RESERVE HORSES FOR WAR.
S%itZeriand's Remarkable Method OF
Preparing For Rapid Mobilizs-
ton Of Her Troops.

La Switzerland the state is part OVID
- Of horses used Dy reserves 1t pur-
ehases a remount at three and a half
years old. and the soldier pays half
the cost OF the horse to the govern
ment. together with the difference be-
tween its cost and the price that the
horse fetches at auction. for all horses
are sold by auction to the men.
After every year Of training the gov
erument refunds one-tenth of the orig.
inal half cost to the man. and at the
end Of ten years the horse becomes
the absolute property Of the soldier.
In this manner the soldier is not only
always well mounted. but as be keeps
his horse with him at his home his
mobilization problem is Of the simplest
nature.
The average price Of these Swiss
troop horses is about E45, says BaiIy's
Magazine, and as most OF these horses
are imported from Ireland and north
Germany their price is considerably
higher than Ii would be In Great Brit
ain Thus the state secures the serv-
Ices OF q horse for an annual outlay
Of about "a los. But there are certain
other expenses which must be includ-
ed In this estimate, such as the cost of
the establishment for remOunt depots,
etc. which raises the total cost Of
horses for the Swiss government 30

They Are Marrow and Crooked and
Edged With Ditehss.
The Chinese road is private prop
erty. q strip taken from somebody's
hand. This is done much against the
will OF the owner, since he not only
loses the use Of IL, but also still has to
pay taxes on It.
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle. and carts
can pass one another only by tTespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
shis the farmers dig deep bitches By
the roadside AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows on 1t gradu-
ally grows lower, and after awhile it
becomes q drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hOllows 1t
out, and thus has arisen the proverb
that a road q thousand years old be-
comes a river.
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge OF their
farms instead Of cutting across them,
and this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often so crooked
that one may have to go a considerable
distance to reach place that is In re-
atty but a few miles away. This al
gays interests the stranger.

A Story Of Heinrich Hsins and q

Returning from a journey to the
south Of France. Heinrich Heine met =
friend, a German viOlinist, in Lyons,
who gave him 4 large sausage that
had been made in Lyons with the
request to deliver 1t 70 a mutual ac-
quaintance, q homeopathic physician.
In Paris. Heine promised to attend
to the commission and intruBted the
delicacy to the care Of his wife. who
was travelling with him. But as the
postchaise was very slow and he
soon became very hungry, on the ad-
vice of his wife both tasted OF the
sausage, which dwindled with every
mile.
Arriving at Paris, Heine did not
dare TO send the remainder to the
physician, and yet he wished to keep
his promise. So he cut OF The thin
nest possible slice with his razor.

SION OF A PONY.
And Though It Wasn't Very Elegant
Animal and the Carriage Mas
RIckety, Little Girl Was De-
lighted.

IF | only had a pony" began the
little girl. Then she stopped. That
pony had been the subject Of her
dreams and her waking thought for
weeks. II had become SO much of an
aIl-absorbing subject that 1t had been
frowned upon in the family circle, but
suppression only made it more impor-
tant
"If | only had a pony"
The little girl had planned It all
out. She had told father and mother
the plans. Father had looked troub-
led and mother had seemed sorry.
The little girl couldn't understand
this, for to every little girl father al
ways has money, for he has means Of
earning it that little girls lack
Some day." father had said, and
on this foundation the little girl had
built the dreams and the plans. It
was all arranged. There was a nice
shed to keep the pony in, and she
had gathered grass and put It in a
soap box in the stall in case the pony
should come.
She would drive to the Office for
father every day of the world, and
when mother wanted something from
the grocery In a hurry all she would
have to do would be to jump on the
pony or get into the little cart that
comes with all ponies and get It in
no time.
How the other little girls would
envy her as she drove past! Some
Of them she would let ride with her,
but some Of them-no, they were
mean and shouldn't even come near
the pony.
Mother told father all these things
at night, and father would do sums in
mental arithmetic in the dark and
postpone the solution to another time.
for all sums cannot be worked out
right away
Then mother took hand.
John" she said, cant we get some
kind of a pony for her? Anything
will do. She don't need a fancy pony
and cart or anything Ike that-just
something she can drive" Father
said he would see.
And a few days later he drove home
behind a small and very tame appear
i ing animal that might have been
called a horse by courtesy. The
buggy was old and rusty, but a coat
of paint would settle that, and 1t
would look fine.
"My pony!" said the little girl. That
was all She could say nothing more
for at least an hour, not even when
she was taken up to the buggy and al
/ lowed to drive all by herself.
"It cost only s2O," father told moth
er when they were together that
night, "and the buggy is about TO fall
to pieces, but she will have Just as
much fun out of 1t"
You're a dear boy" said mother
"Nonsense!" said father, grufhy
''She had to have it."-CalVestoI

Wonder of Mechanism

II was. we are told. in 1909 that the

placed In the tower Of San Eustorgio.
In Milan.
TIE greatest astonishment and sd

who nOcked to see the dmepiece In
1874 a clock was installed In the pal
ace Of the mobiles at Padua This was
wonder Of mechanism indeed. for
besides indicating the hours it showed
the course OF the sun, the revolutions
Of the planets. the various phases of
the moon, the months and the fetes
OF the year.
The period of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was seventy-One
years-not so very long. all things con
sidered-and the record Of the 6rss
watch is 1880. A half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
This, we are told. was looked upon
by the people OF that age as ''un In
strument prOdigieux."
The fortunate pOssessor OF this clock
was Andrea AlciatO, a councillor Of
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded a
bell at a stated hour. and at the same
time a little wax candle was lighted
automatically. How this was done we
are not told, but II must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means OF obtaining a

Old Time English Elections.

In old time England each cOnstitu-
ency gave its representative in parlia-
ment a horse TO carry him to West
minister and also paid his expenses on
the road. These expenses, together
with an allowance for each day spent
on duty at the house Of commons, gen.
orally at the rate OF so cents a day,
were refunded In one lump sum when
the member returned home at the end
Of the parliamentary year. Sir f. De-
laval totaled seven votes in an attempt
on Andover in the general election of
1853. An item in his election agents
bill is typical of the reckoning he had
TO pay: ITO being thrown out OF the
George inn, Andover, to my legs being
thereby broken. to sugeOn's bill and
loss Of time and business, al in the
service Of Sir II. Delaval. E50O." Lord
LANDAU won DungUrvan in 1868. The
item "E547 whisky" caused him to
protest family. "Begorra," said his
election agent, ''if We want to squeeze
