There Was Horde of Place Hunters I'm
der the Consulate.
The makers of a paper constitution
can not foresee every detail in the
working of its provisions; and, con.
trary to the expectation of Sieyes, at
least the form which the new govern
ment took at the outset was largely
personal. The consulate and the min
istry were entirely so, their members
being chosen with a keen business in
stinct, like that of great industrial
or commercial master. for personal
character, integrity, capacity and de-
votion. What revolutionary" said
Napoleon to his brother Joseph, "would
not have confidence in an order of
things where Fouche is minister? What
gentleman would not expect to find ex-
istence possible under the former bish-
op of Autun? One keeps my left, the
other my right. I open a broad path
where all may walk"
This was so far true. but such nice
discrimination could not be exercised
IN filling the hundreds of minor offices.
No land is second to France in the am
bititon Of it's people for ofice-holding,
and among the, thousands of greedy
claimants it was not easy to choose.
There were many mistakes made in
the selection, and the disappointed

malcontents from the very, Inaugural
ton of the consular system. There
were the senate, the legislature, the
council of state, the tribune, the whole
judicial administration, all to be filed.
1t was understood that the official

When finally fixed, the salary of
senator was twenty-five thousand

Horse-Breeding in India

MIR Rayment Of the Veterinary De
nartment of the British Army read
curious and interesting paper the othei
evening before the Asiatic Society oi
Bombay, in which he showed how IN tue
business of horsc-breeding II many us
tricts practically had been destroyed by
the tremendous increase in the export OF
wheat and cotton. He SAID that III
places where formerly one could eaSlly
find fifteen or twenty mares III a Village,
now none or only one or two exist, 'le
reason being that more money is to DC
made out of grain, cotton, etc, thai OUT
of horse-rearing. The zenlndar, alive 10
his own interests, sells his mares anu
puts his money into bullocks, well-dlgS-
ino. etc, to raise what Will pay MN
best. If he could be induced to use his
mares in the plough, in drawing water
for IRRIGATION, and the like, instead OF
his non.productive bullocks, an immense
step would be taken in the right direc-
ton. For various reasons, the chlet OF
which is his intense conservatism, nothing
will persuade him to do this. The zemin-
dar keeps his mare simply to breed from,
and with the exception of leading her IN a
wedding procession, or occasionally rid'
ing her at walk from one village TO an
other, never uses her. So the sale OF heT
produce has to cover the expenses OF hel
keep and leave margin of profit. AS
long as the grass costs nothing and grain
but little, this is all very well, but now
there is not sufficient fodder to be got OIL
the land for the plough-bullocks, and
grass must be bought. Grain too, has
gone up in price. Thus, as the mare
does nothing for her own keep, she be
comes an expensive luxury instead OF a
remuneratve animal, and is disposed OF,
and the zemindar, finding he has lost
money, is very chary of brce1ins horses
again. Hence horse breeding is on the
decline in Irdia, owing mainly to
economic causes,

Different Kinds of Buffalo.

The buffalois is evidently whole-souled
creature, for many hunters have seen the
common domesticated calves OF the from
tier farms standing patiently waiting for
n buffalo to dig place in the snow and
when he had accomplished his task the
calves would eat the grass fearlessly,
sharing. as by right, the fruits of their
bnoe companions toll. Hunters have
often been saved by buffaloes from
terrible death from thirst, says the Illus
trated American. The buffalo, like the
camel and the elephant, has the power of
taking a large amount of water into his
body, and depositing it in the reticulum,
or cells of the honeycombed department
of the stomach, until needed. The hun
ters. therefore, when their vessels are
empty, and they see no sign of stream
within a days travel, promptly slay the
first buffalo that comes in view, for the
sake of the water which they know will
be found in the usual situation. The
bonasus, or zubr buffalo, found in the
Russian forest of Bialowikza, has very
peculiar trait. 1t gives forth powerful
and very pleasant olor, which partakes
equally of musk and violet. This really
delicious perfume is found to penetrate
the whole of the body. to q certain OK
tent, but it is exhalod most powerfully
from the skin and hair which cover the
upper part of the forehead. The zubr in
appearance is very much like our Ameri-
can buffalo, but the hair on the head and
shoulders is more tightly curled and not
so rough or long. To preserve this really
magnificent animal in perfection it is pro-
tectcd by the most rigid forest laws.
The yak, curious species of buffalo,
which is found in western Thibet, has
not only the long mano reaching 10 the
ground, but the tianks are covered with
hair which reaches the ground in long,
thick, silky masses. The hair of the tail
is white, and the Chinese take these tails
to dye red and blue, and then make tas-
sells of them. When domesticated it
needs very little care, foraging for itself

"Oysters are fatter this year than !

usually the fatter an oyster is the poorer
the favor. This is because the fat oyster
has generally been out of the water too
long and has been fed. That is not
wholly the reason this year. They are
fatter anyhow.
