The Breaches Bible.

One of the books which a biblioma-
MAC handles reverently is the famous
Geneva Bible. better known as the
"Breeches Bible" This name is due
to the rendering of Genesis Ill. Z,
where Adam and Eve are said to have
''sewed tg tree leaves together and
made themselves breeches." This had
been the reading Of the first English
Bible. Wycliffe's version. but later
translators had substituted the word
apron 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 gatherer. The title
page of this edition announces that 1t
was imprinted at London by the dep
uties of the queene's most excellent
majestic In 1890 The first edition
appeared 10 1860. and for sixty years
this was the favorite Bible with the
people. who reluctantly laid 1t aside
for the authorized version In 1911.

The Chinese STAGE.

The Chinese present their plays on a
bare platform. without scenery. says a
writer in Everybody's Magazine. So
probably did the lord chamberlain's
servants of the Globe theater. they
who created" Shakespeare's parts. In
the old Chinese theaters Of San Fran
cisco tourists and Chinese dignitaries
used to sit on the side edges of the
stage. so close to the actors that
have seen tragedian in one of his
most solemn passages step over the
legs of spectator. Just so. we are
informed, sat the dignitaries and not
abilities who attended the Globe In
Shakespeare's time. No woman treads
the boards of China. We know that
the parts Of Ophelia. Portia, Rosalind
all Shakespeare's galaxy Of immor-
tai women-were created" by boys.
The Chinese actors are low caste. so
low that even the lowest of the spec
tators despise them. In the days of
Shakespeare the English actor was a
brother to thieves and tinkers. being
unworthy of Christian burial. The
actors of the Globe company lived to-
gether in the basement Of the theater.
Just so live the actors of the Doyers
street company. in New York. and so
lived the Jackson aud Washington
street companies In the old days OF
Chinatown. San Francisco.

TANNING A BIRD.
Teaching a Feathered Pet to Trust
You Is Not Difficult

No creature is more jealous or sensi.
tive than bird. 1t is easy, however,
to win the heart Of almost any bird
and that without starving him or max.
ing him think he has mastered you
Simply talk to him a good deal.
Place his cage near you on your desk
or work table, and retain his choicest
dainty to give to him with your own
fingers. Let him know that he can
never have that particular thing unless
he takes it from you, and he will soon
learn, If you are patient and do not
discomfort him by fixing your eyes
upon him.
After this he will more readily take
it from your lips. and then when you
let him out Of his cage, after the first
excitement is over, he will come to you
especially If you have a call to which
you have accustomed him. and accept
the dainty from you while free.
AS soon as he becomes really con
vinced that you will not hurt him or
try to catch him or interfere in any
way with his liberty he will give way
to his boundless curiosity about you
He will pull your hair, pick at your
eyes and give you as much of his com
pany as you desire.-New York Press.

A Lost Opportunity.

The father of the late Benoit Con-
slant Coquelin. the great French actor,
was baker. and young Coquelin was
brought up to the trade. At thirteen,

the stage an inclination which his fla.

had made his way into general favor

''that is the tree was thinking about"
and it was only with the greatest diff

THE DRAFT
HORSE TYPE

An authority in the Breeders Ga.
zette, Chicago. writes a. follows:
draft horse is valued solely for his
utility. IL is true good looks increase
his usefulness in all lines of commerce
where advertising is needed. but the
great traffic mover of the world that
delivers the railroads burdens at each
end of the route pays his way In pow
er. The horse that can move the most
freight In a lifetime is sought by every
buyer. but such qualities cannot be
infaliibiy indicated by any market
test. They must be judged by APP
pearances. The buying of a horse Is
the work OF a moment A few mo-
ments test shows If he is sound and
a worker, but slavery In the harness
proves definitely what horse will do.
Thus It happens that the draft
horses change hands on the strength
OF their appearances, with no other
possible guaranty Of service ability.
And the most beautiful horse is the
highest priced. not SO much for his
quality as an adornment to any ones
premises as because strength goes
with beauty. 1t may actually be that
symmetry and beauty are specific at
tributes inseparable from utility In a
draft horse. Ii is far more likely that
1.-THE admiration of strength. endurance
and character in horse1esh has attach
ed itself to the details of form that

full qualities. Certain il is that every
man who buys draft horses has a
luminous mental picture of what he
wants, and nothing else looks good TO
him.
The ideals of different men of ex-
perience are so notably similar that
the accuracy of their Judgment allows
Of little doubt. Users of horses have
fixed breeders ideals, SO that breed
types have been nodded after market
requirements So universally is the
type adhered to In market selections

Press.I
Mrs. Marsden was away. the cook
gone without notice. and Helen for the
first time in her pampered life was
obliged to get supper. And Ned was
coming that very evening to have a
talk with her father about something.
In due time the meal was ready. all
but the tea. She packed the filled plat
ter and dishes away into the warming
oven, put about cupful Of tea into
the teapot-father liked strong tea
and. though the water hadn't reached
the boiling point yet. she really couldn't
afford TO wait. so she poured 1t on,
turned the flame of the gas stove low
and buried up TO her room to arrange
her toilet suitably for Ned's reception.

at the supper table. Father didn't say
much and didn't seem TO have any APP

what they eat.
And then came the solemn moment
when father called her into the library.
where he and Ned had been closeted
for the last half hour.
Father drew her into his arms, look
ed tenderly at her and planted prick
ly kiss on her mouth. The symptoms
were all favorable. and in great relief
Helen threw her arms around her ia
theirs neck Thus they stood for a
minute or two In silent, loving en-

that there is "a charmed circle INSIDE

A good draft horse is good farm
horse either to wear out In the field or
10 sell when mature. He is always a
money maker. His career produces
fewer sparks than are produced by
the fire and dash OF the occasional
light horse wonder He is never so dis
nal a failure as the mediocre small
horse that can go neither high nor
fast. He travels a steady road be-
tween so far as prices go. and the bal
ance of trade leaves him far in the
lead as n profit yielder from farm
mares.
Mares that are not of heavy type nor
bred to draft stations are preferred by
many for farm work. but not by those
who count on their colts to pay their
way at heavy work while growing into
salable form. Farmers with heavy
steady work now generally try to Sc
cure drafty horses even when farm
work is the sole object. Prices for sur
plus stock supply additional incentive
to do farm work with drafters when
producing mares are maintained for
the purpose.
inexperienced men have missed the
draft type In many cases through
wrong selection or light feeding and
are disappointed in results. They won
der why buyers do not gloat over the
big horse of which they are 50 proud
and offer but moderate sum for the
little shapely chunk. They simply
have missed the type. A horse is Ell
Their a draft horse or he is not. Those
on the ragged edge Of draft horsedom
are out Of bounds when high prices are
distributed.
To class as a drafter horse must
be big So general is the failure Of
well bred colts to attain sufficient size
that this is the commonest complaint
Of buyers But with size to weigh
1000 pounds or more when fat. buyers
demand a wide. deep chest. a strong
short back. close coupling and full
deep barrel These are the things that
indicate bodily vigor. A horse so en-

hard footing.
With these prime essentials buyers
want wide. full, moderately level

REPORT OF NATIONAL CON-

(Cont inued from Page Nine.)

Finally the conservation of our re-
sources is an immediate and vital con-
Germ. Our welfare depends on conser-
walton. The pressing need is for II
general plan under which citizens,
states and nation may unite in an ef-
fort to achieve this great end. The
lack of cooperation between the states
themselves. between the states and the
nation and between the agencies Of
the national government is n potent
cause of the neglect of conservation
among the people. An organization
through which all agencies, state. ma
tional. municipal, associate and indi-
vidual. may unite In a common effort
to conserve the foundations of our
prosperity is Indispensable to the well
fare, and progress of the nation. To
that end the immediate creation of a
national agency is essential.
