ded, there is only one variety that is
at present used TO any great extent
for this purpose. Some years ago
seaweed attained a widespread pop
ularity, especially in England, and be-
came very fashionable, so much so
that the demand far exceeded the sup
ply. which is at all times strictly linn
tied, for though the harvest time lasts
from October until the beginning OF
April, the entire amount collected an
nually for commercial purposes is
only some 20 or 80 tons.
The Isle OF Grain Is the home OF
the seaweed harvesters. The weed,

waited In any way, but drifts ashore
and is picked up on the beach and
foreshore at low tide Exactly where
It comes from does not seem to have

MR. oRlsTLsroN PHILOSOPHERS
Oh SUBJECT.
Thinks There Are Fsw Who Az
Sweet Abroad and Sour When
in the Bosom Of Their
Family.

AFou know, said Nj Grisueton,
when hear % said Of man that
he's good as pie to everybody else.
but you ought 10 see how he treats
his folks. don't set It down right
away that the man so described must
be necessarily a brute OF a sneak.
You see, if he Is going 10 show peev-
ishness anywhere. home is the proper
place for it; there it can do his family
and himself the least harm. 1t Is es-
sential TO his success in life that he
should put up good front and show
a smiling face to the world
"As a matter OF fact Che terms are
contradictory. for a man can scarcely
be permanently III tempered at home
and yet present even a veneer Of
grace sufficient to deceive abroad. A
man Is likely to reveal himself at an
times for what he really is; to be,
in the main, either good or bad every
where; but if he have a streak Of
weakness in him. why that / would
prefer he should keep for home, and
So think would his family.
They want him to make a good
impression in the world, to appear
everywhere to advantage, and they
are ready to put up with his shortcom-
ings. to make allowances. and after all
they don't have to make so many,
and they know his ways and they
can charm away his crossness easily
enough.
The truth is that while there may
be men who are saints abroad and
sayages at home there are not many
such; most men are pretty decent,
and these stories we hear about men
who are so good TO other people and
SO mean to their own are likely to be
without any real foundation or great
ly exaggerated or born out Of
chance disclosure.
Jones family, for instance, know
him for what he is, strong, vigorous,
able man who keeps his temper and
behaves himself admirably in the
world, though there he has much to
contend with; and they are willing,
more than willing. that he should for
get his troubles and even lose his
temper occasionally at home II he
wants to. It gives them an opportuni-
ty to soothe and comfort him and be
good to him and strengthen him. They
not only don't mind. but they really
like him to be natural and human;
they are not disturbed because he has
some failings like the rest Of US, and
they know he'll be serene and strong
again in a minute.
so take little stock in the stories
We hear occasionally Of this man OF
that who is said to be good as pie to
strangers but sour chap with his
avn. You can set Il down for a fact
I that the mar who has the strength
and courage and self-eontrol to bear
himself like a man abroad through
the day is. as a rule and despite any
transient pettinesses that he may
there reveal, pretty sure to be mar
whom they are right glad to see al
night at home"

What gave Mr.. Hatmaker the idea
that thoroughbred colts could be adj
vantageously reared on this dry milk
was the fact that children fed upon
II and grew and developed much more
rapidly than upon any other food. He.
therefore, concluded that If colt
could be fed upon Il Il would reach
development much earlier than colts
fed in the ordinary way, and that he
might get a horse with the physical
development Of a three-year-old in
two years. or the development Of q
four-year-old in three years. He.
therefore, bought a thoroughbred colt
26 days old and took it from is
mother and fed 1t upon dry milk. He
gave 1t no other food-except a small
quantity of hay 10 give bulk-and his
expectation was soon realized. He
weighed the colt every day and found
that it gained over two and a half
pounds daily. and when It was one
year old it weighed 752 pounds. and
had gained at least four months on
colts fed in the ordinary way.
He continued the feeding with dry
milk-never giving the horse a parti-
Gle Of grain-and his horse reached
its full maximum Of weight in the uns
precedented time OF Is months anG
ten days. At that time it weighed
1912 pounds, and had gained S25
pounds in the 55S days that had IN
lervened since Il was weaaed, an ag-
erage OF over one and half pounds
