The Land of Horses.

The land of the kangaroo and the
wombat, where the mammal was
nothing unless marsupial, till the Eu.
ropean arrived on the scene, may now
be called the land of horses. In New
South Wales the sight of beggar on
horseback excites no surprise. The
poorest settler has nag or two Of his
own, and his children may be seen
riding to school like little lords. A
one-horse township would be incon-
ceiyable in a country where each vii
lage, almost, has its race meeting.
With a population scarcely over 1850
900, the colony owns more than 100000
horses. And she now exports horses
on rapidly increasing scale. In 1895
the colony exported 1.O63 horses, of
the estimated value of f12, 745; in 1896
the number was S,13S, value f123,50C.
and last year there was a further in
crease, India being the leading Gus
toner, Australian horses being found
admirably adapted for military pur-
ros-s in that part of the British en-
pire. Horses are exported also from
New South Wales to Victoria, New
Zealand, Western Australia, Fiji, the
Straits Settlements, Java and the Phil
ippine Islands, Words.

the same title, she published, some
two years ago, a romance of the Fran
cO-German war, which probably did
more to instil n horror of warfare In
the Fatherland than any other appeal
or number of appeals. lie German
Government tried to suppress the book

the military classes in public opinion,
but the Supreme Court of the Empire
overruled this objection, holding that
persons aggrieved by Madame Won
Suttners statements were at liberty to
sue her for libel.
In one chapter Of her book the Bar
oness pictured the fate of a French
priest, strung UP by order of a Ba-
varian general. who accused him OF
being a spy. This general happened to
be still alive, and, though admitting
the execution. demanded that the Bar
oness be punished for making known
military secrets"
Frau voa Suttner was fined. and she
cheerfully paid, saying she could not
wish for better advertisement Of her
holy course.

HOW TEETH ARE TREATED

It Is curious to what IN extent the
mutilation Of teeth goes on among say
age nations, and even among certain
civilized people, such as the Japanese
With them a girl Is never married
without first staining her teeth black
with a repulsive kind of varnish, and
the custom is especially adhered tc
among the richer classes.
On the west coast of Africa large
portion of the teeth are deliberately
broken when children reach certain
age. Both in the new world and In
the old the custom exists of extract
ing the two front teeth Of domestic
servants. In Peru the custom has ex
listed from time immemorial, and used
to be a sign of slavery in the days Of
the Incas. This Is also the custom on
the Kongo, and among the Hottentots
Teeth are stained in various colors
among tle Malays.
A bright red and bright blue are
not uncommon, and bright green Is
produced with the aid Of arsenic and
lemon juice. Livingstone related tina,
among the Kaffirs a child with prom
inent upper jaw was looked upon as
a monster and Immediately killed. On
the Upper Nile the negroes have all
their best teeth extracted in order to
destroy their value in the slave mar
ket, and to make 1t net worth while
for the slave traders to carry them OH.

II have read good many stories,"

girls fresh from school, or refined old
maids who live in village, and they
nre read by men who thoughtfully
