Shetland Ponies,

The ponies are not an agricultural
but a domestic necessity. In Shet-
land, as in parts of Ireland, every
family depends for its supply Of fuel on
peat and us the peat is seldom found
near at hand where the houses stand
but on the hill behind them-there is
always a hill in the rear in Shetland,
every island consisting mainly of a
hill with a patch Or two of "smooth"
land in few snug hooks by the shore
and as it often is a distance of several
steep and stony miles. each house re-
quires several ponies, the number
depending on the distance and char
acter of the road. A family living
''convepient'' to the peat may require
only two peat carriers, and another
family may require half a dozen. The
material, after it has been DUG and
dried in the usual manner, is carried
home on. the backs of the ponies in
blankets called "cassies'' 1t is obvi-
Gus that the back which performs this
kind of service should be broad and
strong. The Shetland pony is a strik-
ing example of development; for gen.
erations past he has been bred and
reared and trained with uniformity
which could not have been secured in
any other part of the United Kingdom
Hence his physique and general char
acter, his hereditary instincts and in =
telligence, his small size, and his puri-
ty and fixity of type. A pony belong

Popular Fallacies,

The antique worship Of mystic
numbers still shows it's after-effect
in various popular superstitions,
for instance, the idea that young
animals born blind will open their
eyes on the ninth day. The truth is
that the blindness period of puppies
varies from ten to sixteen days, and
that of kittens from six to twelve.
My children have a private zoo OF
domestic and foreign rodents, and
after a three years experience have
come to the conclusion that the
young of white rats never open their
eyes before the fifteenth day, the
eighteenth day being the usual
average. The frequent assertion
that "colds" will run their natural
course in nine days is equally erron.
eous. A slight catarrh, character
lied by all it's unmistakable syinp-
toms, may come and depart in three
times twenty-four hours, while
chronic "colds' are often as persist
ent as their cause, and may worry a
whole family from Christmas to the
season OF open windows. Country
experts in, the pneumonia of rabies
are apt to assure the victim of a
swapping cur that the bite of a mad
dog will show it's effect on the
seventh day, after which time
(sometines extended to the ssninth

that the virus Of hydrophohin may

ELEPHANTS AT WORK.
The Monster Animal Has Almost Human In.
telliRence

] I X 2 ~ s .
The Hon. Carter Fl. Harrison, in his,
Race with the Sum- describes visit
to some timber-yards and saw mills in
Rangoon, where he saw what he calls
the lions of the city-the working
elephants. The lumber is not sawed
into boards, but the slab is taken off
and the good stuff left in the form Of
square timber. The logs are many of
them three feet in diameter and thirty
or forty feet long. These the elephants
draw from the river and pile in sys-
tematic order. Then when they are
needed, they roll them to the ways
and assist in adjusting them for the
saw. .
After the log is cut, the elephant
goes among the machinery, takes the
slabs away. and carries the good tim
Der and piles it up or lays it gently
upon the OK x-carts to be hauled off.
While we were present a carpenter
wanted lumber from a particular log
which was under several others. One
of the monsters rolled the upper logs
off and pushed the chosen stick to the
mill. The way was not clear-the log
butted against the others. He pushed
these aside and guided his piece
through them with a sagacity almost
human.
His stick became wedged. He push
ed and tugged; it would not budge,.
but at a whispered word from the
mahout and the promise of nice food
he bent to it. Still it stuck. With a.
whistle audible for half mile, he
got on his knees, Strengthened out his
hind legs, and put his whole force in
to push. He was successful. We
could almost read his satisfaction, in
the gentle flaps Of his huge ears and
the graceful curve Of his proboscis as
he put it up to the mounted mahout,
asking for his reward.
Sticks more than two feet thick and
twenty feet long are lifted bodily
upon the great ivories, and are then
carried off and laid upon the gang
ways so gently as not to make jar.
We saw one of the elephants carrying
such timber along a path not three
feet wide among masses of loose logs.
He had to plant his fore feet upon
the logs, and thus walk a considerable
distance. He looked as if he were
walking upon his hind legs. The COR
ner of a frail little bamboo hut stood
in his way. He lifted the log OYER the
roof, and bent his body so that his
sides gently scraped the corner of the
house and did not shake it. A hun
dredth part of his weight would have
caused it to. topple from it's pile

The Country Girl.

The girl was young and country bred
With big straw bonnet upon her head,
And oh she had eyes of the softest blue.
And she looked so sweet and so innocent
too,
To the fellow who came to court her.
He was lad from Gotham town,
His hair was black and his eyes were
brown,
And the dainty moustache meath his Ro-
man nose
Wasn't half so strong as the breath of a
rose,
And he wore black and white blazer.
"And oh!'' said he, as he saw her there,
With the CLINT of the sunlight on her hair,
''I'u have some fun with this country maid,
She's deucedly pretty, but I'm afraid
She's as green as cabbage and clover"
He gazed in her eyes that shyly dropped,
And then, as he lower and lower stopped,
He kissed her pretty finger tips.
Then sought and found her ripe red lips
That were sweeter than any posey.
''I'n teach you what lcve is,'' he softly
said;
But the maiden tossed her pretty head,
And her answer fairly made him start:
81 know that lesson, sir, by heart;
Why, it's older than McGinty.
For every year since don't know when,
I've been taught it and told it by all the
young men
That come down here for their summer va
cation;
And though look shy and as green as can
be,
You'll get left if you're looking for flies on
me-"

CARRoLLToN, O., March 4.-CarrolIton
society is very much torn up over the de-
velopments in the Moore case, which is now
being tried before Judge Ferrall, John
Moore, a prominent citizen, who owns con-
siderable real estate in around this city,
being the defendant His son, John Moore,
of Salineville, Jacob Moore, OF this city,
Mrs. George Devore and Mrs. Beatty
Stroyer, Of this city, are the plaintiffs. 1t is
said that Mr.. Moore, who is SO years of age,
about two weeks ago decided one of his farms,
containing about 12O acres and worth Sc, 900,
to Mrs. Susan Lilley, widow who has been
acting as his housekeeper. His family are try
ing to prove him incapable of transacting busi-
ness, and pray that guardian be appointed.
Some very queer testimony has been given in
regard to the friendship that has been existing
between the widow and her aged admirer.
1t is alleged that the young and handsome
widow promised to marry Moore if he would
deed her the 12O-acre farm which lies two miles
east of this city. After she secured the deed
she refused to marry him as she had been
drawing a fat pension since her late husbands
demise. Last week Willie Lilley, son of the
widow, was arrested and tried before Mayor
Deford charged with stealing wood from the
plaintiffs land. In the petition 1t is claimed
that Moore, under the spell cast by the beauti-
full widow will transfer all his personal and
real estate to Mrs. Lilley unless a guardian is
appointed at once.
Nearly 40 witnesses were examined to-day.
most of whom testified to the soundness of
mind and business qualifications of Mr.. Moore,
He is a very bright and active man for his age,
and declares he will fight them long and hard
before they shall get control of his wealth.

Investigating the Conduct of Captain NJ. A,
HeaIy, of the Revenue Cutter Benr.
SAN FRANCISCO, March Am investi-
cation of the charges of cruelty and mis-,
conduct against Captain NJ. A. Healy, oi
the revenue cutter Bear, is in progress here
before the commission appointed by the
Secretary Of the Treasury for that purpose
The principal accusations against Captain
Healy is that, while the Bear was in the
Arctic last summer, he ordered two sailors
on the bark Estella, against whom some
charge had been reported by the Captain Of
that vessel, taken aboard the Bear and
triced up.
To-day James Hughes, Master at Arms
of the Bear, testified that in June last, while
the Bear was lying at Ounalaska alongside
of the bark Estella, he had taken two sailors
aboard the Bear from the Estella, and had
triced them up, under Captain Healy s
orders. He had left them in that position
about five or seven minutes, with their toes
lust touching the deck. The men were let
down and handcuffed to the stanchions below
the deck seven hours, when they were triced
up second time. The witness said Lieu
tenant Bulinen superintended the tricing
up. The witness also said that at Point
Hope, in July last, by Captain Healy' s
orders, 81 sailors on the bark Wanderer
were placed in irons, and six of the men
tainted The witness said he had meyer
known Captain Healy to Ill treat members
of his own crew. The investigation ad-
iourned till next week.

WORRIED OVER THEIR DEFEAT.
Meeting of the New York Worlds Fair
Executive Committee.

Meeting of the New York Worlds Fair
Executive Committee.
NEW YORK, March 4. - There was a
meeting of the Worlds Fair Executive
Committee to-day. Mayor Grant presided.
The meeting was strictly an executive and
secret one, and lasted but short time. It
was stated by Secretary Speer that the vic
tory of Chicago in the House of Representa-
tives on the question of the site, and the
question as to what ought to be done by the
New York Worlds Fair Committee under
the circumstances, had been discussed. 1t
was finally decided that everything should
be left as before.
The general sentiment of the committee
was that Chicago had only won by the small
majority of two on the eighth ballot the
right to have its name inserted in a skeleton
Worlds Fair bill, that this bill itself had
not yet been voted upon, and that the whole
matter had to yet come up in the Senate of
the United States. 1t was still possible that
the decision Of the House might be changed,
and at any rate, the only thing for the
committee, under the circumstances to do,
was to wait and see what was the final de-
cision of Congress.
