Stories of Horses Who Had Ideas OF
Their Own and Lived Up to Them.

Stories of Horses Who Had Ideas OF
Their Own and Lived Up to Them.
There are many instances of horses
refusing to perform their allotted dI.
ties. A certain farmer at Sateley, in
Hampshire, tells story of cart
horse which he bought "cheap at a
horse sale near Aldershot. AS events
turned out, this animal proved by no
means bargain, for from the day he
was bought to the time the disappont-
ed purchaser sold him "for mere
song" this stubborn beast absolutely
refused to do any work.
He would submit to being harnessed
In the most exemplary manner, but
when once this operation was perform
ed the willy animal would not bulge
an inch-rivaling in determination the
mule, which frequently decides to take
rest, and in Italy it is often found
necessary to light a fire underneath
the lazy offender before he can be in
duced to ''move on ...
A Well-known race horse trainer in
Sussex once had a horse which would
only work when in the mood for it.
Time after time this curiously dis.
positoned animal would. when run
ming in hurdle races lead his field, and
appear to be winning easily, until the
last hurdle was reached. He then pre-
sumably thought that he had done
enough work, for he would stop short,
and. digging his front hoofs into the
ground, would allow every horse in the
race to pass him, after which he would
quietly trot off to the paddock.
Apparently there was method in this
peculiar idiosyncrasy, for his trainer
was of opinion that the horse counted
the hurdles-there are eight in a race
and, mindful of the many hidings he
had in former days received in the
run ln' from the last hurdle to the
winning post. had formed resolve
never again to negotiate the final hur.

Seven Years. War between Germany
and Austria and the dynastic wars of
the eighteenth century the rival armies
opened fire at a distance Of one hun
dred yards. and after the first few
volleys charged with the bayonet or
pike. The average loss in those wars
was seventeen per cent Of the total
number of combatants. During the
time Of the Civil Revolution and the
Napoleonic era the losses were sixteen
per cent. In the Italian war and Cri-
mean war, with improved weapons,
the loss fell to fourteen per cent. In
1865, in the war Of Prussia against
Austria, with improved needle-guns
and greater distance, the losses were,
seven per cent. In the Franco-Prus-
sian war the losses sank to five per
cent. This is both fortunate and un-,
fortunate, according to ones view
point. But the financial argument for
peace cannot be gainsaid.

The Great Russian Lake.

Lake Baikal, which figures SO much
In the Oriental situation, is a some
what remarkable body Of water. Its
Bei-kul, "rich lake"-the reference be-
ing. presumably to the valuable fish
with which it swarms.
Lake Baikal is the third largest body
Of water In Asia. The Caspian and
Aral seas are the two larger. Both are
salt, however, while Baikal Is fresh.
1t is, therefore, the largest fresh wa
ter lake in Asia, and the sixth in size
in the world, the five Great Lakes of
North America each exceeding it in
area. Its waters occupy remarkable
depression in the vast plateau of Cen
trail Asia. The level Of its waters Is
1900 feet above the sea, while the bot
tom of the lake is. in some places,
more than 5000 feet below the sea
level. Its depth Is, therefore, 4.5O0
feet in the deepest parts.
The lake is $50 miles long. and from
nine and quarter to forty miles wide.
Its waters are a deep blue, and re-
markably clear. There are a number
Of islands in 1t; the largest Olkhon, is
forty-two miles long. There are nu-
merous hot springs on the shores, and
earthquake vibrations are frequent.
The annual value Of its salmon, stur-
geon and other fisheries is about one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
Fresh water seals are abundant, and
they are caught for their fur. 1t re-
ceives the waters Of several sEeams,
the main one being the Salnega River,
eight hundred miles long. The upper
Angara River, also of considerable
size, enters its northeastern end. It's
outlet is the Lower Angara, on which
Irkutsk is situated.
The reason why the Siberian Rail.
road was not built around the southern
end of the lake is that the solid rock
of the mountains reaches to the wa.
ter's edge, and the task would be her
culean. Events in the East may com.

A SPRING SONG.

When Love comes to my garden
He walks with dainty tread,
The lilies blaze before him,
The moss-rose lifts it's head;
The trim-kept lawns grow greener,
The borders blush with pride.
The buds burst into blossom
When Love walks by my side.
When Love leaves my sad garden
The roses petals fall,
The jasmine's scented clusters
Fade, dying. on the wall:
The lawns grow dock and thistle,
The paths are rank with weeds,
And all the dainty borders
Are strewn with fallen seeds.
Sweet Love, stay In my garden,
Rest in Its rosy shades,
Bask In Its scented sunshine,
Dream in Its leafy glades;
Sing to the strings Of pleasure,
Through all life's penilune;
Make every season summer,
Let every month be June.
