The Arab Horse.

An Arab cannot dispense with food
altogether, like the legendary camel of
travellers tales, but his needs are few,
and he will maintain his health and
spirits under conditions which other
horses would never be able to endure.
Indeed, not only can he put up with
hardships at pinch, but he actually
deteriorates under the generous regi-
men which is considered necessary for
other horses. This has been proved
over and over again by purchasers who
have refused to believe the usual three
feeds of corn to be supererogatory and
the morning hour of walking exercise
insufficient. There is probably no be-
ing so obstinately conservative as an
English cUachman, and, even when he
finds an Arab grow utterly unmanagea-
BILE, he is not to be convinced that the
simple cause. is lack of exercise and ex-
uberance of feeding. The fact is, an
Arab is naturally so high spirited and
so difficult to tire that even a single
feed of corn is excessive unless he is
being subjected to exceptionally hard
work. He will answer every require
ment as hunter if his diet be restrict
Gu W udy Ut even " grass, anu Ill %ue
Summer time he is most satisfactory
if he has the run of paddock, where
he can choose his own food and exer
else. So far, the quality of the nor
NAL Arab In everyday life.
What picked horse can do when put
upon his mettle almost battles belief
An officer, recently returned from the
Soudan, relates that, after ride of $50
miles, his horse showed no signs of
work, though he had cast all his shoes
before accomplishing a quarter of the
journey, though many of the camels
had died, and the others had suffered
severely. Again, 1t was an Arab of
14.2A, which carried ten stone six
pounds and won a ten-mile race at Fe-
rozepore in twenty-five minutes, feat
of endurance probably unequaled in
equine annals. And Lord Roberts can
bear testimony to the powers of the
Arab which carried him through all his
campaigns during TWENTY-FIVE wears

Nerves and Pianos.

Piano playing, particularly by young
women of no special musical taste, sen
sitive, and not strong, is attacked by
the Medical News and the British Med
zeal Journal as the cause of many ner-
vOus troubles. Out of 1000 girls de-
voted to piano practice observed by DR..
Waetzhold, 600 had grave signs of
chlorosis. Out of 1000 other girls in a
similar environment only 200 develop
ed such symptoms. "There is no
doubt" says the Medical News, that
the foundation of many persistent
neurasShenia in after life can be trac.
ed to the nerve storms incident to must
cal training at a time when nature de-
manded rest, not excitement" Very
many more girls have been broken
down by undue attention to music than
by college study, and both for very
young and very sensitive girls there is
overwhelming medical evidence that
the pernicious habit of requiring musi-
cal study of almost every girl does in
finite harm.

MISSIONER.
Way in Which the Great Painter Did
His Work.


The Contemporary Review has some
"reminiscences of the great French ar
fist MISSIONER given by Verestchagin.
Everybody, says M Verestchagin, is
aware of the conscientious way in
which Meissonier executed his work;
but few know the labor and expense
he bestowed on the preparation for it..
| remembered, for instance his paint
y ing a horseman, in dress of the last
century, passing along deserted road
in strong wind. The cloak was flow
ing and the head of the rider, with
his cap over his ears, was bowling be-
IRE the storm, which was bringing on
heavy clouds and flashing the grass and
trees. Both the horse and the rider
were first beautifully modelled in wax.
The former model had a bride and
saddle elegantly worked out in every
detail from the real materials. The
riders cloak, hat, and spurred boots
were also miniature masterpieces, exc
cuted after drawings of the period. In
order to get the folds of the twisting
cloak it was dipped into thin glue, so
that it stiffened in it's proper pose. In
short, everything was ingeniously fit
ted up so as to insure the greatest pos
sible perfection Of the picture, and
showed, at any rate, very uncommon
demands upon the artists skill.
But how did you paint the snowy
road in your picture Of Napoleon in
1914 ?" l asked him. In reply, he
picked out from under the table low
platform, about a metre and half
square, and said: "On this prepared
all that was required-snow, mud, and
ruts. I kneaded the clay, and pushed
across it this piece of cannon several
times, up and down. With shod hoof
| then pressed the marks Of the horses
feet; streWed flour over it, pushed
the cannon across again, and contin.
ued to do SO until | obtained the SEM
blance of real road Then | sailed
it, and the road was ready" What
did you salt it for?" ''To get the bril-
liancy Of the snow. Why do you
smile? How else could you do it?''
1T was very ingenious, | answered.
"Je YOURS falls mes compliments. But,
if had been you, I should have gone
to Russia, where nearly every ,roadefs
dug up in the way you represented,
and should have painted study from
nature" Eyes! But nous autres

DESCENDANT OF FLAGMAKER.
Great-Granddau of Betsy Hess,
Who Made tho First American
Flag, Living at WREhinEtOA.

A great-granddaughter of Betsy
Ross, who made the first American flag,
is living in Washington. She is Mrs.
Southwick Guthrie. Mr.. Guthrie Is a
cousin of Osslan Guthrie, the geplogist,
of Chicago. Mrs. Guthrie remembers
her great-grandmother, who died when
she was child of five. Mrs. Ross was
90 at the time of her death, but when
she made her first flag she was but 30
and quite girllsh in appearance. The
fault of nearly all the pictures made of
Betsy Ross is that they represent her as
being too old.
Mrs. Guthrie has a copy of the paint
Ing made by Weisgerber for the world s
fair. The old house In which Washing
ton sought her at the recommendation
of Col. Ross, uncle of her husband, stll
stands in Philadelphia. It is 229 Arch
street. and has been sought by the
Daughters of the Revolution as q pur-
chase, but the owners have put the
price up to fabulous figures, knowing
the society desired to buy 1t. At the
time of the making of the flag Betsy
Ross was q widow. Her first husband
had Just died. She was married to him
at the age of 1s. She had no children
by Mr.. Ross and her descendants were
from a second marriage,

A NEW DIANA.
Gives Up Society for Rough
Mountain Life.

Mics Alice Hoffman has temporarily
given up the pleasures of society and iB
emulating the example of Diana In the
Yosemite valley. Miss Hoffman has
abandoned conventional attire for the
wild, picturesque dress of a mountain
girl. She lives at a camp with her
brother, handles the rod and gun,
climbs the steepest mountain trails and
rides astride her steed like a cowboy.
Miss Hoffman has long been favor
lite of San Francisco society. She seems
to be possessed of the same fearless dis
position as her sister, Miss May, who
some time ago startled her friends by
accepting q situation at the Bellevue
hospital for the express purpose of
learning the art of the trained nurse.
Miss Hoffman started out on a trip
to Mount Dana with the aVowed inten-
tiOn of climbing to its lofty summit,
$4,000 feet above sea level. The noun
tain is about 90 miles from the Yosemite
valley, and In order to reach 1t the
party will have TO travel over almost In
accessible trails and over dangerous
ledges that line the sides OF rugged
heights.
