Toronto Office, 32 Church St. TAYLOR'S GREAT SCHEME. Be -- r Proprietor Kept Stable Dark-- _. - Handy Shoe Factory. Down in the southern part of the state of New Hampshire, at a railway station where the farmers jor miles around used to come to take the train for Boston, a certain man had a house and a big stable, and in the long rows of stalls they kept their horses during the day until they returned from their journey to "the hub." Then they would itch up and. drive home. Everybody waits on himself in these democratic communities, so they were in the habit of unhitching their own horses, hanging the hargess on the pegs ut the foot of the stalls and giving each animal a mea- sure of oats 'from a big bin over in the corner. The stable was kept very dark, $0 that sometimes on a cloudy day they had to feel their way around, but Mr. Taylor, the proprietor, exphined its advantages--that it kept out the flies and other insects. One day Mr. Taylor was employed by a stranger to drive him over to: Haver- hill, where a shoe factory with all its contents and appurtenances was to be sold at auction under foreclosure. Every- thing was going very cheap and Mr. Taylor bought several barrels of shoe s for almost nothing. When he got me he put them in the barn without explaining what he was going to do with them. It was something more than a coinci- dence that about this time Taylor quit buying oats and the horses that were placed in his barn while their owners went to Boston almost invariably got "off their feed." 5 The owners unhitched and put them in the stalls and gave them a measure of grain, as usual, from the bin in the dark corner, but when they returned at night the feed lay untouched in the trough. Mr. Taylor had some medicine, made of burdock leaves, which he recommended as an appetite restorative, and he sold a many bottles at 25¢. each. He told is customers to give their horses a dose before they started to drive home and another after their' arrival before feed- nig, and he thought it would cure them. And it did. It worked like a charm and there was a great demand for the bur- dock remedy. One day an inquisitive farmer took his measure of oats to the stable door and found it full of shoe pegs. For nearly a year, ever since Taylor went over to that auction at Haverhill, his customers had been feeding shoe pegs to their horses, and paying Taylor 25 cents per animal for that privilege. As one might expect, there was a good deal of comment on the discovery, and Taylor went out of business. The Marriage Age. In Austria 2 "man" and a "woman" are considered to 'be capable of con- ducting a home of their own from the ages of 14--a fact which accounts in go Small degree for the spirit of "chill fatherhood of the man" so prevalent in Austria. " In Germany a man must be 18 years of age; but the age of the bride-elect is left to popular discretion. : In France the man must be 18 and the woman 15, while in Belgium the same standard prevails. | In Spain the intending husband must have passed his 14th year, and the wo- man her 12th. These figures, in connec- tion with the admitted poverty of Spain, socially considered, are full of the deep- .
