The Arab and his Horse

The Arabians never beat their
horses; they never cut their tails
they treat them gently; they speak
to them and seem to hold a dis
course they lse them as friends
they never attempt to increase their
speed by the whip, or spur them,
but in case of great necessity. They
never fix them to stake in the
fields, but suffer them to pasture at
large around their habitations and
they come running the moment that
they hear the sound OF their master s
voice. In consequence ofsuch treat
ment these animals become docile
and tractable in the highest degree
They resort at night to their tents,
and lie down in the midst of the
children without even hurting them
in the slightest manner. The little
boys and girls are often seen upon
the body or neck of the mare, while
the beasts continue inoffensive and
harmless, permitting them to play
with and caress them without in
jury.

y Curious Calling.

There are various strange callings
exercised in great cities by which
people earn their daily bread, and
that followed bv what is termed the
walker up" in Paris is one of thea.
The wakers-up are generally OLD
men past active work, and the Win
ter is their best season. When the
nights are long and the comforts of a
warm bed are apt to initiate against
early rising, the reUeiHa0 sets out
between 3 and t in the morning,
taking his way through the suburbs
adjoining the Notifications, mostly
inhabited by laborers or artisans.
His duty is to arouse those whose
employment necessitates their being
up before daybreak, and who, but
for his services. might very frequent
ly oversleep themselves. He calls
them by altering a loud whoop or
cry, and waits before a house to as

door, or an answer within. Every

six Inches OF STRING

You see that large factory? 1t
covers the entire block. Half a
million of money wouldn't buy it.
Well, it was built by a little piece
eff cord not more than six inches
long"
Here the speaker paused and
scrutinized the reporters couRte-
nance for indications of incredulitv
not to say astonishment. But the
narrator was talking to a man who,
since the introduction ef the tele-
phone, has made it a point of prin-
ciple to be ready for anything and to
believe what he hears. The speaker
added:
Eight years ago there lived on
the west side, in the third story of a
cheap tenement, down near the
North River, a poor mechanic, who
was kept poor because he had a
passion for inventing; it amounted
to a passion. He didn't drink and
didn't travel with the politicians
and all who knew his family won
dered why they should be so poor.
Time passed on, and still the man
was poor. But at last he perfected
an invention-the simplest thing on
earth-and with his patent in his
hand he went down town one day,
and called for the head OF a house
whose check was current for five
figures anywhere in ''the street.
The inventor offered to sell two
thirds Of his patent for $4,000 if
the house would bind itself to put
100000 into factories for producing
the little thing that he had invent
ed. The firm signed papers in an
hour from the time OF hearing the
proposal, and in another hour the
inventor had converted the firms
check ior $4,000 into greenbacks.
Lots were bought and factories were
erected. The business speedily grew
to gigantic proportions, and atlength
the firm acquired all the rest of the
block and covered it with brick and
mortar, and now the inventor is able
to associate with the millionaires.
The little glove fastener-a piece OF
cord about six inches long and a
dozen little metal hooks or buttons
is the thing that was invented. -

Gently assembled the mountain with

who conducted them into a snug

the terror of the plains seated him

united the red bapdaua handker-

ed disdainfully around.

"Rattlesnake on toastl'' yelled the

the cook.
There was a slight tiutter among
the guests at this strange erder, and
the cowboy was scanned curious
eyes.
He looked a little disconnected
at having his order so promptly
taken, and glanced furtivelr toward
the front of the house. He saw the
cooks and walters engaged in filling
orders, and looking as solemn as a
graveyard after midnight.
He assumed a nenchalant air and
picked his teeth with his fork.
A cook deity removed the skin
from a pickerel and, cutting a strip
the proper shape, placed it in a
spider.
The waiter who had taken tbs
order came tripping back to the bold
bucarneer of the pampas.
"Will you have your snake well
done or rare :"
"Rare, with oodles of milk gravy
on it"
Gimme that snake rare--milk

the cook.
