ROPING IN AN ARMY HORSE,
Government Requires Good Mounts
for It's Cavalry.
New York Evening Sun.

New York Evening Sun.
To bring the cavalry and artillery of the
United States army to the highest point of
efficiency good horses are as necessary as
good men. In times of peace the govern
ment authorities have insisted upon having
excellent horses. and now that war has
come their efforts in this direction have
been redoubled. Large shipments of some
fine horses recently arrived at Chickamauga
and Mobile, where the animals We're 'roped
in as the cavalrymen characterize the
process by which the horses are distributed
to the soldiers whose mounts have been
pronounced unfit for further service.
A set of specifications has been laid down.

and the animals chosen for each branch of
service must fulfill the requirements de-
manded.
may be maintained, q yearly report is issued
to the commissary department in the spring
by the proper officer in each cavalry and
artillery regiment throughout the service as
to the number of horses which he will need
in the fall in order to bring his regiment
UP to the requirements of the army regula-
Upon the receipt of these reports the
AGENTS of the government assigned to the
work, usually cavalry or artilley oncers or
long experience are ordered to procure
certain number Of animals. The work is by
re means easy, as, in addition to the respon-
silility of the task. 1t is very difficult TO find
dealers who will dispose of horses combfn-
ing all the peculiar qualifications of good
cavalry or artillery horse at the price or
fered by the government.
Occasionally, however. in times like the
present, when an emergency necessitates the
purchase of horses without any delay, the
restriction as to Price is removed, and quail
itv becomes the only stipulation. The work
OF the purchasing agent is thereupon made
correspondingly easy. though In some in
stances the horse dealers, always sharp at
q bargain take advantage OF the govern
ment's predicaInent and run their prices up
TO an exorbitant figure.

10 the weaker all that is so radiantly beau
tiful in this story Of the good Samaritan,
this was the next stage in the evolving pro-
cess. this was the naturalization of the ideal
man, the consummation of human hope
and struggle, the kingdom of God on earth.
Not yet is the whole of any of these sue
Tessive processes completed. The old saw
agery of the cave jewellers and of the Jer-
icho robbers perpetuates itself in many
parts Of even Christendcm. in many an in

shines the full sun of the gospel of Christ.
The old selfishness. the greed of possession,
the theft and murder-the spirit which
prompted these still lives under polite
names. The old. brutal nature plots and
plumbers with the same savage instincts.
In fine clothes and palace homes still live
the wild men of the caves.
And if there are many who have gotten
away from this lowest of conditions, who
would scorn an injustice and who would
plume themselves upon their strict integrity,
yet how many Of such are still untouched
by the grace of Christianity. Men may say,

others, they do not stoop to bleeding human
fly to bind up it's wounds, and pour upon
needy men the oil Of personal sympathy and
hSlp. With all the light which Christianity
IS blazing upon our human relationships. in
ali the wonderful inspirations which are go
ing on in mems thoughts as to human
brotherhood, it will not do for any man or
woman to go back to the old-time standards
of duty.
It is the Christian principle that God is
now evolving-not that of iron restraint of
justice as the measure of duty. We are liv-
ing in a dspensation where self more and
more forgets it's rights and asks for sacri-
fee, leaves its liberties and joyfully accepts
service. 1t stoops with the Samaritan in the
mountain pass to lift a stranger back to life

found good Samaritan nations, ready to
succor the downtrodden and annoint the
wounds of oppressed peoples. And this
principle shall hold it's onward way till all
the nations espouse it, till all men are con-
trolled by 1t, having the same mind and
purpose of Him who f'cares not to be min
istered unto but to minister

The roll of the drums could be heard,
But he paused at the gate with his mother,
For kiss and a comforting word.
lie was full of the dreams and ambitions
That youth is ready to weave.
And proud of the clang of his sabre
And the chevrons of gold on his sleeve.
He came from the war in the evening
The meadows We're sprinkled with snow,
The drums and the bugles were silent,
And the steps of the soldiers were slow.
He was wrapped in the flag Of his country
When they laid him away in the mold,
With the glittering stars of a captain
Replacing the chevrons of gold
With the heroes who sleep on the hillside
He lies with a flag at his head
But, bhnd with the years Of her weeping,
His mother yet mourns for her dead
The soldiers who fall in the battle
May feel but a moment of pain,
But the women who wait in the homesteads
Must dwell with the ghosts of the slain.

sessing a quality of health and soundness
-tnat IS bound TO see them through many
ups and downs ashore should they elect to
quit the sea when they reach the age of
Wenty-one-Which not many of them do, by
the way. OF course, in order to get into the
navy at all, the apprentice must be sound
OF body but many of the lads only get into
the service by narrow margins, owing to
their being understood or of no very rugged
character of physical makeup. Once they
get to work on the decks of a man-of-war,
providing there is nothing latent and consti-
tutlonal the matter with them, 1t IS amaz-
ing 10 see now the lads begin to spread and
grow. They are put through the most exact
ing exercises, quite aside from their daily
bit of heavy work-exercises that are de-
signed 10 DflnE every muscle OF the BODY
into play-and the result is that they very
soon begin to expand and the steel gets
into their muscles, there to remain as long
as they live. After year or so in the blue
jacket uniform, most naval apprentices be-
gin to look so entirely unlike, to bodily
formation, the way they sized up when
they first entered the naval service, as to
puzzle their own people on visiting days.
When the apprentices emerge from their
apprenticeship and ship over as full fiedged
blue jackets at the seaman gunner rate they
are given first call in the distribution OF
petty officer prizes, and are, as stated. eligi-
BILE for the promotion to the rank of war
rant officers. For these reasons apprentices
are never called upon during the service as
boys to perform any mental tasks on ship
board. The whole idea of naval apprentice
ship in the American navy is to lnculcate
uprightness, dignity and manliness into the
lads, for upon the character of these boys
the future of the forward ends of American
men-of-War is known 10 depend.
There are boys belonging to famous Amer
lean families serving their apprenticeship
in the United States navy, some of them
from choice and others because their people
Rave insisted upon it. These lads were most
of them incorrigibles. when they entered
service. They declined to take advantage
of their opportunities to obtain finished edu-
cations exhibited hookey-playing tend
encies, and showed a strong inclination for

cause of the boys lack of grounding.
Therefore, they put them in as apprentices.
The writer has met at least a dozen lads
who got into the United States navy under
these circumstances. and all of them were
toned down, showing the good stuff that
was in them and needed some such rough
extraction as service in a rough outfit, and
all in fair way to be fit and descent men
when the time arrived for them to doff the
blue-jacket uniform for more comfortable
lives ashore

Food and the Brain.
Nineteenth Century.


Sir Henry Thompson makes the following
remarks upon the altered diet which has
become necessary owing To the eXtraordi-
nary changes affecting man in every rank
of life and mis- surroundings in all parts OF
the civilized world which have taken place
during the last sixty years:
1T is difficult, perhaps impossible, for the
present generation to realize the contrast
presented in respect Of the demand now
made on mans activity, especially that OF
his BRAIN during say. the last thirty or
forty years, with that which was required
by the routine of life as it was in the
'thirties' The wear and tear of existence
has enormously increased, and the demand
for rapid action and intense exeruon by the
nervous system is certainly tenfold greater
Eow, to make moderate estimate, than 1t
was then: A railway appeared IN the nrst
year of the decade named; the penny post
and the electric telegraph not until It's
close while the press, both daily and week
ly, now gigantic, was then by comparison
insignificant and diTninutive. For the great
majority even of business men life was
tranquil and leisure plentiful, while COM
petition was almost unknown; i need not
attempt to describe what it is now. Such
changes have naturally been the cause OF
permanent injury TO many whose powers
sufticed for the quiet time. but gave way ~

inevitable struggle which issues in the sur
vival of the fittest-
1.-The necessary result OF this extreme de-
mand for brain activity since that organ
is the sole source of energy on which all

circumstances nothing can be more impor-
tant than to- provide food of q kind and In

not requiring much mastication. l have
found nothing which fulfills these conditions
so completely as the various concentrated
extracts of meat which are now so extern
sively used. A teaspoonful of sound beef

when the brain is fatigued and the stomach
unfit for work is often the best antidote
possible, reinVigorates the system and pre-
pares it for a hght meal or for little more

Raise her emblem there!

drandmother's Quilting.

One morning late in autumn little
company started for picnic quilting at
grandmother's home. We found her all
ready for business. We were soon seated
around the quilt with busy hands trying
to do all we could for her. We were
happy because grandmother seemed SO
pleased to be remembered. Before we
were aware of the time passing SO quickly
it was the hour for dinner, and grand
mother had her table spread and good
dinner all ready for us to be seated
''around the board.
The afternoon passed all too soon.
Before the sun went down the first snow
of the season began to fall. When the
hour arrived for leaving we started for
home in high glee, feeling that our little
acts of kindness were put down on the
credit page of the Great Book.
Grandmother settled not very early in
life. She married an intelligent man,
one who was unsteady inclined. A son
and three daughters were born to them.
The Youngest daughter died in infancy
the surviving ones have settled, and have
homes of their Own. The son in his hoy
hood days was promising lad. After
reaching mature years he nobly responded
to us country's call in her time of need
He was in a number of engagements on
the battlefelds After the war ended, he
came home and made the most of his
opportunities. He d'ltifully cared for
his parents in their lonely life. The
father passed away some years ago, but
the mother still survives and has passed
the Goth milestone on her journey of life
She is woman who has willing heart
of life. She is a woman of great en-
durance.
| The son was very fortunate in drawing
a prize in bis matrimonial venture. His
| companion is woman who honors the
name of wife and mother. She looketh
well to the ways of her household, and
,
years OF happiness in the family circle
they had share of life's sorrows. The
| death angel came to their home and Sc
| lected a shining mark. Now, after years
have passed, no doubt the parents are
looking forward to the time when ''theil
loved one'' may be the first to greet them
on the shining shore.
Grandmother son is a prominent man
! in the town where he resides, and often
fills places of trust. Grandmother il
gently passing down the declivity of life
while her son and his companion are
! doing all they can to smooth her path
way to the tomb.
Those who attended the quilting in the
years agone still survive. 1t is pleasan
memory to them. Grandmother holds it il
grateful remembrance. Kind acts like
kind words can never die.
