ETHAN ALLEN AND HIS GREAT
RACE WITH DEXTER.
BY W. II. II. MURRAY.

Does it seem strange to you that a
horse should talk? Why should it? Is
not communication the law of life? Is
there living thing on the earth that does
not communicate? l. the cooling of the
dove meaningless: Is the signal call of
the bird to his mate without significance
Is the alarm-cry which the mother hen
sends shrilly forth in warning to her
chicks, when she sees the shadow of the
hawk on the lawn, unintelligible to her
offspring? Have you ever heard the
mother seal calling to their little ones as
they returned to the ice foe from their
fishing, and the quick, eager, joyful re-
Spouse of the baby seals from the crystal
crevices in which they were hidden in the
morning: Have you never seen the little
ants AS they scurry along in their COM
ing and their going, stop and touch their
antennp, which to them are whattongue
and vocal organs are to us: Verify, Ian
guage is universal. 1t is because man
lacks organs to receive and understand
and not because the animals around us
lack the organs to impart, that makes
them dumb to US.
Sand do they remember me still in
Vermont?' And his eyes softened as he
thought of the hills and the green fields,
the running brook and the great lake
which washes the shore of the State
where he was born. "Do they remember
me still in Vermont" repeated the grand
eyes filled with memories of days that
were happy and days that were gone.
"Remember thee, thou king of the
Morgans!" l exclaimed: "The green
grasses of her summer will wither into
ashes and the SHOWS of her winter will
melt under the fires that bring the end of
the world before the sons and daughters
of Vermont will forget thee, thou eagle
of her hills; thou pride of the Green
mountains !"

their memories are long and their hearts
warm for those who represent them well.
But am far away and trot no more be-
fore the thousands and the world is prone
to forget the doer when the great deed is
DONE
"Tell me of thy greatest deed, cried
"Tell me of thy race with Dexter-for |
did not see it and when men ask me to
describe it am compelled to say, Il was
not there $50 tell me of it myself, and
| will write it down from thy own mouth
and so shall those who love thee have
the tale told rightly to them"
"Thou hast done the Morgans many a
service by voice and by pen, and thou
didst keep our breeding true to its own
line, when not another breeder in all the
country did, being inundated by the
clamOr of a passing fashion and frighten-
ed by their selfish fears, and we Morgans
owe you much" and the dear old horse
came to my side and put his muzzle into
my palm carressingly. So stood he for
a moment with his lips on my hand. And
am prouder of that loving touch by the

Slept in . Lsfs-Pres~rver.

Ar amusing instance Illustrates the extreme of oyercarefulness which some persons exhibit in their eagerness to avoid the danger of drowning while on steamboat trips A young woman who was passenger with some friends on one of the steamers leaving Boston for a Maine city was asked in the morning whether she had a comfortable night, and she replied that her sleep was dis turbed because she had not got used to the life-preserver, which prevented her getting into an easy position. It turned out that she had fastened one of these bulky contrivances round her body on retiring for the night, and, imprisoned in its folds, she had become black and blue from the pressure of it's hard can vas covering upon her. This example of extreme precaution in the use of life- preservers Is striking commentary on the need of ampler directions for their application.

A writer in the Chicago Times tell, Of the passion play" as rendered al Msgdalena, Sonora, where the subject is nailed to the cross and his side pierced until blood flows trickling from the wounds. He also states that the figure which was thus treated was made of wax, but that the people did not know it. SO real was il all. Even the mother, who sat and witnessed the il treatment of her son, believed it to be her offspring as it WAS taken down from the cross and placed in her arms. The writer evidently had not been used to drinking mescal and he is still in Sonora, he should be looked after by his friends.

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
It Does Not Make woman's Lie Easier
 Nor Her Labor Lighter.


 Nor Her Labor Lighter.
 Whenever a woman enters the polit- ical arena she sacrifices that charm of womanhOod, delicacy of manner, which can not be kept pure under the coarser contaminating influences, observes the Des Moines tIa.) Register. We do not assert that politics is in every degreede- grading to woman, but we do think it not eleyating; neither do we think women wield the purifying influence at the polls suffrage advocates claim. We have not observed case in years of observation where the voice of woman is felt in the primaries, the conventions or as representatives, either municipal or executive, though single female delegate to a county convention may be an exception. The better class of wom- en care little for the ballot or political honors. feeling that ''the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" that the mother who gives to her State half a dozen manly votes accomplishes more for her country's good than the woman who neglects home, children and duties to voice the sentiments of women who never knew nor can know the meaning of motherhood, love, or home. Women as a mass do not pine for the ballot, and were it left to the ladies of Wyoming to decide woman suffrage would be lost by large 5Iis si55=T.sj- sii;55=T..ssjT-. While its intinanna Is not degrading to the lords of creation, yet we can not learn that they are par ticularly purified by meeting mother, wife and sister at the polls; and there are but few men. while they might not dare to openly express it, but privately feel disgust at the thought of those they have always held up as enblems of purity becoming contaminated with politics.
 Woman, as an official candidate, will pander to the low and degrading to se- cure votes just as men do! Is this ele- vating or purifying? The condition of woman is no better, nor is life made easier, or labor lighter, where she has a right to vote. The woman who performs her natural labors-be they in the home or outside as a tOiler-if she at the same time keeps herself informed in all that interests her as duty socially and po- | litically, must accomplish more than the strong man, and by harder work. Man has accorded to woman equal rights su- perior to those of the ballot; she may walk side by side with him in the battle of life; she may even outstrip him, as there is no avenue not now open to the woman who wishes to enter the profes- sional arena against her male competi. l tors. =7 The true woman who would make the most of her every GOd-given attribute asks not for the ballot, but for love and home, where the carols of babyhood are sung to the sweetest of babies, where home is heaven, and where the weary husband may find rest and aching hearts sympathy.

WAYS OF cRocOpILES.
Some Of the ssurian's Habits are Ex-
 cesdingly Interesting.

some or The s2urians haDfts are fsA-
 eeedingiy Interesting.
 As Artemus Ward says: ''The croco- dile is not handsome, but he has a very open countenance;" and some of the habits of this animal, as lately de- scribed by NJ. Yoeltzkow, in Nature, are exceeding interesting. Travelling in Wituland he obtained, in January last, seventy-nine new-laid eggs of the ami nal, from a nest which was five or six paces from the bank of the Wagogona, tributary of the 0oi in East Africa. For a space of some eighteen feet in diane ter, spot had been cleared of plants in a circle, apparently by the crocodile having wheeled around several times. A few branches had been laid here and there, but there was no nest-building proper. The nest (so-called) lay open 70 the sun, with the exception of couple of bushes at one part. Four pits dug in the hard, dry ground, about two feet obliqueiy down, held the eggs, about eighty-fye or ninety in number, including those broken in digging out. The natives told the traveller that the crocodile, having selected and prepared spot, makes pit in it thatday, and lays about twenty or twenty-five eggs in it, which it covers with earth. Next day 1t makes second pit, and so on. From the commencement It remains in the nest, and it sleeps there till the hatch ing of the young, which appear in about two months, when the heavy rain period sets in. The egg-laying occurs only once in the year, about the end of Janu- ary or beginning of February. NJ. voeltzkow disturbed the crocodile on its eggs, and saw it drop into the water; but from the look he got of it it seemed to be the Croe0dlas rulgaris so common in East Africa.-Demorest' Magazine.

A Dog without a Brain.

At the last meeting of German neurol-
ogists, held in Baden-Baden, Professor
Goltz, of Strasburg, reported most re-
markable experiment. He cut out, in
two operations, almost the entire cere-
brum of dog, leaving only the cerebel-
lum and small portion of the base of
the cerebrum. The animal lived for
fifty-one days after the last operation,
and then died of pneumonia. The re-
markable part of the experiment was the
influence it had on the dog, who, a few
hours after the operation, raised himself
on his hind legs, put his paws over the
side of his box and looked inquiringly
around. He could walk, eat and drink,
and would chew any food that was
placed in his mouth. Waking and sleep
ing alternated naturally. He was rest
less before feeding, but afterward would
become quiet and sleep. A slight touch
would awaken him from sleep. During
urination and defecation the animal as
sumed the normal position. Hearing,
taste and smell were of course absent

A Natural Turkish Bath.

While some men were at work near
the Crystal Lime company's kilns, three
miles south of Salida, Colo, digging a
well, they ran into something unusual.
When down about sixty feet it became
quite warm, and they dug little more
when an opening appeared.
Upon investigation it proved to be a
cave, with apartments similar to the
rooms in a house. The first cave is about
twenty feet long and ten feet wide and
the ceiling about ten feet high.
The men had been in the cave only a
few moments when they became un-
comfortably warm, the sweat rolling off
them in drops.
The place where the well is being dug
is the same gulch down which the veins
to the Wellsville hot springs run, and
the intense heat in the cave is accounted
for on the ground that it is in close
proximity to the veins of these springs.
The walls and ceiling are said to be
smooth, as if some one had made them.

An Extraordinary Crime.

A remarkable story of a murder comes
from Budapest. The murderer was a
nurse and the victim her charge-a baby
2years old. Both went out together for
an airing, and being absent an unusually
long time, search was made and the girl
found, her clothing wet and soiled. She
explained that while walking with the
child she felt that a petty theft she had
committed would soon be discovered,
and rather than be punished for such a
little thing, she thought she had better
do something that might keep her in
prison all her life. She had been very
happy in prison when there before, she
said, and hoped to spend the rest of her
days there if she threw her masters
child into the river. She bought the
child some cakes and made her laugh by
holding her over the water on the bank
of which she stood. Then suddenly she
dropped the baby, and the current
caught her and carried her off. Before
the child had foated many yards she
saw her sink. The servant did not show
the least repentance, but carefully in
quired whether she was really to be
locked up for life. The mother hoped
that the girl had lost the child, and that
her declarations were untrue; but the
river side was searched with torches, and
the body Of the little one found.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

A New italian Coin.

A dollar is to be struck in Italy, larger
in size and greater in value than the fa-
miliar five lire piece. The old Marie
Therese is to be the model. Even in
coins, and even in Italy, they seem to be
going back to the old patterns. The
Marie Therese thaler is not now so un-
usual as it used to be. There is ten
dency in coins to locate themselves. To
this day the forty franc pieces of the
first Napoleon, rare in the north of
France and not often met in Paris, are
in free circulation on the Riviera. The
new coin will, of course, have on the re-
verse the familiar effigy of King Hum
bert and be surrounded by an inscription
setting forth the Italian sovereignty
over its African possessions.-American
Banker.

OF Cour.s shs Kner.

The other evening at the Columbia
theatre, Fanny Davenport's husband and
leading man, Melbourne Mcdowell, who
plays the part Of Scarpia, the villain, in
"La Tosca," resolved to have a little
quiet fun all by himself. So, after he
had been "killed," he dressed himself
up in the uniform Of big "super" who
plays one of the soldiers in the last act,
and, adorning his face with huge mus
tache, he prepared to march on with the
rest of the supers. So eftectually did
the mustache disguise him that the stage
manager rushed up and asked the big
man what he meant by not appearing
with smooth face, like the rest. "Hush,
don't you know me?" whispered the
actor. I'm Mcdowell"
The stage manager fell back in astonish-
ment and the leading man fell into the
ranks with the rest and marched on the
stage. At the cue when soldier comes
on with lantern to examine the face of
the dead man Mcdowell snatched the
lantern and walked on himself. He hor-
rified the "dead man" by guying him
numerically, and if the actor had not
been supposed to be dead he would have
jumped up and thumped the supposed
"super." When the curtain fell at the
close of the act Mcdowell grabbed Miss
Davenport in his arms and hugged her.
She cried out and the stage hands would
have thrown Mcdowell into the alley had
he not torn off the false mustache and
made himself known. And Miss Daven-
port still insists that she knew who he
was all the time.-Chicago Herald.
