To see a bone when out at paatnrc
rolling on the ground and endeavoring
to turn over on h:s back la a common
sight, lint bow many people Dave no
ticed that In doing tbls horses observe
an Invariable rule?
The rule Is that be always rolls over
either at the Drat or third ottwnpt-
bPTer at the second—and more than
three attempts are never made. In
other words. If the horse succeeds hi
rolling over at the firm try, well a-n
good—that satisfies him; but If tl.i-
first attempt Is a failure, the sis-mm:
one always Is. Then Ik* either ric...-
quite over at the third or gives It np
lie never makes a fourth.
If horse* are rolling on sloping gro in.!
they usually roll up hill. This Is uv'-
easy of explanation than the strno-
custom regulating the number of, in
tempts. As to this no adequate mneo
lias ever tieen offered. Will those In
Bentons people who tell us why s dog
turns rouutl before lying down, and
why ducks walk behind each other In a
string Instead of abreast, explain why
a Imrse never makes four attempts to
roll over and never succeeds ut the
second ?

One of the paradoxes of waste Is that
tin persons most addicted to It are no:
mm and women of Independent means
who can support themselves In spite of
their extravagant expenditure, but the
poorer classes. There Is bnrdly an able
liodlcd laborer who might not become
financially Independent If lie would but
carefully husband bis receipts and
guard against the little leaks of need
less expense. But unfortunately this Is
Ihe one thing which the workingman
finds It the hardest to do. There are a
hundred laborers who are willing to
work hard to every half dozen who ure
willing properly to hnshnnd their earn
lugs. Instead of hoarding a small per
centage of their receipts so as to pro
vide against sickness or want of em
ployment they enl and drink up their
earnings as they go. and thus In the
first financial crash, when mills and
factories "shut down” and capitalist*
lock iip their cash Instead of using It
In great enterprises, they are mined.
Mm, who thus live “from bund to
n»optli.". never keeping more than a
day’s march ahead of actual want, are
little better off than slaves.—Success.
