Breeding of Harness Horses
Takes Big Drop During Wa,

Tho falling Off In breeding OF the
trotter ana PAGER can be accurately
gagged by the figures OF the 2-year-
old books that have been Issued and
by the number OF new standard per-
formers that took records last sea-
son. Several years ago the list CON
thlned more than 1000 new names,
but during the season OF 1915 the
list began to show a decrease and has
dropped back until last season only
6l5 trotters took records below 2.3O.
and IL will be seen that tho PAGERS
did not keep up with the procession,
only b5l paced 10 records OF 2:25
or better during the last year OF the
war.
In the matter OF meetings, the
same can be said, as they dropped
from l,2S0 in 1915 to almost 900. a
loss OF % per cent In three years
The books show that the entire
mum bcr or trotters that have entered
rhc standard list Is $3.50, and that
the PAGERS have mustered 26.O25 that
have paced miles better than 2.25.
The total number OF trotters and
PAGERS with standard records reaches
6O,356. and 1879 have been added
10 the list within the past 10 years.
In the past 10 years. and 1t Will

crs. Tor the figures show 9,732 PAGERS
and g.397 trottcrs In the decade
When the first year book was pub
lishcd. IN 1884. only 81 PAGERS were
added to tho list. but the trottsrs

now at every meeting the card is
about equally divided between the
trOtters and PAGERS but the time has
not long since passed when there
were only "A couple of Classes for the
PAGERS while the trotter monopolized

grams. The old year books show
that while there were more than
1000 trotters In the list, less than 200

one phase OF tho situation last
year can be explained away. The
'flu" was the cause OF more than
100 meetings being Cancelled. and
several meetings were dispensed

grounds being used for camp sites
for the army. However, all this does
not clear away the fact that the

81 a.. Ur LIFE HEIGHTENED
No Doubt That the People of Today
Live Longer Than Did Their
Ancestors.

When reading Of people who lived
reading about the length of their lives,
we are told that in the old days peo-
pie lived longer than they do now.
Some Of the early historical records
speak of single individuals who lived
hundreds of years. There is great
doub. as 80 whether these statements
are founded on fact. In thinking about
this we must first take into considera.
ton that these records of long ago
were recorded at time when man
had no accurate idea of the actual
passage of long periods of time such
as year. They did not have our cal
endar as basis for figuring at all.
Learned men now tell us that the act
ual age of men who lived at the time
these records of great ages were re-
corded probably lived shorter lives
than we do now, and that what they
recorded as period of one year was
probably a much shorter period than
one year.
It is true beyond the question Of a
doubt that the people of today live
longer on an average than people who
lived ten, twenty or more years ago,
observes the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
In other words, the average period of
life has increased steadily. This is
due to the fact that we have taken
greater care of our bodies; have i'm
prnyod tho conditions in which we live.
and made them more sanitary; have
learned to fight and check and eradl-
cate diseases which only few years
ago we could not prevent people dying
of when they once contracted them.
and we know from the records which
we keep that actually people live long
er on the average today than only
few years ago. and 1t is safe to say
that they live longer now on the aver
age than at any time in the worlds his
tory.

STRICT ETIQUETTE IN CHINA
Matter OF Tea Drinking a Thing of
Much Importance In the Flowery
Republic.

The etiquette observed in tea drink
ing In China is very curious. If a
lady asks you to drink tea with her
and especially If the tea be sweetened
you can count yourself as well re-
ceived and much liked. If she does
not like you, the tea is bitter, and
report has 1t that in cases of this sort
DRAWINGS are often used. After one
sip Of such tea the unliked visitor
makes a prompt exit!
When making call, II the servant
should bring in cup of tea there
is no need to take any particular no.
tice Of 1t. Allow the servant to place
1t where he likes near you, and con-
tinue your conversation as though
nothing had happened. If your bust
ness is pleasant and agreeable to the
mistress or the master of the house,
he or she will pass the beverage to
you; II not, you are expected to leave
1t untouched, otherwise you are likely
to have a quarrel on hand, and Chi
nese quarrel-either with man or q
woman-is unpleasant.

The ManQrove.

The mangrove tree, specimens OF
which are In the Arnold Arboretum,
the tree museum Of Harvard univer.
slty has a very interesting method Of
sending its seeds or fruits into the
world Growing as 1t usually does in
shallow water, it is necessary for the
young fruits actually to begin growing
before they leave the parent plant.
The fruit, which resembles large In
vcrteo berry. sends out large leaves
at its upper end and long root, some
times 10 inches in length, from the
lower end, while yet attached to the
parent plant. Then as II by magic,
the parent plant drops 1t into the mud
where the plant aready growing begins
to develop into a larger plant and soon
is firmly established. II 1t were not
prepared Immediately to begin to grow
in the mud 1t would probably be wash
ed away. A single mangrove is oft
times able to start a small island by
its manifold roots and arms.

The Crows Voice.

The crow is one of the most widely
disliked of birds. His reputation is
bad, and is probably deserved.
No matter how long you study the
crow, you will always have something
to learn, and at the end of all your
study he will know more about you
than you will about him. At times 1t
seems as If he knew what you were
thinking about.
The crow has large variety of
notes or calls, and each one seems to
be the harshest In all bird vocalism
until the next one is sounded, which
Is little harsher. He is an accom-
plished bird, and intelligent. If tanned.
he can be taught many things, but
never to be good. He is a natural
thief, and cannot he reformed.

USE TIN TO WEIGHT SILK
Manufacturers Have to Employ Mato-
rial Which Would Seem Hardly
Suitable for Human Apparel.

We have adopted many foreign ideas
of comic or utility, but no one has
sought to introduce the wooden shoe
from Holland The tin stocking Is
even less suggestive Of luxury. and
yet many of us wear them. OF course
a person could not wear sock OF
"eighteen- carat" tin and be uncon-
scious of IT, but II the tin Is alleged
and disguised with silk he can wear
a considerable amount of 1t without
suspecting 1t.
In cutting round tops and bottoms
out of tin sheets in the manufacture
of tin cans there remains certain
amount of scrap. Men have sat up
nights figuring the maximum number
of such pieces of various sizes that
can be cut from sheet Of the tin,
and still there Is the waste left over
that cannot be worked into sheets
again. Relief Is found In the demand
of the manufacturer of silk, who needs
some substance to weight his goods.
A silk garment hangs and fits and
holds its shape better II weighted.
Everybody knows how soft and light
arc the unweighted pongee silks. So
the manufacturers of tin cans and Of
silks cooperate. One disposes of his
tin waste, and the other converts the
metal into tin chloride and works 1t
into the woven silk Virtually all the
waste of tin can factories Is put to
that use. Some silk stockings contain
as much as 30 per cent of tin. The
use is entirely legitimate, since the
trade demands a silk that is firm and
heavy for certain garments for which
the purchaser desires perfect fit.
Silk waste, such as worn-out and
cast-off garments, becomes In turn a
source of tin worth attention. Rag
pickers give little heed to silk rem
nants, but carefully collect linen and
wool. The rag-pickers' union, If there
is such body, might well take notice
of this information, The tin chlor-
ide in the silk is easily converted into
tin oxide by burning the material. and
from the oxide the metal can be re-
solved.-Youth's Companion.

Some Nomenclature.

A Balt,morean recently received a
letter from a Pennsylvania town tell
ing of the christening In that town Of
a baby in whom patriotism trium-
phantly, II vicariously yelled when the
name was announced as Victory On
Gle Sam" In this same family were
two other children lowered with the
names Of Italy" and Liberty" A
friend to whom this story was told
made a counter attack on wondering
ears by telling of two unfortunate chill
dren in West Virginia, who, antedating
the war and its triumphs, were given
the names from adjacent localities OF
"McAfee's Knob" and "Jubel Doom"
And yet even omniscient Shakespeare
wanted TO know what was in a name.
