A White Horse Of Ansther Color
Our sister counties, Marion ant
Harrison, have been somewhat pro
life In their comments and criticisms
of the conduct of "Old Mongahail
toward pending railroad projects.
They have heretofore handled III
without gloves for our obstinacy il
rejecting propositions for public sub
scriptions to these enterprises; fol
our stinginess in withholding aid
and cooperation with them in build.
ing road for mutual benefits; fol
refusing grants of rights Of way and
exacting large prices for lands neces.
sary to these railroads; and for our
"ornarincss" and stupidity on gen
eral principles in standing in the
way Of public improvement and pro
gress.
We had come to look at ourselves,
in consequence Of these criticisms,
is a very mean and impecunious kind
of people. And on the other hand
we had come to regard our sister
counties as models of liberality, mu-
niicent public spirit, broad minded
and generous in all their promptings
and purposes. They had subscribed
to a railroad, we had refused; they
had invited the companies to come
through their lands free Of charge,
we had remained mum and indiffer-
ent until they did come and then ex
acted unreasonable prices: they were
organizing, moving, making much
noise and talking loud, while we were
simply passive and even incredulous
of any report or purpose on the part
of any company to build a railroad.
They were magnanimous, we were
pusillanimous.
We have felt very much Inundated
in consequence of the invidious con-
trast in which these things have
placed us.
We feel better now!
We have had late news from Marion
and Harrison!
We understand the w. Va. Il Pa.
company has got itself in condition
to build road and have come to
claim that the pledges of money and
rights of way in these counties be
made good.
Maybe Marion and Harrison never
expected that any such claim would
be made?
But the W. Va. & Pa. are asking
for both money and rights Of way.
They are asking for both and get
ting neither.
In Marion they are kicking against
paying the money already voted and
pledged to this company. They are
too, against any donations
Of rights of way.
In both Marion and Harrison the
matter of rights of way have become
such a buggaboo to the company as
almost to discourage if not to defeat
further progress!
just think OF it.
These magnanimous and magnifi-
cent people, putting themselves on
plane with "Old Mongahail''-worse
than Matchmaking great, big noise,
about what they had done and would
do, and calling US bad names and
ugly faces at us because we
refused to do likewise, and then on
the first demand for performance,
going squarely back on their fair
promises.
Verify, we have come to the con-
clusion that people are very much
alike all over the world-with prob
ably, this one exception: that in "Old
Mongahail'' they will promise moth
ing and perform nothing, while in
the more enterprising counties of
Marion and Harrison they promise
everything but perform nothing.

The Trade in Birds.

A busy and quiet industry in this city
is that of the bird fanciers. A Broadway
dealer in canary birds informed Herald
reporter that he had last year imported
100, 900 birds, which were readily dis
posed Of at fair prices. They are gener-
ally brought from the Hartz mountains,
Germany.
From the large dealers fine male
canary, with good voice, can be bought
for So. Choice specimens, with extraor-
dinary vocal powers, bring sometimes
$40. Female birds, for breeding pur-
poses, sell for 81. Next to the canary,
the mocking bird is most in demand
Those whose vocal powers are well de-
veloped are sold for $25 and upward.
The birds come from Virginia, North
Carolina and other Southern States.
Most of them are captured when young
and hardly able to fly. The old ones are
often Gagged with them. A fine speci-
men of the mocking bird species comes
from Mexico. The bullfnch is highly
regarded when well trained. A good
whistler sells from $40 to $40. The
goldfinch, chafiinch, nightingale, lark
and the Iinnets and thrushes are also
priced as songsters.
OF other birds not songsters thirty diff
ferent species, kept as pets for their
beauty or requirements, may be found in
the market. Of these the parrot is most
in demand A well trained bird of either
the gray African variety or the green
American is worth $50, or even 800.
The most brilliantly colored birds are
the Australian paroquets and strawberry
finches.-Neso York Her Id.

Earthquake Etiquette.

The following good story is from
ssStorrns and Sunshine of Soldiers
Life::n A tremor in the earth was per-
ceptible throughout the remainder of the
day, and the Afghans were, for the time
being. overwhelmed with terror. Brigat
dier Shelton had quarreled with almos
every one of the officers except Macken-
zie, with whom he happened to be sit
ting on bench on the roof of a house
when the shock took place. He looked
round fercely to see who was shaking
his bench. Mackenzie cried: 'It's an
earthquake, brigadier" and, calling to
Lady Sale, made for the stairs, which
were cracking and falling about them,
and, by Gods mercy, they all reached
the bottom in safety. In the evening
Shelton came up and said: Mackenzie,
l want to speak to you-n Every well,
brigadier.'' In solemn tone, to make
him feel the enormity of the offense
mackenzie, you went down stairs first
today to which the latter coolly re-
piled: 'It's the fashion in an earthquake,

1t might seem an assumption on our
part if we were to assert that we could
single out the best elocutionists by visit
ing their stables and scrutinizing their
saddIe-horses; adding that, apart from
the mere expansion of the lungs, habitual
riding impaired q purer and better
melody to their utterance on the stage
And thus it comes about. According
to an interesting paper recently read at
the French academy by an eminent ply
siologist, the different measure and
rhythm in music may be ascertained from
the amble, trot and gallop Of horse,
which correspond with the beat Of the
human pulse in normal condition. BY
way of experiment, NJ. Leyign gives the
rule for gaining an exact knowledge Of
measure. Mount a horse, make it
amble, trot Or gallop and mark The
time.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

An interesting result Of the late earth
quake in England has been noticed in
the wells of Colchester, the water-level
in which commenced to rise soon after
the shock, and in few days reached
point eight feet above the highest ever
before known. 1t now stands at about
seven feet above the former high-water
mark.
The researches of DR.. F. W. East, an
English physician, have shown that in
fection may be conveyed in moist and
quiet atmosphere from smallpox hospi-
tails to houses in the vicinity. Other OBJ
servers are inclined to believe that other
diseases which are known to be spread
by the air owe their transmission solely
to the influence Of moisture.

According to Professor r. Fl. Tucker,
Jr., between 600 and 700 comets have
been recorded, and 2S5 Of them have
had their orbits determined with greater
or less exactness. A probable estimate
of the number of comets which have
come into our solar system since the
beginning Of the Christian era, under
such conditions as to have been visible
by the aid Of our modern appliances, is
1000.

Robust children cross the right over the

Among opra dancers some always cross

Infants under three years cross the left

that men generally cross the right leg

from these facts, the most important one
being that the left brain develops before

An EIenhant that Reads.

Louis E. Cook, circus agent, tells a
remarkable story that illustrates the ele-
plants wonderful capacity for receiving
and retaining impressions, and at the
same time shows the great possibilities
still offered in the direction of educating
pachyderm.
"Our trainer, George Conklin," said
Mr. Cook, ''while in New York last win
ter, had several conversations with an
eminent zoologist, who, among other
theories, advanced this, that the elephant
could be taught to read written charac-
ters. He explained that the education
Of the great beast had gone even further
than mere feats Of memory, either in the
matter of language or judging Of shapes
and forms. 1t had been trained to do
work of many kinds in the East, such as
piling lumber in systematic columns, and
even setting the heavy stones in masonry,
SO that expert workmen seldom found it
necessary to make any changes in their
position. The cunning of the elephant
was well known, for the trained monster
was often used to lure his wild brethren
into snares, and frequently assistin throw
ing and holding down the captive until
the chains were placed upon him
''The zoologist used other arguments
of the same kind, and Conklin at last de-
termined to make the attempt, and deter
mine the possibility Of teaching the ele-
phant how to read. He selected sRajah, ;
fifteen year Older, for the experiment.
He got blackboard, two feet long and
eight inches wide, on which to inscribe
the letters. He did not begin, however,
by teaching the animal the alphabet. He
did not seem to want to make the exper-
iment in that way, as it might be too
tedious; but, as you know, ring or trained
animals know all the words of command
spoken by the trainer. They will stop
when he cries halt, move on when he
says march, run at the order Of double
quick, and, indeed, obey every word
spoken to them Well. Conklin hit upon
this plan. He took 'Rajah' into the ring
at least once every day, and writing the
word March, in Roman characters about
six inches long on the board, placed it
before the animals eyes, and after allow
ing him to scan it, pointed to the white
letters, shouted the order March, which,
of course, was complied with. He found
that writing tine letters while the board
was held before the elephant was a surer
way Of attracting the animals attention
to the characters, SO he now writes in
this way Rajah' soon grew accustomed
to the board and now very seldom makes
a mistake when written command il
presented to him. He will march the
moment the last letter is finished, halt
when the trainer shows him the word,
and, indeed, recognizes every inscription
of this kind Conklin places on the board.
The elephant will not be introduced into
the ring in this new art until the next
season, bv which time the trainer thinks
! it possible to educate the whole herd in
reading, so that the words of command
may be given on large blackboard.

PLANTING THE APPLE TREE.

Come, let us plant the apple treel
Cleave the tough greensward with the spade
Wide let its hollow bed be made,
There gently lay the roots, and there
Sift the dark mold with kindly care,
And press it DER them tenderly;
As round the sleeping infants feet,
We softly fold the cradle-sheet,
So plant we the apple tree.
What plant we in the apple tree?
Buds, which the breath of summer days
Shall lengthen into leafy sprays;
Boughs, which the thrush with crimson breast
Shall haunt and sing, and hide her nest.
We plant upon the sunny lea
A shadow for the noontide hour,
A shelter from the summer shower,
When we plant the apple tree.
What plant we in the apple treea
Sweets for hundred fiowery springs,
To load the May winds restless wings;
When from the orchard row, he pours
Its fragrance through our open doors,
A world of blossoms for the bee
Flowers for the sick girls silent room,
For the glad infant sprigs of bloom,
We plant with the apple tree.
What plant we with the apple treea
Fruits that shall swell in sunny June,
And redden in the August noon,
And drop as gentle airs came by
That fan the blue September sky;
While children, wild with noisy glee,
Shall search their fragrance as they pass,
And search for them the tufted grass
At the foot Of the apple tree
