THE ARABIAN HORSES TAIL

The way the Arabian horse holds
his tail is looked upon as the finest
point Of breeding. The Arabs believe
that the spirit Of God is shown there.
No man living can account for the
way they do it. 1t equals the arch of
the neck and balances the horse. Mr..
Bailey Of Barnum & Bailey's circus
tells me that they have tried every
thing to get their horses to carry
their tails that way. But the Arabian
horse is the only one that does it,
Another thing about the Arabian
horse is the tremendous width Of the
1owl. Nature didn't intend an ordi.
nary horse to run far; his windpipe is
too small The blood runs cold in
his veins and he quits. | noticed the
other day in the paper of great race
horse that choked to death on the
track and dropped dead trying to win.
My horse Nejdran, standing 141a
hands high, is three times as broad
across the throat as wonder Of
horse standing 10 hands high with
which l compared him.
That is where the Arabian horse
gets his endurance. He has the abil-
ity to run. He is the only horse
which, looked at from behind, shows
both barrels of the ribs; he has big

Did the ancient highly civilized ma
tions Of the past die out because they
were blonde and therefore untitled for
the regions in which they flourlshed?
DR.. Charles e. Woodruff, a surgeon in
the United States army, who has writ
ten a book on the subject, believes
that this was the case. He maintains
that too much light is injurious to
white races through its actinic or
chemical effects, from which the dark
skin pigments of swarthy races pro-
tect them. Thus he explains why, by
survival of the fittest, dark races are
found in tropical lands, why Euro
peans have always failed to colonize
the tropics and why blondes disappear
when they migrate southwark. Says
a reviewer in the Edinburgh Medical
Journal: The blonde and intelligent
rulers of regions suited better for
more swarthy inhabitants have regu-
larly in the course of ages died out,
while their subjects, thoroughly ac-
climatzed to their domicile, remain.
Egypt has been the theater of immi-
grafton of intellectual races over and
over again; in each case these dis
appeared and civilization decayed,
though the native fellah survived and
survives. There will the author
predicts, never be another dark age,
for the present Aryan conquerors rule
it from London and are not coloniz-
ers.' While the blonde type of man
kind requires for its evolution cold,
dark, northern country, the brunette

King Richard, who was very
wealthy man, took an artist to the
edge of the desert and captivated the
Arabs with pictures and bribcs until
he induced them to part with four or
five horses. These were taken to
Kentucky.
During the war two men who were
trying to escape from Kentucky to
Virginia were mounted, one on one

HOW CLIMATE AFFECTS BLONDES

Of various degrees Of intensity up TO
absolute blackness is alone adapted
for lasting existence in most regions
of the world"
There is too much sunshine in the
United States and none of the races
that have come to this country until
recently is adapted to the climate,
DR. Woodruff thinks, except the Jews.
All the rest are degenerating from ex-
cessive light. The lower Mediterran-
can races, however, are now hooking
over, and if the blonde types die out
as they did in Greece and Italy during
the decadence Of these two countries,
United States history may repeat
theirs, though DR.. Woodruff believes
that the northern types may survive
in sufficient numbers to prevent the
destruction Of the republic provided
1t takes warning and limits the fran
chise to the races represented by
these types.
About seven centuries were re-
quired, according to DR.. Woodruff, for
the climate of Greece to destroy its
blondes. In 500 B. c., the period OF
its greatest literary glory, the deca-
dence of the Greeks was already evil
dent and shows itself to-day in their
literature and art. DR.. Woodruff
points out how ancient Greek statues
exhibit many of the stigmata of de-
Ceneracy; even famous head of Juno
has arrested development of the jaw
and is "the head Of dying race

CHAPTER II.
THE OAK CHESTS.

Accustomed from my infancy to
wander unrestraned through the
gloomy rooms and corridors Of Hol,
dcnhurst Hall, had fiattercd myself
that | was familiar with every nook
and corner of the old mansion.
But my mind was considerably eXer.
ci;cd in the cndcavor to determine the
whereabouts of the two oak chests to
which my father had referred in his
conversation with uncle Sam. l did
not remember having ever seen any
such chests, and could think of no
place from garret to basement which
| considered likely to contain them.
These thouGhts-much confused
with idle speculation concerning
my uncle whose acquaintance
had just made, of my aunt
whom I had not yet seen, and of
various ideas started by the conversa-
ton of the two hrothers-llept me
awake until long after l had retired to
bed.

my pillows, but could not sleep. When

the sense of power which had now
