HOW MUCH YOU CAN READ.
A Busy Man Passes over in Lifetime ;
Distance of 1000 Miles.

The average busy man who declares
that he has mo time for reading" will be
incredulous if he is told that in reading
alone his eyes travel, during his lifetime,
distance Of 1000 miles; which is equiva-
lent to making an ocular trip" from
London to Naples, says Tit-Bits
A comparatively slow reader will scan
800 words minute; that is, he reads
about twice as fast as he talks, and ten
times as fast as he writes. At this rate of
progression, allowing for diversity of
type, q man may be said TO read ninety
two yards Of type in half an hour AS
even the busiest man probably averages
half an hours reading a day, it IL clear
that every year he must cover distance
of nineteen miles in reading, or the very
respectable journey of $50 miles in fifty
years.
This is an exceedingly low average and
there are probably many men who cover
at least six times this distance; q feat all
most equal to traVersing with the eyes
cent to the Ural Mountains, and again
from North Cape to Cape Matapan---a
combined journey of $500 miles, or nearly
a quarter of the way around the earth at
A statisticlan calculates that in reading
all zola's works the eyes travel distance
Of thirty miles, and that the ordinary vel
low-backed novel contains from mile to
to his estimate, the average reader COW
ers a distance during his lifetime of $500
miles, or nearly six times the distance
from Lands End to Berwick
Compared with such wonderful feats the
journeys even of the busiest pen seem
trivial and poor. Incredible as it may ap-
pear there are many people who can use
pen with average skill and fuency whose
writing during 90 lifetime does not ex-
coed one or two miles. A good average
record for one who does not earn his liv-
ing by his pen would be ten miles for a
life journey.
The professional writer naturally ac-
complishes a much bigger task than this.
If he is fairly Industrious he may produce
for the press three hundred thousand
words year, which would mean a lineal
journey for his pen Of three miles. If he
can maintain this rate of production for
forty working years, his pen will have ac-
complshed a journey of 100 miles, or a
few miles more than the distance from
Charing Cross to Birmingham, while his
remuneration may be anything from 100
guineas a mile upward.
There are, of course, many writers who,
in long and Industrious life far outstrip
this record, but probably no man who has
ever lived and written has driven his pen
as far as from Lizard Point to the Gram
min

Grain For Horses.

Professor Thomas Shaw of tho Min nesota experiment. station writes on the value of corn. oats and bran for horses, and says the proportions of corn and oats which are best for working horses will depend somewhat upon the nature of the work and somewhat on the sea son of the year The harder the horse is being worked. it would be correct to say, the larger the proportion of corn that may be given to him, and the colder the weather, the more corn, relatively, he may be fed But to keep the system in tone he should be given cats and corn, and if some bran can be added, heavy feeding can be continued with safety for longer period than in the absence of bran. When horses are being worked hard, they will do very we'll on grain ration in winter, two-thirds of which is corn, and ill summer on a grain ration one-third or one-half of which is corn. But if one-fourth or one. fifth of the grain fed is bran, there is much less danger of digestive derange- ment than when bran is not fed. So ad- vantageous is bran to the grain food that the aim should be to feed some of it during much of the year. The pro portions named above relate to shelleG corn and to weight rather than bulk Il would not be very material whether the corn, oats and bran are all mixeC before feeding or whether they are fec separately.

VIII Probably He Suspended and Not
 DfsmIs@eu From the Army.

The trial by court martial of Commis- sary General Charles F. Eagan for con duct unbecoming an officer and gen. tleman" and for conduct prejudicial to discipline" ended on Friday. The board of officers composing the court. after an hours consultation. handed in a sealed verdict, which is now in the hands of Judge Advocate General Lieber. It is being reviewed by him and will be sub sequently turned over to Secretary AL ger and by him delivered to the presi- dent It is understood that the verdict was guilty on both counts.
 The New York Heralds Washington correspondent says:
 "Commissary General Eagan will not be dismissed from the United States army. This much can be said with practical certainty. What sentence will be recommended by the secretary of war and adopted by the president will be determined when Secretary AlGer re- turns from Boston. The recommenda- tion to be made by Secretary Alger will be in line with a petition for clemency signed by number of members of the court.
 Tt can be denied with positiveness that any recommendat tion for clemency was dppeIlueu DN lne court to us ing. As a matter of fact. the court found General Eagan guilty of both charges and specifications and recom- mended his dismissal, Since the fino- ing was submitted, however, petition for ciemency has been circulated, with the result that a few signatures have been obtained. Four, 1t Is stated. de- clined to sign. These four are said to be Major General Wesley Merritt, pres ident of the court; Major General Mat thew C. Butler, Colonel Peter c. Hains and Colonel George L. Gillespie.
 'The case is still in the hands of Judge Advocate General Lieber and Major Morrison, his assistant, who will complete their review in a day or two. The matter will then be submitted to the secretary of war, probably through Major General Miles. ...... t...-.-. ..-
 "A precedent for lenient action is fur nished by the case of Captain Henry Romeyne, who was sentenced to be dis missed. but the president merely gave him reprimand and permitted him to retire as an officer of the army. It is not believed the president will go so far as to merely reprimand Eagan and re- store him to duty. It is generally thought that General Eagan will be suspended until his retirement in 1903"

Tiny Oxen.

One of the greatest curiosities among the domesticated animals in Ceylon is breed of cattle known to the zoologists as the "sacred running oxen." They are the dwarfs of tho whole OK family, the largest specimen of the species never exceeding 30 inches in height One sent to the Marquis of Canterbury in the year 1891, which is still living and is believed to be somewhere near 10 years of age, is only 22 inches high and weighs but l091s pounds. In Ceylon they are used for quick trips across the country with express matter and other light loads, and it is said that four of them can pull driver of a two wheeled cart and 200 pound load of miscel- laneous matter so to 70 miles q day. They keep up constant swinging trot or run and have been known to travel 100 miles in a day and night withou' either food or water. No one know. anything concerning the origin of tt! peculiar breed oI miniature cattle. Ths. have been known on the island of Cey- lon and in other Buddhistic countiis for more than 1000 years. -Populi er--:-
