AT LONG RANGE

More Horses Than Men Arc Killed. In
In the Franco-German war, 1870, al
Gravelotte, the German cavalry lost zoe
horses and 100 men. while their artil-
lery lost 1900 horses and $50 men. At
Vrinville. a terribly fierce battle, the
German cavalry lost. 1000 horses and
1,400 men, while their artillery lost
1000 horses and $50 men; but at the
battle of Woerth the German cavalry
lost only so horses to 60 men. This
shows that when the fighting is close
and hot the men fall in greater num-
bers than the horses. From the rela.
tive loss of men and horses you can
tell whether it was defeat or vic.
tory; for. in victory the difference
between men lost and horses lost
would not be very great. while in de.
feat and retirement the Ass Gf horses
would be immense. In well-con-
tested hand-to-hand fight Of cavalry
the loss OF horses is about equal to
the loss of men. When the British
troops were engaged In the Peninsulal
war they lost in each of the fifteen
battles an average Of eighteen horses
to nineteen men. showing fierce and
close fighting. On the other hand, the
loss Of horses is. very great where the
cavalry have to 60 long distance ~vel
open ground before delivering the
charge. as they are exposed to the enc
my's fire. At Fontenoy the French
killed 81 British cavalrymeA and $50
Of their horses.

The Japanese Seem Satisfied witt
| Small Quantities Of Tobacco.
"YOu may have noticed that the Jap
anese who visit America are very mod
crate smokers" said a prominent Jap
anese now travelling in the United
States to Washington Star reporter,
recently. ''Those of my countrymen
who do indulge in the weed mostly
smoke cigarettes. or, preferably, the
smallest pipes filed NTH the mildest
tobacco obtainable. OF course, there
are JAPANESE who, like some Ameri-
| cans, have such q craving for tobacco
that nothing less than the strongest
cigar or the largest pipe will satisfy
them. But such smokers are excep-
tlonally few among the Japanese. AS
rule. my coUntlymen. while at home
ana abroad. are satisfied with short
| smokes, such rs cigarette or a tiny
pipe affords.
The Japanese are moderate snok-
ers. rot so much because they are
small people, but for the reason that,
up to recent years but very little tobac.
co came into Japan and the tariff on it
was very high. Being poor but fru-
gal race, the masses purchased only
limited quantities of the weed, which,
as matter of economy. they have for
generations been taught to smoke tn
only the 1iniest of pipes. These pipes,
the most popular Of which hold about
as ml:ch tobacco as would fill All or
binary thlmble, are a survival of the
days when money was scarce, tobacco
dear and the tariff high. In another
generation or two, when Japan shall
have taken her place among the
wealthy nations of the world, my coun-
trynen will, no doubt. smoke large
quantities of tobacco. and then the
small pipes will be abandoned for big
ones, such as Enylishmen and Ameri-
cans now smoke. "-WashinSton Star.

The following extracts from letter
written to Mr.. Benz. Davies, Canadian
government agent at st. Paul, Mimi,
give an excellent idea Of what is said
Of Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
xaars. ~
When we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near
Dalesboro, Assa., for short time We
,had a fit Of the blues, but now all
hands are settled to business, hale.
hearty and contented, enjoying the
finest winter we have ever seen. We
have got very comfortably situated,
with considerable preparations for a
crop, and all hopeful. I think this is
q very fine country, and IL tho past sea-
cons crop is not an exception, which
they claim not, believe this is going
to be the wheat field of the West. It
Is filling up fast. In this township last
spring there were 25 cuarter-sections
Of land vacant and today there is not
one. can stand at my house and
count ten houses where there was not
one last spring, with six more to 90 up
this spring. This is only sample OF
what is going on all round. We intend
to build church next summer, right
close to my place, so we will be strictly
in line. 1t would have amused you to
have been here last spring. There
were crowds Of land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie Is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
disconnected. There was one in the
crowd who jumped ON me for putting
a letter in the paper, only for which
he never would have come here, and
he was very hostile, but eventually he
got a place and today claims he would
not take thousand dollars and move
out. so am glad he is satisfied.
We'll, my dear sir, as Arthur Fin
ney is about to move out in March,
with his family, and also one of ny
sons, anything you can do for them to
assist them along and to mako things
smooth as possible, will be greatly
appreciated by me. will close for
this time, and will write from time to
time to let you know we are living.
Drop us few lines to let us know
how things are moving in st. Paul.
