Belgian Economy.

Several Belgian cavalry officers
were sent to a horse fair at Ciney, in
the Ardennes, to buy ten horses at a
cost of not more than A pounds each.
They found nine horses the price of
which was within the limit but for
the tenth 46 pounds was demanded.
The officers thereupon sent a tele-
gram to the Belgian war Office asking
whether they should buy this horse
and pointing out that If they did not
buy 1t they would have to go to the
next fair and the expenses for the adj
ditional journey would amount to 20
pounds. The war office replied. Com
ply with your instructions" AS a re-
suit they had to go to the next fair
and 20 pounds was spent to save
pounds.-Brussels Petit Bleu.
