plenty of feed to be found. The North
ern horse is better in time of battle
than the Southern, being less fiery. On
long marches he is, however, not as
good, as he gives out sooner. The Blue
Grass thoroughbred forgets that he is
tired and marches all day long to his
death. The Maine horse gets tired,
comes to a standstiH and lies down.
That was the trouble in Cuba.
"A horse must be hardy and not too
high bred, or he cannot stand the ocean
voyage. Once there and he will be pa
tient, willing and good tempered. Such
a horse, one that will stand still while
it's rider is doing a bit of sharp-shoot-
ing, and one that will peacefully MUNICH
the grass by the side of a smoking can
non, is the ideal war horse.
THE horses that carried Lee and
Sheridan through the war We're of this
sort, though the pictures always show
them prancing, paving the air and try
ing to unhorse their riders. Small sue
cess a general would have in battle if
both of his hands We're busy guiding
the horse. A thorough battle horse
comes to a standstiu at a pressure of
the knees, and remains stock still untU
told to move on. He can run, of courses
and many an escape he manages fol
his master. That is the kind of battle
horse they are buying for the PAilip-
pine campaign"

New York. July 14.-There is a great
temptation to date this letter "Inde-
pendence Month" not only because the
Fourth of July comes now, but because
of the independence of the summer
fashions which for men were never so
odd, so varied, nor so dependent upon
individual taste. The man who does
not want to dress exactly like his
brother need not do so. He can choose
a costume as different in color, in cloth
and in cut as he may desire.
The widest departure from conven-
tionaIism came in an order from the
Prince of Wales, whose Master of the
Wardrobe procured for him, from the
looms of the United States, one hum
dred international neckties. These con-
sist of the British flag and the Stars
and Stripes woven in the same tie, one
end British, one end American. That is
a truly AnGlO-American alliance. No
similar ones have been worn yet in this
country, but doubtless they will be seen
at the summer resorts where all things
ornate do flourish
VERY GAY TROUSERS.
The business mans Prince Albert for
the stay-at-hOme is a handsome affair
made of gray flannel, closely woven, and
in texture not unlike ladies' cloth. 1t
is short for a Prince Albert, is single
breasted and has no pockets on the
outside. Inside breast pockets and one
pocket in the tail are all.

the hat of her best young man, and
the young woman whose pronounced
admiration is blue can either provide
or select a turquoise of her own shade.
Every woman has her color this season,
that is sure, and you do not have to
guess what it is.
Tiny bordered handkerchief are car
ried, tiny as to border and large as to
size. These borders come in purple,
blue, red and yellow, and even in the
other and more delicate variations.
The sacque suit in white linen is the
newest novelty. It is very swell. Fancy
a suit white as snow, of heavy, white
linen, so heavy as to suggest pique,
and you can get an idea of it. These
suits are made to order, and are ele-
CANT in the extreme.
The white linen sacQue suits are cut
al the points, are single breasted, have
outside pockets, and are finished as to
lapel and cuff in the conventional way.
They are certainly immensely swell.
Men who buy a wedding rousseau
and every man does whether he will
acknowledge it or not-can include a
suit of this sort, one of dark blue denim
and one of tan duck. He will then be
prepared for any emergency of sum-
mer even to the ballroom of a summer
hotel.
If he is not intending to get married
this summer he will find his chances
with the summer girl marVelously in
creased by these very English wash
suits.

THE PROPHECY
OF THE
FAMOUS WIZARD.
OF THE

Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, the greatest
living authority on things mechanical,
is greatly interested in the coming au-
tOmObile race, which is to take place
between Chicago and New York in
August. and be lost or won by CharrOn
and Winton, the two greatest autOmO-
bile drivers in both countries.
Yes, am awaiting the result with
interest" said the Wizard, in reply to
a question that was asked him. I shall
regard its results as of great practical
value to myself and as useful to the
whole world.
The automobile continued he. 'is
coming to the fore very rapidly, and
in my estimation it will soon replace
the horse. The horse will not die out,
of course, but he will be thrown out of
many job he now performs.
For family use the automobile will
be immeasurably superior to the horse,
on account of its cheapness, primarily,
for it will cost less than One-f1fth as
much to keep an automobile as it now
costs to keep a horse. It is only a
wealthy family that can afford a team,
but people of moderate means can sup
port an automobile when once they
have purchased it.
The question of purchase is another
thing. The price will surely go down,
and within a very short time-possibly
q year-1t Will be possible to purchase
an automobile buggy for two or three
hundred dollars Now it costs much
more.
AZ a W OEthER-
FOR working purposes there is no
argument. The strength, convenience,
cheapness, health and adaptability of
the automobile place it far ahead of its
competitor, the horse. In the crowded
streets there is an advantage. The au-
tomobile, whether truck or buggy,
with horse attached. is much harder
TO manage, and takes up more space
than the truck or buggy that is horse
less.
About the coming race! Well, Mr.
Newspaper Man. I do not hesitate to
say that I think Charron will be beaten.
He will not be in it with Winton.
Charron, with his French-made ma
chine, will be left far behind He will
not finish Winton will far win ahead
of him.
1.-The trouble is not with Charron, but
with his machine. The French ma
chine is built for nice, smooth roads
around Paris. It is light jolly and
faulty, but it does well in Paris 1t is
one must ride in going from Chicago
to New York
There are bitches to be ridden
through, boulders to be ridden over
and up hill and down dale country to
be traversed. My prophecy is that
Charron will get stuck before he has
been out a day, even less. He can
not, with a French machine of the
present day, do much hill-climbing or
rough country work.
A GOOD WAGON.
''Winton, on the other hand, with an
American machine, is ready for any
thing. He can. go anywhere. His auto
mobile is such a fine one that it has
scarcely any jolt, so he will not tire;
1t has enormous carrying strength, and
viii climb VIGOROUSLY any hill he will
encounter. I believe he could travel

ploughed land easily.
Was the French machine always in
fer1Or? No, it was not. Until the pres
ent year the French automobile led the
world, and our American machines
were far behind. But that has passed.
Yankee ingenuity has been at work
upon the automobile, and it is now far
superior to the French article.
The future of the automobile? That
I am not prepared to say. Yes, I admit
that I have been at work for six
months upon new machine. The new
automobile will be less noisy, will be
less jolly and will be strong, dura BILE
and safe, a magnificent Improvement
on anything now on the market. Fur
Their than that do not care to say.
The race, from a sporting point of
view, Will be failure, for WintOn will
be the winner from the start. The
other man cannot compete with him. -
1.-The United States viii do a great
business with France in the matter of
automobiles during the next year, will
it nOt?" was asked the Wizard.
Mr. Edison smiled. 1T cannot be es-
timated," said he.
Here Mr.. Edison signifed that he had
nothing more to say, and his questiOner
withdrew. As he did so he noticed that
there lay upon the table a paper with
this paragraph uppermost:
THE report of exports to foreign
countries for this week shows that
American manufacturers of autOmo-
biles have shipped ten cases containing
Self-prOpellng vehicles, worth S15,212,
to HaVre, France. There the motors
will be mounted and shipped to other
lands.
1.-The export reports also show that
this week the locomotive builders of
the United States have shipped twelve
railroad engines, valued at $108, 900, to
So, part of the wizards prophecy
was already fact accomplished.

PROFITS FROM THE SEA,


Product of tho North Sea per square Mile.
The average value Of the product Of agrcul-
tural lands per acre or square mile Is often
computed but probably few Of us have seen
similar computations relating to the sea. Prof.
lIeuscns, writing in the German geographical
periodical. Gipbts. has figured ont an average
Of this sort for the North Sea which is woH
known to be ono Of tho worlds grent sources
OF value derived from fisheries. Ho says the
value Of the fish caught in the North Sea
yearly by the countries bordering it is about
Sal ,ououOO The YEARLY catch il never known
70 he less than S3I ,5Ou.OOO nor moro than
Si5.OOO.OOO Tho North Sea. including tho
Skagcr Rak or gulf between the southern pnr
Of Norway and Sweden. has an area Of 225,sS4
square miles. and. therefore. the avorag" vau9
Of the North Sea fisheries each year is SlS IS
for every square mile OF the ssa. England and
Scotland take the lions shar' of the wealth Of
these waters. the annual value Of tho English
fisheries being about S2l.25O.TOO: Scotland

Thus all the nations around the North Sea
share in the wealth it yields. and 1t gives some
idea OF the direct monetary value Of this great
watery waste to know THAT every srIudre mile

Of the nations living along its edge.
