THE SPREAD THE HORSE.

Whether there are any truly wild
horses at the present day is moot
point. The only animals that can lay
claim to that title are the so-called
tarpan of the steppes of Central Asia,
which formealy ranged as far west
ward as the Volga. Some authorities
are of the opinion that these tarpan
are truly wild race, while by others
they are regarded as feral-that- is to
say, descended from a domesticated
stock 1t is nndoubted that droves of
tarpan at times receive an influx of
feral animals; but whether they are
feral or truly wild-and the evidence
seems rather in favor of their wild ori-
gin-they undoubtedly resemble the
ancestral type of the horse. This, of
course, will be due in the one case to
reverson, and in the other to di-
rect Inheritance. They are rather
small, clumsy built animals, with re-
markably ugly heads, their general
color being dun. During the Pleisto-
Gene period, horses of similar type to
the tarpan wandered over great part
of Europe and Western Asia, as it is
attcsted by heir fossilized remains
and from other evidence it is probable
that at the epoch in question the ply
steal condition of much of Europe was
similar to that of the Asiatic steppes
at the present day. Such conditions
would seem, indeed, to be essential for
the existence of wild horses, which are
animals specially adapted for the life
on the open plains, where they find
safety iE flight. 1t is true that wild
horses were found in Europe at much
later epoch, when the country he'd be-
come forest-clad; but it is quite pos
isble that these were really feral races.
When we come to the consideration of
the place and time of the first domes-
tication of the horse, the usual differ
ence of opinion prevails among those
most capable of forming judgment.
1t was at one time considered that the
horse was first domesticated in the
East, but later authorities are more
inclined to think that the wild horse
was also subjugatcd by the stone-im-
plement makers of Western Europe.
Such race is considered to have given
rise to the ordinary European breeds;
but thoroughbred horses are probably
of Eastern origin. Whether both the
Eastern and Western breeds were de-
rived from the tarpan cannot be deter
mined; but it is evident that the latter
breed either originated from an animal
with more ''bood," or that more at
tention was paid to its development.
We naturally look to Arabia as the
ancestral home of the Eastern race;
but this is mistake, as the horse is
known to a comparatively late intro
duction into that country, the Arabs
even as late as the time of Strabo hav-
ing neither horses nor asses and COM
ing to battle mounted on camels.

which had been left behind; and we
saw the dead lying as they lay on the
evening OF the action, still unburied.
Many had, however, undergone the
process of stripping, though by whom
1T was impossible for us to guess; and
all were beginning to emit an odor tie
reverse unacceptable to delicate organs;
but we could not pause to give them
sepulture; and both the sight and smell
were too familiar to affect us very
deeply. We pushed on, and arriving
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon at a
convenient piece of ground, halt was
ordered. There all the customary ar
rangements of lighting fires, piling
arms and planting outposts, were gone
through; and here, under the shelter

erations very infinitely. Enough is

barkation. The boats were already on
the beach in great numbers; a couple
of gun-brigs were moored, as before,
within cables length of the shore; and
the sailors in crowds, were waiting to
receive us, and to convey us to our re-
spective vessels. No hearty cheering,
however, gave notice this time of the
satisfaction of these brave fellows with
the results of the expedition. On the
contrary, a solemn silence prevailed
among them; and even the congratu-
lations, on the safe return of their in
dividual acquaintances, were accom-
panied by an expression Of deep sor-
row for the loss of General Ross, and
the profitless issue of the inroad. In
this humor they conducted us, regi-
ment by regiment to the boats; and
the evening was as yet very little ad-
vanced, when the whole army, with all
it's material and stores, found itself
again lodged on board of ship.

NO ~

to say, during the period known as the
"old kingdom-the horse was unknown
in the Nile Valley; the animal not
making its appearance in the frescoes
till about the year 1900 &c. Proba-
bly, the horse entered Egypt via Mes
opotamia and Syria, where, as we learn
from the Nineveh sculptures, it had
long been known. 1t has been we'll
remarked that even these sculptures
afforded evidence that the horse
was comparatively new animal to the
Assyrians-that is to say. these war;
riors were not such splendid riders as
were the Parthians at later date, and
as are the Turkomans now. II any of
my readers will visit the British Mu-
scum and inspect the Assyrian sculp-
lures, he will scarcely fail to notice
that, whereas those mounted warriors
who are armed with spear manage
THUR own horses, such as carry bow
have their horses led by comrade.
Manifestly, the Assyrian warrior was
incapable of managing his steed when
both his hands were occupied with his
weapon and he was thus far less
accomplished horseman than the Par
THAN or Turkoman.
Although the evidence is not deci-
sive, the probability is that the horse
was first introduced into Assyria from
Persia. The ancient records of India
indicate that horses were by no means
common there, while such as there
were excelled neither in strength,
speed, nor beauty. The Indian climate
is, indeed, unsuited for the animal land
there is no doubt that it was original
ly introduced from the North. But
the original horse must have come
from somewhere, and the probability
is that the nomad Mongols in the East
and the Turkomans in the West-still
some of the most splendid horsemen
the world has ever seen-where the
first Asiatic tribes to subdue the no
blest of man s servants. This being so,
and Turkestan and Mongolia being the
home of the tarpan, it follows-if our
premises are true-that not only are
the latter really wild animals, but that
the thoroughbred of the East has the
same ancestry as the underbred animal
of the West, and consequently that
"blood" is merely a matter of careful
selection and breeding for countless
centuries, and is not due to inherent
superiority oforigin. From the plains
of Turkestan the horse spread in one
direction to the Punjab and the plains
of Hindustan, and in the other through
Persia to Mesopotamia and Assyria,
and thence westward to Egypt and
southwark to Arabia. Among the
Arabs it soon became indispensable to
its master; and, as already said, this
intimate relation between man and
quadruped renders it difficult to believe
that Arabia is not the original home
ofthe horse. Uncivilized races, though
highly conservative in some matters,
in others soon adapt themselves to
new circumstances; and the cass OF the
North American Indians affords an
example of the rapidity with which a
people among whom the horse was I'M
known can develop into a race ofhorse-
men. Had we not historic evldence
to the contrary, there is, indeed, no
saying but that the original subjuga-
ton of the horse might have been at
tributed to the Tndian of the prairies.

CLEANING FURNITURE.

One reason why people fail in clean.
ing furniture coverings is that they
are too economical in the use of
naphtha. 1t must be literally poured
on to be effective. Standing in the
breeze, it will evaporate very quickly,
and will destroy every vestige of
moths. If the articles are to be left
in the house, they may be wrapped in
sheets tightly pinned around them.
This keeps a certain amount of tho
odor in the furniture for long time.
and renders it doubly safe.
1t cannot be too strongly emphasized
that no light of any kind must be
taken into the rooms while the
naphtha cleaned articles recently
finished are there. The inaammable
nature of naphtha vapor makes it ex.
ceedingly dangerous when brought
near fame.
Cushions, carpets and wool draperies
may safely be cleaned in this way, and
all that is necessary is to throw all
draperies over line in the yard, open
the windows, remove the wrapping
from the furniture, and let the breeze
have full sweep through the rooms
for day or two. Then there will be
no offensive smell, and the furniture
may be used with perfect safety SO
far as danger from fire is concerned.

KEEPING UP FERTILITY.

One of the surest marks of q good
gardener is that he is always on the
lookout to have on hand an ample
supply of fertilizing matter for the
soil. How reasonable that is. and yet
strange to say one meets with persons
who. Judging only by their acts, seem
to think that plants do not need food.
They need it quite as much as do-ani-
mails; both grow from that on which
they feed. 1t is true all cultivated
soil contains some plant food in the
shape OF vegetable humus. deposited
there in one way or another in the
past. But the good gardener looks
upon present fertility as sort of
revenue, and sees to it that enough
manure is applied to the soil each year
to meet the needs of the current crops.
1t would be lesson to some amateur
gardeners to visit the successful mar
ket gardens of our large cities and see
how, year after year, thick coats IF
manure, thirty or forty tons to the
acre, are applied. The Silver Knight.

THE PORTAL TRELLIs.

The beautiful spider web tracery eff.
fected in rope work is one of the
artistic devices for "bringing down
the ceiling" i. e., shortening the APP
parent height of doorway where
sliding door and portieres are in use.
Sometimes the upper space is occupied
with strips of ornamental open wood
work. Both these decorative schemes
involve busting. The wood lattice
work can be freed of dust by patient
use of the bellows or soft end of
cloth used in the crannies. This is a
dangerous performance, because it
must be done On the step ladder. If
the rope work has been gilded or
silvered it should not be busted ex-
cept with a feather buster, because
handling will make the metallic sheath
crack off in flakes.

FEEDING SITTING HENS.

Sitting hens never get fat. In fact.
with some of the persistent sitters of
the Asiatic breeds, the emi-starvation
to which they expose themselves is,
perhaps, better for their future as egg
producers than high feeding would be.
Still it is not best to let this starvation
go too far. The hen will not eat nor
drink much, but if food and drink ere
offered early in the morning, some Of
both will be taken. We never feed a
sitting hen anything but wheat, and
do not give very much of that. It is
more important that the hen drink
freely than that she eat much. She
will sometimes drink if milk is offered
to her at night. With wheat in tho
morning and milk at night, the hen
will lose fat, but will be healthier and
ready to go to laying again by the
time her clutch of chickens Is grown
large enough to care for themselves.

In Terror From Muskrats.

Residents of WaItham are in terror
of their lives. because of the prcva.
lence of muskrats of huge size about
the streets. These rats are supposed
to come from number of old drains
about the city. in which they breed,
and sally out at MI ht to attack peace
full pedestrians.
Early one morning Conductor W.
F. Phelps, of the Fitchburg Railroad,
was coming down the railroad track
and was attacked by large rat, which
tried to fasten its teeth. in the con.
ductor's leg. The latter drew his ro-
volver and fred two shots into the rat
before it was killed.
A few nights ago DR.. Fred NJ. Stiles
had death struggle with o rat which
lay In wait for him in front OF his
house on Moody street. DR.. Stiles
picked up o barrel staye in self.
defence and hit the rat with it as tho
latter rushed at him. but it broke
short off in his hand, and the animal
sprang at him again and again, until
it was finally stunned by lucky
blow. 1t was as large as a grown cat
and had teeth two inches long.
But the nerviest attack was made
upon Patrolman Cannon. A rat
jumped ON him and climbed up his
legs, biting him all the WHILE. The
policeman drew his club and after q
hard struggle succeeded in beating of
the animal. Boston Herald.

II has frequently happened chat min
90 have discovered curious traces Of
former workings, hundreds Of years
ago, and tools have been found which
belonged to the ancient miners, and
many other relics.
A singular discovery was made.
few years since, by some workmen en-
gagged in the Spanish silver mine known
a. the White Pebble Pit. While dig
cling their subterranean passages they
suddenly found series of apartments,
In which were quantity of mining
tools, left there from a very remote
period, but still in such good preserva-
ton that there were hatchets, and
sleeves for sitting the ore, q smelling
furnace, and two anvils, which proved
the earliest miners had great expert
ence In their operations.
In one Of the caverns there was
round building, with inches, in which
were three statues, one sitting down,
and half the size Of life; the other two
were In standing position, and about

supposed to have been the temple of
the god who was believed, In pagan
times, to preside over mines. Several
objects OF art, and some remarkable
instruments, were also found, which
have led scientific persons to think that
the workings might have been made
by the Phoeniclans, the people who, as
Is well known, were, in the time Of Sol
ONION, famous for their manufacturing
and commercial genius.
In 1854 discovery was made by
some miners excavating on the other
side Of the mountain on which the
White Pebble Pit is situated; this was
