ROAMED THIS CONTINENT 2,000,- 000 YEARS AGO. • Spread Oyer the World, ExceptAus- tralla-OurModern Horses Come From Spanish Stock. How would you like to own a horse sixteen inches high? it would surely make a nice pet. One inight hitch a pair to a child's 0011 wagon, Prof. llenl'y Fairfield OsbOhl, vbo knows more about the subject than anybody else, says that the four -toed horses that roamed this coptlnet 2,- 000,000 years ago were of about that size. They grazed in. herds rich doubtless often numbered thousands, and relied upon their fleetness of foot to elude their enemies. They were delicately built creatures, their limbs as slender as pencils.the Speaking with .definite accuracy, . Y Mut four toes on each fore foo and three on each hind foot. Each these fourteen toes terminated in a little 'hoot. 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 Lands and other lodalities where they are so distributed through roclry strata at successive geologic forma- tions as to tell thoir own story, as one might read it in a book. thinks it Professor Osborne thi r alto- gether likely that the earliest of all horses had five thee 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 threLl-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 cat the hoof) of its middle toe, 13ut, if its legs bo dis- sected, there -will be found two small splinters of bone above, on either side, beneath the flesh. These are rudiments—Le., all that remain of two toes that have gradually shrunk and almost disappeared. In all, eleven species o1 these ante- diluvian horses have been dug up, the richest deposits of their bones being in central Oregon and in high bluffs along the backs 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, all the way from Alaska to 1'..sagonla. Making their way (it is supposed) across the land bridge which ancient- ly united Alaska with Asia, they •spread all over the world, except Aus- tralia. Thus it appeals that'the horse orig- inated on this continent. But what be- came of it here? It must have ceased to 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, wall 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 00n- 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• domiilie's own coining—were allowed "to burn up corn and raise the price of it; to carry it home unsold, or to a distant market, if they want emote money than the buyer likes to pay; nay, they've leave to 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 in order to raiee the prices of these commodities. Same pld story. There's nothing new. After all, about the only thing that is true is that there is no new thing under the sun . Like the poor, the • profiteer is always with us. King of Bad Writers.

So in some Deets ot the world it Is a "cut from the alligator," not "from the joint," and a Barky waiter may bawl his order of "Boiled snake— one!" ' 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 Ba- hamas the iguana is a muelevalued source of food, and is huuted down by insane of dogs, which are muzzled to prevent thetii using their teeth and damaging the iguanas, which are sold alive, or killed, salted and barreled for home co gumption. 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 eaten. The eggs of the iguana are also much relished, and are like hens' eggs in taste, but wholly 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 oaten with much gusto by many tribes in Africa; and in the south of Portugal the gray lizard is eaten, sboth 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, at fords a dish, when boiled or dried, which is said to be just as tasty as rabbit.

Weird Tale of "Wandering Jew” Has Been Revived in Russia. Reappearance of the "Wandering Jew" is told in stories emanating re- cently 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 aruciiiion 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 Rlta- sia a few years ago. According to the traditions of the "Wandering Tew," Jesus was being. dragged forth to the crucifixion, and as he passed through Pilate's door, a young porter struck him an 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, the 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 00 Ahas- uerus. Later, in 1579, he appeared in Holland, and a little later in Stras- bourg. The jaw was next' beard 01 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 be has frequented.

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 several excellent methods of pre- paring turtle for the table. The Bra- zilians cut steaks from the breast and roast thein. 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 tines. The mud tortoise is preferred in Provence and Languedoc, where, as in Italy and 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 batracll'ians 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.eathlg 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 thea easier to catch. The French usually eat Only the Bind quar- ters, dressed in wino or served with a white sauce, when it is an exceed- ingly dainty and nourishing dish, To save . sugar dissolve it in hot water before adding to any 'beverage.

Shut Out Air, Retain Moisture, to Keep in Condition. To keep silage in good condition the air must be shut out and the moisture retained, The silo walls, therefore, should be both air and water tight. All other farm buildings require a der' Min amount of care and repair, and so does the silo. By painting the wooden stave silo on the outside with a good grade of paint, and using some preservative, such as creosote, on the inside, the wood should last many years, remain waterproof and in good condition. Tire interiors of all concrete silos require waterproofing with a cement - wash, or some waterproofing cont- pound at the time of construction, and usually every few years afterward. This fills up the pores, sealing the wall so that it will be air -tight. One of the cheapest methods of waterproof- ing the silo ie simply to Ilse a creamy paste of cement applied over the en- tire inside surface with a whitewash brush. PAINT FOR PRESERVATION.

If with the cessation of war, we are to enter successfully upon a period ler recon- strection 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 intitile may restore devastated forest areas but it takes human labor to raise anew or repair property that has decayed from lack of protective paint. This work absorbs energies that would otherwise be devoted to in.dnstrial and economic progress.
