Shetland Ponies.

The ponies are not an agricultural,
but domestic necessity. In Shetland,
as in parts of Ireland, every family de-
ponds for its supply of fuel on peat,
and as the peat is seldom near at hand
on the shore where the houses stand,
but on the hill behind them-there is
always hill in the rear in Shetland
each house requires several ponies.
After the peat has been dug and dried
it is carried home on the backs Of ponies
in blankets called "cassies."
The Shetland pony is striking OK
ample of development; for generations
past he has been bred, reared and
trained with O uniformity which could
not have been secured in any other
part of the United Kingdom. Hence
his physique and general character,
his hereditary instincts and inteli-
gence, his small size and his purity and
txity of type, A pony which has had
to pick its way down steep hills for
generations must needs be exceedingly
surefooted.
A pony whose grooms and playmates
are the children of the neighborhood-
who roll about underneath him OF on
his back-must be gentle; and the
pony living on the scathold, or air
sometimes, must be hardy. The pony
of the Shetland Isles is the offspring
of circumstances. He is the pet of the
family, will follow his friends indoors
like dog and lick the platters or the
children's faces. He has no more tricks
in him than cat and no more bite than
puppy. He is noble example of
the complete suppression of the vicious
propensities some of his kind exhibit
when they are ill-treated, and of the
good temper that may be developed in
horses by kindness. There is no prec-
edent for his running away, nor for his
becoming frightened or tired. He
moves down rugged hillsides with cir
cumspection, and in crossing Doggy
spots where the water is retained and
a green carpet of aquatic grass might
deceive some steeds and bring them to
grief in the spongy trap, he carefully
smells the surface and is thus enabled
to circumvent the danger.
In winter the Shetland pony wears q
coat of felted hair, especially suited for
the season. His winter garment is
well adapted for protecting him against
the fogs and damps of the climate. II
is warm and comfortable, and fits close
to the wearer's dapper shape. But
when the coat grows old toward spring,
at the season when the new one should
appear, it becomes the shabbiest ofthe
kind you often see. Its Very amplitude
and the abundance OF the material rem.
der it the more conspicuous when il
peels and hangs for while, worn and
ragged, then falls bit by bit till the
whole of it disappears. No horse looks
his best when losing his coat, and the
more coat there may be to lose the
worse he looks.

The Teachers Mistake,

A boy of IL or IA summers, who does
the general utility business in an Office
on Newspaper Row, is. the hero of an
adventure which upset the gravity of
a public school last week, says the
New York Satn. He was sent uptown
with letter to one of the lady teach
ers, and under strict orders to see it
placed in her own hands, and bring
back her acknowledgment of its re-
ceipt in writing. Reaching the school
building, he was directed to the room
of the principal, who, after learning
his errand, took him upstairs to the
lady teachers classroom, and merely
remarking:
"Miss Blank. here's letter and q
boy" placed the letter on her desk
and pointed to the boy.
Not needing the letter, the teacher
thought the urchin was new pupil,
and running her eye over him re-
marked with severity.
THE first thing for you to do is to
take that chewing gum out of your
mouth and throw it away"
+ The terrified lad did as he was bid
den, and did not venture to remon-
strate when she placed him in q seat,
put books and slate before him, and
told him to wait until she could attend
to him.
Half an hour later she summoned
him before her and asked him his name.
He told her. Then she inquired his
residence, and when he said it was in
Madison street she demanded, with
some asperity. how it happened that
he came SO far uptown to school
Then the murder was out, and the
school room rippled with mocking
laughter as the dignifed teacher
blushipgly took ont her pocket-book
and handed over to the involuntary
pupil nickel to replace the chewing
gum which she had so ruthlessly con-
fiscated. The boys life would be q
happier one if the other employees at
the Office did not perpetually call to
him to take that chewing gum out of
his mouth.

must face. It's geographical distribu-
ton is still unmapped, but generally it
prevails over the whole east and west
coasts within the tropical limit, all
along the river courses, on the shores
Of the inland lakes and all low-lying

malaria spares no man; the strong fall

frequent; no prediction can be made

haunted by it and which are safe.

IT is not generally known how many

been investigating, and reports that he
has found as many as thirty-three
thousand are destroyed in one night by

more plentiful in Germany than here
to furnish such an item. There is no
question but that the electric light
might be made OF great use in destroy
ing many noxious insects which infest
our gardens and fields. Mosquitoes,
