Home Life of the Ancients,

1t was dismal, rainy day in Decem-
Der. Socrates, who had no umbrella,
and in fact didn't have time to live until
the first one was made, stood on the front
steps of his house, drawing his cloak
around him, before venturing down the
street. From the opposite side of the
street his friend Theremenes, passing
by, familiarly hailed him as "Soc," and
shouted
" Blustery this morning."
Yes, replied the philosopher, "it's
cold"
"Hey 2" suddenly shot the voice of a
Xantippe from second-story window,
"hey? what's that ?'S
"Isaid, exclaimed Socrates, promptly
throwing up his guard and backing pru-
IDENTIFY into the doorway 81 say it's
scoId."
"Said what ?" was the sharp rejoinder;
"you say that again, and say it SLOW"
" It's cold," repeated the philosopher; /;
"it's scold its cold; it's scold as ice, 1
said."
There was moments silence, during
which Xantippe appeared to be buried
in profound thought, while the great
disciple of Anaxagoras occupied the
painful interval by girding up his loins
and tucking his trowsers in the tops of
his boots, and making other preparations
for lively run. Presently there came
from the window
"You hold on there a minute, young
man, till come down. I want to see
you second before you go down town. ;
There was a fierce, rapid tapping of
Attic sandals upon the wet pavement, the
wild rush of cloaked figure through the
pelting rain, and ten minutes later
Socrates was explaining to Plato and
Xenophon that he had chased street car
all the way from the Peiraic gate, and was
clear out of breath. h.-HaaOkeye.

Emotional HydrODhObia.

Elbridge E. Cabot, of Enfield, Conn,
who has suffered since last week in con-
sequence Gas he imagined) of cat bite
last September. died on Sunday after
noon. He had no symptoms of hydro
phobia, but had become so wrought up
about the case of Professor Alvergnat,
of Hartford, a detailed report of whose
symptoms and death DR.. Towne read to
him, not knowing that cat had bitten
him, that he actually scared himself to
death. The doctors told him over and
over again that he had no symptoms of
hydrophobia, but as they prudently
kept out of his reach for fear of being
bitten, he would not believe Them On
Saturday they gave him milk, and the
man was so afraid that he had hydro
phobia, he would tremble and gulp it all
down in one swallow, enough to choke
any ordinary man. Cabot was an old
bachelor, fifty-five years Of age, quiet,
reserved man, who minded his own busi-
ness and was not supposed to be easily
aroused to such pitch of imagination.
He had a reputation for being an honest,
square man. The cat that bit him was
fifteen years old, and cross and ugly.
There is no proof that she was ever
bitten by a dog. Springfield (MoSS.)

The Legs and Feet of Horses.

1t is o well-known fact that horses
will work and stand sound for many
years with legs apparently much out of
order. Enlargements take place in the
sheath of tendons after strains, also from
blows, where the parts become lined
with thick coat of lymph, and some
times the body of the bone itself is found
thickened, from a disposition Of bony
lamina oyer the original bone. When
all this has been in progress, we 'ques-
tion the propriety of any active meas
ures, unless, as is generally the case,
feeling of soreness is expressed after
work by shifting or favoring of the
limb on limbs in the stall, or by "feel-
ing" manner of going on first quitting
tbe stable. When the legs are really
callous, little impression can be made
upon them, unless by active measures !;
but rest and proper attention are the
best preservatives Of these most essential
members of the horses frame, with the
friendly auxiliaries of hot water, flannel
bandages, and freedom in box stall
after severe work, and good shoeing at
all times.
Provided no internal diseases attack
the feet, they will not only be as sound
and healthy, but in better form, from
having been properly shod, than if they
had not been shod all. Some hoofs,
how6N%, having greater disposition to
,secretsh harn than others, and thus called
strong3fSa& should never remain more
than tRfeeSweeks without being sub
iected toethsSarawing knife of the black
smith, and the shoes properly replaced.
Neithefshonld stopping with damp tow
be omitted rs moisture, not wet, is
beneficial to the health of the foot. Do
what we may, however, horses that are
required for work on hard roads, or to
ego the pace" will always be more or
less subject to diseased feet, quite un-
connected with shoeing. The action of
the hinder legs of horses reminds us of
one useful hint to those who have to use
their horses on long journeys. If we
allow we'll formed horse, with the free
use of his limbs, on a road upon which
his footsteps are imprinted, we shall
find that the hinder foot oversteps the
fore feet in the walk, but falls behind
it in the slow trot. Exclusive of relief
to the muscles by change of action, then,
it is safer to vary the pace from walk
to slow trot on journey, as causing
less fatigue to the hook joint, by which
curbsand spayins are frequently thrown
out. Add to this, the slow trot is the
safest pace horse goes, because his
step.is shortest. .-Pyairie Farmer,

Prairie Dogs and Rattlesnakes.

II has been heretofore stated tina
prairie dogs and rattlesnnkes form part
nersbips and live together in the house
of the former. A gentleman of ST.
Louis, who has carefully observed the
habits and customs Of the prairie dog
villages, says that this is a mistake. lie
says that in the prairie dog village there
are many houses that, for one reason or
other, have been abandoned by the
dogs, and that rattlesnakes finding these
vacant take possession and use them for
their dens. At first sight there seems to
be peace between the snakes and the
dogs, but this peace is only a truce.
The dogs are so much more numerous
than the snakes aud fight so bravely in
defence of each other, that the
snakes are afraid to make war on them
about the villages. The prairie dogs are
so peacefully disposed that they never
attack any animal except in defence,
consequently rattlesnakes are tolerated
and let alone. Hearing a prairie dog
making q great fuss near thicket, past
which he was riding, this gentleman says
that on accommodating he found a prairie
dog defending her young from the fllri-
ous attack of rattlesnake. He dis
mounted and killed the rattlesnake,
which was five feet in length, the two
dogs, meanwhile, hiding in the thicket.
Retiring behind the thicket, he watched
results. The old dog came out first
from her hiding-place, and, approach
ing the snake timidly, soon satisfied
herself that it was dead. She then ran
to the thicket, and returning with the
young dog, they ran about the dead
snake with every expression of delight.
Leaving the young dog on guard, she
ran away to the village, and soon re-
turned leading a troop of at least one
hundred dogs. They had noisy meet
ing over the remains of their enemy,
many of them spitefully scratching the
dead body, after which they conducted
the rescued mother and son home at the
head of what was quite like triumphal
procession.

And Jennie, and Dorothy Deans,

And scarcely had got in their teens,
Till they had been married a twelvemonth.
And now would like to know why
can't have beau and a wedding,
And not live amaid till die.
There are some things in life quite uncer
tain,
AS mamma, you very well know;
And not in the least are the chances
OF getting aud keeping beau.
There's no use in saying he's older
Than am by nearly score;
He had all those years to be learning,
And l shall be petted the more.
And no use to talk of our waiting,
For John wouldn't do it, know;
He'd marry some other young lady,
And be left minus beau.
So now I'm in haste for the wedding
I'm earnest and can't be denied;
Twill seem such a beautiful romance
To be called " the little girl bride"

Dead i'm the Witness Stand,

A tragic elimination of bank rob-
berry occurred at Lewiston, Pa. Jerome
Hetrick, famed for his integrity and de-
votion to duty, was director of the
Mexico Bank, in which his brother-in-
law was cashier. The bank was robbed
of $4,000 under circumstances indicating
that some one connected was privy 10
the theft. Hetrick, in distress, appealed
to the clerks one after another to con-
fess, and finally the brother-in-law ac-
knowledged the crime and promised to
return the money if the matter should
be kept secret. Hetrick promised, the
money was returned and the matter sub
sided. But people lost confidence in
the bank, and the directors decided that
the secret of the matter must be revealed,
and suit was brought to recover there
ward which had been offered at the out
set. Hetrick was compelled to take the
stand to give testimony which would
consign the brother of his wife to a
prison. Everyone knew that he would
tell the whole truth, and every eye was
turned upon him. He rose slowly, his
face revealing the agony under which he
labored. His limbs seemed paralyzed,
friend rose to support his trembling
form, when his jaw dropped and he fell
back dead into the arms Of his friend.

building was very old, dry and built Of
wood. The fire originated In the center

The inmates were sleeping both ON the

men ON tho one side and the women on
the other. Very few people were At the
scene Of con6agrati0n, owing to the dis

smoke compelled him to seek safety In
