HORSES THAT ARE EDUCATED.
Marvellous Performance Of a Company OF Train
ed Equines at the Haymarket.
Chicago Herald

Prof. George Bartholomew and his
twenty-four educated horses, g ave q com
plimentary entertainment recently at
the Haymarkeb theatre for the press and
theatrical profession. 4 fair sized audi
ance of theatrical people attended, and
enjoyed the novel scene hugely. The
horses seemed to understand the charac-
ter OF the spectators, and carried their
parts in manner that would put many
an Indifferent two-iegged actor to shame.
They are certainly endowed With more
than ordinary ''hoss sense" if not, as
their master claims, with something near
TO human Intelligence. They went
through intricate movements, showing an
almost perfect discipline, which could
only result from months Of patient and
skillful training.
The entertainment opened with the
horses-or scholars, as they are dignifed
on the programme-at play. On the
arrival of their master they promptly
take their places and come out one by
one TO perform their several parts. One
OF them rings a bell 30 open the school,
another finds the roll call and mis- masters
handkerchief, and third busies himself
in mathmatic&l calculations on the black
board. All refractory pupils are punished
They are broush t before tho school aud
their humiliation made as public as pos
sible, but in the hands of their trainer,
who has their confidence, the lash has no
terror and no sting. During recess they
cut great many antics. Each horse
knows his part, and does it well. One Of
them walks, marches, trots, PAGES and
gallops at the worn of command. Another
waltzes, stands on its head, goes to sleep
and snored to order. Nellie, pretty bay
FLY, rolls q barrel over teeter plank,
with her front feet, while her companions
watch her standing on pe3estals twelve
inches square The court scene is both
striking and amusing. The horses, in
two companies, engage in battle at the
closing scene, and execute their orders
more promptly and gracefully than many
a pretentious military company of uni
form ed bipeds

Newspaper Enterprise in China.
London Daily News.

Consul Hughes sends home from
Shanghai some Interesting notes on news
paper enterprise in China. In addition
to religious and illustrated periodicals
there are two daily newspapers-the Shen
Pao and the Hu Po--published in Chinese
at Shanghai. The Shen Poa has daily
circulating averaging 10000 to 1900
copies. During the Franco Chinese war,
its articles being written by patriotic
Chinese TO suit the popular taste, the
circulation increased to $4,000 copies
daily. Cheap as the paper Is, (less than
half penny it is often sold after
perusal, sometimes changing hands more
than once during the day, and 1t is then
bought by Chinese postoffice employers,
who send it TO the interior where steamers
cannot reach. The circulation of the Hu
Pao also is stated to be considerable, es-
peciatly in this province. Both these
news papers, although owned by foreig-
ers, are, we are assured, bonafde organs
of educated Chinese public opinion. In
international questions they do not al
ways take the foreign side, but their III
fuence, Mr.. Hughes tells rs, is on the
whole exerted in favor Of progress mad
civilization.

Ar certain soasOns people rush to LIor-
ida by the thousands on account of the
supposed heaIthfulness of the climate
just now they are leaving the State in
greater numbers because they regard it
as the most unhealthy State in the Union.
It does not follow that because Florida
possesses a delightful winter climate it is
healthy at all seasons, and the present
appearance of yellow fever IN Jackson
vile and other cities is but repetition
of what has often happened before in
that State. 1t is probable that the panic
which seems to have seized upon the
inhabitants Of Jacksonville is about as
foolish es the attempt 30 check tho
rRvages of the disease by cannon firing,
but people rarely act sensibly in the face
of possible danger CT this kind. The
mad rush of dwelIers in She infected cities
to the North and West renders it neces-
sary that the hoalth authorities, whether
national, State or municipal, shall use the
utmost vigilance to prevent the spread OF
the disease.

THE Supreme Court of Washington
Territory has decided that the Woman
suffrage act passed by the Territorial
Legislature a year or two ago is uncon-
stitutionaI. The decision is based on the
ground that the word ''citizens," as used
in the act of Congress organizing the
Territory, is restricted to males. It de-
olsres that Che United States law pro-
viding for the election of one Delegate
from each Territory to Congress, in say
ing that such . Delegate shall be ''eiti-
Ben," did not mean to imply that women
might be elected. It then adds: 1.-THE
whole structure of the Constitu-
ton of the United States is based upon
the idea present in the minds of the
makers OF it-that officers provided for
therein shall be msles, the form of every
word in the Constitution relating to the
holding of Office under that Constitution
being masculine. Consequently, the
Legislature oyer-stepped its power in
comforting the right of suffrage upon
women. The Judgment of the lower
court Is therefore affirmed"

TIE bicycle is gradually being recog-
nized as q vehicle for travel entitled to
the same street rights IS carriages. Thab
there are drivers who consider the wheel
as a plaything intrUding on their fright
Of way is shown by the conduct Of aProVi-
dence (R. L. tesmster, who purposoly
rode against wheelman. The court,
however, decided in favor Of tho wheel
man, and established a precedent in de-
oIaring that bicycles were IN common use
enough to be recognized as means of
conveyance. If the teamster appeals, the
league of wheelmen will probably be only
too glad TO carry the matter up and Sc
cure the opinion Of a higher court.

THE GREATEST IS CHARITY,

How often we forget that q passing word
May be tipt with fire for another7s heart;
That the sheer Of Jest with which we part
HAY rankle and cut like a tYo-edged sword,
How often, too, do we judge amiss.
The motive that guides our neighbor's deeds,
How willingly let the cursed seeds
O. discord and anger destroy our bliss.
Oh! Charity true, and broad and deep,
Come into our lives and make US know
That motives may be as pure as snow,
Though actions make men and angels weep.

JUDeR WALLACE, OF the United States
Circuit Court for the District of New
York, has just handed down decision
that Is of interest to brokers who are &C
cessories to speculation with the funds of
bank depositors. The case in question
was that of the receiver of the First Ma
tionai Bank, of Albany, n. Y, against a
firm of Wall street brokers, who helped
the cashier of the bank to get rid OF near
ly $4,000 of the depositors' money. A
jury rendered verdict against the firm for
the full amount OF the money paid to them
and Judge Wallace sustained the verdict
by denying the motion for new trial.
The decision is based upon the generally
accepted legal principle that no one has
a right to accspt money for an agents
debt which he knows belong to the agents
principal and not to the agent himself.
This decision simply serves notice upon
brokers not to monkey with the money Of
bank depositors, no matter how willing
rascally cashiers may be to risk it in
speculation.

TO the contrary do not check decline.
All stocks are so far not diminishing,
and whenever there is rush Of upland
tobacco in the interior markets the low
prices heralded tempt our free buyers to
give orders there instead of buying here.
This hurts the upland holder there and
the trade here also, hence with other p0-

To Keep Milk from Souring.

To housakeepers who are troubled
during hot weather by the frequent
souring of milk intended for the use of
children or iuvalids, the following will
be of value: The souring of milk is
caused by the change of the sugar OF
milk into Tactic acid, under the in
iuence of the caseine, or cheesy mat
ter, which the milk contains. Boiling
however, deprives caseine OF the power
of converting the sugar of milk into
Tactic acid. Now, if the milk be put
into bottles which, after being we'll
corAed, are placed in can with cold
water, and gradually raised to the
boiling point, and after being allowed
to cool, be taken out and placed in
cool place, the milk viii keep perfect
for more than half year. If the
milk be exposed to the air after boil
ing, the caseine gradually recovers its
power of converting sugar into Tactic
acid. In this case the boiling has to
be repeated every day or every second
day, and milk may thus be kept fresh
for two months or more.
