being introduced in the school board OF
Richmond, Va. Ever since the close CT

Tale Of n Wnr.Horse.

An officer Of experience, writing on the
behavior of horses in battle, says
When it comes to battle horse seems
to know everything that is going on:
bur he does his duty nobly, and seems
to be in his element. He enters into the
spirit OF the battle like human being.
He shows no fear of death, and it is
singular that if his mate is shot down he
will turn to look at him and seem pleas,
ed. a horse in my battery was once
struck by piece of shell which split
his skull, so that one side was loose.
The driver turned him loose, but he
walked up by the side of the gun and
watched the firing, and when shot
was fired would look away in the direc.
ton of the enemy, as if to see the effect
of the shot. When shell would burst
near BY he would calmly turn and look
at it. When he saw his own team going
back for ammunition he ran back to his
own place aud galloped back to the eais-
son with the rest. When the lieutenant
pushed him aside 10 put in another
horse, he looked at the other one SER
rowfully while he was being harnessed
up, and when he seemed to realize that
there was no futher use for MIN be Jay

Madame Modieska scorns the ce

Madame Modjeska scorns the cor.
set, and wears tight-ftting buckskin
bodice instead. Mary Anderson thinks
she corset an instrument of torture,
and wears a strip of stout linen in
stead. Mrs. Potter never wore cor
sets, nor did her mother before her.
She wears "union suit" of heavy
white silk underwear, a broad bandage
round the torso knitted of heavy red
wool, flannel skirt and her dress.
Mrs. Lapgtry says that the idea OF
going without a corset, or Of substi-
tuting something else for it, is all nom
sense. "There is nothing" she adds,

Local Popular Sentiment.

Local popular sentiment may be right:
1t is so in some instances. But local
popular sentiment is more likely to be
wrong than to be right, especially on
questions OF morals ard manliness. If
local popular sentiment be known to be
right or any given point, it is safe to be
in accord with loc;,l popular sentiment
so far: but the poorest reason in the
world for deciding for or against de-
batablc question of morals or oi nlanli-
ness is the fact tnat locc, popular senti-
mcnt is in that direction. If q man finds
that he is pretty generally in accord
with local popular sentiment, he may
take it for granted that he is wrong at
