For several days there have been re-
ports TO the effect that thousands of
horses for cavalry use have been order
ed by the British Government. to be
purchased at the East Buffalo market,
and an investigation in quarters where
horses are sold gained the following in
formation, from one who knows, says
the Buffalo Times:
Cavalry horses? Yes, we have sold
hundreds of them i'll the past two weeks,
and the orders are entirely separate
from the million-dollar order for cab
and coach horses. | have been oyerrun
with inquiries about that foreign ORDER
but we got it in time to show England
what good horses are, and rs result
we have man here who is picking up
every horse that will fill the bill as cav
airy horse and that lie can get his
hands on. { we can get enough of that
kind we can Guido the cab and coach
order. l am not at liberty TO tell you
this young Englishman's business, be
cause he did not want it known, but the
unusual and very large purchases Of
that particular kind of horse could not
but give it away what he was buying.
Since l returned from England l have
been kept on the jump picking horses
for shipment. / don't have time to read

To Prevent Superfuous Hairs.

Sufferers from superfuous hairs are
often much exercised in their minds as
to what to use on their face in order TO
keep it smooth and clear. especially
when it is inclined to become rough
as so many skins are inclined TO do
anything of greasy nature naturally
having tendency TO increase the
growth, but they will find that n judi
ciOus use of lemon and milk, used each
time after washing, will go long way
toward hindering the advent of pimples
and keeping the skin in that condition
they wish it to attain. In mixing this
very simple application it only requires
a quarter of n pint of milk, less rather
than more, and the juice of n whole
lemon. This mixture will keep good if
well corked down for two or, perhaps,
three days; but if possible to do so, it is
far better to mix it freshly every day.

Our Lake Commerce.

The commerce of the great lakes Is
rapidly exceeding the American COM
merce on the ocean. The number of YES
sells now contracted for or building for
1896 is siXty-five, with n valuation of
SS.J49,OO0. OF these fOrty-twO are
freight boats. with capcity of $4,000
gross tons. The coast ship building for
the year will be only 100 vessels, with a
total valuation of $6.O40, 400, and most
OF these are passenger and pleasure
boats. In the river yards twenty-four
vessels are being constructed. to cost
S53I $50. The largest vessel planned in
the coast yards is $50 feet long, while
the smallest of the lake freghterS is
326 feet III length. These figures, Of
course, do not include the work in the
navy yards. 1t is evident that the great
lakes are to furnish the traffic route of
the future from the interior, and with a
ship canal to the Atlantic coast, which
must eventually be constructed, the
next generation Will see their waters
covered by fleet whose numbers are
beyond the reach of Imagination at
present.

For certain performance of an opera
by Verdi, one Of the sopranos was to
take the role of page boy. She was rath-
er disliked on account Of her bitter
tongue and good opinion of herself.
There was n dress rehearsal in which
she appeared in boys clothes, and, be-
ing in bad temper, insulted the leading
tenor. His wife was present, and, being
of a rathervindictive turn, resolved upon
revenge. Her quick eye had found out
that much of the new pages shape was
artificial. SO she made some banderillaS
with colored paper and long needles
and waited in the wings during the
evening performance. Down came the
page six or seven minutes before her
call; accomplices held her in conversa
ton while the wife of the tenor stuck n
banderilla into the calf of each leg
Needless to say the needles penetrated
only padding. and when the young page
bounded on to greet his master-the
tenor-with song, there was such roar
from the house and such scene on the
stage as are better imagined than de-
