RELIEF FOR AGED HORSES
Effective Efforts Put Forth TO Secure
Humane Treatment for Friend
Of Man.

One Of the pleasant signs OF the
times is the growing disposition, man
ifested in many quarters and through
many agencies to remember the an
cient proverb. that "a merciful man
will be merciful to his beast"
In its efforts to bring about the hui
name disposal Of old or wornout
horses the Boston work horse parade
association is meeting with encour-
aging success. the Globe OF that city
says, and 1t believes that disabled or
superannuated horses. especially such
as are owned by large concerns and
by city governments. ought not to be
sold.
Many Of the larger corporations
never sell an old or wornout horse;
others see that they fall into good
hands when they dispose Of them. and
stlli others graduate their horses to
lighter work as equine old age comes
on.
There is an old-age pension scheme
for horses in this country. In several
European countries the problem is
solved by eating the horse-a more
compassionate method Of treating
him than keeping him at work until
he drops In his tracks. Il that am
cruel am yet merciful." said the Moor
of Venice.

Giovanni Crosse. Sicilian actor Of

Of a peculiar story, says the Florence
correspondent Of the London Express.
He was playing one Of his flercest
parts, where he had to stab his enemy
with a dagger. Suddenly, in the heat
Of his passion, Grasso let the weapon
slip out Of hand. II alIghted in the
pit on a mans head, cutting It slightly.
An indignant member OF the audi
ence flung the knife back to the stage,
where 1t was dexterously caught BY
Grasso. Raising II aloft in his hand.
sud az II 1t we're accursed, Grasso
cmashed 1t in two. and then stamped
upon It.
Then. with swift bound, Grasso
was in the pit beside the injured man.
The next minute he had climbed back
to the boards. with the victim In bis
arms.
After settling him In chair, Grasso
threw himself on his knees and began
long entreaty for forgiveness. This
was readily granted by the much en-
barrassed playgoer. who on his side
begged to be allowed to return to his
seat.
But this WAS not 70 be until Grasro'
weeping copiously, had bestowed no
fewer tAan so resounding kisses on
the mans blushing cheeks.
The action was greeted with loud
cheers. and after Grasso had grace
fully bowed his thanks, the play was
resumed and successfully concluded.

African Body of Fund Can Supply
World for Century.

London.-All the preliminary ar
rangements have now been completed
for the working of great soda lake
in the British East Africa protecto-
rate, known as Lake Magadi.
This lake was discovered in 1903.
1t has been surveyed by government
officers and by private surveyors. Its
area is so square miles and it has
been estimated to contain about 40,-
900 900 tons of soda--in other words,
according to the present rate of con-
sumption 1t is capable of supplying the
worlds demand for that article for
over 100 years.
To facilitate the working of the soda
deposits tramway will be laid over
the surface of the lake which will act
as a feeder to q branch line of the

Scald Your Milk Vessels.

=, Above all things a dairyman should
be cleanly in his work and see to it
day in and day out that every vessel
into which milk goes is clean. Scald-
ing milk vessels and summing them
well before using will not only kill
bacteria that causes milk to sour but
the same treatment reduces the
chances for disease germs to enter
the milk.
For the same reason, allowing cows
to drink from unwholesome water may
result in disease germs in the milk.
They should not be allowed to drink
water from any questionable source.
Spray Your Cows.
When COWS come in from their pas
lures in the evening as a general
thing at this season of the year they
are almost covered with flies. How
many Oregon farmers or dairymen
ever thought that the cows should be
sprayed in order to relieve them from
the flies?

music of the great battle hymn. The
technique of the next dance seems
too complicated to be described in de-
tail. 1t begins with six steps forward
as in a march, beginning with one
foot. and then repeating the same.
starting with the other foot. After
this follow numerous figures adapt
ing themselves to the music. The
partners frequently change hands;
there are swings to the right and to
the left, and repetitions of the march.
The figures seem to be easily
learned and with the help of the
dancing master it was executed with
good enthusiasm in several quarters
in Paris. 1t is now proposed to teach
the school children this dance. and
by next year the young generation
should be able to teach their elders
how to swing to the time of the great
national song.
