HORSES DELIGHT IN SOUND.-It has
been observed by those who had to do
with horses that these animals have their
proper pride in regard to the looks of
their harness and trappinga. The horse
is quick to show his pleasure or dis
pleasure, aud he does this at times with
marked emphasis. His sensitiveness il
not limited to the delight of the eve. but
he is equally moved by the sensation of
sound. Horses seem in many cases TO
De conscious of the tunaful melody or
the Jangling discord, as the case NAV be.
MACE 10y the bells which are put upon
them IN the winter when they are driven
to sleigh and sled.
MIR. Hissey, an Englishman who has
made trip through his own country,
and has written a book about it, found
bells IN use all the year around on the
narrow country roads of Derbyshire. A
driver of Que of those teams told him
that once, being in hurry. he neglected
to put on the bells. The consequence
was that the horses were so indignant
they refused to start. AS soon as the
bells were fixed on the horses started
and went conientedly on their way.
These simple tastes of the horse ap-
pear much like vanity. The animal
seems wholly insensible to the charms of
landscape, but its fancy is taken by the
gutter and fash of a bit of tinsel WON
by itself. 1t sakes no notice apparently
OF the sweetest notes of singing birds
heard i'll the thickets about its pasture,
but Is delighted with the ringing of bells
with which it makes music by IFS pranc-
ing step and by the tossing Of its neck.

BISMARCK AS A SwoRDsMAN.-The
chancellor, while a student at Goettingin.
by his skill and strength gained the re-
putation of being crack swordsman. It
ls said that he challenged two students
the very first day he came toGoettiugen,
and afterWaro defeated both, although
they had much experience. A very cum
ming trick III escaping an attempt made
by ''pedeil, a university officer, to
break up n fight, is credited to Bismarck.
When he was at Jena on visit. arrange
ments were made for him to fight duel
at Woellnitz, small village. The "ped
elP'-hahle by nams-was very much
disliked by the students, as he had often
interrupted their fights He had gotten
knowledge thereof, and on the morning
fixed for the fight had gone to Woell-
nltz and hid himself under a large barrel
used in brewery. He had placed the
barrel in such d position that he could
overlook the dueling place through the
Sunghole, intending TO see all the fight
and get the names of the principals.
kahle's presence was noticed, however,
by some peasants, and by Bismarck g
suggestion the barrel was Suddenly turn
ed around so that the hole stood against
the wall. Several students then seated
themselves upon the barrel and remained
there until all the fights had been finish
ed, when the unlucky "pedelP' was re-
leased from bis prison and heartily
laughed at. 1t is fact that Bismarck
shortly afterward was ordered to leave
the city by the university authorities

Lively Towns in the Great American
Desert.

There are so many of these III the
desert that it is almost "a pity to single
out few for mention; but out of the
many Of perhaps equal merit let us
glance at Hastings, Nebraska, a town
fifteen years old, with population of
$4,000 intelligent, enterprising, and
prosperous people, possessed of all the
conveniences of city life, such as gas
and electric light, water-works, street.
cars, and free mail delivery; its
| streets lined with blocks of handsome
brick structures: centre of heavy
financial and industrial interests; its
homes representing all that is modern
and progressive in architecture. How
surprised one would be, who has not
seen this country for five years, at the
towns numbered by the score in
Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska which
rival in every respect the most pros
porous towns in New York and New
England! Among the younger cities
| there is Mitchell, Dakota, less than
| seven years old four thousand inhabit-
ants), containing several churches, fine
schools, refined society, substantial
banks, large packing interests
enough, in word, to make life
pleasant socially and prosperous tinan-
| cially. Or look at McCook, Nebraska,
one of the newest and fartheSt west of
all desert towns-an infant of five
years, for there was nothing but a sod
house five years ago where the town of
5000 people is now; nearly five hun
dred miles west of the Missouri River
in the midst of a fertile farming country
possessing everything necessary in the
| line of churches. schools, and social
adv antages to make any one content
| with habitation in the desert, and
whose founders had confidence enough
in its future to supply it with a system
of water-workS equal in extent TO that
| of Lincoln.
These are merely types; there are
| dozens of such towns, not of the muSh-
room order of mining towns or centers
| of speculative activity. They are the
| legitimate product of rich agricul-
tural region, and are in no sense
ephemeral. They are here to stay; and
in looking at them, and considering
| what they represent, the conviction
| forces itself irresistibly on one that the
| best advice ever offered to young
| American was contained in the words
! which have been banded about in
| many a joke. but are as full of wisdom
to-day as when Horace Greeley uttered
them-.'Go West, young mango
West."-F. Il. Spearman, ia Ruper'S
Magazine.
AT the close of an amateur theatrical
| performance a gentleman was dis
covered il fainting condition. Great
beads of perspiration stood upon his
| brow and his face was ashy white,
Great heavens! what is the trouble?"
was the excited inquiry. Ladies' and
gentlemen gasped the unfortunate
man. family. I'm the author Of the
| play. ."-Netc YORK. Sua. -

She Gave Away Her Children

1t rs coming more and more to be
acknowledged that all animals have
the means of expressing their desires
to each other by sounds allied to an
articulate speech, says writer in
Massachusetts, P0UghnlaR. Those who
give this matter careful observation
and study will soon come to understand
the different tones and infections by
which animals understand each other;
and in sign language they are often ell
oquent. In line with this an incident
made public by j. n. Loughborough,
Of California, is interesting and related
as follows:
During the summer of 1870, while
residing at Heudsburg, he had among
his Spanish hens a mother with nine
chickens. This hen at length Sickened
and died with the comb disease Her
chicks were only about four weeks old
and could scratch but little for them
selves. The weak mother would go
around with them, putting down her
bin to Indicate where they were to
scratch. She soon became too weak
Cor this.
Soon after we noticed all of her
chicks standing around her in a sort of
half circle. with their eyes looking
piteously toward her, ''peeping"
mournfully, she in turn giving faint
'.chirps.n AT this all the other fowls
came around her, and each seemed to
have something to say.
After about fifteen minutes had been
spent in this manner, healthy young
dominique hen that was laying eggs
every day, and had shown no signs of
even desiring to set, stepped out from
among the rest and took her position
by the side Of the sick hen.
Upon this the mother hen gave a few
faint chirps, which all the chicks an
swered with 4 chirp. Then the mother
hen looked toward the dominique. and
gave two or three ''clucks," to which
the dominique responded for the first
time with "CluCk! cluckl' and the
chickens answered with Peep, peepr'
in concert, and all rushed up to the
dominique
The mother hen gave two or three
more farewell chirps, and the new
mother walked of with the brood
clucking and scratching as vigorously
for them as though she had herself
hatched the brood.
The dominique and brood never
went near the mother hen again. She
died the next day, and the dominique
protected and faithfully raised the
chicks committed to her trust
Whatever others may think of this,
1t seemed to the writer and those who
witnessed the transaction as genuine a
case of giving away children before
death as we witness among human
kind. These creatures must have had
communication with each other res
pecting the matter, at least, Judging
from their actions, and the old saying
that factions speak louder than words
was literally true in this case.

An Incident in the Siege of Atlanta.

OF course the editors and printers
were exempt from conscription. This
was great thing. and the newspaper
offices always had all the men they
needed, and some that were mere hang
crs on. Once there was a prospect of
serious trouble. The printers struck
for higher wages.
Several editors put their heads to-
gether and decided upon the cutest
plan Imaginable. They visited the
conscript office in a body, stated the
case, and requested him to conscript
the printers, as they were out of job
and no longer entitled to exemption.
The conscript officer had long head
and knew.his duty.
"Gentlemcn." he said, "you are I'M
doubtedly right. | will 90 to work at
once, and as YOU are here | will con-
script you to begin with"
''Conscript u.s." exclaimed the edi-
tors.
Certainly. As you have no print
crs You can't get out your papers. So
you no longer belong to the exempted
class
This was an unexpected result. The
editors asked time for consultation
with their printers. All differences
were armoniouSly arranged, and in
less than fifteen minutes the editors

WRECEERs OF THE BAHAMAs.-The
Bahamas are said to have been settled
as early as 1929, and their population is
estimated to be about 10000 souls.
But they are listless, indolent lot, to
whom simple existence is the highest as
piration. For the most part the lanpu
age is curious mixture of the Eugilsh,
Spanish and negro tongues. Sponge
gathering, fishing, conch gathering, fruit
picking and wreckinR constitute about
all the labor done. The islands swarm
with these wreckers, nearly all good nat
ured souls, who regard everything cast
upon the shores, every vessel that
grounds upou the dangerous wrecks and
Gays, and every craft that can even be
lured upon the rocks, as their rightful
gain, and receive all such ocean salvage
as if the blessing of Heaven accompanied
it; though for that matter our own gov
ernment permits quite as bad state of
things at Key West and along the Pine
islands off the coast of Florida. Edgar

He CAUGHT THEM.-It is said that dur
ing the last Presidential crisis in France
a newspaper correspondent at Rennes
wrote regularly to his newspaper.
Every time the political police" opened
his letters. After a while he tried the
plan of registering his letters. "Inclos-
ure of 100 francs" he wrote on the out
side of one In order to insure privacy for
1t, without, of course, putting the money
inside. The letter arrived safely; none
OF the seals were broken, but neatly in
closed lay postal order Tor 100 francs.
The clever officers who had intercepted
the letter thought that on opening it
they had lost the inclosure and substi-
tuted another, hoping thereby to escape
unpleasant Investigation.
