They Maintain Their Health Under Ad-
verse Conditions.
So much has been written about the
it is natural to think of the Arab steei
as peculiarly delicate and sensitive to
adverse influences, says the Youths
Companion. This is not the case. The
wants of an Arab horse are few, and
he will maintain his health and spirits
under conditions which other horses
could never endure. Indeed. not only
can he put up with hardships at a
pinch, but he actually deteriorates If
too carefully tended. This has been
proved again and again by purchasers
who have refused to believe the usual
three feeds of grain a day to be too
much, or the morning hour of walking
exercise too little. The fact is that an
Arab is naturally so h~igh-spirited. and
so difficulty to tire, that eve a single
feed of corn is excessive unless he is
being subjected TO exceptionally hard
work. He will answer every require
ment as a hunter, If his food is re
stricted to hay, or eve to grass. In
the summer he thrives best when he
has the run of a paddock. and can
regulate his own food and exercise.
These remarks apply to the ordinary
Arab horse in everyday life. What a
picked animal can do when put upon
his mottle is almost beyond belief. An
officer recently returned from the
Soudan says hat after a ride of eight

The rather low standard OF her cul-

traordinary promptitude anything pre-

she closes her books: 'adieu panicrs,

useful help to feminine intellectual
development, reading. has not yet be-
come n habit with her. There are
countries where books are more used
by women than by men; rich. they
buy them; poor, they have the lending
library; in their yearly expenditure,
no matter how small it be, literature
has its place. There is nothing like
this in Italy. With the exception of
a small minority, the women do not

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 1.-The bright
hopes of a speedy adjustment of the
miners strike with people in every
walk of life which were buoyed up
through the promise of New York OPP
orators last week are gradually melt
ing away. Local operators have reg
istered a kick at a meeting held
yesterday in Wilkesbarre, and the min
ers n business men are again set
Ting back into their old mood of play
ing a game of wait. While everybody
wishes to see the strike ended, the
miners say they will starve rather
than accept a settlement on the one
sided basis offered by the operators.
At headquarters this morning a
prominent member of the union said:
we are now better organized than
ever before in the history of a-miners'
strike, and it would be suicidal for
us to accept this offer of 10 per cent
advance while all the other grievances
which we wish adjusted are left eX-
actly where they were before the
strike. Operators should not think
for a that they can pull the
wool over our eyes by thinking we
will run pell-mell to work at an offer
of 10 per cent increase. There are
more things to be considered, and we
intend to have them granted too"
The Demands.
Twill you state what the demands
pondent.
what we want is:
81. A better enforcement of the ex-
listing mine laws.
"2. To obtain that which is fully
our own. e., full value Of labor act
ually performed and hitherto taken
from us.
80. To obtain the right to purchase
our implements of labor at a fair mar
ket value and escape from the COM
pulsory rule which forces us to pay
operators more than twice what the
same materials can be purchased for
at retail in the open markets.
a. To allow a readjustment Of the
wage scale that will conform to the
normal conditions of the anthracite
trade and establish as nearly as prac-
ticable a scale for express class of
work in and around mines.
You will see," he continued, that
the 10 per cent offer entirely ignores
these points, which are very import
ant to miners"

the unexpected happens all the troops
will have been removed from here by

Markle and Pardee, two of the larg-
est individual operators, however, re-
fused to accede to the j. p. Morgan
scheme of Offering 10 per cent raise.
These two men offer only the old
wages. The result will be that if the
10 per cent settlement goes through

two operators stand in the way of a
general settlement they will be tar,

Chinese were fairly frantic and NOV

Firing that had seemed furious be-
fore was tame compared with the hail
of shot and shell that pourned in up
on us that night. 1t came from all
quarters and seemed to be from ev-
cry imaginable kind of firearm. We
had received reports of the approach
of the relief column, and knew that
it must be near, from the frantic at.
tempts of the Chinese to Stay us. We
expected that any moment might be
our last, as many breaches were made
by shells and a determined assault at

way for the hordes outside"
