ldea Long Held by Horse Breeder: . Has Been Proved to Be Without N Foundation.:

¥or more years than a' man can count men have felt suspicious of, if not unkindly toward, a horse with three white feet. There is an ancient rhyme which runs something like this:

One white foot, buy him; 27 Two white feet, u:jy i . Three white feet, deny him; : Four white feet, skin hinmi and give him to the crows. |

Not- true; nothing in it; facts disprove it. A fair proportion of the fastest, strongest, toughest and most faithful horses have had and still haves two, three and four white feet. Durbar 11, & Derby winner. a few years back, had three white feet. Another deep-rooted prejudice concerns the.coler of horses. A gray has been generally esteemed as a tough and “staying” horse, and a black horse bas been suspected of lack of stamina. A roan horse, either steel roan or strawberry roan, has always been slzed up as a hardy horse. A dun horse was. thought.to be the last word

in feebleness. A cream-colored horse | was suspected of inability to go -the " pace, and a white horse, besides being hard to keep clean, was believed te be of delicate constitution.. Bays, browns and sorrels have generally been judged on “points” and conformatlon, Independent- of the color question.

All this is wrong, according to experiments at a government station. A government builetin has .said that “The color of a horse is no indication of .the real value of the animal and the statement cannot be made tco em phatic that speed, intelligence, vigor

MOUTH HOLDS FEW BACTERIA

Saliva and Muscular Action, It Is An. - nouriced, Work Quickly to Clear the Oral Cavity. :

It has hitherto been asgumed by pathologists that the bactéria which are known to lodge in the cavity of the mouth in seething masses are disease producing, and that they are always present' to take advantage of any unfortunate lowering 0f the powers of resistance in the human body,

It has now been demonstrated by a professor at Johns Hopkins university that although the oral cavity has no elaborate system of hairy mem., branes like the nose and air passages, to rid it of bacteria and foreign particles, nevertheless it does the same thing by a mechanical action of the muscular structures around the mouth that set up suction currents which remove any bacteria or foreign particles from the mouth in from fifteen to thirty ‘minutes. These suction currents carry the bacteria uniformly to: ward the rear of the mouth, without any lateral or forward dissemination, and pass them on without'lodging on the tonsils or the walls of the pharynx.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. i . - Goats Exceed Sheep. The annual value of goat products in British Columbia now exceeds that of sheep, and goat raising is now looked. upon as an important industry of the province. The milk yield during the past year increased 40 per ‘cent over 1920, and still the supply is inadequate to meet the steady demand for this product. St : '

CITY WILL HONOR FOUNDER Rio de Janeiro to Erect Monument to . Estacio de Ba, Regarded as . First Settier. : One of the landmarks of Rio de Janeiro has been a hill about” 300 feet high in the heart of the city, called the “Morro de Castello.” A chapel crowned the top, and there was the tomb of Estacio de Sa, who with his brother, Salvador de Sa, shares the title of founder of the city. Salvador was drowned at sea, So only Estacio could be entombed. Nearby the chapei on the hill was a stone something like a milestone, bearing the date 1567, and called the foundation stone. ,

On January 20 Rio de Janeiwo celebrated the three hundred and fiftyfifth anniversary of its founding. As it had been decided to raze the hill and so make available valuable land, on that day the ashes of Estacic were taken. from their long-time resting place and carried in an army wagon to the monastery of .the Capuchins at the beginning of the ascent of the mountain Tijuca. In another wagon was the foundation stone; followed by a long procession composed chiefly of Roman Catholic religious bodies. : After the ground where the hill was is properly prepared a monument to commemorate the founding of the city will be erected in the same place, and the remains of the founder and the foundation stone will be put theve.

OUTDOES RAVEN OF FICTICN

New York Bird Believed to Be 'the Champion Talker of the o Feathered Tribe. = . .

Meet a rare bird from Australia! He is coal black, with white china eyes, a wicked laugh and a trick dance that he does in his cage on: top of the ice box in a Bronx park tea room. He sits there next to the root beer barrel and is willing, say his managers, to challenge all birdland to a. talking match, according to the New York Sun. When it comes to quoting short and pithy phrases Poe’s raven, with: his “Nevermore” recitative, was merely an also ran. B - This bird doesn’t know how he got here. He remembers being somewhere out in.the suburbs of Sydney on a summer night.. Then he was trapped and out en the high seas before he knew what was ‘happening. o Now he liveg in Bronx park and never a bird-in a gilded cage has as fine a line of patter as this old raven. Perhaps he is segregated so he will not teach the whole parrot house to jeer at Sunday afternoon visitors. He can talk in a rich, deep barytone voice such as never belonged to a parrot and can interpose intervals of falsetto. At the end of every speech he hops down and does a double shuffle dance. Then he laughs at the audie_hée. 3 : . Very Depths of Despair. _ Stanley Coulter, deag of Purdue

Dean Coulter, who is chairman ef the Near East rellef organization of Tippecanoe ' county, made an appeal to the club for Armenian orphan aid, ‘his talk supplementing a showing of the picture, “Alice in Hungerland.” The dean asserted that all optimists must come to the relief of distressed people of the world. “I know the optimists ef this club,” he said, “and I am sure there is not one of you like ‘the man I recently heard about—a man who feels bad when he feels good for fear he will feel worse after he feels better, That, gentlemen, is the latest explanation of a real pessimist.”
