Corn. Tanner Wins u Bet.

In the Office Of one of the prominent
hotels one evening was overheard quito
an amusing story OF Corp. Tanner AMI
his two artificial legs, 1t seems that the
corporal is very fond Of flno horses and
undertook TO raise few last year. lie
had one particularly fine horse, thor
oughbrcd, and he would let no one uso
him but himself. One day while tho
stableman was exercising him he acci-
dentally stepped into a mud hole and
sprained a leg 80 badly that tho doctor
advised having tho horses hoof bathed
in hot water three times day.
One day, when the gallant corporal
was giving the horse the customary bath,
a friend Of his came along and told him
IL was cruelty TO animals TO batho tho
horses foot In such warm water, and
asked him how would ho like 1t IL ho had
to put his foot In it. To which the COR
poral replied that he would not mind it
at all His friend, thinking he saw q
chance TO win some money, bet him a
hundred dollars that he would not keep
his foot in the water for five minutes.
Tho bet was no sooner said than it was
accepted by the corporal, who not only
put his foot in it, but put his whole leg
in and kept it there for five minutes.
The friend paid the bet, but probably
has not to this day found out how it was
possible for the supposed victim TO keep
his foot in boiling water for five minutes.

A story that goes back to the meetin'
house in Wrentham is one Of worthy
man named Habbakuk p, a resident OF
the town and faithful attendant upon
worship, who had been blessed with four
wives, one after another Habbakuk
was rigidly orthodox, rs his name seemed
to demand, and was always in his pew
on the Sabbath. He sat there in his con-
spicuous pew with No. 4 by his side on
the first Sunday after their marriage. 1t
was a balmy Juno day, and the zephyrs
from the open window toyed playfully
with the brides white satin bonnet rib
bons and the groom's silken locks. There
was a stranger in the pulpit who had
exchanged for the day with the venerable
Mr.. F., the pastor Of the church. After
reading few Scripture passages the
stranger proceeded to read a notice which
ihe had found in the Bible, and which
kYas as follows:
"Mr. Habbakuk P desires the pray
Iers of the congregation that the death of
This wife may be sanctitied to him for his
Ispiiitual good"
4 Then, when the congregation was be-
Vtween stupefaction and explosion, the
fclergyman went on with the services at
a rapid rate. He was at loss TO know
why the congregation seemed to be

In one respect, at least, King Humbert
of Italy surpasses in domestic magnili-
cence all the other sovereigns OF Europe.
According to Paris letter hc breakfasts,
lunches and dimes off golden plate. Vic
toria has a spread Of gold plate for the
tables Of Buckingham palace, but it is
brought forth only on state occasions.
There is golden service in many Of the
royal households of tho continent, but IL
is either employed only at state dinners,
as in England, or used only at the prin'
cipal family meal OF the day. Humbert
alone places a golden spoon in his mouth
on rising, and removes it only on retir-
ing, and yet there are probably many
people in Italy who are as happy as their
king.-New York Star.

SIR CHARLES RUSSELL.

He IL the Central Figure In England Now.
his Great Speech for Mr.. rsrncll.
Sir Charles Russell Is now the central
figure in Great Britain, and II he does
not live In immortal fame It will only be
because there is no Macaulay to ccle-
brate his speech in the Parnell case as
that genius did the speech OF Burke in
the impeachment Of Warren Hastings.
All the critics cay there are but two ad-
dresses in British eloquence that will
compare with it--that of Rurke above
mentioned and that Of Brougham In de-
fence Of Queen Caroline. And Russell,
like Burke, is native Of Ireland--land
Of poetry, wit and eloquence.
II is not easy for Americans, without
special study, to comprehend all tho
points at issue, as there are really three
contests in progress--that Of the Balfour
government in Ireland against the ten
ants and the National league, that in
the house of commons between the To-
rics, now in power, and tho Gladstone
"Iome Rulers" and that in the courts
between The London Times and Mr.. Par
nell and his associates. The last two run
into each other in curiously compli-
Gated way, as many Of the parties fight
over In the house the samo points con-
tended over in the court, and tho ''gov.
ernment" has made itself one in interest
with Tho Times; at the same time a
heated practical contest is in progress
over the "by elections" and on the very
night after Sir Charles Russell made his
wonderful speech in court he addressed
an immense Radical meeting at Birming-
ham. The nearest approach In the United
States to this peculiar mixture of issues
was early in 1868, when the impeach-
mcnt trialof Andrew johnson and the
heated discussion of reconstruction were
going on at the Same time, and the coun'
try entering on fiery presidential cam
paign. Calmncss and judicial temper
cannot bo expected at such time.
Sir Charles Russell is man Of striking
appearance, with very marked resem
blance to George Washington. Ameri
cans familiar with him say that If the
Gilbert Stuart portrait of Washington
were made trifle moro sallow, and the
eyes Get little deeper, it would be al
admirable portrait of Sir Charles in re
pose. His voice, too, is more American
than English; there is just enough Of
Irish in the accent to give it piquancy

ticulation distinct and his voice flexible.
Ono serious disadvantage he suffered:
his sympathy with Parnell and the Irish
agiiators was so intense that his feelings
occasionally overcamc him, in the per-
Grafton tears ran down his cheeks and he
had to pause several times TO repress a
sob.
Justice Hannen, who was presiding,

pronounced it the greatest speech they

able that the Gladstonians will soon be

Are Animals Supersiitious?

DO animals see ghosts? Ofcourse there
are no ghosts. but that makes no differ
ence. Science and philosophy agree that
Il is not at all improbable shat nothing
really exists and that nothing is, except
perturbations of brain cells. Anything
that we may think we SEQ may not, after
all, have any eyistence-at amy rate, it
does not exist as we see it, Do animals
know about ghosts and do they think
they see them? In his latest book Sir
John Lubbock undertakes to tell how the
world appears to animals, but he doesn't
enter into the possibilities of supersttions
among dogs and horses, for instance.
Certainly, the world does not appear the
same to the ant that it does to man; and
not quite the same to the dog or the horse,
since the dog and the horse do not laugh.
II we take the conclusions of science re-
specting the development of the intclli-
gcnce, we ought to be able to believe that
the more intelligent of the lower animals
have superstitions that correspond in
some measure to those Of the least intel
ligcnt human beings.

inferences beyond the operation of in
stinct, is pretty well settled. When q
dog or horse has exhausted all its ex'
perience in attempting TO account fol
certain phenomena, does it conclude that
the thing is supernatural or out of the
order of explicable phenomena? Novel
lists tell us about the amazing fear OF
dogs and horses ordinarily fearless, when
placed under conditions that excite tho
fear of superstitious persons. Are there
facts to warrant this? If dogs and horse:
see ghosts they must be capable OF tho
simplest form Of religious emotion; tha,
is to say, the fear of the inexplicable
which in the savage is regarded by science
as the beginning Of religion. Dogs hay'
what in science passes for moral sense
They are conscious of wrong doing anC
practice self restraint. OF course it al
grows out of the experience that the do
ing of certain things is attended will

but this, science tells us, is the basis o
| the moral sense. At all events, scienc'
