1t can come from cold, exposure to
draft, from getting wet feet or wear
ing wet or damp clothing. It causes
acute suffering, and if allowed to be-
come chronic it may permanently dis
able the sufferer. The way to secure
quickest relief is to redden the skin
over the painful part by rubbing with
flesh brush or piece of flannel rag,
and then apply ST. JACOBS OIL by
gentle friction with the hand.

Gyroscope and Bicycle.

One of the most wonderful instru.
ments in the world is the gyroscope.
Some of the facts in connection with
this scientific toy have been the cause
of much investigation and study
among men of science. A
bicycle really consists of two gyro-
scope-like wheels. When these are in
rapid rotation it requires considerable
force to change the direction of either
axle. But that is the same thing as
saying that it requires considerable
force to tilt either wheel, and this.
combined! with the onward motion, is
the reason that the rider has no trou-
BILE in balancing himself and avoiding
a fall to either right or left. So you
see that the gyroscopic principle is of
great Importance in bicycles. In fact.
there could be no real bicycles if it
were not for this principle.-From j.
F. Springer's '"The Gyroscope" in st.
Nicholas.

SOUNDNESS OF THE SIRE AND
DAM Is IMPORTANT ~:
Restrictions Wisconsn's Indicate Which
Should Dsqualify Animals for Breeding Purposes.

1t pays the farmer to raise horses,
but he is robbing himself of larger
profit and doing serious wrong to
the future quality of horses and the
standards of horse breeding when he
consents either to use an inferior stall
lion or one afflicted with any transmits
sible disease or defect, or a mare
which is not perfectly sound.
Wisconsin has taken a great ad-
vance step in the matter of horse
breeding, in 1905 passing a law that
all public service stations must be
registered, and placing reasonably
high requirements upon thosese eligible
to such registration. Last year. they
went a step farther and definitely : de,
fined the defects and diseases which
would disqualify an animal from regis:
tration, it having. been found impos.
sible under the law Of 1906 to retire
unsound horses, except il most fla

the sotheraeye diseases mentioned is.
hereditary beyond question and no
stallion or mare so affected should be
employed for breeding purposes.
Pulmonary emphysema (heaves or
broken. wind) is a common disease,
and especially in those districts whero
clover hay is fed to horses. The feed.
ing of coarse, bulky, dusty food or fod.
der that has become moldy is most
likely TO induce heaves, but, in each in
stance where the disease appears, it
may be taken as likely that the ami
NAL attacked inherited susceptible
ity to that trouble from an affected
sire or dam. 1t would be well were
all horses affected with heaves re-
tired from our breeding operations,
and similar course should be adopted
ed regarding those affected with any
form of ".chorea."
. Wisconsin's law also plainly stipu-
lates that stations having unsound-
ness duplicating the limbs and joints
shall not be licensed for public serv.
ice. Bone SPAWN, ringbone and side
bone are VIGOROUSLY hereditary, and all
horse breeders should become prof.
cient in detecting the presence of
these unsoundnesses. Bog spawn
may be taken as the evidence of an
undesirable, unsound conformation Of
the hook joint and when lameness is
present often is associated with bone
SPAWN. The hook is a most important
joint and should be sound in every re.
spect in sires and dams expected to
produce serviceable animals for hard
work. For this reason conformation
should be taken into account in choos-
ing breeding animals and those hav-
ing DOGGY" hooks, "sickle" hooks, or
such as are known as "curby hooks"
should be rejected. A curb affecting
sound, we'll formed hook is not al
ways serious, but, If it be associated
with CURLY formation of the sickle
order, It is most Objectionable fea-
ture and should be so considered.
Sound feet are an absolute necessity
| for every horse and any stallion or
mare afflicted with navicular disease
will be likely to- transmit foot weak
ness or an undesirable conformation
liable to induce foot disease, such as
navicular trouble.
Unsoundness may spring from eth
err sire or dam, hence 1t is imperative
that both sire and dam should be
| sound, and we never can produce
sound horses by retiring unsound stall
lions but continuing to employ un.
sound mares in our breeding opera
tions. Let every owner of an unsound
mare remember that he is retarding
progress in horse breeding If he
breeds from such an animal, and at
the same time he is missing the
f! profits that might be obtained from
the employment of sound, higher

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician
is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible.
II practise from seven to eight hours
day and study Harmony two hours"
writes a Mich. music student Last
September 1 was so nervous could
only practise few minutes at a time,
and mother Said would have to drop
my music for a year.
''This was terribly discouraging as
I couldn't bear the thought of losing
whole year Of study. Becoming con-
vinced that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum so highly spoken OF, de-.
cided would test it for while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and l thought I had never
tasted such delicious drink We
drank Postum every morning instead
Of coffee, and by November felt more
like myself than for years, and was
ready to resume my music.
Il now practise as usual, co my
studying and when my days work is
finished am not any more nervous
than when began.
II cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practise half
day. My father is a physician and
recommends Postum to his patients.
Words cannot express my appreciation
for this most valuable health bever-
age, and experience has proven it's
superiority over all Others" There's

incurable, the optic nerve and retina

HUMAN FACE IN
BALL OF FIRE


New York, Nov 24-Mrs. Caroline

farm in MulIica township, n. j..
has just written a long letter, offer
ing her deep thanks to whoever can
tell what she saw outside her VIM
doy, flying over her turnip field on
the night of November IA 1t was
Mrs. Pierce who saw it, not her son.
She says in her letter that she is
rs years old, hoping that she is "of
sound mind, and believing the same.
Being a Christian, she continues, ev-
cry word that she writes is of purest
truth.
Her son left her alone in the house
that night, going to Egg Harbor. At
8 o'clock she started to retire She
found her bedroom lighted, though
there was no lamp in it. She saw
through her window bright light
This she thought was made by the
burning of her neighbours house.
This was not the case Presently
she saw a ball Of fire rise out of the
distance and float toward her win
dow. 1t wandered about over her
turnip field, coming so close to her
window that she cried aloud. The
ball of fire finally arose and disap-
peared
Mrs. Pierce noticed that the ball of
fire was in the shape of face, round
like the moons. The ears were long,
and lay close to the face The eyes
were sunken and the nose and mouth
