UNCLE SANS CHARGERS.
How Cavalry Horses Are Selected FoB
the United States Army.

I happened TO be at the Presidio not
long since when the contractor for furnish
ing cavalry horses TO tho government SUBJ
mitted several animals to board of army
officers detailed to make the final inspec-
ton. OF the horses presented only one
was rejected, and that was on account of
cold brought about by exposure to drafts
while i'm transit from the point of prelim-
mary inspection TO San Francisco.
A preliminary inspection is made at the
place where the contractor purchases tho
animals by n representative OF the govern
ment, who generally accompanies the con-
tractor on his horse purchasing trips, thus
avoiding the expense of buying horses
which are surc TO be subsequently rejected
for various defects. At the preliminary
inspection few first class, many fair and
a suporabundancc of Indifferent and medi-
ocre horses arc presented. The contractor
informed me that about one of every 30
examined at the preliminary inspection
comes up 10 tho requirements; that he had
travelled for three and four days at time,
visited horse ranches and looked at several
hundred horses without seeing one that
came up to the specifications. was also
informed that the class of horses required
by the government are getting very scarce
in California, and that many of the cav
airy horses now at the Preside were pur-
chased in The states OF Oregon and Wash
ington.
Cavalry horses are purchased by the
quartcrmastcr's department under the
contract system. Proposals for furnishing
cavalry horses arc invited, and the con
tract Is awarded TO the lowest bidder. The
cavalry horse must be n golding Of hardy
color, 4 10 8 years old, l5la hands high,
and weigh about / 200 pounds. He must
be gentle under the saddle, free and
prompt at the walk, trot and gallop; broad
forehead; eyes largo and prominent, and
possess perfect vision. He is thoroughly
examined for splints. side bones, ring
bones, curbs, spavins and any trouble, To-
cal or constitutional, which may tend TO
shorten his usefulness or render the ami
NAL unserv.ccable. The nostrils should be
large and occupy nearly the whole facial
structure. The mouth should be small,
with thin, firm lips. The eyes should be
largo and iuild, with fine eyclids. The
ears should be delicate and pointed. The
feet should be of medium size, due regard
being given 10 the size and shape OF the
horse and there should be no visible diff
ference In the feet as TO size and form.
The tail H. more ornamental in well bred
than underlined horses. fine silk manc
oharacterizes well bred horses.
The cavalry horse must be without blem-
ish or defect. sound in every particular.

Ages OF Marriage.

Better than fortune teller predictions
is the table recently prepared by n statis-
tician by which ono can forctell the prob
able age of ones future helpmeet-tbat is
TO say, he has tabulated the age at which
men at various stages in their life prefer
their wives to be. Young men Of Is and
10 years, it seems, generally select wives
of their own age, but with increasing
years comes wisdom, and at 20 a man pre-
fers a woman of from 2l 10 "a years. This
indeed seems To be very desirable age for
an unmarried woman, for it remains the
favorite for tho man in search of a wife
until he has passed his twenty ninth year.
At 30 he likes best the women who are
anywhere from five years to ono year
younger than himself and be is constant
in this preference up to his fortieth year.
Then he is willing that she shall be tis
much as ten years younger than himself,
but will not have her II she be his equal in
years, an opinion which he holds for half "a
decade At from 10 to 90 no looks for less
disparity, preierring women from 40 to 80,
and in the next five years he has the same
choice. Thereafter he prefers u woman ten
years younger than himsclf.-San Fran.
