The Losses OF Horses in War.

From The United Serrice Rcrem.
Deaths due to wounds received In BATHS
constitute but an Insignificant part Of tho
losses OF cavalry horses in war. II was only
after war experience of two years that .
cavalry bureau was established In lss3. This
resulted in economy and increased efficiency,
for an enormous number Of horses, tempo-
rarily disabled through excessive marching
and lack OF forage were turned in at the gem
eral dapots and recuperated sufficiently TO 10
again issued. The number turned in was but
fraction Of the whole number issued, OWING
TO the difhculty Of returning worn-out horses
from distant and isolated points.
Some idea OF the dimensions of the remount
business may Re had from the statement
that lss.7iS horses were purchased durihg tho
fiscal wear ending June 20. 1863. During tho
first eight months Of that year the cav airy Of
the Army OF the Potomac was supplied with
TWO compete reMpCnts. which required 10000
horses. The total number of mules and
horses required TO keep up the supply for all
the armies was 800 each day and the data
collected showed that for every two men
OF the whole force employed one animal was
required In the ranks or trains. The recent
experience OF the British army in South Africa
indicates that the loss of animals In the civil
war was not c[ccptional and that whenever

Capes, single, double, triple, long or short,

there are coats Of silk, Of mohair, Of tweed.

merely loose fitting sack back ulsters. Vari-

Much Besides Travel
Tho courier maids best time for her
trade is the early summer, when people
are planning their holidays. But the sue
cessful courier maid must be versatile In
her accomplishments.
Although she may have two or more
languages at command and be versed in
the ways and customs Of several countries
besides her own she must unite some practi-
cal trade to her oourier's ability, If she
would get good engagements.

needleworker. besides being an intellige mt
UP in hurry. And to be good sailor,
traveller and packer are qualities absolutely
Indispensable to her vocation.
Many more courier maids are now en-
ployed than formerly. Elderly or middle
aged couples eetting out for foreign travel
frequently engage a bright. alert maid
rather than man to help them make the
trip easy. The maid is a less expensive at
tendant than q man. is more contented
on small pay and, moreover, is more
dependable.
Not. all courier maids are OF foreign origin
and considerable number are not of the
class accustomed to rendering personal
service. Some get into the business
through being companions and governesses.
College girls and daughters Of good families
whose knowledge Of the languages has
come through study, and who have q liking
for change and adventure. sometimes
take this means Of acquainting themselves
with the worlds donee.
One girl from Northwestern university,
who has piloted several parties over Europe,
through acting as waitress in a sumner T
hotel during vacation time to help in her
students bills. Since that she has taken
a course In massage treatment and allied
subjects.
The courier maids pay is regulated by
the amount OF service she bargains to rem
der outside Of her legitimate use as inter-
prefer and pilot. For that she would
usually be entitled only to her travelling
expenses.
