THE HORSE IN BATTLE.
Even When MOrtaIly Wounded He
Will Try to Remain Standing.

Even When MOrtally Wounded He
Will Try to Remain Standing.
A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
came as his rider. As the column swings
into line and waits the horse grows
nervous over the waiting. If the wait
is spun out, he will tremble and sweat
and grow apprehensive. If he has been
six months in service, he knows every
bugle call. As the call comes to adj
vance, the rider can feel him working
at the bit with his tongue to get 1t be-
tween his teeth. As he moves out, he
will either seek to get on faster than
he should or bolt. He cannot bolt, how
ever The lines will carry him forward,
and after a minute he will grip, lay
back his ears, and one can feel his sud-
den resolve to brave the worst and have
done with it as soon as possible.
A man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil of battle 1t is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six.
when struck with a bullet, are out Of
their saddles within a minute If hit
in the breast or shoulder, up go their
hands, and they get heavy fall; if in
the leg or foot or arm, they fall forward
and roll off.
Even with foot cut off by jagged
piece of shell a horse will not drop. 1t
is only when shot through the head or
heart that he comes down. He may be
fatally wounded, but hobbies out of the
fight to right OF left and stands. with
dropping head, until the loss Of blood
| brings him down.
The horse that loses his rider and is
unwounded himself will continue to
run with his set of tours until some
movement throws him out Then he
goes galloping here and there. neighing
with fear and alarm, but he will not
leave the field. In his racing about he
may get among the dead and wounded,
but he will dodge them, if possible, and
in any case leap over them. When he
has come upon three or four other rider
less steeds, they fall in and keep togeth-
er as if for mutual protection, and the
'rally' Of the bugle may bring the
whole of them into ranks in body

Tho Courage to burn,

M. Jules Claretie is responsible fol
this story of Erckmann and Chatrian.
Those who have studied the works Of
these men in the original can appreci.
ate how conscientious they were. In
the height of their popularity they
agreed to supply the Journal des De
bats with romance. 1t is said that the
skeleton Of the story always came from
one and the giving of flesh to 1t from
the other. When the work was con
cluded, the joint authors sat In judg'
ment over it and read 1t all over.
''What do you think Of it9" asked
one of them
at is very bad" said the other.
''Then let us make good fire with
il" and so page by page the manuscript
was burned in stove. The Debats had
to wait In time. however, fine novel
was sent to the paper, and the fame Of
Erckmann and Chatrian increased.

ScuIDture.

If 1t were to be considered which
branch of the fine arts Is the most use
full to man, it would probably be found
that he could most easily dispense with
sculpture and especially that branch of
the art which portrays human and ami
NAL figures. 1t is not too much to say
that, saving perhaps score of master
pieces, every human and equestrian
statue in the world might be destroyed
ct very small cost to the aesthetic
sentiments of humanity. Sculpture
lacks color, warmth and life. 1t is a
luxury of the rich as far as the adorn-
ment of the home is concerned, and its
public examples rarely afford satisfac-
ton to any but the amateur. 1t has,
therefore, very little interest for the
vast majority of mankind. The idols
of idolatrous peoples must be excepted,
but here the interest Is not artistic, but
religious. In the extended sense Of the
term sculpture could be less easily dis
pensed with, because it would mean
the abolition of all adornment in archi-
lecture, and to highly civilized people
this would be fntolerable.-Exchan

Oldest Rose Tree In the world.


In the crypt of the cathedral of Hill
desheim grows wild rose tree, said to
be 1000 years old, whereas it is the
root only, not the stem, which is eight
centuries old, according to accurate
information derived from original doc
uments. A legend connects this rose
tree with a VOW made by the founder
Of the cathedral Ludwig the Pious,
and a document of the eleventh centu-
~ states that when Bishop Hezilo re-
built the cathedral, which had been
burned down, he inclosed the roots of
the rose tree within a vault which still
exists, raised upon this vault the crypt
and spread out the branches Of the
rose tree upon the walls. The stem
was in 1S49 261h feet high, and the
branches covered about 80 feet Of the
external crypt wall. This is said to be
the oldest rose tree in the world.

Poetry, Pointing and Furn,,nr.

Rossetti insisted on everybody paint

painter except to prop up models upon

might be very useful" ''If any man
has any poetry in him." was another
saying of Rossetti's, she should paint.

and they have scarcely begun to paint
it" a saying, by the way, which may
be found also in the third volume of
Modern Painters" Morris obeyed
the master and took to painting. Even
when Morris took to making furniture
that craft was at first regarded under
Rossetti's influence as merely means
of providing spaces for pictorial deco
ration. Morris built some enormous
chairs, ''such as Barbarossa might
have sat in," said Rossetti, who pro-
ceeded to paint their backs with SUBJ
jects from Morris poems.-London

eve see little trickle of water start

Some of these fall from heights mile
above US, tinkling and sparkling and
hiding here and there, but finally
reaching the valley. Pink crocuses
star the fields, and barberry bushes, on
fire with berries, line the wayside. The
scenery grows richer; there are more
cultivated fields; houses begin to ap-
pear on every ledge; now and then a
fine tower of some medieval castle
rose above the trees; then the silvery
gray olive, the fantastic vineyards;
the swarms of black eyed, dirty chill
dren begging; all tell of Italy. Under
