Strange Accidents That Followed an
 Unlucky Miscue.
Billiard Ball Smashed a Rare ola vaae, Caus ed an old Lady's Death and Broke a Promising

A single miscue of billiard bali has started train of mishaps that contribute to make two young per- sons exceedingly unhappy, have caused the death of & highly re- spected and wealthy aunt of one of the two young persons and partly. destroyed an expensive residence. !
 The miscue was made by M. Reichsi ard, young Parisian of wealth, who. Is exceedingly fond of billiards. He. Is in the habit of playing quiet game at his home whenever the idea appeals to him, and on the occasion of the miscue was indulging in hia favorite pastime. The balls were left ! In position that appealed to his bil- \ Hard instinct as particularly suitedt' to a finely devised carom. He shot with considerable force, but with an utter lack of his usual skill. Thak ball went bounding from the tables and, striking the tiled floor of the billiard room, bounded along the floor and out of the window. There was a sound of smashing glass and the ball was given up for lost.
 In the house immediately adjoining the house of NJ. Reichard lived an in-s valid woman of some wealth, andR possessed, above all, of a. most at~I tractive young niece. They were closa friends of the young man who made the miscue, and, in fact, he had forl some time been engaged to marrxj the pretty niece.
 It appears, however, that the bile. Hard ball, after it's leap out of theE window, was not content to stop ael a bit of broken glass. It wenSI through the glass top of the consS servatory and fell directly upon q

BREEDING ARMY HORSES.
England to Els stnbIish Hmm ense Stock
 Farms in Australia and Pretoria. tt

The British authorities have decided to have immense stud farms here, be- ginning with horses and afterward ex- tending the breeding establishments to cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys and mules. The first order for brood mares will be given in this country to the military authorities, who will sell them to the civil authorities It is ascertained that 4,0oo mares are thus to be acquired with, of course, stall lions. After time these will be inn plenty of blood in the country to make beginning, writes a Pretoria corre- spondent of the Pall Mall Gazette.
 The mares to be handed over by the military authorities are mostly ac- climatized now. Many of them will be of the Boer mare breed, a hardy light little animal which breeds we'll and is very useful in the long grass and stony veldt and kopje-just the animals, in fact, to carry man around his farm and bring his produce to market in quick time over long distances.
 One of the largest breeding estab- lishments will be at Standerton. Brit ish and Australian men versed in horses are to be appointed, and sev- eral of these breeding depots, and sev- eral well-known men who have made the horse a study have already been appointed to select the mare and stall lion grounds for the commencement.
