Mrs. Harriet Chalmers Adams has
Just completed one of the most in
teresting trips yet taken by woman.
She spent the last three years in Wis
iting every country in South and
Central America, roing far into the
interior of some OF them. Much of
the time she was far outside the pale
of civilization, and in the mountains
of Peru she found Indian tribes
which are not in the least changed
from what they were in the days of
the Spanish conquest. She says that
these Indians are the remnants Of
the greatest race of American abo-
rigines and their ancestors built the
temples and did the various art
works which are still the wonder of
scientists.

THE COLOR OF HORSES.
why Generals and Circus Men Select
White Steeds.

Arabian horses are more apt to be
chestnut, sorfel or light bay than
gray. Generals and circus mep select
white horses because they are more
conspicuous than darker animals. II
is true that the Percheron heavy
horse is in some respects preferable
to the Shire and Clydesdale of Eng
land, because their feet are better
and they have springy walk.
This is due to the mixture OF Arab
ian blood away back, but the owner
of the Shire or Clyde will tell you
that the Percheron's knees are not
so reliable as those of the English
horse. There are about as many
black Percherons as there are gray.
If Joan of Arc rode milk-white
steed, she did It because he was old
and steady (no colts are white) or
because the white was in harmonious
accordance with her riding-habit. II
Is true that st. John saw white horses
in heaven. but he also saw red horses
and black horses and yellow horses
and one pale horse.
The biggest, finest and whitest
mules in the world are in Madrid; in
Vienna and Budapest the carriage
and coach horses are all big iron
grays, but the running horses are
generally sorrel or light bay with an
occasional black. In Berlin the coach
teams are bay or brown; in France
the carriage horses are bay and
brown
horses are gray. In England bay,
black and brown predominant, ex-
cept on the race-tracks, where they
are, as everywhere, mostly light bay,
sorrel or chestnut.
The late Queens great coach team
were eight gray creams with white
trimmings. In the army dark colors
are preferred for cavalry and artil-
lery, as they are easier groomed and
less conspicuous in battle. There is
no other so beautiful a carriage team
as white horses; the trouble, though,
is to mate them, as no young horses
are ever white.
Gray Eagle was for time the rage
in Kentucky, but Kentucky racehorse
men do not like gray any more. Old
Eclipse was a sorrel; so was Flying
Childers; so was Blair Athol. Nor
folk was a bay, Lodi a black, True
Blue "wine-colored" bay. Joe Dam
iels was, like Lexington, a pale bay.
Four well-matched bays make beau
tiful team, but one gray in a four
horse team is color misfit. The
hackneys are almost all bays. Colors
in horses are much a matter of fash
on.-Salt Lake City Telegram.

The merchants who think 1t smart
to use the folds of newspaper in

Advertising is subtle science, so
subtle, in fact, that by most OF the
people IL is regarded as more or less
OF game OF chance. This is mis-

properly done. You can make a fail

Bulb Farms of Marshland.

The vast industry hitherto asso-
ciated almost exclusively with Hol-
land is gaining foothold in Great
Britain that is promising for the ag-
ricultural depression there. II is said
that the climate of Holland is just
like the climate of England, only
worse
In the fen district of Lincolnshire
there are many acres of land devoted
to the growing of narcissi, and so
successful has the industry become
that several Dutch growers have paid
England the compliment of buying
their stock bulbs in that country,
while others are said to have con-
sidered seriously the advlsability of
purchasing land in Lincolnshire for
the growing of bulbs so as to COM
pete with the Englishman in his own

Senator Clark, of Wyoming, has the
following to say with regard to the ex

plated by the congress of the United
States and which detrimental and in ur-
ious to and almost destructive of the in
terests of many sections of our western
country. Who could have supposed
when, in 1891, congress authorized the
president of the United States by execu
tive proclamation to set aside forest
lands that within this brief time over
200, 900 square miles of land would be
set apart from settlement among the

these figures.
But if should say that within the
last few years there has been withdrawn
from settlement, from entry, from use
full occupation, from home making, a
tract of land substantially which, taking
n north and south line 200 miles through
the city of New York, would extend
west to the city of Chicago, a thousand
miles, am not over stating the amount
of land The bureau of forestry has
withdrawn from the useful service of
the people an amount of land which
would cover acre for acre the whole of
New England; add to New England the
state of New York, the magnificent
common ealth of Pennsylvania, the
splendid empire of Ohio and acre for
acre you have covered the lands with
drawn under this forestry policy. This
is an astounding statement.
"Then in some respects the recent
agricultural bill was the most wonder
full ever presented to congress, because,
in addition to the 1875, 900, 600 acres al
ready withdrawn, it proposed to with
draw 400, 900, 900 acres more and put
them under the charge of a single bu
reau chief This would give to one man
more power over men and property and
money than is now held by any indivd
ual king, prince, potentate or subject
in any civilized country on the face of
the earth This seems broad state
ment but it is true to the fact. This bill
proposed to take all the grazing lands of
the United States in the country where
the forest reserves are-the arid region
and, as stated by the chief of the bureau
Mr. Pinchot, to put them under his
charge to lease and let and permit upon
at his will and at his figures.
The bureau of forestry is now the
