The Rack, Pace and Ambl..

The rack is a gait of the horse be-
tween a trot and a gallop or canter. In
which the fore feet move as in slow
gallop, while the bind feet move as in
trot or pace. Ii is usually an artifi.
cial gait but Is sometimes hereditary
or natural. There is much confusion
of terms in respect to this gait. due to
the fact that the gait itself is some
what varied. according as the racker
carries the one or the other fore foot
foremost in the galloping motion of the
fore feet; that many confound the rack
with the pace, the words often being
used anonymously. and that many
have mistaken the use of the words
pace" and "ambe." There is abun-
dant evidence that the American pace
of today is the amble Of Europeans Of
the last century and earlier. The mo.
tiOn Of the hind feet is the same in the
trot. the pace and the rack. In the
trot the diagonal hind and fore feet
move nearly simultaneously. In the
pace or amble the hind and fore feet
of the same side move nearly simulta
neously.-BOston Globe.

HORSEBACK RIDING.
II is Sport and an Exercise In Class
by Itself.

It Is Sport and an Exercise In Class
by Itself.
When Oliver Wendell Holmes pro-
claimed the trotter the coming horse
and the steed of democratic useful
ness, he did not foresee the invention
of the automobile. Small blame to
him. No one else dreamed of it for
some scores of years thereafter, but
the motor driven carriage has caused
the learned doctors plausible prophecy
to go askew. BY all present signs the
coming horse. or. rather, the lasting
horse, the one which will survive any
amount of mechanical aids to locoIho-
ton. is the good saddle animal.
Horseback riding is at once a sport
and an exercise. which is without
relative or a competitor. 1t is like
nothing else, and for one who loves it,
it can be replaced by nothing else. 1t
is one of the finest aids to digestion
ever known. The dctum of the old
English physician. The outside of
horse is the best thing for the insides
of man." remains true.
With all these advantages the saddle
horse is likely to last till we degenerate
into nation of button pushers. When
that degradation is accomplished It
won't matter greatly whether we have
any desirable animal companionship or
not--Chicago Journal

Ceremonial Citron.

A valuable and somewhat curious
variety OF citron Is cultivated along
the shores OF Albania, western Eu-
ropean Turkey. II is known as the
"casenia" or "esrog" Hebrew). 1t
is a small citron, weighing not more
than twenty five drains. Just large
enough to be held in the hand, and is
thus used in the religious ritual by the
Jews all over the world during the
celebration OF their feast Of taber
nacles. Such citrons, If sufficiently
small. without blemish and possessing
somewhat extended nozzles. are valued
at from 81 TO $40 each These citrons
are mostly exported from Parga. Tur
key. and not from Corfu. as is gener.
ally supposed A few are said to grow
near Diakovto. Greece.

Home of thu Huns

The Huns have probably their near
est actual European descendants in
the Bulgarians. 1t is a mistake to
look for them in Hungary. The Ogre
or Ungri, better known as the Mag
yars. have very little to do with the
Huns. But one conjectured deriva-
ton of the word "ogre" is from the
Ugri, through confusion of them with
the Huns. 1t seems more probable.
however. that "ogre" should be traced
through Spanish and Italian to the
Latin Orcus-at first the god of the
dead. and afterward in Romanesque
folklore shaggy. man eating monster

Sugar Beet
Growers Wanted

Do we want a beet sugar factory
in the Rogue River Valley? Presi-

Club has been named on the general
committee to ascertain who will grow
sugar beets in and around Ashland,
and asks those who will to leave
name and number of acres they will
agree to plant and cultivate at the
Commercial Club office. You can
telephone this information in if you
desire. Another mass meeting will
be held soon at which the matter will
be definitely decided. If 5000 acres
in the Rogue River Valley can be
pledged to the culture of the beet we
will get the factory.

with all smoke and burnt grease smell

ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants of Mex
leo Used Process in the Manu-
facture of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry c. Mercer
Of Daylestown, Pa, that the ancient
inhabitants of Mexico used a glazing
process in the manufacture of their
pottery has reVolutionized the views
Of ceramic experts at the University
Of Pennsylvania, and may lead, says
American Art News, to the discovery
Of beds OF clay suitable for use today.
Mr. Mercer, who is an expert on til
ing and a former curator of the Uni
versity museum, during q recent study
Of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the Vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds of clay, and was surprised to
find that a distinct glaze was still ap-
parent
The ancient Egyptians, says Mr..
Mercer, did not glaze their works, the
Chinese adopting this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels i'm
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever, and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.

NOT HOME OF ANCIENT MAN.

Theories regarding the antiquity Of man IN
Peru have not been strengthened by the expedi-
ton OF DR.. A1es Hrdlicka of the National museum
OF that country The expedition covered several
hundred miles OF the Peruvian coast, including
hitherto unexpiored regions in the Western Cor
dilleras. More than one hundred ancient GENE
teries and many ruins q large percentage of
which were previously unknown to science, were
examined, and over thirty boxes OF skulls and
other material for future study collected for
the National museum.
The result of the expedition" says the expe-
dition's report failed to strengthen the theories
Of the antiquity of in Peru, but tended to
prove the contrary. Aside from the cemeteries
or burial caves Of the common coast or mountain
people and their archaeological remains, there was
no sign Of human occupation Of these regions.
Not trace suggesting anything older than the
weIl-represented preColumbian Indian was found
anywhere; and neither the coast nor the noun
