Indian Postal Humors.

Comment, says the London Tele-
graph is made by the Civil and Mill
tary Gazette of Lahore on the public
inconvenience of the custom house
regulation by which letters sent to
India containing dutiable articles un-
declared must be opened by the ad-
dressee, possibly in some remote up
country station, in presence of the
local postmaster, and then reported to
Bombay or Karachi for assessment of
duty before final delivery. The public,
says our contemporary, are irritated
at the delay, and at times take vigor-
GUS action by way of protest-like the
peppery up-country colonel who, re-
ceiving a. back set of false teeth sent
home for repair, for lack of which he
had been living retired life, clapped
them into his mouth on being told
they must go back to karachi for
assessment of duty, and defed all the
departments to take them away while
he drew breath. Another case is that

feather by post and duly opened it in

DARING SAILOR Is CROSSING
81 THE SEA IN AN OPEN DORY


!; doubt OF the success of my venture
and have no fear of an accident. The
great trouble with those in the past
who have failed in their endeavors to
cross the Atlantic in an open boat is
that their craft was not Of the right
selection. The boat in which i intend
making the trip will be safer than a
sloop or tugboat."
The management of the boat during
sleeping time, he said, was an easy
matter. From two to three hours
sleep in twenty-four will be sufficient
on the VOYAGE. he said. During that
tlme. l shall drop out a sea anchor,
which will assist in keeping the boat

This is most important feature of a

IL. Cheinstein, who was a playmate
OF Eisenbraum's in Kruhnach, Ger

up the capital for the undertaking. Sc
far he has spent about $500, and the
expenses will be considerably larger
before the completion of the trip. He
is just as enthusiastic and as confident
of the success of the venture as Capt

wager that his friend will make the
trip safely.

The Champion Economist,

Albert J. Barr, proprietor of the

group of friends the queer economical
traits some men develop. II heard of a
miserly chap in Western Pennsylva-

to save on his undertaker's bill, so he
made his own coffin and had it ready
when he needed it,
That's nothing remarked one of
the party. II frequently have heard
of people making their own cof1ns."

Leave it to Ludwig Eisenbraum to

Salvador, Hanover, Hamburg and
others are more fortunate, as they
are in the stud:
But the number of stations is
being steadily restricted, with the re-
suit of a, very large increase in the
percentage of geldings on the track.
The object is to do away with the
large number of cheap and useless
stations. The result will be the mar.
rowing of sires to the most select
strains and consequent Improvement
in the breed"
"Why does so large proportion OF
thoroughbreds break DOWN."
THAT is due to the early age at
which they are raced. Financial re-
wards seem to be for the owners OF
two-year-olds, and, of course, they do
not miss their opportunities. A spe
cial effort is made in the development
and racing Of horses of that age, and
as majority often are not strong
enough to stand the work they break
down. Fully 60 per cent of two-year
olds fail to pass successfully through
the ordeal of racing, and of the
horses that begin as two-year-olds moi
one in a hundred is fit for racing al
five years old. A large proportion is
incapacitated for work on the track
at four years.
"As to the mares, very few of them
are of any value as racers after thei1
fifth year. They have better future
than the geldings and stations, fol
there is always lively demand fol
good breed mares.
"However, as improvement IL
breeding goes on, we may develop {
two-year-old that will better stant
the vicissitudes of campaigning.''-
