THE WILD HORSE.
Only Genuine Specimens Vow to Be
Pound Are In Western china.

The horse has become so thorough
ly domesticated in all parts of the
world that really wild representatives
OF the species are extremely rare. There
still exist in parts of Hungary par
italy wild horses, but these when cap
tured young may be broken in aud
put 10 harness with as much readiness
as horses reared on a farmstead. II
is. however. far different with the wild
horses of the Tartars. which are UNI
tameable and will not live in captivity.
During his journey through western
China g. +. Grum Grizmalio met with
and, after much trouble, succeeded N
securing two specimens, though Meth
er of them were taken alive. The
herds are extremely cautious, and il
was only by the utmost patience and
cunning that explorers were able to
conceal themselves near enough to a
small salt lake where the horses came
to drink to shoot a couple of them. The
wild horse has something in common
with the Alta, Caucasian and Finnish
ponies. II is of short stature. &C
meter high-has broad chest and back,
short, massive neck, and fine legs, rs
elegant as those of race horse, ending
with broad hcofs.
The head is rather heavy In com
parison to the body. but the wide fore
head is handsome, the line from the
forehead 10 the nose straight, and
the upper lip covers the lower one.
The upper part of the tail has the
color of the body, but black at the
point, and. like that of the wild ass,
Is not entirely covered with hair.
The name begins In front of the ears,
the longest hairs being in its middle
part; 1t is black in color, and hangs over
to the left. In the scantiness of hair
about the body the wild horse rather
resembles the Tekke Turcomane horse,
but the killed Specimens had strange
looking pair of whisiers, about four
centimeters long running from the ears
to the chin. Its color is sandy In sum-
mer and light brown in winter, with
nearly white parts on the abdomen. The
forehead and cheeks are rather darker
than the rest o. the body, while the
thd VI tue suOut Is NuittSn. ne legs
are black, the spinal mark hardly ex-
lists, and entirely disappears in winter
In its manners and mode of life the
wild horse differs from the wild asses
the Ojighetais and the Kulans. They
stay in preference in the desert, while
the asses prefer the mountains. The
wild horses march in Indian file when
shey scent danger, and leave in the des-
crit their track in the shape of well de
fined paths as they march from theiI
abodes amidst the desert hillocks ia
their drinking places. They neigh
exactly like and have the characters.

q WASHINGTON.
II is generally supposed that Wash
inptou AZ tina; time was building other
houses than his home on capitol hill.
because he USES the plural in request
ing that material NAV be purchased for
carrying on his buildings. and he also
speaks 81 two houses 10 be built in a GER
ain style There Is nothing on record
to show how much washington's resi-
dence cost. but il must have been con-
siderable. because in those days Of slow
t-aYel. when the bricks were brought
across the ocean in sailing ships. and
" hen experienced hricklayers were able
to command high wages. the building
must have been very expensive indeed.
Although only three stories high. IL was
a very large house for that day. IL
vas intended TO be the best house in
Federal City. for George Washington
fully realized the fact that he was first
in war. first in peace and first in the
heart. 81 his eountrymen."
I; is a pity that IL Is necessary to add
To- the house. or change 1t in any way:
but the grading Of capitol hill was a
necessity. IN order to develop the to-
Biography which would give the city a
homogeneous landscape. Therefore
the two lower stories were added.
The house originally was surmounted
with a garnet, n tall. sloping roof and
dcrmer windows. Some vandal. to mod
ernie the appearance of this most sa-
cred relic. replaced the garnet roof and
dormer windows with a mansard roof.
which deprived the building Of the ap
pearanee of antiquity to which IL was
entitled. II is known that the resi-
dence originally stood upon a beautiful
terrace, assembled by stone steps: but
there is no picture Of the original build
ing extant. The house originally stood
alone and was surrounded with hedge
fences, similar to those which adorn
the beautiful Mount Vernon home OF
Washington even until this day. A
great deal of the best property on CAPT
iol hill was purchased by Washington,
jefferson. Carroll and other prominent
men, who believed that great city
would rapidly grow around the capitol
and other federal buildings. In thi,
they were mistaken, because the city
has grown away of to the northwest
ard property on capitol hill is not even
yet of great value.

George Nashington's Federal City
residence was built after the masonic
idea, facing east. Ii stands upon a par
allel with the capitol building. upon
what is now North Capitol street. In
that early day. looking from the front
of the house, the eye rested upon a
plateau of meadow land. which was
bounded by the horizon-tipped hills Of
Maryland. To-day. looking from the
front windows of the hos.ss.---sse view is
obstructed by rows of brick houses;
and all around the place there hs.e
been builded residences, houses of
merchandise. factories and public
buildings, while the original village has
grown into ciiyhood. There are more
than three hundred thousand people
now residing within the District of Co
lumbia.
For many years the celebrated house
has been used as a third-rate or fourth
rate hotel. The local newspapers have.
from time to time. suggested to con-
gress the ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing
this building and preserving it for its
historic associations. The congress,
however, is not sentimental. but prac-
tical: and there seems no likelihood
that anything will he done in that di-
reetion. For many years the house in
which Abraham Lincoln died was used
as a boarding house. and only in the last
few years has an association been
formed to preserve it. Nothing has been
done, and nothing now seems likely to he
done, to purchase or perpetuate this
historic place.
The old roof line is plainly visible,
although the modern mansard sets in
on both sides, and forms an obtuse angle
where it joins the original line of COW
ering. An additional building has been
erected on the north side of the house.
but the bricks used are so different that
no amount of painting can obliterate
the line of demarkation. Viewed from
the back yard, some of the original
foundation stones can be seen at the top
of the second story. The house now
contains 10 rooms. but originally there
were only 30 apartments.
IL George Washington could come
back on earth to-day, he would un-
doubtedly be surprised TO find his orig
inL palatial residence converted into
boarding house, with the big receD-
tion-room fixed up as a hotel Office:
fir escapes along the south front, and
q balcony clear across the second story,
where his foundation stones were laid.
He would find no bronze knecker on the
big front door, but in its stead, would
discover an electric button.
Admiral Wilkes, of the navy. Dur.
chased the mansion from the Wash
ington heirs, and sold IL to John TaItv,
an Ifsh-American saloonkeeper, who
managed pooiroom and barroom at
one-time prominent hotel, and be-
came wealthy in that business. When q
law was passed against gambling, John
Tally moved across the District bound
airy. and kept up that business. He
rented the house TO a man named Hill.
man, who gave ii his name, and il is 70
this day popularity known as the Hill
man house. Mr.. HiIlman was in busi-
ness there for 20 years, but the building
is now temporarily unoccupied.
When the British soldiers destroyed
tie capitol building and rayaged the
little city in 1s14. they respected the
residence of Washington, and il was moi
injured nor invaded.

In 1892. with bricks brought from
England. Washington built residence
for himself upon capitol hill, within
one block of the grounds set apart as
reservation for the Capitol park. The
building still stands as il was erected.
but two stories have been added TO
it. In 1872. when the city was being
revamped by Alexander Shepherd,
when hills were cut down and low
grounds filed in; when streets We're
paved and whole blocks of squatters'
houses destroyed, il was decreed that
capitol hill should be graded so as to
conform with the general plan adopted
for a regeneration of the national cap
ital.
The old home OF Washington was re
eartied as a sacred relic of the original
city. which must not he destroyed.
Therefore, while the grading of capitol
hill was being done, two stories were
added to the building; but they were
basement stories. That is to say. the
building was undermined and two
stories were built beneath the original
