Runaway Horses.

l heard an interesting distinction
made the other day by an experienced
driver of horses, not a professional, as
to the degree of danger to which per
son was exposed from runaway horse
The distinction made was between the
horse that runs away from fright and
the horse that runs away because he is
out of temper In the former case the
animal is said to be perfectly reckless
He is as likely to dash across the street
as he is to go straight ahead, and the
only safeguard for a team approaching
him is to get as far away from him as
possible. But the horse who is the vic
tim of an ungovernable temper has a
method IN his madness. He rushes
straight ahead and is careful TO avoid
obstacles in his path. Such an animal
is much less to be dreaded than the
victim of fright, and there is no neces-
sity for taking unusual precautions
against collision with him. Boston

Thn Charre was Uniust.

A young French advocate, in the
course of his address to the court, flour
ished about his hand in such a manner
as to show off a magnificent diamond
ring He was young, good looking and
pleading for lady of quality, who de-
manded separation from her hus-
band. The husband, who happened
to be present, interrupted him in the
middle of period, and, turning to the
judges, exclaimed theatrically, my
lords, you will appreciate the zeal which
NJ. M is displaying against me, and
the sincerity of his argument, when
you are informed that the diamond
ring he wears Is the very one which l
placed on my wife's finger on the day
of that union he is SO anxious to dis
solve"
'The court, f" said NJ. BerTyer who re-
lates the story, was struck, and rose
Immediately. The cause was lost, and
the advocate never had another. To
add TO the poignancy of the catastro-
phe, the husbands insinuations had no
foundation in fact. San Francisco

He Was a Good Pointer.

In an inward bound Cambridge horse
car sat a young lady who carried an
oblong pasteboard box. Young ladies
with boxes are by no means uncommon
in Cambridge cars, but what attracted
attention to this particular one was the
singular persistency of IA pointer dog
that had smuggled himself into the car.
With head and tail in a straight line,
with one paw raised and with attention
expressed in every line of his motionless
body, the dog pointed to the young
lady. The dogs master, who at first
did not notice his queer actions, whis
tied to him and commanded him to
come to him. The dog looked round
at his master, wagged his tail and inn
mediately resumed his pointing.
II am sorry my dog is annoying
you, MISS" said the master. Come
here, Sport don't see what makes
him act So"
''He isn't annoying me at all, re-
sponded the young lady; "but he'd
feel awfully sold II he knew he was
pointing a dead bird I've got a par
rot in this box. I'm taking it into Bos-
ton to have it stuffed"
All the way into Boston the dog
pointed the dead parrot with a persist
ency worthy of the finest partridge that
was ever flushed. Boston Transcript.

1t is quite philosophical to advocate
plain habits of living, plain clothes and
simple desires as productive of the
greatest satisfaction in life, but to a
man born when this century was about
to reach the half mile post to man
who has lived in this country all his
life; in brief, to an American of today,
the argument is good deal of bore.
One day among the shop windows Of
any city in the United States, or an
hour amid the noise and jingle of any
busy street in any city between the
two oceans, will convince any fair
minded man that the place to preach
the simple, humble doctrine is away
out on some prairie, or in the midst of
some grand old forest, where nature
has the best end of things. gs.-Detroit

creditors presented bill Of long stand

The earliest notice of amber we find
occurs in the Odyssey of Homer, where
"the gold necklace hung with bits of
amber Is mentioned in the list of
jewels offered by the Ph@nician traders
to the queen of Syria. In one of the
Greek fables accounting for the origin
of amber it related that the sisters of
Phaeton, called the Helidae, on seeing
their brother hurled by the lightning of
Jove into the Eridanus, were trans
formed by the plying gods into poplar
trees, and the tears they shed were
dropped as amber on the shores of the
river. - Philadelphia Times.

Terrible Mistake Made by Fond and
Loving Mother In Training Child.
Margaret Paget was young girl OF
no especial mental force, nor, on the
other hand, of any decided stupidity,
who was blessed, If one may SO regard
It In this case, wi,h mother Of excep-
tional ability. Thenother had written
many brilliant literary papers.
Margarets father was dead When
the child went 10 school her mother be
gan to perform her tasks for her. As
the time went by, therefore. the girl be.
came more and more dependent upon
her mother Through the failure to
develop her own powers she seemed to
be able to do nothing on her own ac-
count.
All this of course left Margaret very
lily grounded In all her studies, and re-
hected upon her standing in her ex-
aminations, so that she made slow
progress. At last the mother ashamed
to see her lag behind, took her out of
school and made a weak preterse of in
SUrucJlng nef at nome.
Margaret was pretty and aDiable,
and when she had become eighteen
years old her hand was asked in mar
riage by a worthy young man.
The mother gave a conditional con
sent, and, as the young man lived at
some distance, a correspondence was
begun, of course under the eye of the
mother.
1t was then that the mother realized
how defective her daughters educa-
ton had been. She was unable to
write creditable letter. Her mes
sages, as she showed them to.her moth
err were i'll thought, ill expressed, even
i'll spelled.
"This will never do, said the moth
er She began to write her daughters
responses to the letters of the young
man to whom she was betrothed. Her
own wit and felicity of expression char
acterized them, and the young man
was charmed. Once embarked upon
such course of deceit, the mother
dared not make a confession. The
young man himself was an excellent
writer, and his letters spurred the
mother to her most brilliant efforts as
correspondent.
After this charming correspondence
the young people were married. Neither
the mother nor the daughter dared con-
fess the fraud. : Neither had ''lneant
much" at the beginning, but both had
gone very deep into course of decep-
ton.
The young husband was soon aston
ished to find that his wife was an igno-
rant person, incapable of writing even
sensible letter He questioned her
sharply and she confessed her fault.
Mamma always does things for me, p"
she said helplessly.
The husband found his wife also in
capable of caring for household. She
presently sent for her mother to come
and live with her, though the husband,
having had so forcible lesson as to
her deceitfulness, could only regard her
with suspicion~and dislike.
The marriage was an unhappy one.
The whole lives of two young people
had been utterly spoiled by this tend
ency on the part of mother to spare
her child unpleasant tasks and deprive
her of the nourishing, inspiring wear
and tear of self help.-Youth's Com

The Meso1oie and the Tertiary EpoOhs-
The so called mesozoic epoch was
brought to close by the cataelysm,
due to contraction and consequent
erumbling of the earth's crust, which
upheaved the Rocky mountains and
Andes on this hemisphere aud the Alps,
Pyrenees, Balkans and Himalayas on
the other side Of the world, Incident
ally 20 this tremendous alteration in
the face of tho earth all the giant rep
tiles were wiped out of existence. This
event opened what is called today
the tertiary epoch. 1t Is in the tertiary
epoch that we live now. At the bo-
ginning of this epoch the only reptiles
which survived were the snakes, lizards,
turtles and croeodiles, all of them re-
solnbling closely those OF their kind
which exist today, Professor Cope in
