One Of the most remarkable accom-
clishments In long distance horseback
riding was In the early part Of h last
century when Squire Obaldistone. at
Newmarket (England), on a wager OF
$1,000, was to ride 200 miles within 10
hours. The horses were changed at the
end Of the four-mile circuit. some Of
them being ridden two or three times.
and one, Franby, was brought out for
q fourth mount. Tie squire had to
mount and remount each horse from
the ground, not using a mounting block,
20 losing time and taking more strain.
In spite Of this and the ground not be-
Ing in good condition, the 200 miles were
covered In eight hours and 80 minutes.
About 30 horses were ridden.

Ten or IL million bushels Of Cana
alan barley were annually exported to
the United States until 1890, but the
Mckinley tariff, by increasing the duty
from 10 cents to 80 cents a bushel, cut
pf this trade Immediately. In 1908 the
United States bought only 100000
bushels Of barley in the Dominion.
Similarly, Canada sent from II to 15
million dozen of eggs annually to the
republic, but the imposition Of q duty
OF s cents q dozen destroyed the United
States market for the Canadian egg
dealer. In 1889 the export Of Canadian
eggs to the United States totaled
ll,011,017 dozens; in 1908 only 2,30s
dozens were sent.

thur Bruhn and wife, according to the
decision of the department of COM
merce and labor at Washington, will
have to return to their native land

not a citizen of the United States and

come a charge of the state. The de-
partment at Washington vas appealed
to and an examination by a special
agent from Minneapolis resulted in the
decision to send him back to his old
country home. The government will

ment, the steamship companies will
