The study of types\nhas only quite recently been taken up\nby men of science with a view of ascertaining the origin of the species and to\ndifferentiate their characteristics.\nAs a result of this study, based upon\nthose anatomical differences und variations which have resulted from wide\ngeographical distribution, uud which\nprobably originated in early geological\ntimes, it may bo accepted that there\nare four families or species of horses.\nThe first typo iu this classification is\nthe Celtic horae, found on the west\nconst of Norway, known as the Fjord\nhorse ia Iceland, Faeroe, Barra, und\nother small islands nf the outer Hebrides, in northern Scotland, on thc\n.Shetland Isles, and in Cotineninru ur\nnorthern Ireland. There litis also been\nfound a -lose kinship between the Celtic horse and the true Tarpan horso of\nRussia. The principal characteristics of\nthis type are tlmt, ia common with tho\nasses and zebras, it has nn callosities on\nits hind legs, and litis a black stripe thu\nentire longth of the hack and through\nthe tail. It is also frequently striped\non the legs ami shoulders like the asses,\nand is uf a brown or light dun color.\nNature establishes harmonious groups\nof plants, trees, and animals, and, certain conditions of climale heing given,\ncertain groups of animals ami plants\nare found associated. Thc small red\ndeer of Norway was un original associate of the Celtic horse, and as this\ndeer is related to the rod deer of sonic\nparts of France and of Spain, also of\nSardinia and ihe Barbary states, the\nquestion naturally arises whether tho\nsmall ponies of those same regions,\nthough not known only as domestic animals, may not be proven to bo kindred\nto the Celtic horse. If the characteristics mentioned above arc present in any\nlABUTO it would B001I) to prove the\npoint. Scientific research in this direction has not been pursued, and an inviting field is open to any one who cares\nto follow this subject further.\nThe second typo of horse iH the Pro*\njcvalsky, found in a wild state on tho\nsteppes of central Asia, Thero nre a\nfew of theso in Fnglaiul on tho estate\nof the Duko of Hedfonl, and several\nspecimens nre being bred in tho New\nYork Zoological Gardens. Tha Pro*\njevnlsky horse is of a red brown eolnr\nwith a light \"mealy\" nose, litis a large\nhead in proportion to his body and is\n\"eat hummed,\" and less powerful th-tn\nthe Celtic horse.

People spoke\nalready of his \"Andaluslan fury\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094an\napt phrase which accounts for something in the history of himself and his\ngreater daughter. His wife was also\nan actress uf great talent, and thus\nMarie Malibran wus born almust tn the\ngreen room. Her birth took place lu\nParis within a few weeks of the arrival of her father there from his native\nSpain, and she always claimed to be a\nParisian and a Frenchwoman. Garcia,\nlike most of his class, was a nomad,\nand the child was transferred when she\nwas but three years old to Italy. In\nthat far-off period the children of tbe\nstage had to help in the making uf\nbread for the household at a pathetically early ago, as some of thc survivors of that dead epoch could tell\nus to-day when they recount the story\nof their youth\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mrs. Kendal and Ellen\nTony among others. It was In Naples\nthat Marie Malibran made her first appearance. This was a solitary appearance, for immediately after she gave\nherself up to the serious study of\nmusic. Two French musicians, who\nhad gained the travelling scholarship\nknown as Grand Prize of Home, antici\npated her future greatness, and de\nvoted themselves, wilh true artistic\ncomradeship, to the development of\nher talents, Already, Indeed, sho was\na remarkable child, for she could speak\nFrench* Spanish, and Italia i with\nfluency.

Then she went to\nAmerica with a brilliant engagement,\naccompanied by her father. There are\nInnumerable stories of the merclless-\nness with which thnt terrible father\ncompelled lier to work at short notice.\nTlie restless fit, however, came on him\nagain, nnd he went to Mexico, leaving\nbis daughter in New York behind him.\nIt was n perilous position for one so\nyoung nud su successful und so unhappy. For any refuge was welcomo from\na taskmaster so severe and su dreaded. \"The precise facts,\" says our iiu-\nthor, \"leading up to lho marriage are\nsomewhat obscure, because it was contracted in America, ami It is rather\ndifficult tu ascertain them exactly, Tbls\nmuch Is known; that Francois Mugetie\nMalibran, a French banker, has established himself in New Vork; fallen In\nlove with Mile.

For whilst taking up a new life,\nand leaving her father to gain a husband, the poor girl had only effected a\nChange Of misery, as she too soon apprehended. In reality, aud despite her\ngreat attractiveness, It is said that\nMalibran, in making his suit for her,\nhad Ids eye on business, nnd on nothing more, aiming at the dowry of\n$10,000. If we can go by all that has\nbeen said on this topic, tbe position\nof this so-called banker, which everyone believed to be very prosperous and\nsecure, was, on the contrary, In most\ndesperate straits. The $10,000 enabled\nhim, for the moment, to put off his\ncreditors; but only a few months later\nhis credit hud vanished and he was\ndeclared Insolvent.\nThus was Malibran thrown back\nagain upon her art. It was unfortunate for her personal happiness, but\nwithout this calamity In her domestic\nlife sbe never would have attained her\nglory. It Is seldom that glory is ever\nattained except at the loss of something else ln life. Malibran returned\nfrom New York to Paris, spent some\nlittle time In retirement, awaiting\nevents and offers that she could accept;\nand finally making a single appearance\nln opera, at once captured Paris, and\nsent it crazy in honor of her gifts, her\nbeauty, and her misfortunes. From\nthat tlmo onward Malibran had no further difficulties ln her artistic career.\nEvery country and every great city\nfought for her.\nIt was ln Italy, of course, tbat she\nexcited enthusiasm to Its highest pitch.\nTliere are illustrations of this enthusiasm which are scarcely credible.\nTake, for Instance, an occurrence at\nMilan\u00E2\u0080\u0094Malibran was singing In \"Norma.\" At the end of the second act\nthere burst forth a storm of applause.\nIt went on and on till nt last a full\nquarter of un hour elapsed, and still\ntho shouting showed no sign of stopping. The authorities were shocked,\nand the chief constable called upon the\naudience to stop. They went on more\nfuriously than ever. Then the mayor\nwas called ln, and he at last threatened\nto stop the performance, and then only\ndid It come to an end. \"Perhaps the\nIlrst time,\" comments the chronicler,\n\"that police measures have bad to be\nemployed to stop an artiste being applauded.\"\nIt was soon after tbls tremendous\ntriumph that Malibran heard suddenly\nof thc death of Bellini. She had\nachieved some of her greatest successes\nIn his operns, and she was personally\nacquainted with him, nnd the two were\nalt ached to each other. The event\nmnde a painful Impression on her. She\nmust have beon something of a visionary, as most artists ure, for she made\nthe sinister and sadly-realized remark,\n\"I foci I shall soun follow him.\" Sbe\ndid, for she died Jusi a year afterwards\nFILLING OLD MINES WITH SAND\nOld workedout mines nro often highly dangerous. When Ihey are almost\nforgotten the ground above them wi.i\nsome times cava in. with disastrous results, it is not an uncommon thing in\nau old mining district to see a house,\nor even part of a town, that bus been\nwrecked by dropping Into an unsUipOOt*\n<*d and long-abandoned tunnel beneath.\nTlie ordinary preventive method lined\niu American mines is mere or lens extensive timbering, but thin is never per-\nt'eelly snfe, and even with regular oversight it remit ins a constant tuennr-c, A\nmothod used ia Kuropeiin nnd Australian mining districts is the filling of\niibatiiluned workings with sand\u00E2\u0080\u0094a some-\nwhat expensive method to start with,\nbut justified hy the fact, that, onco dime,\nno further tluinght need ho given tu it,\nas it has practically become mice moro\nn part of the solid crust of the earth.\nThe workings of what is known ns\ntho shamrock mine, in Westphalia, aro\nfilled with sand. These workings are\nabout 1,000 feet deep, and tho sand li\ntarried 1,000 foot horizontally from the\nshaft underground and deposited; at\nanother mine it is carried a horizontal\ndistance of ovor ,1,1100 foot. At tho\nMyslowitz colliery, .'1,000 tons of sand\nwero daily sent down into the minn for\nstopo filling. In this mine ono coal\nseam is 8 to 21 foot thick, and another\n88 to 87 feet, indicating thnt sand-filling is applicable to largo as well as\nsmall stupes. The sand is obtained\nfrom a bank 20 ft. thick and 1,500 ft.\nlong, steam shovels being usod to load\ncars, which aro hauled to tho points of\ndischarge by steam locomotives. Thoro\nare two boreholes, one 7N0 feet deep.\nthe othor 1,100 foot. From tho foot of\nthese holes tlie suiul\nthe stupes,\nAt a colliery near Liege, Belgium,\nthe sand is sluiced down with water\nthrough six-Inch pipes, At one coal\nmine ill Silesia 7,0UU tons of Band and\ndebris are seat down daily to fill tho\nstupes.\nin Western Australia, mill tailing is\nsent down into tlie mines through shafts\nfrom the surface. The sand is distributed by means of a bolt-conveyor\nplaced on aa obi level running over tho\nstopes to bo filled below, band-filling\nhas boen practised In tho Western Australian mines for tho last fourteeu\nyears, so may bo said to have there\npassed tho stage of experiment. The\ncost is stated to bo about 20 cents per\nton of oro extracted, which certainly\ncompares favorably with the most economical employment of timber iu American minus.\nJf It is run In wet, tho sand will\nsettle and some water will rise to thu\nsurface of the sand and may be drained\nor pumped awuy, whilo some of the\nwater will surely .leak away through\ncrevices in the bulkhead and men in\nthe rocks. Anything tlmt, could caUBO\na mud-rush must be carefully avoided.\nAMERICANS OF EARLIEST DAYS\nIn considering Ihe clvillxatlou of flu*\n-allies! Americans we ate apt to underrate tlieir ability and progress because\nthey achieved su much less thuu our\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2wii aucostors in Asia nud l-uropo, We\nmust romombor, however, that the null*\nly of a people is measured not merely\nI iy Hie tilings which it achieves, but\nby Ibe opportunities which it possesses\nund llie difllcultlos which it overcomes.\nThrough some happy accident uur fore*\nlien is not unly chanced upon tho dis*\niron, but dwelt iu a laud\nwhere the cattle were capable of being\nloniesticuted and used as beasts of burden such ns tbe fierce buH'alo could\nnever become. There, too, tho wild\nplants included those extremely useful\nspecies, wheat, barley, and rice, much\nmore widely adaptable and useful than\nthe corn uud beans of America.\nConsider for n moment what iron\nmeans to US. Where should wo bo if\nevery scrap of metal should suddenly\nbe taken away? Suppose, too, that we\nhad no cuttle, uo sheep, no horses, aud\nno domestic animals of any sort except\nthe dog. How long would it bo before\nwc should be naked, and should be\nfighting for the veriest rags to keep out\nthe cold airs of winter? How we should\nfight for every scrap of food, liko veritable beasts! Thc strong, the sly, or tho\ncrafty would survive; tho rest would\nmiserably perish. Our vaunted culture\nwould vanish into thin air before the\ninexorable primitive aeeds of food and\nshelter. We should scour tho mountains for Hint, wc should bruiso our\nhands in clumsy attempts to chip stones\ninto tools, nnd we should be filled witb\nilclight when we found a stick of wood\nwell shaped for killing rabbits.\nYet in the past how much the first\nAmericans accomplished! Without iron\nor any other metal they hewed caves\nand images from the softer rocks, or\nbroke hard sandstone into symmetrical\nblocks for thc construction of dwelling-\nhouses. They felled large trees ami\nmado them into beams, they cut pathways in tho faco of the dill's, built\nhouses of many storeys, tilled the land,\nand did all manner of household tasks,\nsuch as grinding grain, weaving cloth,\nand making pottery. They raised their\nstructures to a height of three or even\nfive storeys without tho help of a single\nimplement which we would call a tool,\nnad after a thousand, or perchance two\nthousand, years some of their walls\nstill stand. Crude us their achievement was, it was, if anything, greater\nthan ours, for they lived in the dawn\nof civilization. Who can say how the\nhistory of tho world might have boon\naltered had some accident disclosed tho\nuse of iron to America as well as to\nAsia ?\ndistributed to [smoked on a block of wood roughly\nhewn to the shape of a foot.

A\nhuge tin basin wus half full of a white\nfluid that looked for ull the world like\na rather chalky milk; before it, in a\nlittle pit, was a tin arrangement something like a milk-can with au open top\nout of wlii.h poured a thin, blue, hot\nsmoke; aud above the pit was a frame\non which rested a round stick that held\na globular mass of yellowish rubber pro-\nonsly smoked and eurod. The round\nstick was rolled over the basin, a cupful of new rubber was ladled over the\nmass as it was rolled back into the\nsmoke, aud there held ami manipulated\nuntil the whole surface was thoroughly\nsmoked, lu thu thin, blue sinoku it at\nonce turned a pale yellow.

In such un event the patron curses tho savages aad, wheu these\nlosses become too frequent, may return\non a punitive expedition; for labor is\nscarce in these remote districts, und the\nloss is economic, uot sentimental.\nFarther down the river is tho bar*\nraea of tho patron, a large clearing in\ntho forest back from tho bank of the\nriver. Here survives feudalism, and\njustice is administered according to the\nrough standards of his submissive domain.

With seventeen able bodied appetites in tho outfit, the noon hunt was\na necessity, and monkey thc most ac\ncessiblo game. If tliere ever seemed to\nbe a trifle too much, the Taoana crew\nwould rouse themselves during thc\nnight und have additional feasts, until\nby dawn tho supply was gone.

It was never more\nconscious than now of tho inequalities\nin tho distribution of wealth and opportunity and it has begun to see that\nmany of the measures adopted by thc\nLegislature for too special benefit of\nthe working classes carry with them\nconsiderable disadvantages. It is right,\nfor instance that omployors shuuld\ncompensate their workmen for accidents\nand injuries; but when tho result is\nlegalizing tho principle of compensation\nis to make it difficult for a middle-aged\nworkman either to keep or find a job,\ncan it be said that labor as a whoio is\ngreatly benefited? Another and more,\nimmediate cause of tho striko was undoubtedly tho excessive boat. Nothing\nlike it has been known in England for\na generation or more. Wo havo all\nboon wilted, irritable, inclined to be\nlazy, still more inelinod to magnify our\ngrievances and complain of our lot;\nand 1 have a good ileal of sympathy\nwith any ono doing manual work under\nau almost tropical sun, living iu a festering, sweltering slum, who feels tho\ntemptation to lay off for a whilo and\nvary tho routine of lifo by cracking a\npoliceman's skull. It is quite probable that if wo had a normally cool\nand rainy August tho discontent would\neither not have come to a head or\nwould have taken a far milder form.\nA prominent feature of thc crisis has\nbeen the testimony it hns borno to the\nincreasing solidarity and interdependence of labor. A strike formerly, and,\nas a rule, was confined to a single section of a single industry and was directed against a single employer. The\nother sections in the same industry, or\nthe same sections working for other\nmplovers, wore neither dragged into\nthe struggle nor felt any call to parti*\nipatc iu it. If the stevedores struck\nagainst one of tho dock companies,\nothor stevedores in the service of other\nand possibly neighboring dock companies might still remain at work without\nincurring reproach or running the risk\nnf being violently intimidated; aud because tho stevedores struck that was\nno reason why thc lightermen and carmen should follow suit. A strike used\nthus to be a strictly lucalized affair,\nTrouoe on one railroad did not necessarily imply trouble on ull railroads.\nThe porters, again, might strike while\nthe signal-men and engine-drivers would\nremain fnithiul. But we have learned\nonce nnd for all from the recent convulsions that those easy, haphazard\nmethods are obsolete. Labor nowadays is far better organized und far\nmore alive to tho value of unity and\ncohesion. The result is that we have\nscon men, with admittedly no grievances at ull, leaving their work and\nthrowing down their tools in order to\nshow tlieir sympathy with their fellow laborers who had struck for some\ndefinite cause. We have seen a strike\nnot ot sections or groups, hut of whole\nIndustries, Wo liave seen tho principle enforced that no one section or\ngroup could return to work until all\nSections and groups had been satisfied.\nThere is no necessary connection between dockers and railway men. But\nboth are engaged in the Inisiness of\ntransportation, and at Bristol Ihe phon*\nnmenon was witnessed of dockers, whose\ndemands hml been complied with, ro*\nfusing to go hack lo work heeause a\nsmall majority of them could not work\nwhilo the railway men were out on\nstrike, hi the same way ihe troubles\nat the London docks have been greatly\nprolonged because all sections, or almost all, hung together and would nol\nresume work so long as any section\nremained unappeusod. In the sunn* wuy,\nuguin, the men employed hy different\nrailroad companies have struck not because they had any grievance of their\nown, but GocnUSO men OUlplOYOd in other\ncapacities and by other mil roads had\nstruck. This is a very significant de\nvolopmont. It means that n strike\nngninsl particular employers quickly\nturns Into a strike against the community at large.\nAnother feature of tho disorders wns\nthe extent to which picketing was carried \"ii by the strlrton with a view\nboth nf coercing the faithful to COmO\nnut and to preventing the employment\nof \"scuh\" or \"hluckleg\" labor.\n11 Peaceful\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\" picketing is permitted by\nllriti-h law. That i-> to say, u striker\nmay '' peacefully\" persuade a non\nstriker to leave work. But in practice it wns found all over the, couutry\nthut this legnl permission resulted in\nthe grossest and most violent intimidation and was, indeed, one of the main\ncauses uf llie turmoil in the streets nnd\nof the continuance of the strikes. The\nquestion is if infinite difficulty\nWhorevor industrialism exists. On the\none hand, a man who desires, and is\nwilling to take, n vacant post ought, it\nis said, to be free to do so, and all the\npower of the state should be exercised\nto prevent liis liberty to choice tint! notion fn*m being taken nway. On the\nOthor hand a mun who steps into a job\nvncntOU hv a laborer ou strike is com\nmilling, from the itondpolnl of tho\nworking classes, the crime of crimes.\nlietween tl two nttltudos, when it\n1 linos to u struggle, there is litlle room\nfor compromise, It depends on the\nforce each can comma nil which sido\nWM 'I tils hrings me tn Ihe part play\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0I )\u00E2\u0096\u00A0> the government throughout the\nwhole, trouhlp. , .It ,vya,s omiijcutly firm-\nand eminently pacifying. Uardly one\nuf tho Innumerable disputes that hroku\nout was composed without the intervention of the oxporionced and universally\ntrusted officials of tho Board of Trade.\nThey worked untiringly and with wonderful success, and the advantage ac\ncm ing to the nation from the possession\nof a corps of gentlemen who aro acquainted with the technical details of\nnearly all industrios and who aro past\nmasters in tho art of ingominuthig\npeace botwoon workmon and employers\nwus never moro magniflcontly demon\nstruted. At the same time the gov\nornmont did not rely on negotiations\nalono. It took a decidod stand on tho\nnecessity of keoping tho railroads of\ntho country working to iusuro the con\nveyauco of tho mails and food supplies\nIt backed up tho pulico whon thoir con\nduct wus attacked in tho house aud tho\npress. Above, all, it called out tho\nmilitary. Ono had almost begun to\nfear that the moro robust virtues had\nboon swallowod up in tho lluhby. vote-\nhunting seiitimontutiuu that is swamping British public lifo. But the government, radical though it be, showod\nthat face to faco with a crisis it know\nhow to moot it. From first to last it\nused no less than fifty thousand soldiers in repressing riots and guarding\ntho railways, aad if the necessity hail\narisen it would havo used four times as\nmany.\nThoro aro two other points worth\ndwelling ou, The lirst is that the Labor members of parliament were tw much\nsurprised as tao rest of tho public by\ntlio extent and violence of the industrial unrest. They did not originate\nthc agitation nor could they control it.\nSo far as it was tho work of auy ono\nperson, the Labor leaders who havo always been bitterly opposed to tho notion of the Labor M.P.'fl and to tho\nwhole policy of labor representation iu\nParliament, ami who believe that\nfor the working classes thero is\nonly ouo really effective weapon \u00E2\u0080\u0094 tho\nunivorsal strike\u00E2\u0080\u0094wero responsible for\nit. This may mean, though I du not\nthink it will, that tne same sort of derision which already exists in Franco\nwill declare itself in England, und that\nlabor will be split up between those\nwho favor parliamentary agitation and\nthose who favor \"direct action. The\n\"direct nctiouists,'' us they call themselves, havo at any rato given a startling display of their power, and in doing so they have shown incidentally\nthat the majority of the Lubor M.IVs\nare entirely out of touch with tho special section of thc population they profess to represent. The second point\nwhich the disorders have strikingly emphasized is that '' collective bargaining\" which usod to be considered the\nstrongest point iu trade unionism is now\nfast becoming impossible, because the\nrank aud lile of trade unionists refuse\nto follow their leaders or to be bound\nby any agreements entered into in\ntheir namo. It was one of the express conditions of thc railroad settlement of 1907 tnat there should be no\nstrike until 1914, Nevertheless there\nhas been a strike. Similarly wheu\nthe terms on which the trade union\nleaders ami the railroad directors hud\npatched up a truce a few days ago were\nmade known, they were repudiated hy\nthe men in one railroad centre after\nanother. The same thing happened in\nthe case of the various interests affected by the trouble nt the docks. Thc\nphenomenon of strikes taking place\nagainst the advice of trade union leaders, of meu rejecting the terms of peace\nconcluded ou their behalf by their own\nexecutive, ami of lawlessness, inexperience, aad ia discipline triumphing in\nthe councils of trade unionism over\nresponsibility and common sense, is per\nhaps the most sinister development laid\nhare by the recent disorders. Unless\nit is cheeked it must infallibly bring\ntrade unionism clattering to the ground.\nWHAT'S IN A NAME?\nA mun can change his name wheu he\ngrows up, if an unkind parent has\nweighted him with something like\n\"Gatacro Majuba Bullcr,1' as at least\none child was christened during the\nBuer war. But a horse! Well, a horse\ncan only kick, hut ins name sticks.\nThe appearance of a blue blooded\nbaby foul oa this earthly sphere immediately sets sportsmen thinking out\na suitable name. Tho ideal name is, of\ncourse, a clever combination of those\nof the sire and dam, a name that will\nautomatically indicate the youngster's\npedigree.\n.Many horses get their names in quite\na haphazard way. Por instance. One\nAwny was so called because the son of\nIhe owner hnd a habit of calling this\nexpression out loudly every time he\ngave a miss at billiards,\nMany owners, too, hnve a craze for\nalliterative names, and these generally\nIind favor with the public. A tig\nthem mny he recalled Tommy Tittle\nmouse, the Inst mount of the most\nfamous \"t all jockeys, 1'red Archer.\nThen there wore those well known\nhorses, I'rotty Polly and Blink Bonny.\nSome yean ago ovoryotio wus talking\nabout Lord Ahingtou's I'ot 8*0'a, n\nhorse which won u number of races,\nami was sic of Iwo Derby wlnnon.\nLord Ahington offered one dny, when\non n visit to his trainer, one of thfl\nstable hoys llvo shillings if he could\nspell the name \" potatoes\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094-which he\nhad previously fixed upon\u00E2\u0080\u0094cor rertly\nThe ho\ wns puzzled for u minute, but\nHiking u piece of eliulk, lie scruwled on\nthe corn bin \"Pot-S-OV* which so\namused his lordship that he altered\nhis own spelling to suit the stable hoy's\nas well us giving him the five shillings\nfor his ingenuity.\n(Quarrelsome lovers may take a tip\nfrom the naming of Reconciliation,\nwhoso sire and dam were Love Wisely\nand Sulks! .\nother cleverly named\nhnr*.<\u00C2\u00AB was Chestnut Sunday, by Bush\ney Park and May Mace.

The sire\nwas Velasquez, named after the grout\nSpanish painter, and the dam wus Tor\npodo so un upter name could hardly\nhavo been choson.\nHis late Majesty King Edward VII.\nwas very particular about the christening of his horses, Thut famous horse,\nDiamond Jubilee, was so named at the\nexpress wish of 0_ueen Alexandra, in\ncommemoration of the jubileo of (\u00C2\u00BB>ueon\nVictoria. King Edward's tlrst Derby\nwinner, Persimmon, received its name\nby a simple combination uf those of his\nsire and dam, Ht.

Doncaster, which won the\nDerby, was the sire of Bend Or. Before ho carried off the classic raco, ho\nhad tho extraordinary and ridiculous\nname of Alt Heart and No Peel.\nSELFISH MAN\n.Man and selfishness aro considered\nsynonymous, and no one worries much\nabout it but tho immediate victims. Vet\nwhy should this utiluvnbio trait be winked at when maseulinu?\nA selfish woman is aa abomination;\nso is a selfish man, but he is not mnde\nto realize it. Instead of deploring ttie\nselfishness of men, light it. This may\nmenu ructions, but it will polish up masculine iiiunners.\nMen are not hum selfish, and it is the\nfault of somo one else that a nice man\nbecomes inconsiderate.\nWho is to blame? Generally every\none with whom the boy comes in contact. It is uot tho heatheu parent\nonly who is puffed with pride over tho\nman-child. No girl baby ever causes\nthe unctuous voice in which a young\nfather says, \"My BOUl\" Even the\nmother hns a longing that tho iitst\nhorn bo a boy.\nWhat follows? Spoiling. Ho is\ntreated liko a special being, though he\nmay be trained to actual obedience.\nLess is roqulrod of him, more is excused him, beeauso he is a boy. No\nwonder ho exacts attentions us a\nright,\nWhen the cook leaves, does brother\nwash dishes? Not he. He is at the\nball field or at ease iu a hummock\nwhile sister must put her hands into\ntho greasy dishwater.\nAnd the odd part of it is that, while\nlittle sister may murmur at hor un-\ngenial task, may eveu sulk or storm,\nshe docs not demand that little brother help.\nThe mother is to blame here. Why\nshould housework be considered derogatory to boyish dignity? Why should a\nman let a delicate young wife work\nalone whenever the cook is out? Ue\nwouldn't if the boy had been taught to\nhandle broom and duster, carpet beater,\nuud even dishwater every time the cook\nJeft.\nCustom may be responsible for this\nform of selfishness, but the new\nmothers must override this had custom.\nWhen a wife takes a hand it is too late;\n.selfishness is secure.\nIf mothers only realized thnt they\nwere training their sons for unhappi-\nnoss they would take more pains to\nmake them thoughtful. Half the un-\nhappiaesK in marriage is caused by n\nselfish husband.\nOne girl who visited iu tho home of\nher fiance a month before the wedding\nbroke her engagement. She loved the\nman, but not enough, sbe said, to be\nthe slave to him that his mother nnd\nsisters were.\nIf in a family aay one must give\nup, make sacrifice, it should be the\nboy of the house. Girls are not so\neasily spoiled; it is their nature to\nlavish attention on loved ones, and\nthey will not make worse wives for\nexpecting unselfishness in a husband.\nA man will not be a prig because he\ncan think of his mother and sister.\nHe'll make a much better husband and\nfather than if he cultivated his muscles\numl brain and let his heart be atrophied\nwith selfishness and thc tradition that a\nman shouldn't help in the house.\nBREEDING BUTTERFLIES\nThe business of raising butterflies is\nproving profitable to several persons in\nthis country and abroad. Costly specimens are grown to satisfy the whims of\ncollectors, and these earn fat prices for\nthe breeder. When the \"butterfly\nman\" grows a phenomenon he occasionally doubles, triples, or even quadruples\nhis income. One rare species is that\nhaving threads of black or chestnut\nover a white or yellow wing, ench\nspecimen bringing from $50 to $80.\nBpenking gOllorally, however, more pro\nlit is iu tiie common thun in the rare\nvarieties. A butterfly which is white\neven where but at the neck is favored;\ntins sells in enormous quantities at ten\ncents apiece, sixty Cents per dozen he\ning paid for the worms, and forty cents\nper dozen for the eggs. The buyers\nure mostly students or directors of col\nleges where natural history is tuught,\numl their orders ure, in comparison with\nthose of the collectors of rare kinds,\nfrequent ami large, As the principal\nfood of the bulterlly is the nettle, violet, or heart'sense, the outlay is at no\ntime expensive. The principal care\nlies In lho cultivation of the worms.\nThe best of theso are kept in glass\ncages or in cages of line copper wire,\nsecurely closed; but others live on garden shrubs covered with muslin sacks\nwhich are su arranged as to be unfolded like an umbrella held top down.\nThis is important to avoid mutilating\nbranches or losing worms, The cages\nare put on a tablo the legs of which\nare encased in tubs of water as a pre\ncaution against preying insects. Portable winter quarters for the growth of\nplants for \"the stock\" to food on, are\nfurnished by a wash tub tilled wilh\nearth and plants, covered by a table\ntop with a hole cul in tho centre, aad\nsurmounted hy n gln**s case.\nThe grower has to study times and\nseasons in renewing his Specimens; then\nhe proceeds to paint on Ihe hark of\nIrees what serves as a sugar trap. This\nIn a mortar composed of sugar, dregs\nof honey, rum, beer, and essense of pear,\nboiled. The trap is a vertical line\nabout Ihe length and Width of a yard-\n_tie\"k', threo feet from the ground, whoro\nthe butterflies come to food at nightfall, and upon stormy mid vory dark\nnights by preference.\nThe hunter provides himself with numerous smull boxes, with willow tops.\nA man with a dark lantern accompanies\nhim, nnd tho light must bo suddenly\nprojected upon tho sugurod area and as\nnearly as possible cuticentrutcd un the\nfringe where the feeding is going on.\nManaged in this way, the butterfly\nseems at no time able to get away.\nTho hunter holds his box bo as to catch\nthe object no is after without injuring\nits wings. Ho sometimes visits a hundred trees a night and reaps a rich\nharvest.\nTHEFTS FROM THE LOUVRE\nIu thc window of tho Paris Journal\noilier in an ancient Phoenician statuette\nbearing a painfully modern inscription\nto the effect that it was stolen from\nthe Louvre on May 7, As it has been\nidentified by the curator uf tho Louvre,\nwo aro justified In believing tho whoio\nof the story told by tho polite and communicative thief, who regrets that out\nof the many articles taken by him from\nthe galleries this is the only one that\nlie is able to restore.\nTho Journal wishes it to be understood that it is not propnrod to purchase\neverything that has heen stolen from\ntho Louvre. It has neither the money\nnor the storage space for such a purpose. Its original offer wus u reward\nof $10,000 for tllO \"Oiocondu\" and \"no\nquestions asked.\" This offer produced\na letter from llie thief of the statuette,\nwho wus willing lo restore it at his\nown price, nml as Ihe proprietors of the\nJournal thought that it would make a\ngood object lesson they paid tho money\nand put the StnttlottO in their window.\nThe unnamed ami unknown thief snys\nlhat he begun to steal from the Louvre\nin March, 1007, It WI18 simplicity it.\nself. It was so easy us to be tame uml\nmonotonous. It was like taking candy\nfrom a baby. lie made a goml deal of\nmoney by it, and so paid a visit to\nAmerica.

But to his consternation he\nfound that he had com pot 1 tors, Most\nof tho accessible and portable objects\nhad already been taken, but nevertheless he acquired a female bust nearly\nas big us himself and the Phoenician\nstatuette. It took him twenty minutes\nto got away with tho bust under his\novercoat, and now that tho \"Qioconda\"\nhas beeu stolen he foreseos that thore\nwill ho combinations in restraint of\ntrade and that he must abandon his\nidea of a private collection ur else acquire it in some othor way. And in\nconfirmation of his story thoro in tho\nJourUal window is the Phoenician stnt*\nuetto idoatifiud by tho curator as tbe\nproperty of the Louvre.\nANCIENT BUILDINGS IN DECAY\nAmong the many ancient buildings\nin Vienna which are iast falling prey\nto tho modern builder is one of particular interest to the medical faculty. It\nis situated in tho Wolhburggasse, in the\nhoart of tho old city, aad datos back to\ntho fourteenth century, It was thon\ntho House of tho Medical Faculty, and ,\nin it took plnce tho first legal dissection of a human body in central Europe. Emperor Frederick had decreed\nfor the purposes of medical science a\nhuman body might bo cut open only\nunco in llvo years. An Italian physician, Galoaro of Padua, brought the nrt\nnf anatomy to Vienna, and performed\nthe first dissection in this house on\nFebruary 12th, 1404, The work continued eight days, ami afler it wus ended all the participants joined in a high\nmuss for tin* soul of the departed.\nFurther dissections took place in the\n(If toon tli cenlnry, but only five In\nvicuna, in the year 1418, 1444, 14BB,\n1400 and 1400, * Until 1408 only male\nbodies were allowed to ho dissected.

While the ruthless\nslaughter of game is steadily reducing\nilu* number ot animals available fur the\ninhle, the governmental ami private\nvariety*makers aro adding every yenr\nto the list of culinary vegetables anil\nfruits, A century ago thoro wns only\none grnpe, \"the wretched fox-grape,\"\nthut found its wny to our markets.\nThere wero then no cuntuloupes, no\ntomatoes\u00E2\u0080\u0094for which there is ho astou*\ntshing a craving In Urns country\u00E2\u0080\u0094no\nrhubarb, okra, cauliflower, egg plant,\nhoad*lottueo, asparagus, artichokes, or\nninny of tho othor vegetables now listed\nin ihe catalogue of our Boodsinon.\nWhile we have now a much groutor\nvariety, most of tho vegetables uml\nfruits wo oat aro capable of groat Improvement in succulence and flavor, anil\nIt is in lliis dlroctloil, even more than\niu the creation or Importation nf new\nkiuuH. that the wny of progress lies.\niThe future of eating lies largely in llm\nbands of the men who arc giving our\nvegetables and fruits \"u college oducation,'\" uh .Mark Twain would suy. The\nIgroatost of these is Luther Burbnnk,\nwho is likely to become the patron\nHuint of opicuros. Tim horticultural\nexpert. Professor Bailey, of Cornell\nUulvorslty, after remarking In one of\nhis bonks that in 180- there were 878\nvarieties of apples oll'ered for snle by\nnurserymen, expresses liis doubts if one\nof them wus the result of nn attempt to\nproduce a variety with delinite qualities. Now, it is right here that Uur*\nbank differs from must other experimenters who have given us new or improved varieties. While they trusted\nto chance, he hnd iu his mind in advance what he wanted and, like Ellison,\nkept on experimenting till he got it.\nlie hns produced, to cite his own words,\n\"several millions of new fruits . . In\nthe constant effort to eliminate faults\numl substitute virtues.\" Only the very\nbest of these, of course, were saved for\nfurther improvement. He hns created\nsome entirely new fruits, such as the\nplumcot, the ancestors of whieh were\na wild plum, nn apricot and a .lapaucsu\nplum; but of even greater gastronomic\n| importance is the Improvement be has\n{effected in thc flavor of many familiar\n[fruits and vegetables by selection and\nhybridizing. Tbo Burbnnk potatoes, for\nj instance, bave a richness of flavor as\nagreeable und unique as his Patagonia\nstrawberry, which can be freely eateu\nby those with whom thc ordinary acid\nberries disagree. His new varieties of\nI cherries, plums, prunes, and diverse berries arc equally tempting to epicures,\n(While Mr. Burbnnk also breeds for size,\nbeautiful color, form, and keeping and\nshipping qualities, he puts flavor at tho\nhead of the list, knowing thut without\nit thc other qualities arc a delusion.\nHe would never have sent to the market\ncertain showy, hut insipid upples, pears,\nand peaches.\nPlant-breeding for thc benefit of epicures is now being carried on on a largo\nscale by private growers and also by\nGovernment experts, among whose most\nnotable achievements are the taugelo\nand thc citrangc, thc one a combination\nof grapefruit nnd tangerine, thc other\nof the common sweet and tbe trifoliate\norange, Hurbitnk, who has shown what\nseeming miracles can be accomplished\nin this direction by breeding, for example, the odor of a Parma violet into\nu scentless cnlla, urges plant breeding\non all who have the opportunities therefore, because of the fascination of tbe\nwork, its benefits to health, aud the possible uscfu. results.\nbe remedied depends largely upon the\npossibility of bringing these distances\nbetween tbe feet back to tho normal,\nwhich can ho done provided the fault of\nan open or close locomolton behind Is\nnot u matter of a faulty construction\nor conformation of the hind quarters.\nin all excessive approach of fore and\nhind feet and their consequent Interference we should not entirely work on\nthe bind feet, but should also consider\nthe fore feet as being somewhat responsible for too great a backward extension and vicious curves of motion.\nFor Instance, trotters that paddle and\npacers that hit Ihelr knees arc both\nsubject to such an interference wllh\nthe hind feet. Tho remedies for cross-\nfiring are mainly obtained by modifying the Inward curves as In the previous defects discussed, and by controlling or rather by developing the\nhind action by shoes that bring about\nslightly more elevation and backward\nextension of the hind legs.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nTho fundamental idea underlying all\nthe remedies for thc defects iu gait is\nto counteract the wrong direction of\nmotion by a correction which hus more\nor less the elicit of sending the leg in\nnn opposite direction. The direct ions\ntaken to inside or outside nre duo to\nIeither a badly leveled honf or to a\ncrooked leg, and Ihe directions forward\nor backward depend on the length ol\ntoo and the angle of the foot.

In such a caso the remedy will\nagain have to be adjusted to tho resulting change so thut no damage bo done\nby retaining tho original remedy too\nlung. In other words, by such a correction a gradual change wus brought\nabout in tbe tissues of tbc muscles and\ntendons, and as these tissues supply tho\nnecessary strengthening, the gait wilt\nhe changed for thu better. In all such\nInvestigations of faulty gaits some sort\nof proof is at nil times necessary to\nshow the origin of Ihe defect and tbe\neffect of Ihe applied remedy. Without\nsuch a proof in blncl. nud white us the\nvnriou measurements of the distances\nbet we. ii the four feet furnish one can\nnevei in* fully convinced of Ihe correct*\niicss or the effectiveness of tlm remedy.\nA vicious out wurd direction of tho\nen tin on bono duo lo u wrong or oblique\niirI i 'libit ion of the knee joint will result in the \"toeing out\" of the foot\nitself.

That is\nto sny, fin* fool will travel in an in*\nwurd curve toward the othor leg. The\nremedy lies in widening the distuiieo\nbetween lho two fore feel by slightly\ni raising the outside half of each foot,\n| and by canning uu easy breakover on\nOUtsldo toe of shoe. Por thut purpose\nthe OUtSldO well nf (he BllOQ mny be\nbeveled or rounded und a bur or two\ncnlks mny be set Inward outside toe.\nThis outs!do breakover will somewhat\nforce Ihe foot to '' toe in'' slightly,\nthus counteracting the outward dlroo-\nI tion before observed and usually result-\nling in a much reduced curve Inward tbe\n| inside. Tbc angle of the foot as it is\nset down ou the ground is not so outward uud tbe breakover appears on the\nsoil as coming less at the inside nud\n! more at the outside of tho too proper.\n| Making the shoe a little wider or even\nheavier on the outside will bring about\n| less sinking in nnd hence a more elevated position of foot, nnd a roll on tbo\noutside toe and toward heel will also\nhelp the Intended breakover there. The\nsimple principle involved in such n\ncase is the reduction of tbo Inward\nswing of the curve resulting invariably\nfrom a breakover nt the Inside of tho\ntoe. Of course iu all cases thc paring\nof thc hoof is the first thing to attend\nto, nnd here the lowering of outside\ntoe, leaving the outside heel, and again\nlowering thc inside heel and leaving\nthe inside toe, will in itself aid in giving the foot ami leg a better direction.\nTheso manipulations require delicacy\nami unless such is applied the changes\nhnd better he made in tho shoe itself\nafter trimming thc foot down to a perfect level.\nMnclyn Arbuckle hns a country place\nnnd likes to regale his friends nt tbo\nLambs' Club witb wonderful stories of\nfarm life, and whenever he begins to\ntalk on this subject is always nssucd\nof an interested coterie of Ustonors.
