Bead what one of the GREATEST NEWSPAPERS IN AMERICA has to
tay on this subject :
M The manufacturers of Castoria have hsen compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the public with the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
This has been necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeiting the Castoria trade
mark. This counterfeiting is a crime not only against the proprietors of Castoria,
but against the growing generation. All persons should be careful to see that
Castoria bears the signature of Chas. h. Metcner, u tney would guard tne neaitn

Morton B. Smith, an American horse
trainer, has been astonishing- the na
tives in Paris by his wonderful meth
ods of subduing wild, untamed and re
fractory horses. Twenty minutes Is
considered time enough to break in
the most unruly animal fur riding or
driving.
The method employed is exceedingly
simple, though none the less vigorous.
The horse to be broken is lassoed,
thrown and held down while being
bridled. To a stout girth strapped
around the horse's body are fastened
several cannon balls weighing about
six poundn lacly-afewslelgh bells ami.
other noise producers. Mr. Smith then
takes tight hold of the end of a pair
of long reins attached to the bridle,
gives a signal to his assistants, who
release the animal, and braces himself
for the shock that follows.
Kvery wild plunge of the hors- is
followed by a dozen thumps from the
swinging cunnon balls on the ribs or
the back. No animal bandied by Mr.
Smith has fought for more than five
or ten minutes against this treatment.
Tired out and subdued they have sub
mitted quietly while being harnessed
and driven around the arena.
Six hundred French officers of all
ranks assembled a few days ago to
watch Mr. Smith attempt to tame a
number of vicious and refractory ani
mals provided by the French military
authorities. The American trainer be
gan with a horse called Idole, belong
ing to Lieutenant Labruyere, of the
Ecole du Guerre. This animal, a very
fine horse, was useless to its owner,
as It refused to be either saddled or
harnessed. As soon as Mr. Smith had
applied his methods to It it became like
Frozen and Taken for Dead.
Found frozen In a snowdrift and ap
parently dead after the storm, Will
iam Ferry, a farmer near Anthony.
N. J., lay for ten hours on the cooling
board of an undertaker's shop sur
rounded by coffins and the parapher
nalia of death. But for the abesnce of
the undertaker he might have been
buried alive. Ferry is now at homu
with his family, sobered by his strangt
experience, which he attributes to
overindulgence in hard cider.
Ferry was found lying in the snow,
with only his head showing above the
drift. The body was cold and Ferry's
neighbor, who Is also a farmer, could
detect no action of the heart. Re
lieving the man to be dead, he raised
the supposed corpse into his sleitjh
and drove back to town, to the under
taking establishment of T.urd & Fritts.
Both members of the firm were absent,
but a clerk received the body an.l
placed it on the cooling board to
await preparations for burial.
News of Ferry's deuth spread rap
idly, and half a dozen of his neighbors
gathered at the undertaker's shop to
keep vigil over the body. They whllcd
away the hours until 4 o'clock Satur
day morning in recalling the virtues of
the deceased and in discussing the
storm, which still raged without. At
the hour mentioned they left for their
respective homes.
When the coroner came at X o'clock,
the clerk conducted him to the cotl'm
room. The cooling board was iheie,
just as It had been left, but the corpse
was nowhere to be seen. The s'-'eet
that had been thrown over the body
lay on the1 floor, torn to shreds. Cof
fins were strewn about the room in
confusion.
"Body snutchers," whispered the
clerk, and the coroner agreed that till
circumstances pointed to the appear
ance of ghouls, who doubtless had
stolen the corpse for one of the med
ical colleges in New York. This theory

has made a life study of the human
hand from a purely scientillc point of
view, gives the results of his Investi

The volume Is a sort of modern text

nessed to a carriage, driven through
clouds of slearn, made to face shriek
ing sirens, and allowed flags and open
umbrelals to be flapped In its face. At
the end of a quarter of an hour Mr.
Smith flung the reins on Its back and
stood up In the carriage, while the
horse stood quietly facing rushing
clouds of sterm.
The experiment with a pretty little
half Arab mare belonging to Captain
Penelon, aide-de-camp of General Bru

fused to face steam, trains, smoke,
rai!waytrains or tramways, and had
twice nearly killed herTlder by rear

twenty minutes she faced every pos

harnessed for the first time in her life
to a carriage and driven in double har

Ferry said he went to sleep in the
road after drinking some hard cider.
He remembered nothing until he
awoke in. the undertaker's shop at 5
o'clock in the morning. He was still
dazed, but the sight of the coffins
sharpened his intellect and he dashed
from the room without stopping to
inquire how he came to be there. 'He
