Two well dressed, dandified looking young
men came to town few days ago and put up
with Mrs. White who lives near the depot
and takes boarders. They brought valises,
apparently well flied, with them, and pre-
tended to make crayon pictures. On Friday
night they retired as usual, but failing to put
in an appearance the next morning at the
breakfast hour, their room was visited and
found deserted. The two men had laid on
the outside of the bed till everything
quiet, and then crept down stairs and were
gone, cheating their hardw orking landlady
out of a number of dollars. They probably
took the train, and are no doubt playing the
same game elsewhere.

| go on their way. The tall, angular man was
| thoroughly frightened at his experience and
was anxious to get away from the limits of
the dread town. lie started at once across
the bridge and in the direction of the country
town where he lived. Before going far however
he changed his mind and concluded to go to
Gardiner on the eleven o'clock train. He
seemed possessed with the idea that the tall
hat which he wore was the cause of all his
misfortuncs, and as he came across the bridge
he took it from his head remarking as he did
so that he would throw it away that very
minute only it was borrowed one. But hat
in hand the train soon bore him away, a re-
lieved but not a happy man.
Rev. DIR. Allen at the Methodist Church.
A very able and interesting sermon was de-
livered at the Methodist church, yesterday
morning, by the Rev. Stephen Allen, the
Presiding Elder of the district, from the text,
"For we have not high priest which cannot
be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are,
yet without SIM" found in the epistle of Paul
to the Hebrews, iv rs.
He said that all men needed sympathy, and
that they looked to a great high priest for it,
and he went on to prove that Christ was that
sympathizng high priest. lie stated that
Christ was endowed with a nature common
to man, for who could tell of the depth of the
anguish of the Son of Man when he died for
Ms, and because he died for us we conceive of
him as that high priest.
He further said that we must consent to
return to God and must be converted to be
saved and the sinner must place himself in
such position that he can respond to the
love of God He closed his remarks by say
ing that the words Of this text were full of
sympathy to the believing heart, and expressed
the hope that Christ might help us to realize
the length, depth and heighth of Gods love.

list who has been conducting such profitable

A School for Horses.

A Post Dispatch reporter meandered
out to Schulherr's stables yesterday,
where the horses of Coles circus are
being educated for their summers
work. William Organ, the trainer, is
a genius; his success in his work, his
gentleness with the animals in his
charge, and the number of singular
evolutions he makes his horses go
through, make him avery valuable ad-
junct of the show.
Mr.. Organ has what sounds like
singular theory of the horse, claiming
that, contrary to the usual impression,
the horse is stupid rather than an in
telligent animal. He says:
1.-THE horse is favorite because of
his beauty, not because of his good
sense. Take horse and feed him
well, and fix him up in new harness,
and the chances are he'll be fsol
enough to run away and smash
buggy. A horse has no affection and
no sense of gratitude. I've had horse
fall with me on the ice and break my
leg, and then walk off and leave me.
Now, dog wouldn't have done that
way.
as intelligent animal; but can take an
OK and teach him everything l can
horse. OF course his structure won't
allow him to sit down, but outside of
his physical disabilities, he will learn
Just as fast and as much as any horse.
"Some men try to teach horse by
clubbing him over the head. That
won't do; it's just like an Englishman
in China or Japan, if the natives were
to tell him to do something, which he
could not understand, and then club
him till he did it.
"Make the horse understand what
he is to do-conyey the idea 70 him
he will do what you want, them and
that can only be done by good iudg-
ment and practice, doing the same
thing over and over again.
"When horses come 10 us-of course,
we use stations exclusively--they are
unbroken, and it is necessary first to
teach them some simple tricks. don't

Management Of Young Fruit Trees.

Comparatively few farmers give the
attention to their young trees that is
necessary to secure the best results.
One of the worst and most common err
rors is to seed the young orchard to
grass. With such treatment nineteen
twentieths of the trees will die before
they reach bearing size, and the re-
mainder Will be sickly and improbable
dwarfs. Clean cultivation for five to
eight years will be amply rewarded by
the more vigorous growth of the trees,
and the superior quality of the fruit.
Some useful crop should be grown,
which will perhaps repay the labor
bestowed upon the trees. Indian corn,
although not as good as potatoes, will
be good to secure the requisite culture,
and it may be alternated with wheat,
rye or oats. 1t will then be necessary
to mulch the trees.
Any coarse material NAV be used for
this purpose-forest leaves, fodder,
straw, etc., will do, and should be ap-
piled to the trees as far around as the
roots extend, and six to eight inches
deep this will keep down weeds, and
prevent the ground from getting dry
around the roots, and when decomposed
will enrich the soil. Peach trees should
be examined every spring in order to
destroy the peach worm, which may be
found by the gum which exudes from
his abode near the roots of the tree.
Strong ashes or lime will destroy them
and is at the same time the best fertil-
iZer that can be applied.

A Mohammedan Funeral in Africa.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican writes from Tunis: Yes
terday saw Mohammedan funeral
passing through the streets. My atten-
ton was first attracted to it by hearing
a murmur of many voices approaching
from the distance. The sound was un-
like anything ever heard before.
Soon there appeared two or three hun
dred Arab men crowding through the
narrow streets, all joining in singing or
chanting song for the dead. In the
midst of them several Arabs bore upon
their should IS bier like crib. The
bottom of it was covered over with a
Turkish or Tunisian rug, on which
stretched the body of the dead Arab,
enveloped in what appeared to be
Persian shawl. | would have followed
after the procession, but was told that
none but a Mohammedan was allowed
to witness the burial ceremony. Old
residents of Tunis tell me that the final
act of depositing the body in Mother
Earth is a strange and novel procedure.
The Arabs have superstition that as
the new-made grave is ready for its oc-
cupant the evil spirits at once take
pOSStSSlOu VI IL. IL uIlN6 Luclu OuJ,
they resort to all manner of strange de-
vices. The most efficacious, and the
one usually resorted to, is based upon
the belief of the devils fondness for
gold, and that money is the root of all
evil As soon as the body is placed by
the side of the grave the medicine man
or saint exercises the devil, and signi-
fies by signs that his Satanic Majesty
with all his imps are in the grave be-
low. The nearest relative of the de-
ceased, who is prepared for the emer-
gency, takes from his pocket handful
of small gold, silver or copper coins,
according to his wealth, which he
throws in the distance as far as posi-
BILE, as if he was sowing grain. The
evil spirits are believed to scramble
after it, and while picking it up the
body is hustled into the ground as
quickly as possible. and the stones and
earth are placed over it, before the
cloven-footed money hunters can re-

How George Honey Hunted Bats.

Here is story far funnier than most
of the anecdotes one finds under the
caption of noaGUelLeS la main in the
journal AnlUsant or the Figaro. 1t is
story of George Honey, the distin-
guished actor, who many years ago,
while on tour in the provinces, had
taken lodgings in a humble house,
somewhat the worse for wear. Soon
after retiring he was awakened by a fut-
tering noise as of bird around the
struck q light, and saw a dark little
creature with wings laundering about
the room. Not being well acquainted
with natural history, he did not recog-
nize it as bat, but determined to
catch tiff possible-and examine it
carefully in the morning. Taking up
a felt hat, he began the hunt, and tried
to capture the intruder for a long time
in vain, but at last he pounced upon it,
took it from under the hat, shut it up
in drawer, listened to its struggles to
escape-wanting to be sure that he had
really caught it, and went to bed
dreaming of flying dragons. But he
was not destined to sleep long. Hard
ly had he dozed off when further
Auttering awakened him, and lighting
another match he found another bat.
After this one he had another hunt,
caught it, put it in the drawer with its
brother, and again went to bed. Again,
however, he was awakened in a similar
manner; bats came not in single spies,
buff the expression be pardonable
in battalions." Mr.. Honey hunted
diligently, making quite a collection of
specimens, and put them all with great
care in the drawer. Heated with the
chase, he then opened the window, and
tired out at last enjoyed few minutes
sleep. Waking with the morning light
he jumped out of the bed and opened
the drawer very cautiously to look for
his bats; but 10 and behold there were
no bats there. He opened the drawer
wide, and then discovered it had no
back TO it. He had in fact, been pass
ing the night in catching the same bat,
which had flown out at the back of the
drawer as soon as he had put it in at
the front, and when the window was
opened had finally escaped.-Anerican
Register.
