An Int lligcnt Work k-Horso.

An amusing instance of equine in
telligence is related in regard to he
horse Paddy, doing steady and faithful
service In the Horton House, San Diego,
CALIFORNIA;, baggage wagon. PaGdy
Is stab. ed and well fed at johnny Him
tons, ind regularly every morning he
Is harnassed to his wagon, and, unat-
tended, goes directly to lis wontcd
stand in front of tho main entrance to
the Horton House, where, all unno-
tised, he awaits patlcntl Y any requisl-
tion which may be made for hIm. If the
morning Is pleasant Paddy remains as
1mmoVible as a rock till wanted; but If
the morning is cold. windy or damp,
after waiting reas onabin time, he dc :.
liberately walks around to the eastern
end of the house and enters She horse
shed at the northeast corner, opposite
the Methodist church. In peri rming
this feat the horse makes two sharp
turns at right angles, and never strikes
post, sidewalks, or steps IN so doing.

and started for his accustomed place at
the front. AS he left the stable, how.
over, the steamer Ancon was just round
ing the point off tho foot of y street
ON her way to the dock. Paddy, true
as steel, stopped, as Is his regular cus-
tom, but the porter failed to demand
his services as quickly as usual on
steamer days, 30, remaining at his post
until after the Ancon's gun was fired
the horse took up his line of march to
the wharf, evidently understanding
that he would. be needed there as
soon as the passengers arrived at the
landing. After completing the labors
IN which he was engaged at the time,
the porter was directed to go to the
wharf with Paddy, and started out for
that purpose. But Paddy was nowhere
to be seen. Thinking the stableboy
derelict In his duties, the porter pro-
ceeded to the stable to "hurry up" mat
tors as 1t was getting late, and WINS as
tontshed to learn that Paddy had been
sent out as usual. Dillgent search
was then instituted for the missing

A New SOCiety Laugh.

One of the summer fashions Is new
laugh, which goes like this: "Tc-he,
te-he Ha, ha, hal Oh-h-h-h-ha, ha,
hal" The directions are as follows
ga low and sly beginning ls made with
the 'te-he,' as though mirJh was strug-
CLING inside to break out through maid
emily reserve, and the mouth Is kept
tightly closed, while the eyes are OPEN
cd wide, thus giving an expression of
mingled occurrences and mischievous-
ness. Then follows the 'Ha, ha, ha,
higher and louder, with a parting of
the lips to show the teeth, ii they be
white and regular. The ooh, h-h' comes
next in tone OF surprise, reproof or
artless gayety according to the nature
of the thing laughed at, and the voice
rises into a pretty little scream. The
ensuing pause covers sudden sense of
the lmpropricty of making so much
noise, the eyes are cast down, and a
blush can In most instances be pro-
duced by holding the breath with the
lungs very fully inflated. The final
'Ha, Ia, ha, is given as crescendo,
spiritedly and without any show Of
restraint, like the outbursting hilaritv
of an unconventional milkmaid." This
novelty in laughs Is heard everywhere
In the metropolis and is sure to become
popular at the summer resorts. With
littlo alteration 1t can be made to fit
any mouth.

Checrfulness.

Chcerfulncss should be regarded as q
duty, because it has much to do with our
own individual happiness and the happi-
ness OF those around us. We should there
fore cndcavcr under all circumstances to
cultivate cheerful disposition, and hope.
fuli ~ look upon the bright side of things,
rather than on that which is gloomy and
dlslleartcnlng. Life, in It's best phases,
has It's trials and difficulties, and much that
is calculated TO depress the spirits, but it is
unmanly to yield to these discouragomcnto,
and become gloomy and sad under what.
perhaps after all, is blessing in disguise,
calculated to develop tho highest Christian
graces and cast our character into model
OF great moral beauty. But while life has
its Ills, 1t has also its joys, and these arc
Tar more numerous than its sorrows. A
proper consideration of the comforts and
blessings which surround us, of the kind
care which our Heavenly Father exercises
over lis, and Of the prospect of ultimate
deliverance from all sorrow and pain, should
sustain our minds, inspire us with courage,
and enable us checrfully to endure.

DR. PAYNE, In his lecture upon the
Foe and Grace, says that Dyspepsia is
great Foe to Grace. It darkens tho
sky and breaks the hopes Of many Chris
ttans.. They think the trouble is in their
hearts, when 1t ls in their stomachs..
Thus the stomach influences the feel
ings to such degree that it should be
more carefully looked after and regu-
lated with the never failing Simmons
Liver Regulator, the constant use Of
which will so improve the feelings as
to make the heart happy and spirits
light. 1t lisa well-known fact that food,
Ill digested, but imperfectly nourlshes
the system, as 1t is only partially as
simulated by the blood. Sufferers with
Dyspepsia, whose circulation Is inn
poverished and nerves weakened, ex-
perience a rapid and decided improve
ment in their physical and mental con-
dition by the use of simmons Liver
Regulator. Try 1t, and you will be as
tontshed at the good results.

horse and wagon, when 1t was soon
learned that the animal had been seen
going down Fifth street toward the
wharf. Sure enough, Paddy had reach
ed the wharf In safety, and was there
found with the wagon backed up
against the platform as carefully as If
he had been guided by the porter him
self, and stood patiently W iting to
have his wagon filled with baggage.
All the while the horse was looking
about him uneasily, as much as to say,
baggage for the Horton House-this
way, gentleman and there is little
doubt If the horse had received his ac-
customed load before the arrival Of the
porter, no would have taken the same

How TOMAKE CoFFEE. with all the
neW-fangled coffee pots and numerous
Inventions In this line, tho secret of
| making coffee is very simple one. It
is only to get the delicious oily sub.
stances out OF the grounds and hold it
IA the hot water before 1T flies of in
the air all over the house. Very re-
ireshing 1t is to smell the coffee boil
Ing IN, the kitchen whereon the front
door opens, but what goes out on the
air is lost to the coffee pot. A common
practice with cooks Is to grind their
cotee 0ycr night, and put 1t to boil a
haif an hour before breakfast time. 1t
does Doll and sometimes the, brown
huid that is poured out of the coffee pot
afterwards has only its brown color to
tell 1s by. All that makes 1t delicious
mas gone out In steam up che chimney.
The usual coffee receipts give too much
water, for they ALLOW room for some to
0oH aaoay. There is no need of that.
therefore, pint of boiling water, in
stead of quart. to a cup full Of ground
coilee Is better propoetlon. Mix the
coifee with enough cold water to make
it paste, beat 1t little with a spoon.
Put the precise quantity Of water you
desire into your bright tin coffee pot,
which must always be kept bright If
you want good coffee. At the moment
1t boils turn into it your coffee paste
and set 1t back from the fire, where it
Will keep hot, but not boil. The aroma
OF the coffee does not pour out of the
spout, but remains within, and the
coffee rather sleeps than SINNERS. This
is the true way to got all Of Its strength.
When just ready to servo draw it for
moment over tho fire to bring it to
the boiling point, but not longer.
Then carry to table In the pot it is
made in. Coffee made in this way
should be beautifully clear, without
the clearing ot-an egg. When the egg
Is used, either the shells can be thrown
into the coffee paste or the white
turned in on it and stirred, but not
beaten. The advantage Of making cof-
fee In this way Is that small quantity
goes further, and that it can be always
ready for the breakfast bell, even If
prepared some time before. The bright
metal pot keeps it hot, where the
blackened or smoked tin let's 1t get
cool too fast.

The Morphine 1,rtok,

A few days ago one of tho seodiest
sort Of tramps, seemingly about fifty
years old, attached himself to free
lunch saloon on Monroe avenue, De-
troit, and soon felt perfectly at home.
When ordered out he went out, but the
trouble was he wouldn't stay out. AS
a last resort he was kicked out, but in an
hour he came back and seemed 80 hum
bic and forgtving that the proprietor
didn't like to give him any more cow
hide. After day or two a different
plan was tried The vag had several
times referred to a pain in his chest,
and the barkeeper mixed himup cure.
In ten minutes after drinking it he was
excitedly informed that he had been
given large doze Of morphine by mis-
take. A party was ut hand to play
doctor, and it was decided that the
tramp must walk until he overcame the
influence of the drug One and another
Took turns with him until he had put in
about four hours In the back yard, and
he was then told to walk in the country
at least five miles to make his cure GER
tain. He took the case very coolly,
never. protesting a word, and as he
started for the green fields It was sup
posed that the saloon had seen the last
Of him. Nevertheless, he returned in
about four hours, lame in the left leg,
covered with dust, and apparently
almost exhausted. He said he had
walked in vain. Finding that death
was determined to claim him, he had
returned to die with his friends. Be-
fore they could protest he fell to the
floor, breaking the back of a chair and
upsetting table, and after few kicks
he was dead. a pint Of good brandy
was wasted in rubbing him. the saloon
closed for an hour In the face Of big
business and al undertaken and coroner
called before the old chap let any one
known he wasn't dead. IIc came to in
some sort Of fit which required great
deal Of kicking, and he took good care
that every kick counted on something.
When sufficiently restored to sit up he
was given nearly half pint Of wine,
and as his strength increased ho'rgot
away with enough luncheon for four
men. 1t was deemed good policy to
hand him half dollar and turn him
out upon the world. Just how much
profit the saloon keeper made in play
Ing the morphine trick Is what will
puzzle HIM for week to come.

The BrlnkerhOH Trnu.

knowing that a laid head is the one
temptation that no fly can resist, Mr..
Brinkerhotf has contrivcd n trap based
upon the knowledge of this fact. 1'he
"Brlnkerhetf fly-trap" consists ola life
size figure of n mlddlc-aged man with
bald head. The figure is made of
wax, colored so rs to perfectly initiate
the complexion of a mid,ile.aged and
healthy dfner-oltt, and the head is so
constructed that at fixed intervals OF
fifteen minutes concealed clock-works
cause roller to pass over the skull
with rapidity of lighting. The Brink
erkoH trap, when placed in any room, +,
will instantly attract every fly present.
1t ls, TO all appearance, precisely tho
kind of man whom tllos delight to
annoy, and consequently, the moment
fly sees it, he will abandon lump of
sugar, or bowl of milk, or even a
sleeping baby, and pouncc on the bald
head. AT the end of fifteen minutes
the roller passes over the head and
crushing every fly in Its path. The
same process Is repeated over ana over
again until all the flies In tho room are
extermlnated. Tho trap has been tried
In several Of the leading restaurants in
Philadelphia with complete success,
killing, on an average, thirty full
quarts Of flies per hour, and the invcn-
tor has received thousands Of certifi-
Gates from leading citizens expressing
their obligations to him, and their de-
termination never to be without a
Brinkcrhoff trap.
