A COMFORTABLE HARNESS.

A horse appreciates comfortably
fitting harness as much as he does a
properly-fitted shoe. The latter,
when set too tight or with nail
driven into or near the sensitive It's
sues, produces positive lameness-
Under this condition of things he is
promptly taken to the shop for relief.
But he NAV suffer nearly or quite as
much from the chatting of badlyfit
ted collar, or a narrow belly-band
drawn too tight, or from a check
rein shortened up so as to form of IT
self one of the severest punishments.
Either of these conditions will pro-
duce restiveness in the dullest brute,
and in the case of an animal of nerv
Gus temperament and having a thin,
sensitive skin, he is liable to become
frantic, the obtuse owner or driver
seldom approaching the origin of the
difficulty.

the pursuit of agriculture can offer
inducements to the student who

the business man who would exert

his own observations would add to
the general knowledge of how best

BEING A BOY.

One of the best things in the world
is to be a boy; 1t requires no expert
ence, though it needs some practice
to be a good one The disadvantage
of the proposition is that it does not
last long enough; it is soon over;
just as you get used to being a boy
you have to be something else, with
a good deal of work to do, and not
half so much fun. And yet every boy
is anxious to be a man, and is very
uneasy with the restrictions put up
on him as boy.
1t is understood in the first place
that a boy is to do all errands, to go
to the store, to the post office, and to
carry all sorts of messages If he
had as many legs as centipede, they
would tire him before night. His
two short limbs seem to him entirely
inadequate to the task He would
like to have as many legs as wheel
has spokes, and rotate about in the
same way This he sometimes tries
to do, and people who have seen him
turning cartwheels" along the side
of the road have supposed that he
was amusing himself and idling away
his time; he was only trying to in
vent a mode of locomotion, so that
he could economic his legs and do
his errands with greater dispatch.
He practices standing on his head in
order to accustOm himself to any
position. Leap-frog is one of his
methods of getting over the ground
quickly He would willingly go any
distance if he could leap-frog it with
a few other boys. He has natural
genius for combining pleasure with
business. No other living thing can
go so slow as a boy sent on an err
rand. His legs seem to be lead unless
he happens to espy a woodchuck in
an adjoining lot, when he gives chase
to it like a deer; and it is a curious
fact about boys that two will be a
great deal slower about doing any
thing than one, and that the more
you have to help them, the less is ac-
complished. Boys have great pow
er of helping each other to do moth
ing; and they are SO innocent about
it and unconscious II went as
quickly as l could" says the boy.
His father asks why he didn't stay
all night, when he has been absent
three hours on a ten minutes GRAND.
The sarcasm has no effect on the boy.

CHrCAGO,s LATEST MYSTERY

Chicago has another first-class sensa-
uJn. DIR. r. II. Cronin, prominent
Irish physician, has supposedly been
murdered and his remains conveyed in
trunk to suburb and there somehow
disposed of. DR.. Cronin was, ssmc
years ago, well-known in st. Louis as q
super at public entertainments, and,
later, in Chicago, became prominent
among the class known as professional
Irishmen," though he attended to bust
ness and had good standing as a ply
sician. He was an extremist, and, as
the Irish party in Chicago as elsewhere
is, of course, divided into factions, he
had enemies among those of his own
race. The theory is that he was killed
by members of one of the groups,
though the only ground for this theory
is that he had been known to declare
lis life in danger
Taken altogether, the mystery, with
the discovery of the CORY trunk and the
bint at some secret organization des.
perate work, is one of q character SEN
satioDM enough to suit even the city
whence il is reported.

A LIVE MAMMOTH.

In another column of this issue of
THE CRITIC appears an interview from
the Philadelphia Press with Mr. Cola A.
Fowler, late of the Alaska Fur and
Commercial Company, which is most
interesting, il true. Mr.. Fowler declares
that he bought the tusks of a mammoth
which had been killed by Innuits of the
Snake River but three months before.
That there have been in the past i'm
mense numbers of mammoths in Alaska
is well known and it has been claimed
by some that these animals still exist on
the high plateaus Of the interior Up TO
The present time, though dead mann
moths have been found imbedded in the
glacial ice and extensive ivory trade has
been established, no one has claimed
that one of the monsters has been seen
alive. Mr. Fowler, It's barely possible,
may be facetious gentleman, or the re-
porter who interviewed him may have
the faculty of imagination largely de
veloped, but the subject is at least an
interesting one.

The Swiftest Fish.

] asked an old salt the other day
which was the swifter, flying fish or a
dolphin. why, dolphin, of course
l have seen it proved. One day our
ship was in the doldrums down near the
equator, and oil hands were lolIing
about deck grumbling and whistling for
breeze. ! had just gone aloft, and
standing upon the topgallant cross
trees, with my body resting upon the
royal yard, was looking off on the star
board beam. saw flying fish spring
up out of the water, followed by dol.
phin, and both made straight for the
ship. When they arrived at the vessel
the dolphin went under and the flying
fish went over, dropping square into
the dolphin's mouth as he struck the
water on the other side. The ship drew
eighteen feet Of water and only about
nine feet above water. So say, In this
case, the dolphin was the swifter fish. |"

Probably no one has noted the daily

larly those that took place among the
lower classes, as has Emile Zola, for

the tragic and miserable death by small

whose acting in Paris and London some
ten or twelve years ago set both those
