, the
parts nearest the equator move with
the greatest rapidity. Thus the huge
planet resembles rotating ball of con-
stantly changing clouds, and in the
midst of these the great red spot seems
to float.

A Good spray Mixture.

Paris green does not dissolve, but Is
held in suspension in water, hence the
water must be constantly agitated to
apply It. The Ohio Experiment Station
recommends much cheaper mixture,
which is soluble in water. 1t Is made
by dissolving two pounds of commercial
white arsenic and four pounds Of car
Donate of (washing) soda In two gal
Ions of water. Use one and one-half
plnts Of this mixture to each barrel
of Bordeaux mixture when spraying
for blight and scab.

So much interest was taken by business
people in the search for the missing young
ster that several donated lunches for the
workers. The officials of the Soldiers Home
telephoned the camp that they had twelve
gallons Of coffee and some lunch for the
searchers. The A. Loeffler- Co. also noti-
fed the police that they would give hot

supplied some bread. These later supplies
were taken out to the camp by Policeman

Crothers is. capable of greater and
better work than in any other time of their
life.
Coming from sturdy stock. he attained
large proportions. standing nearly six feet
high and built proportionately large with
out impressing his casual acquaintance as
being stout. He has large and full face.
which is constantly wreathed in af-
fable smile, and when he shakes hands the
person receiving his salute is never in any
danger OF forgetting the grip for several
moments after.
AS boy he evidenced a keen desire for
study. and at the public schools and at
West Nottingham University. where he
received the greater part of his education,
he laid the foundation then for his future
successful life. After completing his stud
les he taught school for a time, but soon
found that the quiet humdrum Of the school
room was not at all suited to his ideas OF
life He was a man to do things, and
the constant repetition of the days at the
classroom soon helped him to determine
that he not school teacher by voca-
ton. and. following a natural inclination.
he came to Baltimore and studied law at
the University Of Maryland. where he was
graduating in 1890 with honors.
In the seven years which elapsed between
the day of his graduation and 1897. when
he was elected to be state senator from
Cecil county. he has been acclaimed the
leader of the democratic organization OF
the county. and has become pawer in the
eastern shore councils OF his party. he
has served term states attorney, ana
has exhibited a particularly noticeable
briliance in oratory.
During his term as state senator he was
appointed chairman of the finance commit
tee and made democratic leader Of the
senate. In the former pos! uon he made
an impression upon the state officials which
has never been forgotten, his course in that
committee being recalled several nights ago
by ex-Mayor Latrobe. who was associated
with him at the time. The latter spoke
in the highest terms of his former colleague
and wished him success.
Judge CrotherS was conservative and
cautious. but at the same time 50 logical
in his rulings of the committee that his
course IT. every matter was followed with
acclaim. He showed a. tendency to guard
the outlay of the peoples money. and in
his administration saved the state thou
sands of dollars that might have been ex-
pended on wildcat legislative schemes.
In 1899 he again. but was defeated.
as was also the case two years later. In
1894. This was due to financial differences
in the county.
On March % OF last year Gov. Warfield
appointed Mr.. Crothers associate judge to
fill the vacancy made by the death of Judge
Edwin Brown. The appointment was &C
copied by democrats being proper

then Judge Crothers has occupied his posi-
ton on the bench.
Judge Crothers is unmarried and lives at
Elkton. Cecil county. During the last ten
years he has made some Of the most nota-
Bile speeches in the state.

POLICE AIDED sEARCHERs.
Camp Cut Off by Absence Of Telephone
Facilities

Commissioner West who was very much
interested in the search for the Barker
child, placed himself in communication this
morning with the office of the Associated
Charities and offered to furnish all possible
assistance. Miss Croop, in charge of the
Associated Charities office, replied that
every effort was being made to locate the
boy, and that the police were being espe-
cially helpful.
In speaking Of the case today the Commits
sioner said that a telephone message to the
tenth precinct showed that Capt Elliott
was on the ground and was doing all in his
power to aid in the search. Mss Green
reported to Commissioner West that a gen.
tleman had offered the use Of two blood
hounds and that these animals would be
placed upon the scent of the boy as quickly
as possible. Further investigation showed
that 1t was impossible to communicate with
Camp Good VIII owing to the lack Of tele-
phone connection. This fact led Commits
sioner West to confer with Supt. Allen of
the electrical apartment, who reported that
under the order of the Commissioners no
wires Of any kind were allawed In Rock
Creek Park.
Patrol Box for Camp.
In view Of the fact that telephone connec-
ton with Camp Good VIII will be a tenn
porary matter during the summer months,
Commissioner West then took up the aues-
ton of allowing the wires during this
summer period. but it was decided that Mr..
Allen should arrange, If possible, to have a
patrol box with a telephone stationed on
the boundary of the park, which would be
within short distance of the camp
1t Is probable that some ARRANGEMENT of
this kind will be adopted in order that the
residents of Camp Good Will may be able
to communicate promptly with the city
THE District authorities will, Of course ;"
said Commissioner West today, Cooperate
to the utmost with the managers of Camp
Good VIII in the endeavor to locate the lost
boy. The police have been instructed to
use every means In their power to solve the
mystery"
