"Somo "horses that continue to work for yoars always sloop standing, but their rest is not complete, and their joints and sinews stiffen. Young horses from the eonntry are liable to refuse to lie down when first placed in a stable in town, and the habit may be come confirmed unless special pains are taken to prevent it. Sick horses are very apt to refuse to lie down. They seem to have an instinctive fear that if they lie down they never will be able to get on their feet again.

The Largest Opening In the World Is In Vermont The Diamond Hrlll Revolutionized the Industry. "YTT"ERMONT furnishes more than Y sixty per cent, of the marble used in the United States for building purposes, and almost all that goes into graveyards and rpnblio monuments, and the greater per cont. of the Vermont mar ble comes from Kutland County. The man who first discovered the possibili ties of the quarriosin Rutland County traded an old horse for the property. Tho original owner had become dis gusted with the land, for nothing would grow on it, and he swapped a fortnne for a decrepit nag which was dear at $15. The gold craze of '49 urged men to risk their lives and en dure the greatost hardships to find the yellow metal, and the marble craze ia Vermont which followod tho discovery of the rich deposits of pnre white marble caused men to pour money into holes and sink fortunes in the ground. The Oreen Mountains are pock-markod with abandoned quarries, and the quest for the for tune which awaited a man at the bot tom of a rich marble quarry sent prospectors into New Hampshire and all along the backbone of the Qreen Mountain State. Until the diamond drill was invented prospecting for marble was almost always a matter of Jguess-work. But the faithful detective which bores its way into the earth's crust and brings back a piece of everything it touches placed marble-hunting in the list of exact sciences. The diamond drill is a cylinder of steel which has black diamonds fixed in the edge of its cut ting surface. The diamond-studded cylinder is driven into the earth or outcropping stone, and as it twists its way farther into the cruet it cuts out s core which enables the prospector to judge of the quality of the marble, if the drill goes through marble, and the extent of the . deposit. Sometimes, however, the enthusiastic prospector and his moneyed men who are back of the enterprise are sadly fooled by the diamond drill, for the drill might be bored in the direction of the layer and not through it. If the layer is thin, and the drill bored with the grain, the core might indioate a thick deposit, and the truth would not be known until thousands of dollars had been spent in opening the quarry, Over $100,000 has been expended in opening quarry before a single dol lar s worth ol marketable stone was taken out. When all the tests show that the marble is there, and enough of it to pay for the working, the top rock, usually of limestone, is first stripped off. Blasting powder and dynamite are employed in stripping the quarry, but the blasts are small, and the quarry men proceed carefully, for if the powder should penetrate the marble it would do serious damago. When the top stone is cleared away and the top layer of marble is exposed, channeling machines similar to those which are at work in the rook out of the sanitary canal are started. They are worked by steam or compressed air, and they travel baok and forth, cutting the marble into tho widths required. Sometimes the diamond borer, or quiok-aoting diamond drill, is used to slioe up the marble. It makes holes near together, the holes being con nected by webs of marble. These borers revolve about 1500 times a minute and when the marble is not too hard work rapidly. When the channeling machines, or diamond borers, have out the marble into elites the stone is cut away at either end so (hat the quarrymeu can get at the of the layers that have keen team-drills bore holes f the layer from t. , Iron or break the Italian stonecutters of tills bad habit, bnt they persist (n hanging on to primitive methods and doifig what has been done in the COO quar ries in the mountains around Carrart ever since gunpowder was used for quarrying purposes. The Carrart quarrymen literally takes his life is his bauds in many of the quarries, for he often is swung over the side of tb marble precipioo and "ohug-chugs" with his hand drill suspended in mid air. When this aerial qnarryman hai drilled his holes and loaded thorn with blasting powder, he is pulled out of harm's way and the marble block, ripped from its lofty bed by the blast, tumbles down the mountain aide, sometimes being shattered into frag ments.

Tho building will oot about 9100,000. Its style is Itomanesquo. The inner walls are of fire-proof, hollock brick, iron-faood. The interior fittings are in marbles aud polished woods. It is absolutely fire-proof. The most remarkable feature of the building, porhnps, is its wonderful great vault, which embodies the latest ideas for the construction of burglar dofying devioes.

Its exterior is of bronze plating. Tho massive and immense out door has an automatic locking de vice, being equipped with triple time locks.

" The oflicials of the Marine Hospital jService, Washington, have been noti fied that a firm of manufacturing chemists at Detroit, Mich., is making preparations for the manufacture of anti-toxin, the new remedy for diphtheria which has created such widespread interest in Europe. This is believed to be the first honse of its cbaraoter in tho United States to be gin experiments. It is reported that this firm has established a bacteri ological department where the experi ments will be carried on under the di section of competent scientists. Healthy yonng horses have already been inoculated with tho toxin, bnt it is expected that it will be three or four months yet before the results of the experiments can be announced, as the processes are not only delicate, but tedious. The strength of the toxin obtained from the vultures of diph theria bacilli, and tho strength of the anti-toxin, is ascertained by experi ments upon mice and guinea-pigs.- New York Tost.

The "Royal" is shown by all test3, official, scientific, and p?ao' tical, stronger, purer, and better in every wlv than all other Bakintr is privately acknowledged by other manufac turers, and well known by all dealers. If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the " Royal," it is because of the greater profit This of itself is good'evklence. of the superiority of the "Royal." To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. mJ LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm oft upon you any baking powder in place of the "Royal."

In his youth the future Miniater was a poor student, bearing tho simple name of Frere. He had great difficulty in earning enough money to keep him at the nni vertuty till he was ready to pass his examination in the department of law. The yonng man fell in love with a Frauloin Urban, the daughter of a wealthy and aristooratio family, who opposed his suit. "If yon pass your examination well to-morrow," said Franlein Orban on the eve of the trial to. her lover, ''come to tho theatre and to the box in which I shall be sitting with my parents." "Will they allow mo?" asked the studont. "I shall see to that," was the de termined yonng woman's answer. FrtiT9 was successful and entered the box in the evening happy bnt frightened. The pretty girl, as soon as he had crossed the threshold, stood up, rushed toward him before a word was spoken, and kijsed him heartily on the tips. The astonished parents were soon informed of the significance of the kiss by the daughter. As many other people had seen the yonng girl's action, the parents deoided to make the best of it and aooepted young Frere as a son-in-law on condition that he add Orban to his name. This he did as a matter of course and made it famous. New York Tritons. . ' Wllh One Mule. With one male Mr. V. A.
