Wherein Their Organization Diners from
That of Trottcrs.
The question is often asked: "Nhy
is it that the PAGER is uniformly faster
than the trotter?" "Why is it that tho
pure-brcd trotting PAGER has more
speed than his equally bred trotting
brothcr?" This question can only be
answered, says Clarl1's Horse Review,
by studying the nervous organization
and physiological muscular action of
the animal. The horse, as we'll us the
human. is double being throughout.
The right side of the brain, with the
left side of the spinal cord, controls the
left side of the body. The left side of
the brain and the right lateral half of
the cord, the right side. 1t is Il we'll
known fact in human muscular action
that when action is required which
calls in play various sets of muscles,
that the work can be done better and
with less exhaustion where those sets
OF muscles which are controlled by the
same nerve tract are called into rcoui-
sition ut the Same moment, then the OPP
positc sets act, in turn resting the
former.
The PAGER. by his way of going, calls
into action simultaneously and in con-
junction the entire half of the ccrrbro-
spinal system, thereby gaining
more force and resulting in less
nerve exhaustion, as the action Of both
feet Oh the same side arc III unison, and

was very rich man, having fifteen
wives, fifty ponies, and many sheep.
Through the interpreter, we replied
that we were not Spaniards, nor
descendants of Spaniards, and that
we had read with pleasure how his an
cestors had withstood the conqucrors;
that we sympathized with his warriors
and knew from these facts that they
were very brave. The delighted chief
beamed from top to toe with pleasure,
and whispered something to IL squaw,
who left the room and presently re-
turned with an armful of human skulls.
From most of them the face part had
been partially cut away, and all were
worn perfectly smooth. The grinning
chief assured us that every skull was
once the Uranium of II Spaniard of high
rank, who had been slain while fight
ing the Araucanians. Some of them
had been handed down from generation
to generation through several centuries,
and were used only by chiefs and wise
men to drink out of on great occasions.
The others had been taken from enemies

drinking cups at ordinary fcasts. Chill
