From the Eocton Transcript. The horseless age that has been so persistently predicted is not merely slow in coming; the facts indicate that it is farther away than ever, and per haps may never come. We hope it will not, while at the same time wel coming all the new aids to rapid and untrarrimeled transportation. People trust be riding a great deal more than they ever rode before. The automo bile industry in this country has quad rupled in value in the last three years, and has developed at even a greater rate in the number of machines man ufactured. But the statistics of horse lh sh keen on expanding. There Vero more than 14,000,000 horses 'in this country in 1897, but ac cording to the figures for the year just closed there are 19,740,000 horses in the United States at the present time. This is a gain of nearly 40 per cent in a decade, a much larger one than the human element can show, in spite of our large and continuous importations. Not only are there more horses, but evidently they are better ones, a striking triumph for the science of eugenics, since the value has in creased about fourfold, and increasing prices of feed would not account for all the difference. The horse cannot be put down or relegated to obscuri ty. He survives the withdrawal of the stimulus of race gambling in Missouri, and comes out in fairer proportion than ever. As mechanical rivals multi ply he rises in the scale of dignified personality. The very fact of the high cost of the power machines increases his value, just as we have to pay more for corned beef when porterhouse steaks go up. The last horse will probably take his leave at about the same time as the last man. . . i RANK FOOLISHNESS. "When attacked by a cough or a cold or when your throat is sore, it is rank tooiishness to take any other medicine than Dr. King's New Discov ery," says C. O. Eldridge, of Empire, Ga. "I have used New Discovery sev en years and I know it is the best rem edy on earth for coughs and colds, croup, and all throat and lung trou bles. My children are subject to croup but New Discovery quickly cures every attack." Known the world over as the King of throat and lung remedies.

Francis Bourne, archbishop of estmaister, who, ac- .1 cording to recent reports from Rome is soon to be elevated to the cardinal ate, was born at Clapham. in London, March 23. 1S01, of obscure parentage. His education was received in eccles iastical colleges, and after two years at the University of Louvaia he re turned to England to be ordained in 1S84. He worked first at Black heath, and in 1S89 he was appointed rector of the Scuthwark Diocesan Seminary. In 1895 he was named Domestic Prelate to Pope Loo XIII. On May 1, 1S93, Cardinal Vaughan consecrated him titular Bishop Co adjutor to the Bishop of Southwark, with the right of succession. A year later the great age of Dr. Butt led him to resign the bishopric of South wark, and thus Dr. Bourne, when quite a young man, was called to rule over the vast diocese in which he had worked throughout his priest hood. In 1903 he was elected Arch bishop of Westminster to succeed Cardinal Vaughan. USEFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS. (From Home Department in National Magazine for March.) Much of the danger which we antici-' pate from using canned vegatables can be avoided by washing them thorough ly. All kinds, of course, will not ad mit of a bath, but beets, peas, spinach, or string beans I always empty from the can into a colander and hold it un der the faucet until they are well rins ed, after which I heat and season them and serve fearlessly. To make a hole in glass, press upon the glass a cake of wet clay and make a hole the desired size through tho ?,;."'r. la,-in,g ,bai;ei the glass at the bot tom. Pour melted lead ""'into the fiole ana it wilt drop through the glass and leave a perfectly smooth, round hole. When mending stockings having largeholes, if a piece of mosquito net ting is placed over the hole and then darned through the meshes it will make a disagreeable task much easier. If a handful of salt is put on bot tom of oven under pans when baking gingerbread or any cake easily burned, it will prevent its burning. LEGAL NOTICES SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE BY ADMINISTRATOR.
