The Pacing Horse,

We have known of many animals
that have acquired the habit of pacing
because Of becoming sore forward. The
fore feet and legs do not assist in the
efforts Of propulsion, their office is
simply to hold up or support the fore
and heaviest part of the animal, and
as it must keep these fore feet out of
the way of the hind ones, a horse will
endeavor to do so in the most awk-
ward of ways at times, for when sore
that to its mind appears to lessen the
pain of action. 1t quite frequently
adopts the single foot action, gradually
progressing into that of pacing. 1t

ally free from sponginess. While it

after early peas, provided the seed is

A learned German scientist finds that

govt and toothache His name was
Menephtah. He was > feet 81 inches
tall, and died iii 1915 g. c.. at the age
of &C. He was high liver. fat and
bald-from which it might be inferred
that he was very bad man. taking the
best seat at the table as well as the
front seat at the theater. The chalky
degeneration of his organs indicates
govt. and cavities in his teeth show he
had toothache. \ man in his fix is sell
dom amiable. and his refusal to let the
Children of Israel go is not surprising.
He was cross and must have made life
a burden for his family. Had his health
been better and his blood vessels less
chalky he might have given Moses a
hearty send-off and have even loaned him
his auto. Who knows Baltimore Sun.

Nasted ROul Money.

In a recent speech at Peoria, II. H.
Gross. secretary of the Farmers Good
Road League and special agent for the
National Department of Agriculture to
study the question of highways, made
the following statement: In forty
years enough money has been thrown
away and sQuandered on the dirt roads
of Illinois to pay for crawling or mac
adamizing every foot of highway in
the State" He went on further to
state that as good, hard roads could
be built on the black land in the corn
belt of Illinois as in Massachusetts, or
in any other State, and at a moderate
annual expense to the landowners of
the State, possibly not exceeding their
present annual tax for road and bridge
purposes.

Egg Substitutes

Many egg substitutes are made, some
from skim milk, some from mixtures Of
animal or vegetable fats, albumen,
starch or flour, cOloring matter ana a
leavening powder. in addition to tie
mineral waters similar to those found
in the egg. Other egg substitutes are
little more than starch, colored with
some yellow substance. Of course, such
products can not be made to replace
fresh eggs, in that they do not contain
much heterogeneous matter, or fat. Pro
ducts made from them may be very
harmful

Fisherman Caught Beer.

When John Starr, an old Gloucester
Mass, shad fisherman. made the last
haul of his gill net the other day, he
found it very hard work, with all the
signs of big game present. Sure that
he had caught prize anchor or some
other valuable asset, he used all due
precaution. AS the net neared the sur
face Starr began to fear he had caught
a sea serpent, or some other ugly mon
ster of the deep. and he was wondering
what TO do with i when two kegs of
beer bobbed up. The fisherman man
aged to get one of the kegs into his boat,
but the other got away from him. His
friends helped him investigate, and they
found that the beer was still fresh and
fOamy.
