The ' ells of these two breeds can best be ecognlzed by comparing them with wo pieces of timber, one of pine and he other of hickory. The pine a oarse and porous wood requires a arge piece to have strength. The ' ifckory on the other hand is fine rraineu and very strong In comparl- , on to Its size. So we find the bone , md muscle cells in the two breeds ?f horses by microscopic examination ; tne to be large and coarse the ether o be finer and close inclosing more . trength In the smaller space. Then there is the brain and intel- ? igence to be^ considered. There is lot on the face of the earth a class >f horse that can compare with the American trotter in intelligence. You ee them doing things that are alnost incredible and say that they are rell trained. Yes, but you cannot ( rain them unless they have the , train to receive the training.

Sugar is perhaps the most, fattening of nil foods and hence.' when judiciously used, quire health-j ful. and by sugar all pure sweets j are meant. Moreover,-sugar is the least expensive, in proportion to nu-j? trltivo strength, of all manner of! food. The perjudlce against It, In both the matters of expense and un- j wholesomeuess. is of puritanical ori- j Kin; that kind of bigotry that would !j chide a child for dancing around; and giving any evidence of happi- j ^ nesa. The puritanical idea of orlg-jf( lnal sin is that whatever a child cries I ^ for must be bad for it to hove. Even i ' yet, there are rural districts where j the head of the family groans every L I time a pound of sugar is purchased ^ for the house and whines over the! transaction ae the fostering of an un- -J wholesome, luxury. However, it is said that there arc places in obscure regions of the country where many Insist on voting for General Jackson for President, ovary time they go * to the polls.-. - * The wave of general Information. * however. Is increasing all the time * and before it every vestige of bigotry * auperstitutlon and common ignor- * ence, will eventually be swept away. * As to sugar, the government of * the United States buys pure candy by the ton, for the use of the army, alone.
