Veterinary surgeon Ogilvie, OF Ber-
lin, had horse on exhibition recently
that attracted unusual attention. II
was one that had been purchased for
$40 on account of its being wind
broken and unable to be of any use.
He performed surgical operation up.
on it by cutting a hole in its neck about
half way between the shoulders and
head clear into the windpipe and in.
serted tube. Through this tube the
horse breathes, and by placing The
hand over it one can feel the breath
the same as from the nose. The day
the horse was purchased it took him
half an hour to go half mile. Now
he can trot the same as any horse.

Why we ask, did they not notify them that
they had no power to act in the natter To say
that the Co. Board directed them to do what
they had no authority to do, to "trespass
clothed them with no authority in the matter,
sanctioned their action at a subsequent meeting
by paying the accounts, Is casting very grave
reflection upon the intelligence and legal
knowledge Ofthat body as well as the Dist. Att y
who is their legal adviser.
He closed both his articles with the announce
ment that he had more he could say. Yes. when
subject is treated III that fashion it never gives
out. 1t Is the author that becomes exhausted.
No need for treatment at any state institution,
however; we can attend TO his case.
A few words about the case as il now stands
and we are done We feel that he has made
himself sufficiently ridiculous that we can
afford to treat with silent contempt any further
abuse from him.
\ few days after their aid was Withdrawn the
daughter left, leaving the leper entirely alone.
Neighbors looked after her for a few days, when
our supervisors, after first serving a notice on
the Poor Com. that the case demanded their
attention and that the town would hold the
county responsible for damages if they neg
lected their duty, hunted up her husband and
brought him home, but there is no question but
what they must soon be wholly supported
either by the county or the town. We have had
experience in litigation with the county, and
though cOntendng for a righteous cause and
crowned with success we have no desire for any
more Of it. If the town applies to the courts
for redress of grievances il will be a very last
resort If the county board had advised its
agents to take such a course our people would
feel iuCensed against the county. As ii is, they
are only incensed against its agents. We do
not believe the county board will be so lost to
the action of its agents, and say that a town
ought 10 support two paupers which by their
agents own account they have created. and
whom they directed their agents to make pro-
vision for, after abolishing the county poor
system
We are now done with this discussion.

4 FIGHT TO TIE DEATH.
Terrific Battle Between Mad Stallion and
JackasS.

LEXINGTON, Ky, January pa
battle to the death took place in AIer-
Ger County yesterday between val
liable saddle stallion and a .jackass be-
longing TO William Thomas, a stock
raiser. \ few days ago a mad dog bit
Thonlas's little boy and the stallion.
Yesterday the horse went mad, and,
kicking down the door to the jack S
stable, began biting him. The jack re-
taliated, and for fifteen minutes they
fought, using their teeth, heels, and
fore feet. Finally the jack tore the
stallion's left ear with his teeth, and
the stallion then bit piece from the
jacks neck. This seemed to make the
jack more ferocious than ever, and,
grabbing the lower part of the stallion S
neck in his teeth, he tore out his wind
pipe. But the high-mettied stallion
did not give up, aud before falling ne
kicked the jacks left hind leg, break
ing it just below the hook. He then
fell dead. The jack uttered long,
loud bray and went into his stable.
He was covered with blood and
wounded unto death, so that his mas
ter killed him ito put him out of his
misery. The boy was taken to a mad
stone. The stone stuck three times,
and be shows signs of madness. It
is believed he WI recover.

4 middle-aged gentleman who was
crossing Union Square the other after
noon with his wife, pulled bis hand
kerchief out of his overcoat pocket and
with it dainty letter. y boy who
noticed the circumstance ran after him
and called:
"Hey, mister, you dropped this let

"a letter." asked the man as he
stopped.
'Yes, and it's directed in woman's
handwriting, too"
''Give it to me-" said the lady.
"Boy, you go"' warned the man.
~ know you, sir, and I'll put an off,
Ger on your track. Come, Lucy, it's
the old freight bill dodge you've read
about so often in the papers"
They walked on and the lad uttered
whistle Of surprise, made up faces
after them, and was perhaps a mile
away when the gentleman came hur-
rying back and asked Of an idler who
was walking around:
"Have you seen anything of a boy
about so tall, dressed in brown suit,
with letter in his hald: ,"

UTILITY FIRST.
Shoppers Who Look to Beauty in an Ar
ticle Miss It.
from the Ladies' Home Journal. ]

From the Ladies Home Journal.
In one of Miss EGgeworth's moral
tales there is 4 story OF . little girl
who one day went shopping with her
mother and whose fancy was so COM
pletely captivated by a purple vase
that she was willing to go without
pair of shoes that she might purchase
it. When she goes home she pours
out of the vase q dark liquid that it
contained and it is 10 longer q purpl
vase.
Over and over again do shoppers
have to learn from bitter experience
Miss Edgeworth's very apparent moral
that we should buy things that will
wear.
I well remember my first shopping
experience. I thought only of beauty
and nothing of utility as I purchased a
gauzy material for gown, which was
pale lavender in tint. When the gown
was made I wore it to visit friend
who lived hy the seaside: the return
necessitated a long walk along the
shore after sundown, with damp
wind blowing from the sea. When /
reached home great was my grief to
see that my fine new gown Of cotton
and wool bad so shrunk in the damp
salt air as to be nearly up to my knees.
Dampening and ironing and "letting
down" partly restored it to usefulness,
but the delicate color faded in streaks
and 1 realized that in buying the gown
I had bought a purple vase. The les
son sank deep, but l forgot it when a
few weeks ago I wanted material to
curtain u little nook in room in my
home. I bought some China silk it
was very pretty, having shrimp-pink
ground, with white arum lilies and
green leaves spreading al over it, and
when suspended from a brass rod the
decorative effect was good, but the
morning sun rests warm and strong on
that spot and already the beautiful
pink is "fying out" as the planters
say. My pretty curtains are, you see,
a purple vase. The woman who buys
parasol for the handle, or gay
printed muslin that will not wash, OF
cheap kid gloves, or anything simply
because it takes her eye, will find that
she has bought purple v;.se.

Old Age Not Matter Of Years.
From the Boston Journal.

Ao.AA SLIS A<N- .OAA "NS'A --N>-'
Every citizen of the world. growing
wiser each year, believes that the flight
Of time should have no influence upon
the heart, should not destroy vigcr Of
health and freshness Of feeling, and
should not mark nan as ''old" SIM
ply by a standard of years. In spite
Of the rush and excitement caused by
modern competitor, there are many re-
mArkable examples of active longevi-
ty. Old men of eighty-four years are
seen taking tours in Europe. One old
gentleman over eighty has just started
for Michigan to enjoy the good skating
OF that region. Five people over
seventy were found in & party OF twen-
ty-two upon an excursion to the 1os-
emite. Old people like Mr.. Gladstone,
DR.. Holmes and Mr.. Whittier and
others both in this country and Europe
are increasing the tendency among
people of to- lay to believe that old age
is not a matter Of years.
Our sanitary improvements and The
dissemination Of ideas OF hygiene have
not only added to the average length
OF life, but have made those added
years q period Of enjoyment and OF
value to the community. According TO
the ideas exemplified by Mr.. Glad,
stone, it is possible to measure quan'
tity of work done equally with length
of days and to make old age count fol
more value than mere statistics or the
census.

THE SEVEN BIBLES.
All Others Have. Been Written Since the
Christian Scriptures.

The seven Bibles of the world are
the Koran of the Mohammedans, the
Tri Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five
Kings of the Chinese, the Three Vedas
of the Hindus, the Zendavesta Of the
Persians, the Eddas of the Scandina-
vians, and the Scriptures of the Chris
tians.
The Koran is the most recent of all,
dating from about the seventh century
after Christ. 1t is a compound OF
quotations from both the Old and New
Testaments, and from the Talmud.
The Tri Pitikes contain sublime
molals and pure aspirations. Their
author lived and died in the sixth Gen.
tury before Christ.
The sacred writings of the Chinese
are called the Five Kings, the word
''kings' meaning web of cloth. From
this it is presumed they were original
ly written on five rolls of cloth. They
contain wise sayings from the sages on
the duties of life, but they cannot be
traced further back than the eleventh
century before our era.
The Vedas are the most ancient
books in the language of the Hindus,
but they do not, according to the late
commentators, antedate the twelfth
century before the Christian era.
The Zendavesta of the Persians, next
to our Bible, is reckoned among schol-
ars as being the greatest and most
learned Of the sacred writings. 10
roaster, whose sayings it contains,
lived and worked in the twelfth GEN.
tury before Christ.
Moses lived and wrote the Pentateuch
l 800 years before the birth of Christ !;
therefore that portion of our Bible is
at least three hundred years older than
the most ancient of other sacred writ
ings.
The EddaS, semisacred work of the
Scandinavians, was given to the world
IL the fourteenth century.

THE AIR SHIP.
A Model CT 1t TO 20 Exhibited IN Chicago
and New Iork-Perhaps.

CHICAGO, III, January A-Ihe
air ship here is q small 80 foot model
which has been bai!t by the company
especially fo- exhibition. The buoy
aDcy chamber IS made OF oiled silk,
and is flied with hydrogen gas. Inc
model viii carry Two men. rs now
being put together N the Exposition
building, where It's owners say 1t Will
be exhibited to the public early next
week.
The utmost secrecy attends the op-
erations at the Exposition buildings,
not even reporters being allowed 10
peep at the mysterious machine. The
inventors say that this model worked
successfully at Mount Carmel and that
they have brought it here to prove TO
an incredulous uJ,ic that the thing
is not only possibility bat fact.
They expect TO take the model from
here to New York, where it will also
be placed on exhibition.
The directors Ct the Ait. Carmel Ae-
ronautic Navigation Company, held a
meeting at tie Grand Pacific Hotel
last Tuesday and ordered an assessment
of 10 per cent. on their $50, 100000 cap
itaI stock. Pennington, the promoter
of the company, says the action was in
good faith, and that toe $2,000,000 is to
be paid in without delay, and used for
construction purposes.
THE AIR SHIP WORKS WELL.
CHICAGO, Ill, January 27.-Inven-
tor Pennington said tonight that he
foated his air ship in the exposition
building this morning IN the art room.
He claims that every part OF the me-
chanisn worked perfectly, the steering
wheel turning as smoothly as though
OF rollers, while the other wheels did
their work 70 the satisfaction Of every
one.
When released the machine rose gent
" srom the floor, Toated twenty feet
to the roof and obeyed its mechanism
very readily. Once, when an assistant
let a cord slip, the machine rose swift
y to the root.

uoAR GLAD TO GET RID OFT.
Personally not Sorry About the Force Bill
Massachusetts Republicans Against 1t.

Senator Eoar is reported to have said
that he was heartily glad to have the
responsibility connected with the force
Dill lifted from his shoulder, and, so
far as he is concerned, was willing to
abide by the vote Of the Senate on the
gag rule" last Monday. In this con-
rcction 1t is said that an informal con-
ference of Republican Senators was
held soon after the gag rule" had been
side-tracked, and Senator Hoar took
occasion to call attention to speecf
made at banquet held in Boston las
Saturday night by w. Z. Barrett,
Speaker Of the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture, and editor of the Boston Adver-
tiser, in which the latter said he had
made personal canvass of the Repub-
lican party in the State Legislature and
found large majority of the members
opposed to the passage of the force bill.
As a personal friend to Senator Hoar,
Speaker Barrett is said to have advised
him to make no further figat in behalf
OF the elections bill and to allow the
vote of Monday to decide the question
for the present session. In view Of this
advice Mr.. Hoar is alleged to have said
that he felt justified in washing his
! hands Of the business as it had been a
source Of continued personal incon-
venience and discomfort.
No formal agreement has been
reached on the subject of the fore bill
and none will be made until Senator
Aldrich returns from Providence. In
the meantime the Democrats are keep
ing bright outlook all along the line
to provide against a secret attack or a
flank movement. Several Republicans
Senators, who have heretofore voted
with Senators Hoar and Aldrich for
the force bill and "gag rule" an
| nounced to-day their readiness to make
an agreement by which the business
on the calendar may be proceeded with
without fear of the force bill being
called up again. Propositions to this
efec. are still pending. 4 prominent
Democratic Senator said this evening
to representative of the Sun that there
! were several Republican Senators,
popularly considered to be advocaters
of the gag rule and the force bill, who
would go against both if their votes
were needed. He said the whole field
was carefully gone over on Sunday
last, and the one majority which side
tracked the Davenport scheme was
fully assured, and one majority was as
good as twenty. But there were severa
other Republican votes in reserve ha6
| they been needed.
