To preserve the eyesight few sug.

never while lying down in constrain-
ed position. Prop yourself up with
plenty of pillows If you wish to read

closely printed, and never when the

The Demand for Army Horses.


For the first time since men began
stringing trolley wires through the
streets horses-sound ones, of course
are in demand. The United States
government needs war horses, forty
thousand of them or more, and, need
ing them badly and speedily, is willing
to pay good prices for them. In an
article in Leslie's Weekly Mr.. ellison
Willets describes the kind of horses
that will be accepted. No white horse
need apply, for it was white horse
which Death rode In the Apocalypse,
and Death would speedily overtake the
soldier foolish enough to bestride so
conspicuous a beast within reach Of
the enemys sharpshooters. Only dark
colored horses will be accepted in the
army-dark sorrels, bays, browns,
blacks, and dark roans. They should
be intelligent and gentle in DISPOSE
ton, not given to kicking their friends.
The age should be from s to years,
and the weight from thousand to fiji
teen hundred pounds. After the horse

course of instruction. just as any other
raw recruit. He must learn to obey
commands, even when he is ordered
TO lie down and convert himself into a
breastwork for his rider. That is the
most difficult accomplishment to teach.
But those who have observed the per-
feet training of the horses in the fire.
engine stations can readily understand
how thorough the drilling Of army
horses can be made.
The intelligence OF the trained and
experienced war horse Is remarkable,
and many wonderful stories are re-
lated to illustrate 1t. 1t was recog-
nized milleniums ago. as is shown in
the Book of Job: "Canst thou make
him afraid as grasshopper? the glory
of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth
in the valley and Iejoiceth in his
strength; he goeth ON to meet the
armed men. He mo:keth at fear and
Is not affrighted; ntither turneth he
back from the sword. He swallow
eth the ground with ferceness and
the sound Of the trumpet He saieth
among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he
smelleth the battle afar off, the thun-
der of the captains and the shouting"
There are numherless instances
which show the fierte delight of the
trained cavalry horse in battle.
1t will be far morn difficult now for
the government to obtain horses than
1t would have been five or ten years
ago. The electric railways not only
did away with the demand for car
horses, but, in consequence, of their oc-
cupation Of the streets, there is far less
demand for driving and riding horses,
and the bicycle also has contributed
to the destruction Of the horse mar
ket. The demand having decreased,
of course the supply decreased with 1t.

A MANS STATE.
California May Yet He Blessed nj
One Of Enrth's Male
Lands.

California is emphatically one OF
"earth's male lands to accept Brown
ing's classification The first Saxon
settlers were men. and in their rude civ.
ilization women had no part. Foryears
women in California were objects aoi
curiosity or of chivalry, disturbing
rather than eemsnting influences in
society. Even yet California is essen
tally nuns state. 1t is common to
say that public opinion does not ex-
list there; but such statement is not
wholly correct. It does exist, but il is
an out-of-doer opinions mans view
of men. There is. for example. q
strong opinion about hypocrisy in Cal.
ifornia, as more than one clerical rene
gade has found to his discontinue.
The pretense to virtuesis the one vice
that is not forgiven. If man be not a
liar, few questions are asked, least OF
all the delicate one as to the name he
vert by in the states" What we com,
monty call public opinion-the cut-and-
dried decision on social and civic ques-
tions-is made up in the house. 1t IS
essentially feminine in its origin, the
opinion of householders as to how men
should behave. In California there is
little which corresponds to the sScial
atmosphere peryading the snug, white
painted, green-blinded New England
villages, and this little exists chiefly in
communities of people transported
! thither in block-traditions, conyen-
tionalities, prejadices and all. There
is, in general. no merit attached to CON
formity, and one may take wide range
of rope without necessarily arousing
distrust. Speaking broadly, in Cali
fornia the virtues Of life spring from
within, and are not prescribed from
without. The young man who is de-
cent only because he thinks that some
one is looking would do well to sta,
away. The stern law Of individual re-
sponsibility turns the fool over to the
| fool-killer without preliminary trial
No finer type of man can be found in
| the world than the sober Californian
and yet no coast is strewn with wrecks
more pitiful.-Dayid Starr Jordan, in
