NapoIeon's Horses Trained.

Extraordinary were the precautions
taken that Napoleon should never ap-
pear at disadvantage on horseback.
The emperor was not n tirst-class
horseman.-and his horses were always
thoroughly broken In. Here Is II de-
scription of the methods employed:
'"rhey were trained to remain per
fectly steady under tortures OF every
description; to receive blows about the
head: drums were beat. pistols and
crackers fired in their ears. flags
waved before their eyes. clumsy pack
ages. and sometimes. even sheep and
pigs. were thrown between their legs
"None of the animals were deemed
sufficiently trained till the emperor
could, without the lcnst difficulty, pull
them up short at full gallop, which
was his fnvorite pace"

COAL PRICE INCREASES.
Local Fuel Committee Grants Appeals Of
the Dealers.

Robert ID. Kemp, chairman of tho local
fuel committee, announced last night that
following an audit of tho books of five of
the coal dealers in this city, the local fuel
committee has recommended an increase
In thegross margin ton to S2.4O to retail
dealers to continue for 60 days, beginning
next Monday.
This recommendation has been APP
proved by Charles III. Ten Weeges, State
fuel administrator.
This means an average increase to all
dealers Of about 35 cents ton and about
5 per cent increase n ton to the consumer
except in certain sizes in which cases there
will be a reduction in the price SO far rs
certain dealers are concerned.
In announcing the increase, Mr.. Kemp
pointed out that at the expiration OF gu
days, there may be another change in the
price of coal, but this will depend largely
upon conditions.
About ono month ago the rntail dealers
applied TO the fuel committee or an in
crease in gross margin, claiming that their
expenses were such that an increase W as
necessary The committee before reaching
any def mite decision decided to have the
books of five of the dealers, whose tonnage
is the largest, examined by an accountant.
When the result of the examination was
submitted 10 the committee, the members
after giving the matter much consideration
decided 10 recommend the increase to
Fuel Administrator Ton Woeges, who has
approyed it.
