Horses.

Doubtless most of you think
when you see the performances Of
trained horses in the %circuses Of to.
day that a great advance has been
made in educating the animals over
what was done in ancient times.
But you are mistaken, for even the
most wonderful exploits of the
horses of the present day are re-
petitions of what was done with
them several hundred years ago. In
those days horses not only danced
upon their hind legs, but fought
mock battles, striking at their enc
mics with their fore feet, and show.
lug what appeared to be remarkable
intelligence. Perhaps the most sur
prising feat ever performed by a
horse was in the oIden time. a
large three sided braided rope was
stretched several feet from the
ground, and upon this the horse
walked, preserving his balance per.
fectly. In an old print q picture
of the act is shown, while another
cut represents a horse striking the
shield of a soldier with its hoofs.
Even the elephant, generally
considered the most ungainly Of
animals, was trained in those days
to walk the tight rope, not only
near the ground, but, if we may
belieye the old writer's, it ~traversed
ropes swung above the heads Of tI.e
audience, aud not only preserved its
balance, but bore q man upon its
back.-Philadelphia Times.

The Way to Wash Windows.

There is a right and q wrong way
to wash windows, and as this opera.
ton is usually dreaded, the fol-
lowing method will doubtless be
appreciated. as it saves both time
and labor. Choose a dull day, or at
least q time when the sun is not
shining on the window, for when
the sun shines on the window it
causes it to be dry streaked. no mat
ter how much it is rubbed. Take
a painters brush and dust them
inside and ont, washing oil the
wood work inside before touching
the glass. The latter must be washed
simply in warm water diluted with
ammonia-do not use soap. Use a
small cloth with a pointed stick to
get the dust out of the corners; wipe
dry With a soft piece Of cotton cloth
do not use linen, as it makes the
glass Unity when dry. Polish with
tissue paper or old newspaper. You
will find this can be done in half
the time taken where soap is used,
and the result will be brighter win.

The TRusrEEs' DolNGs.

The village trustees held their regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday evening.
All the members of the board were pres
ent. 1t was decided by ii nearly unani-
nous vote to dispense with the services
of night watchman and to hire Phelps
Coolihan to light the street lamps. DR..
NJ. d. Smith was chosen health officer.
This Office should have been filled at the
annual village meeting, but as it was not
certain exactly how the law stood it was
voted to instruct the trustees to fill the
Office as they saw fit. No other business,
except voting to pay a few bills, was
done.
1t is understood a petition is in circua-
ton requesting the trustees to reconsider
their action with reference to night
watchman. In the meantime Mr.. Dckin-
son continues on duty, by request of
some of the business men, it is said. =

That CIDER LAW.

What Hon. David Z. Nicholson of Rut-
land doesn't know about the liquor laws
of Vermont isn't worth taking into ac-
count The cider clause of the law is, it
seems, bothering some good folks who
have more vinegar timber on hand than
they know how to use, and perhaps there
are those among our readers thus afflicted
At any rate the following, from a recent
letter by Judge Nicholson to the New
York Tribune, is a vigorous piece of Eng
enment. He says:
1t is true that the law of the State pro-
hibits traffic in cider at places of pub
lie resort, and to habitual drunkards." +"
But with an active participation from the
first public discussion of a prohibitory
law, and in its enactment in both branch
es of the legislature, drafting much of it
with my own hand, and long period of
service as prosecuting attorney in town
and county, and as member of the court
for its enforcement in the intervening
time, it is new to me that the law in the
least restricts the legitimate sale, in the
ordinary course of business, by the pro-
ducer. manufacturer or owner, of the
product of cider, but it is limited to the
case of the salOon-guzzler, as a bloated,
staggering swill-tub. Any other attempt
to construe the law will be for the pur-
pose of bringing it into contempt, and
will find no favor in court or in county.
| have been intoxicated all my life
just exactly alike, with a total abstinence
from cider on account of its bad name,
for almost the entire period, but, with
thousands of better men, do not intend
TO see substituted chemicals for the appe-
tizing old Vermont cider-vinegar as a
condiment for my corned beef and cab
bage.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Alabama legislature, taking its
cue possibly from Vermont, is trying to
devise scheme "to encourage and induce
immigration"
We send out this week to subscribers
in the county supplement containing
interesting matter with reference to the
State experiment station at Burlington.
President Cleveland, it is announced,
will enter New York law firm at the
close of his term of office, thus following
the example of his predecessor, Mr..
Arthur.
A Paris newspaper says that two pro-
fessors of the Pasteur institute there
have succeeded in corallng the mcrobe
of diphtheria. The next thing expected
is a preventive of this disease in the
shape of vaccine virus.

umn by Prof. Yager-that President

or for this town-is good one. Having

been one of those who formed the law,
he naturally understands it better than
any one else.
The makeup of President Harrison's
cabinet is as much mystery as ever.
The only fact thus far elucidated that has
any bearing, so far as we are aware, is
that Mr.. Blaine has hired a house in
Washington. But, as he has taken it for
ten years, it doesn't appear that this fact
even makes it certain that he is to go in
to the cabinet.
Kansas City now wants manufactures
and has held mass meeting OF its busi-
ness men to see how to secure them. If
all the towns which feel the same way
were to give voice to their wishes at the
same time they would make the welkin
ring. The great problem seems to be to
find something which it will pay to make,
and which can be sold.
Massachusetts newspapers are BOOM
ing Hon. George b. Loring for the place
agriculture created by the recent act of
Congress. He is handsome man, but
practical sense and knowledge of agricul-
ture would seem to be better qualifica-
tions for the place than beauty, which is
about the only distinction Mr.. Loring
possesses.
so Lord, teach these members to re-
member and to know that there are no
free passes to heaven" Thus prayed the
chaplain of the Ohio House of Represen-
tatiyes on a recent morning, being moved
thereto by the abuse of the railroad pass
by members of that body. This is not
the first time the pass has agitated the
Solons of the Buckeye State. The best
speech ever made in opposition to their
use was delivered few years since by
Hon. Coates Kinney, member of this
same legislative body.
Novel legislation is the rule rather
than the exception this year in several OF

duced at home. The latest curious law
is that passed in Pennsylvania, provid

ROTTEN ROYALTY.

The death of Crown Prince Rudolph of
Austria is the talk of the civilized world
lust now. How it came about is not at
all clear yet, the various stories told diff
fering materially. 1t is, however, pref
ty certain that it was the result Of a
disgraceful affair, one of the sort for
which he was famous. But he was no
worse than dozens of other scions of the
so-called noble houses of Europe. The
whole fabric of royalty Is rotten to the
core, and the wonder is that the intelli-
gent people of the nations over whom
these degenerate princes rule will toler-
ate them for an hour. Doubtless it is
the same reason that causes the small
boy of America to split his throat and the
ears of his neighbors on Fourth of
July mornings. They have been brought
UP to it, and, without reasoning very
much about the matter, do not conceive
that change is within the limit of posi-
bilties.
No very great moral can be drawn
from Rudolph's death, and no particular
good can come from consideration of the
iniquity of the rest of the royal proflig-
ates; but that we have no such leeches
and blots upon the body polite ought to
be source of thankfulness to every cit
izen of our country.
