A document attached to the back of the frame, and provided with a seal with the Inscription, "Quo Fata Vo cant," gives the curious hibtory of this picture. It reads: 'The Queen of Candaules, a King of Lydia, with the Magic I'.lng of Gyges, by Corre?fo. It is part of a larger picture which descended to three brothers of the name of Moore. la whose family It had long been, but not being able to agree as to Its pos session. It was cut into three parts. This portion was purchased by An thony I-ord Faversham, and from him It came into the possession of hi daughter, the Hon.

In the winter senfwi of the year, when most farm horses have rather tin ?nsy time of life, there Is likely to be more or less liver and kidney trouble ttuong them, due, to some extent, to .he liberal feeding nnd the inactive .ife. Oftentimes these troubles develop n au attack of acute indigestion, fre jnently mltttakcn for colic.
