THE HORSE IN BATTLE

The part which cavalry horse takes
IN battle can never be filled by any
machine, no matter what it's capabil-
of battle at least to take on character
istics which belong only to being en-
dowed with reason. He partakes OF
the hopes and fears of the conflict, the
same as his rider. If he has been six
months in the service he knows every
bugle call. AS the column swings into
line and waits the horse grows nervous
with waiting, and if the wait be long
will often tremble and sweat AS the
call comes to advance the rider can
feel him working at the bit with his
tongue to get it between his teeth.
AS he moves out he will either try to
get on faster or bolt. The lines will
carry him forward and after minute
he will lay back his ears and one can
feel his sudden resolve to brave the
worst and have done with it as soon
as possible. A man seldom cries out
when hit in the turmoil Of battle, and
it Is the same with the horse. Five
troopers out of six when struck with a
bullet are out of their saddles in a
minute. If hit in the breast or
shoulder, up go their hands and they
get a heavy fall; if in the leg, foot or
arm they fall forward and roll off.
Even with foot cut off by Jagged
piece of shell horse will not drop.
1t is only when shot in the head or
heart that he comes down. The horse
that loses his rider and is unwounded
himself will continue to run with his
set of fours until some movement
throws him out. Then he goes gallop-
ing, here and there, neighing with fear
and alarm, but will not leave the
field. When he has come upon several
riderless steeds they fall in and keep
together and the rally of the bugle
often will bring them into the ranks
together.

NEW MONEY IN DEMAND

"New York, or that part of it that
lives and Ioafs and works along the
lively sections of Broadway, seems to
have a craze for new money now
adays," said julius Witmark, as he
folded a bundle of crisp new bills
that a waiter in restaurant had just
given him in change. ANY restaurant,
cafe or club that you may go into from
Twenty-third to Forty-fifth street is
sure to have a stock of brand new
bills to make change with. 1t has got
so now that if patron is given a
soiled bill he feels offended.
1.-THE president of a big Broadway
bank in this neighborhood told me re-
Gently that they gave out more than
$50 900 weekly in new small bills to res
taurant and cafe proprietors for this
very purpose. From sanitary point
of view it is undoubtedly very good
fashion. 1t is one of those fads that
have common sense to recommend
them."

There are quite a number of meth
DDS of making the design permanent.
The first, and perhaps the easiest, is
by burning with a topographic point.
When burning the point should not be
very hot, and the movements should
be slow and continuous. The Zulus dec
crate their gourds for holding their
shee butter "a natural botanical but
teri by burning.
The colors to be obtained range from
a brown to a black. The design may
be in shades of brown and the ground
black or the reverse. Again the pyro-
graphic point may, be used for outlin-
ing only, and the design may be
brought out by scraping; that is to say
the hard, greasy surface of a buff or
reddish tinge may be left fora the
ground and in between the pyrographic
line scraped down to the creamy white
layer for the design. The scraping is
done with pieces of broken window
glass when large surfaces are to be
scraped away, but when more delicate
work is to be done a sharp knife is
preferable. When this scraping is
carefully and uniformly executed it has

the tone of old ivory, The reverse Of
the above, according to the design, is
very effective. For instance suppos-
ing the design is the ox-eyed daisy the
gourd can be scraped away, the daisy
lightly outlined, then the petals slight
ly scraped in parts for the higher
lights, the eye can be put in with pyro-
graphic dots, then the edges of the
dots slightly scraped. This will be
found very pleasing and effective.
Another method of decorating is by
the use of aniline dyes. With them
quite combination of tones can be
arranged either for the ground or the
ornament by burning or 5scraping. The
gourds when properly prepared can be
dyed the following coors with aniline
used for cotton goods. Green, seal
brown, blue, Indian red. Other colors
are not satisfactory. The preparation,
before any cutting is done upon the
work. is as follows: The gourd is filed
with sand and corlled up; prepare some
strong, hot soda or potash water, sub
merge the gourd in this for about ten
minutes, then prepare the dye; have it
boiling; take the gourd from the potash
and wash it thoroughly in clean hot

Tricks of Mule Deer

One of the venerable tricks of the
mule deer of this country Is retiring
into the heavy cover very early in the
morning and remaining there during
the whole of the day. During the full
of the moon, when they are on foot
most of the night and we'll fed before
daylight, they are SO certain to do
this that it is almost useless to hunt.
Especially is this so in the early part
of the summer. There is little trouble
light, struggling, too, in manner that
shows the deer are on the point of
lying down for the day. Yet the more
certain you become that they cannot
be more than a few hundred feet away
the more you are overcome with Won
der at your inability to see or even
hear one run. If patient enough to
work out single track you may pos
sibly start leer near enough to see
or hear, but not near enough TO see
them almost throw the dust in my face
from their plunging hoofs, yet could
see no hair long enough to make sure
of getting the rifle sights upon it. But
even seeing one in this way is the rare
exception; for the deer instead OF
waiting until they are certain you see
them, more often sneak off with silent
step and lowered head, SO that while
you are wondering where they are.
they may be but few yards way,
knowing they are perfectly safe. For
the evergreen robe of lilac, manzanita
and buckthorn that covers much OF the
hills of California is so dense and stiff
that a man makes slow progress in it.

fence about as readily as leap 1t. finds

Macadan7ized
With Gems

- VERY one is familiar with the
accidental discovery Of the rich
ness of the diamond mines in
South Africa. The brilliant stone which
the peddler found among the pebbles
with which some children were play
ing was sent in a sealed envelope to
a DR.. Atherstone, so little was its value
even guessed. The doctor, who was
something of geologist, recognized the
stone as diamond of great value, and
the diamond fever which broke outsim-
mediately led many to the mines which
were soon found. The camp which
soon formed was called Kimberley.
Water was scarce in these mines,
and yet It was almost Indispensable
for washing the diamond bearing soil
and getting the precious stones out
easily. Many workmen trying to do
without it took the diamonds out of
the dry earth, with the result that
great number of the stones remained
in the debris of the soil which had
been searched.
Kimberley grew so rapidly that It
soon had a municipal council, which,
among other things, undertook TO
macadamize the streets. The debris,
which was in the miners way, was
found excellent for the purpose so the
city undertook to rid them Of these
rubbish heaps. After fifteen or six
teen years the mines became too deep
to be worked by individuals. Further,
the almost unlimited supply lowered
the price OF the diamonds. Financiers
succeeded in buying up all the mines,
or rather in uniting them. The pro-
duction was lessened to raise the price,
machinery was used instead of men
and many workmen were thrown out
of employment.
1t was then remembered that the
streets OF Kimberley contained enor-
nous quantities of diamonds and that
water brought from the river was
abundant and cheap.
The municipal council was petitioned
by the unemployed workmen for per-
mission to wash over the macadam in
1t. This permission was obtained, and
each year a certain length of street
was given over to them. These wash
ings yield about $20O,OOOO yearly. Mag
nificent stones are found and some ex-'
ceedingly rich places. AS an example.
twelve yards of a single street once
yielded $4,000 worth Of diamonds.

away the sharp edge, likewise some
of the pith.
Many gourds will stand without feet,
but if the gourd is of such a shape
that it should have feet their position
should now be marked off. To mark
off the feet find the center of the bot
tom of the gourd, then make a circle
the size to where the feet should come
and divide the circle into as many parts
as there are to be feet Brass balls of
various sizes can be purchased for this
purpose at an upholsterers shop. They
are used for curtain rods and have
thread inserted in them, with a thread
attached. A small hole should be made
ir the gourd, smaller than the thread
ed wire, which should then be screwed
hold them secure and prevent leakage.
Some shapes look we'll mounted on
Venetian frames, not necessarily iron,
as brass or copper strips can be used;
% gauge will be found stout enough
for small sizes. The design is the next
consideration. 1t should be drawn di-
rect upon the surface with an H. B.
lead pencil.
Before commencing to draw the de-
sign the gourd should be well washed
with strong ammonia to remove the
grease from the surface. The pencil
marks will then hold on the surface
and not rub off.

Her Clients Are Practical
Readers of kindly instinct will glance
with sympathy at her poetic effusions
and will always remember that her
clients are drawn from the same class
as the widow who expressed her monu-
mental grief in phrase appropriate to
her feelings:

Greenough says the words were writ

purchaser paid two dollars for the
balm thus applied to her weary spirit,
and as the recipient was a woman OF
uncertain age, doubtless the prescrip-
tion was efficacious. The poem on

atm as follows:
AS children we played on the hillside. when
the future looked
Bright and gay and the birds sang a song
OF our hopes so strong,
Not care did they seem to say.
But a. years passed away and the time came
to part, sadness filied
Both our hearts that day, for the one had
loved soon with angels
Above would be carried far away.
Oh. happy childhood hearts that are fun and
free, playing on the
Hillside, from earthly cares set free,
Oh. happy childhood. could you but longer

Ache, friends ne'er forsake,

| When the gourd has been thoroughly
cleaned, either with potash or strong
ammonia, these colors can be either
flooded on or they can be applied with
wide camel hair brush. This method
of cooring can be done after the gourds
are cut up. To facilitate the handling
of them piece of wood should be put
in them and held secure by tucking
pieces of paper around it. This will be
found quite necessary when flooding
the color on, especially when two or
| three colors are being flooded at the
same time. When the colors are put
on satisfactorily the gourds should be
| put in a warm place to set the lacquer.
When thoroughly hardened they should
be given a coat of good spa varnish,
laid on very thinly with the fingers.
This will take a day or two to dry, ac-
cording to the weather.
These colored gourds can be again
decorated by another method akin to
engraving. This is done with a small
gouge called Myers fishtail carving
gouge one-sixteenth of an inch. This
gouge is broken in two and inserted
, in wood engraver's half handle. In
cutting out the design the thumb
guides the tool, while the heel of the
hand pushes it forward, making short
clean cuts, barely down to the pith.
The work is held in the left hand, per-
fectly steady against the chest, while
the thumb and the hand do the NOV
ing.
When this gouging is finished it will
be an outline design upon colored
ground. These incisions can again be
colored either in contrast, using various
colors, or in harmony. The colors used
for this should be water colors, mixed
with drop or two Of glycerine, and
should be Finished before the gourd
is vanished. Pictorial engraving can
likewise be done upon the gourd with
good effect by a skillful artisan.
When this method is resorted to the
lines should be filed with India ink,
rubbed up with little glycerine and
passed over the engraved lines with the
] fingers.

w THILE some repine and lament
wv that the struggle for existence
grows harder, Miss Ida M
Greenough of Los Angeles garners a
comfortable subsistence by writing
poetry to order. This little woman re-
minds one of the sweet singer of Mich
igan and she even rivals that gifted
Virginian who wrote:
Lo! The poor benighted Hindu does the best
he kin do,
He sticks to his caste from first to last,
And for pants he makes his skin do.
Miss Greenough's speciality is senti-
mentality, and her patrons are those
who sorrow or whose exuberance of
spirit cannot find vent in mere prose
and at the same time are without in
ventive faculty to jingle rhymes to-
gether. This girl saw her opportunity
and with a stock in trade of type
writer, abundant sympathy and some
hustIing gathered around her num-
Der of persons who order her verses
"for private consumption"
Miss Greenough's muse ambles some
what according to the measure of Walt
Whitman, and her contempt for lambs,
anapests, dactyls or trochees is sub
lime. Withal she succeeds in salving
many a heart wound and in raising
many a sinking spirit.
This poetess has had a truly sad
life. Born ir Maine her physique was
too delicate to Withstand the bleak east
winds, and in her girlhood she came
to Los Angeles to nourish the flicker
ing flame of her life. She is energetic
and quickly found employment as a
saleswoman, but when she was enjoy
ing the first days after her arrival in
Southern California she was thrown
from a street car and so badly in
jured that only months of patience and
good nursing could afford her any
chance of recovery. 1t was during
these dark days that she began her
career as a professional poet or ready
verse writer.
BY the way, Miss Greenough's mis-
hap was due TO woman's perverse habit
OF alighting from vehicles backward.
During her uneonsciousness the rail-
road gathered all the witnesses to the
accident and obtained a sheaf of evil

ASTRONOMY IN The EAST

It is now nearly 200 years since
French astronomers went to Peru to
measure IAN arc of meridian" The
purpose Of such arcs is to furnish data
for calculating the size and shape OF
the earth. The arc in Peru was about
22O miles in length, and, with the
exception of a short arc in South
Africa. it is the only one ever meas
ured In the southern hemisphere. This
year a commission headed by army
officers has been sent from France to
remeasure the arc in Peru. The re-
measurement is regarded as of great
scientific importance on account Of the
advances that have been made since
the first measure was taken.

water; then submerge it in the dye.
Let it remain until it is sufficient col
ored; then wash in hot water and dry
with clean rags. Another method
whereby colors and harmony of colors
can be got is by using aniline dyes
that are special for use with alcohol.
Directions for Coloring
To prepare the colors procure as many
four ounce phials as the number OF
colors you wish to put up; put two
drachms of the powdered aniline into
each of the phials and fill up with
ninety-five degrees alcohol. This is the
stock solution
Next get a pound of bleached shellac,
break it up into small pieces and put
it into warm place to evaporate the
water which it invariably contains.
When thoroughly dry place in a large
bottle and add a half gallon of wood
alcohol; place the bottle in a warm,
dark closet for three or four days;
shake it occasionally. On the fourth
day decant carefully into wide
mouthed bottle the clear liquid, which
is called lacquer. 1t should be kept in
dark place or in black bottle. To
make up the colors some two ounce
wide mouthed phials should be pro-
cured Half fill these with the lacquer
and the other half the color. They are
now ready for use.
