HORSES FOR ARMY SERVICE.

They Must Be Strong, for They Have
Heavy Loads to Carry.
The study of the question of remounts
for English cavalry on indian and
colonial service has brought out the un.
expected result that of all the breeds
Of horses supplied to the British cavalry
in India the Australian chargers are
the least fitted for the conditions of
the life. They are difficult to accli-
matize and, though fairly satisfactory
In cantonment and on peace duties.
they break down rapidly under hard
ships Of campaign and can scarcely
stand even months outing during
the heavy maneuvers' in cold weather.
The experimental mounting the cavalry
on Arabs was tried some time ago, but
their comparatively small size and
them unsuitable for carrying the bur-
den Of eighteen stone which the British
trooper with his accouterments is sup
posed to average. This argument has
however, been disproved by the ex-
perience of the Onidurman campaign,
through which the Twenty-first lancers
were carried by Syrian Arabs of the
same class as those sold in the Indian
markets
Even the ordinary country-bred horse
OF India would be likely to be a more
serviceabie animal In actual war than
the large-framed and more imposing
looking "waler." OF foreign horses
used as remounts for British cavalry
abroad those supplied by South Amer
lea to the troops In South Africa
seem to be the most satisfactory.

A Cat ma = Fire-AI.rm.

Had it not been for the mewing of a
pet cat for two or more hours early the
other morning the Kisthardt home
would probably have been burned to
the ground while members of the fam
lily were asleep, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. Several pieces of hot
coal fell from the kitchen stove on the
floor and ignited the carpet. The
flames spread slowly. but harassed the
cat to the extent that it made itself
heard. Members of the family were
awakened, and coming downstairs they
found the kitchen in smoke. Had the
fire spread to the pantry, where some
dynamite was stored, the house must
have been blown up,

vendettas OF the Present.

1t is through lack of information tha
the vendetta is referred to to-day as al
institution Of the past. Vendettas-

Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, but liz
Kentucky and other of the southern
and western states, and also at times
in;Engiand. Ireland and France, ItaI,

1t has happened recently that an
Albanian whose relative had been
killed by Turkish vizier shot thu
vizier's son-which Is at least a partial
exemplification of the vendetta. In
Arabia the system is to-day in full
operation, fact which is SO well un.
derstood that offenses sufficient to start
a train of killings are rarely committed
and a considerable degree of order Is
thereby preserved.
AS it is generally understood the ven.
delta originated in the following prac-
tice: An assassin was never allowed
to escape. The responsibility of punish
ment was assumed by the nearest blood
relations of his victim. There must be
