Some years ago, in the district OF
Jalpaigori. Bengal, there was a sud
den epidemic of petty thefts and bur
glaries, says the Strand. The police,
completely bafled for some time,
finally arrested an individual on sus-
picion. who, after 3 preliminary mag
isterial investigation, was remanded
in custody with a view to further In
Quiries as to his antecedents. On be-
ing searched, a police officer, suspect
ing he had something concealed in
his mouth, ordered him to open 1t,
when, embedded round one OF his
back teeth, was found a hard sub
stance, which, on being extracted,
proved to be small, semi-circular
clasp-knife. The suspect. who had
hitherto protested his innocence, now
made a full confession, and eventual
ly turned out to be a member Of the
notorious criminal tribe OF "Burwars'
from the district of Gonda, in Oudh
and had already been convicted OF
fourteen previous offenses! He ad
mitted that the knife had been spe
cially made for him. and that he USED
it for cutting open bales Of cloth ant
also for pocket picking.

Healthy old age Is so absolutely do

is that az age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary TO prompt

Some help can be obtained by eat.
ing easily digested foods and by
plenty OF exercise. but this latter Is
irksome TO most elderly people. One
thing Is certain. that a state OF con
stlpation should always be avoided az
Il IL dangerous TO life and health. Tho
best plan is TO take a mild laxative

Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
gprinQ. 1t ia done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not Obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do moi
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as un
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the Precipitation for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, gel
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work
Since the advent Of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work o
taking off the winter coat is easy. Will
the machine horse can be clipped all owe
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours t.
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows al
over two or three times year. The flank
and udders are clipped every three or fou
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be
fore milking. This means less opportuHit
for dirt and other impurities to get int
the milk.
