DOESN’T TRUST HORSES.
Part Maniac aid Part Idiot !■ Will
One Man Call! Them.
I tiaic spent nuu-h of n lung life In
the observation of horses. I havt
reared them, broken them, trained
them, ridden them, driven them In ev
ery form from the plow to four-ln
hand. The result of these years of
study is summed up In one sentence—1
|>rllevc the horse to l>e part maniac
Olid part idiot. Every horse at some
time In his life develops Into a homi
cidal maniac. 1 believe any man who
trusts himself or Ills family to the
power of a horse stronger tlum himself
to lie lacking In common sense and
wholly devoid of ordinary prudence,
writes a Kentuckian to Huriier's Week
ly- I have driven nuc eommonplaee
horse every other day for six years
over the same road and then had him
go crazy and try to kill himself and
me beenuse a leaf fluttered down In
front of him. I have known scores of
horses, apparently trustworthy, appar
ently creatures of routine, go wild and
Insane over equally regular and recur
ring phenomena. No amount of ole
serration can tell when the brute will
break out. One mare took two gener
ations of children to school over the
eame quiet road and then In her nine
teenth year went crazy because a
rooster crowed alongside the road.
She killed two of the children. If any
one can tell me of one good reason
why man should trust a horse, I should
be glad to kuow.
'- v The Value of iinzlar,
From the medical standpoint singing
la a most important exerclac both by
virtue of Its Influence on the emotions,
on the respiratory movements and on
the development of the lungs. Nothing
better shows the liencflelnl effect of
Binging In developing the chest and
warding off the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development and free
dom from pulmonary disease among
professional singers. Their general
health, moreover. Is exceptionally good,
and this Is probably in a large meas
ure attributable to tbe mere exercise
of the calllug. It Is especially useful
in defective chest development ami In
chronic heart disease. Provided the
patient cau slug with comfort there Is
no condition In which alnglug Is con
tratndlcnted unless It be a tendency to
tuberculosis or nncnrlsmal haemoptysis.
It Is scarcely necessary to say that tbe
alnger should be so clad as to allow
absolute freedom of tbe chest move
ments, there should be no constriction
of the neck or waist, the collar sliould
be low and ample and the stays, if
worn, ample and loose.
Itui-ky Aiiitfrnph Album.
Probably the oddest and most pre
cious aulograph album that has ever
existed lies iii aii almost unknown eor-
ner of western New Mexico.
More than two centuries before our
Saxon forefathers penetrated the des
ert of tlie southwest tile Spanish pi
oneers, wandering through those lone
ly wilds, found a rock so noble and so
remarkable, even in n country of won
derful stone monuments, that they
called it "El Morn.” (The Castle).
Wishing to leave some record for fu
ture generations, they traced with the
|mdnts of their swords tlielr names up
on Its rough surface. Those names
are there, with dates of tlielr Inscrip
tion-ill nearly every instance the early
part of the seventeenth century.

A Tart Retort.
Lord Roberts once found himself the
center of u circle of new friends in a
London club. There was a very tall
gentleman present, who, evidently be
lieving himself to shine ns a wit, seized
every opportunity to raise a laugh at
the other people's expense. On l»eing
introduced to Lord Roberts the wit
bent down patronizingly to his lord-
ship and remarked:
”1 have often heard of you, but”—
shading his eyes with one hand as
though the famous general, being so
small, could be seen oidy with difll-
culty—*T have never seen you.”
To this Lord Roberts promptly re
plied:
“I have often seen you, sir, but I
have never heard of vou.”

would he the safest position, and it b

the czar of the house of representa

friends when that man you see over
there by the cigar counter pushed his
way through the crowd, gras|>ed Reed
by the hand and said effusively: ‘Hello,
Tom, old boy! How do you do?’
“Reed responded in a manner that
was more of a shake for the man
than for his hand and went on with
his talk. When our friend over there
hud inlged out of the crowd, some one
said: 'You didn’t seem to be happy
over him. Heed. Who is your friend,

Thrifty Sqnandtrera.
When Napoleon entered Ueuon In
1805, the rich patricians of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
of the conqueror by all sorts of flat-
terlng attentions. The most elaborate
of these was a banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
The tables were set in an artificial
gnrden, floating on pontoons, which
were towed out to son during the prog
ress of the feast. At the conclusion of
tlie banquet—again In imitation of An
tony and Cleopatra—ull tbe costly gold
and silver plate was flung Into tbe sea.
This little tribute of honor to tbe em
peror was not so expensive as It seem-
ed, for the floating gnrden was sur
rounded with nets, and the plate was
subsequently recovered.
What Men Like In Men.
Men like In men these traits: Tbe
honor that ennobles, the Justice that
Insures the right, tbe reasonableness
that mellows and makes plain, the
courage that proclaims virility, the
generous Instinct that disdains, all
meanness, the modesty that makes no
boast, the dignity that wins respedt,
the fineness and the tenderness that
kuow and feel. But when one thinks
of It more carefully may he not sum
It up lu just a single sentence and ac
cept it as the truth that all men like a
gentleman ?—Cosmopolitan.

Dean of We.tmlu.ter Klefu.ed to
eept Btutue oi Poet.
Many years ago some admirers of
Lord Byron raised a subscription for a
monument to the poet, to be pluced In
Westminster abbey. Chantrey was re-
quested to execute It. but on account
of the smallness of the sum subscribed
he declined, and Thorwaldsen was
then applied to and cheerfully under
took the work.
lu about 1833 tbe finished statue ar
rived at tbe custom bouse In London,
but, to the astonishment of the sub-
serlbers, tbe dean of Westminster, Dr.
Ireland, declined to give permission to
have It set up In tbe abbey, and, owing
to this difficulty, which proved Insur
mountable, for Dr. Ireland's successor
was of tbe same opinion, it remained
for upward of twelve years lu tbe cus
tom house, when (184(1) It was re-
moved to the library of Trinity col-
lege. Cambridge.
Tbe poet Is represented In the statue
of tbe size of life, seated on a ruin,
with his left foot resting on the frag
ment of a column. In his right hand
he holds a style up to bis mouth; lu hi*

A Model Surveyor.
The Kingman Leader-Courier tells of
an early day county surveyor In King-
mnn county, Kan., who neither pos
sessed any Instruments nor could have
used them if he had. His method of
measuring laud was to tie his ankles
together with a cord that was just
long enough to allow him to step one-
fifth of a rod each time, and thus hob
bled be would strike out. counting his
steiw until be bud made a sufficient
number to cover tbe desired distance.
Tbe cord or string used by him In
fastening his legs together, says the
Leader-Courier, wns made of raw-
hide, so that when he was traveling
through the grass of a morning when
the dew wns on It would become wet
and stretch nearly n foot, ami so bis
steps were much longer of a morning
than they were of an evening after tbe
sun bad dried the whang leather and
shortened It. Consequently the man
having bis lund surveyed In tbe morn-
lng would have much more In bla
qunrter section than his neighbor who
had his work done In the afternoon.
These old surveys and corners then es
tablished cause annoyance even to this
day.
