BELGIAN COAST. is REPORT

Paris, April 80, Via London, 2.1O
P. M.-German warships have been
seen off the Belgian coast, according to
an official statement given out in Paris
to-day.
Large shells to the number of nine
teen have fallen on Dunkirk
There, have been several dispatches
in the past week indicating that Ger
man warships were at large in the
North sea, evidently having evaded the
British men-of-war which for many
months have ben doing patrol duty in
front of the German naval bases on the
eastern side of the North sea.
The latest report along this line was
brought in by Captain Scott, of Swed.
ish steamer, who declared that he had
seen in the North see German fleet
numbering no less than sixty-eight YES,
sells of all classes, from Ibattleships to
torpedo boats. The Scott dispatch did
not say where or when the ships had
been sighted, but the inference was
that the incident had occurred within
a week.
Dunkirk is on the northern coast of
France, within few miles of the Bel.
gian frontier. 1t is at the northern en-
trance of the English channel and is
to the east of Dover and to the west of

HOW ARABIANS TRAIN HORSES
Familiar Old Stories About Housing

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 uncomfortable
quantity CT the fruit OF the date palm.
fresh and dried, by way of succulenca
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 tho pedi
grees OF Arabian horses back to the
mares owned in Biblical times by
King Solomon.

FEW PERFECT DAYS IN LIFE
Like All other Joys, It Is Because
They Are So Rare That They
Are so Highly Prlzed.

There is a pretty little sentimental
song which begins with the words,
When you come to the end OF q per-
feet day" 1t relates to true friend
ship and to an unforgettable incident,
and It suggests that perfect days are
rare In human experience. Perhaps
they are. For perfect days depend
upon many factors, and some OF these
are beyond the control Of the tndi'
vidual. You cannot produce a perfect
day ut will, any more than you can
summon perfect weather to suit your
convenience.
The hasty conception OF perfect
day would be such one as falls out
to be entirely to your liking in every
respect That requires a combination
OF circumstances which is exceptional.
You might set forth in the morning
with the determination that. in re-
spect to your own actions and affairs,
and your power over them, the day
should be perfect, but in an hour
or two external influences might In
tervene and the whole thing go glim.
mering. If there be one element lack
ing, whether It be an environment, In
the attitude of others, or in yourself,
perfection is not secured, and the
day takes its place in the common
category, inspiring neither song nor
rhapsody, and occupying no perman'
ent place in the storehouse OF fond
recollections. In fact, 1t Is the very
rarity OF perfect days in n lifetime
that makes the subject one Of com.
ment. OF story. OF poetry, OF cher
ished memories.

About the Mace.

Probably not che person In a thou
sand knows that when they see the
mace OF any city or corporation car
ried in procession 1t is carried upside
down. The glorified head, with its or
namented scrollwork, carving, gliding
and decoration, is really the bottom
and not the top OF the mace, for the
narrow end which used 10 bear a spike
is really the top, and in England when
the king is present the mace is al
ways carried with the small end up
ward.
The base, which started out by be-
ing only a small knob, SO grew in
years, both in size and ornateness,
that 1t could not be carried comfort
ably In the hand. Hence the reason
for tho reversal was for greater ease;
the heavier end or bare was carried
over the shoulder, and in course of
time came to be looked upon as the
top.
