volving nebula. and that uebulae were

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
nable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and well 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, 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 leaning to mischief.

For months Lexington readers have

Millions for Patent Medicine.
New Bedford Standard.1

tNth beuIpTu
All the world seems to be taking patent
medicine, and to a considerable extent
Ameriean-made patent medicine, even
those countries where the chemical indus
try has attained high degree of develop
ment. such as Germany, France and Aus
tria, buying thousands of dollars worth
in the course of year for
the past three years of imports of
medicines patent or proprietary. Alto
gether nearly 100000 worth of these pro-
ducts were sent out of this country last
year and in the past decade more than
$50, 600 worth.-a figure that does not
include the numerous articles exported
for use in the preparation of medicines,
such as ginseng. roots, barks, and herbs,
and other articles of this character, of
which above a s1,o0 90 worth are export
ed annually.
Eighty different countries are named in
the statistics of the department of com
merce and labor as receiving these patent
medicines, scattered over every grand
division and throughout the islands of the
sea OF the s1500,O00 worth distributed
over North America outside of this coun-
try. Cuba is the greatest patron. import
ing last year nearly $780, worth Cana
da had 1896, 600 worth, --exico $4,000, Pan
ANA $4,000 and the British West Indies
over 100000 worth South America takes
regularly nearly $4,000 worth year.
Far India had $4,000 worth last year;
Africa had at least 100000 worth; Aus
tralia and Tasmania over 100000 worth.
Persia, Asiatic Turkey and Siam alone
import conspicuously small amounts.
Either the patent medicine habit is
growing or else the American goods are
gaining popuiarity-for 10 years ago the
value of such exports was hardly $1,000, :
600: in 1900 1t had increased to 100000; in
1905 it was IS. 100000: and now in the fiscal
year closed in June, the total is practical
" 900. When to this is added the
amount of these proprietary medicines
consumed in this country. the immensely
