Famous American War Horses.

The most celebrated battle steeds of
The civil war were Cincinnati, Travel
err and Winchester, the favorite
chargers of Grant, Lee and Sheridan.
When the hero of Vicksburg visited
Cincinnati few months after the close
of that brilliant campaign, he was re-
quested to visit dying man who was
exceedingly DESTROYS to see him. When
they met the invalid said: General
Grant, l wish to give you noble horse
who has no superior on the continent,
as testimony of my admiration for
your character and past services to
our country. There is condition at
tached to the gift-that you will al
ways treat him kindly" Grant ac-
copied the magnificent bay, of course
faithfully keeping his promise, and
named him Cincinnati. He was son
of Lexington, with single exception
the fastest four-mile thoroughbred
that ever ran on an American course.
The generel was offered $4,000 for the
horse, as he had a record of speed
almost equal to that of his famous
half-brother, Kentucky. Cincinnati
was superb and spirited steed of
great endurance. Grant riding him
almost constantly during the Wilder
ness campaign, and passing from end

Grows on the Banks of the Gauges and

One of the latest botanical discov-
cries of interest to seekers for health
is called Alkavis. from the Kava-Kava
shrub of India. 1t is being imported by
the Church Kidney Cure company OF
New York, and is certain cure for
several bodily disorders. The Kava-
Kava shrub, or, as botanists call 1t,
piper Methysticum, grows on the
banks Of the Ganges river, and probab-
ly was used for centuries by the natives
before its extraordinary properties be-
came known to civilization through
Christian missionaries. In this re-
spect 1t resembles the discovery of quiz
nine from the peruvian bark, made
known by the Indians to the early
missionaries in South America, and by
them brought to civilized man. 1t Is a
wonderful discovery, with record of
1900 hospital cures in thirty days. It
acts directly upon the blood and kid
neys, and is true specific, just as quiz
nine is in malaria. We have the strong

Coats of Mail for MilIIOnaires.

A story is floating about to the effect
that four American millionaires have
recently had made in Sheffield, Eng
land, steel waistcoats and coats which
are warranted to secure them immu-
nifty from death in ordinary cases Of at
tempts at assassination. The armor is
of chain mail, so light that when one
has worn it week or two 1t is no in
cumbrance to him, and strong enough
to turn a dagger or sword thrust,
The n it would not stop a bullet. A

proceeds, have been using this armor
since the days of the Fenian riots.

HISTORY OF GLOVES.
They Have Played "a Great Part In the
Annals of Romance.


Gloves have breathed defiance
from knight to knight, served as
pledges OF love between cavaliers and
ladies fair, hung upon the affairs Of
gloomy medieval churches, mute wit
nesses to the VOWS of pious devotees;
have been fastened upon church walls
as challenges to mortal combat from
foe to foe, says Lippincott's. They
have embellished the pages of history,
the annals of romance, the flights of
poesy and more than once have borne
in their perfumed palms the seeds OF
death. Whence or where the glove
originated is unknown. A plausible
theory suggests that the early mas in
vented them for use in his slow and
painful labor among the bushes. A
very rough, homely glove 1t must have
been, of untanned skins or coarse fab
ric, and fingerless.
They are mentioned In Homer as
having been worn by Laertes in his
retirement, and Xenophon makes men
tion of Cyrus gloves. Their use was
held up to scorn by both these writers
and among orientals was considered
a mark Of effeminacy. They were worn
by the Greek pugilists and wrestlers
and when introduced In Rome made
rapid progress in popularity among
men Of wealth and nobility. Under
the emperors they developed fingers
called digitalia. Athenaeus relates
story of a celebrated glutton who used
to wear gloves at the table in order
to finger the meat while 1t was hot and
so devour more than his companions.
1t is not known how they reached Brit
ain, but 1t must have been at an early
period. Mention Is made of them in
the poem of Beowulf. AS the word is
of Saxon origin, from glof, they may
have been introduced by that people;
but their use was never common until
after the advent of the Normans and
then it was restricted to the gentlemen
of the noble and royal families
