EDUCATING HORSES FOR WAR.
Enormous Sums Spent by the Nations

azine. Germany needs million horses
for cavalry and artillery to put her
colossal forces in the field: France re-
quires probably 100000. and even
Great Britain has needed as many as
230 .000-in her serious predicament In
South Africa while she was fighting
the Beers.
Although England In peace time
mounts only two-thirds of her cavalry,
her horse bill amounts to about $780,
900 year-a figure which may be
multiplied by four or five for the Ger.

istered as being available In time Of
war for miscellaneous service, and for
this anything from $4,000 to $4,000
year may be paid by military ma

France spends upward Of $600,0 a
year on horses for her great armies.
AS a general rule, the recruits are
five years old and cost 5000 each.

Woman Ascetic Goes to Extremes In
Her Doctrines.

Whatever may be said about won.
ans love of clothes and display, your
only true ascetic is a woman. Miss
Martha Bortle, preacher and club
woman Of Washington, is the latest
proof Of this fact. A few days ago
she addressed the Woman's club at
ChautauQua, N. Y, and even In that
spot, where the PRONUNCIATION of q
new doctrine is as common as the
breathing of the air. she made her
hearers gasp. Evidently Miss Bortle
accepts literally the parable of the

Dogs Ashes Preserved in an Urn.

A Philadelphia young woman, the
former mistress of an intelligent lit
tie fox terrier, who, until he died, was
the pet of an entire neighborhood, has
hit upon most unusual method of
keeping fresh the memory Of her little
pet. When the dog was taken sick
his mistress summoned at once a vet
erinarian, who did everything possible
to save the animal, but all to no pur-
pose. When it finally died the young
woman was disconsolate and eagerly
seized upon q suggestion made half In
jest by friend that she have the re-
mains cremated. The doctor was dele
gated to secure the services of assist
ants. and the ashes, after the cere-
mony, were incased in handsome
bronze vase, which now rests on a
table In the drawing room of the
woman. Beside the urn stands the
picture of the little dog, taken when
he was standing at attention at the
command OF his mistress.
