Horsford’s Acid Phosphate,

ASSISTS MENTAL LABOR. Prof. Adolph Ott. Now York, says of the Acid Phosphate: “I have been enabled to devote myself to hard mental labor from shortly after breakfast till a late hour in the evening, without experiencing the slightest relaxation, and I would not now at any rate dispense with it.” The man who “keeps” his word never speaks. No woman can live without some share of physical suffering; but many accept as inevitable a great amount of pain which can be avoided. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was invented by one who understood its need, and had the rare skill to provid j a simple, yet admirably effective, remedy. “What are clouds?” Well, one kind is when you call to see your girl and find that the other fellow is in the parlor with her.

■ Draft Horses—Forty Years’ Experience. A. S. Chamberlain, for forty years proprietor of tbe Bull’s Head Stables, New York City, in reference to the values of different breeds of draft horses, said: “I keep exchange and sale stables for horses. Don’t deal oh my own account to any extent. All classes of horses, amounting to several thousands annually, come to my stables from all sections of the country. A large number of these are draft horses of the different breeds, the Clydesdales, the French horses called Percherons or Normans, the English, and Belgian. There seems to be a larger demand for the French horses than for any other breed. “ Some years ago we used to get a great many horses from Upper Canada. These were Clydesdales, and would weigh from 1,400 to l,t;00 pounds, but they did not seem to answer the purpose; as a general thing their feet were thin-shelled and flat, and, being heavy horses, their feet would become sore and would not stand the pavements. The French horses have good feet and stand the pavements better than the Clydesdales. That is tbe reason they sell better. “I would advise the farmers and breeders who are breeding horses to sell on the New York market for draft purposes to breed from the French horses in preference to all others.”— Chicago Tribune. The best horses to be found in France are recorded with pedigrees in full in the “ Percheron Stud Book” of that country. At the great importing and breeding establishment of M. W. Dunham, Wayne, Du Page County, 111., hundreds of the finest specimens of this famous race can be found at all times.
