Savage Sense of Humor.

There are whole people who cannot
laugh. When some Of the Veddas of
Ceylon were asked why none of their
people ever laugh they solemnly replied
that they never see anything to laugh
at. On the other hand. some savages
appear to have a more robust sense of
humor than their civilized brethren.
DR.. Livingstone tells Of an African
tribe who. when dressed in clothes fer
the first time. rolled about on the
ground in uncomfortable fits of laugh
ter" and spoiled their clothes. If they
had but known what clothes would
cost them!-LondOn Chronicle.

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
liable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and we'll set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck. which gives it free mo-
ton and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, a little
prominent and the eyelid fine and thin.
The ear should be small and erect and
quick in motion. The lop ear indicates
dullness and stubbornness. When too
far back there is a leaning to mischief.

can comfortably do without; under
clothes or outer wearing apparel. We
do not doubt that the poor of Hatties-

this winter if our young men would
take the thought to do this. And we
do not doubt their willingness. The
only hindrance to their good works is
their thoughtlessness. WON'T YOU
THINK AND DO IT RIGHT NOW?
All who can will please send their
contributions to my residence, S66
Main street. Those who cannot will
please call Cumberland phone 20, CIV
ing their name and address, and The
Daughters will themselves make the
collection.
The Daughters would like to begin
their distributions early Thursday
morning. They therefore need all the
time they can spare, to get ready.
They would ask therefore, that you
make your contributions as soon as
possible. RIGHT NOW is the best
time. Especially if we are to call for
your contribution, please give us
carly notice.
