Tho horso, tho most usoful of all anlmnls, Is tho ono mnrkod for tho niot of mon's lll-troatmont. For the most part housed In Ill-lighted, lll ventllated nnd Ill-smelling quartors, .worked to Its full capacity, cared for only to the dogreo that solflsh Intor- est prompts, the nnlmnl 1h dollvered over as tho unprotected object of tho tmrostralnod passions of men. Tho averago man falls to apparently un derstand that animals have nervous jsystems, among them a mnrkod do greo a horso, and that wore he to gov ern his own temper ho could, with n (little pntlonce, get control of the horse's nervous systom, nnd mnko out of It a mrvant vastly moro efficient than It Ib under the system In which ho hentB and Jerks nnd drive It to d traction. V Oi.rt walk In any city will dls c r many blind horses. Why? Tin ro are no blind cows, comparative 1 Ami yet the sight or one nnturnl ly Is ns good as that of Uie other. I he difference Is simply that the horse from the beginning has been abused. Ill-housed, overworked and worked under such conditions thnt jhave driven him blind. His eyes are shut In by blinders nt each side, for which there Is no uie but to satisfy the cnprlco or fashion of man. So, his vision Intorforod with and de prived of air, the wonder is that with other treatment ho gets he 1b not iMHMOHMHf 4tt-gfrj We Claim all Diseases- Salem, Liberty St. $ I blind oftoncr.

How Staff Statuary Is Made. "Tho process of crontlng the large pieces of statuary out of Btaff Is very Interesting" writes Katherlno Loulso Smith, In tho January Pearson's. "Af tor the sculptor has sent his accepted model to the fair, the work of onlarge ment begins, and ono of several plecos, as occasion requires, aro flnlshod, oach of which Is an exact counterpart of the model on an on Idrgod scale. "Stnff Is simply a long fibre soaked in plaster of pads, mixed thin with wntor. This flbro, which Is gonorally Mexican, comos In balds of 100 pounds, nnd on Its nrrlval In tho rope stage Is run through machines to loosen It. ,Mndo with this hemp fibre, stair can he snwed, hammerod and Whittled like wood, whllo various forms can be mndo as offectlvoly as with plaster of parls alone. "A staff modeler proceeds exactly as though his work was to bo execut ed In Parian mnrble or enduring bronze, Instead or porlshablo plastor. A framework of wood or Iron with flexible lead pipe for tho arms and nock of the figure Is first mndo, cor responding to tho modol which It is intended to copy. A huge pointer, somowhat llko tho pentngrnph usod by art students, is used in obtaining tho correct onlnrgoment, one point rostlng on tho modol, and tho other dotting tho enlarged counterpart. Ev ory Inch of tho statuto In process of making Is thus accurately measured. "The man who executes tho first procoas In tho formation of staff slaps hugo handfuls of wot staff on th woodon framework, shaping It crude ly with thumb and fingers, and In cossantly using tho hugo pontngraph for mensuromontB. "From tho man at tho pontngraph, tho shapeless Imago passes to tho modolor. If a largo ploco Is under construction it is placed on a plat form with rollors, that tho modoler may turn tho flguro oaslly as he shape the ploco with staff, using his hands to put on nocossnry additions, smoothing rough plncos with his lingers and with spatula, and cutting wire, doing nil, In fact, but the last ro- lining and smoothing process. During respites of labor, while the figure Is at this stags It is covored with n damp cloth to keep it from crncklng. "The last procose Is tho work of the sculptor, who Is nn expert. He fin ishes the staff ropllca exactly llko the smaller model from which It Is tho en larged counterpart coating the staff with shellac, and adding rellnlns touches, until ho Is satisfied with It." Mistresses Need Training. (Brooklyn Eagle.) "Schools for the training of mlst resses are as much needed a? schools for the training of maids," said a wnmnu whe Is active!) Interested in philanthropic work and is frequently callod upon to secure place for worthy young women In seaich ot ompleymen: ns domestics. "Some ol tho estimable women who come to mo with tales ab6ut the Inefficiency of Borvantb would probably conslde.' such speech rank horosy on my part, but I do not wonder thnt so many girls prefer factory nnd shop llfo to domostlc service. In the factory or shop Uiay have certain work to per form In a cortaln tlmo. Then thoy nre porfectly froo to do as thoy llko In domostlc service the hours of sor vice aro mighty elastic and the hours of freodom rigidly defined, nnd in many housos whero the mlstrosa thinks horeolf ami Is thought by others to bo very charitable and broad-minded, her servants lead a Ufa of drudgery. Of course, thero are homos whoro the mistress Is a troa uro and tho maids likewise, but this pft-dlscussod sorvant problem and tha nronesed regeneration and refor mation qf the maid Is not the one sided question so many consider It." Tub Night In Finland, (titxehange.) Ilathing in Finland, whero it is al ways cold, is a queor ceremony. In the first placo it la very, very cold in Finland and the bathroom is not in Uie house at all. but In n budding quite separate. It Is a round building, about the size of an ordinary room. There are no windows, so light and air can only como in when tho door is open. Insldo bonchos arc built along the wall, and In tho conter is a great plla of looso stonos. Early on Saturday morning wood is brought in nnd a great vossol standing near the stones Is filled with wntor. Then someone cuts over so many birch switches, and these aro placed on tho floor of tho bath room. Next the flro Is mado under tho stonos, and It burns nil morning. In tho afternoon, whon tho stonos are very hot. the fire Is put out, the placo is 3wept clean, and all Is ready. Tho boys undress In tholr homes and run to tho bath house. As It Is gonorally 30 below zoro, you may be sure thoy do It In double-quick time. As soon aB they aro In the bath house thoy shut the door tight nnd bo gin to throw wator on tho hot stones. This, of courso, inakos the steam rise. Moro water Is thrown on and there Is more steam, until tho place Is filled quite full of It. And now comes the pnrt that American boys would not llko at all. Ench boy tnkos n birch switch and falls to whipping his companions. This Is to mako tho blood circulate, ant' though It Is real hard whipping, no ono object., but all think It gront fun. At last, looking like a lot of bollod lobstols, thoy all rush out, have a roll in tho snow 'and, nake for homo. Stopping High Speed Cars. While much hns been printed re "My In jexrnrd to the high spe-id trials on tho Berlln-Zosen electric railway, where the cars attained a speed of over 125 miles per hour, but llttlo nttention has beon given to one Important, factor In such rapid movo ment. The momentum attained by these cars is a factor which can be Imagined with difficulty, and It Is Im possible to bring them to a stop whon running at full speed under a distance of one mile. This is what has ac tually occurrod In the speed trlnls abovo mentioned, the car having run a mllo after tho brakos woro applied. Tho full meaning of this is not ap parent until comparison Is made with our railway trains, whoro the block slgnnls aro not placed vory far apart, and a train enn readily bo brought to a standstill in tho dis tance covored by two blocks. If this lino Is to maintain this rnto of speed It will moan that the cars can only bo run at long distances apart, and that Uio slzo of tho semaphore arms and lights will havo to ho Increased until thoy aro readily distinguishable at a dlstonco of nearly two miles. Purifying Milk by Ozone. An npparatus In use in Gormany for the purification of milk by ozonlzatlon Is so constructed that the milk con. tnlnod In a vossel flows thenco In n thin stream Into anothor vessel placed beneath. Tho wires and carbon points of a strong oloctrlc battery are so ar rangod that tho aro formod by the Jumping of the current from one enr bon point to tho other passes through or In close proximity to the stream of milk. The ozone which Is there by engendered from the oxygen of the nlr Is said to be sufficient to kill nil micro-organisms contained In the milk. While no reference has been made to the use of this apparatus for the purification of wnter, thero seams to be no reason why oxone could not be applied to this end, un loss It bo tho difference In cost be tween the milk nnd wnter, the price obtainable for tho latter possibly not permitting the use of this purifying agent. A Man Who Could Keep Silent. The late Hugh Stowell Scott, fa moiig as Henry Saton Merrlman author of "The Sowers." "The Vul turts," and other novols. was a man of extraordinary reserve and solf command. Tho following story lo told of him: His father, who was a director of tho London Graphic, had an unaccountablo objection to his son's following a literary career, and trlod to make a business man of him. His son wrote In secret undor a pbou donym, and. although his work was Buceeasful. ho nover betrayed hln lltorary Idoutlty to his fathor. On ona occasion his father placed before him one of the young author's own stories, saying, "Now. If you could write n book like this, it would bo anothoi thing altogether" And stlU the son kept slent .

Was Always Very Pale and Thin. Nervous Prostration Faint Spells. Dr. Miles' Nervine Saved My Llfo. There Is creat danger in a run down con dition. Overwork, mental itraln, the caret and worries of business and the borne, all have a deleterious effect upon the nerves, which In their devitalized condition readily fall prey to the attacks of disease. Aside from the danger there is no condition at tended by so many disagreeable symptoms; such as loss of appetite, indigestion or nerv ous dyspepsia, headache, tired feeling and loss of ambition together with the agony of sleepless nights spent la tossing restlessly about, only to rise exhausted in the morning. Dr. Miles1 Nervine Is a true nerve tonic which, by strengthening the nerves, restores health and appetite and brings sweet sleep. "For six years I suffered almost constantly from a complication of troubles which culmi nated In complete nervous prostration. I had no nppetitc, I could not sleep, I suffered from indigestion and nervousuess. As Is so often the case In nervous prostration 1 Ire- auently had weak, fainting spells. Doctors id not help me. They said my blood was very poor, and I know my face was always very pale. The very first bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine I took gave me noticeable relief and I felt stronger than I had in years. My neighbors in Puyallup, Wash., where I then lived will testify to this. I also used some of Dr. Miles' Restorative Tonic nnd Anti-Pain Pills. I believe the Dr. Miles Remedies saved my life."
