BaItimore's Horse Heaven.

From the New York Tribune.
 Baltimore is about to open its rest farm or fresh-air home for horses under the management of the Animal Refuge asso- ciation It is a charitable enterprise, as only the horses of poor cabmen and huchsters. who are unable to care for their animals when they become i'll, will be received at the farm. These men are forced to let their horses suffer, and of tentimes to sell them when they are unfit for work. When the horse of a poor owner becomes i'll now he has only to notify the Animal Refuge association, and for g a month his horse will be taken to the farm. where 1t can revel in clover and forget the hot and dusty streets and the rough cobblestones until it Is well.

American Hostesses in London.

From the Gentlewoman.
 There was a time in the Victorian era when the American hostess in Lon don was a rara avis, but with the strong societies which have been es- tablished during the last quarter of a century she has now become an inte- gar lpart of London society. The an- nual influx of America's beautiful wo- men from the United States is looked forward to with ever increasing inter- est as tending to tighten still further the bonds which bind the two greatest sections of the Anglo-Saxon race. May is the month that brings them, and great houses from royalty down imme- diately begin to revise their lists so as to include the more distinguished of our visitors from over the water Un- fortunately some of these visitors go back, but others stay to add fresh and piquant element to British social life
