as before.
A Magic 8tring.
Procure a few pieces of cotton string
each about one and one-half feet
long, and fill them well with soap,
prepare a brine by dissolving three
tablespoonfuls of salt in a cup of water.
Place the strings in the brine
and allow them to soak for two hours
or longer. It is necessary that they
be thoroughly saturated with the
J brine. When taken out of tho brine
? and thoroughly dried, suspend one of
them from a nail on a ledge, and hang
a finger ring on its lower end. Apply
*"* a lighted match to the string and al^
low it to burn. The ring ^rill not
fall but will hang by the ash.

?
When sorrow, in the form of death,
enters into a home it is the duty of
every friend and acquaintance to convey
their sympathy and condolence
to those who are sorely stricken. How
to do this adequately or how it should
be done is a matter of no little consideration
to those whose duty it is
to offer consolation in some form or
other to their sorrowing frienda What
form it should take is the first idea
that presents itself to the mind. To
send a wire at first sight is perhaps
the most direct way of expressing
sympathy on the spur of the moment,
but this only lends itself where long
friendship exists; under ordinary circumstances
it would not meet the
case. When this is resorted to, the
message is a brief one, and the words,
"Deepest sympathy with your great
?? ?? "Finanlv trrimroH tn hpftf
suuun, vi i a/w|/ij o* *v? vw ?
the sad news,'' or to still more intimate
friends the words might be added, "Let
me know how you are." In fact, the
wire might contain any affectionate
message the sender might desire to
convey. Notes of sympathy follow
these wires in due course, and in
writing them, sympathy should be the
keynote of every line, regret for the
one that has passed away, every kind
expression relating to him that can be
used, and every word of comfort and
condolence that can be thought of
should be embodied in the note calculated
to soften in some measure the
loss felt to the bereaved. The actual
wording of these notes can only be left
to the writer thereof, but the foregoing
will give an indication as to
what is most applicable to the circumstances
of the case. To send cards of
condolence to close friends would be
considered over formal, but in the case
of acquaintances they are quite appropriate.
Visiting cards should be
used for the purpose, and the following
is usually written at the top of the
cards: "With kindest sympathy and
condolence," or "With deepest sympathy
and regret," or "With kindest
love and sympathy." These cards
should be sent by mail. In this they
differ from cards of inquiry left during
illness. Cards to inquire after an invalid
or one who is dangerously ill
should be left in person when possible,
thus affording an opportunity to the
one inquiring to4earn how the invalid
is progressing and whether there is
cause for anxiety or not. By this
means the one calling is enabled to
judge whether it is necessary to repeat
the call of inquiry at an early
date or whether it may be postponed
for a few days. Grave illness would
necessitate the one being done and
progress toward recovery would render
postponment of the call advisable.
The usual words written at the top of
cards to inquire are "With kind inquiries.''
or "To inquire," as the case
may be. When the one inquired after
is a married lady, and the inquirer also
is married, the two cards should be
left, one of the wife's and one of the
husband's. When notes of sympathy
are written it should be before the
funeral takes place, if possible, but
where this cannot be accomplished,
then the notes should be written as
soon after as possible. Cards of condolence
should be sent in a similar
who desire to condole are aware of the
bereavement, and as a rule these cards
are very widely sent, perhaps because
it is often found difficult to write appropriate
notes of condolence, or notes
that are altogether satisfactory to the
writers, who are " often inclined to
think they have said too little or too
much and wish that their notes of
condolence were other than they
were. Those but slightly acquainted
are often in doubt as to whether their
knowledge of the one in sorrow is
sufficient to justify them in sending
cards of sympathy on hearing of a
bereavement. It should be understood
that, according to etiquette, those who
are on calling terms are expected to
rooocnize sorrowful events which hap
pen to their neighbors by sending cards
of sympathy and condolence as soon
as aware of the bereavemet. To hesitate
in offering this kindly tribute is,
we regret to say, rather general among
those who are inclined to doubt
whether sympathy thus offered will
be acceptable to those who know so
little of each other, but it may be
taken as a general rule that sympathy
is always appreciated by those in
sorrow from whoever it is offered,
whether by slight acquaintances or
friends, and, moreover, etiquette is on
the side of fulfilling this social obligation,
and "I ought to have called, I
know, but I did not do so because I
thought my call might not be desired,"
is not an unusual lament on
the part of those who have been somewhat
remiss toward their neighbors in
their hour of sorrow. Even between
friends of long standing it is not always
possible to do the most courteous
thing. For Instance, letters are
perhaps received from a number of
friends who sympathize greatly in the
bereavement that has taken place.
They are read as soon as the one feels
equal to doing so and then put on
one side to be re-read and duly answered.
TRICKS OF THE TRADER8
Some of Them are Enough to Deceive
the Veterinary Doctor.
Buying a horse from an honest,
trustworthy person is all right; but
the majority of horses are purchased
from dealers, and not a few of the
latter are up to "the tricks of the
trade." The pian who knows nothing
about a horse must rely upon the dealer's
word, which in a great many cases
has been the cause of a bad bargain.
It is therefore well that a little knowledge
be acquired before the step is
taken.
These tricks as practiced by dealers
are many. A horse is made to appear
young by giving a stimulating dose.
The process of filling up the depressions
over an old horse's eye is another
matter that requires the art of an
adapt. This is termed "fluffing the
glims." The skin over the cavity is
punctured, and the jockey then fills
It with air from his mouth; the aperture
closes, and the brow becomes
as smooth as that of any young
horse.
Jockeys go so far sometimes as to
paint a horse all over if his color is
bad; and dyeing in spots for the purpose
of producing matched teams is a
common practice. This is a clever
trick and not easily detected. The
white hairs which appear about the
head and eyes of aged animals are
frequently pulled out.
Horses, too, are doped to produce
the appearance of flesh.
Dealers frequently endeavor to pass
ofT a glandered horse upon an unwary
customer by stimulating the
nostrils until the animal has snorted
away all the matter lying in them, and
then by injections of an astringent nature
produce a temporary suppression
of the discharge.
But of all the means Dy wnicn me
dealer carries on his trade there, are
none so much relied on or so effectively
as bold and ingenious lying. This is his
great resource. It furnishes history,
pedigree and warranty. Should there
be blemishes on the horse, they can be
easily explained away by plausible
lies. If the horse is lame, it arises
from a slight sprain, bad shoeing, or
other easily remedied cause; if he
stumbles it is because he has been illshod;
if he balks, the harness is on
wrong, or the horse has an attack of
some acute complaint arising from
over-feeding, over-driving, or It comes
of bad handling; if he kicks, he is only
playing; if he leers and bites, it is a
sign of courage and vitality; if his coat
"stares," he has just been brought In
from the country, where he was running
out during the winter; if he is
thin and bare, there are a thousand explanations
handy; while every good
point is exaggerated and held up with
art and eloquence.
Now the above applies almost wholly
to the jockeys or dealers who travel
about selling animals?men with no
reputation. The safest man to purchase
from is the reliable and long-established
dealer, who has built up on
nJnAinlAS Un nnt Anlv TX7? T"1 tfl
nun est yi uici^ico. aav iiuw v/n.j ??m..?
to sell you, but he wants to make your
bargain so satisfactory that you will
tell others about his fairness.
Owing to the fact the horse is valuable
only so far as it is capable of
performing a certain amount of work,
it is desirable that soundness should
be one of the first qualifications in the
animal to be purchased. Now the average
man is prone to pride himself on
his knowledge of the horse, and if he
purchases a horse from a neighbor,
and the neighbor is honest, the deal
is apt to be satisfactory to both parties;
but let the same man purchase
from some professional horse sharper
and he will often find his store of
horse sense considerably augmented
within a day or two after getting his
purchase home.
The fact of the matter is that even
few veterinarians are able to in all
cases detect some forms of unsoundness
in the horse. It is the purpose
of this article to offer some hints
that may be of assistance to those who
do not "know it all" when it is necessary
for them to rely on their own
judgment as to the soundness of some
particular animal. We will assume
that the horse to be examined is sound
externally, that is, free of curbs,
spavin, splints, ringbones, quarter
cracks, bad eye sight, etc., and is to all
appearances not lame.
A superficial examination of this kind
is all that is usually made, and that,
too. under conditions often most favorable
to the animal in question, it usually
having been under motion for some
time before the examination takes
place. When such is the case, certain
(leiecis, SUCH HS CCI'Ullll i"linn \JL lamv
ness, are liable to be overlooked, as the
lameness disappears with exercise.
In all cases the horse to be examined
should be tied in a well-lighted
stall for at least one hour before moved
out for inspection. During the time the
animal is in the stable no one should
be permitted to go near it. Observation
during this time will often reveal
certain defects, and the hour's rest
gives ample time for the horse to cool
out.
Two things to watch for while the
horse is in the stall are crib-biting
and "weaving," the latter a form of
chorea evidence only in the stable
while the horse is not excited by the
presence of owner or groom. The
term "weaving" is applied to this affection
from the resemblance to the j
I
motions of the weaver; the subject |
rolls with a swavering motion from
one front foot to the other. When the
horse is to be taken out have an attendant
back it out of the stall, the
examiner standing behind it and noting
if there are any symptoms of string
halt, for in backing out of a stall or
turning suddenly around is the surest
method of detecting this defect, and
horses will show it under such conditions
that never at any other time
show the least symptoms of it. The
horse now being cool and in a natural
condition, if there is any chronic lamei
ness it is liable to show If trotted off |
to the halter before the horse has time
to warm out of it by walking.
The examination of the teeth is
something that should not be overlooked
when examining for soundness.
Good molars are about as essential as
good feet It is a common saying, "No
foot no horse," and it might be added
that if a horse has bad teeth it will
not be a good horse for long.
After all other examinations have
been made there remains the test for
soundness of wind. The two moat
common ailments of this kind are
heaves and roaring. Many dishonest
dealers have become adepts in the matter
of disguising or so palliating these
defects In the horse that we have
known professional buyers to buy
horses badly affected with the heaves.
A sharp gallop of from 100 to 200
yards will usually reveal whether or
not the animal is a roar, but other
methods are sometimes necessary as a
test for heaves. Certain drugB and
modes of feeling will be detected In
only one manner, namely, "coughing"
the animal. The cough of heaves is
characteristic, and if the horse has
been prepared to pass inspection if it
be forced to cough the affection can
be easily detected if present.
In making this test, stand at one
side and wth the hand grasp firmly the
larynx (or throat), pressing it firmly,
while the head is left free, and a cough
will be the result, either a natural and
healthy cough or the characteristic
cough of heaves.
Examination for soundness is reaJly
the duty of the veterinarian, but the
above hints are, as we said before, for
the use of the average purchaser, and
if they prove of assistance when professional
aid is not to be had, then our

FRANCIS JOSEPH
A Short Sketch of the Emperor of the
Austrian*.
The oldest monarch in the world,
belonging: to the oldest reigning house,
has just celebrated his 86th birthday.
Francis Joseph was born on August
18, 1830, when Andrew Jackson was
serving his first term as president of
the United States. As a boy of 18 he
exclaimed, "Goodbye, my youth!" and
was crowned emperor of Austria, so
long ago as when Polk was president,
and the Mexican war was coming to
its conclusion. In 1867 the dual constitution
was adopted, and the young
man of 37 became king of Hungary, 1
and then Andrew Johnson was in the
midst of his term. This country has :
had twenty-eight presidents, and
Francis Joseph has lived through the
terms of all but six of them, and his
reign has covered the administrations
of all but ten. He is older than Victoria
was when she died and has
reigned longer. Louis XIV reigned
nominally over France for 72 years,
but he began as a child of 6.
The first Hapsburg emperor dates i
back to 1273, and for 1,000 years the j
house has been called "a plaything of ]
misfortune." The present emperor <
came to the throne by abdication and *
entered upon a legacy of hatred and j
suspicion. His favorite brother, Max
imilian, was shot in Mexico; the Em- 1
press Carlotta survives him as a luna- (
tic; the Archduke Ladislaus was shot
in the hunting field; the Archduke
Johann was drowned; the Crown
Prince Rudolph died in the tragedy of
yerling; the Empress Elizabeth, his
own queen, was assassinated, and his
sister was burned to death in the
charity bazar fire in Paris. His de- I
feats at Solfernlo and Megenta lost '
Francis Joseph the province of Lombardy,
and his defeat at Sadowa cost J
him his prestige of Venetia. And fin- ]
ally the crime which precipitated the I
present war was the assassination of
the heir apparent and his wife at Sar- '
ajevo In June, 1914.
Francis Joseph will be held to be J
one of the most remarkable men of |
history. Not gifted with genius he :
has acquired a rare quality of wisdom 1
which has helped him through many
a critical epoch. He has ruled an
enormous territory, with seven distinct
people and several separate
kingdoms ana parts or Kingdoms ana
the Hungarians, Slavonians, Czechs, j
Germans, and the rest, have been held (
together by a single tie, allegiance to
the house of Hapsburg. Even Victoria
occupied no higher place in the affections
of her united people. The 1
personal popularity of Francis Joseph |
has proved again and again to be
stronger than the elements tending to 1
disrupt the empire. This wonderful
old man has kept his health by a life
of scrupulous regularity and temperlnce.?Boston

the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where It Is desired to
discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may
do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. Wlien a
subscription lias been paid in full, It cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker
however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscription
to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer'm to be
made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our
books.
No name will be counted In < ompetltlon for a premium until the subscription
price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker
has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the
Club.
In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
the name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make
such transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem
necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if
there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This Is not
for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
competition.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postoffice.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not
give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order.
In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present
postofflce address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion.
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will
be allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1916, at 6 p. m.,
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
