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 ? "Hand to Month** Livers. 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.
