About Ponies.
Ponies of various grades aud breed
ing are frequently found on the mar
ket and are usually bought for the use
OF children aud ladies'. The character
lstIcs distinguishing ponies from horses
are not easily described. but to the dis
corning eye the "earmarks" are per-
fectly evident ut glance. The princi-
pal distinguishing feature most gen.
orally accepted by authorities Is that of
height, pony being fourteen hands
or under. But there are dwarf horses
that do not have pony blood or char
acteristics that come within these lin
Its.
Other pony characteristics are deep
body and rounding barrel. heavily
muscled in thighs and quarters. Group

not dropping and width well carried
out. all of which the small horse does
not usually possess. The neck is usu-
ally short and heavy. though this Is not
a desirable quality. Ponies are essen
tally children's horses. and because of
this they must be kind and gentle In
disposition and with as much spirit as
is compatible for their use. There is
no special requirement for weight. the
limit being quite wide. They should
be straight line movers. and the more
knee and hook action they possess the
greater they will be appreciated and
the higher prices they will bring. other
things being equal. The Indian pony.

r HE work of removing the old soft
sandstone or east front of the
treasury building and replacing it with
new granite recalls to several old resi-
dents the story told how the site for
the building was selected
Tradition has it that Andrew Jack
son, who was then president of the
United States. appointed a commits
sion to select suitable ground for the
erection of a United States treasury
building, and that after the commits
sion had, after looking over several
tracts o. land, failed to reach a deci
sion as to which would be the best, the
president himself selected the site.

Big Force to Take Next Federal Census

The task of making the enumeration
OF the 90,O0O,000 people in the United
States, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico,
and in Guam, Samoa and the Panama
canal zone viii be one of enormous pro.
portions. 1t will be the most gigantic
work of enumeration that has ever
been attempted in this or any other
country, and 1t is intended to reach the
acme of correctness and thoroughness.
Not merely count and compilation
concerning the population alone, it
will include census of agriculture,
manufactures, mines and quarries
A census OF the Philippines will not
be included, as one was taken In 1903,
and 1t is doubted II the Philippine gov.
ernment would care to bear the cost
Of another enumeration SO soon.

TAKE TIME TO BE DAINTY.
little Touches Are the Main Point Of
Attractiveness.

Put ribbons through my corset COW
ers? Why. it takes too long. can't
spare that much time in the morning"
This was the answer OF a girl who
was envying the dainty appearance of
another girl. whose blue silk ribbons
in her corset cover were glimpsed
through her sheer shirtwaists.
The girl who complained she hadn't
time to be dainty probably devoted
hours to trifies that came to naught.
She possibly gossiped for Is minutes
here and there all through me day in a
manner that was not of advantage to
herself or her listener
She probably always found time for
lettering or reading some foolish book,
When a girl begins to think that the
cost OF daintiness is too high she is
beginning to lose her first point of
attractiveness.
1t is her right to be sweetly dressed,
and she could so organize her life into
the proper channel that she could
find a quarter of an hour to give her
self the chance to have nice things.
This ribbon in a corset cover is only
one OF the many little instances to
show that a girl is living up to all the
womanliness in her. She must take
time to be dainty.
