The Peculiar Habits Of the HIS
torlan's Daily Life.

The Peculiar Habits Of the He.
torSan's Daily Life.
The daily life Of Theirs was very Pc
culiar. He rose always at very early
hour, about 5 o'clock in the morning,
seldom later. After cup of coffee and
a light repast he would work steadily
for many hours. Then he usually took
a walk or would perhaps play a game
Of tennis before breakfast. which meal
was served at the usual French hour.
Then he would speak to his friends and
60 out for drive, sometimes pay visits
and return a little after 4, when he
went regularly to bed and slept till 1t
was time to get ready for dinner. For
some extraordinary reason his dinner
hour was $50, and he was very pune
tual. After dinner he always slept for
twenty minutes or half an hour and
then would remain up chatting and
talking to a late hour. His brightest
moment was always subsequent to his
after dinner sleep. No one could be
more agreeable in conversation, more
easy or natural or more ready to i'm
part Information without being prolix.
He was q true PrOvencal in all his
tastes and habits. He loved the bright
sun of his native Provence. He thor
oughly appreciated the peculiar charm
Of the coast near Marseilles, the beau
ty Of the gray olive groves and the
smile of the Mediterranean. He pre-
1erred the dishes of Provence to almost
any others. He used to mix oil liberal
~ with his food, and 1 remember at
dinner at the Duchesse Galliera's a
fair sized bottle Of oil was specially
placed next his plate, and he consumed
It all.-COrnhill Magazine.

FOR REMoUNT STATION.
Military Authorities viii Ask Con-
ores for Necessary Funds.

Junction City, Kan, Dec 1.-Plans are
being made for the establishment of a
remount station at Fort Riley. 1t was the
intention of the army authorities TO ask
congress to make an appropriation for
this purpose at this session, but the mat
ter will probably be deferred until later,
as the army authorities wish to make a
thorough investigation of the army horse
breeding farms in several of the European
countries and to gather data-that might
be valuable when such renoHnt stations
are established in this country. General
Carter will leave Washington for Europe
soon for the purpose of gathering this
data. The department is not ready yet
TO ask for the appropriation, but the sec
rotary will make the request after Cen
eral Carter sends home such data from
Europe.
The plan for establishing a remount
station at Fort Riley is not only i'm
portant for the army, but also important
for the farmers in this part of the coun-
try. The plan is to provide stations and
make arrangements with farmers who
have suitable farms to breed mares and
allow the officers at the post to purchase
direct from the farmers instead of buying
from the contractors. The government
now spends about 100000 per year pur-
CHASING cavalry and artillery horses. and
it is not able to obtain a supply of horses
best suited for cavalry and artillery ser
vice. The breeding of Norman Percheron
horses with their heavy bodies and necks
and their short, soft hoofs, has spoiled
the average farm horse for the service
The breeding of trotting horses, an army
officer says, is no better for the army
ems for youltry. Heretofore the con-
tractor who supplied Il = army with horses
had to collect a large number Of all kinds
of horses and submit them to the army
inspectors. and after the inspectors had
picked out the horses wanted by the army
the contractor always had many annnals
left on his hands for each contract. This
circumstance made the price for the
horses accepted by the government high
enough to cover this margin of loss.
If the army horse breeding station is
established the government will provide
suitable stations and enable the farmer
to breed the right kind of stock. Then
the government would buy direct from
the farmer and the farmer would have
good market for his horses and would
get a good price and the government
would get horses suitable for the army
service.

Respectfully yours,
JOHN J. BRINkERHOFF,

Considering the time that has been
consumed in the settlement of this es-
tate and the expenses incurred by the

is extremely favorable, and indicates con-
clusively that the Kansas Mutual p.licy-
holders are amply provided for and are
left in splendid condition.
While considerable time has been con-
sumed by the actuaries IN preparing their
report, mere glance at it will convince
any one that the work shows the result
of industry and great painstaking, and

intrusted TO two men of such well recog-
nized actuarial ability as Major John J.
