Needless Harness.

From many fragments of the arehf-
lecture of the early ages, and first al
lusions to the horse as a domeSticateG
animal. it is obvious that nothing SUI
perhuous IN the way of saddlery and
harness was employed, and on Grecian
bass reliefs and friezes horses are rep
resented as being ridden without Dit,
bride, saddle or stirrups, the animals
being trained to obey the indications
of the hand and leg. while the attach
ments for draft to the chariots used in
war and sport were of the simplest
character AS time went on however
superfluous and injurious portions Oh
harness We're introduced the weight of
leather and mental furniture increased,
and more attention was paid to appear
ance than utility.
This has continued down to the pres
ent times. and in spite or the protests
of these who have made the welfare OF
the horse a speciality. and the example
of a few enlightened owners who nave
realized the advantage of lightness ana
simplicity in harness, there still per-
sists the idea that certain portions,
such as the bearing and hanle rein anu
the winker bride, even If unnecessary
and useless give the horse a more
furnished appearance, and, when dis-
pensed with, naked look. In otner

GETTING OLD TOO SOON.
Rules for Preserving Youth and De-
ferrng Old Age.

We often hear it said by scientific
men that human beings grow old too
quickly and die too soon. Since
everything that has life in due time
grows old and dies we must con
clude that nature intends man to die
also. But what is cue time?"
The scientific men say that the race
does not enjoy its full allowance OF
life and that instead of growing ole
in the land which the Lord our God
gives us we perish prematurely
there, chiefly by reason of our own
blindness and self-indulgence.
When we look into the cases of per
sons who have lived 10 a great age
and enjoyed good health all through
life we generally find that they were
born OF healthy and long lived parents
and that they themselves led rather
abstemious lives Almost always we
learn that they did not worry
When Dr Harvey wrote his report
on the death OF @Old Parr," who is said
to have lived to the age of 1872 years,
he used the phrase sorry fear, but
free from care" The absence of worry
as an aid to long life was as well un-
derstood then as it is today.
In recent book on the subject of
deferring old age the writer declares
that by following carefully the rules
of hygiene we can preserve our youth
until the age of so and live for 100
years or even more. Among the rules
he gives are these:
Be as much in the open air as pos
sible, take plenty of exercise and
above all breath deeply and regularly.
Live on a simple diet, eat meat only
once a day and take care to chew
your food thoroughly. Go to bed early
and rise early; sleep ma dark and
quiet room with open windows and
take never less than six or more than
seven and a half hours if YOU are a
man or more than eight and a half
hours if You are a woman. Avoid
worry about things that have hap
pened and cannot be helped or that
may happen and cannot be foreseen
and be temperate to abstemiousness in
the use of alcohol, tobacco, tea and
coffee.-Youth's Companion.

WaterVille's Opera house was filed

occasion of the third uplift meeting
under the auspices of the business

New YEARS in Lanan.


Far away in flowery Japan the little
sisters. Taxa and Matsu, and their
small brother, Suzuki Tetsutaro, begin
the new year with mirth and frolic,
wearing new clothes, eating from new
dishes sitting ON fresh new mating,
and playing with bright new toys.
Throughout the empire everything is
new so far as possible And after the
family prayer to the spirits of depart
+ ed ancestors, which begins the season,
gayety rules light heartedly.
For seven days the children win be
free to play, for until the eighth day
they will have no school. Little bro
Their may fly his kites of various de-
signs and sizes which float from all
the roof tops of the city. The little
girls will play gracefully their favorite
holiday game of shuttlecock and bat
tledore, using battledores that are
both beautiful and costly, decorated
with neurological and historical char
acters.
on the night of Jan. 2 everyone will
go to sleep at night with a picture of

bring good dreams. The symbol of this

japanese children have special food
to eat during the New Year holidays.
On the morning of the seventh day, for
instance. it is the custom to eat boiled
rice that has been cooked with seven
vegetables. On the fifteenth day, rice
boiled with small beans is eaten. Rice
dumplings ornamented with pictures
of Holsters are u faVorite delcacy; also
dried chestnuts, which meant victory.
All these customs mean in some way
health, long life, and happiness.
In olden times the manner of calcu-
lating ages in japan was different
from that IL Western lands. In japan
a person became one year old with the
advent of the new year and a child
was then tWo Years Of age whether he
WIS born early or 1ate in the preceding
year. The fact that he gained year
to his age in this way was considered
a matter of congratulation Today our
Western method of counting by years
and months is generally followed,
There are decoration. all about
which please the childrens eyes and
fancy. On either side of the house
porch branches of pine stand undis-
turhed for seven days. and from them
hang straw cables and pieces of BAN
boo. The walls are appropriately or
namented, and mirror dumplings, so
called because they are thought to re-
semble mirror, are piled upon pine
leaves and seaweed. Flowers are ar
ranged in special way, all selected to
signify long life and happiness. Many
important ceremonies follow one an
other until the twentieth day is reach

number of young produced vary from,
say fifteen to one, according to the
particular species. and the condition
of these young at birth varies accord
ingly; but it is governed by various
circumstances, and especially by the
mode of life led by the parents Young
rabbits which are born in an under
ground burrow are blind, naked and
helpless at birth; the young hare. which
is own cousin to the rabbit, is born
with its eyes open and covered witt,
fur, and this because it is born above
ground, where it is exposed both to
the inclemency of the weather AMI
predatory foes.
Another very interesting aspect Of
this theme is the duration of infancy
This certainly is largely determined by
the bulk of the adult animal. Young
mice have practically no infancy. for
they may be parents at six weeks Old.
The horse is grown at three
years. the elephant requires twenty
three, or something more, to attain the
same stage. Thus the horse is dying
of old age as the elephant is beginning
to realize the joy of living. DIR. Chaim-
ers Mitchell has touched on this same
point, ana ne Teind1kS llidl VIC mus

and that, similarly. the mushroom faf

but a fraction OF the time to grow.
The causes of infant mortality have

of a good held up by the Master. Mr..
Hutchins has searched the Scriptures
for the definition of a good man, and
the definition that he finds there is
that of a man who can think of
something beside his own affairs; who
can be neighborly.
He spoke of a nest of boxes from
the Orient, which contains hidden in
its center an object that gives it
value; it may be a clay marble, or a
diamond. So with men and women;
there is ohe essential quality that
gives them their value. A like figure
is that of the sea shell, which is given
it's beauty and it's form by the life
that is within. We should be animated
and formed by noble life within, as
told in the words of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, in The Chambered Nautilus:
Build thee more stately mansions, o my
