MILES OF HORSES
Horse an Unequalled Menace
to Health
In these cities', science lay thousand
of deaths each year, Moreover, it l
clulmcd that American citiei would
be comparatively free from disease
were it not for flies, of which the
horse ii the chief attraction.
"The niffiiificant conclusion of
scientific men," says the Applcton
article, "1 that the horse, being the
principal source of dust, disease,
Kerms and flies in the cities, is there
fore, one of the chief' causes of the
abnormal death rate in'modcrn muni
cipalities." In addit'on to this sani
tary arrnit(nmcnt of the horse a hevy
economic bill is charged fluainst him.

A SIGNIFICANT ' CONCLUSION
Alone on Account of Hit Attracting
Flies.
York alone is nearly $1,500,000 annu
ally. Far more important it the
estimate which adds twenty-five per
cent, to the cost of vegetables, fruit,
meat and other supplies in the city
which he hauls. , .
Altogether the horses in New York
City if hitched one in front of the
other would form a line more than
190 miles in length, while the horse
all the cities of the country if
stretched in one line head to tail
would extend more than 4,700 miles,
or front the Atlantic to the Pacific
' NKW YORK, April 17.-Within
the cities comprising the metropolitan
population of 30,000,000 persons in the
United States, there are according to
the latest equine census 2,936,881
homes and 173.988 mules; a total of
3,110,789 or one quadruped for each
ten persons in tt he district described.
While the horse has been called the

man, inn vast nuniucr oi nis species,
according to Applcton's magazine,
ustitutes a menace to human health
which should be abolished without
delay. "The greatest enemy of muni
cipal civilization," it the charge that
is brought against the horse in this
indictment, and the claim is backed
up by a surprising array of figures,
"If any species of wild animal at
large in the American metropolis an
nually caused the death of thousands
of people," lays the Applcton article,
"the beasts would be exterminated no
matter how valuable to the owners
they might be." The assertion it
made, based upon scientific research,
that the horse in the city is one of
the chief causes of disease and should
be eliminated. In New York alone
more than $6,000,000, according to the
figures of the Health Department, is
tpent annually to offset thte presence
of the horse. More than 20,000
deaths a year are laid at bit door, in
New York alone, it being pointed out
that as a cause of dust and an attrac

ought to have been, and might have
been avoided. j
The trouble with many of us isj
that we think too meanly of ourselves.
Our sordid aims, and material, selfish j
ambitions, have so lowered our stand-!
ards that we think downwards instead
of upwards, we grovel instead -of
soaring.
Our lives are materialistic, selfish,
greedy, because we live in the base of
our brains, down among the brute
faculties. We have never explored to
any great extent the upper regions
of our brain, never developed our
higher intelligence. in Success Magazine.
