Queer Stories of Horses.

A BSyville (Ga.) horse which lost all
his teeth has been fitted with set of
false ones.
A horse in Norwich, Conn, swallowed
large ball of Irvine the other day, and
had to be held while two men pulled the
cord out of his mouth, unraveling it inch
by inch.
A drover in West Plains, Neb., has
trained one of his horses to 90 out and
drive the cattle home. At about five
o'clock every evening the animal starts
out unbidden and duly appears in the
course of an hour at the heels of the
herd.
COWBOYS in Franklin County, Texas,
frightened q wild pony into dashing
blindly over a precipice into a river
thirty feet below. After the lapse of q
few moments the pony appeared, climbed
on to the opposite bank. and dashed
away, apparently uninjured by his big
dive.
A Maryland horse has developed a
wonderful appetite for oysters. A pail
of the succulent mOllusks was recently
left in his stall by mistake. He at once
deYoured them, and since then he mani
tests the greatest delight when any of
the bivalyes are put where he can get
them.
James 8IcCloud, of Lodi, owns horse
on his Dakota fam which has eight feet.
It is perfectly formed in all respects, ex-

The RenntifnI Tnrnnn

The home of the tarpon is in the Gulf
of Mexico and in the Western Atlantic.
He occasionally appears as far north rs
the Jersey coast, and is met with around
the West Indies, but is most frequently
caught in the bays and harbors of the
Florida coast. In his prime the tarpon
is a six-footer. He weighs from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds.
he is remarkable for his great beauty.
When first landed his scales shine as
though plated with silver. He has long
bony projection at the dorsal fin, which
is often seen scooting along the top Of
the water while the fish is out of sight
beneath. The tarpon is known in Georgia
ks the "Jew-fish," and in Texas as the
Savsnilla. In other places it is called
S'silver fish" and ''silver klng.n The
french speaking people of the gulf coast
it the grand ecaille," owing to the

In answer to many inquiries regarding the

follows: My health continues good; no re-
turn OF rheumatism since 1881 when cured by

Well Ordered PRAYER.

A as for the sad errors characterizins
multitudes Of our prayers to God! We ask
and receive not, because we ask amiss.
There is too much of making speeches before
Him-especially in our public and social
prayers. Are we not often moro solicitoui
N these prayers % please those who hear rs
/ pray, than to receive from the Divine Hand
] the things named in our prayers? Such
| prayers are but mere ceremonies and are so
regarded by the multitude; and they may be
pronounced useless and worse than useless,
inasmuch as they cannot be otherwise than
displeasing in the sight of God, while of him
who thus processes to pray, the solemn
language of st. James is sadly appropriate:
Let not that man think that he shall re-
ceive anything Of the Lord"
What then, shall we do? and how shall
we order our prayers so that they may be
accepted? Go 10 Him in infinite lowliness
and trustfulness. Let the mind and soul rise
into His blessed presence, and speak to Him
As he IS ever and always whispering to you,
and saying, ask Of Me- Make known
your requests Call upon Me;n "Come to
Me- 50 make your responses to these pre-
cious words, and say, Lord I do ask of
Thee-I do CALL do GOMEZ do tell Thee
