Horse Sense.

never buy horse with a low, narrow
forehead. Such forehead belongs to all
vicious horses, kickers bad runaways, ETC.
i'll fact, every vice is found I'M horse with a
low, narrow forehead, and never in the on
posite. In the high and broad forehead we
have predominating cerebrum or ntelec.
tual brain. In the low and narrow fore
head we have the predominating cerebellum
or low brain. Never buy such horses ON
any account.
Suspending a sack Tor anything else) be.
hind horse to prevent kicking is worse than
ridiculous. Such an act is quite contrary to
the commonest grooming, and in every point
illogical. l have seen basket tried instead
OF sack. 1t ruined the animal. There is
no education or training in such foolhardy
act.
Nothing is more true than the fact that the
kind Of bit used on horse has very much
to do with his conduct Many horses will
be iretful and unsteady with chatting, sharp
bit, that would otherwise be gentle and pleas
ant with less severe one. A sharp, severe
bit is not the subduer of a horses temper by
any means. 1t does quite often excite MANY
bad habits and unpleasant acts in horse
which would be dormant if otherwise treat
ed.
No horse requires so good and thorough n
breaking as the family horse. A good family
horse is one ofthe most valuable in the horse
market at all times. Much of famiy's COM
fort and safety depends upon the quality OF
the family horse. None but thoroughly
broken, good tempered animal should be used
for family horse.
There is no question in my mind as to the
correctness of the assertion that medium
sized horse is in every respect the best for the
farmer. He will do more work and last
longer, and can be used occasionally for q
roadster without injury
An habitual rolling horse should have
| either loose box or a narrow stall. A horse
| in a box stall would not be much better of
than in an ordinary stall if tied He should
be loose. All horses in box stalls should be
loose, as the name of box stall suggests
this.-Dr Horne, in National Stockman.

was the unanimous response.
THAT happened in Buena Vista The trial
had almost terminated, and young and OBJ
streperous lawyer was arguing to the court
to make a certain charge to the jury. The
proposed charge did not strike the judicial
ear with favor, and he declared himself
against it. The lawyer insisted with such
intensity that the court got angry. In those
days it was the custom to call leading law.

The Character of HAYDN.

Haydn was a man who made the most of
his gifts. He was never satisfied, and al
ways strove to reach a higher ideal. He
once said: 81 have only Just learned in my
old age to use the embellishments, and
now that do understand them 1 must leave
the world" He composed so much that one
would think he wrote quickly, but such was
not the case. When an idea occurred to
him, he would note it in little book that he
always carried with him, and afterward he
would work it over with the greatest of care.
He felt his genius was gift from God which
he must use for the good of others. "God
has given me talent" he said, land thank
Him for it. | think | have done my duty
and have been of use in my generation" In
writing for the pianoforte, he paid great at
tention to the melody, which renders his
works equally interesting to young and old.
They are always fresh and cheerful, and are
often founded on some little romance or in.
cident. Haydn did so much for musical
composition, especially the symphony, and
was so genial and kind to his fellow-musi-
clans, and so fond of children, that in his
later years he was always called Papa
Haydn" The name is still frequently used
in referring to him.

WILD BEASTS OFINDIA.
Their Terrible Destruction of Human
and Animal Life.

and Animal Life.
More than $1,000 persons are annually de-
stroyed in British India by wild beasts. The
| tiger alone, in 1888, killed 9S5 people, besides
10000 cattle
Venomous serpents destroy immense nun
bers of wayfarers. Owing to the heat of the
climate, poor persons travel mostly by night
| and walk bare-fOoted or wear only IL sandal
that does not protect the ankles The dead.
ly cobra is seldom active in the daytime, but
he may be trodden upon in the darkness by
uncovered feet. He attacks the traveller
who is found in the morning dead upon the
road.
Often the shortest path between two
villages lies through jungle, where, in the
daytime, the heat will rise to 100 degrees
under the blazing sun of India. The temp
tation to defer the journey until after sunset
is, to most natives, irresistible, and in the
tropics darkness quickly follows the depar-
ture OF the sun. The natives walk in Indian
file in the narrow track, and loiterer falls
an easy prey to tiger crouching in ambush.
In many parts of India, despite the utmost
efforts ofthe Government, wild beasts render
lite hard indeed to the people, for one pair of
full-grown tigers, with cubs, will destroy
from four to six bullocks each week. Often,
in pure wantonness, Il tiger will kill two or
three cattle when he wants only small part
of one, A family OFFICERS will kill in n week
more animals than family of farmers can
eat in year.
The panther and the leopard are also terri
BILE cattle eaters, and the leopard has par.
ticular habit of carrying off the dogs which
are expected to guard the herd from his at.
tacks. The Indian wolf is noted for his au-
dacity in selling children. In India, animals
have character of ferocty which makes hu-
man life in some districts well-nigh insup-
portable.

Is he the only hero-he whose deeds
Are writ on this worlds records? Whose great
name
Is haloed with the splendid light of Fame?
Methnks that if one heart in silence bleeds
For grief DER frail humanity's dire needs
Tries earnestly to purify from shame
One fallen soul, to right one wrong one blame,
To bring the flowers of good from out the weeds
OF one poor, downcast life--to him the crown
OF higher honors than the conquerer's bays
Shall be awarded. His the nobler place,
The loftier rank, the hoiler renown-
For, step by step, his unmasked, simple ways
Shall lead him upward till he sees Gods face.

bribery

He who takes bride will strip the dead
Will rob an orphan of his crust of bread;
So lost to justice, equity and right,
That man will steal the aged widows mite,
Pillage the palace of the King of kings
And clip the gliding from an angels wings

Middle Brakeman Theodore McPhear-
 son of This City Struck by the Cov-
 cred Bridge at Main Street, West
 Haven, and Instantly KIied.
 Stretched out on freight truck on the platform of the Union depot about half past nine o'clock last night lay the man. gled and bloody remains of a man about thirty years of age with his clothes badly torn. Around the truck stood Superintend- ent Wallace, Officer Shanley and about dozen train men, who shuddered and turned away as they viewed the bloody remains A Jams Express office stood the police am bulance waiting for Medical Examiner White to arrive and examine the remains before they were removed to the morgue. Dr. White arrived soon after and made an examination of the body of deceased, but found no papers or money on his person. His head was smashed in, his left arm was cut of and his hand badly crushed and his right leg cut off above the knee, his feet crushed and he was otherwise mang1ed. After the remains had been examined they were put into the ambulance, rough blan- ket was thrown over them and they were taken 10 the morgue, where the coroner will to day hold an inquest. From railroad men present it was learned that the remains were thore of Theodore McPhearson, single man; and that he boarded at 26 Spring street MePhearson on the twenty-second of last September entered the employ of the Consol- idated road, coming from New York ele- vated road where he was employed He was what is known middle man on the extra Harlem River freight which leaves this city at 9:30 p. n.. there being five brakemen on the train, which is in charge of Conductor An drew Garfield. McPhearson was at his post as usual when the train left this city last evening, but when the train reached West Haven depot he was missed from his post although his lantern was standing on the middle car. The train was stopped and backed up and Brakeman Henry B. Whit ney walked down the track with his lantern. As Whitney was passing under the covered bridge at Main street. he saw what looked like bundle of rags lying by the side of the track, and upon closer examina ton discovered to his horror that it was the mangled remains of McPhearson. The Bos- ton freight train due here about 10 o'clock was signalled and the remains of McPhearson were brought to this city. McPhearson formerly lived with his parents in Wisconsin. After the inquest has been held, the coroner deem ing it necessary for prudential reasons the remains will be buried at the expense of the railroad
