BARBAROUS PRAC'r10111+'.
One of the strongest shades of local
color distinguishing Japanese . chiv-
alry from that of western nations, is
the practice "harakiri — Suicide by
the painfl1 process of disembowel-
mclrt, which was extensively prac-
tised by samurai criminals, who were
thus graciously permitted to destroy
themselves Instead of being handed
over to the common .executioner.
This barbarous practico is also pre-

of his ancestors at the temple of
Saitokuji, In Tokyo, leaving behind
him, after the usual routine in such
mases, a document in which he set
forth the 1.01180116 for his act. The
document was directed to be for-
warded to a news agency for publi-
cation in all the Tokyo newspapers
rind it set forth that the suicide of
the writer was designed to call at-
tention to the danger of Russian en-
croa.chnnents in the northern portion
of the Japanese empire:
CUSTOM DYING OUT.
'To -day, however, harakiri has fal-
len into comparative disuse and the
samurai is very often a policeman or
a jinrikisha coolie: Occasionally,
however, /lashes of the old spirit
break out.
Two policemen and a woman were
murdered recently in Sakai, a sub-
urb of Osaka city, by a ragman, 5.
Keane, who was formerly a Samurai.
His son, Inosuka, assisted in the
deed. Tho atlair grew out of what
might have ' been passed by as a

of the father became aroused when
the honor ,of his family was attack-
ed and ho rebuked his neighbors, but
in the war of .words that followed he
proved no match for the envenomed
tongue of ,Mrs. Yamanouve.
FIVE MET DEATH.
Determined to wash out the lnstilt
in blood, the father and son, both
good swordsmen, dressed themselves
*in samurai costume and burst .. into
the house of their slanderous neigh-
bors. :Y;runanouyel and his wife, wore
astounded• at the invasion 'end thre-
ad to escape. The woman,: however,
was literally rut to pieces in a few
moments. Res 'husband got away
and ran to a police alarm box. The
father and sown ran after him, but,
encountering two policemen, who
barred the way, killed them both.
By this time tt largo body of police
arrived on the scene and the mur-
derers disappeared. Later they were
found dead in a corner of a neigh-
boring street. They had committed
suicide by the -time-honored method
of harakiri.
A DANDY -LION STORY.

Immo . on a visit he delighted to spin
his "tall" yarns about his experi-
ences in Africa. The hunting of wild:
lions was his speciality — how ile
could shoot them, how he could go
out and be sure of finding 000, etc.,
nod he generally wound up by say-
ing he never yet saw a lion he fear-
ed.
Ono night, after he had finished
yarning, 110 was a little taken back
by one of his audience, who said:
"!'hat's nothing. I have lain
down and actually slept among lions
111 their \wild, enteral state."
"I don't believe that. I'm no

omenld. General business prosperity
has led to an active enquiry for
drivers and terra horses in the coun-
try, and for all kinds of harness
horses, .heavy drayghts, express
horses, heavy draughts, express
cities. The lumber business. being
exceptionally brisk, a large number
of homy horses are required in the
numerous logging camps. heavy
draughts are easily worth $400 a
team : these must be from 1,500 lbs
up, and are wanted as heavy as pos-
sible. Express horses are generally
end single, must be active and able
to trot with a good load. They
should weigh from 11200 to 1,500
1bs., and worth about $1.50. Ordin-
ary streetors for delivery waggons,
hacks, etc„ vary in size, style,
action, weight and age. Drivers,
carriage horses and saddle horses
sell largely according to style, action
and manners, and will run from
$125 to $800.
WHAT T1FE WEST CAN SUPPLY.
In Manitoba and thefarming sec-
tions of the Northwest Territories
there has beenand will be noxt
spring a good demand for )torsos,
medium and heavy, for farm work
and railway construction, also driv-
ers for liverymen and farmers; There.
hasalso been a good - trade in In-
dian ponies, used for, herding, driv-
ing or ' for children to ride to
school. Of all the various classes,
the West, viz :the western portion o1
the Territories and the interior of
British Columbia—can supply O0111 -
putatively few .over the.1,000 pound
limit, the few horses,, over that
weight being not much more than
will supply local' demands, But of
;horses about that weight there arc
large numbers of useful, hardy horses
with excellent bone, which at present
prices it will pay to ship, but the
market must not ,bo overdone at
any time,
To Ontario and Manitoba a largo
number of Western ponies of a very
poor class have been shipped. These
shipments have injured the reputa-
tion of Western horses, and have led
the Ontario man inparticular to
believe that there is nothing bettor
in the West than the untameable
broncho stock and at the present.

AS GENTLE AS ANY.
In our recent shipment of Western
horses to Toronto, people came to
the :stables :and poked the horses
with umbrellas, etc., and while not
critieisiing' the reasonableness of such
actions, elle fact remains that the
horses tools the treatment with
.equanimity,
The question of whether or not the
Horses should be broken brings up a
number of points, In Manitoba and
the Territories some people aro sue-
910iot18 of broken horses,' as they
know that the horse ranenor as a
rule breaks few horses, and they
think there may he something wrong
with anything broken that is offered
for sale.
A fat horse will sell much: better
than one! out of condition. If the
horses aro to ho broken it must be
sten to that when they 00711e to be
shipped they a,re in good condition,
as this may cn,..l, mean a difference
of $80 per head. In handling a
bunch of horses it le necessary, in
order to keep down ex901180s and to
prevent loss of condition, to put
them on the market n.s quickly as.
possible from the time they leave
their pasture, as every extra day
means loss of money.
The ciccomxnodation on the (3,P,R.
is none too gond, the condition of
some of the yardsalong the lino
being bad, and the service west of
Oalgary slow. East of Calgary
stock trains matte goodtime and
are handled tvell, and quickly as a
rule. The ,C.P.R. authorities have
always shown a disposition to assist
the live stock men in every way, and
suitable provision will no doubt be
mole immediately to handle this new
line of trade. Cheaper hay should
be provided at moat of the leading
points. Eighteen to twenty dollars
per ton is too much to charge for
hay, and in consoquonce the larger
dealers purchase their own. There is
every reason to expect that the
trade in horses will continue and
grow. The West can raise horses
cheaper than the Eest and of OS
good quality. For this reason the
west can look forward t0 the pro-
fitable export of horses, as well ns
beef, but it is more probable that
the Eastern dealer will do the
BREAKING AND EDUCATING,
and he will find the profitable mar-
kets for the best of these horses,
when thoroughly broken, in the cities
of the East and of the Old Country.
This will leave to the rancher the
business of raising horses, supplying
his :local rnarket and making regular
shipments to some reliable auc-
tioneer in the East. In the West the
nim should be to grow 'a bettor and
heavier class of horses, Tho draft
breeds are the safest, in„ the Clydes
and -Shires, starting with 'a 1,500
pound sire and usinga heavier ani-
mal as the herd is improved, in or-
der
der t0 avoidtoo violent crosses, Tho
foals should be weaned' and fed the
first winter, as this will improve
their size and will make them quieter
and easier to handle, It willalso
pay to halter break there the first
wi ltterr.
In short, taking into consideration
present prices, horse raising should
justify the adoption of business
methods. Good horses, will always
sell in preference to poor ones, and
good ones cost but little more to
raise, practically only the difference
in tho service fee of the sire.

"THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING
LIES IN THE EATING."
The doctors are dumbfounded, the
druggists astonished, and the people
excited and joyful over the wonder-
ful cures and tremendous sales of
the groat remedy, St. Jacobs 011.
Every case of Rheumatism some of
many years' standing—has given way
to this powerful remedy. Thousands
of certificates like the following can
be furnished as to its value :
George Scloyer,' publisher .of the
Chilton, Wis., "Volksbote," used St.
Jacobs Oil for "almost -unbearable
pains in the back, which had com-
pletely prostrated hint." A few ap-
plications cured him entirely.
Mrs. Fred. Eberle, Bellaire, 0.,
was for a long time severely trou-
bled with Rheumatism. St. Jacobs
Oil instantly relieved and entirely
cured her,
Rev. Dr. 13. Pick, of Rochester,
N.Y., suffered so intensely from
Rhoamatic pains that ho was unable
to preach. Several applications from
a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil "relieved
him."
1F, Redder, .Cleveland, Ohio, says :
—"Two applications of St. Jacobs
Oil cured me of great and long -con-
tinued pain in my foot."
Messrs. C. L. Brundage and Son,
druggists, Muskegon, Mich., write
—"St. Jacobs 011 has a wonderful
rria+ We sold eight bottles at re-
tail yesterday. This will give you
some idea of how well it is liked in
this section."
Mr. Louis Minkel,, of East Poesten,
Kill, N,Y„ says —"I.call St Jacobs
Oil the Bost liniment I ever used.
It cured me of 1 110uma118m and path
in the back."
Herman Rittner, Manchester, N.11,:
—"I have tried St. Jacobs Oil, and
found it excellent, All those who
have purchased it speak: of it as
simply incomparable,' "
Goo. G. Erlfle, Palestine, Ill. :—"I
was in bed suffering from a swollen
leg. I used St. Jacobs Oil, its ef-
fect was wonderful. The following
day I attended to my business
again."
Dr. Otto Fuls, Reacting, 0.,
writes :—"The sale of St..Tacobs
Oil is constantly increasing ; it is
praised by everybody, and never
fails to give entire satisfaction."

CRASIT LIKELY TO OCCUR.
Cement Market Said to Be in
Unstable Condition.
A remarkable article appeared in
the issue of December 12th of the
Monetary Times'on the state of the
cement market in Canada and the
crash that is likely to follow' upon
the formation of so malty new eon'
panics.
The Canadian production of ce-
went in 1001 was 445,000 barrels,
the imports were in that year 560,.
000, mating in all 045,000 barrels.
in 1002 the total output in Canada
had risen to 815,000 barrels, and
the imports 480,000 barrels, a total
supply on the market of 1,801,000
barrels,
The article then goes on to show
that whereas the market is growing
at a normal rate, the supply will
have risen to an alarming figure,
The estimated production for 1003
of the nine factories in operation
last year will be 1,015,000 barrels,
In addition to this the live new mom,
ponies that are setting up in On-
tario are estimated to produce 825,-
000 barrels, Thus the output of On-
tario is likely to be well over
000,C4'(i barrels. The new factories
opening in Quebec and Manitoba
bring the Canadian output of cement
to about 3,000,000 barrels. As the
demand is about 1,200,000 barrels,
one can easily imagine that the tre•
mendcus excess of production over
demand is likely to cause a crash in
the market that will be fatal and
far -reach ing.
The collapse that has occurred in
the German market (where cement
is selling at 20 per cent. below cost
price) through the number of far-
tories rushing into the business, is
pointed out as a warning to Cana-
dians to go slowly and be sure of
the demand before building costly
factories end producing three times
as numb cement as they can sell.
Falmouth is probablytheoldest
port in England. It was used by
the Phoenicians at least 2,500 years
ago.
