THERR Is a blacksmith named Forreysou

THERE Is a blacksmith named Forreyson Ia
Carson, Nevada, who has evolved an inven-
ton for lightning the labors Of the horse
IL is new kind OF road cart and is intend
ed to give the horse a chance to ride in cart
as well as the driver. The cart has four
nigh wheels and the space between arched,
so that the horse is hitched urder the wagon
between the wheels. his head projecting q
little beyond the front wheels and his tail
barely clearing the hind wheels. The dri-
yer sits just over the horses neck, and the
others In the wagon face outward on each
side. The horse is so fastened that tn pull
ing is distributed over his body and does not
all come on his neck and shoulders. In this
position he is greatly protected from the sun
and storm. thereby enabled to make long
journeys with less fatigue. But this is not
all. There is a belly-band that lifts the horse
up on making the descent of a hill and he
rides down, q series OF brakes controlling
the momentum of tie vehicle. When the
horse attempts to run away the crank /:
turned on and he Is lifted till be become:
submissive. This stupendous myth Travelled
all the way from Carson, Nevada.

A STERLING OLD POEM

Man upraised above his fellows,
OFT forgeIs his fellows then
Steis-rulers-loris, remember
ihat yoar meanest kinds are iueu
Arn or labor, men Of feeling.
Men OF thoughts, men OF fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobling narae.
There are foam embroidered oceans.
There are 1 little wood clad riIls;
Ihere are feeble inch-high saplings.
There are cedars en- tho hf;is.
Ood' VINO counts by souls not stations,
Loves and prOspers you ana me
For TO Him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF nations wealth and fame
Titled laziness is pensioned,
sd and fattened on the same
By the sweat OF others fOreheAds.
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom,
Nainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and Justice are eternal,
Born with lOvelluess and light
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there Is a sunny right
God, Whose world wide voice is sinpinR
Boundloss love to you and me,
Links oppression with its title,
But as pebbles in the sea.

MENTAL ABSTRACTION.

Some OF the Oddities Winch Distinguish
Great People.

like appearance to the mental state, is
apt to appear symptOmatic of queer
ness in the head. But in order that it
may find a place among distinctly alb
normal features this absence of mind
must attain a certain depth ana persist
ICE The ancient story Of A~rchimedes,
and the amusing anecdotes of NewtOn's
fits, if authentic, might be said perhaps
to illustrate the bOrder-line between a
normal and an abnormal condition of
mind. A more distinctly pathological
case is that of Beethoven, who could not
be made to understand why his stand
ing in his night atIre at an open win
dow should attract the irreverent notice
of the street boys. For in this case we
have a temporary incapacity to perceive
exterior objects and their relations; and
a deeper incapacity of a like nature
clearly shows itself in poor JOhnsOn's
standing before the town clock vainly
trying t make out the hour.
This same aloOfness of mind from the
external world hetrays itself in many of
the eccentric habits attributed to men
and women of genius. Here. again.
johnson serves as a good instance. HIS
announcement habi! of suddenly breaking
out with scraps of the Lords Prayer in
a fashionable assembly marks a dis
tinctly dangerous drifting away of the
inner life from the firm anchorage of
external fact.
In the cases just considered we have
to do with a kind of mental blindness
to outer circumstances. A further ad-
vance along the line of intellectual
degeneration is seen in the persistence
of vivid IDEAS. commonly anticipations
Of evil of some kind. which have no
basis in external reality. Johnson's
dislike to particular alleys in his London
walks. aud Madame de Stacl's bizarre
idea that she would suffer from cold
when buried. may be taken as examples
of these painful delus.ons or idees Pres.
A more serious stage Of such decisions
is seen in the case of Pascal. who is said
to have been haunted by the fear of q
gulf yawning just in front of him. which
sometimes became so overmastering
that he had to be fastened by a chain to
keep him from leaping forward
