The Colors Of Horses.

The Arabs of Sahara are very partic-
ular as to the color of their horses.
White is the color for Princes, but does
not stand heat. The black brings good
fortune, but fears rocky ground. The
chestnut is the most active. If one tells
you that he has seen horse fly in the
air, ask of what color it was; if he re-
plies "chestnut," believe him. In a
combat against chestnut you must
have chestnut. The bay is tho hard
lest and most sober. If one tells you
horse has leaped to the bottom of a
precipice without hurting himself, ask
OF what color he was, and if he replies
bay" believe him. Ben Dyab, re-
nowned chief of the desert, happening
one day. to be pursued by, Saad-
el-Zenaty,, turned to his son and
asked, "What hor ses are in the front
of the enemy?" 'White horses" re-
piled the son. *'It is we'll; let us make
for the sunny side, and they will melt
away like butter" Some time after
ward Ben Dyab again turned to his son
and said, ''What horses are in the front
of the enemy?" "Black ho"a4s," cried
his son. 1T is we'll; let us max for
stony ground, and we shall have moth
ing to fear; they are the negroes Of the
Soudan. who cannot walk with bare feet
upon the fints." He changed his
course. and the black horses were speed
lily distanced. A third time Ben Dyab
asked, "And now what horses are in the
front Of the enemy?" Dark chestnuts
and dark bays" ''In that case," said
Ben Dyab, "strike out, my children,
strike out and give your horses the heel
for these might perchance overtake us
had we not given barley to ours all
the summer through" -Daumas-The
Horses of Sahara.

A Monkey Story.
From the Boston Budget.

From the Boston Budget
A girl who is now exhibited in New
York, and who is said to belong to the
monkey tribe, is most likely freak of
nature, and not the missing link be-
tween man and the ape. There have
been monkeys, however, who have dis
played an intelligence almost human,
and who have shown more regard for
their kindred than some men and wom-
ell. This story will give some idea of
our meaning. Mr.. Forbes says o fe-
male monkey was shot by a friend of
his and carried TO his tent. Forty or
fifty of her tribe advanced with menac-
ing gestures, but stood still when the
gentleman pointed his gun at them.
One, however, who appeared to be the
chief of the tribe, came forward, chat
tering and threatening in furious
manner. Nothing short of firing at him
seemed likely to drive him away. At
length he approached the door of the
tent with every sign of grief and sup
plication, as if he were begging for
the body. 1t was given to him he took
it in his arms and carried it to his COM
panions with actions expressive of af-
lection, after which they all disappeared.

A Boston Romance;

Nineteen years ago female infant
was left with an Irishwoman in Boston.
The name of the child was not given,
and the only clew was handkerchief
bearing name, which was with the
childs effects. All trace of the babes
family connections were lost, and the
little one grew up in ignorance of its
father or mother, cared for by the old
woman and her family. After lapse
ofyears peculiar growth appeared on
the lid of one of the child's eyes. She
was taken to an oculist, who remarked
upon the singularity of the case, and
said that he had operated only upon one
other similar case in the course of his
practice, and that was upon the eve of
wealthy lady in city near Boston.
Here was the long hidden clew to the
child's identity. The person who took
the little girl to the oculist reported
what the doctor had said. An. attor-
ney was called in, and it was in the
process Of a long investigation devel-
oped that the name upon the handker-
chief was the name Of the manufacture
er's wife and the girls mother. The
girl was several months ago con-
fronted with her father and mother. A
settlement by the payment of several
thousand dollars for back board and
damages, so the story goes, and an an
nuity of 81 500 for the daughter, now
a young lady, was effected, it is said.
When the child was abandoned the
husband of the lady was a poor book
keeper. It was feared it is said that the
birth of the baby would anger relative
of the mother, who was possessed of
means, and so the child was given up. To-
day the book-keeper is wealthy MAUI
facturer. He his a family who have

"Archives of Otology," based on his ex-
animation of the ears and hearing Of
nearly 5000 school children, namely,
that in every case of inattention the

he thinks would be desirable once or
