NATURE UPLIFTED BY LOVE
Mans Affection for Dumb Animals
Has Been the Means Of Broad.
ening His Intellect.

Who has not loved horse, dog, a
cat or bird? He has missed a re-
filming and softening influence In life.
There is something in our love for
animals that lies deep in our hearts
Why we love them is a question not
easily answered. It is not animal in
stinct; that leads to contempt Of an
or the weakling in q pack is Ill treated
or killed by it's fellows. Our love for
them comes partly from their depend
ence on US. Mans nature differs
from that of lower animals; weakness
and dependence appeal to his tender
ness. Our love for an animal appears
to lift it up out of the commonplace.
The love and companionship that man
has given the dog has raised him in
the ranks of creatures. It has in
creased his intelligence. He has even
gained some traits of human beings.
In strength of love and faithfulness
the dog exceeds most human animals.
And man loses nothing by companion
ship with animals. His intellect u
broader, he has wider and deeper sym
pathy with all the world. His nature
is uplifted by tho love he bears his
dog or his horse
Kindness to animals and love for
them should be taught children from
their earliest years. 1t is a duty OF
parents, of teachers, of employers.
Some employers need to give more
care to how their horses are driven.
Boys driving delivery wagons are Oft
en- cruel from want of knowledge. II
all were imbued with kindness for ami
mails, there would be little work left
for humane societies.

All a Part of Beauty.

whats the use of discussing the
question as to how 'homely girls may
secure husbands said an observant
Broadwayite as he watched the mat
inee crowd. There are no homely
girls in this city. You may see plenty
that you think are homely, but do not
feel sorry for them-they don't think
SO. There is not a woman who in her
heart does not feel that she looks well.
I know a young lady who is distress
jngly cross-eyed. One day expressed
sympathy for her. Don't pity her, eX-
claimed another woman. She likes her
eyes. She believes they are her chief
beauty. Thinks they make her look
cute And so it is with all women.
Their blemishes are regarded as aids
to beauty. There is a well-knoWn
actress who has large pale brown
mole on one Of her cheeks. 1t is near
ly as large as q dime. Do you think
she regards it as blemish? Not at
all; she likes it and has suits made
to match it in color"

IN SHADY NOOkS OF LONDON
Among Them Is the Herb Garden In
Chelsea That Was Originated
In the Year 1921.

There are sundry methods of defy.
ing the heat wave that has swept over
London, says recent Issue of the
London Chronicle.
Half minute from the roar OF
Fleet street you can rest beneath the
friendly shade of the trees of Clihords
Inn, or you can wander leisurely
through the cloisters Of the Temple,
bordering over Goldsmith and Lamb
and Dickens. But there is an even
more romantic spot than any old-world
inn that adjoins the street of adven.
ture-the herb garden in the heart M
old Chelsea.
Herb gardens we're common enough
at one time in London, but Chelsea is
the only parish that still has one In
being, and there is rest and refresh
ment in q visit to this haunt of peace
and loneliness which at the present
day produces some of the drugs that
figure in the pharmacopoeia.
Its history is interesting. The ply
sic-garden was originated by Sir Hans
Sloane and handed over by him to
the Apothecaries' company in TIL.
The garden was presented to the COM
pany on condition that 1T should at
all times be continued as physic gar
den, for the manifestation of the pow
err, the wisdom, and goodness of God
in creation; and that the apprentices
might learn to distinguish good and
useful plants from hurtful Ones"
The Apothecaries' garden is the old
est botanic garden in London. It IL
included in the many interesting spots
visited by rambling parties arranged
by the Selborne society, an organiza
ton which reveals the beauties and
curiosities of London to the Londoner.

STATE PRISON EDITOR PAROLED
Bids Farewell to Fellow COnvicts in
Editorial.

Bids Farewell to Fellow Convicts in
Editorial.
Saltwater, Mimi, Aug. 26.-The ed
itor of the Saltwater State Prison
Mirror, whose writings have attracted
considerable attention in Minnesota
and in other states, has been granted
clemency by the state board of parole
and will depart from the prison before
the end of the present week.
In the current issue of the paper
the editor, whose name was not made
public by the board of parole, bids
farewell to his fellow convicts and ex-
presses sadness at the parting, cal
though we have the joyful prospect of
once more breathing free air and
dwelling where ones soul can once
more be ones own and Gods"
During our Incarceration here, "
the editor continues, 1--WE have learned
one lesson never to be forgotten. We
have learned that there is pure gold
here among all the dross; that there
are within these walls as good and true
hearts as ever dared to throb, men
who would make the world better by
living in it, were they given the
chance. We have formed deep-rooted
friendships that will last until the
last rays of life's light are extinguish-
ed We now go into the land of
freedom to toll as only free man
can for those who are dearer to us
than our own life ever can be. They
who have had the fingers of scorn
pointed at them from all hooks and
corners; they who have suffered IN
told, indescribable hardships and de-
privations because of our absence
from the family hearth.
"Our greatest sorrow in saying
goodbye is that we cannot take you
all along to share our joy and free
dom with us. But memory will keep
enshrined your names on the tablets
of our heart; stone walls and iron
bars shall not break the links of kind
ness and friendship.
$50 goodbye, one and all; good
bye, dear old Mirror. May you ever
prosper and continue to bring cheer to
those who may be so unfortunate as
TO get here from where we now 60
forth; may you ever continue to bold
1y proclaim the rights of the convict
ed men ard women; may you never
cease in the good cause for which you
were intended and have steadfastly
maintained, and may the time soon
come when you can prove to all as
you have proved to many that the
word convict does not particularly
apply to any one class of people, but
that those in prison are even as you
and I-just ordinary human beings"

PLASTERING THE PIT SILO.

If you are thinking of building pit
silo, you should look we'll into the
matter of plastering the walls. Near
ly every case Of failure Of pit silo
has resulted from a poor job Of plas-
tering.
Put the plaster on as the hole is
dug, using a mortar made Of one part
of clean sand to two and one-half
parts of Portland cement, applying
first one coat, then applying another,
so that the total thickness Of plaster
is from one to one and half inches.
Keep this plaster wet for a week after
being put on and shade it from the
direct rays of the sun. II the clay in
the side walls is very dry, it should
be wet before plastering on it.-De.

The Aiienist.

The alienist is the most recent pro
duct of diversified psychology. Dur
ing the past few years he has investi-
gated every degree Of mental abnor-
mality, from incipient paranoia to auc-
ton bridge. He is very present help
in time of trial, being more valuable
than mediocre prosecutor or an IT,
norant jury. He is able to establish
any degree Of sanity for any human
being with money and with or with
out brains. As soon as legislators ap-
preciate the necessity Of making emo
tional incongruities basis for d.
vorce. the alienist will come into his
own. Then will the riddle Of affinity

Of eugenics be checked.-Judge.
