CARE OF HEALTH OF HORSES
Critical Eya Can Soon Discover When
Animal Is Aillng-Some Drivers
Are Careless.

A critical eye can soon tell by the
dull eye, slow movements, hot breath
or shaking Of the head when a horse
Is sick, but some drivers growl, "Oh,
can't stop for a little thing like
that" They never examine the feet
after a trip, to remove the wedged
stone that hurts so, do not warm the
bit on cold mornings, or put on blan-
kets on bad days. They overload, hur-
nv too fast, use too much whIp-lash
and fail to give the kind word and
petting that llghtens labor for the
horse. The kindly used horse lives
long.

When starting farm flock try to

no question Of hereditary influence In
carrying similarity throughout the

been bred in blood lines that will re-
produce their strong and valuable
characteristics. The adherence to
purebred sires is principle that
should not be overlooked.

MONKEYS LOVE FOR YOUNG
Mothers Practically Devote Entire
Lives to Their Babies and Fond
ness Knows No Bounds.

Monkeys are born in almost as help
less a condition as are human beings
For the first fortnight after birth they
pass their time In being nursed, IN
sleeping and in looking about them.
During the whole of this time the care
and attention of the mother are most
exemplary. The slightest sound OF
movement excites her immediate no
tice, and, with her baby in her arms,
sire skillfuiiy evades any approaching
danger by the most adroit maneuvers.
At the end of the first fortnight the
little one begins to get about by itself,
but always under its mothers watch
full care. She frequently attempts to
teach It to do for itself, but never for
gets her sol!citude for its safety, and
at the earliest intimation of danger
seizes 1t in her arms and seeks place
of refuge. When about six weeks old
the baby begins to need more substan..
tial nourishment than milk and Is
taught to provide for itself. The moth
er's fondness for her offspring con.
tinues; she devotes all her time 20 til
comfort and education, and, should II
meet with an untimety end her grief
is so intense as frequently to cause her
own death.

Ancient EnqIlsh Tree,

There grows in the beautiful garden
of the dowager counties of Derby, in
England, an ancient oak tree which II
said to be the Oldest one in England.
The size Of the trunk of this veneer
able oak testifies to its antiquity. but
ON . stone seat by its side is more d.
rect evidence. The seat bears tablet
recording that Wilberforce wrote. In
his diary in 17sS that he well remem"
bered, after a conversation with Pitt,
and before descending int the Vale OF
Keston, sitting at the foot Of Gan old
tree" and resolving to give notice In
the house Of commons that he would
move the abolition Of the slave trade.
The tree In question, which was
therefore a good age 100 years ago, Is
carefully preserved with zinc plates
where the damp might gather. and the
branches are held up with iron bars,
but 1t bears a goodly crop of leaves,
and seems good for many years of life.

They were riding rather fast and the
air was cold.

moisture gathered in the dogs eye. It
trickled down his cheek. The lady de-

she brought him to me-the glasses
are to protect his eyes when he goes

IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIL; ;'.:,r.
Even the Biggest Men of Affairs Al
range Their Business on Punctu-

A young Kentuckian lost big for
tune by being 20 minutes late in keep
ing business engagement, according
to the Christian Herald.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar

prod US up to the mark.

Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, If any, Is your
own affair. But 1t also is the affair Of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time. too. If your time is worth.
less, maybe his Is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases 1t may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not mat
ter even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of the least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but 1t
can be done, and it is worth while to
do 1t.
Great business men have this habit
Men of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance OF
saving it by being prompt.

French QraperX.

The French are pastmasters in the
art of draping fabrics. A Parisienne
has truthfully said that French taste
Is distinctly feminine and as clear az
the Gallo language itself, says an ex-
change. It possesses the genius of
curves, the secret Of what is graceful
and the intuition of what brings about
harmony. These characteristics are
all to be found in French art, French
industries and French cceations.
It is In France that we find the
work Of the most skilful hands. the
most artistic jewelry, the richest
clothes and the most beautiful hats. In
foreign countries the idea of ugliness
or bad taste is never associated with
the women OF France.

Our Other Selves.

The old Hebrew sage declared,
"Wisdom cometh from the opportunity
Of leisure" It does net mean that a
wise mansmust belong to what we call
the leisure classes. It means that if
one has only little free time at his
disposal, he must use that time for the
refreshment Of his hidden selves, says
9. NJ. Crothers in the Atlantic. Il he
cannot have a sabbath rest Of twenty
four hours, he must learn to sanctify
little sabbaths, It may be Of ten min
utes' length. In them he shall do no
manner Of work. 1t Is not enough that
the self that works and receives wages
shall be recognized and protected; the
world must be made safe for our other
selves. Does not the Declaration Of
