Mr. M. Danzer, a well-known || ™
Hungarian writer on military af.!
fair*, has just published in one of j
the Journals of Pcsth an interesting
article on tfie part that the Russian
tiV'aWiijlr^cstinefj tp play in piny
InUire' European war. It appear*
that the Russian government pos
sesses a million horses lit for mili
tary service, and that it is making
preparations which will enable it to
put 300,000 cavalry soldiers in the
field. The Russian officers have no
faith in the cayalry tactics now
taught in Europeln armies. The
Hermans, they say, tire out their
horses and 111 treat their men by
teaching them a science that is
useless, in battle; for the cavalry
jfiiHlogE!s!tll> ,j)fc*«nt day
who would attempt to charge
squares and attack masses of in
fantry would be considered a luna
tic. The deadly effect of modern
firearms renders the old tactics ut
terly useless. Therefore it is a
pure waste of lime and money to
train horscB and instruct men in
drills that arc without value. The
cavalry charge, the saber and the
lance have had their day; the horse
can now further utility than that of
of transporting men with greater
rapidity. Tho Russian cavalry of
the future will use only repeating I
firearms of the most modern pattern.
They will be simply mounted in
fantry, and will light on Toot, the ]
horses being employed for trans- ,
portation only. In the opinion of
Russian military officers this meth
od will facilitate the rapid concen
tration of fresh troops at a given
point. The Russian cavalry are now
armed with the Rerdan rifle, and
their drill is much simplified. The
-soldier is only taught to be a good
horseman. Three hundred thous
and men rapidly thrown upon the
western frontier of Kusiu could in
terfere with the mobilization oftlie
opposing armies, hinder their con
ccntration, spread terror in the vil
lages a id towns, capture supplies
and destroy railroads. It will
doubtless be some considerable
time before Russia can finish her
network of railroads which will be
necessary for the o-.iuplete execu
tlon of this project; but she already
lids 120,000 cavalry soldiers, while
Austria has only 52,000, and Her-
many but 68,000.“And,” continues
Mr. Panzer, ‘‘although emperors
kings, grand dukes, princes and
diplomats may visit each other, cn
jov each other's society, and em
brace each other on occasion, noth
ing can diminish tho universal sus-
p'cion whichMiolds populations in
constant dread of some horrible
butchery. This fear is the creation
ol flerniauy, this work so eminen
tly conservative, this constant pre
paration of all against all, this ter
rible niglitmrrc, this pacific alli
ance."
Horses require water as much as
do men, and should have it every
live or six miles, if the weather is
warm. 1 f tho horse is very much
overheated, just before coming to
a watering place,say a quarter of a
mile or so before, ‘‘bIow up” to a
walk, and when you get to where
you can give the horse water he
will have become cooled off consid
erably; then, too, lie should have
IiIb mouth sponged out, and about
a half a bucket full of water. Noth
ing refreshes a tired, jaded horse us
muck as a drink of water, and if he
has it at regular intervals he will
keep up over a long distance. He
van do much better, for a whole
day and over a loug journey, with
out lood than without water. If
this item of watering was more
carefully attended to, we would
hear of fewer eases of horses being
overcome with the heat during the
warm summer months.

The rubber Industry ot the Unit
ed States has no rival in foreign
countries. There arc about f7ft,-
1100,000 invested in the manufact
uring ol rubber goods, $30,000,000
of which are eonlined to the rubber
boot and shoe industry. The num
ber of employes is 16,000 and the
number or factories 120. Accord
ing to a recent census bulletin the
value of the annual product is
$250,000,000. Some 30,000 tons
of raw rubber uic imported every
year, which when combined with
other materials in manufacturing
amount to 300,000 Ions. Raw
material lias been forced up to $1.26
per pound, while six years ago 1
the price was scarcely fifty cent*.
Several substances have been pre
pared as substitutes for rubber, of
which celluloid is the most Ini pnr-
tanl one.
Absence of mind: “Yes, Charlie
is a good enough sort of fellow,”
remarks Tom; “but then be is so
confoundedly absent-minded! He
borrowed five doliara of me the
other dav, and when he called at
my place to return the money,
blowcd if ho didn’t forget what he
came for and actually borrowed an
other llvor.”
Merit Recognized.—We observe
