There are some points which are val uable in horses of every description. The head should be proportionately large and well set on. The lower Jaw bones should be sufficiently far apart to enable the head to form an angle with the neck, which gives it free mo tion and u graceful carriage and pre vents it bearing too heavily on the hand.

When too far back there is u di position to mischief Comas The. following remarkable ghost story is told of two brothers, members of a distingiiisfnsi family in Frleslaud. a province of tlie Netiiei lands: The young men were officers in the same l>*ginient. anil their only fault—a cer tain rash valor, so ditTerent from the quiet prudence so characteristic of their milieu made tlieir comrades al- iiicsi idolize them. These young officers were exceed- luglv anxious to see a ghost ami took a great deal of pains to plunge into ail sorts of gloomy places In the tio|>e of finding them tenanted by Isdnga from tlie other world At last they seemed to tind the orthodox old castle wit'll its hail tiled room. Everybody l>< re witness to tlie horrible sights and sounds nightly to be seen mid heard tliereiu, and these young gentlemen determined to pass the night there Il was Christmas eve, and they pro vided themselves with a good supper and a h ittie of wine each, a lire, lights and loaded pistols The hours wore on. No ghost was seen; no ghostly sounds were heard. The younger brothei-. wrapped closely in Ids warm cloak, laid bis head on the table and deliberately resigned himself to a com fortable sleep. The elder brother, though exceedingly weary, determined to remain awake and await the issue of events. After awhile a noise roused him from a reverie into which lie had fall en. lie raised his eyes and beheld the wall opening In front of his seat. Through the opening glided a tall fig ure in white, who signed to him to follow. The rose and followed the figure through long. damp, dark passages till they reached a large, brilliantly light ed room where a I all was going on. Above the strains of musk- and the din of voices pierced a strange, sharp, (-licking sound, like the notes of casta nets. Bewildered and dazzled by this sud- •!i transition from darkness and si lence to this gay festive seem', it was some moments before he could col lect his senses, but he was shocked by perceiving that these gayly dressed la- dies and their richly iniiformed cava- liers were skeletons, and tlie curious sound th-tt impressed him so strangely was the clicking of fleshless Jaws! The figure at his side ordered him to take a partner from this hideous throng, which he refused to do. Irri tated at this refusal, the tigli re raised Ills arm to strike, hut the officer In stantly leveled at him the pistol he had continued to grasp and discharged I It full in his face. With the shock and report he started to Ills feet. The white figure, the ball room. the fearful, ghastly dancers, all had vanished, mid he was in the room where he had supped, but his brother lay d lug at bis side, lie had shot him in his dream and a w <il. ned only to receive his last ut- terance. From tliat awful Christmas night he was an altered man. All the ga.vety bad gone out of Ills life, all the sunshine had faded front his days, and after a few years of una- retnor.se be found bear the burden regrets and put an end to bis To Gauge His Wife's Temper, "I heard about a peculiar case of henpecked husband recently, said a young woman the other day. “What was it?" her friend inquired. "There Is a man who tins some diffi culty in gauging his wife's temper. At I times sho is considerate of his welfare, I and at other times—well, he rather thinks that married life is a failure. "He has a peculiar manner of find ing out tlie state of his wife's feeling toward him. In the evening when lie I returns home from work lie never I steps into the house without going through a sort of ceremony. First he throws bis hat in the house, and then lie seats hilnself ou tlie steps anil walls. If five* minutes pass without the hat being thrown out again he en ters and generally finds Ills wife very agreeable. However, if the hat Is thrown out again the unfortunate man seeks hospitality for the night some- where else rather than brave the nn- ger of liis helpmeet." The Fishing Otter.

Bridesmaids and debutantes nre car rying the formal bouquets which their grandmothers gloried in when they i were girls. These bouquets call for a mixture of blossoms nnd for long ends of ribbon or tulle or both, often with little clusters of the flowers knotted in with the ribbon. A florist says that fully half the debutantes nnd brides whom he has supplied with flowers at their weddings and coming out recep tions this season have selected this kind. A bouquet usisi for a reception had cream colored rosebuds massed In the center, white narcissuses around those, a narrow edge of violets around the narcissuses and a tine feathery white flower next the violets.

A GUIDE FOR THE UNWARY The Seeker After Cut Glees Is Safe In Purchasing “Closed In" Articles, as They Cannot Be Duplicated In Press ed Glass—Art of the Cutter. Buyers tot large houst*s nre some times de< eived when buy Illg cut glass mid find they have bought wbat is commercially known as pressed glass instead of (lie genuine article Yel llieie are u few simple rules that will safeguard the ordinary buy er at retail The chief one is to pick out only iilmt the inatiuf-icturer calls closed in articles. By this he means vases, jugs, pitchers, bottles and the like These cannot be duplicated in press ed glassware, which is first molded in patterns and the edges ground. This process gives it so «-lose n resemblauew to real cut glass that ^'ven experts may be deceived But in the "closed in” articles some way is yet to lie devised by which the pressed lines can be followed through the opposite side when put ou the wheel to be cut, as tlie pressed part interferes with the workman seeing through the glass, which lie hits to d > in order to follow the lines of the d*.- sign on Hu* cutter, The kind of cut glass that Is couti- forfeited is called open work, such ns plates, nappies or any flat article through which the workman can read- ily see when finishing it. Another help in selecting ent glass Is its weight, The genuine is made from pure lead glass, made < llietly hi America, especially for cutting This lead glass Is very heavy The first step toward cutting Is to mark on the "blank"—that is, the dish in the clear glass in red or other paint the design that has been selected for It. The most common designs are dia mond shapes, stars ot various points, crosses mid squares mid other geoniel- rical |>a items. The design must be marked on the glass exactly to stand the test of com pass and rule. W hen all lines are in perfect accordance with the pattern mid also fit tin* blank the "roughing" begins. J Ins is ( tilting the heavy work, sucli as the uecks ot vases and bottles mid the heavy lines on tlie stars. This is done on a machine called the “mill," a big wooden framed affair, on top of which is a hopper holding about half a ton of Berkshire lulls sand Tills sand is the only kind in this country that has proved satisfactory for this work. The sand rims down through the hopper, is moistened with water and comes out of a large steel disk, the edge of which is sharp ’This disk is turned by power at a very high speed. The wet sand of the disk gives It a “tooth." wl|icb when the glass is held against the edge of the disk cuts very rapidly. All the course mid heavy culling Is done on this “mill " The cutting in of the finer work be gins on a mill with a stone disk re sembling an old fashioned grindstone." but milch narrower mid with n beveled edge. These stones come chiefly from Italy or Scotland They are very hard and carry a keen edge a long time, They are used for the tine cutting al toget her. There is a stone fouod in Nova S<‘<>- tia much softer that cuts quicker and Is used for fluting on water bottles and compotes where heavy cuts are desired. Very often as many as fifteen or twenty different stones of varying degrees of hardness are used for the cutting of one article. After the design has been all cut. comes one of the most difficult parts of the Work, the polishing This is done on the outside of the work with a very high speeded brush wheel covered with moistened pumice stone powdered. This stone is lava thrown off by a volcano. Large wooden disks made to fit the cuts and fed with pumice mid water are used for polishing the fine work in and around the delicate tracery ot the. pattern The timid of the glass cutting expert must be steady, strong mid accurate, for the least mistake spoils a whole pattern. In the case of a fourteen inch punch bowl this means I lie loss of $50. Another kind of glass cutting is known as stone engraving. it Is d<>ne with little stone wheels nnd copper tools entirely by hand. The designs are chiefly vims and flowers. They are not cut deep mid are often mis taken for pressed glass. lu reality they nre the most expensive kind of cut glass, the prit e for n single piece of large also and ornate decoration reaching four figures.
