Just before the Christmas holidays, when all Britain was preparing for its' traditional roast beef, all advertisement as follows appeared in several of - the London morning papers: "Butchers and Slaughtermen.-At this season we re - CHAMPION ABERDEEN-ANGCS IIEIFER. joice in the birth of ;our Saviour, who said, `Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.' Think of this when you kill. Do so in the most merciful way and by experienced men. No good work goes unrewarded even here.". Tho gentle reminder was an excellent one. If we must eat heat, we must kill the animals that furnish it in the quick- est, gentlest way. It is to be hoped that the fine beeves hero pictured were sent to their death in that manner when they went to furnish roast beef for a British Christmas. The illustrations are taken from London Sketch. The first illustration represents Ben- ton Bride, "the best beast at Smithfield this year." The Aberdeen -Angus cattle have three times won prizes over all at the Smithnela show, which is the high-. est compliment that could be paid them. Benton Bride this year won the cham- pion plate of 100 guineas and also the Queen's Challenge cup. Before she was , slaughtered she had won over $2,500 in prizes for her owner, Mr. Clement Ste- phenson of Newcastle. She was bought after the show by a firm of meat deal - PRIZE 13IlITISH SIIORTHOI1N STEEP.. ers and actually brought $750. That was at the rate of `about 50 cents'a pound. Beef breeders could get rich if they could raise a few cattle like Ben- ton Bride every year. The second picture shows the Short- horn steer that took first prize at the Smithfield fat stock Christmas fair. He weighed nearly 2,500 pounds. Beef breeders will be able here to compare British prize fat cattle -with their own best achievements in that line. Raising Prize Shorthorns. I will say my stock all run out all summer. 'None is taken from pasture until snow -covers the ground save young calves and. bulls. During the winter months nearly all are stabled, fed lib- erally on either straw, corn fodder or hay, together with a few roots and a generous feed of wheat bran. The young things, being calves and young bulls, have an extra feed of corn and nate ground. .All are allowed to run out in the yard on _pleasant days, where they have free access to a large tank of wa- ter, kept from freezing by a Decatur heater, as we have weather at trines when the mercury goes far below zero. A little corn fodder or straw is sprin- kled over the yard for them to busy themselves with during the day, but I will say if you are expecting to rare good stock of any breed they must be fed liberally with something. With Shorthorns it matters not very much what -the feed is. They are hearty and will eat all kinds of coarse feed and thrive on it. There is not a :farmer in this state who could not keep a small herd of either Shorthorn or grade cattle on what the most of them now allow to go to waste, by adding a little grain to their straw and corn fodder, and by so doing he would have some steers weighing from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds to sell every year at not less than $40 to $50 each. There are 100,000 farmers in this state. See What that would aliiount to. And would it be a hardship to ask every farmer in Minnesota to do this? Together with the cattle hogs should be kept to clean up with. .At least that is my plan. The cattle I intend to exhibit at the fairs are treated much better. While they are all allowed to run to grass as long as there is Hauch, they are all sta- bled either day or night, according to the weather, and well fed on different kinds of feed, together with some roots. They are taken as calves and -kept as nearly as possible in their calf form, but great care must be taken not to overfeed then., More cattle of the beef breeds are spoiled from overfeed than any other way. The most of the show herds of to- day are in that condition. I haWe been very careful to avoid that error, ,incl the result is my show herd is not only per- fectly smooth and sound, but every one is a regular breeder. I find it very easy to keep Shorthorns in good fair breed- ing and sale condition, but not as easy to keep then in smooth, winning show form. -Cor. Biseder's Gazette.

Its Marvelous Anatomy and How It Should Be Treated. In a lecture on the horse's foot, Pro- fessor Dunca, MacEachran of McGill university, Canada, proceeded to de- scribe briefly and to illustrate by sec- tions and diagrams the wonderful struc- ture of the foot, first the bone forming the distal ends of the four extremities, articulated in such a manner and degree of obliquity as to minimize concussion, next the wonderful arrangemei1t of the soft tissues covering the bones over- run and intersected by networks of blood vessels and nerve fibers, firmly at: tached to the bone, yet so disposed as te) not only secrete the • horn, but to keep secreting it while the animal lived, to carry on these functions even while ex- posed to compression and concussion from the enormous loads which it had to bear from the weight of the animal, his burden and the momentum of his movements, yet so perfect was tho ar- rangement that seldom indeed diel wo find that even a blood vessel was rup- tured or a tissue bruised, so Iong as it was left in a natural condition. Ho next showed the beautiful dovetailed con- nection of the hoof to the sensitive or soft tissues, a model and diagram being used to illustrate. The structure of the wall, sole and frog were explained. He then spoke of the -foot as a whole and declared it perfect in structure, perfect in function, and, as proved by the horse in a state of nature, a perfect protection for the sensitive foot within. "Why mutilate so perfect a struc- ture? The protection of this horny foot cover, as the hoof may be called, from wear and tear, caused by constant use on the hard roads of civilization, by an iron rim or shoe is necessary for the full util- ization of the animal's powers and use- fulness. It has been truly called 'a nec- essary evil,' as our own foot covers are, yet surely the foot can be protected with- out our having to chronicle 75 per cent of the larnenesses, of-- the fore feet at least, being due to faulty shoeing.= With the farrier I would plead for the poor horse, to see to it that ho himself and his workmen are taught something at least of the anatomy and physiology of the horse's foot, to think of it as a very sensitive, highly organized structure and not thoughtlessly to cut away as useless that horny sole, so necessary to 'protect the tender solo which it covers. Do not scorch it by applying, while fitting, too hot ea shoe. In fitting the shoe re- member that it is to remain on night and clay. It is' not to be -removed at bed- time, as your own. If it twists and dis- torts the foot and parts of the limb above it, there is no relief from the torment of cramp and sprain; if it presses hard on a sensitive part, being firmly nailed on, the horse must suffer night and day. In nailing the shoe on bo careful that the nails clo not press on or penetrate the sensitive parts. Tho horse cannot remove it, and -the careless groom may not notice it for days, If you would but think of the suffering which poor horses undergo from your carelessness or. ig- norance, you would treat the foot loss as_ an insensible block of wood. "To the owner I would say: If you an afford to keep a horse, if you re- wire the services of a horse, Ileal with im as you would with any other of our assistants. He cannot take care of iinself; you Must hire a man to take are of him.

Don't let a few oilers a month influence you in the hoice between a good and a bacl groom. f you would think of the pain and an- uish, the sleeplossliights and unhappy ays of many horses, owing to the neg- ct of their feet by ignorant or dissi- ated grooms, you would give your 'sta- le morn personal supervision, and you ould see that your groom not only new what was necessary to procure the omfort of your horse in the manage- ent of his feet, but that he would at- nd to and put into practice such 0 h y h a h a a c g d le p b k 0 te 1: wledgo. 0 w ers sometimes cause gr t suffering `Ii penuriousness and a fat 'e economy ab ut shooing bills and st le expenses. "To the public I would say you can do much to protect the foot of the horse and save him from suffering. .Are yon a merchant? See to it that your men think of the poor horses which deliver and re- move your goods, when breaking up packing boxes, sweeping out nails into lanes and back streets. When I tell you that a large number of valuable horses are lost annually, particularly those horses handling railway goods, owing to carelessness in this respect,nails pene- trating the sole or frog of the foot, pro- ducing Most painful and often incurable wounds of the deep structures of the foot, you will see that it is your duty to give this your consideration. This is a subject, in fact, which should call for civic legislation, for it is but right that the horses sho>;ild be protected from the suffering thus inflicted and their owners from such serious preventable losses."

Peeling pearls is a little trick which Parisian jewelers have reduced ton science. They will take a pearl which is apparent- ly so imperfect that it is scarcely market- able, and with a skill bordering on the marvelous will peel off the outer layer and develop a lovely gem. A pearl is made up of layers of "nacre" and animal tissue. The nacre is that beau- tiful iridescent substance which gives to mother of pearl and tho lining of seashells their chief beauty, and it is especially at- tractive in the pearl oyster. The layers of nacre and animal tissue alternate, so that the skilled jeweler can peel an ugly, discolored pearl and make of it quite an- other jewel. The tools employed aro a `harp- knife, extremely delicate files, soft leather and pearl powder. Tho layer of nacre is hard and difficult to cut, but the pearl renovator chips it off bit by bit, feel- ing his way with the edgo of his knife, for the layer is too thin to be seen by the un- aided eye. In one of the workshops of Chicago is a than wbo is specially devoted to pearls. He claims that a perfect pearl is the most beautiful of gems and says that the time is coming when pearls will bo fashionable again. Ifo exhibits with some pride a large pink pearl and said that it had been arti- ficially started. This brought out the fact that in China and Japan pearl oysters are not only cultivated, but are forced to pro- duce pearls. A pearl is the result of au oyster's efforts to remove a source of irritation. If a grain of sand or some other hard substance finds Its way into the shell, the oyster begins coating it with nacre, which gives tho ir- ritating intruder a smooth exterior. The oyster deposits naore over the offending object as long as it remains a source of ir- ritation, and the Chinese have taken ad- vantage of this peculiarity of the solitary mollusk. They make little pellets of earth which has been dried and powdered with the juice of camphor seeds, and during May and June plant these in the oyster. The shell is opened with a another of pearl knife, care being taken not to injure the oyster, and the earth pills are laid under the oyster's beard. The treated mollusks are then placed in canals and pools and left undisturbed until November, when they aro dredged up, opened and the nacre covered pellets removed with sharp knives. The pellets aro usually found fastened tightly to the inner surface of the shells. The Chinese pearl farmer then turns jeweler. Ho drills a lisle hole into the pearl at the place whore it was fastened to tho shell and removes tho dirt. Tho cav- ity is filled with yellow rosin and the opening sealed neatly with a tiny bit of mother of pearl. But a I+'renchman has improved on this method. Ho found that the Chinese killed many oystore by forcing the shell open to deposit the earth pellets. The ingenious Frenchman bored holes in tho shells of pearl oysters with a small drill and then introduced through tho opening little globulus of glass. Ho plugged the holes with. corks and left the oysters alone to, manufacture pearls. In six months the glass nucleus was covered with a pearly deposit, and the Frenchman reaped a beautiful harvest of pearls. Ho did not have -to born holes in the pearls to remove the center, and his product brought higher prices than the pearls made by the Chi- nese. These artificial pearls have much of the luster and beauty of the real gems, but are sold at a much lower rate by honest jewelers. Exports can coror pearls black, pink, gray and other colors by the use of chemicals. For instance, a pearl put in nitrate of silver turns black. But pearl raisers know a trick worth two of that. Certain kinds of fresh water mussels bear pink pearls, and pearl oysters produce dif- ferent colored pearls, according to the part of the oyster which is irritated by the for- eign substance. The artificial pearl pro- ducer knows this and plants his seed ac- cordingly. In Washington is an artificial pink poarlas largo as a pigeon's egg., and Z its heart is a bit of beeswax. Perfectly round pearls which weigh over 25 grains each aro scarce and com- mand largo -prices, but such pearls are nat- ural. Artificial pearls are usually flat on ono sido.-Chicago Record. A Dog Who Was Not to Be Dared. A dog story has come to tho writer's ear Which, though not within his persona knowledge, is vouched for to hits in an entirely trustworthy way. A certain dog, which was growing old, was in a barn one day with his master. The two were upon a haymow from which a sloping ladder led down to the barn floor. The master walked down the ladder, but tho dog went around by another way. When the dog reached the barn floor, his master began to say to him somewhat tauntingly: "Poor old fel- low! Daren't walk down the ladder any morel Daren't walk down the ladder!" Whereupon the dog, with a quick glance at his master, Walked clear up the ladder to the top and then turned around and walked down it again. The proceeding looked very much like a deliberate demon- stration on the dog's part, to his master, that he was still capable of walking up and down a slanting ladder. Did the dog understand the taunt, or did be Merely catch the words "down the ladder" and take the utterance for a command, which he dutifully proceeded to obey? No ono will ever know probably, since the dog himself can give no account of the matter. -Boston Transcript. Where Ignorance Ie Really Bliss.
