THE HORSE STILL LOVED.

In spite of the absurd supposition
that the automobile and street motors
of any kind will make the horse neg
ligible quantity before long, the fact
is apparent that never in our history
was our noblest animal receiving more
care and attention, more sympathy
and love than at present. This is
shown in various ways.
The Boston Work Horse Parade
Association has its annual circular,
showing the work done by the associ-
alton in the last year and the plans
for the coming season. When the
association was first organized its
main object was to benefit the work
horse. The parades proved success
full, and last year the association decid-
ed to extend its work by adding a
stable competition, arguing that it
was of as much Importance that the
work horse be made comfortable in
his hours of rest as it was that he
should when at work about the streets.
This proved success, and this season
the number Of entries in the stable
competition is much larger than last
year. Another new feature is series
of free lectures on subjects related to
the care of horses, including stable
management, care of feet, shoeing,
driving and treatment of diseases.
These lectures are especially intended
for drivers, grooms, stable foremen
and owners of work horses. In order
to improve the condition of the poor
er class of horses the association had
appointed permanent agent, whose
duties will be to advise poor or ignor-
ant owners in matters pertaining to
the care oftheir horses. In deserving
cases aid will be extended by the as
sociation.
There never was time when we
did not pay special attention to the
horse as racer or means of pleasure
and show, for driving, riding and
fashionable coaching purposes. But
now love and concern for the horse
has extended specially to the draft
animal, the livery and cab steed. Last
fall Philadelphia had big and inter-
esting parade Of the horse of burden
of all kinds. The most popular book
the General Government ever publish
ed, and the most in demand today, is
what is known as the Horse Book"
The time may come when the horse
will be less used. But this will only
increase an affection for him, as he
will be luxury. 1t would be bless
ing for the automobile to displace the
present cab horse or some kind of mo-
tor the poor animals that drag ash
carts, garbage wagons and truck
wagons.
But the horse of beauty, for pleas
ure, exercise or war is never likely to
perish from the earth. h.-LGncaste, (Pa.)

PERIL OF THE CELLAR.

Underground cellars ought to be
done away with. They are relics of
dark age. More sickness originates
in them. physicians claim, than any
where else about the place. They
cannot be kept in sanitary condition
while vegetables are constantly decay
ing there. The place for cellar is
above ground and outside the dwell
ling. Leave the basement for the
furnace, the coal bin and a general
storeroom. An above. ground cellar
is more convenient in every way.
Your vegetables can be stored with
less than half the labor when you do
not have to go up and down stairs

trouble, while the underground one,
being difficult to get at, will be me-
elected nine times out of ten and allow
ed to become source of infection to
the family above it. hope theown-
ers of homes in the country will give
some earnest thought to this matter
and decide to build an above ground
cellar the coming spring.
Ventilation and temperature are
much more controllable in such
building than in the old-fashioned
underground cellar, which obliges the
housewife to use up SO much strength
in climbing stairs. Locate it conven-
lent to the kitchen, with which it
can be connected in winter by an in
closed passageway.
Ifa considerable number of potatoes
are stored in bins, little lime sprink-
led among them will help to prevent
decay and early sprouting.

doctor who Immediately asked, when
called to treat case of typhoid fever,
if there was decaying cabbage in the
cellar. There was. Keep the cellar

WILD wOOlNG.

There are many ways of going a
wooing. 1t is the custom of the abo-
riginal Australian to start out with the
predetermined purpose of capturing
wife much as he would on a hunting
excursion. He wanders about until
he finds maiden whom he thinks
will suit his special requirements, and
then he steals up behind her, knocks
her down and takes her home on his
shoulder.
When a young Eskimo boy has
killed his first polar bear unaided, and
thus given proof that he is capable Of
providing for a family, he sets forth
at night to get wife. The FIST girl
he can catch unawares he grasps and
attempts to carry her off to his hut.
The object of his violent affection
screams and scratches and bites until
she frees herself, when she immediate
ly takes to her heels.
The young wife seeker starts in
pursuit, and when he comes up with
his quarry again more scratches and
biting follow, and usually the girl
again succeeds in freeing herself. If
the suitor again overtakes the maiden
she becomes recopciled to her fate and
willingly accompanies the young Es-
kimo to his home as his wife.

BEE BREAD.

Do you know that the bees get
bread as well as honey from the flow
ers.
Watch closely some time, and you
will seethe whole performance. Yor
must keep your eyes wide open,
though, or it will be over before you
know it.
First, Miss Bee sucks up the pre-
cious drop of honey which the flower
has stored away for her. She always
knows just where to find it, too,
though each blossom has its own par
ticular kind of pantry. Then she
gathers her -four. This, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, is generally packed
in tiny boxes, with Sits in the side,
and Miss Bee has only to put in her
funny little feet and scrape out the
precious -four.
We call it pollen, but the name
does not matter. To Miss Bee it is
-four, and she packs it away carefully
in the wee baskets on her hind legs,
first moistening it with drop Of hon.
ey. When she has as much as she
can carry she flies back to the hive
and stores away her load for future
use. The bread made from this -four
requires neither raising nor baking.
The pollen grains are crushed,
soaked and kneaded with honey, and
the bread is ready for the baby bees,
who are the only ones that eat it.

A REMARKABIE RAILROAD.

One of the most remarkable engi-
neering feats of recent times is the
construction of the railroad from the
main land in Florida along the keys
to Key West. The city of Key West
is on the island of Key West, over I3o
miles from the main land, at the end
of a chain of islands known as the
Keys.
The engineers completed their sur
vey year ago, visiting all the islands
and measuring them. Work is now
in progress on the construction of the
road. The route which this railroad
will follow is described thus:
First, it will pass through nearly
twenty five miles of the great swamp
called the Everglades, then across
twenty miles of marshland to Key
Largo, so named because it is the
largest of the Keys, being about thirty
miles long. Thence it passes over
a half dozen smaller islands until it
reaches what is known as Bahia Hon
da, where the largest channel must
be crossed. From here to Key West
it goes over the Keys curiously known
as Ramrod, Cudjoe, Big Pine, Saddle
Bunch, and Boca Chica. The latter
island is separated from Key West by
only a few hundred feet of water.
In all no less than one hundred and
twenty miles of track must be laid
from the point where the line begins
on Key Largo to Key West and out
of this, forty miles must be built di-
rectly above the open sea. A number
of the Keys are protected from the
ocean storms by stretches OF reef
which secure them, but here there is
no such protection, and the railroad
will indeed be built upon the ocean
itself. Several other sounds are over
mile in length, while the engineers
have discovered that the depth of wa
ter which must be crossed, frequently
ranges to as much as thirty feet. In
fact, ocean steamships at times go
through some of the more important
passages. AS these waters are fire.
uuently disturbed by sudden and Sc
we're storms, much difficulty in build
ing bridges has been met with.
When the road is completed trains
from the north will carry passengers
and freight through to Key West !;
and then on by ocean ferries to Ha-
vana, Cuba. A person can then take
a through car from New York or St.
Louis to Havana.

AN AMAZING COINCIDENCE.

There were amazing condolences
in connection with inquests held on
two men at the London Hospital re-
Gently by Coroner Wynne E. Baxter.
Both men were named George Lee.
Both men were window cleaners.
Both were fatally injured by falling
from windows.
Both were taken to the London
Hospital.
Both accidents occurred at 3 o'clock
on Saturday afternoon.
Both men died on Sunday.
The cause of death in each case was
fracture of the skull.
The inquest on both men were held
on the same afternoon, by the same
coroner, and with the same jury.
The men were not related to one an
other.
One man was IS and the other Al
years old.

Interpret all your motives just as though
You looked on one whose aims you did not know.

Despise your cowardice condemn whatever
You note of falseness in you anywhere.
Defend not one defect that snames your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go by.
And then. with eyes unveiled to what you
lOathe-
To sins that with sweet charity you'd clothe-
Back to your self-walled tenements you'll go.
With tolerance for all who dwell below.
The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink,
Loves chain grow stronger by one mighty link.
When you, with "he' as substitute for ~
Have stood aside and watched yourself go by.

CHEEKY WORDS.

CHEEKY words cost little, but how
much good they do; how they drive
away melancholy, Danish gloom, and
alleviate pain The man who goes
about saying them is the worlds ben
efactor. Society is the better for his
living. He does more for his gener-
alton by the simple fact of his CHEEKY
disposition, and his habit of stirring
up the moody and imparting courage
to the forlorn, than can be done by a
hundred liberal men who have not a
genial way of dispensing their liber-
atty. Many time life hardly seems
worth living to the hard bestead, who
have found trouble and sorrow, to
whom the winds of fate have brought
loss and wreck, or who have parted
with their faith in humanity. At the
period when they can scarcely lift
their eyes from the ground, along
comes, with his smile, and his cordial
hand. and his look ofgenuine interest
one of the blessed souls whose errand
seems to be to uplift his fellows. He
does not say very much, nothing per-
haps which can be remembered or re-
corded, but he leaves an impression
of good. comradeship, of sympathy.
The man he meets is encouraged, and
passes on with renewed strength
to meet whatever there may be to en-
counter.
In the immortal Pilgrim S Progress
there are certain characters who al
ways enlist our pity, among them
Mr.. Dependency and Miss Much
Afraid. They have no outlook be-
yond the present disaster or the i'm
pending calamity. 1t is sorrowful to
watch their stumbling and delayed
progress, and to realize that they are
typical of a throng Of men and wo-
men handicapped by difidence or en-
numbered by hardships, SO that joy
Gus confidence is lacking to them. To
these persons the speaker of the CHEEKY
word is true missionary, brighten
ing the dark day, and giving them
moral and sometimes what is equiva-
lent to physical support.

STILL A HOPE LEFT

! The teacnIng OF the gospeI among
the poor and lowly is sometimes at
tended by unexpected results. One
jealous young missionary to the tene-
ments makes the following confession:
She had labored long and earnestly
to instill little Bible history into the
understanding of one particularly OBJ
durated old pagan woman, who promp.
tly forgot the few lessons she learned.
The difficulty of exciting her interest
seemed to be the principal one. Lit
eral readings and paraphrazes alike
failed to reach hersympathies. Final
ly one day the missionary put her
whole heart and gift of paraphrase
into recital of the Passion. To her
delight she saw that her listener was
aroused at last and showed genuine
emotion. The recital came to an end,
and there was an impressive pause.
The teacher waited for her pupil to
speak first, and presently the silence
was broken by the old woman, who re-
marked consolingly: "Ah, well, let
us hope it amt true. ."-Nea0 FORK

HOW LEGENDS GROW.

Osborn H. Oldroyd, the man who
runs on private account the Museum
of Lincoln Relics in Washington, and
has for 40 years devoted his energies

an interesting point in recent inter-
view regarding the growth of at arec-
