Whatever business they were engaged il
before we get them leaves its impress upo,
them, and the habits. then formed are new I
broken. We used to have an old army
horse into which the sound of Augle
would seem to infiIse new life He was
being driven in front OF hearse one day
when artillery company was 5naneuver-
ing in the streets. A loud bugle blast
caused the old soldier to prick up his cars.
and as the call began to sound away he
went. In less time than il takes to tell it
the horse was right up in the fight, as he
supposed, and the hearse was. drawn vi
between two cannons. 1t was a strange
sight, and created considerable merrimenU
The bugle stopped blowing, and the old
fellow was induced, though reluctantly, to
pursue his peaceful calling.
We had another horse which had
once participated in races. coming away
with several prizes. One day German in
our employ was driving aim down Euclid
avenue, attached to hearse. 1t was ex-
eeIIent sleighing and many high-steppers
Were out Presently a whole drove OF
horses came flying down the avenue. As
they passed the heaTse the old race-horse.
evidently thinking it time to 60 cut loose.
and away he few at the head of the crowd.
In vain the German pulled on the reins; he
could not stop the horse until the rest
He then came home with a
proud air, which seemed to say that he was
conscious of his power.

Madame Christine Mission travels from
place to place in sumptuous style in the
same excursion car that has been used by
Mary Anderson and Sara Bernhardt. The
car is divided into sleeping, cooking. eating
and drawing room compartments Mad
anne Nelson's boudoir is the smallest but
most handsome room, containing piano
and many choice books and pictures.
Sometimes the prima donna plays and
sings, and sometimes watches the chang
ing scenery from the windows; but more
often she plunges deep into a novel, or
studies stereoscopic views to while away
the tedious hours of travel.
