Mon Who Felt No Pain or Fosr In Bolns
Torn by Wild Beasts.
have known three friends who were
partially devoured by wild beasts undor
apparently hopeless circumstances OF
escape. The first was Livingstone. the
great African traveller, who was knocked
on his back by lion, which began to
MUNICH his arm. He assured me that he
felt no pain or fear. and that his only
feeling was one of intense curiosity az
to which part of his body the lion would
take next
The next was Rustem Pasha, now
Turkish Ambassador in London. A
bear attacked him, and tore of part
of his hand and part of his arm
and shoulder. He also assured me
that he had neither pain nor fear,
but that he felt excessively angry be-
cause the bear grunted with 50 much
satisfaction in munching HIM.
The third case is that of Sir Edward
Bradford, an Indian officer, now occu-
pying = high position in the IndiaY
service. He was seized in . solitary
place by a tiger, which held him firmly
behind the shoulders with one paw, and
then deliberately devoured the whole Of
his arm, beginning at the end and fin.
ishing at the shoulder. He was posi-.
tive that he had no sensation of fear and
thinks he felt little pain when the
fsngs went through his hand, but IL
certain that he felt none during the
muuching of his arm.-Letter Of Sir
LYon Playfair. s

Struck by a Falling Star.

One of the most remarkable accidents
recorded in history occurred near MARI
borough House. London, England, re-
Gently. A gentleman was passing from
St. James Park to Pail Mall when he
suddenly received violent blow on his
right shoulder, which caused him great
pain and to stumble forward as he
walked. He noted cracking noise al
the time, but had not the slightest idea
of the cause of the shock he had expert
enced. Reaching home he disrobed and
submitted to critical examination, but
nothing was discovered which in the
least accounted for the great pain in
both shoulder and arm. A servant sen.

SWEETBRIER LANE.

Dearest Of all are the sweet spring flowers
Tpat como with the sun and ram.
Twas stirred to depths of my soul to-day
BY che sight OF the primrose again.
It was held in the grasp of childish hand,
And its odors, subtle and sweet,
Were borne on the wings Of the gentle wind
Through the city's unlovely street;
And IN thought was treadtng the turf again
In Sweetbrier Lane.
And the sweet pure air, vigorous breath,
Swept down from the green hillside,
And rustled the myriad leaves Of the trees
That o. ershadow the footpath wide
The path that leads to the pasture gate,
Where the cattle stand sleek and strong
Where the blackbird whistles u low sweet hote
And the thrush pipes loud and long;
And my light heart echoed the glad refrain
In Sweetbrier Lane.
The sunbeams chased the shadows along,
Like merry elves at play;
And, decked with flowers, the children trooped-
Dear living sunbeams they!
They fiutter and dance and laugh and shout
They revel the long day through,
With never q thought Of the storms that hide
The sun and the sky so blue;
How different life from the city strain
In Sweetbrier Lane! -
Dear Sweetbrier Lane, so far away!
It's only In dreams see
The wondrous beauty that spring so loves
e. To lavish abroad on thee.
I sigh as dream OF this boyhood's haunt
OF the changes that time hath wrought:
OF the innocence sweet so rudely eflaced
BY knowledge so dearly bought;
And my song OF joy hath q sad refrain,
Dear Sweetbr1er Lane!

THE FARMING WORLD,
HORSE BREEDING.

The Proper Ago for Mares-Treatmout OF
~. ss..-t A0ther and FOal.
II mare is large and has the appear
ance of being matured, she may be bred
~ two years; but the practice of breed
ing at that age is not commended, as
the formation and growth of the foal
takes what should 20 towards the de-
velopment of the mare, In addition,
not much will be gained by breeding at
that age, as it is very rare that mare
that is sucking colt when three years of
age will breed. 1t will do no harm to
work mares moderately either before or
after foaling. If after, they should be
we'll fed and rot be kept from the colt
TO exceed four hours at any one time.
The best time, all things considered,
to have marc foa1 is soon after she has
been turned out to pasture, which in
this latitude is about June 1. At this
time they get what exercise nature in
tended they should have, and the fresh
grass acts as laxative, 50 that the risk
OF losing the colt is reduced to the min
tmum. The colt will thrive better and
90 better than If foaled early in the
spring, especially if the mare is ex-
pected to do her share of the .'spring
work." BY the way, it is very essential
that mare in foal should have plenty
OF exercise. 1t is not enough that she
has box-stall to run in, but it is much
better that she should be turned loose
In yard during the day. In the fall
is good time for a mare to foal, as it is
not the busy part of the year. The colt
may be weaned in the spring, and the
mare will be ready for work; but-as is
too often the case-the colt should not
be allowed to go without his regular al
lowance of oats, even when the pasture
is best, during the summer.
The class of horses that farmers
should breed Is the kind that is best
adapted to their own requirements
Here In the East horse that weighs
1900 pounds, with good action and
plenty of endurance, is what most farm
ers want. The French coach horses are
becoming deservedly popular with those
who 60 in for improvement. When
crossed with our native mares, they pro-
duced class Of horses adapted to any
and all kinds of farm work, and are des-
tined to supply the hitherto unsupplied
demand for fine, housekeeping carriage
horses, as we'll as for many other places
where strong, active horses are wanted
They have been bred up to their present
high standard under the direct super
vision of the French Government, and
no horse can have a certificate of regis
try unless sired by stallion owned by
the Government. Trotting-bred mares
will cross we'll with these horses. The
colts will have more size and will not
not be wanting in speed. Country

ROB ROY,S SWORD.

The Claymore Of the Famous Highland
Chief on View In Brooklyn.
On one of the tables in the library OF
the Long Island Historical Society's
building in Brooklyn there lies an OBJ
ject that is more than ordinarily inter-
esting. 1t is a sword bearing the marks
than two centuries old. None but a
strong man could WELD it, Its original
owner was strong man, if what we read
of him is true, for the battered sword in
question is none other than the clay.
more of Rob Roy MacGregor, whose
fame has been perpetuated for all time
by the genins of Scott.
The wars of the Highlanders were con.
cluded long ago, but looking at this
great blade one can almost imagine that
those fierce feuds and battles which
Scott has so graphically depicted were
but things of yesterday. Rob Roy's
blade was not drawn in the fights of the
Highlanders alone, for it was swung
right sturdily in many Of the battles
over the border between the Cavaliers
and the Covenanters.
The famous claymore is about five
feet long, weighs. some fifteen pounds,
and has broad, two-edged blade of the
finest tempered steel. It has basket
hilt of strongly wrought brass, so fash.
Toned that the weapon could be used
with one hand or both. This was at one
time covered with leather, which has
been worn away by time and hard use.
There is wee piece left, however, on
which the name Rob Roy" with the
exception of the first letter, may still
be seen. The blade, though much
nicked, is as strong as it ever was.
The relic is the property of John Mac.

hibited at the Philadelphia Centennial
in 1876. 1t is by the courtesy of Mr..

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.

A newfoundland Whose Bsgsclty Seemed
1nexhausuble IN tt Resources.
A good dog story is always appre-
ciated, because canine sagacity seems
inexhaustible in its resources. A
Glasgow gentleman owned an intelli-
gent Newfoundland dog, which accom-
panied his master wherever he went,
and was his inseparable companion in
his visits and to church. One evening
the gentleman went to visit neighbor.
The dog attended him. It was quite
late when the gentleman started for
home, and, to his surprise, the dog could
not be found. # St5ss ~. btE$
After the family had retired, there was
great noise in the kitchen. It was
supposed that burglars were robbing
the house. Soon there, was crash and
. smash like the breaking of a win
dow, and then all was still. The morn
ing revealed the mystery. The dog had
fallen asleep under the table. He had
realized that his master had gone homo,
and the noise heard was the attempt of
the dog to make his escape. As there
was no other way to get out, the saga
cious animal went through the window,
taking glass and frame with him.
1t was q long time before his
master visited that house again. When
he did his dog accompanied him, and
the ANNA found his way through the
open door of the kitchen to his old
hiding place under the table. When
the master was about to start for home
neither his hat nor cane could be found.
After long search the dog was discov-
cred fast asleep under the table; ono
paw was on his masters hat, the other
resting on his stick. How the dog OBJ
tanned possession of these articles no
one could tell. He remembered his last
visit to the place and how scurvily he
had been treated. The sagacious Great
ure resolved not to be left behind next
time. He knew that his master could
not 60 home without his hat and stick,
and that he would be awakened when
his owner got ready to start. His plans
were acutely laid, and, If he had been
human, he could not have done better.

| The organ of the Young Mems Chris

from the Waterman to that of tho

Rev. Theo. l.. Cuyler, D. D., saws
that every theological student ought to
hear Mr.. Moody preach at least once .
year. ''They might learn from him
that the secret of all effective preaching
of the Gospel is to present evangelical
doctrine made red-hot by Heaven-sent
1ervor for the salvation of souls, and so
to present it that child might under
stand it."
The total number of souls who have
professed salvation at the Salvation Army
penitent forms for the five months end
ing with April is 100000. At the COM
mencement of November, the officers of
the organization, upon General Booths
instructions, set about to obtain 1O0,-

during the following six months, and
this number has now almost been
reached.
