OF course to have a talk with the

assure the interviewers that he had

EDUCATING HORSES FOR WAR.
Enormous Sums Spent by the Nations
 of the World

From the earliest times the horse has been a potent factor in war, and to-day his education is a delicate and serious matter, undertaken at great expense by all the nations of the world, says writer in the Circle Mag azine. Germany needs million horses for cavalry and artillery to put her colossal forces in the field: France re- quires probably 750,000, and even Great Britain has needed as many as 23O, O,OOO-in her serious predicament in South Africa while she was fighting the Boers.
 Although England in peace time mounts only two-thirds of her cavalry, her horse bill amounts to about $400,- 900 a year-a figure which may be multiplied by four or five for the Ger man army In most countries omni bus, farm and domestic horses are reg 1stered as being available in time of war for miscellaneous service, and for this anything from $30,00O to $150. 900 year may be paid by a military na- tion.
 France spends upward of $500, 900 a year on horses for her great armies. AS general rule, the recruits are hVe years old and cost $200 each

WOULD BAR THE WEALTHY.
Woman Ascetic Goes to Extremes in
 Her Doctrines.

Whatever may be said about wom- 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 promulgation of a 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 rich man being in the same predica- ment as the camel which would pass through the needles eye, for she said:
 ''l should like to build elegant churches in the slums. but l would put up a large bulletin board in front with the notice No persons wearing diamonds shall enter this church No automobiles shall stop at this church No one who rides in a carriage shall stop or enter this church Only those who walk or ride in street car are entitled to seat in this house."

Swimmers Cramps"

You often hear of people dying from cramps while in swimming" said James D. Rose of Martin, Tenn. "Peo- pie don't die from cramps while in bathing. The water gets in the ears, floods the ear drum, and causes the nerves leading to the brain to become paralyzed. This naturally forces other vital nerves to cease performing their duty, and the result is death If peo- pie who go in swimming would put cotton in their ears the number of deaths from cramps would be much smaller, This information was impart- ed to me several years ago by an old German physician in the mountains, and who was an intelligent but queer individual. Whenever l go in swim ming l always put cotton in my ears. and I'm never afraid of having cramps "

HAD USE FOR THE OIL.
Workmen Found It Good for Other
 Things Besides Medicine.

Some years ago a railway was be- ing made in the west of Scotland, and it was arranged that each of the nu- merous navvies employed should pay Id. per week to a medical practition- CT, so that they might have his serv- ices in the event of accident, or medi- cine in the case of illness.
 During the summer and autumn neither illness nor accident occurred.
 But when a severe winter followed, all at once the "navigators" began to call on the doctor for castor oil.
 Each brought his bottle, into which an ounce was poured, until the oil was exhausted, and the doctor was forced to send to town for further supply.
 When that, too, was getting low, the doctor one day quietly asked healthy looking fellow what was wrong with the men that they required so much castor oil.
 Nothing wrong at all, doctor" he replied, but we grease our big boots with it."-London Tit-Bits.

An Explanation.

A Buffalo man recently consulted a youthful physician in that city, and when the diagnosis had been made and the prescription written out, he asked what fee was expected.
 Three dollars" said the young medico.
 Whereupon the caller produced a ten-dollar gold piece, which he proffer- ed the doctor in payment of his fee
 The physician looked annoyed. Haven't you anything smaller?" he asked plaintively.
 Nothing smaller. except a two-dol- lar bill" said the patient.
 Then give me that" said the doc tor "If I take the ten-dollar gold piece 1 shall be out seven dollars. I have promised my wife that all gold shall be hers that 1 take in the way of fees"
