How to Move a BaIky Horse.

man had him by the bit, another by the

On Lies Threshold.

A dear, benevolent old gentleman gave
to an eniaiac terrible fine goat. This was
few days ago. The youngster was
naturally delighted with his pet. He
gave out vaguely to his friends ard
enemies that ne was training an animal
which would be a terror TO the neighbor-
hood Doubles the goat would have
proved a very disturbing element in
society if its youthful owner had not
trained it a trihe too fine.
It came about in this wise:
The goat-and Of this there is no doubt
stood badly in need Of a washing.
Tommy as its owner may be called for
the occasion, is not generally oyerfond of
washing, but as regarding goats he was
lover Of cleanliness So he got garden
hose and attached it TO a hydrant. Then
he tied up the goat securely and played
upon it till the animals hair was as clean
as the streets of Pittsburg will be at the
millennium
Theft Tommy fell to communing with
himself
"lf," reasoned he, "the goat was so
dirty outside, he must be very far from
clean inside
This seemed conclusive to Tommy's
companions, and they consented to hold
the goat while he effected the internal
publication.
Tommy inserted the nozzle Of the hose
into the goats mouth.
II is painful subject.
But the goat has very pretty grave at
the end Of the lawn between two laurel
bushes.

Dancing with a Corpse.

Burials alive are far more common
in hot countries, where the burial takes
place within twenty-four hours after death
than they are here, where one gets, rs
rule, weeks grace. In Spain the body
is frequently removed to the undertakers
shop few hours after death. In one Of
the largest establishments in Madrid,
some years ago, an extraordinary sight
was witnessed. A gentleman was brought
in his casketY one afternoon and placed
in the room set apart for that branch of
the business The proprietor lived over
his premises, and on this espee ial even
ing was giving grand ban.
When the ball was at its height a
gentleman in full evening dress suddenly

Was America Ever discovered.

At the time when Columbus started in
search of the New World, nearly every
man, woman and child in Europe insist
ed that there was no New World to dis
cover. When he came back, crowned
with success, a krge proportion of these
good people adhered to their theory; and
if they were alive to-day many of them
would doubtles insist that America had
never been discovered at all. A man
will give up anything in the world more
readily than pet theory. For example
look at the individuals who still main

Ten years later.
At the exhibition Of machinery in the
Centennial Exposition one remarkable
invention challenged continual interest
and admiration. 1t combined the appli-
cation of principle which, though often
tried, had never before succeeded. One
morning a distinguished looking foreign
er paused among the crowd of spectators
standing before it. On his arm leaned a
beautiful girl, evidently his daughter As
it happened, group of gentlemen we're
discussing its peculiar excellencies and
their remarks being in their own native
tongue, attracted their attention.
"These Americans" said one, carry
off the palm everywhere for mechanical
ingenuity"
But" said another, this name is not
an American one. see not why it should
be in this particular department"
"It has right here,r was the answer,
"for Mr.. Friedhoifs talent received its
first impetus in this his adopted country,
of which he has become naturalized
citizen"

den's sister-gave sudden start.

Another hour found them at Norden's
home,
In the beautiful, dignified woman who
came forward to receive them, it would
have been hard to recognize the startled
girl in her peasant dress, whom Norden
had introduced to them so suddenly as
his wife on that never-to- be-forgotten
morning, long ago.
Hilda had come to the New World
with an ideal to attain to, as well as Nor

him, and of the proud old name he had
bestowed upon her, and she had spared
no pains to accomplish herself.
Now she was richly rewarded ; for in
parting the nobleman kissed her first
upon one cheek, then upon the other,
saying in his courtly way:
Good night, my daughter. hope it
