war between US and England 1t touch
- on almost everything else-on ships
and shoes and sealing wax and cab
bages and kings''-but not d word in
regard to the matter about which the
war of 1872 had been fought.
The cause of the conflict was a dis
pute about the right of England to
stop our vessels and take from them
sailors who had shipped on merchant
men. 1t was true that many American
ships were manned by English tars
who had deserted, but no matter if that
sailor was an American, his word was
never to be taken, according to Eng
lish usage, against that of the English
officer who swore the man had worn
the kings colors. In those days sail
or's word went for nothing.
But the Americans did not relish the
idea of having their ships stopped and
their best men taken from their ves-
sells, very much in the manner that a
pirate would board a treasure galleon.
England needed her seamen to fight
Napoleon, at least when the war of
1872 started. But by 1915 times had
changed and Napoleon was a prisoner
at Elba Doubtless the commissioners
who signed the treaty all thought that
such an occasion would again arise.
SO the trouble over which they fought
was completely ignored
The war of 1912 was "a draw, neith-
er side winning. The English stopped
fighting because the great European
conflict which caused the trouble had
ended by the abdication of Napoleon.

them were prize cows, and others will
go into the shows this year. I looked
at one that weighed $500 pounds, and
that although she was only four years
old She seemed to be all meat. and

il made hardly a dent. This cows

was refused | said to the ma jordomo
that the young COW might yet bring
more than "Americus. He laughed ana
said that the price Americus brought
was phenomenal and that bulls like
him were, not sold every year.
Our next visit was to the stables,
where the fine bulls are kept. There
are five of these stables, each
covering perhaps half an acre They
are long low buildings divided up into
through the center. The floors are all
of brick but the animals stand upon
boards which are carpeted with bed
ding about foot deep. The doors 10
the stalls slide on wheels and every
thing is of the most modern style.
There are perhaps thirty bulls in each
stable but the ventilation is perfect,
and as I went through there was no
smell from the cattle. The animals are
washed and scrubbed every morning,
and before they enter the shows they
are treated to a special lotion OF hair
restorer that makes their coats SHINE
like satin. The animals are cared FOR
like so many kings. each bull having
its own private stall about ntteen or
twenty feet square.
At my request the maJordomo had

designed the Capitol. The place was
the property of Col. John Tayloe, a

was at Gen. Washington's solicitation
that the Tayloe mansion was erected

which is thought to have communicat-
ed with the river in old days The
front hall is paved with the black and
white stones placed there when first
built. and in its chimney are now two
old cast-iron stoves of ancient pattern.
The rooms are all spacious and the
mantels richly carved.
Here gathered the social life of the
new country; the statesmen, bellies and
rich planters made the first American
court. The first families of Virginia
and Maryland dined beneath the ma
hogany of Col. Tayloe, whose income is
said to have been fifty thousand year.
In these lofty halls the candles of be-
lated beaux shone many nights on the

now come to view the historic place.

weighed much less than a ton, and
every one was of royal blood. Among
others. were two sons of the bull that
sold for $4,000. One of these was
eighteen months old. 1t was twice as
big as the better class Shorthorn of
the same size in the States
Others of the stables were devoted to
fine Hereford stock. Altogether there
are about 200 bulls. every one of which
has a pedigree longer than any geneal-
ogy in the historical collections of Bos-
ton.
As walked through the stables,
saw a little male calf sucking a COW.
The calf was only ten days old. 1t was
not as big as Newfoundland dog, but
it was perfect Durham in shape.
When I asked as to his value, the
majordomo told me that it was worth
at least $1,000. 1t is the son Of the
famous Americus. and 1t may turn out
to be a prize winner and bring as
much or more than its father. Never
theless, today it is SO small that / could
have lifted it up in my arms. 1t is
probably the most valuable piece of
veal upon record.

and the horses of all nations that the
American horse is no weakling.
The Pennsylvania state live stock
sanitary board recently issued Il circu-
lar inviting farmers to give more at
tention to horses, holding out the
promise of high prices as a result of
the war. More than a half million
horses. it was said, have been shipped
to. the warning nations, and this de-
mand is taken as proving that the
European supply has been depleted,
from which it is argued that, even
after the war is ended there must con-
tinue to be heavy demand for Ameri-
can horses for some years to come.
This estimate that half a million
horses have been shipped abroad may
be excessive. but it probably includes
Canadian, Mexican and Argentine
horses as well as horses from the
United States. Some American horse
exporters have computed that since the
European war began $4,000 American
horses have been exported to Europe,
ders they say, are being filled and
other orders going begging which de-
mand about $4,000 more.
Great Britain, France. Italy and
Greece have been in the American mar
ket for horses since the outbreak of
the war. Soon after hostilities came
on the country around Washington
was canvassed for horses for the war
ring powers. or at least for the allies.
Many persons sold. but good many
also shrank from selling into such "A

had tended and which had been so
faithful to them. Then horse buyers
in the country tributary to Washington
began another canvass, representing to
horse owners that the animals were to
be shipped to Italy for farming pur-
poses, that country having been de-
pleted of horses by the military de-
mands of the nations at war. Whether
they went to Italy. at all or IT, they
were shipped to Italy. whether for
farming purposes or military purposes
perhaps are open questions Italy has

poses, and SO also has Greece.

er to breeding than to the raising or
beef. and the animals born here are
shipped to the other estancias OF the
owner to improve the stock. Some of
those estancias have thousands OF cat
tie which run practically wild. and the
only thing to be done is to look out and
see il anv be wounded or killed. The
animals eat out of doors and the meat
is nearly clear profit On some OF the
Pereyra farms they have large nelds
of alfalfa There is one of twenty
seven square miles which is altogether
alfalfa. 1t is used for stock raising.
In addition to the pedigreed animals
required for improving the stock, are
those which are sold at the stock
shows. The Pereyra herd has often led
a such shows and il is now especially
famous on account of Americus That
bull was born on the 18th of February,
1911. He was the son of Centennial
Victor and Ravenswood III, and he has
a pedigree running back to the fif-
teenth generation, his fifteenth great
grandfather in order of his birth being
named Julius Caesar.
In addition to the Pereyra estancias
there are many others in the republic
that are famous for their fine cattle.
horses and sheep. This is one of the
chief grazing countries of the world
and the farmers are steadily improving
the stock. They are paying enormous
prices for fine bulls and rams and have
been spending fortunes in bringing IN
fine blooded stock from England and
France. Take Manuel Cobo. who has
an estate of $4,000 acres. He recently
imported a bull named Rufus that cost
him $4,000 and he has several Durham
and Hereford bulls that each cost from
$1,000 to $4,000. At one time he i'm
ported a flock of $50 head of Lincoln
sheep, for which he paid s150.0oO in
gold, and he has sold one bull that
brought $1,000. He raises only pure
bred cattle and sheep and has on his
estancia 500 pedigreed shorthorn cattle,
40 shorthorn stock bulls and 10000
pure bred Lincoln sheep. The Cobo
estate has so windmills to water the
stock, and it kills bullocks and 20
sheep every day to feed the 200 men
employed upon it
Another big show estate is La Chap

from Buenos Aires, near Mar de

of the Argentine. 1t runs along the

make her own chest, or to have a rough

with mating and lined throughout with
a delicately tinted oilcloth to keep 1t
alright and clean. Pretty brass pad
locks protect the contents. II one cares
for elaboration, brass or metal corner
pieces may be added. A heavy chest
should be placed on ball-bearing cas-

Shirt waist boxes may be covered with

These boxes measure about fourteen

Real Wonders of the World.

Of centuries preceding the present
era. When man speaks of the Won
ders of the World il is only he who is
steeped in the classics or the ancient
lore. or who would show that he has
read of the remote past. who thinks
of those Wonders of the World as the
Pyramids of Egypt, the Pharos OF

the Statue of Jupiter by Phidias. the
Mausoleum of Artemisia and the Colos

scholar who includes as among the
wonders of the world the Coliseum
of Rome, the Catacombs of Alexandria.
the Great Wall of China, the stone-
henge. the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the
Porcelain Tower of Nankin and the
Mosque of st. Sophia in Constantinople.
The modern world has the greatest
wonders OF all The ages of the world

the number of these wonders to seven.
but if men were compelled to compress
the marNeis of the age into small a
number as seven they would probably
name the wireless, the telephone. the

titoXins, spectrum, analysis and X-rays.
The microscope and the telescope would
be named by many men as wonders.
in that they were not only wonders in

greater wonders were rev Vealed. Many
men would include among the wonders OF
the world the Photographic camera.
the telegraph, the photograph, the
