horse had almost outlived it's useful
ness and soon would be practically eX-
tinct. But, according to the Harness
World, there are today more than
twice as many horses in the United
States as there were in 1900, the very
year that the motor-driven vehicle be.
gan to demonstrate it's independence
of the horse.
According to the latest statistics
there are more than 100000 horses
one horse to every three individuals
in the United States. Their total val.
uation, in round figures, is three bill
lion dollars. In 1900 there were A.
000,0 900 horses in this country, with
an average value of $4461 each, a
total valuation of 1925 100000 In 1909
there were 100000 horses, average
value 1854 each.
1t is interesting to note that the
horse makes and maintains the mar
ket for nearly all the oat crop, worth
1884, 100000, most of the hay crop,
worth $743,000,000, and a. large part
of the corn crop, worth 1881, 900, 900.
If we also consider the horse equip
ments-carriages wagons, harness,
clothing, saddles, brides, shoes and
bits, private stables, blacksmith
shops and horse repositories, it will
be readily understood that the horse
creates business interests ranking
with the railroads and agriculture and
other colossal affairs of the country.

gloomy inded. Much has been written
at one time and another regarding the
ability of the white man to live in the
tropics and to retain his bodily and
mental vigor. The consensus of opin-
ion, as pointed out by the Medical Rec

but that after time he will surely de-

exceptions, the peers either in body

Prof Lyde not only insists that the
white man cannot live in health in
tropical countries, but he also pro-
fesses to believe that the white man
is doomed tn vanish from the face of
the earth, giving way to the colored
races. The English professor bases
his belief on the theory that the orig

Strengthening of the pigment under
different climatic conditions.
Taking ordinary precautions, it may
be possible for the white man, after
two years of aeclimatization, to live in
the tropics even more immune from
tropical diseases than the black But
this period of immunity lasts for only
about seven years, after which the

of the tropics by white men is impos.

FUNERAL WOULD COST MORE
Reason Why Farmer Agreed to Pay
Big Fee to Elderly Physician
With Established Record.

A medico tells of two physicians in
a certain town, the one elderly, with
long record of cures, the other young,
with his record still to make. The
older doctor, it appears, was inclined
to surrender some of his night work
to the younger man.
One bitter night in winter the vet
eran was aroused by two farmers from
a hamlet eight miles away, the wife
of one Of whom was seriously ill., The
doctor at once referred them to his
young colleague; but they refused the
latter's services.
Very WELL" replied the doctor,
thinking to put convincing argument
before them. in that case my fee ia

one of the men asked the other:

do?"

two guineas," said the other. "The fu.
neral would cost you more" -Tit-Bits.

father and son had lived to themselves
on their farm, allowing the presence
of no woman there, working hard and
leading miserly existence. In the
Kansas language they "bached."
Shortly after his fathers death

said that he would like to marry, but
any girl who would marry him would
not do so from motives of love but to
gain his property He told Lowman
that the only woman he would marry
with a feeling of security that was
not after his money was Seattle Bush,
negro girl of good reputation. He
often remarked to Lowman that re-
CARELESS of color Miss Bush would
make an industrious man good wife.
Such unions are within the Kansas
law, though not looked on with favor.
The Bushes were tenants on the
Davis farm and for weeks at time
Jimpsey made his home with them.
Mrs. Bush took an interest in limp

his socks mended and his clothes re-
paired. No woman had ever taken an
interest in "Jimpsey' before, and
naturally he wanted to confide in her.

sterln." Oddly enough, the new laws
were enacted to aid in suppressing
the foot-and-mouth disease, which is
affecting animals in the upper prov
inces. The disease has spread in
spite of all precautions.
Some time ago medical man ex.
pressed the opinion that the microbe
of the disease was distributed by hui
man agency. Stop the counting in
the ancient way and the disease will
not be carried from farm to farm" he
said. The authorities Immediately
sent orders to police and constables to
put a stop to "Fensterln."
From immemoriai past the country
folk have made love with "Fensterln,"
which is form OF serenading both ro-
mantle and picturesque. After the
days toll the love-sick young peasant
throws off his smock and farm boots
and arrays himself in his best clothes,
and after nightfsll slips away to the
farm where the rosy-cheeked maid of
his affection lives. There, standing
beneath her bedroom window, he
sings old folk tunes. The girls par
ents sit behind closed shutters. They
understand it. If the girl is favorably
inclined toward the rustic serenader
she appears at the easement and al
lows the swain to kiss her hand. That
constitutes the first and most impor-
tant stage of their engagement. The
others are more formal.

The sawdust is first subjected to a
process of fermentation and various
chemical manipulations. Finally it is
mixed with one-third part of rye
-four, formed into loaves and baked
in ovens like any other bread.
Although this new pain de bois,"
as the French call it, is meant for
consumption by horses only, claim is
made by the manufacturers that in
case of famine it would furnish nu-
tritious and highly satisfactory food
for human beings.
Sawdust bread may not taste so
bad as it sounds. In various parts of
the world bread is obtained from
trees. For example, in the Molucca
islands the starchy pith of the sage
palm furnishes white, fioury meal,
which is made into fat oblong loaves
and baked in curious little ovens d.
vided into small oblong cells just big
enough to receive the loaves.
In Lapland the inner bark of pine
trees, we'll ground and mixed with
oat flour, is made into cakes, which
are cooked in a pan over the fire. In
Kamchatka pine bark and birch bark
are used for bread without the addi-
ton of any other substance, being re-
duced to powder by pounding, made
into loaves and baked.
Along the Columbia river bread is
made from kind OF moss that grows
On species of fir trees. After being
dried it is sprinkled with water, al
lowed to ferment, rolled into balls as
big as mans head and baked in pits,
with the help of hot stones. Travel
ers who have tasted it say that it is
by no means unpalatable.
The Californian Indians collect the
pollen of cattails in large quantities
by beating it of the plants and catch.
ing it on blankets. They make bread
of it. But as a delicacy they prefer
bread of grasshopper flour.
