A Horses Deliberate Revenge.

81 will just tell you n story" said Mr..
Foster L. Backus, about the memory and
reasoning power possessed by q horse on
10y fathers farm. This horse was in the
habit of making journeys about the neigh
borhood in charge of q certain groom, who
was coarse, ignorant, low and cruel. The
horse had been brought up on our farm
and was very good tempered and gentle,
but the groom's roughness and fondness
for laying on the whip confused him SO
much that he was not prompt in obeying
orders sometimes. Then the groom beat
ind bullied him. The horse never showed
the slightest sign of resentment till one
day the groom approached him in the
pasture field. Thu horse was free for the
first time in the presence of his enemy
and he charged the groom. A short halter
was around his neck, and the groom
seized this and hung on. The horse tried
to strike hin with his forefeet; tried to
bite and kick him. The man lodged and
shouted for aid.
THE fight was desperate and very ex-
citing. The horse fairly roared with
rage. The groom was nearly tagged out,
and in another five minutes would nave
been knocked down and trampled to
death, when my father came on the
scene. He seized the halter and told the
groom to run. As soon as he was gone
the horse subsidized and was as doci1e as
ever. Now, l am satisfied that the horse
deliberately planned to kill that groom at
the first favorable opportunity. See how
carefully he chose the time and place of
the assault. A lonely pasture field where
he had his enemy all to himself. He had
never shown the faintest sign of vicious
ness before. The groom kept away from
lii after that, and the horse never after
ward was known to exhibit rage. If he
had killed the groom it would have been
murder in the first degree, for the element
of elaboration was there. Yes, sir; horses
have reason, and they have memory also"

A Citadel of stupidity.

1t is a notorious fact that our kitchens
are the strongholds of ignorance, preju-
lice, irrational habits and mental vacuity,
with the result that Americans suffer be-
yond any other people from wasteful,
unpalatable, unhealthful and monotonous
cookery. Acqutescence in this state of
things as something permanent and ir-
remediable is no longer possible. The
time has arrived when the advance of in
telligence and the spirit of improvement
must invade that citadel of stupidity, the
kitchen, and Danish from it all degrading
associations by the presence of trained
women who ave made the work there
carried. on a matter of serious study.
Cooking should be done as Northcote
mixed his %colors, with brains, sirl" The
difference between cooking that is good
and cooking that is bad is very much an
affair of attention to trifes. And this
power of attention TO trifles is the out
ward and visible sign of the inward and
well ordered brain. Slight mistakes,
small omissions, little things done at the
wrong time spoil dishes, and therefore
much healthful enjoyment. The charm
of good housekeeping is the order of econ
omy n taste displayed in regard to de-
tails. The little things are the great
things after all, when their influence is
taken into consideration.-New York
Medical Journal.

A curious instance, which we think has
never before been published, of the ad-
miration which an ardent and imaginative
reader may feel for his favorite author, is
illustrated in the case of a young man
residing in Florida, who had long been an
enthusiastic admirer of Kathleen Ma
vourneen." On learning that the author
was alive and in poverty he visited Balti-
more, and found in the appearance and
conversation of the old professor all that
his fancy had pictured. AS he was pos
sessed of some means, and had no ties or
living Notwithstanding lost father and
brothers in the rebellion-ho remained
some time in Baltimore, and finally pre-
vailed upon Professor Crouch to adopt
him as his son. By an act of the legisla-
ture of Maryland his name was changed
to that of Crouch, and the pecuniary as
s~istance which he has since rendered has
done much to brighten the declining years
of the old composer. The action of this
young man forms the. latest incident in
the strangely romantic history of the au-
thor of Kathleen Mavourneen CHARLES

skin of Irish Boat Women.

The women of these coasts and islands
are as skillful as the men in handling the
oar n rudder. They know every sunken
rock and dangerous current of the intri-
cate channels between the great island of
Aran and the mainland, and take the boats
in and out in all weathers. For many
years a Grace Darling of this western
coast, the daughter of a pilot who lived on
Fights Island, went out in storm and
darkness with her old father, never trust
ing him alone, as she knew his weakness
for the whisky. This brave girl never
finched from facing the widest gales,
fearing that disaster might befall her
father, and the vessels it was his bust
ness to guide to a safe anchorage, if she
were not at the helm. Many a ships
crew beating about between Aran and
Owey owed it's preservation to Nellie
Boyle. Two sisters have taken the post
boat into Aran for many years past, their
father, John Nancy, being now old and
infrm.-Woman's World.

In regard to the medical education of
American physicians compared with those
of Europe, | ave been struck forcibly by
the fact that our students seem to be
more practical and better able to grasp
and develop ideas than those of European
countries. Especially in the operative
courses, in Vienna, l have noticed that
the American students performed their
work more neatly and thoroughly and
with greater dispatch than the compare
lively slow going Continental members of
the class, and that while those from this
country had possibly had but a three
years course of study before graduation,
yet they were ma.r than the equals of
the German stuGt..l5 of six years stand
ing, think Thu difference is due to the
more practical and thorough methods of
teaching in vogue in this country, and 1
believe 1t to be but a question of time
when, instead of us going to Europe, the
continental physicians will be anxious to
avail themselves of the facilities offered
in the United States.
The present superiority of foreign over
American medical institutions lies in the
fact that all their expenses are sustained
by the government, but if there was a
tendency on the part of the wealthy to
endow our schools, whatever doubt there
may be as to comparative merit would
soon be set at rest. Regarding surgery,
one of Won Bergmann's assistants, a man
known throughout the world by his con-
nection with the case of the crown prince,
has told me, in the course of converse
ton, hat he considered the American sur
geon ahead of the world in ingenuity,
practical ability and in operative tech
nique.-Dr. A. V. l.. Brokaw in Globe

An Aneedote of Webster.

A'reminiscence of Daniel Webster, never
told before in print, was related here the
other day by a contemporary of the
Massachusetts senator 1t illustrates
more forcibly than any hitherto recorded
the extraordinary influence of his oratory.
Webster had given a friend his note for
SIS, 600. A misery old Wbig-the richest
man in ACKNOWLEDGMENT the paper at
. sharp shave. He admired Webster and
trusted him. The note matured. The
senator could not pay. The miser dunned
Webster persistently, but without effect.
Mr.. Webster made a positive appointment
to meet him one morning, but was not to
be found either at his home or in the
senate.
The note holder was walking away
from the Capitol in despair when he saw
Webster approaching with head high in
air, eyes sunken with far away look, lips
parted and teeth showing in broad smile.
The old Wing lost courage and passed
without recognition. Next morning, in
perusing the newspaper, he read Web
ster's reply to Hayne. At once he took
the orators note and tore it to pieces, SO
prodigious was the effect of the splendid

The hotel thief is always a clever rascal.
From external appearances no one would
think of suspecting the well dressed, gen
tlemanly looking individual who registers
with a quiet and u~nassuming air and
whose tone bespeaks both travel and edu-
cation. He never dresses in gaudy colors
and his apparel is usually chosen with the
utmost good taste, stamping him as a
gentleman of refined tastes. His tools,
of the finest quality Of tempered steel,
consist of a bar key" a set of bits of
various sizes and arranged for either
stem or tumbler locks, a small drill, a file,
a sectional stem" pieces of wire, and q
pair of nippers. The implements do not
occupy much room in the sachel of the
nOmadic thief and are frequently carried
about his person. Hotel thieves travel in
pairs. They manage to secure their rooms
on the same floor and, if possible, close
to each other. The habits of the guests
on that floor are carefully studied, and it
is soon ascertained which of the rooms
are unoccupied. If there is only a single
lock to contend with the work is soon
done-the bar key, " with its appropriate
bit, opens the door readily from the out
side, and no further arrangements are
necessary. When there is a bolt on the
inside a hole is bored through tho door
Immediately over the handle or knob, for

and then carefully puttied up until the
time for operation arrives.
Five minutes is frequently all the time
an expert occupies in working" a single
room. If the guest has left the key in
the lock the nippers are used and the key
is turned SO quickly and noiSelessly that
no one would be aware of what Is going
on. If, however, there is an inner or
double lock and a bolt on the door the
putty from thu drilled hole is quickly re-
moved, the nippers are inserted, and in
case the inside key has been prepared by
filing n sharp awl is used. and, fitting
into the slot in the end of the key, turns

A Portable Electric Lamp.

While visiting a friend the other even
ing he invited me to take a look over his
house. To my surprise he picked up an
electric lamp that was standing on the
table and started off up stairs with it in
his hand, the flexible insulating wire
connecting with the lamp trailing along
behind. On investigation l discovered
that he had the wire wound around a
reel and that it was smoothly paying out
rs he went along. He also had little
pulleys fastened to the doorways over
which he passed the wire as he turned
the corners. The lamp itself was mounted
IN a standard like the standard of an oil
lamp, and the gentleman informed me
that he was in the habit of taking it into
all parts of the house. The device was a
novel one, and it suggests new possibil-
tiles for the electric light. Verify, the
lightning is becoming very tame under

There have been some curious changes
of late years in the fashions for staple
commodities, and especially is this true in
the matter of watches. The watch is
either looked upon as a trinket or as an
article of serious use. In the first instance
it is set in q round ball, incrusted with
small diamonds, sometimes intermixed
with rubies or with sapphires, or it forms
the top of n smelling bottle, or is set in
n bracelet or the handle of a parasol. But
the serious watch of every day wear has
become a very practical article indeed.
In old days" said to me a famous Swiss
jeweler of the Rue de la Paix the other
day, the business of replacing watch
crystals was an important item. amount
ing, on an average, to $50 per week. Now,
instead of the delicate, soap bubble glass
formerly used, the watch crystal is made
thick and strong, so as to stand any
amount of rough usage short of an actual
blow. The introduction of these massive
crystals has brought about Il change in
the make of watches. Not half so many
hunting cased watches are sold as for
merly, as they are so much less convenient
han the open faced ones, and the thick
crystal does away with the only real OBJ

The first d~epredations are made when as
little children they rush throughth h streets
and descend like a plague on a fruit ven
ders cart or n grocer's corner. and are gone
before the proprietor has time to protect
himself or catch them. They are then
school children with at least half a chance
OF becoming respectable w~orkingmen.
Those who are so inclined easily take the
next step. which is that of stealing for
men and youths who plan what they shall
do and reward them meagerly. Their
small hands, while they are children,
make them very useful to adult thieves
in opening tho bolts behind barred area
gates. Their tiny bodies enable them to
crawl through fanlights. Thus they be-
come full aedged criminals, drifting about
the city by day and by night in an army
that must number thousands. - New

There are many men of the age of 30 to 60 who
are troubled with too frequent excavations of
the bladder often accompanied by a slight
smartlng or burning sensation and a weaken
ing of the system in a manner the patient can
not account for. On examining the urinary de-
posits a ropy sediment will often be found, and
sometimes small particles of albumen will ap-
pear, or the color will be of akin or milkish
hue, again hanging to a dark and turbid APP
pearance. There are many men who die of
this difficulty ignorant of the cause, which is
