 The average age of the forty-one anf- nals that make up the Obituary of Stallions" in the last issue of the Lon 3on Stud Book" was a little under seventeen years; while the fifty-four that are mentioned in the previous vol umo averaged a little over the same figure. These horses were of value, or hey would not, of course. have been sent to the stud: and it thus appears that, roughly speaking, hundred horses of sound constitution. and of whom 1t is safe to assume that every possible care was taken, lived on an average as nearly as possible seventeen years. \ few of them were killed after having met with accidents. two or three died while on their voyages to other countries the sea is very fatal to the horse, many. including sew eral Derby winners, having died on ship board ono, Tho Rover, was bar barously slaughtered by Irish moon Gghters Murdered in Ireland Novem- Der. 1884" is his epitaph in the Stud book.

 As to drawing from photograph, s-a thoroughly familiar with all instan- t;.leous photography, but 1 never Ese the camera now. I haven'S for a year past. The photograph lacks the inter est which I seem to be able to give to horse action. And the best attes- tation of that is that my horse is incorrectly drawn from the photographic standpoint We know that the photogragh must be correct, but 1t doesn't give the impression. Now il is very easy for-the artist who knows how these horses move to observe and feel the motion, and then reproduce it. People have no time to look at the commonplace. The interesting never occurs in nature as q whole. but in pieces. It rarely ever happens that one gets thoroughly good picture from | a photograph. It's more what 1 leave | out than what I add. l merely fix the salient points. II think this: If one desires to suc- | cesSful1y draw the horse he should | know the type and the differences, for horses are as different as men. What | Success 1 have had has been because I | have 8 horseman's knowledge of horse. No one can draw equestrian subjects unless he is an equestrian | himself. The most of our American | horse artists live in the middle of New l York and aren't out among horses. These are the men, who, in picture
 will put an Indian on a s7OO horse in-
 stead of the scrubby pdny he really
 rides. Knowing the type it is next the
 task to delineate it. Then the object
 is accomplished.
 ! The matter of saddlery and frontier
 trappin gs, the perfect knowledge of
 them, opens up another and a very wide
 Subject.
 The Poles and the Russians, as nation, are the best horse artists. They
 not only paint and draw them but they | lead the world in the ir horse modelling
 in bronze. Chilmunsky and Kowalsky
 are the most famous of these modelers. In Poland and Russia there is wide di- versity of horse stock and strain, rang ing from the thoroughbred in the cities to the CoSsack pony. Those people live t1oSer to their horses than we do here. There is great deal in the liking of horse to be able to draw him we'll But the American artist should easily lead, it would seem, with such a variety
 of types as we have, the Western pony,
 the American trotting horse, and the thoroughbred runner. These only
 need to be strongly individualized to
 win success. Now there is too much
 samenesS in the horses of England.

 Every year he spends several months in the West, picking Up new material. When in Now York. his afternoons are spent in the saddle tho mornings given up to work. His studio is curious place. The walls are lined and the corners piled up with saddles and brides and bits of trappings of the ranchman and the Mexican horseman. There are studies of all types of horsas scattered about. Remington himself is a sturdy, stocky man of fine physique, tall, round faced and smooth shaven. He has the artistic temperament to a dot, but it is an athletic one. His ways of work and his ideas are interesting as characteristic of the man who in three short years has attained rank that most people work a life time for.

Circulation of Water in Boilers.

The circulation of water in boilers is attracting more attention from en- gineers and the importance of it is be- ing more generally recognized. The best circulation is. of course. found in the plain cylindrical boiler, where there is nothing to interfere, and decreases with the number of fiues added. Other considerations must enter in the matter of the economical generation of steam, but the circulation should not be for gotten. In tubular boilers the best practice places the tubes in vertical, rows, leaving out what would be center row. The circulation is up the sides of the boiler and down the center. Tubes placed zigzag never give good results.

THE PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
 Most of the members of the Pan American congress from the South American republics have been reticent in their public expressions of opinion concerning the outcome of the delibera tions of the convention, but one or two of them have not hssitated to make statements that have appeared in the newspapers, and others have privately expressed the belief that an increase in the trade between the United States and its American neighbors cannot be looked or until such a time as our people are ready to make important notifications in the existing tariff system. From such study as these South and Central American gentlemen have made of the customs regulations of the United States, they find that these place decid- ed obstruction in the way of the en- trance of the products of their respective countries into the American markets i; and it is probable that such examina- tions as they have made into the ques tion of the cost of manufactured com modities in the United States have led them to believe that ours is by no means the cheapest market in the world.
 Says the Boston Herald: Undoubtedly, in the cheap production of food supplies of all kinds we are without rivals, but it 50 happens that the South and Central America countries are to a large degree self-sustaining, so far as food is concern cd. Their exports are chiefly commodi- ties that would beIclassed under the head ing of raw materials, while their im- ports are made up principally of manu- factured articles of all kinds, which they have neither the skill nor the capi- Uoi lo satisfactorily pIOuuCc v1tn1n tne1r own borders. They admit that we are tremendously industrious, exceedingly ingenious, that our wealth is almost fab ueous, and that, other things being equal, they would trade with us rather than with any of the European nations. But all this does not blind their eyes to the fact that the European natio offer double inducements in. the way of trade; first, in welcoming the products of South and Central America to their shores by relieving such commodities of all, or nearly all, the taxes that were imposed upon them; and, second, in giving to South and Central America purchasers opportunities to buy what they desire at lower prices than those named by us for corresponding articles.

The honor conferred by the senate of North Dakota on the Rev J. G. Perrault of Mandan, is one rarely accorded to a Catholic priest. It speaks we'll for the liberality of the senate of North Dakota, that its members should have unani- mously made choice of Catholic priest to act as their chaplain, and also goes to show the esteem in which the Rev Father Perrault is held by his fellow citizens of other denominations.

Card from Mrs. Davis.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The widow of Jefferson Davis has written a card for publication stating that it is a physical imposslbilit for her to answer all the thousands of telegrams of condolence that have poured in from all parts of the United States. She therefore takes this means of expressing her apprecia- tion of the profound sympathy exhib- tied by so many of MT. Davis' friends to his bereaved and grateful family.

Secretary Proctor's Action.

 NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 7, 1889. To the Honorable Secretary of War, Wash ington, D. C.:
 have officially to inform you that the Hon. Jefferson Davis, at one time Secretary of War of the United States, died in this city yester- day. His funeral will take place on Decem- Der Il, at 12 o'clock, noon.
 JAMES, A. SHAKESPEARE
 Mayor of New Orleans. To this despatch the Secretary sent the following response, which he made public to-day:
 WAR DEPARTMENT,
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2, 1889. { HoN. JAS. A. SHAKESPEARE, Mayor, New Or leans, La.;
 Your telegram, informing me of the death If Mir. Davis, is received. In refraining from any official action thereon, I would not and hope do not, add to the great sorrow of his family and many friends. It seems to me the right course, and the best one for all. You will, am sure, understand that it's adoption is prompted by sincere wish and purpose to act in that spirit of peace and good will which should fill the hearts of all our people.

A BIG FUNERAL PROCESSION.

A Rifle Used in the Mexican War Placed Beside tue Bier-Secretary Proctor's An swer to an Official Notification of the Death-Mrs. Davis Overwhelmed with Letters of Sympathy.
 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The Munici- pal Building, where the body of Jeffer- son Davis is exposed, was visited by thousands of citizens who were escorted into the Council Chamber, where they were permitted to look on the features of the illustrious dead.
