Mr.. D. G. Whitehead, agent of the
Milwaukee Humane Society, found this
once beautiful sorel horse, with fine
bony head, large hazel eyes, and intelli-
gence like man, covered with bed sores,
reduced to nothing but skin and bones,
and the hoofs grown long and rocker
shaped. When the animal was united
for the first time in nine years he hob
bled out into the sunshine to nibble the
green grass, and showed his gratitude
by a low whinny. The owner of this
cruelty treated animal was only fined
$25 and costs; and again the defendant
sought revenge by suing Mr.. Whitehead
for retaining the feet, and the judge
decided that the society should pay 800
and costs, which the society did, and
now own the feet. Such cruelty is
shocking, and such decisions are setting
q premium on cruelty.

IT almost takes the breath away to
read that Mr.. Sullivan really thinks OF
iabbing Mr.. Slavin around roped-ln-
ring. 1t runs counter to all the habits
of thought We have become woated to
of late whenever we have been led to
contemplate the idol OF Boston. One Is
really inclined to feel mouraful when
he thinks of the state of mind in which
art will be if the successor OF Mr..
Booth actually turns his big back upon
her. About the only hope she has lies
in the fascination which the bottle has
for the distinguished pugilist turned
blacksmith.

SWISS WOMEN.
IN MANY CASES THEY DO MEMS
HEAVIEST WORK.
Some of Them Now and Carry Heavy
taGots-LugGaGe Carried by
Women-Lake Lucerne
Boatwomen.

In q letter from Lucerne, Switzerland,
to the New York Recorder, Elizabeth
Dustin says When the boat from Flue-
len stopped at the quay last night, the
Swiss gentleman whose guest we were to
be for few days was waiting to conduct
US to his home. AS j. stepped upon
the pier, carrying our two travel-worn
satchels, our host motioned to O small,
brown.faced woman who stood behind
him and at respectable distance, and
who Immediately came forward and took
both bags from J-'s hands.

whom carry in my thoughts picture,
were at work in the same little mountain
side field. They made no effort to keep
stroke with each other; they never
spoke; but the olive-skinned, white
Dloused woman was like machine in the
strong, rhythmical swing of her arms.
In some of the tiny cultivable patches
the grass mad been cut and tue hay was
being stored in the chalets. No horses
or wagons are available, and so the
women were bringing it, often for con-
siderable distances, down the mountain
side in baskets, of the shape every travel
er knows, big at the top and tapering at
the bottom, strapped upon their shoul-
ders. The loads some OF them carried
were astonishing, but when they ap.
preached chalet on the up side and
slipped of their baskets upon its roof
for it is through the roof that q noun
tain chalet is flled-they showed no
signs of exhaustion.
Not all of hem were carrying hay. A
good share of the baskets were heaped
high with fertilizer for the better growth
of the second crops upon the zealously
cultivated little fields. Even the little
girls of eight and ten had their own
small back baskets.
It is curious fact, and one the ex-
planstion of which must leave to other
people, that delicacy of hand is so little
affected by work on the mountain farms:
for at the lunch hour-and in the day of
the Swiss peasant woman, which begins
by four in the morning and does not end
until eight in the evening, there are sew
eral lunch seasons-the lace bobbins
would come out and the most intricate
patterns make progress toward that end
ind aim of all Swiss lace-making-sale
to tourists.
The hardest work in Switzerland is
that of the porter, who carries his end
of the chair or litter in which the bulky
British matron goes up the mountains. I
am, perhaps, destroying my own reputs-
ton if I say 1t does not revolt me to see
this done by women. On the side of the
Corner Graf the other day we formed
curious procession. Inere were some
young Britons masculine with alpen-
stocks, some young Britons feminine on
led mules, a middle aged Briton feminine

Family Life for the Insane,

The method of caring for the insane
in Holland is in establishing villages for
their residences where patients are kept
in kind of family life. Surrounding
the village are farms that furnish health
full out-of-door occupation-the open
air employment being regarded as of
great efficacy in the cc.e. Recent coun-
ellis of philanthropists have discussed
this idea with view 10 its trial in this
country. 1t is believed that the enforced
association OF insanc with insane in the
large asylums tends greatly to retard and
often to prevent their recovery.-Bostos

Musical Fish of Ceyl0n.

Every bay and inlet on the coast OF
Ceylon abounds with musical fish. Their
song, if it can be called song, is not
one sustained note like birds, but a
multitude of tiny, soft, sweet sounds,
each clear and distinct in itself, some
thing like tie vibrations of wineglass
when its rim is rubbed with the m DIST
ened finger. In the harbor at Bombay,
India, there is "a fish with song like the
sound produced by an Eolian harp

The death near Allentown, Penn, a
few days ago of Reuben Heffner recalled
the fact that he was one OF forty one
children. His father, John Heffner, was
accidentally killed by the cars six years
ago at the age of sixty-nine years. At
that time he was still in the vigor OF
health. He was dwarfed hunchback.
He was born in Berlin in 1916, and came
to this country in 1S43, settling in the
city of Reading. Until his death he
made living by collecting and selling
rags and paper. His family history is
part of the records of the Berks County
courts, it having been told by him o
short time before his death while he was
witness in lawsuit.
He was married first in 1910. In eight
years his wife bore him seventeen chill
dren. The first aud second years of their
marriage she gave birth to twins. For
four successive years afterward she gave
birth to triplets. In the seventh year
she gave birth to one child and died
soon afterward. Heffner engaged o
young woman to look after his large
brood OF babies, and three months later
she became the second Mrs. Hcffner.
She presented her husband with two
children in the first two years of her we'd
ded life. Five years later she had added
ten more to the family, having twins
five times. Then for three years she
added but one year.
At the time of the death Of the second
wife twelve OF the thirty-two children
had died. The twenty that were left
did not appear to be any obstacle to a
young widow with one child conserving
to become the third wife of the jolly
little man, for ne was known as one OF
the happiest and most genial men in
Reading, although it kept him toiling
like slave to keep score of mouths in
bread. The third Mrs. Heffner, became
the mother of nine children in ten years,
and the contentment and happiness of
the couple were proverbial. One day in
the Fall of 1885 the father of the forty
one children was crossing a railroad
track and was run down by locomotive
and Instantly killed. His widow and
twenty-four of the forty-one children
are still living, most of them in Reading.
They are thrifty and respectable people.

Intelligent Leaf-cutting Ants.

The leaf cutting ants of Texas and
further South are great pests, usually
destroying the most valuable trees. We
have received manJ complaints and speci-
mems of these ants from Texas in years
past, but what seems most strange is that
those who have the opportunity of ex-
perimenting and discovering means for
destroying them rarely or ever attempt
it. These ants are certainly very intelli-
gent, and when about attacking a tree
they divide their forces, one division of
workers ascending the tree and cutting
away the leaves, while another division
of their forces remain on the ground and
gather up the leaves as they fall, drag
ging them away to their nests. To drive
them away try busting the foliage of the
trees with ir.slacked lime, with London
purple, Paris green, or some other kind
Of poison. Look for their nests, and
when found pour hot salt brine into
them, or kerosene emulsion, creosote
and water, or common tar water, for al
most any offensive or poisonous liquid
would either disperse or Kill these pests.
1t is also quite probable that piece of
cloth wrapped about the stem of the tree
and kept constantly smeared with soft
tar or wax would prevent the ants from
getting at the leaves.-[ New York Sun.

which had given birth to such treasure.
The Ssu-ch'uancsc are much given to

cities. The price usually paid for one Of
six or seven years is from seven to ten
taels. They arc kindly reared by the
stock farmer who buys them, receive
"liberal education with all modern ac-
complishments," and when they have
attained the age OF sixteen are easily dis

nothing cruel about it, and many of
these girls are respected members of So
ciety in after life, and certainly enjoy
many more material comforts than il

HI. Weak spot.

One evening four or five drummers
and agents who had been working
Quincy. ILL.,, to no purpose, were dis
GUESSING their ill-luck in the Office OF
the hotel, when one observed:
"There's an old shad down here in a
hardware store who makes me tired.
This is about the fifteenth time I've
tried for an order. and it's no CO."
"Old chap with big nose on him ?"
queried one of the others.
"Yes."
Ordered me out doors, confound
him."
~And he told me" said a third, shat
he never bought of an agent, trusted a
stranger, or got caught on any mans
game"
"That's old Blank to dot" put in
the landlord. Hes as sharp as he is
stingy."
Considerable more was said in the
same strain. but by and by man who
had registered from Chicago put in:
~Boys, it's all in understanding hui
man nature. Bet you $50 even up
that / can get $40 out of him In fifteen
minutes, and that without value re-
ceived or signing my name to paper. I"
His money was covered instantly,
and next morning he took one of the
crowd down to the store, introduced
himself, and said:
"Mr. Blank, the Governor of this State
gave me your name as q prominent
resident of this neighborhood. Our
house is publishing county histories OF
Illinois. Every subscriber at $50 has
q full-paged portrait and two pages OF
reading matter. shall take only five
in this city, and you being the most
prominent resident, have called upon
you first"
~Well, sir, in just twelve minutes he
had old Blanks order for book, and
$40 paid down as a guarantee that he
would take IL. He had hit him in bis
weak spot, and our money fell into his
pocket with a thud which could be
