It was Mohammed himself who said (or at least so the Manchester Guardian tells us), "The money that one spends on horses is in the eyes of God an alms that one makes at one's own cost." There is something rather mystical about this saying. At first glance it seems to mean: "He who buys horses is lending money to the Lord." There may be, however, a sort of joker in the phrase, implying that he who buys horses impoverishes . hilnself, and therefore acquires the merit of him who gives away all his money. But there is 4 clue to Moham med's meaning in another utterance of his which is this: "Weal is in the forelock of horses until the Day of Judgment." The Eastern world and a' great part of Africa .could never have been con verted to Islam if it had not been for the Arab horse. On his back the Arab lode to conquest in the name of the Prophet, through Syria, Persia, Egypt, all North Africa and most of Spain, so that within a hundred years after the Prophet's death half the known world was Myssulman. The Arab horse mighe 'well be numbered among the apostles of Islam, and upon his main tenance in swiftness and strength de pended, no doubt the future fate of the Arab kingdom, and caliphate. It was 'only when Europe had horses as gcod as those of Arabia that Christi anity began to make headway against Mohammedanism. And yet it is funny-the Arab horse was not an original Arabian product. In the days before Christ the Arabs traveled exclusively on camels. The horse now called Arabian is supposed to have originated on the Libyan des ert in North Africa, from which it passed to Egypt and eventually to Arabia. Europe always had horses in some shape, but they were very stocky, logy, lumbering creatures, fit to draw iron chariots, which were the -tanks of the ancient, but not fit for a gentleman or a first-class bandit to ride. It took the sandy deserts to breed that kind of a horse, and some how Libya manged to do it. It must be confessed that the horse of that type, as we know him now, has got the hot, sandy desert out of his blood very well. The -Morgan horse of Ver mont is only a slight modification of the Arab horse-so slight that Homer Davenport's stallion, Haleb, brought straight from the Syrian desert, took the prize at the Vermont State fair at Rutland as the animal nearest in all lines to the typical Morgan. Fancy the difference in the climate and condi tions between Vermont and the Libyan desert! And yet the Morgan horse, was happy and healthy in Vermont; there was never a creature that stood a temperature of 40 degrees below zero more cheerfully than he, or ever ::prang more blithely through five feet of snow. The explanation of this capacity for acclimatization (which the donkey and mule do not possess), probably lies in the wonderful and indomitable spirit of the horse, an animal which, though it pretends to be as' timid as a rabbit, is really daunted by noth in'r on earth, and which would hold up its head probably in hell if it had ever done anything that would entitle it to go there. The horse will run away at the turning of a leaf in the wind; but it will leap to death at the com miandl of its master. Though created for play; and knowving that he is createdl for play, the horse wvill accept a life of abject toil and will show an unflagging spirit of zeal in that toil, as though it wer all that lhe dlesiredl in life. A mian may aspire to possess the various virtues, and wvill call in r'eligion to hellp him, and then he will not acquire one-half the virtues that his horse has by inheritance and in stinct. A man may see his better self in his horse as in a mirro. The Arab horse and his various off spring, the dlescendants possess more virtues, pr'obably, than any other breed of horses. The big, hulking horses that we have dlevelopedl for heavy tasks, or to pull coaches, are < ften~ surly, tricky, and mean-spirited. They are the kickers, biters, halter pullers and balkers. The Nomad nev cr heard of any of these vices in any of the Morgan horses among wvhom he was brought up. The Nomad has never been in Arabia, but he enjoyedl a thorough acquaintance with the stud of Arab horses that Ilomer Davenport l'rought from Aleppo, and he has had some contach with horses elsewhere, and1( he never heard or saw one that had a vice. They are gentje, though splirted, and though under tile saddle or the harness they will caracole and somletimles r'ear, they do this only for show, andl are easily controlledl. They have a keen interest in the doings and dlisposit ion of the humans about them anad are quick and- responsive in their sympathy. It is an old saying that. it t akes~ a mean man to make a mean o rse. Really, it dioesn't always, for 'or'ses vary in their natural d isposi tions as mieni do, though without de. scendli ng to human diepths. Hut one thing miust' be clear-the character of the Arab horse speaks well for the charmacter of the Armab of the dlesert. The N onmad in Boston Transcriplt.
