Jack.

Jack was ono of tho train of mules
with which the Earl OF Dunraven made
an excursion in the Yellowstone Park
few years ago. II is not often TINT n
mule gets so good character from his
mastcr as jack receives, but it was we'll
earned.
Jack would ascertain, by some means
bost known to himself, the exact width
of his pack, and would measure his
distance between the trees to an inch
running through apcrtures that looked
fnr too narrow for him, but never strik-
ing or &c tirg jan med. He had some
extraordinary method also of detcrmin-
ing the height of his pack, and could
toll precisely whether he could pass
under an overhanging bough without
stopping, and, if not, how much he
would have to st op.
If necessary, wi hout pausing for
MON mt i'll his trot, he would double
down until his belly almost touched tho
ground, and wr.gsle himself through
und fallen tree i'll the most ludi-
crors manner
1t is no easy task for n man, even
though he be accustomed IT, the noun
tains and the fore t.. to make his way
through the matted labyrinth of these
primcval woods; but through such
places, ii they were practicable ut all,
Jack would run, jump. climb, or crawl,
pick ng his way without pause.
His faculty of stopping under
branches, though very useful Mt times,
was inconvcni mt whom he wa, required
rs n riding animal He would forget
for moment that he had nota tall pack
upon his back, and in PASS ng under
some leaning tree, to avoid itch tho
r.der wonld merely stoop his head, not
expecting for moment that the mulo
would stoop also, down he would 90,
and wit n twist and wriggle of his body
writhe himself under the supposed
obstacle, much to his riders surprise
and discomfort.

TO the AImsnousc at N;n,ty.Two.

Clayton Bishop, aged ninety-two
years, was recently placed on board the
tain at Morristown, N. j., for cmber-
ton, n. j., where he went to become an
inmate of the almshouse. The scene at
the stat Oh suggested Will Cnrlcton's
famous poem, "Over the Hills" ETC., to
every spectator who was familiar with
those lines. Mr.. Bishop lived through
n long and honorable life, only to find
himself ut patriarclal age without
money or friends. lie has sons and
daughters living in Pennsylvania, some
of whom are well TO do, but none of
them, it Is said, cared to be bothered
with him.
Cutie II crowd collected about Mr..
Bishop rs he tottered to the platform.
With quivering lips he barred his head,
then bcnt his knee, and, looking iowa, d
the sky, prayed aloud for his children.
The burden of his prayer was that they
might never come to the end which con-
frontcd him. AS he uttered The words
his voice shook with suppressed sobs,
and he WIS so weak after the effort that
he had to be helped from his knees.
Many spectators were greatly affected by
the sight, and could hardly restrain
their emotion.
After he had shaken hands with an
old friend who came up to bid him
good-by, Mr.. Bishop said: ats pretty
hard to lie turned out of house and home
at my time of life, but | suppose l have
lived too long. Stili that is no fault of
mine. have helped many people in

The words were no sooner out OF his
mouth than up went both hind feet of
the animal to ceiling fifteen feet high.
while with his mouth wide open and
eyes splitting fro he butted against the
iron bars and fairly shook the wooden
enclosure rs if young earthquake had
broken loose. Then he seemed to re-
cover himself and realize that he had
been fooled, and he wheeled over to tho
back end of his pen and eyed the scicn-
lists as though he was decidedly pre- u
diced against them.
a fool rabbit was given dose and it
jumped about three feet, looked wild
and came hopping up to the sponges

willing went through tho same racket,
and would probably have gone on suck

life was extinct had not thebattcry been

White rats arc given to the snakes for
food, and it was no difficulty when the
spongcs were put into the cage where
some fifty OF them were popping about
TO induce them to step up aud off the
spongcs and hurry back to their corners.
but the greatest amusement was afforded
when two plates of tin foil were put in
the cage, and each charged with the two
insulated wires. The rats hurried and
skurricd across the shiny plates, stuck
down their delicate nostrils, jumped and
Hoped over each other, lay on their

The Persian Antelope.

The Persian antelope seems to be
duplicate of his distinguished American
relative in a general all round sense; he
is. if anything, even more nimble footed
than the spring heeled habitue of the
west, possesses the same characteristic
ierky Jump. and hoists the same con-
spicuous white signal of retreat. He Is a
decidedly simmer built quadruped, how
ever, than the American antelope: the
body is Of the same square build, but Is
sadly lacking in plumpness, and he seems
20 be an altogether laullier and less well
favored animal. For this constitutional
difference hc is probably indebted to the
barren and inhospitahle character of the
country over which hc roams, as COM
pared with the splendid feeding grounds
of the far west. The PersianS sometimes
hunt the antelope ON horseback, with
falcons and greyhounds; tb" falcons are
taught to fly in advance and attack the
fleeing antelope about the head. and SO
confuse them and rCtard their progress

Pure IN Heart.

Almost every one appreciates the duty
of governing the tongue, although lew
people dwell upon the necessity of con
trolling the thoughts. Right speaking Is
a recognized duty, but right thinking Is
too often classed among the impossIbllr
ties of life.
1T may be wicked to feel so, but ]
can't help my thoughts, apoloSetcally
says some detractor.
The excuse is a generally accepted one,
but 1t has not sufficient foundation III
fact. Isolated thoughts cannot always
be controlled. They flash into the mind
like obstinate sprites, and the more one
fixes the attention upon them IN dlsap-
proval the more impossible does 1t be-
come to expel them.
1t is. however, within the limits of hui
man effort to control the tendency OF the
thoughts. When a malicious or trlVo-
lous member of the tribe starts INTO
being they can be best conlbated, not by
out and out fighting, but by turning III,
stantly to another class of valuable and
interesting reflection.
The mind may be so thoroughly dlscl-
pIined that its thoughts shall be drilled
battaIions of soldiers. They will doubt
less be always raw troops, not marching
IN all cases sure to obey upon the mo,
ment, but they will steadily improve with
practice, conforming themselves more
and more to the true and the good.
Psychologists have a great deal to say
about the force of habit. Dispose the
brain toward a certain line of thought
and it viii keep it with increasing steadi-
ness, for purely physical reasons. 1t has
its automatic action, as the fingers have
theirs, when they so aCcustom them
selves to seeking the keys of the piano
that they find them without the aid o.
the eyes.
