Black Hole of Calcutta.

If the prisoners in the famous Black
Hole had been as well informed as
modern scientists, there would have
been no such death rate as actually
occurred. The men died of suffoca-
ton and panic. Modern discovery has
shown that air can support life II 1t
be kept in motion, even though it has
but small amount of oxygen in it..
If the prisoners in the notorious dun
geon had therefore formed in a mass
and revolved round and round at a
pace that would have been easy to
keep up, not only would the contained
air have been stirred up, but each
man on the outside of the revolving
mass would have had his face present
ed periodically to small window.
In fact. in the light of recent dis
covery, the same incarceration could
now take place without the loss Of
a single life; that is, provided the
men were reasonably strong and
healthy.

MAKING TEST OF FRIENDSHIP
Many Considerations Go to the Com
position Of Real Attachment
That Endures.

Why do you like your friend? II

perhaps you would say, Because it Is
too much trouble to STOP" The friend.
ship, the intimacy, has become habit,
and it should be as much trouble to
break it off as to change anything else
in our manner of life. This is not
mere cynical selfishness. OF course
you do like your friend. No friendship
endures for long without some sincere
regard on both sides.
But what are the causes of the re-
gard? Perhaps a certain similarity in
position, in tastes. For, after all,
among grown-up persons friendship
cannot be active without some such
conditions You may once have been
the dearest friend with somebody who
is now much richer or much poorer
than you. The affection still endures
But you are not really friends. It is
practically impossible to share each
others interests, the accidents of each
others life
You may say, If you choose, that
friendship is spiritual thing, an af-
fair of the soul; and that is true, but
not all the truth. 1t is merely playing
with words to pretend that people re-
main friends when they see almost
nothing of each other. For friendship,
Iikn everythinp else worth having Is
essentially active.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULE
Endurance, vIgor and Easiness TO
Keep Depend Upon Mare-De-
mand Is for Big Animals.

Mule breeders differ to some extent
over whether the mule colts charac-
teristics are due most to the jack or
to the mare. Several Investigators
who have asked mule breeders for
their experiences and opinions have
received information that was at vari-
ance. The weight Of opinion, however,
seems to incline that the external
characteristics of the mule colt are
given him by the jack, while his en-
durance, vigor and easiness to keep
will depend upon the mare.
So 1t will be seen that the scrub
mare, the cat-hammed, washy type
of little weight or stamina will not
make suitable mother for the mule
that is to sell well. Any sort Of .
mare will not do, but that is rather q
popular idea among some growers.
Take big farm mare. one that Will
stand about 15, 151a or 16 hands high,
and that weighs anywhere from 1,4OO
to 1900 pounds, and bred to a good
jack she should produce the kind OF
mules that the market is always look
ing for.
When the jack is selected he should
be of fair size and weight at about
1000 to 1900 pounds, and have the
right kind of a pedigree back of him.
OF course there are good jacks that
are somewhat smaller, but the 15 to
151s hand animal is the one that is
most certain to produce the type of
mules that farmer likes to be able
to offer. Where an animal is bought
It Is worth the buyers while to spend
a little more and get as nearly what
Is wanted as possible.
1t is just as easy to raise a big, rug

Honesty Of MiIIers.

The revelations as to the huge

the belief prevalent so far back as
the days Of Chaucer that this trade

belief is illustrated by an epitaph In

In one Of the Broadway hotels the

As he left she dropped into chair to
laugh. A few minutes later one Of the

"What made you tell that man we had

asked. "He said he'd take a 50-cent
