WEIGHT OF A HORSE.
Bad Guesses Made by Men Unskilled
In Horseflesh.
Many people, even among those who
frequently make use of horses, have
little idea what an ordinary horse
weighs and would have much difficulty
to guess whether a given animal stand-
ing bef =» their eyes weighed 500 or
1,500 pounds. Yet they would have
no such difficulty with a man and prob-
ably be able to guess, especially if they
were good Yankees, within ten or twen-
ty pounds of his weight, The govern-
ments of Europe have long been pur-
chasing and weighing horses for the
military service and transferring them
from carriage or draft employment to
the wvarions branches of cavalry and
artillery. The animals are ordinarily
assigned according to weight. The
French military anthorities find that
an ordinary light carriage or riding
horse, such as in the United States
would be cailed a “good little buggy
horse.” weighs from 300 to 400 kilo-
grams—say from S00 to 900 pounds.
Such horses as these are assigned to
the light cavalry corps. The next
grade above, which in civil life passes
as a “coupe horse,” or carriage horse
of medium weight, ranges in weight
up to 480 kilograms, about 1,050
pounds. This horse goes to help mount
the cavalry of the line.
Next come the fashionable “coach
horses” of persons of luxury, which
weigh from 500 to 580 kilograms, or
from 1,000 to nearly 1300 pounds
These horses go to serve the purpose
of drill for the cavalry belonging to
the reserve military forces. Above
these there are still two grades of
heavy horses. The first are those used
for ordinary draft purposes and are
commonly found drawing the omni-
buses of Paris where such vehicles
are still in use. These weigh from
1,100 to 1,500 pounds. The heaviest
horses are the Clydesdales and Per-
cherons, which are oxen in size and
strength and which weigh from 600 to
B00 and sometimes even up to 900 kilo-
grams—that is, from 1,300 up to near
ly 2,000 pounds. None of these Pe»
cherons of the heaviest weight are
used in the military service, but some
of the lighter ones are employed for
Araft and artillery purposes.—Buffalc

AIDED HER RIVAL.
Romance of a London Society Leader
and a Diamond Necklace.
The jewelers of Bond street could if
they liked tell many an amazing story.
There is no need to dilate on the fasel-
nation which scintillating gems exer-
cise upon the feminine mind. That fas-
Fauble’s.
cination is a fact and may serve to ex-
plain a mortal enmity which existed
recently and probably still exists be-
tween two well known society leaders.
To one of them a highly placed admir-
er mentioned his intention to purchase
a diamond necklace. Knowing that the
lady possessed more than a superficial
knowledge of the value of stones, he
begged her to select for him what he
required. The price he was prepared
to give was £1,500. The lady jumped
to the conclusion that such a request
could have but one meaning—viz, that
she herself was to be the eventual re-
cipient of the gift. She thereupon vis-
ited the jeweler's shop and inspected
his stock, but at the price she was em-
powered to give saw nothing that par-
ticularly took her fancy. A fascinating
piece of workmanship, however, did at-
tract her, the price of which was 3,000
guineas. The desire to possess it be-
came irresistible. She arranged with
the jeweler to send the necklace to the
purchaser and involce it to him at the
agreed upon price, while she gave her
own check for the balance. Then she
went home and awaited the arrival of
the gift. Some days passed, but there
was no appearance of the necklace. A
horrible doubt which assalled her be-
came certainty a day or two later
when she saw the identical necklace
she had helped to pay for sparkling o
the neck of a younger and more beauti
ful rival.—Grand Magazine,
AN AMERICAN HERO.
He Used His Own Body to Stop a
Leak In a Ferryboat.
One morning in January, when the
fce in the Hudson river ran unusually
heavy, a Hoboken ferryboat slowly
crunched her way through the floating
floes until the thickness of the pack
choked her paddles in midriver. It was
an early morning trip, and the decks
were crowded with laboring men and
the driveways choked with teams.” The
women and children standing inside
the cabins were a solid mass up to the
swinging doors. While she was gath-
ering strength for a further effort an
ocean tug sheered to avoid her, veered
a point and crashed into her side, cut-
ting her below the water line in a
great V shaped gash. A moment more
and the disabled boat careened from
the shock and fell over on her beam,
helpless. Into the V shaped gash the
water poured a torrent. It seemed but
a question of minutes before she would
lunge headlong below the ice.
Within 200 yards of both boats and
free of the heavy ice steamed the
wrecking tug Reliance of the Off-
shore Wrecking company, and on her
deck forward stood Captain Scott.
When the ocean tug reversed her en-
gines after the collision and backed
clear of the shattered wheelhouse of
the ferryboat he sprang forward, stoop-
ed down, ran his eye along the water
line, noted in a flash every shattered
plank climbed into the pilothouse of
oe ———
his own boat and before the astonish-
ed pilot could catch his breath pushed
the nose of the Reliance along the rail
of the ferryboat and dropped upon the
latter's deck like a cat.
With a threat to throw overboard
any man who stirred he dropped into
the engine room, met the engineer half-
way up the ladder, compelled him to
return, dragged the mattresses from
the crew’s bunks, stripped off blankets
and snatched up clothes, overalls, cot-
ton waste and rags of carpet, cram-
ming them into the great rent left by
the tug's cutwater.
It was useless. Little by little the
water gained, bursting out first below,
then on one side, only to be calked out
again and only to rush in once more.
Captain Scott stood a moment as if
undecided, ran his eye searchingly over
the engine room, saw that for his needs
it was empty, then deliberately ‘oie
down the top wall calking he had so
carefully built up and before the en-
gineer could protest forced his own
body into the gap, with his arm outside
level wih the drifting ice.
An hour later the disabled ferry-
boat with every soul on board, was

towed into the Hoboken slip.
When they lifted the captain from
the wreck he was unconscious and
barely alive. The water had frozen his
blood, and the floating ice had torn the
flesh from his protruding arm from
shoulder to wrist. When the color be-
gan to creep back to his cheeks he
opened his eyes and said to the doctor
who was winding the bandages:
“Wuz any of them babies hurt?”
A month passed before he regained
his strength and another week before
the arm had healed so that he could
get his coat on. Then he went back to
the Reliance.—Everybody’'s Magazine.
