Horses For MAddinns.

An old fashioned man who wished
to hire team for the afternoon saw
a nice pair of bays which he thought
be would like to drive.
Cant let you have them" said the
liveryman- They are wedding
horses"
Whats thatT asked the innocent
pleasure seeker
Horses that won't shy at old shoes
and showers of rice Some horses
seem prejudiced against matrimony.
Anyhow, they lose their temper If they
happen to be hit by any Of the good
luck emblems that are fred after a
bridal couple and run away If they
get half chance. Every livery sta
bic, however, keeps two or more
horses who take more cheerful view
of the welded state. Those bays are
that kind. They are slated to head a
wedding procession for tonight and
are resting up for the job" New York

A FASCINATING SPORT.

UVy0
Who Have Ever Tried It.
Flying is a sport that truly exem-
plifes one of the greatest Darwinian
theories. Only the fittest survive. 1t
taxes ones physical resources. It
makes tremendous demands upon
ones nervous assets. 1t sharpens
ones intellc1 t. 1t develops ones fac
ulty of judgment. 1t demands the
very best a man Of the best type can
bring to it. The better the man, the
better the aviation sportsman. For
this very reason the sport has attract
ed men of the finest type that have
ever INDUCED in sport. It is for this
very reason that the world has been
amazed at the high intellectual type
Of human that has embarked in this
activity. For this reason / call it the
kingliest of sports.
No one who has ever flown an aero
plane can be induced to abandon Il
utterly. The craving to fly will sur
vive with the man who has thrilled in
response to the sensation of driving
his own craft. The strange, wild, al
most uncanny, exhilaration Of rushing
through the air like bird cannot be
put into words by clumsy architect
of sentences like the present writer.

HOW. TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND.

Do you want to know how to pre-
serve a husband? First be careful
In your selection. Do not choose
one who is too young, and take only
such varieties as have been reared in
good moral atmosphere. When
once the selection has been made let
the past remain forever settled and
give the entire thought to the future
Some insist on keeping the husband
in pickle, while others seem to pre-
fer hot water. 1t does not seem to
be generally known that even poor
varieties may be made sweet, tender
and good by garnishing them with
patience, smiles and affection. They
should then be wrapped in a mantle
of charity and kept warm with a
steady fire of devotion. Thus treated,
they will keep for years as good as
when first selected. Sometimes they
improve with age.-Exchange.

that all spots will have vanished. Too
high polish will not appear if wiped
with coarse dry towels as each piece
emerges from the bath.
You should make it point never
to leave a lot of silver to dry by
draining, and let the water collect on
other sections, thus losing the clean
look that is supposed to be supplied
by the washing, and quick drying
necessary.
If silver which is in constant use
is washed in this way it will not
need polishing more than once a
month at the most, and then the
polishing should be done discreetly,
so that the new appearance is not
given to it.
In homes where gas is used as an
illuminant the silver discolors soon,
though if nantes are used on the
jets it reduces this to some extent.
