An Officer and His Horse Show Wonder
full Endurance and Courage.
The Russian Kogak officer, Kenike.
who last June undertook to ride horse
back from Krashoe Selo, a suburb of
St. Petersburg, to Chitta, in eastern ST.
IBERIA, q distance of about 5000 miles,
has, according to the Novoe Vremya,
accomplished a third of his journey,
having arrived at Uffa. Kcnike's enter
prise is interesting not only on account
Of the great distance to be covered and
the speed at which he was riding. but
also because of the simplicity with
which he is accomplishing his self-im-
posed task.
The horse is an Anglo-Arab, q de-
scendant of the famous Count Rostop-
chin's stud. He is not young horse,
but has all the qualities necessary to
accomplish the task laid upon him.
| The saddle which he carries is of the or
binary rough type of the Cossack. The
kit consists only of absolute necessities
for rider and horse, and an extra set of
horseshoes, with shoeing implements.
His master grooms him and shoes him
himself when necessary. Kenikc eX-
poets to complete the entire distance in
$50 days, 80 of which he reserevs for
halts. The horse and rider are reported
| to be in capital condition.

Original Alarm Clocks.

Mr.. Rockhill, in his "Diary of a Jour
ney Through Mongolia and Tibet" men
lions curiously ingenious device some
times employed by Mongolian letter
carriers: These carriers make very
long journeys on foot, and within time
which allows them only the briefest in
tervals for an occasional nap. To in
sure themselves against oversleeping,
therefore, they tie piece of joss-sticlS
to one of their thumbs, light it and lie
down and rest. When the stick burns
down to the flesh the pain awakens
them, and they resume their Journey.

is a scattering membership in Indiana.
Chic. Michigan, nearly all of the northern
states and some of the southern. In one
ps rticular respect the convention will diff

stead of addresses, papers and discussions
most of the time will be given TO practical
demonstrations OF the various kinds of
work pertaining to these lines of ndus-
try.
A vacant church building, With Two

creameries and cheese factories has been
placed in position and the most approved

much more value than listening to theo-
rettcal discussions OF the part of those
gifted with the ability TO talk. There are
also refrigerator and pastnerizing exhib-
Its in the same rooms. This practical
