we're horses OF the usual size and ap-
~pearance, and so far as is known there
Is no reason for Dots extremely small
stature.
When born Dot was not much larger
than a kitten, and had to be fed by her
owner from the beginning. Great care
was given the tiny colt In the effort to
raise her, and now she is full grown,
almost perfectly formed and vigorous
In health, but only as. big as a full
grown Newfoundland dog.
Offers Of large sums have been made
Mr.. Hunton by museum and circus
managers for Dot, who is, Of course,
much wanted for exhibition purposes
These have all been refused. because
Mr.. Hunton's daughter is so much at
tached to the family pet that he has
not been able to secure her consent.
Being wealthy himself, 1t Is probable
that those who wish to see the tiniest
horse on the globe will have to see 1t
on the farm of It's owner.

Az Ordinarily Made They Do Not
Cost Much Money.
As commonly made, cycle-paths are
not expensive, and, the cost being gen
orally contributed by the wheeimen
themselves, no tax for this purpose Is
placed upon the public at large
Whether this should be so is a question
that will stand some discussion; but
thus far the cyclists have sought only
to impose a small assessment upon ac'
tual users Of the wheel when money has
been needed to construct c~ycle-paths
Two years ago Mr.. Charles t. Ray
mond, Of Lockport, New York, one OF
the pioneers in c~ycle-path construction,
declared that what Is used by all, and
needed by all, should be paid for by
ALL" and this rule has commanded ap-
proval among wheelmen who have
taken up the work of cycle-path max
ing.
Under lavoring conditions, cycle
paths eost from seventy-fve to one
hundred and fifty dollars per mile. The
surface width of the path should not be
less than four feet, and need not be
more than seven feet, except in rare
cases. The paths are generally laid out
on the grass-grown roadside, parallel
with the wagonway. The grass is first
cut close to the ground, after which the
material (soft coal, cinders, or screened
graveD is put on In a thin layer, and SO
chapel and packed as to slope down
ward from the center to each side.
The grade in most cases follows
closely the original surface Of the
ground. Material may generally be
mad at lower cost, and hauled at less
expense during the winter months; and
this Is an important point to bear IN
mind, since the item of haulage alone Is
likely TO constitute more than half tbs
expense of construction.-Century.
