Harold Stephens, who wrote Of this Ze-

use in harness in the Transvaai, and SAYS
they will be substituted largely for mules.
He says: 1.-THE zebraS, when tnspanned,
stand still and wait for the word to 90.
They pull up when required and are per-
fectly amenable TO the bride, and are soft

kick, and the only thing in the shape Of
vice which they have is an inclination TO
bite, but as soon as they understand that
there is no intention to hurt them, they

THE ZEBROID.
A New Twentieth Century Mule of

Whether his prophecy that the new beast
will replace the mule is correct or not If
is certain that he has managed to raise n
singularly beautiful and useful animal. It
is the zebroid, a hybrid of the wild zehr,

The baron used a Burchelrs zebra in his
breeding, because it is better adapted in
its build and habits for the use of man
and because it is fairly common SIN

dying out. The animal used in all tha
successful experiments was a particularly

A Remarkable Horse Jump.
From the Badminton Magazine


Without very good evidence, 1 confess

cident which happened the other dav a.
Norwich; but this evidence has been over
Whetmingly furnished. and the thing mn
questionaby happened. The Norwich rid
ing school is entered by door, certainly
not less than six feet three inches in night
and above this there is an aperture of
barely three feet. The charger of an Of
fcer in the Seventh Hussars was going
round the school the other day, with no
one on his back, when suddenly, instead
of turning the corner he went straight for
the door tucked his head between his
legs in what is described to me
and must certainly have been. an
extraordinary manner, and Jumped
out into the yard. The landing is
on some fiat stones; he slipped and came
down on his side. slightly bruising him
self, but doing no harm, and is now as well
again as ever When one comes to think
what six feet three inches means, and
the manner in which the horse has to
screw himself up in order to get through
the aperture the performance is certainly
nothing short Of marvellous. Capt Dibble
the riding master, who was in the school
at the time made trooper who was five
feet nine inches in hight, stand with his
back to the door. and the woodwork was
certainly a good six inches above his
head. If this horse jumps as well with
a man on his back as without it ought to
take something out of the common to stop
him.

was brought Into Use and a Piece
of Floating Bone Discovered in
the Knee Cap, Which Caused In
tense Suffering When 1t Became
Lodged in the Joints-The Bone
was Removed by the Quaker Doc
tor, Who Alone Arrived at "A Cor
rect Diagnosis OF the Case
Of the many wonderful surgical opera
tons and cures that have been performed
by the Quaker Doctor, none were more
successful and interesting than the one
recently performed on Mr.. Samuel Binsal
In this operation, as in many others in
which the Quaker Doctor, has been so
marvelously successful his electric and
A-ray machine played important parts.
Mr.. Binsal had been suffering for the
past two years from a most peculiar com
PLANT and one that bafied the most
prominent physicians in all parts of the
country-a number of whom pronounced
the case one of rheumatism, while others
candidly admitted their inability to arrive
at correct diagnosis of the disease Ac-
cording to the history of the case given
by Mr.. Binsal, the trouble first was no.
ticeable by pains under the knee cap
and which grew more severe each time
until finally when attacked by one of the
paroxysms Mr.. Bnsal would go into con-
vulsions, and on several occasions fell
tnsensible in the street He visited many
OF the most reputable physicians in New
York, Boston and other large cities, and
was treated for the trouble for several
weeks at Bellevue Hospital, where his
case was pronounced one of acute rheum-
atisnf. Hearing of the wonderful skill
shown by the Quaker Doctor Mr.. Binsal
decided to visit him and secure his advice.
Immediately upon examination of the
knee, the Quaker Doctor informed Mr..
Binsal that he was suffering not from
rheumatism, but from a floating bone
that could be distinctly felt, but which
upon pressure of the finger would glide
away, and it was this floating bone that
caused such intense pain when it became
lodged between the joints of the knee. To
prove his diagnosis, the Quaker Doctor in
the presence of several patients who were
in his office at the time, applied his won
derful X-ray, and the piece of bone was
as plainly seen as it foated around
among the sinews and muscles of the knee
as was the skin to the naked eve Mr.
Binsal was then prepared for the opera
ton necessary to extract the bone, which
was skilfully accomplished by the Quaker
Doctor, and to the entire satisfaction and
joy of Mr.. Binsal. This operation was per-
formed over two weeks ago, and since the
removal of the bone. Mr. Binsal has suf-
fered not the slightest inconvenience from
this source. The piece of bone is now
numbered among the many curiosities of
the Quaker Doctor at his office 215 Lib
erty street, west.
