1 THE CITIZEN.
THE SPEED OF THE HORSE.
riainird He I« the SnlfUH .nal In
the Worl^
A lE.in on s. horse i» ; r:"o a man.
He f€c-*s more secure, is r'raver, is in
every way more formidable. European
officers know this. In clearing the
streets of Paris only cavalry are used.
We call out the infantry of the militia
and have to shcot people. In Europe
they ess the flat cf a sword heid by a
mounted man. So unarmed body of
humanity will stand the impact of
hor.-es. They melt bsfore the charge
like snow. It Is the uncontrollable in
stinct to get cut of the way, and to do
it as soon as possible. Some day we
will grow wi»er on this side of the At
lantic. Just now we have fifty infan
i try companies of militia to one of cav
' airy. Many of our militiamen are un
' able to pay for the keep of a horse,
j which is expensive, even if a man doea
j the caring and bedding with his owu
hands. Many others of them would
! not know what to do with a horse if
j they had one. This is bad, but with
j the trolley and the bicycle crowding
: the steed of our fathers closer and
i closer to the wall there is not much
' chance that it will be bettered. Five
! hundred years from now, unless all
j signs fail, grayheaded college profess
j ors, with piano-calves and eighteen
inch chests, will be lecturing upon an
extinct animal and reconstructing him
for the benefit of students from a piece
of stifle and a front tooth.
I believe that the horse la the swift
est animal in the world. One hears
strange tales of the speed of the ante
lope, the white-tailed fawn, the spring
bok, the elephant, the jack rabbit and
the v.olf. The fastest of these is the
Aroerican antelope, and I have never
; sen one that a good pony could not
Ifeit. As for the rabbit or any kind of
deer, tb< horse will simply run over
him. Taking into consideration the
fact that the horse generally carries
more than 150 pounds of rider, saddle
and gun, one gets an idea of how much
superior fie is. A speedy pony will
outrun a greyhound. I have seen this :
tried. It in • ustomary among men who
I use them to give the dogs all the law
| possible in order to avoid riding over
them, in hunting with a brace of very
good coursing hounds five years ago it
was found that there were five ponies .
In the party which would outfoot the
dogs, and one of them, a gray of un- J
doubted mustang ancestry, If given the
bit would do his best to run over them
and kill them. He did not like them. ;
They belonged to his owner and he
was Jealous.

Gen. Sheridan as he became older
conquered his shyness. At the tine of
the Commune he was in Paris with his
_ilde-de-camp. There was also stop
ping at the same hotel a charming
JVmerican woman v.ith whom he was
■lightly acquainted. The prisoners
had been liberated and were rushing
madly through the streets. The order
bad also been given that all windows
and shutters must be kept closed. Shut
up In her dark room and hearing the
noliiy rabble below, the woman became
greatly alarmed.
"There Is but one thing lor trie to
do," she cried, "to Insure safety. I will
put myi.elf under the care of the Amer
ican General."
She therefore Kent her card to Sheri
dan, who at once called and offered his
cci vices. He also advised that r.he
should Join his party In the morning
iitid get away to Ixindon. Still she ;ip
peared distressed. Finally she cried:
".t Is my bonnets at. Vlrot's, They
were to have been down to-day. How
can 1 go and leave them?"
The General grasped the situation,
and offered his arm to <- < ort her to the
milliner'*. Happily It was not fat 'iff.
Ever afterward he delighted to tell 'if
bis pleasure at seeing nuch an array of
dalnt? headgear, l.e had never been
at a milliner's before,

If Spain re,-illy wants to keep up the
fight and can get funds in no other
way, she might turn to hor cathedrals
When she was at the zenith of bet
power the cathedrals became the re
ceptacles of vast wealth, and for the
most part that wealth remains to-day.
There are many chapels that to Un»
depth of two Inches are worth their
weight in gold. Not oniy are the mo
saics that cover the walls of very high
value, but the shrines are loaded *'ith
rate ornaments, and .11 many «ase»
with precious stones of gnat sis* arid
worth. A chapel in the gre it Cathe
dral of Hi villa has a Virgin lli-'ir.eil by
a huge emerald fixed In the roof above
the head, and the garments of ».he Vir
gin and saints have Jewels r-wed on
them. Mere, then, are unto) 4 riches,
but a country would be fat gone, In
deed, to make use of so saTed relics
for carrying on an unholy war. At
present thoy are rigorously guarded.

KEEPING OIR BOYS.
UNCLE SAM PROVIDES A VERY GOOD
TABLE FOR THEM.
Work of FcrtliDS an Army —Tlif
Problem of Frefth Urond—How the Sol-
HeaJlZt .* Gnarilaii-Tlie Company
C ook.
Uncle Sam'* ooidiers are probably
the best fed and cared for troops in the
■woriJ. The facilities for securing pro
visions. even on forced marches, are
such that the commissary department
has little trouble in s.. inlying the
troops with a varied and palatable bill
of fare.
The greatest tests in the matter of
food supplies during the j .'.st two de
cades have been to secure and trans
port provisions to the little bands of
cavalry and infantry in keep
ing down Indian depredations in the
west. It was during these expeditions
that the equipment of the commissary
department has been perfected, until
to-day each company carries in a small
space all the necessaries of a kitchen
and culinary department. This outiit j
is one which never fails to interest |
women visitors to encampments of ;
United States troops, and to win from !
the housewife great praise for its sim- :
plicity and effectiveness.
Each company fc s its cook, usually
a fat and jolly member of the service, ]
whose headquarters are frequented
during all parts of the day by convivial |
members of the company. The usual
habit of cooks to grow fat and good
natured seems to be a rule of those
who serve in the army, as well as those
who are in civil life. The cook is a
regularly enlisted member of the army,
told off for his duties because of his
fitness for the part. lie is allowed two
assistants, these being appointed by
the commander of the company for a
week's service in the cook' 3 depart
ment, and being under his charge.
While they assist ia preparing and
vins the food, the cook does the ma
jor part of the work, and It is his t;i;;te
and skill which goes to make the
victuals served a f ttor in the health
and contentment of the corps.
The cook has one s.ijall tent in
wbich are stored the extia provisions
and utensils needed. A large fly, with
poles and guy ropes, serves to shelter
the cooking apparatus and to form the
company's kitchen. Under it the stove
is placed. The latter is an oblong
metal affair, made on purpose for the
army, and having griddle holes for the
pots and pans. A ditch is scraped in
the earth, and on it the stove is placed,
leaving room underneath for the fire
of glowing weed enii,ers. The cook is
an artist at making a fire in this trench
and in keeping it at an even heat. Var
ious folding chairs, tables improvised
of (amp chests nnd other things, serve
to make the nece.;.;ary apparatus for
use in the kitchen. A dozen big ket
tles, boilers anfl pans are the utensils
needed.
Dinner, at noon, is the principal meal
of the day in camp life, and for an hour
before the kitchen pr< sents a busy
M ene. One assistant, with ale vea roll
ed up above the elbows, hits on a < h«- t
peeling potatoes, a bushel or more be
ing necessary for the meal. Near hiin
the other assistant lends over a great
quarter of beef, < arving out a supply
for the meal. The cook watches his
men while he attends the stove and be
gins preparations for the coming re
fast. A huge boiler on 01 side of the
. tove holds four v '.lions of fragrant
coffee, another boiler 1M flllul with wa
ter to receive the potatoe.-, 'vhlle in a
bright kettle on another ; it of t he
stove th" cook > •>, h '.<■,!■ .Jj.'vi, rice
•ind other wh ;l' ...,ti i i! i.f ..oii|» and
waits for the a a :i' ' » l.;<i.;ii carving
the meat that it tu.iy In added.
Soon the dinner is well under way,
and the cook and his assistants are
busy men. In addition to the hot parts
of the meal, there are to be taken from
the chests and served ;;r<- it loaves of
bread or hard tack. The bi—ad problem
is a serious one •m n mar' h,or In r amp,
and away from the cltiex, and while
the cook often has to prepare the corn
bread or other cereal himself. It Is
brought Into camp already prepared
whenever possible. A company of a
hundred men or more will eat a great
quantity of the staff of life In a week,
and hundreds of loaves are necessary.
There are other parts of (lie soldier's
meal to be f.xed, If the company la
near civilization and provisions are
plentiful, ilal'.ed beans often appear oti
the bill of fare, dried fruit, rice, hom
iny anil other easily carried eatable,
and to prepare all then- on the one
small stove and wliii only two UHHIHI,-
111>tM Is an art that only ,m army cook
understands.
When the men! Is ready and the
bugle;-, blow to mess, the soldiers ar
range themselves In an orderly man
ner, and the cook and Ills assistants
start out. Klrst the r.oup Is ladcled out,
then the more solid components of the
meal, then the coffee nnd then the
sweets, until nil are supplied.
To such an extent does cleanliness
enter into the preparation of the sol
dins' meal that the greatest precau
tions ate taken to exclude dirt. Ture
fully the pots and pirns are scrubbed
brightly, the big knives and utensils
are polished and the refuse of the cook
tents Is carried far off nnd dumped to
prevent the contagion that might urine
from decaying - lops 'lhe offlcent are
vigilant in keeping watch on the cook
and his assistants, ns the health of ihe
camp may depend on their careful
cleanliness.
Kacli company has lis cook and mess,
except where great armies are encamp
ed; then a number of cook departments
are thrown togethci lo work In unison

EQUIPPING THE ARMY MULE. '
I'acking It ■ Science sod the Man W ho If
an Eipjrt Can Make Money.
Most of the army mules in Cuba were
fitted with the Mexican aparejo. which
is to be preferred to the saddle with
"tree and sawbuck."
It consists first of two or more thick
felt blankets, folded large enough to j
nearly cover the mule from shoulder ■
to rump. Over this is placed a huge I
pair of leather bags united by a broad
band of the same material, the cavi
ties stuffed with soft hay.
This is girthed to the mule by a
cinch nearly a foot in width, which is
drawn as tightly as possible by a
strong man, pulling with both hands,
and with a foot against the animal's
ribs to give him a greater purchase.
On each side of the spine the articles
to be carried are placed and lashed by
a rope about fifty feet in length, which
has at one end a broad webbing belt
to pass under the belly as was done
with the others. Another "squeezing"
is given and the rope is crossed in dif
ferent directions over the load, tight
ened at every crossing, and finally fas
tened in a knot loosed by one pulL
"Packing" is a science, and as such
i commands good wages. I have known
! a "chief packer" to be paid a salary of
$l5O per month on the frontier, and his
! services were worth the money paid.
The duty is taught to cavalrymen as
part of their drill, and many of the
! soldiers become very expert at it. At a
pack drill of the Ninth Cavalry a few
days before it left Montana one com
pany packed its mule in 1 minute and
54 seconds, and others were but little
slower.
Thirty mule.s generally constitute a
"train," and are managed by threa
men. They are trained to follow a bell,
worn by a horse, white preferred, as
being more readily seen. They are not
confined in any way except when first
put into the train; then, any straying
from it is punished very severely and
Mr. Mule soon learns his place and that
it is best to keep it.
Each man with the train carries a
diamond-shaped leather blind with
leather cords attached to the ends and
knotted together. If a pack becomes
disarranged two of the men lead tho
mule out of the trail, blindfold him
with this blind, rearrange his load, re
move the leather and allow him to re
join his fellows. He is never struck
when started, and pack mules are never
misused by good packers.
The lliril of freedom.
The American Eagle voiced his sen
timents on the 4th of July, 1776, In the
great and only Declaration of Inde
pendence, but he did not take shape for
several weeks after that day. Immedi
ately after tho declaration had been
read to the Continental Congress,
meeting in Philadelphia at that time, a
resolution was paused creating Benja
min Franklin, John Adams and Thom
as Jefferson, all well-known gentle
men, to be a committee to prepare a
seal of the United States. On the 10th
day of August they reported, bringing
in a combination consisting principally
of .a Goddess of Liberty, a Goddess of
Justice, and an Eye of Providence with
a very small and insignificant eagle in
one corner of the device. Incidentally
also on the device was the legend, "E
Plurlbus I'mim." Although the eagle
at this time was not much of a bird, it
still seemed to the Colonial Congress
men that something was wrong with
the report of the committee, and the
seal had such a bad effect that the re
port was laid on the table, where It
stayed until 1771). in March of that
year It took a fresh start with a new
committee, but nothing was done until
1781, when among several designs sub
mitted was one from William liarton
of Philadelphia, who made the eagle
prominent, and described the bird as
emblematic of sovereignty. Another
de .lgn was furnished by Charles Tom
son, secretary of Congress, and the last,
design, and the one finally adopted,
was endorsed "Mr. Barton's Improve
ments on the secretary's device,"
which made some changes In Mr.
Tomson's designs, and this was adopt
ed Ju»c 20, 17K2, at which time the
great American Eagle made Its first
anil genuine appearance In tho history
of the great republic he Is under a per
petual engagement to scream for.
