Montreal, Aug. 3. Should (reat Britain become embroiled in the threatened Kuropean war, Canada will spiendid position to do her probably a greater share othey of the British over- sear dominions, toward supplying cavalry chargers and remounts for the army It is estimated that if a de- mand were made by the war office this within thirty days, could sup- than 1,000 olilicers' charg- animals by registered and 20,000 Lroop- that Canada would still be able to supply 3,500 selected horses every month While the latter would not be by registered thorough: bred sires, they would all be good sound horses, fit for any campaign This splendid showing for Canada would undoubtedly prove of the great. est possible value to Great Britain in case of war, and would give her a great advantage over any other Furo pean country, which would probably bave to depend upon her home supply of horses, with the result that tre- mendous demand would mea ot of inferior animals at a time'when Wood be nm a share, and than any country, ply no leas ers, all. ioe thoroughbred sires, ers' horses.

From one end of Uanadan to the other se- leeted thoroughbred stallions have { been placed, and have provided a crop tof the right kind of colts, many' of which are now at just the right age to carry the accoutrements of war Ten months ago the National Bureau and the National Live Stoek Exéhanges, which handle the re- mounts for the British army, start- ed taking a horse census for use in just such an emergency as that now threatening, at the request of the 1 oe office I'he latter wanted to | was 1 Lo formation of the which now Know how long it would take in Canada to get 10,000 troop horses and how many could be as- gsembled in twent This remount y day censu was only few weeks ago, so that authorities now know not only the pumber of Cana#ffan horses avail- able, but exactly "ow and where to get them, so that the work of mobi lizing them could be started at once on instructions Irom either Ottawa or London Not only has this census been tak- jen of the available horses in Can- ada, even as far north as the Peace river, but figures have been receiv- | ed from New York state, Missouri, Wyoming, Texas, Montana, Keu- tucky, and the Dakotas. The horses would be assembled at Fredericton, N.B.; Montreal, Pete- iwa, Toronto, Winnipeg, and at 1¢ Red Deer River Ranch in Al- rta, most of the troop horses be- ing collected at the latter place. Every breeder of half'breed ohargers in Canada," said an officer of the Bureau vesterday, "is a scout on the lookout for suitable troop horses-.and thera are 4,000 such breeders' now in Cannda. There was never anything ljke such a system in Canada before. Probably better re- & would be shown in a couple of years from now, but we are in a pogitio to do real service no | when war breaks out." Red Deer Ranch, leased government to the National Live Stock Exchange, comprises 65, - 120 acres, reached by the C. P. and the company is putting in facili- | ties for loading these remounts, while it is pledged to give the Cana- dian Militia «department first call, and second choice to England for all! its remounts.

The Turkish lan- guage, strange as it may seem, has fio characters of its own, and Turkish books are usually printéd with Arabic or Greek charactérs. Hence the ex- citement in reli circles here on the the Koran for the first time in thé Turkish vernacular. The transiaiion has been done by Idrabim Bey 'Hilmy, a learned Orien- tal, who, by giving Turks an oppor- tunity of expressing their religious sentiments in their own mother tongue, will doubtless be suitably rewarded by both church and state. Most Moslems hold that no reli- gious services are valid unless said in Arable, the sacred language of the Koran, and thus we have shieks aud preachers in India, Persia, China and Afghanistan learning texts of the Koran by heart, without always understanding the/ meaning of the sounds they produce. The Sheik-ul-Islam ai Constanti- nople has heretofore prohibited the publication of the Koran in the ver- pacular on the plea that, since no translater could strictly comform to the original, he would. be sure to make mistakes, and these mistakes would be sacrilege. In this the Sheik has usually been supported by the Prime Minister, and the young Turks, who, in spite of the liberal ideas on religion that seme of them are known to entertain, ean- uot go against popular feeling on so important a matter. But it seems that Ibrahim Bey Hilmy, who is master of both Arabic and Turkish, to say nothing of Persian, Hebrew and Greek, has produced a transia- tion which the leaders of Islam by a majority applaud. Thus is it that the sacred traditions of centuries is broken. Nine out Famous After Death. Great men's works are seldom ap- preciated until years after their death. While displaying unusual powers or ability they have often heen the subjects of ridicule and persecution. History is replete with the hardships discoverers of great truths endured during their lifetime. Harvey, the discoverer of the eir- culation of the blood, lost his prae- tice and was lampooned over the then civilized world. Bartholin, whe discovered the lacteals, was treated with contempt and ridicule. Even Harvey, when he became old, never believed in the thoracic duct, but hélieved the lacteals all terminated in the liver. Horace saw his odes despised. Elizabeth regarded Bacon as an un- sound speculative genius and as in- capable of serving her with judg- Socrates, for teaching the unity of God, was compelled to drink hemlock and die. Pythagoras was cast into prison for dissecting a hu- man body. Every historian knows that Gallileo, at 70 years of age, was imprisoned for announcing the mo- tion of the earth. Aristotle's books were burned. Descartes was perse- cuted because' he taught the innate- ness of ideas; his books were burned by order of the University of Paris. It Is said of the Newtonian philoso- phy that "authority scowled upon it; taste was disgusted by it and fashion wae ashamed of it." Fate Pursued Him. More than one year ago a city offi- cial lent §4 to a man, and as the months passed by and the loan was not paid the city official gave up all hope of ever collecting the money. A day or two ago the official met the borrower. "Have you got $1?" inguired the borrower. "No," replied the official, anticipat- ing another * 'touch.' '"That is too bad," replied the bor- rower, holding out a five-dollar bill. 'T borrowed $4 from you, and I want- od to pay you back. But it doedn't Matter. I can give it to you-sqigy | other time." Curious Appetités. Therg are curious discrepancies in appetites for food. In France the people eat frogs and snails, and long years have not induced the English- man to love them. Rabbits are cher- ished on the French table, but ban- ned in Germany. Scotsmien will not eat the eel that are sold and esten in East London. And America has never paid homage to the goose as food. These internatiomsl discrepan- cies should surely be abolished by an international Hague conference of eating. It would probably take 4 moult jn the intervals. -- London Chrotiicle. How We Fall Asleep. It is not generally known that the body falls asleep in sections. The muscles of the legs .and arms lose their power long before those which support the head and these last soon- er than the muscles which sustain the back. The sense of sight sleeps first, then the sense of taste, next the sense of smell, next that of hearing and lastly that of touch. These are the resuits of careful and lengthy in- vestigation by a French scientist, M. Cabanis.--London Telegraph. All the Same to Him, It was the husband's afternoon eff, and he thought he would take the children for a iittle outing. "My dear," he said to his wife, "suppose we take the children to the x00 to-day." 'Why, dear, you promised to take them to mother's." - "All right, if it's all the same to the children."

You can bury yours, Fe The too sweet, amiable maf In public is generally a surely bear in his family. A married man who owns an an- tomobile is in a. position to acquire a lot of experience, ' In "China if a family desires to take gdvantage of the modern ime provements and ideas, it kas count less obstacles fo overcome. First of all, there is the conservative tradi- tional ruling of the Chinese family clan to be surmounted. The mem- bers of the elan may number several thousands, and no family is supposed to adopt an innovation unless the entire clan agree to the procedure. These native clans are presided over by certain elders, who possess arbi- trary. authority to dictate the policy of the clan. Their powers extend eve capital punishment. When they deem any project unwise or un- necessary for ome or two families of their entire clan, the matter is usual- ly settled and "sai upon" by their arbitrary rulings. .As these clgn elders are among the aged type of the Celestial, with astrophied mental processes as well as an utterly withered spirit of youth, they are always counted upon to remain on the siffe of well-sepson- ed Chines® precedent. The traditions of the native clans, like those of the family unit, are not considered matters of mere comven- fence. These traditions, in reality, possess the sanctity of a religion, It is simply another form of the ever- present ancestor worship. It is this latter which forms such a tremen- dously effective barrier against in- novation and ehange among the Mon- golians. When the parent of a family dies, it is not so much a matter of revep- ence for parental memory that keeps the living family members in the paths of righteousnéss which the parent was supposed to tread. rather a fear which the children possess of offending the evil spirits if one lone native should dare des part from the ways approved by h clan, the elders immediately work upon the superstitious fears of the more ignorant members. Thedb 1at- ter are fed with malicious insinua- tions to the effect that the grring one: who dares adopt anything new will surely bring a curse down upen the whole community: Thus it hag been that the constraint of one gen- eration has been handed down un- changed to those of successive ge. erations. As you travel about and observe the yellow man in his native en- vironment and see conditions at first hand, you are not surprised at the astounding and archaic conservatism of the Chinaman. It is indeed time for a great awakening, and our mis- sionaries, as usual, are in the van- guard promoting the doctrine of modern edueation. But the modern- izing of China is a tremendously hard nut to crack. About one of the most powerful levers to give China another jolt would be to introduce, -by some method, several hundred millions of bathtubs, with running water sye- tems attached. This invitation to wash their filthy bodies would give some of the old clan fossils such a severe shock that they could not possibly recover. It would be a great thing in China if a'lot of these with- ered clan elders could be induced to die from fright brought on by féar of a good, They - wouldn't continue progress as they now do. to block Anticipating Samson. An amusing incident occurred at a French theatre on the first night of the opera "Samson and Delilah." A ballet dancer having fallen ill, the second trombone's wife acted as substitute. Of ample proportions, the woman, owing to a false move- ment, lurched heavily against one of the main supports of the temple and in an instant precipitated the col- lapse of the edifice which Samson should bave brought about half an hour later. Samson and the Philis- tines and the members of the ballet were entombed in the debris of the temple. The audience applauded tumultuously. Two members of the chorus were badly injured. Making a Silk Dress. Im€S bave changed a good deal since the days of the Garden of Eden, when a single fig leaf was sup- posed to have been the wardrobe of the mother of men, Mme. Eve. Now- adays, Japanese scientists have figur- ed, it requires 288 pounds of mul berry leaves to make a single dress for the modern woman. Eighteen moths also do their part in making the dress, they having laid the eigh- teen packages of eggs from which were hatched the 6,400 worms that ate the 288 pounds of mulberry leaves. These wormigproduced about 5.6 pounds of cocoons, from which were reeled ten skeins of raw silk or 1.6 pounds of silk.
