Ancient Horse Lerts,.t,on.

1t was ordered in the reign of Henry
VIII, 1876, that no one should keep q
stallion of less than fourteen hands
and this Is supposed to have led to
the disappearance Of SMALLER and
most useful horse peculiar to Cornwall
BY a later act every archbishop and
duke was compelled to bave seven
trotting horses for the saddle, each
fourteen hands high at three years
Regulations were also made for the
kings subjects of lower degree down
to spiritual person whose benefce
was f100 per annum and layman
whose wife should wear any French
hood or bonnet of velvet"
These We're to have q trotting horse
for the saddle, but in the reign OF
Elizabeth all exception was made in
favor of Cambridgeshire and other
counties, which con account of their
rottennesse, infirmnesse, moisture and
waterishnesse were not able to breed
horses of such size"

MOVE TO END STRIKE

tion-Lumber Drivers Out.

Chicago, May 23.-After confer

sentatives of the transfers union anC
the employers declared this morning
that the prospects for the settlement
of the strike are excellent and that
the end of the trouble may be looked
for at any time within the next forty
eight hours.
The stumbling block in the negota
tons is the declaration by the express
companies that none of their striking
drivers will be taken back under any
circumstances. All other terms sub
mitted by the employers to the strik
ers have been accepted. The man
ayers of the express companies de
clared that while they would re-em
ploy none of their drivers, they had
no intention of keeping a blacklist
and there would be no objection to any
driver who secured a position with
some express company other than the
one by which he was employed at the
time he struck. He would be given a
position, it was asserted, if a vacancy
existed at the time of his application
This phase of the strike was the only
matter discussed at the conference
last night, and in the opinion of all
present it opened way for a settle.

Despite this move for peace the
lumbermen's association is preparing
Tor an extension of the strike. At a
meeting of this organization it was
decided that the siXty-five firms com.
posing the association would compel
their drivers to make deliveries to
strike-bound houses. Twelve of these
firms enforced the order and between
200 and 300 of the drivers quit work.

niture and draperies, and therefore all
modern means of protection are pro-

lures. New York's $7.o0O.OOO Hotel AS
tor Is an excellent example of the meth
DDS in these respects.
The building itself has system of
walled in staircases and corridors di-
vlded into sections by doors which in
case OF fire can all be swung shut,
though not fastened, by merely turning
crank in the office. This prevents the
spread of smoke, which is more. to be
dreaded than flame not only because of
the suffocatfon it carries with it, but
because of the panic it almost inyarin
bly, causes.
Every room has an automatic fire
detector in the ceiling, consisting of a
thermostat and an ammonia dia-
phragm. Should the room catch fire
the ammonia boils at a temperature
of 100 degrees, expanding the dia-
phragm and closing an electrical cir.
cult which produces red light in a
tiny bulb that marks the number of
the room in the big annunciator down
stairs in the Office. The closing of this
circuit also rings a gong in a special
elevator at the engine room used only

When the gong sounds the drilled en-

guishers, axes and hooks and find hose
ready for use coupled to the standpipes
on every floor. The hose is looped over
rods instead Of being wound upon
reels and can thus be brought into
play in the quickest possible manner.
Meanwhile bells are ringing in the
Railways and servants quarters on the
floor from which the alarm has been

are trained to extdpguish fires, SO every

WING Shots at Sea,

Outing: One morning the yacht Linda
steamed out of the Bay Of Avalon with
two or three friends and myself sitting
on the upper deck, about eight feet from
the water, each armed with a shotgun.
The Linda was headed up the coast and
was presently running at full speed, and
which rose at or near the bow and went
Swimming away In graceful lines. The
first flyer went to the left, and was cIev-
erly dropped by one Of my companions,
who killed another with his left barrel.
The third fish fell to me. 1t rose twenty
feet ahead with a vigorous trembling Of
the body. produced by the screw-llke mo-
ton, and dashed away three feet above
the surface. AS it swerved to the right

which came straight toward the boat. ris-
ing slightly on the stiff wind. L did not

paEs-- over the boat into the preserves
of my companion. who dropped it when
fifty feet away.
There was something essentially novel
in this sport. The fish appeared as
though by magic, shooting out of the
water with little or no splash, often ap-
parently sailing along a foot above the
surface, which 1t so resembled that
was as difficult to drop them as 1t woul
be the woodcock darting over cover that
it perfectly resembled. There was one es-
sentlal lacking in this novel sport-a re-
tricVer. Many of the fish sank before the
small boat could be cast off to secure
them.

had bought a few puffs of false hair.
This displeased him. He hid in the hall
one day, and, just as the lady was fixing
the false puffs upon her brow, he darted
in upon her.
