The report says; “The investigations as to the musical sense of horses have showif that that sense fs very poorly develop ed in these animals. It lias been prov ed beyond doubt that horses have no notion whatever of keeping time to music, and 'that at circuses they do. not dance according to the tune, but that the musicians have to keep time according to the steps of the animals. “Other Investigations show that horses do not understand military trumpet signals. It, la only the rider or the animal's instinct of Imitation which induces horses tCf make the moves required by the signal, but no horse without a rider, however care- uliy trained, takes the slightest no ice of a trumpet signal, and the same observation has been made on a large number ef cavalry horses without riders.” V;.7\ FOR RENT—Several X to farms, close In.

PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN. .; v • A Number of Members Being Return ed Unopposed.

The I pendent Labor party has already cured more seats than It held In previous House of Commons. Foiling Is being held today in twent; districts, and ’ forty-eight provinc boroughs, returning In all save eight'members. ; : — ; •- I Gee! M you hats a mean i M ' ’ ’ l.-. the suggestion of several enterprising citizens, I take the liberty of address ing this communication through the Herald to the City Council. Item-lj The guard house, a wood en structure a fraction larger than the New Albany chicken coop, should be built out of briok, with three com partments, one 'or negroes,'one for females, and one for white people. The necessity often occurs to impris on in the present' building whites and blacks. They pan be seen in the hall way side by side, appealing to frienda and strangers to secure their release fropi ;6uclt a plan o(- imprisonment and detention, becaifsp. from cold und Improper sanitary surroundings, their Ijj.v . health is endangered. > • Item 2. The city pound, fchero mules owned by the city and stock impounded is now In such a condition that ah ordinary hog would suffer from exposure,' and if susceptible to pneumonia or la gHppe ills life would be endangered. Any'citizen can pass through Court House avenue now and from a careful Inspection of the ^prem ises he would see the mules now standing in the mud and slush. The mu<l in my opinion is now more than, six inches deep, and it Is beypnd the power of any society for, the preven tion of cruelty to animals to calculate the pain and bodily Injury to the stock to be Impounded, not estimating the damage from a monetary valua tion to them. Item 3. The wonderful growth of Albahy requires a new building, under which should be an office for the chief of police and’a place for the lockers of the entire police force. A comfortable stove should be placed therein, where the policemen could in the quiet hours Of night enter only for a few moments to warm themselves. At the same time, all the policemen at separate hours could bo required to report at the marshal’s office to perform any duties the nature of their offices require. -The necessity of this will be readily seen when an emergency telephone call is sent to police headquarters for Immediate, re sponse. Without employing an extra ,policeman it is, safe to predict that Should this be done, their presence would: Insure what other cities have reserve police force without extra expense.

The Famous Mamelukes. The mamelukes were a body of sol diers who ruled Egypt for several hun dred years. Their name Is derived from an Arab word which means slave, and they Werp originally captives from Caucasian countries. In the middle of the thirteenth century they were Intro duced Into Egypt as the sultan’s body guard, but upon the accession of Turnn Slinb, whom they bated, they over threw him and elected one of them selves In his place. For nearly 800 years they held the power thus usurp ed, and even when compelled to resign It they lmd fliueh Influence In Egypt. In 1811 nearly all the mamelukes were massacred by Mohammed All, and those who then escaped to Nubia were destroyed III 1820.
