HORSE A GOOD LISTENER
l. Nluays on the Alert for sounds of
ANY Kind

The ordinary immunity of horses
from deafness is a great advantage
to the human race. says NOmad in
Boston Transcript, FOR the value of a
horse who could not hear the COM
mand to go or to stop and who could
not be quictcd, controlled and encour-
aged 10y the human voice when fright
cncd or in difficulties, would be
greatly lesseucd. The horse is really
one Of the best listeners In the world.
He is always on the alert for sounds
which concern or interest him. When
ne looks at anything he turns his ears
toward II. to observe the better
whether any sound comes from II. If
"a horse is particularly Interested in
your driving him, he always turns
his ears backward toward you, but II
he has no concern on that subject o.
If he sees anything ahead that Inter
csts him, he Keeps his ears prickcd
forward. A horse hears the whlnny
of another horse at greater distance
than the average man can hear II.
This comparatively immunity Is
moro remarkable from the fact that
horses are often blind, or have dcfec-
tive Cyosight. We see blind horses
every day ana always sympathlze with
them. but q * certainly wonderful
how they get along so well The guid-
nnce by the r0ins of course helps 'h"nl
greatly, but the Nomad is told by

which her majesty has offered medals
and prizes. In one competition, for
instance, four parties of fifty men of
the grenadiers and chasseurs brigade
started off at fixed intervals from
point just outside The Hague. They
had first to skate about 10 miles then
proceed on foot for four miles, and
give evidence on arrival at their desti-
nation of complete marching and
fighting fitness. In another case eight
patrol parties of ten men, each led
by an officers, had to cover n dis
tance of q miles, including about a
mile and half on foot. The winning
patrol did the latter trip in 3 hours,

provided medals for public competi-
ton in every separate province.
