Judaina the Colt.

The Arabs have two methods of esti
mating the height to which colt viii
grow. the first being tn stretch u cord
from the nuStril over the ears and
down along the neck and compare this
measurement with that from the with
ers 10 the feet and the other method
being to compare the distance between
the knee and the withers with that
from the knee tQ the coronet. In the
first method II is considered that .
colt will grow as much taller as the
irst measurement exceeds tha; of the
second and IN the second method. u
the proportion rs as two to one. the
horse will grow no taller.

ARROGANT E2lnDUHGH.

In Scotch History.

Built over series of ridges and val
eys. it would be impossible to imag-
inc anything more grandly arrogant
than Edinburgh Originally the place
consisted only of the huge fortress on
the castle rock, built there by Edwin
Of Northumbria. and hence known MS
Edwin's Burgh. But gradually there
grew up Il long struggling town, Il
mile or so in length, that wendcd along
the rocky saddle backed ridge which
was the only approach to the castle
entrance.
In the twelfth century Holyrood pal
ice was built at the foot of this long
street.. which has been variOuSly known
IN history as 1.-THE Royal Mile" and 'the
Cockpit Of Scotland" In the vernaCu-
ar of tile town during the middle ages
though. it was always referred to as
the Causeway."

FIRE DANGER AT SEA.
How Flames Can Sweep the Inside Of

No one who has not been aboard the
Spanish wrecks at Santiago can con
ceive how fire can sweep the inside OF
even metal ship. Admiral Cervera
described TO me the experience on
board the Teresa in these words: "rhe
second shot that came on board set It's
on fire. The fire main was damaged
Soon we were unable to cope with the
fire 1t swept through her from bow
to stern There was not a space as bic
as the palm of your hand where life
could have been sustained. An insect
could not have lived on board. We had
to get overheard or be burned"
1t is true the Spaniards had not cut
out their woodwork and thrown over
board all unnecessary inflammables, as
we had I'm the American fleet. but the
in6ammability of one of their war
ships was much less than that of a

STEALING A RAILROAD.
Not In a Financial Way, but by Carry
ina It Off Bodily.


No stranger theft was ever commit
ted than the lifting" Of an entire
railroad. twelve and one-half miles In
length, which once connected Birr and
Portumna, in ireland.
The line had cost $i50,0O0. and for
years 1t did service for thee Great
Southern and Western Railway com
pany until the year 1876. when the
company. which had been running II
at n loss. washed its hands OF It. The
line was derelict. Nobody wanted 1t.
For n few years It stretched its use
less length through north Tipperary.
Then it's ueiya bors began To turn GOV
etous eyes on It.
Bolts and screws and other portable
trines began to vanish. A few prose
cutions were instituted. but the
charges were withdrawn. Nobody
seemed to care. The thieves, thus on
couraged grew bolder. Farmers
brought their carts and horses and
loaded them with spoils of rails, sleep
ers switches and semaphores. One
goodly station vanished. TO its last
brick and door, in a single night.
They were great times for Tiprer
ary Boatluads of booty, hundreds OF
tons of rails. were sent away from
Portumna by unlicensed "%Nntractors,
and the work of spoliation went on
until not as much IA tuPntable was

Why those headaches
Why should you not read more than
few minutes without discomfort
Why should your eyes give you trouble
Because 1t is proof Of severe eye strain.
The only right way to relieve that strain
is to remove the cause. Many people have
been relieved OF persistent headaches by
having their eyes correctly examined and
fitted with suitable glasses.
An examination Of your eyes by our Re-
gistered Optometrist, Mr.. III, Prest, will
tell whether strain is the probable cause Of
your Headaches II you do not need glasses

snake man usually has one or two
long but harmless snakes which he
allows To twine about his neck and
body. He does not allow himself 10

he succeeds I'm grasping the back OF
