Horse Breeding to Type.

John Gilmer Speed. in tine Century.
Farmers. and others. for that matter. as
we'll. must breed to type. They must
know what kind of horses they wish to
produce and strive to that end. To do
this they should know what kind of ma
terial Is. at hand, and how it can be used.
Here is something that the United States
Department Of Agriculture should do.
And the War Department might also as
sist, for proper cavalry remounts are diff
ficult to secure. In European countries.
where great standing armies are main
tanned, there are not only governmental
breeding farms, but the farmers are en-
couraged to breed army horses by the
giving of prizes and by permitting gov
ing to stand to approved stock at merely
nominal fees. In Austria I have seen
whole regiment of cavalry mounted on
horses so true to type that it would take
study and acquaintance to tell one horse
from another. In Germany the govern
ment has been breeding for the cavalry
since the time of Frederick the Great,
and with most satisfactory results. In
these continental countries much enter
prise is shown in securing the best blood
that may be had in other countries, not
emitting the Desert of Arabia, whence
comes the best and purest equine blood in
all the world. In this matter of horse
breeding the Italians are not the least en-
terprising. nor. by the way, are the Ital-
ians by any means inferior in their horse
manship.

Gold or silver ornaments deliberately set

Rope necklaces in seed pearls revive an

have only three or four strings in the

GYMNA|UMs IN THE HOME
REASONS FOR FITTING UP A
ROOM FOR EXERCISE.
Simple Pieces Of Apparatus-Result
Of Keeping Ones Mind
on the Work.
I rom Suburban Life.


There are two reasons for having
gymnasium at home. especially if one
lives in suburban or country town and
30 does not have access to the gymnasi
ums conducted by the Y. NJ c. A. and
similar organizations. The first reason
is found in the fact that systematic ex
ercise is of undoubted value in creating
and maintaining condition of good
health. If il were merely a matter of ex
crcise, however. two or three simple
pieces Of apparatus would be sufficient for
most people. But the private gymnasium
has another reason for existence, in that 1t
"ffers endless opportunities for amuse-
ment and recreation at times when 1t is
impossible 10 indulge In out-of-door sports
II an entire room, possibly an attic
or the corner of the basement, can be
secured for the purpose, so much the
better Occasionally. in building now
plans definitely for room to be devoted
to gymnasium purposes. No matter how
limited the space however. it is still pos
sible TO use several pieces of apparatus
with pleasure and distinct benefit.
Mind and Muscle.
Ii should be understood that little phys
zeal improvement can be expected II no
appeal is made to the mind at the same
time The brain and the muscles must
coordinate in order to make systematic
exercise a success. 1t is said that If the
muscles of the arm are exercised for a
period daily. while the mind is fixed on
another matter. little muscular develop
ment will be noticed; while. IF the mind
is concentrated on the movements, the
results will prove astonishing. 1t is a

mistake, therefore, to exercise perfume
torily and without enthusiasm.
That is the reason why striking-bag
are so generally recommended and prove
SO popular. Nobody can exercise with a
striking-bag unless his mind is fixed on
what he is doing The great objection to
the ordinary form of striking-bag for
home use is that it disturbs the house
hold with the noise 1t creates. A num-
Der of designs are made now however,
to avoid this feature. One of these con-
sists of a metal disk which is adjust BILE
so that all the members of the family
can use 1t. and which makes little noise
1t is fastened to the wall by an arm, and
costs s. without the bag. Another appa-
ratus consists of a round. open platform
against which the bag strikes. This also
screws to the wall and is adjustable. Still
another arrangement consists of metal
pole. at the top of which the bag is
placed
Punching Bags and Weights.
Where room is very restricted, bag
may be obtained which has an elastic
floor attachment. so that 1t may be hung
in an open doorway and used without
the necessity of a foorform or disk.
Striking-bags may be obtained as low as
$1.JO One form of striking-bag occasion
ally seen is so arranged that it can be
attached to door and swung into a
closet out of sight when not in use.
For exercising purposes the chest weight
is essential: one giving the back and
loins. upper and direct chest and inter-

admirable background for color. Our blue

HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUBS FINE

 "The Crusaders" and "Fair Ellen" were splendidly sung by the Ansonia High School Glee club. last night. The club showed considerable improvement over last year, the work of the chorus being of . high order. The club was assisted by Miss Retta Macdonald, William II. Joy, of this city. and Henry Haugh, of Derby. All did well, several solos by Miss Macdonald being particu- larly effective. Mir Joy was at his best and he was repeatedly encored. The eantatas were given under the direction of E. Roswell Hawley, supervisor of music in the Ansonia schools, the ac- companist being Mrs Elmer Beardsley, of Stratford. MT Hawley conducted the chorus with skill, and was warmly complimented at the close for the man. ncr in which he has trained the singers. It is doubtful of there is another high school in the state the size of the one in this city which would attempt "The Crusades," and the manner in which the cantata was given reflects credit on Mir Hawley's work. He has gathered together a body of trained singers which many high schools in cities much larger than Ansonia cannot boast. MT Hawley is the organist and director at the New Milford Congregational church.

When this tube is in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imper- feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflam- nation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces,
