cause of his capacity to poison with

their capacity and disposition to
kill. In either case the slayer is
justified. It is said that Jessie james
has killed, more than fifty men. He
would have rounded up with an even
hundred, doubtless, if he had lived

The Original Home of the Horse

There is no doubt that the original
home Of the horse is not Europe but
Central Asia; for since the horse in
its natural state depends upon grass
for its nourisment and fleetness for
its weapon, it could not in the be-
ginning have thrived and multiplied
in the thick forest grown territory of
Europe. Much rather should its
place of propagation be sought in
those steppes where it still roams
about in q wild state. Here, too,
arose the first nation of riders of
which we have historic knowledge,
the Mongolians and the Turks, whose
existence even at this day is at it
were combined with that of the horse.
From these regions the horse spread
in all directions, especially into the
steppes Southern and Southeastern
Russia and into Thruce, until it fin.

ally found entrance into the other
parts Of Europe, but not till after the
immigration of the people. This as
sumption is, at least, strongly favor
ed by the fact that the farther q
district of Europe is from those Ash
attic steppes, i. e., from the original
home of the horse, the later; does the
tanned horse seem to have made its
appearance in it. The supposition
is further confirmed by the fact that
horse raising among almost every
tribe appears as an art derived from
neighboring tribes in the East or
Northeast, Even in Homer the OK
appears exclusively as the draught-
animal in land operations at homo
and in the field, while the horse was
for purposes of war only. It's en-
ployment in military operations was
determined by swiftness alone. That
the value of tho horse must origiual-
ly have depended on its fleetness, can
easily be inferred from the name
which is repeated in all the branches
of the Indo-European language, and
signifies nearly "hastening," "quick.'
The same fact is exemplifed by the
descriptions of the Oldest poets, who,
next to its courage, speak most of its
swiftness.-[ From "The Introduction
of Domestic Animals" in Popular
Science Monthly for June.

woman's Courage and Devotion.

During the whole of Lord Dundon.
AIDS ardous services and romantic
adventures in South America, Lady
Dundonald accompanied him, to
soothe his anxieties, to sustain his
hopes, to animate his exertions, to
share his dangers. One night, whilst
he was in command Of the Chilian
fleet, his ship got becalmed under q
battery from which he was assailed
with red-hot shot. His men were
seized with panic, and deserted
their guns. If the fire from the shore
was returned, it would speedily be-
come steady, sustained, and fatal
He went down to the cabin where
she lay:-"if woman sets them the
example, they may be shamed out Of
their fears; it is our only chance."-
She rose and followed him upon the
deck. We have heard her relate that
the first object that met her eye was
the battery, with its flaming furnaces
round which dark figures were NOV
ing, looking more like incarnate de-
mons than men. A glance at her
husbands impressive features, and
his terrible" calmness, reassured
her. She took the match, and fred
a gun where he had pointed it. The
effect on the crew was electrical; they
returned to their posts with u shout,
and the battery was speedily silenced.

The Mountains Of colorado.

The mountain ranges Of Colorado
cover an area Of from G0,000 to 10000
square miles. This excludes bodily
the entire territory east Of this point.
All Switzerland covers but 10000
square miles, or, to be accurate, 49,
$50. The fact is, Switzerland, COM
pared to Colorado, is as one of the
little wooden toy COWS to a living
buffalo. You can take up the whole
little State, and set it down in eth
er the North, Middle, or South Parka,
without touching the rim of the
mountains which wall in these
grand and singular enclosures.
These parks are each of them from
"a 900 to 2S,000 square miles in ex-
tent, and then San Luis is nearly as
large as all three.
So far as to magnitude, which is
certainly an element of mountain
scenery-as to pure scenic beauty, of
course the evidence cannot be redu.
ced to figures; but it is reasonable to
suppose that this vast expanse of gi-
gantic ranges, endless canons, bot
tomless gulches, with its lake swung
1900 feet in air, and it's cascades
and icy waterfalls still higher-with
its eternal SHOWS and preadimite
stone forests Of tropical efllorescence

feet that any other land or region
