lcELANDIc FORM OF PEDIGREE.
Simple But Effective Manner of Keep
ing the Record.

The inhabitants of Iceland have kept
their pedigrees in a Jealous way. Num-
bers of them can trace their descent
from the Vikings who emigrated from
Norway to Iceland in the ninth cen
tury. Unlike many other countries,
there have never been really any no.
bles in this island, the nation having
ever been republic in spirit Conse-
quent upon the smallness of the popu-
lation there has been considerable
amount Of inbreeding, and all Iceland
ers seem to be cousins. There is an
old Icelandic adage which translated
irto English reads: Cousins are worst
10 cousins" The most curious clrcum-
stance in this connection is that there
are scarcely any surnames, as known
OIL the American continent. AS a dis
t'nctive mark an Icelander places his
fathers Christian name after his own
Christian name, adding to the former
sson," which signifies 'the son Of"
and this is continued from generation
to generation. An Icelandic pedigree
reads as follows: Thorstein AS
giersson, Sigurd Thorsteinsson, Einar
Sigurdsson, Baldur EinarssoD, Thor.
stein Baldursson, Hafstein Thor
steinsson, and SO on.

TREATED As A GOOD FRIEND
intimate Association Between the Arab
and His Horse.

1t Is most interesting to note the
way the Arab treats his faithful
friends. So Injured, indeed, is the
Arab pony by long usage and descent
to the manner of life in the desert
that even my own pony positively i'm
proved on the treatment and never
saw him so fit as when he came back
from the trip.
If the Arab and his horse are by
legend closely allied. they are in
point Of fact even more intimately
connected. His mount is his first
thought, and at all times by far the
most interesting topic of conversation.
He Is ungroomed, unclipped, unhal-
tered, for the Arab prefers to shackle
him by means of two ropes. short
cord connecting the fore and hind fet-
locks and long line lettering him
above the hind fetlock to peg in the
ground. Thus he can move about or
roll at leisure, and should there be
any rough herbage at hand can for
age for it. Perhaps one OF the prnci-
pal reasons why the Arab so excels at
long journeys is that the never worri J
himself nor does he ever distress his
mount unless there is real cause to
do so. He simply continues steady
walk all day and hardly ever gallols
in the wild way in which one so often
sees them depicted by artists.

CONTEST BETWEEN HUMAN HOGS
Three Fat Men Get Away with 675
Oysters and % Pounds of Steak.

Three members of the Manhattan
Fat Mems club who are in training
for the forthcoming annual champion
ship eating contest met at 244 East
Third street to settle a private wager
of $50 as to which of the trio could
get outside of the most food, the New
York World says. Here is what they
consumed:
Ex-Alderman Frank j. Dotzier, who
weighs $50 pounds, 275 oysters, Sb
pounds of steak, IL rolls, II cups OF
coffee, three large pies.
Jack Gossman, who weighs 315
pounds, 210 oysters, six pounds of
steak, nine rolls, ten cups of coffee,
three large pies.
Jack Probst, who weighs 800
pounds, 100 oysters, 12 pounds OF
steak, ten rolls, six cups of coffee, four
pies.
Peter Balvado, the referee, awarded
the $50 to Dotzier, who had hard work
pushing the money into his vest
pocket.
A dozen other members of the club
who were present as watchers, got so
interested in the contest that their
mouths opened and shut automatical
ly, as the trio ate. Finally they all
began to howl for some food for them
selves
Its all gone" said Balvado With
loud cries the II rushed out to a res
taurant.

eanarene of Caste in India.

Those who have not lived in India
nor have made a special study of its
unique conditions can hardly under
stand the differences and hatreds that
exist among the different peoples. Be-
tween the Mussulman and the Hindu.
the Punjabi and the Bengali, the Sikh
and the Brahmin, and between many
of the smaller divisions of religion.
race and caste there is no such thing
as cohesion or cooperation; and if,
to small degree. the rigid lines of
caste have been broken down here and
there so that labor and commerce un-
der modern conditions have been
made possible it is due in no small de-
gree to the efforts of Great Britain.

Ways Of Raising Money for Charity.

From times immemorial In China, a
