What a Horse Can DO.

He can travel 400 yarus In four and
one-half minutes at walk. 400 yards
in two minutes at a trot. 400 yards in
one minute at a gallop. The usual
work Of a horse is taken at 22.500
pounds raised one foot per minute for
eight hours per day. A horse will
carry 250 pounds twenty-five miles per
day of eight hours. An average draft
horse will draw 1900 pounds twenty
three miles per day on a level road.
weight of wagon included.
The average weight of horse is
1000 pounds; his strength Is equiva-
lent to that of five men. In a horse
mill moving at three feet per second,
track twenty-five feet in diameter, he
oxerts with the machine the power Of
four and one-half horses. The great
est weight a horse can pull in hori-
Eontal line is 900 pounds, but he can
do this only momentarily; in contin-
ued exertion probably half OF this is
the limit.
The horse attains his growth in five
years, will live twenty-five md aver
age sixteen years. He will live twen-
ty-five days on water without solid
food, seventeen days without eating
or drinking, but only five days on
food without drinking.

Eoyptlan Cure For sunstroke.

Travellers In Egypt must often have
noticed curious scars upon the fore
heads Of the natives, though perna p1
they have not discovered Its signifi-
canoe. 1t is a sign that the man who
bears 1t has had. or has fancied that
he had, sunstroke.
The formula for the malady is Curl
GUS and typical Eastern. The victim
must be laid full length upon the
ground and massaged from the feet
upward. The sunstroke is some form
of evil genius which must be squeezed
and forced into one spot. This the
massage accomplishes. When the
masseur has done his best to this end,
and assumes that the virus Of the
enemy Is all concentrated in the fore
head Of the patient. then the teeth OF
the operator are applied to the in
fected area, and a piece OF the flesh
Of the forehead bitten out.
The strange thing is that the treat
ment Is said to be invariably efflca-
cious. It may be faith cure, or 1t
may be that the sunstroke itself wan
lmaginary-the cure is sure.

FRANCES NATIONAL THEATRE.
After 226 Years Of Continuous Ex.

After 226 Years Of Continuous Ex.
istence itsls Poor but Proud.
The Comedie Franchise, the ma.
tional theatre of France, Is the oldest
institution of Its kind in the world
the Oldest, that Is. in continuous ex-
tstence.
1t was founded In 1850 by Moliere,
and is still, conducted according to the
rules he laid down. The number OF
associates, the division of pronts ac-
cording to talent, the internal go'e-n-
ment OF the society, had all been ad-
mirably regulated by the founder ii
house which is the glory Of FleIch
dramatic art.
On the national holiday, July IA,
and on certain other occasions, the
theatre gives performances at which
all the seats are free. People staAd
in line for hours awaiting the open
Ing Of the doors.
During the year the number of free
seats given away runs from 10000 to
10000, representing sum ranging
from $4,000 to S160,0OO. Besides
this, students of rhetoric and OF elocu-
ton. to the annual number of 2,O12,
assist gratuitously at the Thursday
matinees, it being considered great
pr,~ilege to receive this practical ex-
perience On the boards of the famous
theatre.
The Comedie receives a government
subvention, but its expenses have in
creased so much that it is always in
financial stress. Its actors and ac-
tresses put up with much smaller SAL
aries than they would receive any
where else. They do it partly for the
honor of belonging to the Comedie,
partly because it is life engagement;
for when they are finally retired they
receive pension.

Insurance on a RattIeshlp.

An insurance amounting 10 6 1,000,-
900 has been completed on the battle
ship Infexible. which is at present
under construction on the Clyde.
This policy covers the hull, ma
chinery, and boilers of the warship
for two years. but does not include the
guns, armament and equipment. All
the usual risks. including fire and
perils incidental to tho launch and
trial trip, are. however. fully covered:
and it is stipulated that should the
vcasei not be completed within the
specified time there shall be an ex-
tension at an extra premium.
The risk has been widely distribut-
cd among underwriters, but as It Is a
growing one, the full amount not at
taching until the vessel is ready for
sea, the rate Is comparatively low.

Molly's S Strategy.

son gayly, as she looked at the dole
full faces Of her younger brother and
her little sister, I'VE are going to
have lot Of fun to-day, and before
you know 1t it will be time for father
and mother to come back. First, ]

cine, Wesley, for mother said yon
must take 1t regularly all day to
break up your ague."
Molly went to little shelf In the
cellearway for the Qutnine. She felt
keenly the responsibility OF her po-
sition, for 1t was the first time in her
life that she had been left alone with
the children for q whole day. OF

Fish Flour.

One of Norway's chief industries Ia
by the fisheries, and guam
titles OF fish are sold at very low
ra,es. particularly during summer.
One way in which these are utilized Is
by means of an invention which quick
ly dries and pulverizes the flesh Of
fresh fish. The resulting product,
called fish -four. Is easy to transport
from one place to another and has
great nutritive value. A new and
profitable branch Of industry might be
established in America, by utilizing
fish in this way.

much safer when one's mother was
at home.
The Judsors lived a mile and a
half from the nearest village. In tho
opposite direction was great
swamp beyond which small band Of
Indians had settlement. The In
dams often passed the Judson house,
but rarely did one stop there. for
they all stood in awe Of Molly's
father, whom they called the big
Chief"
Molly carefully measured out the
white powder, dissolved it In a ia
blespoon OF water and brought 1t to
her brother. Wesley swallowed the
dose heroically though he made q
very wry face.
Now III read you story from
Pilgrims Progress. II you want me

"All right" Wesley leaned back
coDtentedly in his chair. "Just read
about the fights Pilgrim had. and
skip the other parts. please"
Faith brought her little rocking
chair up close to Molly. who began
to read the wonderful story.

Father says a drunken Indian is the
worst creature on earth. Aren't you
sorry you are girl, Molly?"
"Why?". asked Molly
Because you can't ever fight.
Girls can't ever conquer their enc
mics; they haven't got strength
enough"
Let's play Indian" continued
Wesley. "I'll be Scar Face and Faith
will be my squaw. Molly, you be a
white lady and we'll come to see you
AMI scare you most out of your
vi g."
"All right" agreed Molly.
The children left the room to pre-
pare for the game. When they came
back a marvellous change had taken
place. Wesley wrapped in q gor-
geous blanket, his head encircied by
! waving band of feathers, one cheek
IA hing with a fiery red scar OF
chalk, presented a frIghtful appear

drawn over her head, followed
meekly in his rear.
The fun began in good earnest.
Wesley acted his part with great
spirit, while Molly played the role OF
the frightened white lady to perfec.

Presently Wesley stepped to the
window to adjust his head-gear
which was slipping down over hlr
face.
"Oh, Molly" he gasped suddenly
turning around with terrified look

Molly gave one glance toward the
window and her face went white

A loud knock thrndered through

would burst. opened the door.
There stood Scar Face. ss the set
