MARE ~ YEARS OLD.
Saved Her Master at Magenta, Sank TO the
Shafts OF a Cab. but DIED Happy.

shafts OF q Cab. Dut DieC HAPPY.
An inquiry as to the limit Of age Of horses
is reported in a German farm Journal by
DR.. Norner-B arensburg, who has collected
information far and wide on the subject.
According to his conclusions thirty years
would seem TO be the equine equivalent for
the human three score years and ten
II is a good old age for horses. but many
reach it and not a few surpass 1t.
The Oldest horse of which he could learn
any definite facts was a roam mare bred
in the Government stock farm in Hungary,
and she was at least IS years old when she
died. In 1882 she WAS assigned 10 Lieut..
Theodore Won Leyss Of Lemburg, serving in
the Fifth Regiment Of Uhlans. In the next
year horse and rider were transferred 10 the
Twelfth Regiment. and in 1859 they made
tn e entire Italian campaign together. AT
the battle Of Magenta the Lieutenant was
cut on from his regiment by a body Of
French troops. His brave mare carried
him TO safety by an extraordinary leap
over a stone wall.
In 1893 Won Leyss got into financial diff
culties and in the following year he was
obliged 10 part with his mare to a comrade
who used her as road horse until 1865, when
she passed into the stable of a Major Of
infantry. With him it is believed she made
the campaign Of 1885. Then Won Leyss,
who furnished the facts TO DR.. N6rner-
Barensburg. lost sight of her until 1873,
when he found her. alas. serving as a cab
horse in Vienna. He kept his eye on her
after that and in 1882 she had sunk to draw-
ing a delivery wagon for a manufacturer
Of paper boxes. Von Leyss by this time
was In better, circumstance and he bought
back his old friend and comrade TO take care
Of her until her death.
This took place in 1892. when she was
fully IS years old, according TO the stock
farm record. Down TO the end she was
employed daily at light work. She was a
we'll set I'D animal with unusually clean
cut, graceful build and limbs. Two DAYS
before her death she refused feed for the
first time in her life. Her skeleton Is now
set up in the veterinary college in Vienna.
The great age she reached 4 is all the more
remarkable when her military experiences, |
including the hardships Of two campaigns,
are considered. Her hiogrnpher consid-
ers her career as establishing the advantage
Of allowing horses TO become fully matured
before they are put to work. No horse
set TO work while green. he thinks, could
possibly have zone through so much and
ived TO such an age.

WHY NOT THE HIMALAYAS?
A Trip TO the Mountains Which India's ov.

A Trip to the Mountains Which India's Gov.
eminent Tries TO Make Easy.
Many Europeans living in India visit the
Himalaya Mountains. The number OF tour
lists from Europe who seek this far distant
region is also increasing every year.
The few points from which the peak OF
Everest, the highest OF mountains, may
be seen are the most frequented. 1t has
been found that tourists annot comfort
ably lodge in tents on account Of the eli
mate and the prevalence Of wild animals,
and go the Indian Government Il ende4vor-
ing TO enhance the comfort n conven-
fence Of travellers by the erection Of large
bungalows.
The main route TO the mountains from
Darjiling can be covered comfortably in
eight days. At frequent intervals along
the road the Government has erected in
expensive buildings containing from six
TO ten rooms and provided with two or
three bedsteads, chairs, a table and a lava
tory.
Travellers must bring their own coverings,
lights and provisions. A kitchen stands
near the bungalow in which the meals may
be prepared.
During the tourist season the men hired
to take care OF these cabins have fowls,
potatoes, bread and other God which they
sell at prices fixed by the Government.
No party is permitted to remain more than
twenty-four hours in one bungalow and
the price OF a nights s~ojourn is only a
rupee, or about fifty cents. Travellers OF
course ave to hire coolies to carry their
luggage and usually native cooks and SER
wants, and they are also required at the
bungalows to cut the wood for the fuel
they need In cooking.
A practice which resulted in much damage
has recently been forbidden, When the
time came to prepare a meal the coolies
would dig a trough In the earth for their
fire, over which they would cook in the open
air. The meal ended, the dishes were
ashed and packed and the caravan went
IN it's way.
No one seemed to think it necessary to
~extinguish the fire, and this negligence re-
suited in the burning OF large areas OF
forest. In view OF this loes the Government
has prohibited the preparation OF meals in
this manner, but at many places between
the bungalowsit has quilt cook houses with
stone floors, in the centre OF which lie a
hearth, quite rudimentery but hke those
A rustic table stands near by and on one
of the posts that support the roof Is a sign
in Hindustani and English asking tourists
to cook only upon the hearth and 20 eX-
tinguish the fire before they depart. Wood
is Kept at these oook houses FOR the free
use OF the travellers. Five or six Of these
cooking huts are placed under the care OF
one forest guard. who visits them q day
and repleniahes the supply Of wood.
This Innovation has had excellent results.
The public has followed the instructions Of
the Government, the natives have not
stolen the fuel and no forest fires ave as
yet started near the cabins.

HOW TO KILL THE sLUGs.
On Cherry, Plum and Pear Trees and
Upon Rose Bushes.

The so-called slugs that skeletonize
the leaves of the above-named plants
during the summer are all compara-
lively easy to destroy.
AS the slugs devour the surface
tissues of the leaves in each case,
they may be killed by a thorough ap-
plication of any of the arsenical poi-
sons, such as Paris green, London
purple, or arsenate of lead. Upon
low plants, it is equally as well to
mix the dry poisons in twenty
times thhir own weight of common
-four and then dust them upon the
plants through a cheesecloth sack
held in the hand
In case of the fruits, especially
cherries, where 1t is not safe to use
the above poisons, white hellebore
powder may be used instead. II an
piled as a spray, put 3 ounces of the
powder in one gallon of water: as n
dust, 1t may be used without dilution
in a cheesecloth sack and a light an
plication made. The best time to an
ply the hellebore is towards evening
The slugs can be removed from
cherry, pear and plum trees by thor
oughly sitting fine road dust. or
freshly Stacked lime over the foliage
in the middle of warm day, when
the slugs are upon the upper side of
the leaves.
Begin in time be thorough. and do
not let the slugs destroy your trees

THE SOCIETY REPORTER
AT THE BIG FIRE

The regular reporter was taking n
vacation and the editor was busy in
the office. so when it was learned
that on the previous evening there
had been a fire in n remote part of
the city the young woman who writes
the society news was sent to bring
in 2 report of it for the paper. She
came into the office an hour later
with the following interesting ac-
count:
quite a number of people in this
part of the city attended a fire last
night at tne residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Blank in Thirteenth street
Some went in carriages and buggios
but a majority walked. The alarm
was sounded about $50, and many
Who attended the fire had just re-
turned from church.e. consequently
they were already dressed for the oc-
casion.
"Mr. Blank was not at home, be-
ing out of the city on business,
hence the affair will be quite a sur-
prise to him when he returns. Mrs.
Blank wore a light percale kimono
and had her hair done up in kid
curriers'.
The flremen responded readily
and worked heroically to subdue the
seethjng flames. Most of them were
young and fairly good looking.
They were dressed in oilcloth coats,
cut short, with trouseds to match
Their hat rims were narrow in front
and broad behind. and sagged in the
rear. The chiefs hat was ornament
ed with an octagonal brass spike,
Which stuck up above his head like
a horn, giving him the appearance Of
. unicorn.
when the flames broke cut
through the second story and cast n
lurid hue over the surrounding
buildings, the view was one never To
he forgotten. At late hour tie
sishtseers went home, and all felt
that they had passed an evening full
Of interest and excitement."- Ne

CANNING FACTORIES IN COLO
RADIO.

A large number of small factories
may be worth more to a state than
one or two great establishments, and
hence the people may well feel an in
terest in the erection of many small
factories of one kind or another. to
utilize the product of fields and orch
ards, some of which may not be sala-
BILE for any other use.
Canning factories do not require
the investment of very large amounts
of money, but established in the
midst of agricultural communities
they may furnish a market for a
large yield of vegetables to be pre-
served and shipped to distant places.
The climate of this state is SO well
adapted to the production of high
grade vegetables of certain kinds
that Colorado canneries can find sale
for all they produce.
What is true of vegetables is
equally true of both small and orch
ard fruits. Sometimes much fruit is
lost because it becomes too ripe for
shipment, but it may be available in
some form in a canning factory. In
this way the grower may be saved
from heavy loss while the factory is
supplied with the material it needs
Everything of this kind tends to-
W diu
in the value of the yield per acre.
1t means also a larger population per
square mile, larger and more pros
porous towns and villages, and more
wealth in every community in which
such industries are established.
Under irrigated agriculture it is
practicable to utilize every acre to
which water can be applied, and at
the same time the conditions under
which that kind of farming may best
be carried on demand that the larg-
est practicable returns be secured.
Hence farmers turn to crops which
yield big value per acre, recogpiz-
ing that 1t is better to get the same
amount of money from a few acres
than from many. Small farms, for
this reason and also because the land
is very valuable, are the rule in an
irrigated country peopled to any
thing like its capacity.
The need of intense cultivation
under irrigation tends to produce the
kind Of crops that supply the vege-
tables and other products most fre-
Guently consumed in canning facto-
ries, and thus canning fruit and veg
etables is an industry which fits di-
rectly in with irrigated agriculture
under its most favorable conditions
We may look for an extensive devei-
opr1ent along these lines in several
different parts of the state.-Denver
