One Might hitch a pair to a child's doll wagon. eeted. Henry Faitflold Osborn, who 'knows more about the subject than anybody else, says that the four -toed horses that roamed this continent 2,- 000,000 years ago were of about that . size. They grazed in herds which doubtless ofteu numbered thousands, and relied upon their fleetness of foot to elude their enemies. They were delicately built creatures, their limbs as slender as pencils. Speaking with definite accuracy, they had four toes on each fore foot and three on each hind foot. Each of these fourteen toes terminated in a lietle hbof. It is possible to speak this definite- ly about the early races of prehistoric horses because their skeletons have been plentifully found in the Bad Lauds and other localities where they are so distributed through rocky strata of successive geologic forma- tions as to tell their own story, as one aright read it in a book. Professor Osborne thinks it alto- gether likely that the earliest of all horses had five toes on. each foot,.but, if that be true, no specimen has as yet been discovered. The four -toed equine animal, the size of a fox and with teeth like a monkey's, was suc- ceeded by the three -toed horse, which was about as big as a goat. Traces of Ancient Formation. The horse of to -day walks on the nail (which we call the hoof) of its middle toe. But, if its legs be dis- sected, there will be found two small splinters of bone above, on either side, beneath the flesh. These are rudiments—i.e,, all that remain of two toes that have gradually shrunk and almost disappeared. In all, eleven species of these ante- diluvian horses have been dug up, the richest deposits of their bones being in central Oregon and in high bluffs along the banks of the Niobrara river, in Nebraska. These little horse must have been almost incredibly numerous. They roamed in countless numbers over the . whole American continent, ail" the way from Alaska to Patagonia. Making their way (it is supposed) across the land bridge which ancient- ly. united Alaska witb. Asia, they spread all over the world, except Aus- tralia. Thus it appears that the horse orig- inated on this continent. But what be- came of it here? It must have ceased td exist in America thousands of years before Columbus landed. Among the Indians encountered by the early Spanish explorers there was not even a tradition of such an animal. It had disappeared; nobody, presumably, will ever know why, Our modern horses are descended from old world stock. - The first of them that arrived in America were brought to Mexico by the Spanish con- querors, and the tale is familiar of the fright they gave to Montezuma's people, who thought they were super- natural monsters. ELIZABETHAN PROFITEERS. People of That Far -Off Time Com- plained of Inflated Prices. The high cost of living was just as much a problem in Elizabethan times as It is to -day. The Rev. William Har- rison, as quaint a gossip' as Pepys, and equally gifted as a chronicler, complained that magistrates in his day winked at merchants who charged more for commodities than they were permitted by law to charge. In that day, as in this, "bodgers"—this de- lightfully descriptive word is of the dominie's own coining—were allowed veto burn up corn and raise the price of it; to carry it home unsold, or to a distant market, if they want more money than the buyer likes to pay; r • nay, they've leave t o export it for the benefit of enemies abroad, so as to make more profit." During the world war there was much talk of certain people who de- liberately destroyed carloads of pota- toes, cabbages, and other vegetables and foodstuffs tin order to raise the prices of these commodities.

Weird Tale of "Wandering Jew" Has Been Revived in Russia. Reappearance of the "Wandering Jew" is told in stbries emanating re - gently from Russia. The last previous appearance of the "Wandering Jew" was' in Brussels, 145 years ago, and since that time the mythological stories of the ancient Hebrew travel- ing the world over since the cruciflion of Christ, have been unheard. The sad fate of the Ioquacious He- brew seen in Belgium 145 years ago. aroused much sympathy among the people. He soon disappeared and was not heard of again until the world war brought his resurrection in Rus- sia a few years ago. According to the traditions of the "Wandering Jew," Jesus was being dragged forth to the crucifixion, and as he passed through Pilate's 'door, a young porter struck him on the back and cried. "Go quicker. Jesus; go quicker! Why do you loiter?" Whereupon Jesus answered, "I am going and you will wait until I re- turn?" At that time Cartaphilus, tbo porter who struck Jesus, was thirty years old, and, says the myth, each time he reaches the age of 100 he re- turns to the age of thirty and begins over again, It is declared that Cartaphilus first lived in Armenia. In 1542, it is al- leged, the "Wandering Jew" appeared in Germany, under the name of Ahas- uerus. Later, in 1579, he appeared in Holland, and a little later in Stras- bourg. The jew was next heard of in the West Indies^and then in France. The stories of his appearance being barefooted, with long hair, clad- in a petticoat and mantle, seem to have been, corroborated by the various countries he has frequented.

Mankind on the whole has act in- stinctive dislike to reptiles of every kind and degree; yet of the four families into which the older natural- ists divided 'thein --the saurian, ophi- dian, batrachian, and chelonian—each affords,eustenai o to man, civilized or savage. So in some parts of the world it is a "cut from the alligator," not "from the joint," and a clarity waiter may bawl his order of "Boiled snake— oue!" A peculiarly dainty and nourishing dish is made with the iguana, the flesh of which is as white as that of a chicken and just as palatable; al- though the appearance of the reptile, with its scaly, black -spotted green coat, is more repulsive than either crocodile or alligator. To the inhabi- tants of the West Indies and the 13a- hamas the iguana is a much -valued source of food, and is hunted down by means of dogs, which are muzzled to prevent them using their teeth and damaging the iguanas, which are sold alive, or killed, salted and barreled for home consumption. The flesh of the reptile is usually served up boiled or steamed, together with a dish of clarified iguana fat, sometimes season- ed, into which the very savory meat is dipped as it is oaten. The eggs of the iguana are also much relished, and are like hens' eggs in taste, but Iwholly filled with yolk and do not be- come hard in boiling. The horrid ! iguana of San Domingo is much ap- preciated by the bons vivants in the West Indies, the flesh tasting just like roebuck's, although infinitely more de- licate. Africans Like Green Lizards. The common green lizard is eaten with much gusto by many tribes in Africa; and in the south of Portugal the gray lizard is eaten, both baked and fried, the dish in both instances tasting rather like chicken, In Brazil a green -and -yellow snake is consumed by all classes; while among the Sar- dinians the adder is frequently added to broths and soups. Crocodile flesh is publicly sold In the meat markets of Senaar, in Africa, and in Siam one sees the carcasses hung up for sale like sheep in the butchers' shops. The flesh of this great aquatic lizard tastes somewhat like -veal, although to Occidentals it has a faint fishy smell. In South America the cayman, or alligator, af- fords a dish, when boiled or dried, which is said to be just as tasty as rabbit. Turtle Ponds of the Amazon. A single turtle of the Amazon is a heavy load for a strong man; but though much larger than the Carib- bean species, it is coarser in flesh. At Ega every house has its turtle pond, which is stocked for the winter when the Amazon runs low. There are severa(excellent methods of pre- paring turtle for the table. The Bra- zilians cut steaks from the breast and roast them. On the continent the tortoise takes the place of the turtle, where the rep- tiles are fattened on bread and let- tuce leaves, that is to say, in normal times. The mud tortoise is preferred In Provence and Languedoc, where, as in Italy anti Greece, its blood is drunk, and its eggs and flesh are cooked to satisfy the Lenten hunger of the de- vout, the tortoise being considered by the clergy as a fish. Of the batrachians used as food, the frog is the most popular and most his- torical; the French, Germans, Ital- ians and Belgians, all being noted throughout the centuries for their frog -eating proclivities. The frog is in best condition for the table in the autumn, just before it takes to the water for the winter, but is most popular as food during the spring, for it is then easier to catch. The Frenchusuallyeat onlythe i l e h nd uar- q iltter in flavor than a chieken. The epooles In favot' for table purposes Is that known as the green frog, though the red frog, Mittel oaten In Italy, is just as good. There is no doubt what - over that the toad is often served in place of tate frog In countries 'here frogs are much. used. Where Rear's Flesh. Is Eaten. But there are many tastes in the dietary of tete nations. in many parts of Europe bear's flesh is 10 great de- mand, even in normal times, being es- teemed a great delicacy; and smoked bear's tongue and hams are also high- ly prized. From bear liver are made sausages dear to the stomach of the Teuton. Tiger flesh is eaten la many parts of India, though it is somewhat tough and sinewy. Lion's flesh is very good to eat, we are told, and much in favor among the Hottentots and other South African tribes, who are also as fond of rhinoceros as any good Occidental is of a good steak. Rhinoceros flesh is said to taste something like beef and pork' blended. If we were hard pressed for a new animal food,it would time i 1 be a long n before bats were" chosen for a desir- able addition to the table; but the French in Tahiti and other islands of that group find the "flying fox," a bat measuring some fifteen inches across the wings, an especially edible ani - malt CHOLERA INFANTUM Cholera infantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months, and unless prompt action is taken little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby's Own Tab- lets are en ideal medicine in warding Off this trouble. They regulate. the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus prevent all the dreaded summer complaints. They are an absolutely safe medicine, being guaranteed by a government analyst to contain no opiates or narcotics or other harmful drugs. They cannot possibly do harm —they always do good.

Property wasto due to deterioration and decay in Canada constitutes a problem of paramount and far reach- ing importance. Continuation of the present tre- mendous loss vitally affects the econo- mic future of the country. If with the cessation of war, we are to enter successfully upon a period of recon- struction and expansion it is impera- tive that conservation go hand in hand with development. It is as necessary to conserve created wealth as it is to prevent waste of national resources. Nature in time may restore devastated forest areas but it takes human labor to raise anew or repair property that has decayed from lack of protective paint. Tbis work absorbs energies that would otherwise be devoted to industrial• and economic progress. Paint for preservation is absolutely essential to the Conservation of prop- erty YES! MAGICALLY!
