He Twisted Her Tail.

1t was COW, with mild brown eyes,
auburn bangs, and q tail with a loose
| lock on the end, that switched the air
and knocked imaginary flies into the
hereafter with snap. She was being
led down West Street, toward the Cort-
land Street Ferry, by a ferocious-look-
ing Jerseyman, whose complexion,
| owing to the cold weather and hot
whisky, was red as meteoric sunset.
Suddenly, with what was apparently
| unnecessary cruelty, the Jerseyman
| struck the cow across the flank with a
club. swung his arms over his head,
danced maddening double shuttle in
the street, and sat down with strange
rapidity upon car-rail. The cow looked
over her shoulder approvingly,
and stood in her tracks. The Jersey
man arose from the impression he had
made upon the ice, smoothed his coat
tails caressingly, and started toward
the COW. He raped her once, spat on
his hands, raped her twice, put his
shoulder against her side-all to move
her out of the track of the dray-but to
no avail. A crowd assembled. The
Jerseyman got lots of sympathy but no
assistance. One man suggested that
she had frozen fast; another that she
was undecided about the policy of the
new Board of Aldermen; a third that
| she was one of II. .. rs unbalanced
bids and was afraid of Jersey justice.
The owner went few yards ahead,
grinned CHASTITY grin, and shaking his
club behind him in suppressed fury
pleaded in persuasive tones: 'Come.
Mooly-come, Mooly--Mooly." But
Mooly saw the club.
At last from the crowd stepped a
lank and unshaven specimen of a long
shoreman. He was gifted with wis
dom beyond his kind. He drew the
owner of the cow aside and whispered
| in his ear: Twist her tail" The
Jerseyman shook his head. Then. as
though bidding for the support of the
multitude, the 'longshoreman raised
his arm and, making a sweeping gest
ure, exclaimed:
s.Gents, says twist her tall
Twist it yerself,' was the answer:
A glance of scorn upon the crowd,
and the 'longshoreman barred his
brawny arm and stepped up to the COW.
He took the love.lock in his hand; ran
his fingers through it and clinched
them, grasped the middle of the tail
with his left hand and tried to tie a
knot. An agonizing silence, which
was broken by a groan and dotted with
a broad-brimmed hat, a pair of suspen-
ders and the arms and legs of a long
shoreman doing calisthenics in the
frosty air. The battered remains of
the 'longshoreman were carried away
muttering blasphemy. The cow, after
she had replaced her hind hoofs on the
ground, was led on to the ferry by the
Jerseyman, who observed as he paid
his fare:

-Lecturing in Boston upon "Educa
ton in Russia" DR.. Theodore Vetter
said that the Russians reputation as
linguists is due to their peculiar in
straction in childhood. The infant has
a French nurse for 3 sole attendant
until it is six years of age. BY that time
it has learned to speak the French
language. Then the German governess
comes in and is the child's constant
companion. Later the English tongue
is acquired in the same way. At twelve
the girls continue their studies at home
and submit to mammals matchmaking.
The boys go away to the gymnasia.
The course there embraces seven years
and fits the youth for professional
course at the university.

organs which escape the sword Ears are
slit in two, noses cut off in rare instances,
and the general physiognomy carved accord
ing to every conceivable pattern. The arms,

leather pads. Of course these superior young
men who devote themselves to this noble art
are inclined to be very exclusive. If young
man is so commonplace as to choose to de-
vote himself TO the study of the prescribed

These elegant butchers may be further
identified by the jaunty little cap. Just large
enough to shelter the brains, which rests like
a depressed thimble upon one side of their
heads. If they have advanced to certain
point, they have pink cord or ribbon around
the neck which disappears in the left-hand
vest pocket. 1 should think they might be
led about by this ribbon, but have never
yet seen 1t so employed. Squads of these
modern knights are in the habit of invading
cafe, under the guidance and protection of
a corps servant. There they sip coffee and
chew sweetmsats quite as intelligently as the
other patrons. The guardian stands by,
ready to attend to any want, and ready at the
last to settle the bill collectively l suppose
this is because the corps students consider
it too menial an act to pay for their orders
individually with common filthy lucre but
| have a suspicion that it is also partly owing
to the exhaustive nature of the mental opera
ton involved in making change. They rely
upon the guardian to distribute the expense
equally afterwards. The constant attendance
of the guardian is necessary in order to af-
ford relief in case some of the pastry should
