A Good Horse of His Breed —A Hackney.
(By CAPT. A. H. WADDELL.)
If we are good judges of human na
ture, or able to judge others by their
biographers, we should feel very much
inclined to lay a $lO bill to a 10c piece
that the wily "Richard” who once
made himself hoarse shouting “A
Horse, a Horse, my Kingdom for a
Horse,” wanted a good one.
Richard had just killed five Rich
monds, or thought he had, and was
looking for another when his horse
was killed under him, and when he
uttered his memorable words. Yes,
he wanted a horse and he wanted one
badly enough, but, he wanted a good
one.
A good horse was what he wanted,
good horses are what we all want, and
it is only the large breeder who can
really tell us, how many bad horses
he breeds, for one good one that he
sells. This is in large measure due
to haphazard methods in breeding;
breeders are not careful enough in
the selection of their parent stock, nor
do they take pains enough to ascertain
the peculiarities and characteristics of
the families from which the parent
stock comes.
In the trotting horse everything has
been neglected for speed, and in the
thoroughbred in this country, nothing
but this element has been considered;
the result is too well known to be re
capitulated. Notwithstanding this no
body seems to try to remedy the de
fects that this near sightedness has
produced. There is not one trotting
horse in a thousand whose anatomical
formation, physical and constitutional
soundness, will permit him to become
a 2:10 trotter, nor is there one race
horse in the same number that can
gallop a mile in first class company
with any chance of winning, for the
same reason.
Breeders no not give sufficient care
to individuality, size, bone, substance,
and soundness; they never think of
temper or temperament and only con
sider speed, which, although inherited
on both sides is useless in a weakling.
Stamps and types of horses and
ponies have been bred which are well
exemplified in the Shire, Clydesdale,
Suffolk, Percheron, Belgium and Hack
ney. Why cannot this obtain in some
measure at least in the trotter and
thoroughbred in America? It does in
other countries and why should it not
ASPARAGUS PLANT IS HARDY
Asparagus may be started from seed
and come Into size for table use at the
third year. Seed may be planted as
late as mid-summer.
It requires about six weeks for the
seed to germinate and come up. The
young plants may be cultivated in
rows as other garden vegetables and
set in permanent rows or beds this
fall or next spring.
The asparagus plant is doubly use
ful. The young shoots can be used
for food and the foliage branches for
decoration. Sprays of asparagus are
here, in the greatest and most lavish
ly, bestowed by nature for the pur
pose?
The American is the best business
man in the world, as good a horse
man as can be produced anywhere,
and is always looking for the straight
est way of getting to a certain point,
and has certainly succeeded in sur
prising the world in this direction. He
has produced the most extraordinary
light harness horse that has ever been
heard of, when speed alone is consid
ered, and also some of the fastest
thoroughbreds, and it seems that the
time has not arrived when more care
should be shown in the selection of
horses for breeding purposes, so as to
be able to produce sounder, bigger,
and better individuals.
SUMMER WORK

Where There Is Not Perfectly Com
fortable Poultry House on
Farm One Should be Pro
vided This Summer.
(By MILLER PUVIS.)
If there is not a perfectly comfort
able poultry house on the farm, one
should be planned and provided this
summer, at least before cold weather
sets in, for it is poor planning to put
off providing a warm poultry house
until the time arrives for its use. A
comfortable poultry house need not be
a costly one nor a particularly warm
one. Every poultry house should have
two rooms w'ith a tight partition be
tween them. If it is build in this way.
the flock may be crowded into one
room when very cold weather comes,
and the heat of their bodies will keep
the room warm. A hen does not feel
the cold as quickly as a man does, for
her blood is five per cent, warmer nat
urally, and if she can sleep where
there is no draft blowing on her she
will be very comfortable in a room in
which the temperature runs as low as
10 to 12 degrees below the freezing
point.
Sheep Will Eat Roots.
If too many sheep are confined on
a pasture they will eat the grass roots
right out of the ground.
equaled by few other plants for their
pleasing effect in decoration.
The plants are very hardy, will
stand all kinds of treatment, but will
respond liberally to good treatmett
and will thrive in one place for ten to
twenty years. The illustration shows
a method of planting asparagus in a
French nursery house.

QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
Ailment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWSOME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.
Many people In the United States are
afflicted with a queer disease, according
to a statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
"Many persons who come and write to
my headquarters at 63d and Jefferson
Sts., Philadelphia, Pa., think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble,
when In reality they are the victims of
an entirely different disease—that of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
Internal parasites, which locate in the
upper bowel and consume a large per
centage of the nutriment in undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
of forty to sixty feet. One may have a
tape worm for years and never know
the cause of his or her ill health.
“Persons who are suffering from one
of these creatures become nervous, weak
and irritable, and tire at the least ex
ertion. The tape worms rob one of am
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal.
"The victim of this disease is apt to
believe that he Is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble, and doctors for years
without relief. This is not the fault of
the physicians he consults, for there is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi
tively that one is not a victim of tape
worm.
“The most common symptom of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight of food is loathsome.
There Is a gnawing, faint sensation at
the pit of the stomach, and the victim
has headaches, fits of dizziness and nau
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
“I have a treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of its regular action in aiding
digestion, and ridding the blood, kidneys
and liver of impurities it has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tape
worm, this treatment will, in nine cases
out of ten, stupefy and pass it away, but
If not, the treatment will rebuild the
run-down person, who is probably suffer
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors report
marvelous success here with this treat
ment. Fully a dozen persons have passed
these worms, but they are naturally reti
cent about discussing them, and of course
we cannot violate their confidence by giv
ing their names to the public.”
Letters addressed to Professor James
M. Munyon, 53d and Jefferson Streets,
Philadelpha, Pa., will receive as careful
attention as though the patient called In

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR
For more than a generation. Cuti
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the

hands, dandruff, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfigured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book on the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application

A Complication.
Bessie found getting well much
more tiresome than being sick. She
was becoming very impatient about
staying indoors and eating soups.
When her aunt asked her how she
felt she replied that she was much
worse; that the doctor had found
something else the matter with her.
“Why, what is it?” asked her aunt.
“I think the doctor said ‘convales
ence.’ ”
A New Ailment.
Mother was sick, and Janet, four
years old, had heard the doctor say
that she had ptomaine poisoning.
A short time later Janet was heard
confiding to one of her playmates:
“Mamma’s sick. She’s got toe-nail
poisoning.”

Clergyman’s Rebuke to Thoughtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.
A well-known clergyman was one
day, in a barber’s shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, with
lather all over his face. They pro
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved,
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber called
several times —“Next gentleman! Next
gentleman I ”
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
“It Isn’t a bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront
ery to answer to that name.”
Family Enough.
Horace, five year old, has a broth
er, nine, and a sister three, and with
his father and mother, he deemed this
family large enough. When, there
fore, he was told by his aunt that a
little baby was to be added to the
family, he protested—
“l think papa and mamma might bet
ter spend their money for more straw
berries and powdered sugar for me,”
he observed, indignantly.
On a certain day a doctor came to
the house and Horace thought he
knew what that meant His spirit of
revolt nearly got the better of him,
however, when a second doctor came.
A few hours later, after, the doctors
had departed, his Aunt Ella told him
he had a new little brother. Horace
brightened, and tiptoed to his moth
er’s room. “It’s all right, mamma,,”
he assured her. “There’s only one.”
To Be a Good Cook.
“To be a good cook means the
knowledge of all fruits, herbs, balms
and spices; and of all that is healing
and sweet in fields and groves, savory
in meats; it means carefulness, in
ventiveness, watchfulness, willingness
and readiness of appliance; it means
the economy of your great-grandmoth
ers and the science of modern chem
ists; it means much testing and no
wasting; it means English thorough
ness, French art and Arabian hospi
tality; it means, in fine, that you are
to be perfectly and always ladies
(loaf-givers), and you are to see that
everybody has something nice to
eat.” —Ruskin.

Welcome Words to Women
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their ».
sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
advice of a physician of over 40 years’ experience I
—a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write ~B'.
fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from a
telling to their local physician. The local physician ~ f
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without “an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce’s treatment will cure yon right in the privacy of
your own home. His ** Favorite Prescription’’ has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases.
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There’s no secrecy. It will bear examina
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don’t take it. Don’t trifle
with your health. Write to World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R.
V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y., —take the advice received and be well.
On Second Washing.
“I’ve just washed out a suit for my
little boy—and now it seems too tight
for him.”
“He’ll fit it all right, if you'll wash
the boy.”—Meggendorfer Blaetter.
Serenity.
“The true religious man, amid all
the ills of time, keeps a serene fore
head and entertains a peaceful heart.
This, going out and coming in amid
all the trials of the city, the agony
of the plague, the horrors of the
thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy
abroad, the fiercer ill at home —the
saint, the sage of Athens, was still
the same. Such a one can endure
hardness; can stand alone and be
content; a rock amid the waves —
lonely, but not moved. Around him
the few’ or many may scream, calum
miate, blaspheme. What is all to him
