FIGHTING MEN QUICK TO
APPRECIATE THE HORSE

1t is generally held that the
horse came originally from beyond
the Euphrates, in Armenia, where
Noah's ark was stranded, and
where the ass still runs wild. It's
value, as war charger and char
lot or cavalry horse, soon caused
it to be tanned and exported to 9TH
er countries, and Bible students
will remember that Holofernes had
1900 mounted archers Judith
1850 Probably the Egyptian
horsemen, which accompanied JOS
eph and his brethren on their pill
grimage to Canaan for the pur-
pose of burying Jacob in the grave
Of his ancestors, were cavalrymen
sent by Pharaoh, to protect the
cavalcade from proving bands of
mounted Bedouins.
Syria, and no doubt heather
Canaan, employed horses in war,
but the Israltes were forbidden to
initiate them and in obedience to
divine command hamstrung any
of the chargers they captured. Job

Rock-Carved Buddha

On the fact of Jagged wall in a
grotto in western Tibet there ex-
lists, sculptured out of the virgin
rock, a mighty Buddha. The grot-
to was followed out and the inn
age built within it probably sever
al hundred years ago, as modi-
fled form of Buddhism has been
the chief religion of Tibet for
many centuries. Buddhism, as a
religion, was launched by Prince
Gautama in the valley of the Gam
ges, in India, six hundred years be-
fore Christ. It gradually moved
northward and eastward and to-
day there are very few Buddhists
left in India proper. Most of the
Buddhists of the world are found
in Burma, Indo-C China, Siam, Tibet
and China and Japan.

DEAD JUNGLE DENIZENS
FOOD FOR LIVING THINGS

1t is fact that the carcasses of
elephants are rarely found. But
for that matter travellers come
upon the bodies of very few of the
other animals of the jungles, tho
thousands die every year.
In the tropics, where every liv-
ing thing is eternally hungry and
where life abounds as nowhere else
on earth, fleshy body has little
chance for permanence. A dying
elephant seeks out a quiet place
where he can be alone with his
strange experience, but that is not
the reason why man seldom sees
later such of his as was mortal.
Bacterial life, ants and other in
sects, small animals, vultures-a all
serve speedily to dispose of the
dead. Natures own sanitary meth
DDS quickly obliterate the being
which served her own purpose. A
few hours is usually sufficient to
do away with carcass; that is
why few dead elephants are found.
1t is for the same reason that of
the millions of mighty creatures
that walked the earth in prehistor-
ic times, so few, comparatively,
few have left unmistakable evil
dences that they existed.
Only the animals which died in
circumstances especially favorable
to their preservation, such as
those buried in swamps or by
sands are found now, to be mount
ed in museums and reconstructed
for students.

studies of so birds by the biological
survey, United States Department
of Agriculture. Indicate.
In the fall and winter these birds
feed largely on green leaves. grains
of wheat, corn. oats, barley, and
seeds of ragweed, foxtail grass, and
bindweed. The cultivated grains
seem to be picked up mostly in
stubble fields. and the investiga-
tors believe this indicates no in
jury to growing crops.
Contents of the crops and giz-
yards of the birds examined showed
that animal food made up 6 per cent
of their food The young birds, In
particular, displayed a liking for
grasshoppers. beetles, and other in
furious insects.
This partridge has been intro
duced into numerous North Ameri-
can localities and has become well
established in some of them. par
ticularly in southwest Canada,
Washington state, southwestern
Wisconsin, southwestern Michigan,
and northwestern Ohio. As 1t is
comparatively new bird in this
country its habits are interesting
to sportsmen, ornithologists. and

PROSPERITY RETURNING

There are pessimists and trou-
blemakers who believe that pan
ic exists or impends and who do
not desire to think otherwise.
Their poor distorted minds seem
to derive some pleasure out of
those visions of ruin and suffer
ing, altho it is difficult to see in
what way they personally will
benefit even tho hard times dis
credit those of other political and
social beliefs.
Fortunately for the future pros
perity and happiness of the ma
ton the great body of Americans
are optimistic economically, polit-
ically and socially. They con-
stantly see before them better
times, better things That is the
mood in which one now finds
them.
The United States is renewing
its natural progress toward great
er prosperity, greater production,
greater comfort and better living
conditions for the average man.
The signs of vigor and confidence
are as unmistakable as the signs of
spring. The winter of discomfort is
over.
1t is not surprising to see the
country turning away from its rec
ent troubles and rapidly regaining
its habitual stride of prosperity.

PUT MONEY TO WORK

Accountants have estimated that
nearly one and one half billion dol
lars are idle in the nation now be-
cause of boarding practices and
that If the money was put to work
more than one million men. This
money must be brought from its
hiding places and used to paw
debts, make improvements, pur-
chase needed merchandise in the
home, deposited in the banks or
invested in good, sound securities.
Used in any one of these ways,
the results will be equally helpful
to the nation as a whole.
Our supply of idle dollars today
destroys thirteen times as much
credit, according to u. S. Treas
ury officials, and at the rate of 8
percent, causes 100000 yearly
to be lost in interest payments.

Child's Death Result
of Inhaling Feather

An inquest was held recently on a
child, aged five months, who died
under unusual circumstances, says
the London correspondent of the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. The child was under the
care of a foster mother. who stated
that it was well until one evening
she heard it move and. on going to
the child. found it lying on its face
and looking unnatural. When medical
aid arrived the child was dead. The
necropsy was performed by the gov
eminent pathologist. Sir Bernard
Salisbury. who said the child was a
fine one and appeared to have been
well cared for He found a feather
in the child's larynx and attributed
death to laryngeal shock, which he
said was rare. Apparently the child
got the feather in its mouth and
then inhaled it, Death was not at
tributed to asphyxia.

"Ancient Family" Claims
Scoffed At by Experts

Persons who like to trace their an
cestry back to William the Conquer
or, or to some other famous hero of
history, were ridiculed in a recent
address before the Society of Ge-
nealogists in London by the British
genealogical expert, T. r. Thomson.
The majority of such claims rest,
Mr.. Thomson explained, upon SINH
larity of surnames, but this is of no
value at all, since the general use of
surnames or family Names dates
back only little more than 200
years.
Another difficulty is the fact estab-
lished by all genealogical researches
that families and family names in
variably tend to become extinct in a
relatively few generations. The fam
lily blood may survive, more or less
diluted by intermarriage, but this
usually is extremely difficult to
trace, since the necessary exact
records are lacking.
Mere similarity of names means
nothing, the speaker emphasized, be-
cause the same names frequently
were assigned over and over again
to different families merely because
of accidental ownership of the same
piece of land, holding of the same
Office or minor title or work at the
same occupation.
Among persons known to have
been present at the battle of Hast
ings in 1906 A. D., only seventeen.
it was stated by another speaker at
the meeting, now can be identified.
Twelve of these can be connected
with surviving families, but not even
one Of these has had an unbroken
descent in the male line-Baltimore
Sun.
