feelings which are non-eXistent in the
nature Of a horse. Quite half the
horses in England sent to the Crimea
died from hard work and starvation.
Indeed only about 500 were killed in
action. So reduced and starved have
the poor beasts become on occasions
of this kind that they have been known
to eat one another's tails and to gnaw
the wheels of the gun carriages. Ma
poleon took with him across the Me
men 10000 cavalry horses, and on his
return in six months he could only mus
ter 10000. More than half the horses
which were engaged in our Egyptian
war of 1882 were disabled; 800 of these
were killed, and only fifty-three slain
in action. In the Afghan war of 1888
1t is said that 5000 camels and half
the horses engaged were lost in three
months. 1t will thus be seen that ac-
tual fighting does not claim SO many
horses as starvation and overwork. De-
fective shoeing, sore backs, want of
food and rest, and other similar causes
go far toward rendering horses useless
for practical warfare. One more and
important cause needs careful atten-
ton, and it is the danger of injury

Large sheets and even blankets and

America's Two National Hymns Fill
Their Purpose to the Full.
Our two national hymns are regu-
larly attacked for their lack Of good
grammar and real poetry, but, though
they may have technical defects, they
unquestionably possess that indefina-
bic something which arouses the tn-
ward thrill. 'The Star-Spangled Ban
ner, written on old envelopes by Fran
els Scott Key, after the anxious night
of the bombardment of Fort McHenry,
was first sung in the theater by a va
riety actor. 1t was simply introduced
as verses by gentleman who had
been detained on board the English
fleet" There was no claque to ex-
ploit 1t. and, in fact, Mr.. Key did not
want to be known as its author, but,
lifting the words to an old tune, the
actor, with a voice which was not at
all extraordinary, so impressed the
audience that the song had to be sung
following nights.

They were Sunday school children. 1t
