What is a fair days work for q
horse?" is a frequent question and very
difficult to answer. The London bus
horse does lS miles a day at a rate OF
seven miles an hour in double harness
with a four-ton bus: a pair of post
horses used to do 26 miles with n one
ton coach at eight miles going and at
six returning.
II nave known the horses In the
heavy deer var OF II. M. ~Buckhounds
to do over so miles in a day" says a
writer In Country Life in America, but
they were never worked more than
twice a week. A good horse will trot
his 20 to 80 miles "a day for several
days c5Tsecutiveiy, bur annot keep 1t
up; he may do so miles in one day, but
then must have a rest the next.
Small horses, other things being
equal. stand more work and o
more quickly than big horses. Some
remarkable instances Of the powers OF
ponies are given in william Days book,
which records a run Of 107 miles In IA
hours by two boys on ponies and one
of 172 miles in 23h hours by a 12-hand
pony Qed), which beat the coach from

WEAKNESS, ooneT than country work.
Two horses worked we'll within their
powers will always prove more eco
nomical in h n than one that Is
habitually driven TO the utmost limit
OF his capacity.
There are. however, many cases
where from different causes one horse
represents what the schoolbOy called
the irreduclble maximum then the
animal par excellence to be bought is
the cob, though he will not be too easy
to find in this country, where the love
of fast t~rotters has dominated the ques-
ton OF general utility.
Yet the true cob, sturdy in build,
with plenty OF zone but enough blood
to keep him from being sluggish, is m
Of the most useful specimens of the
equine race. Well under Is hands, he
is easy to mount and sufficiently short
in his stride TO be a comfortable hack
for even elderly men, and he Is up to
quite a considerable weight; in harness
he is sprightly, quite fast enough for

OF draught.
In England, where he is as common
as he is rare here, he Is the m~ainstay
Of the small and the general drudge of
the large establishment, and Is usually
an ornament TO both. He should carry
head well, have undeniably good
shoulders, a short back and powerful \
quarters, being, in short, a big horse
in a small compass"

A Natural Error.
From LA Now York Trlhune.

From the New York Tribune.
A group OF aeronauts were telling bal
loon stories IN the smoking room of a
Chicago hotel. Captain H. E.. Honey
well, who, with the Fielding-AntOnio
balloon. was later TO win renown,
laughed and said:
THE great Elyot made a balloon
ascent from Charleston one hot sum-
mer afternoon. A thunder storm came
up. Elyot, amid buckets of rain, the
roar of thunder and the fash of light
ming, was blown about like thistle
down. On toward midnight he found
himself over a plantation and threw
out his anchor-a grapnel at the end
of a long rope.
ut happened that a colored man had
died in one of the nuts of this planta-
ton. The funeral was to take place in
the morning. A dozen friends of the
dead man sat in the soft summer night
before the hut. telling ghost steries
suddenly, in the darkness above
them they heard strange noises-a flap
ping as of great wings, m%enacing cries.
And they saw dimly a formless black
shape.
"All but m man ran. This old man.
as he covered on his stool, had the IN
luck to be seized by the grapnel.

four centuries. Between the oblitera-

completely than Poland ever has. The
