A writer in the Philadelphia Press says
that long experience In England has
proved that brown-colored horses, and
especially those Of tanned muzzlc,
proved the hardest. Nextto these come
the darker shades Of bar. The same has
been found to be the case In America,
and then follow the clear dappIe gray.
Other colors seem to be about equally
hardy, although pure white and red-roan
are considered the least so. But we
know horses Of these two colors, as well
as others vary from the first three above
mentioned, to be perfectly hardy and en-
during. As q rule, it is the breed,
coupled with the soil and the food on
which they are reared, which make the
difference in hardness and endurance of
horses.

u, Prison and Rob the Safe.
BROOKLYN, n. V, Nov. 27-It has been
demonstrated row that thieves can not only
break out of the Kings county penitentary,
JuJ can also break into it. The prison
looks very SECURE from the outside,
for il is surrounded by high walls, and
the windows are protected by stout iron bars.
Furthermore. there are watchmen who are
supposed TO be always around and pre-
pared 10 resist any attempted intrusion
from the outside 0S well as to prevent any
escape from the Inside The idea of an
attempt being made by burglars to break
into the prison would seem to he
ridiculous To the unprofessional thief
it would seem like walking directly into the
lions mouth 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that Warden Green was Disguised when ht
WAS informed Wednesday morning that
burglars had broken into the prison and
robbed the safe i'll the shoeshop of all tho
money which had been brought there
to pay off the employees 1t appears that the
Burglars entered the window of tho shde-shoI
on the Carroll street side. They used Il stout
iron bar or sectional jimmy, and pried thu
bars Of the window apart. They took up
ward of 5000 which the Bay State Shoe
| and Leather company had sent there
to pay off the outside help. Several detec
tiyes have been sent ont to the penitentiarJ
to see if they can obtain any clew as to VIII
the burglars We're. That they were pro
! fessionals there is no doubt, and they Ger
| tainly knew that the money to pay off thG
mon had just been placed in the safe.
