Educated Horses.

Doubtless most of you think when you
see the performances OF trained horses in
the circuses of today that great ad-
vance 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 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 several feet from the
ground, and upon this the horse walked,
preserving its balance perfectly. In an
old print picture of the act is shown,
while another cut represents a horse
striking the shield of 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 believe the old writers, it
traversed ropes swung above the heads
Of the audience, and not only preserved
its balance, but bore a man upon its
back.-Philadelph Times.

IL mas also transpired that Professor
Friend played the sugar refining game
on the Chicagoans in 1880. He Kept his
secret till $4,000 had been paid in for
shares, and then put off inquirers by
showing them beautiful samples of re-
fined sugar made from glucose. AT last
the shareholders became impatient and
suspicious. They kicked in the door of
the refinery" and found nothing there
but machine practically worthless.
For this episode the professor took up
his abode in jail for the term of one
year The president and treasurer Of
the Electric Refining company say, how
ever, that the professor was an injured
man, and only remained in Jail one night
Meanwhile the crash has come, and
large number Of duped shareh holders
have lost in the aggregate perhaps
million. Capital is timid," but there
are q! ways people wbQ have it who will
go into any scheme blindly if it is put
before them attractively. That the stock
of this bogus affair should have sold at
several hundred per cent premium: that
''the street" should have been gulled, is
certainly a matter of surprise.

Fads of the Seashore.

One Of the queer fads of the seashore is
sidewalk luncheon. All along the walks
are booths where Vienna sausages are
cooked and handed to you on clam shell
"a sausage on one shell and baked po-
tato on the other. You are supposed to
sit on the sand and eat them without salt
and lick your chops for more. Sillyf
Well. this is the place for silly things.
Another fad is grabbing. A party num-
bering from six to dozen 60 out in the
marsh channels and bait for crabs with q
piece of beef tied to line. The crab is
just idiot enough to hang on until lifted
Into the boat.
And yet another is the moonlight fad
promenading the beach to listen to the
signing of the clans. Yes, clans sigh.
That's one Of their duties on moonlight
night. Some folks can't hear it, but a
pair of lovers, with his arm around her
waist and walking at q slow gait, can
catch every sigh that clam sighs.-Cor.

SuperstitiOus About His Will.

There is a man in town who has rheu-
matte gout. He has also great riches and
collection Of art and curios that have
been the joy and solace of life much
broken up by the twinges of his great
toe This collection he values beyond his
money, and is in great fear of it falling
into the hands of relative who is his
nearest. heir This he Is determined at
all hazards shall not occur, at the same
time, he will not make a will, although
his attacks of gout are frequent and dan
gerous
AS many men he is superstitious about
making a will He feels that if it was
once done there would be nothing left but
to wait for the undertaken The result
Is that when he is free from pain he feels
the collection to be safe, but when an at
tack comes on it is intensified by the
mans ludicrous fear lest he will die be-
fore he has put it out of his brothers
reach.
His doctor and friends have argued
with him, but to no purpose Every time
he is violently seized the servants run for
the doctor and lawyer at the same time.
Tables are drawn up. and pen. ink and
paper are in readiness as promptly as the
medicines. Again and again wills have

The other day he had violent seizure.
There was the usual hurry and scurry.
He was really felt to be dying, and as the
end was supposed to be near he was held
up in bed quill in hand, and the family
held their breaths in suspense at the
spectacle His breath was growing fainter

alarm of the family finally gave way to
an unruly curiosity as to which would

The Planet Mars.

Astronomers claim that they know
Mars has aqueous vapor in its atmos-
phere, but they do not know which part
of its surface forms this by evaporation.
Their theories follow their observations
rapidly, and very few theories come to be
substantiated. From the days when DR..
Dick wrote, and suggested plans of OPEN
ing communications with the supposed
inhabitants of the moon. to the present,
the widest ideas have constantly at
tended the steady, practical investigation
Of astronomers. Yet the astronomer plods
on with the instrument maker, and each
century adds its results to those of what
has been attained before, and though
many wild theories attend each discovery
the discovery itself remains while most
OF the theories die.
However, there is some reason for in
ferring that Mars is composed of land
and water. The water seems to be al
Ways connected. Even the so called
canals comet with the seas, being of the
same color, and no canal ends in the center

To Shampoo Ones Own Hair.

Half the pleasure of having the hair
washed and groomed is to have some one
do it who knows how. In England, in
the large stores, there is department Of
hair dressing where an accomplished bar
Der, with every convenience for shower
ing and drying, will wash the hair Of
ladies for one shilling. In this country a
good shampoo cost from fifty cents to 81
which is a large sum for so simple an
operation.
After combing the snarls from the hair,
braid it loosely and bind the end'with .
small elastic band. Draw tepid water in
q basin and first wash the scalp thor.
oughly with CASTLE soap; then let the
braid fall in the water, soap it and wash
as if clothes. Afterward thoroughly rinse
and wiring the braid in a towel. Wipe
the head dry, undo the braid and brush
out, beginning at the lower end, when it
will not tangle. Let the hair loose in the
sun and air and 1t, will dry in less than
half an hour. A woman's hair should be
washed at least monthly if kept fine and
healthy.-New York Evening Sun.

That Most Serious Problem.

100 many young mothers, in their
effort to make their first child perfect,
go to great extremes in noticing every
fault and laying too great stress upon gov
ernment This is done before every one,
even the passing caller. l think it has
the tendency to harden a child, and the
eXpostulation loses its effect. 1t is pro-
verbal that children always act their
worst when there is company in the
house. | had one child who seemed to
take advantage every time any one
called. | grew perfectly discouraged,
and felt as if there was no remedy for it.
He would slide down the banisters, go
whOoping through the house, slam doors
and do the most unexpected things, till
was mortified beyond expression.
finally made it a point to take him
by the hand, and ask my caller to ex-
cuse us moment-take him to another
part of the house, set him in chair and
say that would send for him when he
was wanted. He would remain there
quietly waiting. When the caller was
gone | would go and release him. 1t
seemed the only way to do. The more
he was punished and admonished before
people the worse he became. So l tried
hiding his faults and praising him for
the good he did. 1t had much better
effect, and is still as effective. To some
children's natures it is even humiliating
to be reproved before other children. /
do not think humiliation the proper way
to reform.
Self respect is much better trait to
develop. Let your child begin to feel
early that you expect only the best
things of it, and you will start it in a
much better way. Do not allow it to
argue with you from the beg ning, and
never laugh at cute things it may do or
say, and repeat them to your friends in
the presence of the child. If it is wide
awake child it will do and say many
things that will be intensely amusing,
and, if you wish, keep book and put
them down for future enjoyment-bu
never let the child know it.-Philadel-

brethren for whom Christ had died"
In the United States and adjacent
islands there were peculiarities of race
which long hindered the natural ten
dency of the church. In Louisiana and
the Indies the white colonists were
Catholic, and so the slaves were bred in
that faith, and after the revolution in
San Domingo about 1900 educated and
well to do colored men removed to New
Orleans. They spoke the French Ian
guage, were Catholics, and educated
their children in France, the northern
states or in private schools at home.
Thus there has existed for many years in
New OrleaHs a colored society unlike
any in any other part of the country.
Victor Seiour, once the private secretary
Of Louis Napoleon, and a famous dra-
matte writer of Paris, was native quad
room of New Orleans.
At the close of the civil war the best
and probably the largest colored school
in the United States was that directed
by the, Catholic Society for the Instruc-
ton of INDECENT Orphans" at New Or
leans, and it's history is an encourage
ment for all the race. In 1887 there died
in New Orleans a black woman, a native
Of Guinea, known as Widow Bernard
Convent, who had acquired her freedom
and small competency. By her will
she gave lot and the buildings on it for
school for colored orphans. Ten influ-
entail freemen of color associated them
selves to give effect to the bequest, were
incorporated under the laws Of the state,
and on the Goth Of April, 1847, the insti-
tuition was founded. 1t received some
slight help from the state and city, but
was chiefly maintained by contributions,
and in 1866 contained 260 pupils. The
recent growth Of free schools and col
leges for the colored has made it rela-
lively less important.
In New Orleans, and probably there
only, are the colored Catholics able to do
what they wish in church extension.
Everywhere else they are confronted,
not by the "color line" as in other
churches, but by the far more prosaic
problem Of poverty. The great mass of
the white Catholics in America have not
yet been in the country long enough to
have created many large fortunes, and
the colored Catholics are much poorer
still. Nevertheless, they have achieved
some striking successes. The Church of
st. Augustine, in Washington, is a mag
nifcent edifice, built entirely by the col
cred Catholics, and the music, especially
the vocal choir, is noted even in that |
city Of excellent choirs. The plenary
council of Catholic prelates of the United |
States, held in Baltimore in 1884, made |
considerable provision for churches,
school houses and priests for the colored |
people. The recent convention was in |
furtherance of that object. After busy

Gauss Invention of the TELEGRAPH,

81 don't remember" writes Gauss to
Olbers on the Goth Of November of the
year 1888, my having made any pre-
vious mention to you of an astonishing
piece of mechanism that we have de-
vised. 1t consists of a galvanic circuit
conducted through wires stretched
through the air over the houses up to the
steeple of st. John and down again, and
connecting the observatory with the
physical laboratory, which is under the
direction of Weber. The entire length
of wire may be computed at about 5000
feet. Both ends of the wire are connected
with multiplication, the one at my end
ratory of 80 coils of wire, each wound
according to method which l have de-
vised. By simple contrivance-which
have named commutator-I can re-
verse the current instantaneously. Care

cause SO violent a motion of the needle in
the laboratory to take place that it

BILE in the adjoining room. This serves
merely as an amusement. Our aim is to
display the movements with the utmost
accuracy. We have already made use
of this apparatus for telegraphic expert
ments, which have resulted successfully
in the transmission of entire words and
small phrases. This method of telegraph
ing has the advantage of being quite in
dependent of either daytime or weather;
the one who gives the signal and the one
who receives it remain in their rooms,
with, if they desire it, the shutters
drawn, The employment of sufficiently
stout wires, feel convinced, would en-

GEORGIA'S NEW CAPITOL.


thing native to the temperate and sub
tropical regions-from the hard white
corn of the upper valleys apd wheat of
the plateaus to the cotton of the low
lands and figs of the coast. Add an
equal variety of timber, from oak and
hickory to the yellow pine, with a re-
markable variety of minerals in the
mountainous regions, and it will be seen
that the state is commercially and in
dustrially indeed an empire in itself.
Atlanta, the capital and principal city,
lies at the gateway of the lowlands on
the plateau of the last line of hills as one
goes from Cherokee Georgia" (the
mountain region) to the gently sloping
plains of the east and the wire grass re-
gion of the south. The enterprise of the
people has improved the natural advan-
tages till Georgia ranks among the first
OF American commonwealth. Such a
state can afford beautiful capitol, and
such one they have. The legislature
has just appropriated S75, 900 for furnish
ing the same, and it is expected that the
new state house will be ready for occu-
pancy by the lst of May. Some idea of
the destined elegance of the new state
house may be gained by study of the
estimates made by the legislative COM
mittee.
There are twenty-six items, ranging
from 5000 to S12 900, including: Carpets,
rugs and mats, $4,000; gas fixtures,
$4,000; 1,160 chairs and gallery seats,
$1,000; 219 desks in house and senate
chambers. S5,425; thirty seven document
file cases, $4,000; shelving in libraries,
$1,000; roller shelves, book cases,
drawers, ETC., 81 500. and the remainder
for stands, tables, settees, ratings. spit
toons, hat racks, lounges, wash and um-
brella stands and all the minor adjuncts.
1t raises smile to read in the newspa-
pers of Atlanta that the report of the
committee Twas received in the legisla-
ture with pleasure and surprise, as the
members were under the impression that
it would cost from 100000 to S150,000
to furnish the capitol in appropriate
style" Public furnishings which cost
less than was anticipated are indeed
surprise in these days, but Georgia will
have an elegant capitol.
