A FIGHT TO TIE DEATH.
Terrific Battle Between Mad Stallion and
Jackass.

LEXINGTON, Ky, January ga
battle to the death took place in Mer-
Ger County yesterday between val
liable saddle stallion and q jackass be-
longing to William Thomas, a stock
raiser. a few days ago mad dog bit
Thomas's little boy and the stallion.
Yesterday the horse went mad, and,
kicking down the door to tie 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 a piece from the
jacks neck. This seemed 10 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-mettled stallion
did not give up, and before falling he
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,
aid he shows no signs Of madness. It
is believed he will recover.

UTILITY FIRST.
Shoppers Who Look to Beauty in an Ar
ticIe Hiss It.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.l
In one Of Miss Edgeworth,s moral
tales there is story Of q 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 a
pair Of shoes that she might purchase
it. When she goes home she pours
out Of the vase a dark liquid that 1t
contained and it is no longer purple
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 purchased a
gauZy material for gown, which was
pale lavender in tint. When the gown
was made I wore it to visit a friend
who lived by the seaside: the return
necessitated. a long walk along the
shore after sundown, with q damp
wind blowing from the sea. When |
reached home great was my grief to
see that my fine new gown Of cotton
and wool had so shrank 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 l realized that in buying the gown
I had bought purple vase. The les
son sank deep, but l forgot it when a
few weeks ago I wanted material to
curtain Il 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 all over 1t, and
when suspended from a brass rod the
decorative effect was good, but the
morning sun rests warm and strong Oh
that spot and already the beautiful
pink is "fying out" as the planters
say. Ny pretty curtains are, you see,
purple vase. The woman VINO buys
parasol for the handle, or gay
| printed muslin that will not wash, or
cheap kid gloves, or anything simply
because it takes her eye, will find that
she has bought purple vase.

Old Age Not a Matter of Years.
From the Boston Journal.

rom the boston JOuFnalJ
Every citizen Of the world, growing
wiser each year, believes that the flight
of time should have 60 Influence upon
the heart, should not destroy vigor Of
health and freshness of feeling, and
should not mark q nlan as ''Old' SIM
ply by standard Of years. In spite
of the rush and excitement caused by
modern competition, 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 i'll a party of twen-
ty-two upon an excursion to the Ios-
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- Jay to believe that Old age
is not matter of years.
Our sanitary improvements and tho
dissemination of ideas of hygiene have
not only added to the average length
o; life, but lave made those added
years 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 tol
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
tiars.
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. 70
roaster, whose sayings it contains,
lived and worked in the twelfth CEN
tury before Christ.
Moses lived aud wrote the Pentateuch
l,300 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, a semisacred work Of the
Scandinavians, was given to the world
in the fourteenth century.

HoAR GLAD TO GET RID OFT.
Personally not Sorry About the Force Bill
CI&ssachusetts Republicans Against 1t.

Senator Hoar is reported to have said
that he was heartily glad to have the
responsibility connected with the force
bill 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-
nection it is said that an informal con-
ference of Republican Senators was
held soon after the gag rule' had been
side-tcacked, and Senator Hoar took
occasion to call attention to speecl
made at banquet held in Boston las
Saturday night by w. T. Barrett
Speaker of the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture, and editor Of the Boston Adver-
tiser, in which the latter said he had
made a 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 fight 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
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 a 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
effect are still pending. a prominent
Democratic Senator said this evening
! to representative Of tue 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 several
other Republican votes in reserve had
they been needed.

Usurers Killed in Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2.-Advices
from Samaria state that the peasantry,
driven TO desperation by the extortions
of the "koolaks," as the native usurers
are called, have killed a number of them
and robbed their dwellings of the money
and valuables wrung from the starving
country people. In one Samaria village
a kodiak noted for his grasping disposi-
ton has come into possession, since the
beginning of the famine, of nearly all
the jewelry worn as heirlooms by the
women of the neighborhood. His life
was spared on surrendering the pledges.
The koolaks are known to be in many
cases IN collusion with the officials, who
aid them in extorting their exhorbitant
interast
