HORSE TROUBLES.

Capped Hock-Practicaiiy all swellings
on the point OF the hook are called
capped hook" The trouble Is usually
due to some kind OF a bruise, or the
swelling may be due to an Injury to the
skin and subcutaneous tissue alone. When
The skin alone is involved 1t puts on pres
sure. III the tendon II injured, 1t is hard.
1t rarely causes lameness.
Treatment-In the early stages cold APP
plications should be made. Follow this
with any of the well known blisters. If
the swelling feels soft it should be opened
arid the fluid allowed to escape.
!, Sidebones-Dr. McAdree says that side
bones should not be COMPOUNDED with ring
bones. The sidebone is just above the
heel of the horse. 1t is a mere cartilage.
1t is put into the heel to give s~pringiness,
TO saw Inflammation there when the horse
works and travels. On low heels n es-
pecially on heavy horses, they put a
good lea of weight on the heels; they
get feverish there and Inflammation sets
in. These cartilages harden n become
zone in the effort of nature to mend up
the little strain or make good the work
OF Inflammation there, and when they are
bony and hard you have a horse that to
some extent will get sore as he works,
You can see 1t in the gait and o can
find 1t when you take hold of those car
tilgges n try to move them.
Treatment-Most veterinarians use a
blister and counter-irritation. Any Of the
blisters suggested for, SPAWN, splints OF
ringbone will prove effective.

Lord Kitchener and the Coins.

Lord Kitchener is looked upon as a
stern man, but he has a sense of hu-
NOR. One day, when a pompous indi-
vidual was claiming old friendship
with him on the plea that their fami-
lies were friends two generations ago,
Lord Kitchener said, with a twinkle in
his eye: IF your grandfather lived
and worked with mine, they must have
been selling tea in the same shop!",
Another time, in an up-country church,
seeing the moment of the collection ap-
preaching, ne tool out half-a-crown
and put 1t on the seat before him. A
certain millionaire, who was in the
same pew, SYSTEMATICALLY o out a
piece of gold. Lord Kitchener then
as II ashamed-took out another piece
OF silver, and the millionaire took out
another Of gold. This went on till there
were six pieces, Of money before each
man. At this moment the plate came
round, and the millionaire put in his
six gold coins, whereupon Lord Kitch-
enc quietly put five of his back into
his pocket, and dropped In his original
piece!

BABY HORRIBLY BURNED

my baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the f~rying-pan full of
boiling grease was upset and 1t went

Some N wiped the scald with a tow
ell, pulling the entire skin off. We took
her to a doctor. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff to put on. But
1t all festered and l thought the baby
was disfgured for life. I used about
three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and
1t was wonderful how It healed. In
about FIVE weeks it was better and
there wasn't a mark to tell where the
scald had been. Her skin Is just like

From the New FORK World.
Joseph ~Caccavajo, a consulting engineer
for a realty company, has added to that
merry game of figures which consists in
estimating future populations Of New
York.
BY 1920, this expert believes, we are to
be a city of 1900 600. This is a million
more h the telephone engineers put
into their recent forecast, and more than
a million less than the Federation of
churches counts upon. 1t Is permitted to
prophets thus to differ. Mr.. Caccavajo
goes ahead and gives US $500, 900 people in
1880, about 13, 10000 in 1910 and 10, ESQ, 900 in
1850.
These figures may or may not be veri-
fed in time. Rates of city growth are
elusive factors. Somebody will live to see
how Mr.. Caccavaio's tables come out.
The fact Of vital present interest is that
length and breadth as a consolidated city,
it's growing pains are felt at their worst
not at its expanding residence boundaries,
but right in the heart of the old city.
According to Mr.. Caccavajo, this bor-
ough will lose in population after 1880.
But it will not lose In business. There
still will be the rush hours of multi
tudes coming to work in the morning and
going home at night. What the engineer
counts upon is a multiplication of subway
transit systems into some sort of proper
ton to the traffic demands. Such a null
t~iplication any doctor knows, is the sole
remedy. Unless 1t Is FASTENED beyond
present signs, we fear the worst for Mr..
C~accavajo's figures.

The Real France.

II YOU wish to see the France that
\ once was and the France that is today
. outside of Paris, says a writer in the
BOokman, come with me to Rouen, that
beautiful old city on h Seine. 1t is
only a few hours from Paris on the
south and from LIE Havre or the north.
Do not, like most travellers, break your
tourney there for only half a day; but
come and settle down for some weeks
in a quiet hosiery on the Rue des
Carmes. The place is rather dingy and
uninviting when you view 1t from the
street, but after you pass through its
broad archway and cross q courtyard
laid with flagstones in the good old
fashion, you will enter a lovely green
garden lying i'm the very heart of the
hotel, with turf-like velvet having a
sweet repose about II worth not merely
a cycle of Cathay, but infinite cycles
OF the raucous, harfot-city, Paris. Your
room will look out upon this stretch of
turf. You viii hear not noises in the
morning. You can have your dejeuner
brought to you there at any hour that
you please; and when you like you can
sally forth to haner In the sunshine
which filters softly down upon the me-
diaeval streets of Rouen itself.
The city has something OF the early
10th century about It. It has much
more of the 18th and 18th centuries,
~ BAOA tSoS ~ uSAA~ ~ SAAS WAN
its fretted ~stonework, dark with time,
takes you back to the reign of Philippe
Auguste, who expelled the half-hearted
troops OF King John, OF England, about
the time when the English barons
forced that king to set his seal to Mag
ma Charta and then to hasten away
from Runnimede with livid face, gnaw-
ing his nails to the quick and ~snarling
blasphem1es. What a wonderful blend
Of history and fiction is linked with
this old city. Here the Burgundians
and the FrenIb commended; here the
French and English fought; here Je-
anne dare was tried, condemned and
burned after suffering indescribable in
dignity and outrage. Here, too, in our
" time the tramp of German soldiery
has been heard along the streets while
the people looked through their closed
shutters at the stolid Teutons, whose
helmets streamed up the Rue Jeanne
dare to dispense in little splashes OF
steel among the houses whose owners
were compelled to shelter them.

An article clipped from another pa
per recently appeared In Il columns
In which the name Of a w~ell-known
chemist and pure-food authority was
used In a way that might lead N to
suppose that he had condemned Calu-
met Baking Powder. We are informed
that this is not the fact, and that the
truth in regard to the exposition
award given the Calumet is as fol-
lows:
When the Worlds Pure Food Ex-
position of 1907 was organized, a Com
mission on Tests, consisting Of twelve
most eminent scientists Chemists,
Psychologists and physicians) was APP
pointed which had entire control of
the granting of awards.
The Commission on Tests directed
the chemists as to the nature and ex
tent Of the tests to be applied in the
case Of each particular product. The
reports made by the chemists were the
basis of facts upon which the Commits
sion granted the awards. Every pos
sible safeguard was placed about the
granting Of awards to prevent crook
edness.
Under these circumstances the Calu-
met Baking Powder Company feels
Justly proud of having received the
highest award for Calumet Baking
Powder

came a quietly dressed lady whom none
Of them knew. When they were all
assembled, Mr.. Asquith addressed the
leader Of the deputation: II suppose
you are willing to accept responsibility
for the good behavior of all these la
dies? ?" he said. Certainly" replied the
chief. But" she added,
pointing to the quietly dressed woman
who was looking on at the scene, Il
cannot make myself responsible for
that lady, as 1 do not know her" "Oh,"
replied the premier, with a smile. Il
think I may accept responsibility for
her. She is my wife" After that the
deputation got through their business
as quickly as possible.

CoNGENIAL WORK


And Strength to Perform 1t.
A person in good health Is likely to
have a genial disposition, ambition, and
enjoy work.
On the other hand, If the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong food,
work becomes drudgery.
Until recently" writes a Washing
ton girl, II was a railroad stenog-
rapher, which means full work every
day.
Like many other girls alone in a
large city, 1 lived at a boarding house.
For breakfast it was mush, greasy
meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
After a few months Of this diet I
used to feel sleepy and heavy In the
mornings. Ny work seemed a terrible
effort, and l thought the work was to
blame-too arduous.
AT home l had heard my father
speak Of q young fellow who went long
distances in the cold on Grape-Nuts
and cream and nothing more for break
fast.
II concluded If 1t would tide him
over a mornings heavy work, it might
help me, SO on my way home n night
l bought a package and next morning
I had Grape-Nuts and milk for break
fast.
II stuck to Grape-Nuts. and in
less than two weeks l noticed improve
ment. l can't just tell how well l felt,
but 1 remember / used to walk the
IL blocks to business and knew how
good 1t was simply to live.
"As to my ~work-well, did you ever
feel the delight Of having congenial
work and the strength to perform 1t?
That's how 1 felt. l truly believe
there's life and yigor in every grain Of
Grape-Nuts."

SONG.

Above the edge Of dark appear the lances

Along the mountain ridges clear his rosy
heralds run;
The vapors down the valley go
Lik broken armies, dark and low.
Look up, my heart, from every hill
In folds OF rose and daffodil
The sunrise banners fiow.
o fly away on silent wing, we boding owls
Of night!
o Welcome little birds that sing the CON-
ing of light!

. The golden bud within the blue;
And every morning seems to say:
There's something happy on the way,
n God sends love to you!"

Why,

Hubert Henry Davies, the playwright,
who has spent much time in London. tells
of an amusing interview between the own
err OF a publication In the British capital,
whereof George Bernard Shaw had been
the dramatic critic, and Max ,Beerbohm,
on the occasion of the latter's assumption
Of the duties laid Town by G. B.. s.
The owner advised Max OF the salary
that had been paid George Bernard. OBJ
serving at the same time:
Being comparatively inexperienced,
you, Mr.. Beerbohm, cannot, Of course, ex-
pect so much"
"Oh yes. I shall!' hastily i~nterposed
Max. Indeed, l shall expect more! Shaw
knows the drama so thoroughly that 1t is
an easy matter for him to write OF it,
whereas 1, knowing nothing whatever
about it. shall find it dreadfully hard
work."

Mrs. Nancy C. Bush, postmaster at
Charlotte, VT, has just celebrated her
18th birthday. She has been in the
postal service for 38 years, beginning
as a telegraph operator and assistant
postmaster. In response to a petition
signed by almost every inhabitant of
Charlotte, President Grant appointed
her postmaster in 1875. Her Office is
said to be a model of neatness and her
accounts always accurate to the last
cent. She has never had a clerk and
she superintends n substation and
two carriers, besides attending to an
extensive money order business and
the regular duties of postmaster.
