Color and Horse Character.

An old cavalry officer says that one
may Judge the constitution and char
acter Of horse from its color. Bright
chestnuts and light bays are high spir-
tied. but nervous and delicate. Dark
chestnuts and glossy blacks are hardy
and good tempered. Rich bays have
great spirit, but are teachable. Dark
and iron grays are hardy and sound.
while light grays are the opposite.
Roans, either strawberry or blue, are
the hardest and best working Of all,
even tempered, easiest to train, taking
kindly to everything. Rusty blacks are
distinguished for their pig-headedness.
A horses white stockings" give an
other clew to character. A horse with
one white leg is bad one, with two
its temper is uncertain, with three it is
absolutely safe, with four may be
trusted for while only.

sANDBA0s SAVE MANY LIVES
Italian Authorities Must Be Given
Credit for RESPONSIVENESS In :.
Modern Warfare,

No belligerent has shown more re-
sourcefulness than the Italians in de-
wishing novel means of offense and de-
Tense, says a writer in Wide World
Magazine. The Italian army was the
only one to enter the war with trench
helmet and steel chest protector, and
it is now provided with a more efficient
body shield than is possessed by any
other of the warning nations.
Early in the war it was discovered
by the Italians that many lives could
be saved in skirmishing at close quar-
tiers If the soldiers carried or pushed
bags Of sand in front Of tllcm, and the
present body shield hos len an out
growth of that idea.
They are made in the one-man and
twO-man type. The former are worn
by infantry advancing in the open, at
tached to the shoulders by a pair Of
light steel arms. and are long enough
to protect the head and vital organs Of
man standing erect. Lying at full
length. or even crouched, It covers him
completely. Each shield is pierced with
small. round eyehole and an oblong
loophole for firing from, both Of which
may be closed by sliding door when
not In use.
The two-man shield is principally
used in wire cutting. 1t is carried on
the back Of one man, who. may also
work his rifle from loophole In the
top. while 5 second man works a long
wire-cutter through hole at the bot
tom. 1t Is held up by short legs II the
first man desires to move independ-
emily.

Everything, from richest furs to
kitchen aprons and war overalls, was
given a chance in the recent style
show at the Hotel Morrison, Chicago.
It was a real exposition of practical
garments of all sorts, designed by
Americans, for Americans, and not
merely competition between manu-
facturers to see which could exhibit
the most unusual. expensive and elab-
crate designs in women's apparel. The
garments were made to self, not simply
for exhibition, and therefore one could
Judge from them the standards reached
and the progress made in public taste.
1t was a valuable and interesting ex-
hibit.
There was a great deal Of interest in
the new service suits for women who
have taken up work usually done by
men-as work in factories, munitions
plants gardens and the lighter farm
work. The suits are made with trou-
sers instead Of skirts and usually in
one piece with blouse. Several varie-
ties Of overalls were among them and
these warlady clothes proved more
slightly than the usual skirt and blouse
that are SO prone to part company.
Nightdresses and negligees were not
neglected for the eternal feminine may
clothe herself in war overalls five or
eight hours in the day Tin order to be
able to buy dainty and frivolous things
for other hours) but she will not be
weaned away from filmy fabrics and
laces. A pretty nightdress and neg
ligee, shown In the picture, were
among the most graceful of several
such garments in the exhibit ut the
style show. The nightdress Of nain-
sock is low-necked, finished with seal

loped edges and fine tucks across the
front. There is an embroidered me-
dali1on at each side and full sleeves
that are much longer than sleeves have
been for several seasons. There is not
much needlework on this gown, but
what there is, is very well done.
The negligee is long slip of plait-
ed silk with an overdrop of lace that
hangs from the shoulders, having the
effect of short. full lace coat. 1t is
epen down the front and is to be worn
over lacey petticoat or slipped over
the nightdress for bedroom wear, Satin
slippers edged with silk fringe are a
detail worth remembering for pretty

footwear.

selling Money Business In China.
In China dealing in money is bust
ness. one of the flourishing industries
of the country, says World Outlook.
There are shops that deal in nothing
else-money exchange shops. You will
find one in nearly every twisted little
street in every city. often perely little
holes in the wall. where a skull-capped
proprietor sits behind brass railing
with little piles of money on each side
of him and swiftly fingers his counting
board. Here you go shopping for
money, just as you go for white fan

ton silk-and you bargain just as long
and just as hard in the Ob.ique and
devious ways of the Orient. A ma
tional currency system there is not.

Burial In Old English Churches.

The places of burial beneath many
of the old churches in England are
arranged in different ways. In many
cases the burial Is made in a grave
dug in the soil. as is done in an open
graveyard. In some cases there is a
crypt beneath the main floor. the crypt
being practically one large vault. and
here the collins are deposited on
shelves Of stone. Sometimes the crypt
is divided Into separate vaults which
are really small rooms enclosed on all
sides by stone walls.

Locks and Dams Built.

In order to make navigation possible
on the rivers and lakes it was neces-
sary to maintain specified minimum
depth and provide what is termed
'slack-water navigation" This was
accomplished by the construction of
dams and locks, the dams holding the
water at more or less fixed elevation
above the level of the stream and the
locks permitting the barges to move
from one level to another. Between
Little Falls and Troy, on the Erie
canal, ten dams have been constructed.
which provide for navigation on the
canalized Mohawk river. Two of these
structures are of the fixed type" while
eight are movable. These actually
make the river series of lakes, the
water between the dams being prac-
tically level and ordinarily without
much current. A lock is constructed at
one side of each dam to enable the
barges to pass from the different lev
els.
Many travellers across the state have
wondered at the movable dams which
appear to be steel bridges, yet have
no approaches This type of struc-
ture was necessary. however. because
from the bridge floor Of each structure
the controlling works. which swing
underneath. are operated. These works
consist of heavy steel frames and gates
which may be lowered or raised at
will by operating electric winches run
ming on the bridge floor of the dam.
The particular function of the movable
dam is that when the gateeare raised.

Atlantic ocean was formally celebrated
recently. The completion of this great
inland waterway, which required Ii
years to build and involved the ex-
penditure. of approximately $15O,OOO,-
OOO, will be wonderful boon to war
time transportation. 1t will relieve
the railroads of tremendous guam
tity of nOnperishable freight. Its ca
pacity is estimated at ten million tons
annually, which, is the equivalent Of
half a million carloads.
The canal is made up of four different
channels, all of which have the same
general dimensions, the depth being
about IL feet and width varying from
to minimum of 200 feet in the beds
of canalized rivers and lakes. These
channels are: The Erie canal, or main
line. between Buffalo and Troy; the
0swego, running from Syracuse to
Lake Ontario; the Champlain, extend.
ing from Troy up the Hudson to Lake
champlain. and the Cayuga-Seneca,
connecting the sO-called Finger
Lakes" with the main channel. By
means of the Hudson river, New York
city and the municipalities and vii
lagos south of Albany are brought into
touch with the system.
This new channel was constructed in
accordance with principles radically
different from those which governed on
old canals. On these old channels the
idea was to keep the hillside above the
rivers and streams and to use animal
power for towing purposes. In the
present work, however. the practice in
vogue on the Continent. where the low
water routes available in natural
streams are used, has been followed
wherever practicable. In fact, the
larger part of the new system consists
of the canalizatiOn of the rivers and
lakes.

PEACE LEADER
COMES TO FRONT.

LONDON, ct 5.--Reports from
Swiss andI German newspapers indi-
cate that a great political disturb
ance is going on in Austria-Hungary.
1t is stated that the position OF
Baron Won Hussarek, the Austrian
premier, is shaken and that he In
likely to be succeeded by Heinrich
Lammasch. who Is one of Austria's
foremost peace advocates.
According to the NosSlSche Eel
tung's Vienna correspondent, the
German parties in the reichsrath are
sending their leaders to the om-
peror to urge drastic changes in the
constitution in the direction OF fed
eralization with self-determinatiOn
for the German races in Austria. The
correspondents add that Count Ger
min and representatives of uhe con-
stitution parties in the upper house
also are going to urge the emperor
to adopt a similar course OF action.
The Budapest correspondent OF the
Vossiscne Zeitung reports that Pre-
mier Wekerle has requested Count
Julius Andrassy to enter his cabinet
with Count Albert Apponyi and
Count Stephei Tisza. Count An
drassy, however, will only consent to
enter a coalition cabinet on Condi-
tion that Count Tisza be excluded
and wishes tho participation OF the
Karolyi party and the social demo-
Gratis. No common platform yet ex-
lists and 1t seems there is much op-
position to a coalition government.
