ST. Thomas Episcopal church in
Fifth avenue has under its jurisdiction
an East side chapel, says the New
York Sun. One of the features OF
the chapel is n gymnasium, in which
boys are trained In all the branches
OF physical culture. Some of the boys
are quicker in this sort of training
than they are in the more polite talk
OF the West side boys.
The rector of St Thomas. Rev. DR..
Stires. visits the chapel frequently.

about their work. He said to one VI

folks simply cant distinguish be-
tween the right and the wrong"
Mai. McClaughry told story OF
a man who was sent to a penitentiary
for ten years for robbing bank of
$4,000 He had reached through the
wicket at the teller's station. snatched
pile of bills, escaped from the bank
and had hid the money before he was ar
rested.
Well. sir. he was a model prisoner"
Maj. McClaughry said He behaved
so well that everybody about the
penitentiary liked him, and by such
conduct he succeeded in obtaining
enough credit marks to reduce his
time of Imprisonment from ten years
to six years and nine months. day

 Sir Oliver Lodge, the" eminent EnE- fish scientist, Is reported to have er-- pressed his belief in the theory of ther poisoning of the cultivated lands wf- rho world.

GOVERNMENT STUD AT COLORADO EX-
 TREATMENT STATION.
 breeding of horses for individual ex- cellence of conformation, quality and action Is carried to a greater degree than i'll any other state, and, contrary to popular opinion, the most of the men outside of the thoroughbred es- tablishments who make their living from horse breeding in Kentucky-in the blue grass counties at least-are breeding not for speed, but for type. This has been going on for years, and for this reason the good, handsome horses of Kentucky have usually been appreciated, their history traced and their descendants accounted for. If the same careful attention to points of conformation and action had been shown fifty years ago by Morgan breeders in New England and had there been displayed the same enthu- siasm for and loyalty to valuable local type of horses there would now be no necessity for government aid tu save the Morgan from destruction. If horsemen in the limestone sections Of the corn belt had paid less atten- tion to the speed records of the stall lions in their localities and more to their Individuality the carriage horse work of the department of agriculture would be out of place. ---
 Specific work in horse breeding by the United States government was first made possible by the inclusion in the appropriation act for the fiscal year ended June 30 1905, of an item of $25,ooo for experiments in animal breeding and feeding in cooperation with state agricultural experiment stations .... -... ..
 The reasons for taking up the breeding of carriage horses have been fully set forth in various publications. in articles for the press and in public addresses. but recapitulation here may not be out of order. Briefly stated, they were: That carriage horses are, as Q rule, the most valuable class on the market. that as a result of the strong demand the supply was gradually diminishing and that, not withstanding all the importations of the carriage type from abroad, the preferred horse was the American horse. Most important of all, how ever, was the feeling that steps should be taken to correct the practice of castrating valuable stallions and selling valuable mares for other than

The Farmer of the Future.

The future farmer will subirrignte his land and defy drought as we'll as floods. He will become a scientific forester, and every farm will produce wood and lumber as well as wheat and apples. Women will work out doors as heartily as men-in fact, they will be the horticulturists and the truck gardeners. There will be closer relation between the producer and the consumer, ignoring horde of middle men who frequently waste more than Is destroyed by ignorant help and in- sect foes combined. Under the alli. ance with the school the farm will be valued not only for its gross weight of products, but for its poems md It's education.

Saving Corn.

The annual slump in hogs has come earlier than usual this year because corn maturcd early and the hogs ara~ being finished up with as little of it z<S possible. The light average weight rsr the hogs marketed indicates this, ana so does their quality, which is inferfcr-. Everywhere there seems to be dIsroa Eition to save corn. This Is ull riEnr as far as it relates to the econouIcmA use of 1t, but there may be false ecuna4. omy in corn as in everything else. Tie. man who rushes his pigs to market so1 save corn is fin all probability nracr- ticing false economy. He Is likely usg find that he could have marketed both pigs and corn in one car later on sxs better advantage. This early sIurxas may induce those who have not uorr4 keted their hogs to keep them b0ca- make them good and in the end do Ies- ter with them than if they shipped now. Unless something checks this fnYsc-. economy of corn that grain is going tos- ccr1e to market in tco liberal ouantsq- ties for the gccd or prices.

 There are certain lines of breeding found in the saddle horse register which can be relied upon to produce carriage horses. In Kentucky the

confronted with proof. set up another
howl but of different kind and tried
"a shift the responsibility by placing
the blame on the captain of police.
The police also ceased to deny that
gambling was going on. The News
published names and places and few
arrests were made. but conditions of
affairs were brought home to the min
