HORSES OF BRITISH DIE FAST.
Six Weeks Their Average Life in
South Africa.

CAPTAIN Heygate, of the British Army. Is
at Kansas City, No., buying $4,000 cavalry
horses and mules for the British army IN
South Africa.
He went there more than year ago to buy
horses and mules, but was ordered home q
short time ago. The unexpected renewal OF
hostiliies on big scale has made the purchase
of more horses aud mules necessary. As fast
as the animals are inspected and bought they
are sent to New Orleans and shipped to Cape
Town, Durham or New London on British
transports. Lieut. David Moberly, who is as.
sisting Captain Heygate, says:
"By the time the horses and mules are
landed in South Africa they cost the British
Government $500 head. That is large
price for an animal which will be fit for SER
vice only six weeks. Most of the animals die
because Of the change in climate. They must
cross the Equator in going to South Africa,
and the heat of the tropics kills them rapidly.
The average death rate on shipboard is 81 to
the 1000.
"Forty DAYS after horse is purchased in
Kansas City 1t is landed in South Africa. SO
great is the demand for horses at the front
that it is impossibleto to give them the needed
rest after landing before putting them into SER
vice. Consequently they go to the front IN a
weakened condition, and not getting SUI
ficient amount of food they soon die.
.Since the beginning of the war England
has purchased over 100. 600 horses and mules
in the United States. Baden-Powell now has
25, 900 mounted police, and it is proposed to
mount SO, 900 of the Imperial infantry

Blessed hour of our dinners THE land of his BIRTH
The face of his first love: the bills that he owes
The twadde of friends and the venom of foes;
The sermon he heard when to church he last went
The money he borrow'd, the money he SPENT
All of these things man, believe, may forget
And not be the worse for forgetting; but yet
Never never oh never earth IS luckiest sinner
Hath unpunish'd forgotten the hour of his dinner
Indigestion, that conscience of every bad stomach,
Shall relentlessly gnaw and pursue him with some
ache
or some pan and trouble, remorseess his best ease'
As the Furies once troubled the sleep of orestes
We may live without poetry. music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without
heart;
We NAV live without friends we may live without
books;
Rut civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without books,-what is knowledge
but grieving?
He may live without hope.-what is hope but de-
ceiving?
He may live without love,-what is passion but
pining?

Remarkable Power.

A dear old lady was taken one day

church. She had heard much about
the Gne voice OF lie soprano and was
prepared for a treat.
She sat in rapt enjoyment until the
service was over, and then turned a
radiant face toward her escort, who
was young grandson.
Dear boy" she said, you've given
me great treat. Her voice is per-
fectly beautiful. 1t made cold chills
run all up and down my spine"
IT'S too bad, grandmamma," said
the boy, 'but she didn't sing to-day,
though she was there. The gentleman
next me says she's been suffering from
a bad cold, and one of the chorus had
to sing the solos for her,"
"What, dear?" said the old lady,
looking momentarily distressed. Then
her face cleared, and she patted his
arm reassuringly.

Dislike the Illustration.

Superintendent Bright takes e1cep-
ton to a brightly colored chart in use
In country schools which represents the
farmer as painfully moving grass
with a scythe at SIS month, while
opposite an elegantly dressed clerk
costly sells a bolt of gingham to a
beautiful young lady at $40 month
and another city clerk below keeps
books ON q little mahogany desk at
5000 month.
Mr.. Bright objects that the chart
conveys a false idea, for the farmer,
who really does his moving by ma
chinery, gets board and lodging with
his $40, while the dapper clerk has to
pay $3.50 a month out of his $40 for
board, lodging and car fare. Also the
business houses which are looking
for bright young men to keep books at
5000 a month, carefully keep their
wants out of the small lad" columns
of the newspapers.
The only defense of the chart is that
1t is calculated to make pupils think"
This is true. 1t will make them think
that the authorities which display the
chart have something the matter with
their intellectuals.
1t is rather odd that so much energy
is devoted to making pupils think
when very likely small part of the
same energy directed to the desirable
end of making th= educators think
would have a much better result

INSIDE JAPAN,
Fist Fights Preface Death Struggles - No
Heating.


Wife-Beating.
In spite of qualities of easily aroused
antagonism, of price and Spartan
ideals, the japanese are an essentially
gentle race--more so than the Anglo
SaXons. Broils in which one man hits
another are of rare occuri ence; blows
are generally the preface of death
struggle. The women may often suf-
fer from the prevailing Ideals of mo-
rality, which are yet much lower than
ours but there are few wife-beaters,
and the home atmosphere is almost al
ways outwardly peaceful. 1t follows
that little true poltieness on the part
of the foreigner goes long way. and
almost invariably meets with warm
recognition; you rarely appeal to the
Japanese in vain. They are as quick
to respond to an act of real kindness
as they are to resent an act which has
a tinge of arrogance. Our Government
allowed several transports with re-
turning volunteers to stop at Yoko-
hama, and so hundreds of American
soldiers visited that city and Toxic.
One of them hired a bicycle and was
taking a ride about the streets. of 1o.
kohama when he ran down an elderly
Japanese man. The soldiers rang his
bell several times. but the Japanese
apparently paid no attention to it, and
the American found himself promptly
arrested and taken to court, where he
was fined ten ''yen" ($5). He protested
that he had done everything possible
to avert the accident, and asked why
the man made not attempt to get out
of the way. The policeman then told
him that the man was blind. The sol.
dier looked dazed for minute, then
felt in his pocket and brought out a
ten-dollar bill. Here" he said, Its
the last I've got, but he can have it,"
and he turned it over to the blind man.
The japanese were deeply touched,
and that same day delegation of po.
licemen hunted up the soldier and gave
him back his fine.-Anna n. Benja
