SOME FACTS * THE HORSE A colt unnroken is worth little more than notuing; improperly broken, it is worth still less. It is harder to break a horse that nas peen tampered with by unskilled hands than one never touched by the hand of man. Often it Is impossible to rid an individual o' faults thrust upon it. when a youngster, by an educator who bas jot bad the necessary expeiier.ee. Many times horses have thus been spoiled for life. P. C. Masterson, the horse trainer and educator, is a man thoroughly experlenced and equipped for this undertaking. Horses placed in hiri ahiirgc can be placed there with the fullest confidence that they will receive the careful and skillful attention. made possible by years pf experience. Now Is the time to have colts broken. Don’t wait till warm weather, as you can now get them handled with more attention. * Masterson is also a developer of apeeL, and has met with splendid

| success in this line. In fact, this is his main business, of which the breakl ing and educating of colts is a very important branch. Experience has j taught Masterson that horses trained for speed should be started early in the year. When a horse goes a “good corking mile” every muscle and fibre in its make-up is put to tho most tense exertion. For this much power of lung and muscle is required. To get this power a good supply of systematic jogging is unavoidably necessary. During the racing season many good prospects are turned out on pasture because they were put to the test of their speed and endurance before thay had sufficient preparation. The horse should be built up in the winter in order to develop speed in the spring. Any attempt to get speed without muscle will be met by disaster. The subject best fitted for hard campaigining is the prospect well wintered. Masterson is well equipped for such wintering. Training barn at Steele's park. Address P. C.

Aii About the Pig. A little boy's first composition WM s ■ about a pig. This is the way he wrote it: "Pige are very queer animals. The pig has its uses. Our dog don’t 3 ! like pigs. His name la Nero, Oui ! teacher read a piece one day about a t wtoked king named Nero. I like good men. My papa is an awful good man. Men are very useful.

Centuries ago, as Sir Walter Scott says in "Ivanhoe,” mon wore oaa thickness of clothes, whether of wool, leather or velvet. The shirt was invented, but for a long time was worn only by the nobility and gentry. Then followed the waistcoat, breeches and, later on, trousers. The overcoat, Which succeeded the mediaeval cloak, was rare until the seventeenth century. Uses of the Aloe. In Africa the leaves of certain species of aloe provide material for bow. strings, hammocks, fishing lines mid ropes. With the Mohammedans th« aloe means much. For Instance, those who have returned from a pilgrimage ! to Mecca bang it over their doors, I as a sign that they have made the great journey. Love All. There is no balm to a man’s heart ' like love, not only the love others feel towards him, but that he feels towards others. Be in love with all things, not only with your fellows, but with the whole world, with every crea ture that walks the earth, with the birds In the air, with the insects in the grass.—H. Fielding Hall. History of Canary Wine. Canary wines have been known for centuries, and winemaking has been an important industry, although lately | Madeira has outpointed it In the competition,.

Give Love. ■' Every year I live I am moio con--1 vtneed that the waste of life lies in 1 the love we have not given, th’ i-jw-I ers we have not used, the selfish yruI dence which will risk nothing, and 8 which, shirking pain, misses tappi- ! ness as well.

I I I Education. “The educational system which seeks to develop the mind into a money-making machine only is a mischievous system; but tho system which crowds the mind with unre’at--1 ed facts and turns out youths who 1 can barely earn a living Is scarcely ' I less mischievous.”—T. Sharper Knowl--1 1 son. i Unwanted “Wants;* I I A great number of our wants are ■ special wants of the imagination; we want them simply because we think that we want them; they give ue no enjoyment when we obtain them; the want, of them is only known by a disagreeable feeling that we are without them. Value of a Postal Card. It is a good plan always to have at hand a half-dozen or so postal cards.

A visitor to Philadelphia, unfamiliar with the garb of the Society of Friends, was much interested in two demure and placid Quakeresses who took seats directly behind her in the i Broad street station.
