CHARM OF THE UNEXPECTED.

How a Henrtbroken Lover Was Lifted
From the Depths of Despair,
Once there was a man who quarreied
with his Hancee. 1t was a hasty quar-
rel, which he heartily repented at LEI

more heartbroken he became,

Ancestry of the Horse.

Professor Lydekker, In knowledge
and Scientific News, discusses, In
some detail, the origin Of the modern
horse, He finds that the horse Of neo-
lithic times was not specifically dis
tinct from the horse of the present.
While there Is no doubt that the horse
of that period was used by man for
food. there seems to be no conclusive
evidence as to whether it was domes-
ticated or not. His own opinion, how
ever, is that 1t was probably domesd-
Gated. The horse of that time was
closely allied to the tarpan, or semi
wild horse, that lived in southern Rus
STA up to century ego. This was a
"hog-maned," short-legged, large-head-
ed beast 1t seems probable that the
domesticated horses of the Germans
of Caesars time were derived from
this breed. The Egyptians had horses
as early as 1900 B. G. These were
long-maned, more like the Arab horses
and came from Assyria. Where the
Assyrians obtained them Is unknown,
but it was probably from southern
Asia, where this long-maned breed
has been developed, IN all probability.
as the result of long-continued domes-
tication. Our modern horse is a cross
between these two breeds, with fur
Their mixture Of the Arab horse. This
Arab horse, too. was itself a descend
ant of the earlier iong-maned horse
The origin of the long-maned horse Is
a matter of doubt. but Professor Ly-
dekker thinks 1t may have been from
an extinct Indian species.

Horse-Power Versus Man-Power.

Easterly from Bath, Me, among the
coast islands, runs a crooked and in
tricate channel, through which ply
small steamers carrying freight and
passengers as far as Boothbay Har-
Dor. There are many bays and mar
rows along the way, and the confused
tides beget unruly currents which have
given the channel the name of Hell
Gate Passage"
A ''resorter" living near the Booth
bay end of the route received word
last summer that some friends would
be down on the Sunday boat from
Boston, reaching Bath in the evening.
Unfortunately there was no small
steamer connecting with it, and no
way for them to come over till Mon
day. Not wishing to leave them to the
tender mercies of hotel, the resOrter
applied to a neighboring native for
aid.
Captain Hiram" he said, "can
get you to go over to Bath, Sunday
evening, with your launch to meet
some friends and bring them over?"
Captain Hiram reflected. He want

A SCULPTURED ROCK.

In the western part OF Persia stands
the rock of Behistun, which means the
place of the Gods" 1t is an i'm
mense cliff rising LOO feet out of the
level plain. On this huge rock King
Darius the Great left to posterity the
record of his mighty deeds. Far up
the granite face, 500 feet from the
ground, the ancient sculptors, obeying
the royal command, did their work,
and did 1t so well that it exists almost
unimpaired to the present day. Pro-
fessor Jackson of Columbia University
has recently paid visit to Behistun.
An account of his experience is given
in the New York Times.

Professor Jackson, after four days in
the saddle, first sighted the great SEN

CHICAGO STRIKE CONTINUES.
President Shea Says Struggle viii
Go On.

An adjustment of the Chicago team
sters strike by mediation seems as re-
mote as it did two months ago. Peace
negotiations begun last week, which
promised to bring about an amicable
adjustment of the difficulty, have been
abandoned for the present at least and
the strike will be allowed to take it's
natural course, according to President
Shea of the teamsters' union. A nat
ural course means one of two things,
either a spread of the strike or a de-
feat for the union, as all business firms
now involved in the trouble absolutely
refuse to concede anything further in
the controversy or to bring about a
settlement.
Peace negotiations are off for all
time" said Levy Mayer, chief counsel
for the employers, tonight. 1--WE are alb
solutely finished with all conferences
with the strikers. The only way that
a settlement can be reached now is
for the strikers to acknowledge de-
feat"
Shea's Explanation.
THE employers blocked a settlement
last night, said President Shea today.
Their objection to the men wearing
union buttons and refusal to agree
not to discriminate against the strikers
was all that prevented the calling off
of the strike. We feel that our posi-
ton is as strong as it was a month
ago. and we are not going to give in
now that we believe the struggle prac-
tically won"
