Great Men Of Our Century. !.

Our generation has been fertile in
great men. On the threshold of the
nineteenth century the great Napoleon
still ovcrshadowed the earth with the
baleful might of his genius. America
has had Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses
s. Grant. France has rejoiced in the
possession of the first compeer Of
Goethe in the person of Victor Hugo.
To Germany has been accorded tho
greatest statesman of these later years,
a new Warwick, who was more than a
King-maker, since he was the molder of
an empire. He is the one modern figure
that can vie in grandeur with that of
Richelieu. But, unlike the mighty
Cardinal, he has left behind him no
monument amid the artistic and literary
institutions of his country. Painting
and science and poetry and music were
beneath the scope of his gigantic in
tellect But Richelieu chiefly lives in
the worlds memory as the protector OF
French literature, the patron of Cor
nellie, and the founder OF the Sor-
boune. the French Academy and the
couedis Franceise - Lucy H H0opcr.

The SENSE OF SMELL.


In Horses It Is Developed to m Extraor-
I. binary Degree.
The horse will leave musty hay I'M
touched in his bin, however hungry. He
will not drink water Objectionable to
his questioning sniff, or from bucket
which some odor makes offensive, how
ever thirsty His intelligent nostril will
widen, culver and query over the dam
test bit offered by the fairest of hands,
with coaxings that would make mortal
shut his eyes and swallow a nauseous
mouthful at gulp.
A mare is never satisfied by either
sight or whinny that her colt is really
her own. until she has certified nasal
certificate to the fact. A blind horse,
now living, will not allow the approach
of any stranger without showing signs
of anger not safely to be disreearded.
The distinction is evidently made by
his sense of smell, and at considerable
distance. Blind horses, as q rule, will
gallop wildly about a pasture without
striking the surrounding fence. The
sense of smell informs them of its
proximity. Others will, whom loosened
from the stable, go directly to the gate
or bars opened to their accustomed
feeding grounds, and when desiring to
return, after hours of careless wander
ing, will distinguish one outlet and
patiently await its opening. The odor
Of that particular part of the fence is
their pilot to it.
The horse, in browsing, or while
gathering heritage with its lips, is
guided in its choice of proper food en-
tirely by its nostrils. Blind horses do
not make mistakes in their diet. In the
temple Of Olympus bronze horss was
exhibited, at the sight of which six real
horses experienced the most violen,
emotions. ELAN iudiciously observes
that the most perfect art could moi
initiate nature sufficiently we'll to pro.
duce SO strong an a!lusion. Like Pliny
and Pausanius, he consequently afirmi
that '.in casting the statue magician
/ had thrown hippomanesu upon 1t" which,
by the odor OF the plant, deceived the
1 orses, and therein we have the secret
of the miracle. The scent alone of {
buffalo robe will cause many horses *
! evince lively terror, and the floating
scent Of railroad train will frightez
some long after the locomotive is out o
sight and hearing. Horse and Stable.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
There's poet who sings
OF the wonderful things
That man with his might and his knowledge
gets through;
But wish to rehearse.
In Jingle OF verse,
good many things that woman can co.
II distressed you appear
She can comfort and cheer,
pispclling the trouble that made you look blue.
She Is born to console
Any suffering soul;
This is one Of the things woman can do
She can talk like book,
She can wash, sew or cook,
She can take shabby garments and make them
look new;
And to keep q house neat.
Cheerful, healthy and sweet
Is another good thing that woman can 40
She's wonderful trick
When she nurses the sick,
And as mute as o shadow her tasks she'll pur-
sue.
As an angel to cheer,
She can stand without peer;
Il one of the things that q woman can 40.
In good many ways
She's entitled to praise;
In q good many others-to give her her due
She's little bit wrong.
To continue my song,
will name other things that woman can't 90.
suppose you will own
That she can't throw stone
With possible chance Of her aim being true
And the pencil she'll point
Will look cut of joint;
It Is one OF those things that woman can't 40
II she goes to the play,
In the night time or day,
The hat she will wear hides the stage from your
view;
And to think those behind
To look on are inclined
Is one of the things that . woman can't DO
II she goes out to spend
few hours with a friend
She can't keep her tongue still q minute or TWO
And no note she'll address
Is without its p. S.
For that's one of the things that woman can
