sagacI,y Of n Mare.

Aremarkable instance Of the sagacity
I is it not reason ? Of horse has Come
to our notice. Mr., John Fletcher Of
Norwegian, owns IN unbroken cayuse
mare which runs in pasture adjoining
his house, The mare, which is very
wild, has a young colt at her side. A
low nights since, after Mr., Fletcher had
returned, he was aroused by the mare
coming to the window Of his house, and
by paving, neighing, and in every way
possible trying to get his attention.
This continuing for some time lie got Up
and went out and drove her away, and
returned again to bed but she imme.
diately returned, and il possible in
creased her demonstrations ho again
went ont, when the mare came up to
him and rubbed her nose against him,
although always before she had been
very shy OF allowing any one to come
within reach Of her, then ran on few
yards before him continuing her neigh
ing then, us he did not follow her, she
returned to him rubbing against him in
the most demonstrative manner. He
attempted to drive her of, struck her
with stick, and followed her n few
wards to brighten her away, As soon,
however, MS he turned toward the house
she returned and tried in every way to
prevent him from doing so. He then
remarked that her colt was not with her,
fact hc had not noticed before rs il
wAs quite dark, It occurred to him then
to follow her, which he did, So soon Us
she saw he was doing so sho ran of
before him, stopping every few yards,
turning around 10 see that he was still
following, then again running on keep
ing up her calling, until she reached II
distant part Of the field ; where size
stopped ut M old prospect hole" On
coming up with her she again COM
menccd rubbing against him, and drew
his attention to the hole, where he soon
discovered the colt. II appears it had
slipped into II and was unable to get
out, and the mare had taken this method
to obtain assistance. Being unable to
get it out alone, Mr.. Fletcher went for
some of his neigobors, aud with them
returned. Willie they were taking the
little fellow out the mare manifested
the most intense delight, and seemed
almost beside herself with joy ; and
afterward, when the men had got out OF
Tho hole, she came up to Mr.. F., and
placing her nose on his shoulder gave
every sign OF gratitude that human
mother might under similar Circum.
stances. WHO will say tho horse does
not reason !?

SMART G1R1s.-A Western man thinks
smart girls may be thus described
''They can paddle their own canoe If
there is any necessity for it, or be just
rs dainty and frightened at a ripple in
the water, rs though they did not know
u boat.hoOk from n iew's.harp. They
suit themselves 10 circumstances. You
meet them on Broadway, in the morning
or on the avenue in the afternoon, and
look at their elegant clothes and stylish
ways with envy, wishing you had been
born rich rather than handsome"

real images Of the sun, Of which fact you
convince yourself by watching such images
on day when floating clouds cover up the
sun from time to time. You will sec the
images Of the luminous edges of the clouds
around your round sun spots, and their
dark masses covering the same; and when
you use a single hole these appearances
are very striking, The shape Of the hole
Is Of no consequence, provided 1t Do small

QUEER WAY TO MEND A Broken LEG.
This morning, writes a correspondent
from Rome, Italy, on the 10th Of August,
an English gentleman, with tlorid face
and white whiskcts was returning to Rome
on bis horse. after taking a ride in the
neighborhOod Of the Porta Pin. In cross.
ing the via Fclice' the horse unfortunately
stumbled and fell. The animal rose un.
hurt, but the gentleman had dislocOted
his knee by the fall. Several persons ran
to bis assistance and carried him to q
house. The faces OF the bystandcrs were
full VI alarm and pity, while that Of the
brave Englishman remained unmoved; his
cheeks were rs red and his face as calm as
before the accident. As soon rs they had
seated him in M arm. chair, he began to
feel his knee carefully. "Shall We send for
doctor Z" they asked. "0h no, is there
n carpenter near hCre7', he inquired.
"YCs, there is one close by" "Be so
kind MS to help me to go to him." Hall
laughing and hall inclined to think he was
insane, two young men took him to the
oiners. Once more seated, he asked Tor n
sheet and rolled 1t round his leg, Then,
after once more feeling the kne, joint, he
put 1t into the scrcw-yice and told the
Joiner to tighten 1t prudcntly. At frs,
with some hesitation, and alterward en-
coutased by the compOsure and authorIta-
tive manner Of the foreigner, the man did
as he was told and frightened the screw
slowly, while tue patient made the most
singular grlnace, TIL at last he called out :

The PROFITS OF BASE BALL TossIS O
"A New York correspondent of the Chi.
cagO Times gossips as follows concerning
professional base ball players:- The
Mutuals, of New York, pay an average oil
81, 200 each to eleven players. The Ath.
letIcs of Philadelphia, pay $4,000 to
eleven players. The Baltimore Club, of
that city, have appropriated So, 100 for
ten players, Harry Wright's great Dos.
ton Club receive an average of $1,000
some OF the players not receiving moro
than 5000 or 81 900, while It Is said that
the two Wrights-llOrry, the captain, and
his brother George, tile short stop, and
best general player in the country-eaCh
Is paid $4,000. The lIaymakers, of Troy
pay the largest amount In gross, they dis
bursting $4,000 for twelve players mn
average of $500. Tho Cleveland Forest
City club pay their men an average OF
$1,000. When 1t Is considered these
amounts are for seven months service, 1t
will be admitted that the pay Is not bad.
1t lie, however, unevenly distributed, the
catcher and pitcher getting the larger
share Some of the pitchers get rs much
as $4,000, because so much OF the success
of the season depends upon the skill, Gu
durance and stamina of tho pitcher. In
deed, have been told that 1t requires to
tempt Arthur Cummings from the side
of LIS pretty, new.married wife, no less
sum than 81, 800, or at the rate of 1925
