EQUINE ARMY RECRUITS CAREFULLY PREPARED.

Qr«at French Cavalry School at Saumur Whoro Man and Chargar Aro Put Through Thorough Couraa of Lotaona. N'cw York—It rarhiy occur* to the areraKn i>hr»on what an lmt>Crtanl part for althoul well (rained, trustworthy hortes even the maentflrent cavalry and artillery of Prance and Germany would collapse, and the whole war mu chine come to a full stop. Thus It Is 100.000 a rear on her troop horses. Germany {£>70,000, and Great Britain {400.000. The great military nations, too, maintain state treed In* establishment*, as well they mar. seeing that on a war footing Imperial Germany Is supposed to put JOl.lOO horses on the battlPfleld. Prance :o:.040. Austria 105.196. Great iliitaln 100.000, and Russia the enormous number of 541.400. The exar'a vast Asiatic dominions yield an Inexhaustible supply of hardy animals for the Imperial'army. Very Interesting are those great establlsbmedts of the military powers fighting unit under the direct super-' vision of the genera] staff. This training of horse and man Is , seen In all Its perfection in the great French cavalry school at Saumur, which waa founded In the eighteenth century. Hither come all the amart young lieutenants from the great military school at SL Cyr. to learn equitation and‘horse training, as well as veterinary work, shoeing, saddle making and military telegraph. Here you will find a whole hierarchy of riding Instructors, captain-profes-sors, Jockeys, and trainers, -and the scene In the great practice ground Is vastly plctureaque. especially when officers and men of the Mohammedan North African regiments are In training with- their horses.

Some of them take the flash and report very quietly even at first and pass on to more severe trials. Others are very timid and require much patient and gentle treatment before they are broken. At laat. however, a 15-pounacr might be fired almost over their back and they would hardly flinch. After this they are taught to face fire, that Is. to gallop fearlessly up to a line of Infantry blazing away with their rifles. Curiously enough, many of tbe horses that would face guns firing black powder a few years back will now shy and grow terrified at Dash and roar not accompanied by smeke. There is something pathetic about tbe education of these faithful creatures. Tbe moat intelligent among them are selected for scooting work and develop n sagacity almos^uman.

In the FraneoGerman conflict at least 56.000 bones were killed, while in Napoleon's campaign beyond tbe Kiemen 65.000 out of 80.000 were either killed outright In battle or else succumbed tp wounds and sickness.
