Educated 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 edu-
eating the animals over what was
done i'm ancient times. But you are
mistaken, for even the most wonder
ful exploits of the horses of the pres
ent day are repetitions 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 enemies
with their fore feet, and showing what
appeared to be remarkable intelligence
Perhaps the most surprising feat ever
performed by horse was in the olden
time. a large three-sided braided
rope was stretched s-e,f .+s44
the ground, and upon this the horse
walked, preserving it's balance per-
fectly. In an old print n picture OF
the act is shown, while another cut
represents horse striking the shield
OF "a soldier with his 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 believe the old writers. 1t trav-
ersed ropes swung above the heads OF
the audience, and not only preserved
it's balance. but bore man upon its
back .--Philadelphia Times.
