Bill Arm. on Bows.

There's more in the boy than there is
in the college. In these days of cheap
books any boy or girl can get an educa-
ton if they want it, but my observation
is that no more than one in ten want an
unusual quantity. If the family takes
q good newspaper and has Bible and
few books in the house, and the chill
dren do an honest days work, they'll
get along about as we'll as the college
boys in the long run, and do as much
good in the world. Congress has got
more smart men than any place, reck-
on, but if 1 was hunting for honest men
would cruise around outside while
before l went in, and if was hunting
for patriots, who thought it sweet to die
for their country, wouldn't 60 in at

''Alrs we'll that ends WE'LL" was said
by Burns, when he put a poultice on q

''Faint tart ne'er won fair lady," was

Nothine Like Panar.

The old adage used to be, nothing
like leather 1t should be ''nothing
like paper" Paper is used for almost
everything. Among the things made of
paper exhibited at the Berlin Exhibition
not long since, were paper buckets,
.'bronzes,' urns, asphalt roofing, water
cans, carpets, skirts, whole suits of
clothes, jewelry, material for garden
walks, window curtains, lanterns and
pocket handkerchiefs. The most strik-
ing of the many objects exhibited in
this material was, perhaps. a fire stove,
with cheerful fire burning in it. There
were newly-invented railway carriages
and carriage wheels, chimney pots.
flour barrels, cottage walls, roofing tiles
and bricks and dies for stamping, all
made of paper. Attention has frequent
ly been called to the value of ordinary
sheets of paper as a substitute for bed
clothes, or, at least, an addition to bed
clothes. The idea seems to have sug-
gested the fabrication of ''blankets''
from the cheap material, and if all that
is said of them is true, they ought to be
extensively used.

Pound in the Ground.


While engaged in improving the
ground around the old Catholic Church
in Ysleta, New Mexico, some parties
dug out of the ground large silver
lamp. Investigation and research
proved that it had been brought over to
this country from Spain about 1543 by
Cordovan, the well-known prospector
and settler. The lamp is of the very
finest silver and very heavy and valua-
bic. It was sent to Santa Fe, New Mex
leo, where it was cleaned and FURNISHED
and returned to the church, an object
of curiosity as we'll as valuable relic
and ornament. This church was con-
strucled in the year 1880, under the au-
spices OF the franciscan friars.-El Paso

There is good deal of talk abou,

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
nourishment, and tleetness for its weap-
on, it could not have thriven and multi
Piled in the thick forest-grown territory
Of Europe. Much rather should itsplace
of propagation be sought in those step
pes where it still roams about in a wild
state. Here, too, arose the first nations
of riders of which we have historic
knowledge, the Mongolians and the
Turks, whose existence at this day is as
it were combined with that of the horse.
From these regions the horse spread in
all directions, especially into the steppes
of Southern and Southeastern Russia,
and into Thrace, until it finally found
entrance into the other parts of Europe.
but not until after the immigration of
the people. This assumption is, at least,
strongly favored by the fact that the
farther a district of Europe is from
those Asiatic steppes, j. e., from the or
iginal home of the horse, the later does
the tanned horse seem to have made its
historical appearance in it. The sup
position is further confirmed by the fact
that horse raising among almost every
tribe appears as an art derived from
neighboring tribes in the east and north
east. Even in Homer the OK appears
exclusively as the draught animal in
land operations at home and in the
field. while the horse was used for pur-
poses of war only. Its employment in
military operations was determined by
swiftness alone. That the value of the
horse must originally have depended
upon its feetness, can easily be inferred
from the name which is repeated in all
the branches Of the Indo- European lan-
guage, and signifies nearly .'hastening,"
Squick." The same fact is exempliiied
by the descriptions of the oldest poets,
who, next to its courage, speak most Of
its swiftness. Popular Science Month

Crime in Z Pistol Wad.

All ages and nations have agreed In
branding with signal shame the ,faith-
fs4l soldier. To betray the cause whose
badge and uniform one wears. is moral
baseness, and in time Of war crime
that may be fatal to whole land. Pa
triotic women played no small part in
the detection of secret treason during
the Revolution, and instances Of the
same agency were not wanting during
the Civil War. The following, related
by Benjamin F. Taylor. illustrates the
ingenuity of deceit and shows how the
ingenuity of discovery may more than
match it:
A Union officer was suspected Of dis
loyalty. A young lady at his boarding

could away from his regiment, natural

she was advised to watch him.
Not unfrequently he would ride out
of town into the country, be absent
three or four hours, and return. The
young lady could not account for these
excursions, about which he preserved
an air of mystery when spoken to.
One day, however, she saw him load
his large old-fashioncd pistol prepare
tory to his usual ride. She thought he
put in IN uncommon charge, aud the
thought struck her,

her hand on his pistol, wished he would

exciting.
He promised, and a moment after,
while still holding the pistol, she said
she felt thirsty, and asked him if he
would favor her by getting her a glass
of lemonade.
The officer went for the drink, and
the instant the door closed behind him
she drew the charge from the pistol (for
she knew enough Of pistols to do this)
and substituted another.
She was not minute too soon, for
back he came, took the pistol and rode
away.
