good listener Laughter. II has been said by phrenolo-
gsts that the horse has very small brain do not
know how this is for claim skin in that science but
if he has small brain he has something that is remark
ably good substitute for it. You have his tender and
high sensibity. Look at that noble Arabian stallion,
taken in the desert and transported to England. When
he fell sick in the harsher northern climate they wanted
to revive his dropping energies and they called for in
struments Of music to play at his side and the
the musicians struck their notes his whole frame was
tremulous with the fine phrenzy, and fearful that his
