Tho Horse in warfare.

From Leslies Weekly.
Gasoline has not displaced the
horse. Great as is the dependence of
modern armament on motor driven
vehicles, the horse Is just as i'm
portant and necessary as ever. In
this war troops and supplies, am
munition and wounded soldiers, gen.
erals and surgeons are moved about
in automobiles. Great guns are drawn
by tractors, scouting Is done from
airships propelled wholly by petrol,
the submarines that threaten to prove
so destructive to naval vessels are
driven by internal combustion en-
gines--and yet Old Dobbin holds his
place as mans chief ally in war. He
drags the field guns and packs the
machine guns on his back. The gen.
erals bestride him, and the lancers,
uhlans, hussars, cuirassiers, cossacks
and all cavalrymen, by whatever
name, find him all that he ever was
in the way of a tried and faithful
servant.
A horse presents at least three
times as large target as a man, and
is much more likely to be killed IL hit
at all, so that one horseman will, on
the average, survive several mounts.
1t Is reported that already Germany
is making strenuous efforts to find re-
mounts in the few countries to which
she has access, notably the Scan
dinavian peninsula. Great Britain is
buying horses in the United States
and Canada. The horse markets of
st. Paul have handled thousands of
head within the past few weeks,
which everybody knew were to be
sent across the border to Canada. and
from there find their way to the bat
tlefields of Europe.
In the matter of horses the allies
have the advantage over Germany
and ia-Hungary. The latter
countries have total OF only 500, 900
| horses, while the four allied nations
, have over 26.000,000. And in spite OF
this vast number they are already
buying abroad. II the war lasts long
| the horse supply of the Argentine and
| of Australia will be drawn upon. Rus

horsefiesh. having over 2I.000,0 900 head
while the United States comes next
with 20900,000 Germany is so cut off

only source of extra supply is from

OPPORTUNITY IN YOURSELF

Wishing to settle in London, and
feeling uncertain about her chances
OF success there in practicing her
art, q well-known French palmist
and prophecies called ON Nine. Sarah
Bernhard in Paris and asked her
advice. Tell me- she said, do you
think shall be a success if go
to London?'' My dear lady" Nine
Bernhard protested mildly, why
don't you look in the palm of your
own hand and find out?"
There are multitudes of youths
who think they could succeed any
where excepting just where they are.
They feel sure that if they could
only go to New York, Chicago San
Francisco or some other city where
the big chances are they could do
something worth while.
The opening for your success, my
friend, is not in New York or Chica-
go; it is right inside of yourself
Look there for the answer to the
call of your ambition, the call that
runs in your b God.
So many young people make the
mistake of hunting for their oppor-
tnnity outside instead of looking for
1t within themselves. They make the
mistake of thinking their success de-
Ponds upon their finding opportunity
and they go out to hunt for it.
But no matter where you go, no
matter who your ancestors were, what
school or college you have attended
or who helps you, your best oppor-
tunity Is in yourself. The help you
get from others is something outside
of you, while 1t is what you are, what
you do yourself, that counts. A habit
of depending on self, a determination
to find ones resources within ones
self, and not without, develops
strength.
Thousands of able young men and
young women in this country are am
bilious to make the most of them
selves, but are completely fettered or
held back by an abnormal timidity.
a lack of self-faith. They feel great
unused powers within struggling for
expression, but dread that they may
fail. The fear of being thought for
ward or egotistical seals their lips,

MIR. Novrey's Consolation Prize.

Mr.. Nowrey's Consolation Prize.
from the Camden Telegram.
Congress has adjourned, with no
Democrats name sent to the Senate
for confirmation as internal revenue
collector for this district. The Presi-
dents failure to fill this lucrative
position, now held by Republican,
shows that there was no truth In the
report that the prize was to be
awarded before the coming election,
and serves TO revive the rumor that
IL is reserved as a reward for Sheriff
Joseph u. Nowrey after he shall
have suffered defeat as a candidate
for Congress. If this is the program,
Mr.. Nowrey made no sacrifice for
Ills party in leading the forlorn hope
in this district.
II Is the most plausible explana-
ton of the administration tactics in
retaining Collector Moffett in office
until after the election, the object
being to keep every aspirant for the
collectorship in line, squirting them 10
extraordinary activity for party sue
cess with the hope that the prize may
be won. If all the candidates for the
collectorship except Mr. Nowrey are
being encouraged in hopeless quest
for the job we may expect wailine
and gnashing of teeth when Presi-
dent Wilson shows his hand.
Sheriff Nowrey's denial that he is a
candidate for the revenue job may
be put in the same category as the
story sent out from Washington thai
Lawyer Hampton, of Bridgeton
would be named for the collectorshiI
before Congress adjourned-botf
statements seem to have been manu-
featured for campaign purposes. II
President Wilson is not to have the
services of Mr.. Nowrey as rubber
stamp congressman, what is more
likely than command of his services
for the internal revenue office? Mr.
Nowrey may then step directly ou
of one high-salaried job into another
although repudiated by a populal
vote in the November election.
As to the several Democrats VIII,
have been pressing their claims I,
the collectorship they are expected
to be satisfied with the explanation
that it is for the ''good of the party
that MrT Nowrey is given this ricf
reward. ..----.-

sity honors in Italy In those days No
objection seems to have been raised
even when the university authorities
conferred upon her at the age of
twenty-five the degree OF doctor Of
philosophy, an honor never before
given to woman by that university.
Five years later, when she was
twenty-seven, Laura Bassi was mar
ried to a man of learning named Jo-
seph Verati, and by him she had sew
eral children. For Laura was by no
means the typical blue stocking. She
was really a very pretty woman with
manner that was at once sweet and
magnetic.
flor face in spite of the fact that IL
was SCARED by smallpox, was exceed
ingly attractive. 1t was a serious
modest and exceedingly sweet in ex-
preston. Laura Bassi's eyes were al
most as noted as her remarkable in
tellect, and they were said to be the
soul of the face of this remarkable
woman. They were typical Italian
eyes, dark and full of animation, but
they possessed an indescribable quail
ity of tenderness. and sweetness. Last
but not least of Laura Bassi's charms,
she was a very charitable woman,
and. as her biographer quantity puts
1t. she was very good to 1.-THE poor and

Laura Marie Catherine Bassi was
born in Bologna 203 years ago today.
Her father was a learned professor
of the University of Bologna, one of
the largest and most noted seats of
learning in Europe, and Laura at an
early age had the opportunity of ac-
quiring thorough education.
Laura was exceedingly precocious
and when a mere child became pro-
ficient in languages, ancient and mod
ern. But her great ability was in the
direction of mathematics. and at the
age of twenty she was so advanced
that two of the most learned of the
cardinals were appointed to tutor her
and direct her education. Encouraged
by these men she wrote a thesis on a
philosophical question which, those
who understand it7agree, is one of the
most remarkable pieces of philosophi-
cal writing ever accomplished by a
woman. For several years Laura
Bassi was one of the most talked
about women in the University of
Bologna, and there does not seem to
have been any objection on the part
of the authorities to extend to this
wonderful intellect the advantages of
the university in spite of the fact that
women almost never attained univer-

Nearly all of the mandatory appropriations in
Newark's annual tax ordinances were ordered by Re-
publican legislatures and the greater part of the
amount of the levy consists of appropriations that the
Common Council is compelled to make on penalty OF
going to jail.
Considering this fact, it is singular for Repub-
lican candidate make any mention of the tax rate
Tying a city hand and foot to mandatory appro-
priations and then denouncing the City Council fol
voting these appropriations is an mpudent perform

winged a pheasant. When he recov-

had become full grown, was in per-
