The ColOrs Of Horses.

The Arabs of Sahara are very par
ticular as to the color of their horses.
White is the color for q Princess, but
does not .tand heat. The Elack
brings good fortune, but fears rocky
ground. The chestnut ia the most
active. If one tells you that he has
seen a horse fly in the air, ask of
what color it was; If he replies

bat against a chestnut, you must have
a chestnut. The DAY Is the hardest,
most sober. If one tells you q horse
has leaped to the bottom of the prec-
ipice without hurting himself, ask of
what color he was, and if. he replies

Ben Dyab, a renowned chief of the
desert, happening one day to be pur-
sued by Saad-el Zanity, turned to his
son and asked:
What horses are in front Of the

dent son.
"It is well; let US make for the
sunny side, and they will melt away
just like butter"
81 me time after Ben Dyab again
turned to his son and said:
"What horses are in front of the
enemy?"
BLACK horses" replied his son.
ut is well; let us make for the
stony ground, and we shall have
nothing to fear; they are the negroes
of the Soudan, who can not walk
with bare feet upon the f1ints."
He changed Ills course and the
black horses were speedily distanced.
A third time Ben Dyab asked: "And
now what horses are in front OF the
enemy?"
DARK chestnuts and dark bays"
answered his son.

Mineral Vein.

Miners use indiscriminately and
with the same meaning, the words
veins. lodes, leads. Judge Field has
defined the term vein, or lode as
"aDy zone or belt of mineralized
rock, lying within boundaries clearly
separating it from neighboring rock"
1t is, therefore, such a vein, or zone.
or belt of mineral rock, that must be
found within the claim located to
make q legal discovery. There must
be mineral, and that mineral not
there loose or by accident, but min
eral In place; that is, in a zone or belt
clearly dlstlnguishable from adjacent
rock.
