Don't be constantly washing white -legged horses when dirty or muddy; brush off instead when dry. Don't leave the shoes on for months, but have them removed, even if not worn out, every month or six weeks. Don't feed Iarge quantities of maize or beans during hot weather. Don't give damaged forage of any kind, as this is a. frequent cause of gripes. Don't race a young horse on the hard roads, unless you want to cause, splints, ringbones, etc. Don't give food at irregular in- tervals, as the stomach is small, and no horse can be kept in condi- tion unless fed at stated times. Don't forget that it is the pace that kills, not the distance, Don't expect more than 120 to 140 miles a week regularly on the road. Don't tease, as vicious horses are made, not born.

A large firm in Paris, France, is hard at work just now carrying out a big order for a new patent mat- tress, whioh is said to be unsink- able. This raft -like bedding is filled with a vegetable material which is not only light and soft and supple, but cannot sink. Each of these new mattresses will, therefore, consti- tute an admirable little raft in the case of shipwreck, As every pas- senger must have a mattress while on board ship, it is held that this new invention should be invaluable as performing the double duty of supporting him in his slumbers, and if need be of bearing him on the surface of the sea. It is stated that several large shipping com- panies have decided to replace the bedding on their vessels by mat- tresaes of the new type. A FOOD DRINK Which Brings Daily Enjoyment. A lady doctor writes "Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few min- utes to tell of my enjoyment daily obtained from my morning cup of Postum. It is a food beverage, not an irritant like coffee. "I began to use Postum 8 years ago, notbecause I wanted to, but B, because coffee which I clearly loved, made my nights long, weary periods to be dreaded and unfitted me for business during the day." Tea 18 ,just as injurious as coffee, because the drug, caffeine, is found in both tea and coffee.. "On advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as suggested on the package. As I had always used "cream and no sugar," I mixed my Postum ao. It looked good, was clear and frag- rant, and it, was a pleasure to see, the cream calor it as my Kentucky friend wanted her coffee to look— 'like a new saddle.' "Then I tastedit critically, for I had tried many 'substitutes' for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satis- fied with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years. I contin- ually assure my friends and ac- quaintances that they will like ib in piece of coffee, and receive benefit from its use. 1 have gained weight, can sleep and am not nervous." ]same given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

Heartrending and revolting are the horrors charged against the Bulgarian soldiery by Mr. E. Ash - mead -Bartlett in The London Daily Telegraph. He has visited those areas which have been in the hands of Bulgaria since the outbreak of the war, and now arraigns King Ferdinand's troops before Europe as the authors of crimes which might well put to the blush a na- tion of gavages. Murder and vio- lation are described as common- places of life under the rule of the modern Vandals. Arda, says the correspondent, has been occupied by the Bulgarians ever eine the commencement of the War, and has in consequence borne the full brunt of the invaders' barbarity and ex- tortion, It was only evacuated on the outbreak of the war with Ser - via, and the Iast Bulgarian detach - rants left the district when the Tnrks advanced on Adrianople. The country was formerly highly proaperous; it is well watered, and the soil is particularly fertile. A. Wilderness. On leaving Adrianople I found that, in spite of its enjoying every advantage from nature, I was pass- ing through a deserted wilderness. It seemed as if a blight or plague had swept the land, and that an earthquake, followed by fire, had destroyed the villages. The first place through which I passed was Oorekkoj. It formerly had some 1,500 inhabitants. The majority were Museulmans, but there was also a fair sprinkling of Greeks. Of the houses only two remain, and they were spared because. they be- longed to Bulgarians. I have never seen such complete and wanton de- struction. Nearly the whole of the male population are dead, for the Bulgarian soldiers killed off the men from day to day, shooting them surreptitiously when they had gone to work in the fields, in order to have uninterrupted access to the women and young girls, hardly one of whom escaped violation. Beds of Ashes. I then came to the village of Doudzaros, which was also com- pletely destroyed by fire. Isere I found no inhabitants except a cou- ple of old hags, who, like the witch- es in "Macbeth," wore lurking among the ruins, jabbering in an insane manner, their minds having given way. It would be useless re- petition for me to describe each vil- lage through which I passed in de- tail, because each has exactly the same appearance, namely, that of a bed of ashes, I will merely name One or two, notably J K'ormul and Simenli, which were both formerly rich and prosperous. Then I came to the village of Samana, at which I stopped, because it possesses a well which will occupy almost as tragic a place in history as the his- toric well of Cawnpore. From this well were taken the bodies of 51 Turkish men, who, after being frightfully mutilated, were thrown in there to die. Samaria is abso- lutely deserted. The horror of this deserted spot fills the survivors with superstitious fears. Desolation. I then passed on through mile after mile of similar desertion, de- struction and desolation until I came to the village of Ortakeui, which is the principal town in the vil ay et from which it takes its name. . . Now I will relate exactly what the Bulgarians havo done in this ono district of Orta- keui. The facts cannot be disputed. They are open for anyone or for any impartial tribunal to investi- gate, On entering the district one Colonel Paulcho Apostoloff, of Ta - tan Pazaudjikl was appointed as Governor. This gentleman was not only a savage, but also a religious fanatic of the stamp of the renown-. ed Torquedmeda. I have no space here to explain .the religious differ- ences which cause the Greeks and Bulgarians to hate cite another far more than either dislike the Mo- hammedan faith. Took l"very Cent, To Colonel Paulaho Apostoloff all Mohammedans and all Creeks were equally repulsive. He believed that so long as a member of either of these creeds remained in the dis- trict to which he had been appoint- ed Governor he could not kneel with a clear conscience at the altar of his God. He therefore decided on a compulsory conversion and re - baptism of the entire population. But, before embarking on the spir- itual salvation of his unwilling flock ho decided to relieve them of their purely material possessions, doubt- less thinking that soil well watered with material despair would yield a more willing crop, of converts to the E-.archato. In the room in which we were gathered was a safe. The lock had been.forced, and it had the appearance of having been bro- ken open. In this safe the inhabi- tants of Ortakeui, a, village of 5,00 inhabitants and 900 houses, fearing the :roublcd times in which they lived, had stored their entire wealth, to the total value of £57,- 000. Colonel Apostoloff forced the sate, 1ook every penny of ahie mon- ey and handed the inha iteuts a receipt which has just about as much value as one of those far- famed Confederate notes whioh are still to be found in the United States. The officers and soldiers entered the private houses and took anything they fancied. General Massacre. Then commenced the Colonel's great work of converting the Mo- hammedan population to Christian- ity and the Greek population to an acknowledgment of the Exarohate. Ho announced his intentions in no uncertain terms, "I am determin- ed to kill you all off or to make you good Bulgarians," were his words. "You can take your choice." At this time the Colonel seems to have felt some qualms of conseience about killing the Greeks, because, after all Greece was fighting in a common cause with the Bulgarians, and therefore but few wore slain. But his troops proceeded to kill off the Turkish male population with- out hesitation. The men were shot or bayonetted, and the women and children handed over to the tender mercies of the Bulgarian soldiers. I em assured that hardly a female between the ages of 7 and 70 re- mains in the whole district of Or- takeui who has not been outraged. A Changed Race. The correspondent then passed on into the village of Kotchach, where not a single woman, what- ever her age, had escaped viola- tion, all of whom had lost their husbands, The Turkish women in these districts no longer wear the veil. They no longer try to hide their faces from the camera and avoid a European when he endea- vors to approach and talk to them. All the laws of the, Prophet have been thrown to the winds in the face of the realities of the last eight months. They are like a changed race, Their one cry was for "help 1" Their one prayer that Europe, that civilization, might hear and deliver them.

After reading the speeolacs ape. the papers at the Medical CongresE. olio gets the impression that the outlook for the medical profession is gloomy, indeed. One deadly dts- easo after another has been tack- led and overthrown. Discovery follows discovery, each more bril- liant than the last, and fraught with greater benefit to inank/ed. It takes a whole week of reading and talking to describe the wonder- ful things that clocltors have been doing in all parte of the world merely within the last twelve mouths. Obviously, there must Boon be no more worlds to conquer. Every one will havo been cured and no more doctors will bo wanted. It is pathetic to see the crowded ranks of the now generation of Bob Saw- yers and to reflect that in a few years their occupation will be gone.

Modern letter -writing involves more superfluous forms than the an- cients used. There was an admira- ble directness and brevity in the Roman method of correspondence, as we can• see from the letters of Cicero. He began most of his communica- tions in this manner: "To Sextilius Rufus, Quaestor," or "To Aeilius, Proconsol" ; and when he had fin- ished his letter, he usually stopped with the simple "Vale." Some- times, when he was writing to his daughter, to bis brother, or to his favorite secretary, Tiro, he would say at the end, "Again I bid you farewell," or "Farewell, and con- tinue to love me." But nine letters in ten he began with the name of the person addressed, and ended with the single word "Farewell," Sometimes` a Roman citizen who had received a great favor from a superior would put an expression of thanks at the end of his letter, as when Marcus Mareellue says to Cicero "I shall • try to convince you that you have conferred your good offices upon one who is most sin- cerely and warmly your friend. Farewell." But this is an unusual- ly long formula for a Roman. During medieval times a more e laboriter fo m of letter -writing flourished, and it eventually grew into a most extravagant mode of epistolatory homage, that prevailed until the beginning of the nine- teenth century. Our forefathers were es cere- monious and elaborate in their let- ters as they were in their drawing - room manners, Thus, in 1762, Wil- liam Pitt concludes a letter to the mayor of Norwich thus: "I am, with truest respect and unalterable attachment, sir, your most obedient and obliged humble servant." But even this was moderate coin. pared with the forms often used in addressing persons of :high rank and royalty. In writing to Frederick the Great, in 1771, d'Alembert oon- i eludes a letter in this style: "Be pleased to accept, eire, with your usual goodness, the ardent prayers I offer up for the preservation of your precious life and for the pros- perity of your undertakings, and that you may enjoy that glory and happiness which Your Majesty so much merits. With those senti- ments, as well a$ with the tenderest and most profound respect, which I shall to the last maintain, I am, sire, of Your Majesty the most hum. Me and affectionate servant." 5, • Wife (drearily) ---"Ah, me.

There are at present in use in all countries a total of 1,161.911 motor vehicles. Of those, 1,024,913 were automobile, and 136,995 motorcycles. The U. S. loads with 628,185 motor v0• Melee.

He had once been a fine, robust soldier, but after serving his coun- try faithfully throughout a long war, had become greatly reduced in weight owing to exposure and scanty rations until he was as weak as a child. Arriving home one of his old friends rushed up to him. "Well, well, Pat," was his greet- ing. "Oi'm might glad to see you're back from the front," Pat looked worried. "Begone:, Oi knew 01 was gettin' thin," he said; "but Oi nivver thought you cud see that much." Nicknames of Royalty. "Drums" is the latest nickname of Prince Arthur of Connaught, and he answers to it quite oontentedly. It was bestowed upon him by a bro- ther officer in the Scots Grays on tho aound reasoning that "drums and fifes must go together." Years ago the late Duke of Edinburgh was known to his friends by the extra- ordinary, nickname of "Blazer." From childhood the Queen of Nor- way has been "Harry" to her fam- ily and friends, Perhaps the most uncomplimentary nickname of all is "Blue Monkey," by which a titled diplomat is known through- out society.

As it was, this yottug suitor found no small favor 1n my lady',s eyea. As they passed under the arch- way he began telling the story cf his love. Softly the opening words `full, alternately swelling and dying away as with the rhythm of music; trilled now with the pathos of tears Kind now with the ripples of glad- ness and exultant youth, The charmed ear of the girl listened in twain for a jarring note, and when the end came 18 reminded her of the last note of a perfect song. At last, too, he folded her close with the unerring grime of a "best sel- ler" hero, and dropped a lingering kiss full open her lips. Then for the first time doubt en- tered the arbor, and there flashed through the girl's eonscioueness the impossibility of such perfection without past experience. Almost involuntarily she ,put up both hands and pushed the man from her, "Wait," she murmured. Miss Abbot's next dance was with a comparative nonentity, and the 'next and the next, and she was grateful, for it gave her time to think. But the fourth was with a man ae, grey at the temples, and with fine little lines about the eyes `that .betrayed the departure of first youth. For years he had been con- sidered a "catch," but an exceed- ingly elusive one. All but a few of the mothers of marriageable daugh- ters had given him up in despair, and some said it was just as well for their offsprings' happiness that they marry younger men who had seen leas of the world and women 'than had Joan Field. Henrietta Abbot had known Field for two years and rather lik- ed him, but, owing to her careful Mother's vigilance, bad met him only in the company of others. Mrs. Abbot was among those who con- sidered Field dangerous. This particular night, with skillful man- •oeuvering, he had been successful in obtaining two dances in succes- sion with Henrietta, deeat ethe close of the first he drew her hand through his arm and guided her to ono of the small window balconies overlooking the moon -bathed gar- den. There lie dropped her arm and stood looking over the tree- tops while the girl chatted on gay- ly, perhaps to cover the weariness she really felt. But as the mo- ments passed and her companion said nothing she began to realize his unusual quietness and turned to him in questioning surprise. As if in answer, he.alao turned. The girl was plainly startled for a moment at what she thought she read in his face. Then her look of surprise was followed by one of amusement as it occurred to her that 'she was to have only another much -rehearsed declaration of love, this time not a proposal. The idea of marriage in connection withthis "man -about -town" was preposter- ous. And the eyes of the, girl grew hard and her lips curled as she waited. Field was making an obvious ef- fort to speak. Then haltingly, in ea the words an embarrassed stripling might have used, he told her that lie loved her. The whole was cer- tainly inartistic, almost crude, and for a moment, in spite of what her little worlds e, of Field, the girl was stirred to belief, until sudden- ly she remembered that this was doubtless a ruse of a past master in the art of lovemaking, And Henrietta gave a short, hard little laugh:. Field winced,• and after a moment of silence, he said, "I never before made love to a wo- man. No doubt 1 clic ib badly. I have annoyed you. Forgive me," "At least you lie beautifully," thought the grl, and aloud she ex- claimed mockingly, "Well done, monsieur, I almost believed you." Understanding flashed into the man',s eyes. "You are cruel," he• said huskily, and before Henrietta was aware of his intention, he bent his head.and kissed her reverently, scarce brnalling her with his lips. Three months later • a couple stood on the same balcony, and tbis time the moonlight was re- flected in a solitaire on the girl's left hand. "When did yell begin t0' believe in me, Henrietta " asked Flehl happily. "The first time you kissed me," site laughed. "It lauded on my nose. T knew urea that yeti could- n't 'have' made lova before," Then two low peals of merriment joined and •floated out on the night air. Ho had kissed the hose again, 4 Fx.
