PECULIAR HORSES.
Th?y Have Little Hair and Eat Butter
and Sugar With Flour,
Tbo greatest |ieciillnrlty of the Tur
koman breed of horses Is their huir
lessuess. They have mi tu rally very
little iiiiiiiv. and what I hey have In al
wny* carefully cut olT. Their sklu la
very soft and thin. Colonel Stewart la
"Through Persia In Disguise" tells of
the great en re taken of these animals.
Tbey are never stabled. but picketed
in the open. They lire, however, warm
ly clothed. First the Turkoman puts
over Ills animal a thick felt body cov
erlug of tbe size that nn Kuglisb horso
wears. Over this he fastens nn im
mense piece of felt that covers tlio
horse's ears and his whole body dowu
to his hocks This clothing be keeps
in place witb a ioiir roller, wblcb is
passed three times rouud tbe horse's
body.
Tbe Turkomans feed Ihelr horses
when In camp on barley or chopped
straw and give theui Hour and sheep's
tail fat ur clarllled butter when tbey
are golug to call ou them for great ex
ertion. I myself In India have often
given uiy horses a pound encb of Hour
and coarse sugar and half n pound of
clnrltled butter made Into bulls when 1
have ridden them far and wuuted them
to go ou again. Tbe horse easily di
gests this ration, and be Is ready to
start sooner than If a feed of com Is
given him. It is also supposed to give
great strength.
Turkoman* give their horses almost
anything they eat themselves. Al
though hardy in respect of food, the
horses require a good deal of cure as
to clothing, for Due coats and delicate
skins make them very susceptible to

Br RUTH GRAHAM
Every out* Id tbc little flsblrig village
of W. know Jane Baxter and her his
tory. When she was n girl of eighteen
a young man darned Corwlth Cnine
from the city for tho purpose of en
Joylug what was to tlio men of tho
town work, but to him sport. Jane
Baxter was a pretty girl with a rosy
cheek and a laughing eye. Corwlth
found less pleasure In tishlng thau In
her company.
Before he loft \V., Corwlth had mar
ried Jane Baxter, tie took bcr away
with hlin, tint tn a few months she re
turned n changed girl. The bloom had
gone out of her cheek, the sparkle from
tier eye. the smile from her lips. She
said that her husband bad quarreled
with her and told ber that their mar
riage was no marriage lit all and If she
didn't believe Mm to look at tier mar
riage certificate. She did so and found
all those parts that should have been
tilled lu with Ink were wanting. .
She was not only astonished, but ap
palled. She had been handed the cer
tificate after the ceremony by the
clergyman who had married her. had
glanced at It aud seen that It had been
tilled In. Could It be that her hushnnd
had stolen the origlnui and left a sub
stitute? It made no difference to her
what he had done slnco he now repu
diated her. Without a word she went
back to the home she had left, re
sumed ber inalden name nnd lived as
a woman whose life bad been blighted.
By doing this she gnve up any chances
that might have existed of proving that
she had been legally married. This
was doubly imfortunnte. for after her
return she gave birth to a sou, whose
Interests lu the matter were Identical
with hers, fie grew up under the
name of Baxter and with a stain rest
ing upon him that the boy realized at
an early age.
From his birth his grandfather, the
fisherman. John Baxfer. for whom ho
was named, tool; tho little chap into
his heart and resolved to do all In hts
power to give him on education. .So
the old man worked hard and saved
much of whnt he earned and the lad
was sent to school. He developed a
taste for the sciences, and ft was de
termined to send him to the scientific
department of a university.
When he enme home after being
graduated, while talking with his
mother about his and her future, she
thought It best to tell him the story
of her marriage, which was on her
part real: though she believed It to be
Illegal. Shortlv after this dialogue he
asked his mother If she still rctnlned
the blank certificate she had received,
tiding to a closet, she brought out Jl
tin box In which she kept receipts, took
from It the certificate anil handed It to
John He looked at It carefully and
was about to hand It back to her when
he changed his mind and put It In his
pocket, saying that he would return It
later.
Tiie young man . went back to the
university to fit himself for an assist
ant professorship in analytical eheinls
trv lie had with him the blank cer
tificate his mother had given him and
examined It with a microscope. The
paper showed evidence of a slight
warping in those parts where there
should have been writing, though with
out the aid of the lens It seemed peW"
fectly smooth. The Idea at once oc
curred to the yonng scientist that the
blanks had been filled in with an Ink
that was manufactured purposely to
fade He began an Investlcatlon as to
what substances could be made to
look like Ink nnd inter leave no trace.
Ills studies bad taught him that lo
dine gin e promise of furnishing a base
for such a writing fluid. Possibly this
wns suggested to him from Its violet
hne. the color of some Inks. At any
rnte. he entered upon n series of experi
ments which led to an lin|>ortant dis
covery. He found that Iodine combined
with starch ilodine of starch* would
produce an Ink that would ? few
weeks fade away, leaving no trnce
The question now arose. Could sucn
nn Ink be restored? Upon Inquiry the
young mnn learned thnt no agent had
ever been found to brine book Its color.
Fie made ninny experiments with this
end In view, bnt they nil failed.
Then he had recourse to tho micro
scope. lie tried various powers, and nt
Inst hit upon one. neither too high nor
too low, which brought out the Inden
tation on the paper made by writing of
letters making up a ccrtlflcnte between
Nathaniel Corwlth and Jane Baxter by
Edward Wvnkoop. Giving his results
to nn attorney, ho was advised to find
Edward Wynkoop. The clergyman had
died, but John Corwlth fouqd his name
nn the records of the theological sem
inary where he had been educated and
various churches of which he had been
pastor. The fact of his having used an
Ink that would fado could only be ex
plained by the theory that It had been
foisted on him surreptltloualy by the
mnn he had married.
John Corwlth found that his father,
who had recently died, had not tnken
nnother wife and had left a snug for
tune, which was about to pass to the
children of the dead man's brother as
heirs nt law, there being no will. By
means of the certificate of mnrrlafe he
established his mother's claim to the
property, but sho would never accept
a penny of It except for her sou.
But John required nothing to make
him comfortable, for he became emi
nent In his profession nnd found It
profitable.
