their lives by venturing too near It.
Boats that are drawn into the current
are whirled swiftly around for . few
times and then disappear. For the
protection Of navigators the govern

buoys In Lake Popo, and boatmen who
observe them are in no danger. There

other debris which does not grow on
the coast, but are found in great
abundance among the interior lakes.

he Hss Few Needs and treat Endurance
and Spirits.
An Arab can not 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
detsriorates 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 thres
feeds OF corn to be supererogatory and
the morning hour Of walking exercise
insufficient. There is probably no be-
ing 10 obstinately conservative al an
English coachman. and, even when he
hnds an Arab grow utterly unman--
ageable, he is not to be convinced that
the simple cause Is lack OF exercise and
exuberance Of feeding. The fact is. an
Arab 10 naturally so high-spirited' and
10 dihicult to tire that even q single
feed Of corn Is excessive unless he Is
being subjected to exceptionally hard
work. He will answer every require
ment as hunter II his diet be re-
strieted to hay or even to grass. and in
the summer time ne is most satisfac-
tory II he has the run Of the paddock.
where he can chose his own food and
exercise. So far, the quality of the
normal Arab in everyday life. What
picked horse can do when put upon
his mettle almost battles belief. An
off1cer, recently returned from tho
Soudan. relates that after ride Of
800 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 All
Arab of 14.2A. which carried ten
stone six pounds and won q ten-mile

In equine annals. And Lord Roberts

received official authority to wear tho
Afghan medal with four clasps. Such
qualities are worth insisting upon at
the war Office as short cut to the So
luton Of many problems Of economy
and dispatch in the transport service.

How to Stop worrying.

THE usual way people set about

Mary Boardman Page in the Ladies'
Home Journal. THAT 10 why 1t Is SO
unsuccessful. II the doctor tells pa.

oh. doctor. don't wish that could.
But can't. II could have stopped
worrying year ago wouldn't b III
now'-All Of which 10 probably perfect
" true. AID the doctor does not al
ways know how to help him. because
both doctor and patient have an idea
that 1t IL impossible to suppress worry
through an effort of the will. This 10
. mistake. 1t is not possible to repress
worry. You have got to replace 1t
with something else. Let me illustrate
this by figure. Suppose you were to
90 into completely dark room, wish
ing 1t to be light. How would you set
about the work? Would you try to
scoop the darkness up In buckets and
carry 1t out at the door? Not at all.
You would Just open the windows and
shutters and let in the biased sun
light. You would replace the darkness
with light So II is with worry. The
only possible way to get nd Of 1t 10 to
replace the worry attitude OF the mind
with the non-worry attitude. And
this can always be done when the per-
son Is sincere and patient in his de-
sire to bring 1t about. All he has to do
is to be passive and let nature have her
own perfect way with him."

LANDPREPARES FOR War

London, Jul, In the House

Campbell Mannermann, Liberal
leader, asked the Government
leader, A. j. Balfour, il he had
any apparently official communi-
cation published in the Times to-
day, giving the names of a num-
Der of officers said to have been
ordered to proceed to South Africa
for the purpose of organizing the
residents, as we'll as the police and
local forces at various points on
the frontier.
Mr.. Balfour replied that he
was not aware that it was an Off
cial communication. He added
that no contingency had yet arisen
which, in the opinion of the Gov
eminent, nccessitates a material
increase in the forces now in
South Africa. He added:
"We, however, think It necessa-
ry, under the existing circum.
stances, to take such steps ss may
bring the present force up to the
proper standard of efficiency aud
mobility. The War Office would

SATISFACTION IN WASHINGTON AT kE-
PORTED EUROPEAN INTENTIONS
Washington, Dec 9--The various publications
coming from European sources touching the de-
cislon of the Powers to meet the request OF the
United States for formal written undertaking
to maintain the open door in China are giving
satisfaction to the officials here as indicating
the success OF this important diplomatic negotia-
ton.
However, II may be stated, the responses OF
the European governments have not yet reached
the State Department. 1t Is realized thoroughly
that in a matter OF this Importance the negotia-
lions must be conducted with the greatest cir
cumspection and delberatlon. Hence 1t IS no
matter for surprise that the responses nave not
yet been received. II Is hoped that the hnai
success OF the negotiations can be communicated
to Congress in the shape Of a special message
from the President. accompanied by an eH1
planatory statement from Secretary Hay soon
after the holidays.
