In "Tod Sloane," by himself, the oncs famous jockey says that horse ex- ceeds even a dog in intelligence and that if a thoroughbred were small enough to run about a house like a dog and have the same chances instead of being so much alone surprising results would follow. "Cussedness" in horses, he thinks, may be caused hy too much . inbreeding, bringing sbout an extraon dinary temperament. The best Jockey, says Sloane, is the hoy with a nervous "He is quick and alert to take in a situation and becomes a human «ferret, finding out things for himself." ---------- Difficult. ) The adjutant was Yecturing "fo the subalterns of the battalion, "In the field," he said, "it is now the duty of an officer to make himself look as much Tike a Man as possible."

"Garble," "garbled," "garbler," are words which newadays convey quite a different meaning from that which was formerly accepted. "Garble" orig- Inally signified simply "to select for a purpose." At eme time there was. an officer, termed "ihe garbler of spices," whose duty it was to visit the shops and examine the spices, ordering the destruction of all impure goods. His duties were similar to those.ef the in- Spector of the medern health depart- ment, who forbids the sale of decayed vegetables or tainted meat. The word { comes from a root meaning "to sift." The impurities sifted out have in the | course of generations corrupted 'the term tifl a "garbled report" is no long- er a report whérefrom all uncertainty, has been removed, but one that is full of misrepresentation snd made mis- leading with deliberate intent, ain Whe such long-lasting, ~ price.
