The Protective Unions Formed by the
Equine Species of the North.
Life in societies is again the rule with
the large family of horses, which in
cludes the wild horses and donkeys OF
Asia, the zebras, the mustangs the
cimarrones of Pampas and the half-wild
horses of Mongolia and Siberia. They
all live in numerous associations made
up of many studs, each OF which con.
sists of number of mares under the
leadership of male. These numberless
inhabitants of the old and the new
world, badly organized on the whole
for resisting both their numerous enc
mics and the adverse conditions OF eli
mate, would soon have disappeared
from the surface of the earth were it
not for their sociable spirit. When q
beast of prey approaches them several
studs unite at once; they repulse the
beast and sometimes chase it, and
neither the wolf nor the bear-not even
the lion-can capture horse or even
zebra as long as they are not detached
from the herd.
When drought is burning the grass
in the prairies they gather in herds Of
sometimes 10, GOO indivi duals strong and
migrate. And when a snowstorm RACES
in the steppes each stu1 keeps close to
gether and repairs to protected ravine,
But if confidence disappears or the
group has been seized by panic and dis
perses the horses perish, and the sur
vivors are found after the storm half
dying from fatigue Union is their chic

plateaus on the outskirts Of Thibet

by carnivores, under a climate as ba
as That of the arctic regions, but in

MODERN USES or WIRE.
Hemp and Cotton Rope seem to BE Pass
ing Out Entirely.

Hemp and Cotton Rope Seem to BE Pass
ing Out Entirely.
at is remarkable to what an extent
wire and wire rope are displacing hemp
and cotton ropes, once so much IN
vogue, remarked a prominent Wash
ington hardware merchant recently.
'sThis will be noticed right in the
homes as well as in the workshops and
large business buildings. It v DIS not SO
very long ago that the majority of beds
were corded, while nowadays they are
provided with mattresses. Not only
this, but there are now manufactured
wire pillows, wire holsters and wire
upholstery lining, all of which meet
with large and increasing sale.
Lone reason for the growing popular
ity of this innovation lies III the fact
that wire offers no ground for yermin
or disease germs. The medical profess
sion greatly favors its use both in hos
pitfalls and dwellings.
'.The same may be said of the use of
wire for clothes-lines. Some years ago
it was discovered that the old-fashioned
ropes harbored minute life. and in some
instances were infected with the germs
of malignant diseases. This caused a
rush for wire clothes-lines. 1t is said
that in 1860 there was not yard of it
in use, while now there are thousands
of miles employed.
s.You have, perhaps, noticed how the
sash cords of your windows have fac
ulty of giving out occasionally. This is
due more from the ravages of minute
insects and decay than from actual wear
by usage. The advantage of substi-
tuting fiat brass or copper chain for the
old-style sash cord is snow recognized

SOLD FOR A MATCH.
The ViIIainous Trick Played by Some Lazy
Campers.


Last season, up at Mt. Shasta, the
guests sitting on the hotel porch de-
scried an immense elk standing COM
posedly on the high trail, about two
thousand feet above their heads. Bucks
were scarce enough, out an elk!
Instantly eight enthusiastic sportsmen
seized their Winchesters and began the
ascent. Up the terrible grade they
climbed, with the thermometer at ninety
one degrees, until they reached the top.
As the foremost crept breathlessly into
the trail he met man placidly chewing
the stem of an unlighted pipe.
"Did-did you sce-see the way that
elk went?' painted the climber.
The man pointed to where a group of
campers-out We're unstrapping pair of
old buck antlers from the head of a

blandly, 1--WE discovered just now that
we hadn't single match left in camp,
