' Fore Feet of a Horse.
It's a funny thing," said the old
animal trainer, "but you can't train a
horse to walk on his fore feet because
he ain't built that way. Take tbe dog
or cat animals aud they'll not only
walk on their fore feet, but they will
go up and down stairs with' their bind
legs In the air. It's a llttlo harder to
teach than walking on tbe bind feet
but it is merely a matter of patience
and of knowing how, but get a horse
off his bind legs and you have a lame
horse . Dozens of trainers have spoiled
from "one to twenty horses apiece try
ing for Je trick, but the nearest any
one ever came to it was an English
trainer who had a jackass that could
stjiy tnprajlttle whllef but even the
Jact was "stralncS and soon hT toTe
destroyed, norses taken Into upsTalrl
theaters will go up the steps jns ogtle
as cats, but when they" cbme down
they have to be backed down. That's
one reason why horses used in hill
work break down so quickly. It's not
the long, bard pull uphill; It's tbo hold
ing back going down." New York Sun,
The Garden of Eden.
In some of his lectures Professor
Robert W. Rogers of Drew Theological
leminnry expressed bis opinion ou the
location of the garden of Eden. He
thinks that the garden of Eden was
somewhere in the region lying between
the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. In
an address before tbe Harlem branch
of the Y. M. 0. A. some years ago be
said: . .
"When tbe search for the holy grail
ceased In the middle ages the human
mind took up tbe problem of the loca
tion of tbe garden of Eden., .This has
been put in many places Armenia..
Utopia, Atalantls (tbe prehistoric con
tinent) and equatorial Africa. Chris
topher Columbus thought that Vene
auela was the place, and because there
la an Adam's peak on the Island of
Ceylon others have put the garden
there. It has alSo been found fa Pal
estine and at the north pole." "
Immense Coet ef Reman Feasts.
The amount of money often expend
ed by the wealthy Romans on their
sumptuous meals appears fabulous. '
Vltelllus Is said to have spent as much
as 404 scstertia (about 4,223 of Eng
lish money) on his dally supper, and .
the celebrated feast to which -he in-'
rited his brother coBt no less ' than
40.350. It consisted of 2.000 different
dishes of fish and 7,000 of fowls, with
other equally numerous meats. Hla,
dally food was of the most rare and
exquisite nature. The deserts of Lybl a
the shores of Spajn the waters of tjje

and foryst j of jSvitpJn" were diligently

Must Have Tired Hie Jaw.
It might be well for those who adopt
the one meal a day system to become
chewers at the same time. A cbewer,
according to dietetic experts, Is one
who chews ail things so long as they
bnve any taste left In them. Olad
stbhoT it l3.recornd, ured to take
thirty-two biteTTo every mouthful of
food. This would be considered dan
gerously rapid eutlng by the modern
school . of chewers. ,"I have tried
chewing conscientiously," writes Eus
tace Miles. "A banana has cost 800
bites, a small mouthful of bread and
cheese 240 bites, a greedy mouthful of
biscuit' (while I was walking ' on at
Yorkshire moor) more than a thousand
bites. It still seemed to taste about
as much as at first, but I knew that
taste by then, so I wallowed." Lon
