HOW ARABlANS TRAIN HORSES
Familiar Old Stories About Housing
THEM With Human eeings Are
Merely Fables.

So far as we know the Arabian
breeders have no patented system of
training their horses different from
those prevailing among peoples of a
similar degree of civilization, the
Breeders Gazette says. Naturally, the
lack of pasture results in young Ara
bian horses being fed a considerable
quantity of barley, and so, the story
goes. at least, a not inconsiderable
quantity OF the fruit Of the date palm,
fresh and dried by way of succuience.
The colts are broken usually bare
backed at two or three years old. Their
subsequent handling is much like that
of all other horses with perhaps the
difference that as early in life as pos
sible the young animals are accus-
toned TO doing without water for in
creasing periods of time, in order to
accustom them later on to the scarcity
of liquids in desert journeys.
The ancient stories about the Arab
steed being kissed and bawled over
by the sheik's whole family, kept in
the living tent and foaled on the best
silk rugs are picturesque fables con-
tanning about the same measure of
truth as the one which dates the pedi-
gree Of Arabian horses back to the
ma IS owned in Biblical times by
King Solomon.

The Bulgarans are nominally
chased as Slavs. So they are-partiy,"
says a writer in the Century Yet the
world too often forgets that the primi-
tive Bulgarians we're not Slays at all,
but an Asiatic people OF Turanian
stock who in the seventh century burst
upon the primitive Slays recently mi
grated south of the Danube, and set
tied down as masters. Less numerous
than their subjects, the conguerors
were soon absorbed, losing their
speech and peculiar identity. Never
theless. the blood was potent one,
for the Turanian Bulgars left behind
far more than their name; they
stamped upon the rev fox traits
which set 1t distinctly apart in the cat
egory of Slav peoples A moments
analysis will clearly prove this.
Your typical Slav, whether he
dwell on the Russian plains or the
Servian hills, is an idealist, prone to
lose sight of hard facts in daydreams.
Capable OF great accom-
when under the stimulus of his enthusi-
asms, in ordinary times the Slav is
an easy-going, imprudent, open-handed
person, essentially likable, but lack
ing that practical characteristic, eff

Restrained, sober, dour, with occasion
al outbursts of passion, but usually
taking even his pleasures sadly; in
tensely practical and hard-headed;
without a trace of mysticism; frugal
to the point of avarice; so solicitous
about the future tEat this frequently
becomes an obsession above all. pos
sessed of logged, plodding, almost
feroeious energy translating itself nor

two weeks in the Enforcement OF the traf-

merchants who objected to the inforce-

car owners to leave their machines along
side Of the curb for longer than fifteen
minutes.
Merchants in New York avenue and
Pennsylvania avenue complained against
the enforcement of the regulation on the
ground that they had located In this sec

that their place of business would be
convenient for those whose patronage
they solicited. Under the regulation. ih-
stead of making their place Of business
