The periwig. which played SO impor-
tant a part in the toilet Of a man Of
fashion during part Of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, owed it's orr
gin to Louis XIV. OF France. When a
little boy Che succeeded to the throne
at I'VE years Of age) he possessed a
profusion Of remarkably beautiful
waving hair which fell In clustering
curls over his shoulders. The courtiers
initiated the boy king by having heads
Of false hair to initiate his natural
locks. and when Louis grew up he
adopted the periwig himself.
During the reign OF William and
Mary perlwigs were worn in exagger-
ated dimensions. and the beaux used
to comb their wigs in public with spe-
cial combs Of ivory and tortoise shell,
which became at last quite indlspensa-
bic to these fine gentlemen.

his grandfather. John Skinner Of

The Breeches Bible.

One of the books which biblioma-
niar handles reverently is the 'amous
Geneva Bible. better known as the
"Brpeches Bible" This name Is due
to the rendering of Genesis iii. I.
where Adam and Eve are said to have
"sewed fg tree leaves together and
made themselves breeches." This had
been the reading of the first English
Bible. Wyclitfe's version. but later
.translators had substituted the word
..aDron" for "breeches." and the Gene
va Bible reverted to the original. The
fact that only one edition of the Gene
va version contained this sentence
makes the limited number more pre-
cious to the book gaherer. The title
page Of this edition announces that 1t
was imprinted at London by the dep
uties of the Iueene's most excellent
ma ajestie" In 1890. The first edition
appeared In 1860, and for sixty years
this was the favorite Bible with the
people. who reluctantly laid 1t aside
for the authorized version In 1911.

DRINKING TINE
FOR HORSES

There Is Il popular idea that warm
horse should not be allowed to drink.
and. unlike great many other popu-
lar ideas, there Is Il little truth In 1t.
II you water a warm horse in the Or
dinury way, letting him drink all that
he will, you are likely to have foun-
dered horse on your hands. This Is
especially SO If at the time the horse Is
fatigued. Nevertheless 1t Is always
safe to allow him from six to ten swal-
lows, no matter how warm he Is. II
this be given on going into the stable
and he be allowed to stand and eat
hay for an hour and is then offered
as he would had none been given be-
fore
The danger is not in the first swal-
low. as we often hear 1t asserted, but
in the excessive quantities he will
drink If not restrained The most dan
gerous time to give horse a full draft
is when he has cooled down from ia
tiguing work and has partaken Of

1T was during his last appearance
at Niblo's Garden. in New York. At

a small quantity at time.
After long. continuous exertion the
system is greatly depleted of fluid.
Nature calls for Its replacement, and
this Is the cause. of thirst which is 80
intense that II the animal is not re.
strained at the time he may drink much
more than he needs.
The general custom. almost univer-
sally followed. Of giving the morning
meal before water Is not very Objec,
tionable either theoretically or prac-
tically. At this time there is no de-
pletion of fluid. Consequently the
horse Is not very thirsty and does not
drink rapidly or excessively and ap
parently very little evil results from
this method. However. the writer
much prefers that the horse should
have an opportunity to drink before
