4 Misrepresentation There is an
idea current that it is illegal for q
private individual to carry sealed
letter. This is mistake. The post
Office department nor any other de-
partment can lay restriction of that
character upon a citizen. II it could.
it could also stop all verbal messages.
No-our government is more liberal
than it sometimes gets credit for.
Railroads and express companies carry
their own correspondence right along
side of mail-bags and telegraph COM
panies permitted to send private mes
sages past hundreds Of post offices at
jump. So if anybody for instance
wants to enclose and seal $3.50 for the
JOURNAL and send by private hands,
let the latter deliver and we will be
willing to stand test case.

Argyll, who during the conversation,
expressed surprise that Chicago should
have treated Oscar Wilde--*sa man

of him at all"--so we'll. :'It's all a

of Boston, was about to interiect q re-

him with significant look After the

A Foolhardy Exploit.

When in Garibaldi's British Legion
at the bombardnent Of Capua, soldier,
who afterward became Brigadier Gener-
al MacIver, was challenged for basket
OF wine to show himself over the breast
works "for one short minute" The
next minute he sprang On the parapet.
Zip-zip--zip-zip whistled the bullets
around him, and there he stood as
calmly as if on parade, firing and re-
loading and still without cessation the
zip-zip-zip of the leaden messenger
Of death signing around hin, and even
striking near him, like fierce storm of
hail. Ere long his cap was shot off his
head, his loose red Garibaldian shirt
was perforated, and his body
actually grazed in many places, and yet
he kept his stand. Each instant his
comrades expected to see him fall back
dead or mortally wounded, but he never
hinched nor stirred even except to load
or discharge his rifle. Most of the Of
fcers were almost paralyzed at his tenn.
Gritty, but at length one of them called
out: For heavens sake, MacIver come
down! You have tempted Providence
too long" Thus adjured, the young
Hilander fired a parting shot from his
rifle, and then coolly lighted cigar with
his face still to the enemy. Then he
turned deliberately round and jumped
down amongst his astonished compan-4
ions, having been Ave minutes on the
Darapbt. ..'

Character. OF the Horse.

In the section of 81 horse, strength,
soundness, size, form, health, age, pedi-
gree, color, etc, are all taken into con-
sideration, but the good or bad quail
ties, the character, receive little atten-
ton. Still nothing adds to or detracts
more from the animals real value. T
think this indifference arises from a
common notion that the character can
not be determined beforehand, But it
is revealed as plainly as are soundness,
age and strength. The plan to be ad-
opted is this: Select two horses whose
dispositions you are familiar with--one
gentle, one vicious. The points to be
observed are all about the head. Study
the head we'll Look first at the eyes,
then the nasal contour. then the ears,
and afterward all the other points about
the head. When you have done this
select other horses whose characters
you know. In surprisingly short time
you will have learned wherein the eve,
nose, ears, ETC., Of vicious horse differ
from these organs of gentle horse
Then select two horses again-one intel
igent and one dumb. Study the same
points, most particularly the eyes, how
ever, and you will soon be able to dis
ting1ish an Intelligent from a dumb
horse
In this way a person Of ordinary abil-
ity can learn to distinguish the charac-
ter of horse in a few months of study.
The information thus gained may save
him runaway, perhaps a limb Of life,
and it is especially valuable to one who
has young horses to train. 1t is appar-
ent that q nervous, excitable horse
should not receive the same treatment
accorded a heavy, sluggish animal. It
May be ne cessary to use the whip on the
latter when to apply it to the former
would be the worst policy imaginable.
So horse that is very sensitive, thin
skinned and hot blooded, or one vicious
and treacherous, should be treated en-
tirely different in training from the kind,
docile, family horse" Ignorance of
these facts very often increase, instead
of diminish, the faults of the horses.
Accorded right treatment the high
strung colt might be reduced TO sub
nlissiveness; but wrongly treated he is
rendered vicious And I have found
that wrong treatment OF colts in train
ing proceeded far more often from fail
ure to critically distinguish traits OF
character than from any other fault.

American Wives of Titled Britous.

London Letter And now, Just a
few words as TO the marriages of Ameri-
can women among the English aristo-
czacy. l hate taken the trouble to look
into the thing, and I find that some
American girls have made some Stgrand
alliances" in England. Beginning with
the present century, itappears that in
1900 Baron Ashb1lrton married Miss
Anne Bingham, of Philadelphia In
the same year Baron Erskine married
a daughter of General Cad valader, Of
the same city. In 1928 the Duke Of
Leeds married Miss Cation, Of Balti-
more. In1S62 Lord Abinger married
daughter Of Commodore Magruder,
of the United States Navy. In 1872 the
Hon. Henry Wodehouse (the Earl Of
Kimberley's brother) married Miss
King, of Georgia, the lady after
ward, in 1880, marrying the Marquis Of
Anglesey. In 1875 Viscount Vaudeville
married Miss Yznaga, of New York and
about the same time Lord Randolph
Churchill married Miss Jerome, of the
same place I think this is a pretty
good showing. You can't go any high
er than dukes and marquises in this
country, for princes can only marry
"royalties.' And then, aside from his
title, Lord Randolph Churchill is one
of the rising statesmen of his time, and

Remedies for Sleeplessness.

sleeplessness.--"1. A light supper.
2. Fold soft white cloth twice, four
inches one way and three inches the
other, wiring from tepid water and place
at the back of the neck at the base of
the brain. It will induce sleep. I
have tried It for one insane with fever
with good results. 8. DR.. Franklin s
remedy When you are awakened by
uneasiness and find you cannot sleep
again, get out of bed, beat up and turn
your pillow, shake the bed clothes we'll
with at least twenty shake, then throw
the bed open and let it cool; in the
meanwhile continue undressed, walk
about your chamber till your skin has
had time to discharge it's load, which it
will do sooner as the air may be drier
and cooler. When you begin to feel the
cool aiy unpleasant, then return to your
bed: soon you will fall asleep and your
sleep will be sweet and pleasant M. -

sleeplessaess, by permitting all the
blood to rush to the head. In that case
a light meal should be taken as a sleep
