BLIND HORSES.
Tho Strange Pcrceptlve Power Which
They Possess.

Tho Strange Pcrceptlvo Power Which
They Possess.
The way in which blind horses can 20
about without getting into more diff
cultics than they ordinarily do is very
remarkable, observes the London Live
Stock Journal. They rarely, if ever,
hit their heads against fence or stone
wall. They will sidlc off when they
come near one. 1t appears, from care
full observation have made, that it is
neither shade nor shelter which warns
them of the danger. On an absolute
sunless and MINDLESS day their behavior
is the same. Their olfactory nerves
doubtless become very sensitive, for
when driving them they will poke their
heads downward in search of water
fifty yards before they como to a stream
crossing the roadway. 1t cannot be an
abnormally developed sense of hearing
which leads them to do this for they
will act alike though the water be
stagnant pool. Men who have been
blind for any great length of time de-
velop somewhat similar instincts to
blind horses Some onc-I find from Il
fugitive paragraph going the round of
papers aspiring to be of scientific char
'acter-Says that none of the five senses
has anything to do with this singular
,perccptivc power but the impressions
are made on the skin of the face and by
it transmitted to the brain; and this
"unrccognized sense" he calls facial
perception" But possibly this per-
ccptivc power may have its origin in
such conditions as prevail in somnam-
bulism or in the hypnotic state. Arc
iall such phenomena in man and horse
ms have mentioned to be accounted for
by the two words facial perception" if
they mean anything? However, speak
ing of blind horses, why should they
cast their coats as winter comes on and
grow long coats at the advent of sum-
.rncr and so reverse the order which is
the invariablc rule in the case of horses
possessed of perfect vision?

A COURAGEOUS WOMAN.

Sie LIES Burning Candle from u Barrel
of Powder.
In the year 1905, John Harris and his
wife, an English woman by birth, set
tied upon the bank of the Susquehanna
river, ut q place aftcrward Known us
'Harris Ferry"-aow Harrisburg. There
he carried on q trade with the Indians,
great numbers of whom were in that
ncighborhood.
On one occasion, says tho Youths
Companion, Mrs. Harris sent her serv-
ant into the cellar for something. The
girl lighted Il candle, and carrying it in
her hand, without placing it in n candle
stick, disappeared down the stairway.
She returned in 4 short time with tho
desired article, but without the light.
'Wherc did you leave the candle?"
Mrs. Harris inquired.
cit is in the cellar, standing in 6 bar
rel of saad," the girl replied.
'Mcrcifnl goodness!" CALCULATED Mrs.
Harris, fastening down the stairs
There, sure enough, was the candle
standing crcct, in an open barrel of
grnpowtlcr, its feeble flame throwing a
circle of light around it.
Walking boldly up to the barrel, the
brave woman deliberately placed her
hands beneath and around the burning
candle, and lifting it carefully from it's
dangerous position, carried it up the
stairs.

TAKING BLACK SEA BASS.

Lively Story of N Hard Fight with n Zig
Gnmy Fish.
Take it I'M" said my companion, ex-
cltcdly, and bending to the work,
brought the line in, fighting for every
inch that came, when the Mexican
shouted II warming. Whizz! and the
coils lchpcd again into the air. Moth
ing could withstand the rush-a header
directly for the bottom and away.
The anchor, writes c. i. Holder, in
,Scribner, had been hauled up by the
Mexican, ut the first strike, and now.
with line in hand, we were off, the boat
chnrning through the water, hurting
the spray over us, and bearing waves
iof cleaning foam ahead.
"Talsc I'M" cries Joe, who stands by
the coil. and again, slowly fighting
against the dull blows, the line comes
in. Ten feet gained, and whizz-ee! as
many moro are lost. In it comes once
more hand over hand, the holder of the
!iinc bending this way and that, trying
TO preserve Il balance and that tension
which would prevent IL sudden break.
NOW the fish darts to Unc side, tearing
the water into foam, leaving sheet of
lsllvcry bubbles and swinging the boat
iaround as on Il pivot.
Now it is ut the surface-a fleeting
vision followed by Il rush that carries
.thc very gunwale under water. This,
followed by IL sudden Stacking of the
line, sends despair to the heart; he is
gone, the line floats. No, whizz! and
away again, down. All the tricks of
tho sturdy black bass this giant of the
tribe INDUCES in, except the mid-air
leaps which gladden. the heart of the
iangler. Quick turns downward rushes,
powerful blows, mighty runs this gamy
creature makes, fighting inch by inch,
leaving an impression upon the mind
of the fisherman that is not soon for
gotten.
With large rope, and by taking
turns, the fish could have been mas
tered, but such methods arc not consitl-
cred sportsmanlikc here. 1t must be
taken frce-handcd, II fight ut arms
length, and being such the moments fly
by; it is half an hour and we have not
yet seen the outline of our game
Gradually the rushcs grow less, the
blows are lighter and what is taken is
all gain.

FIreflles Light a Mountain.

A special from Ringgold, Ga, tells of
wonderful phenomenon which visited
that historic city. Millions upon mil
lions of tireflies issued from neighbor-
ing mountain ridges and took down tho
course of the Chicl<amauga river, which
skirts that city on its southern border.
The pyrotechnic display was grand.
Trunks of trees slirting the river were
plainly visible n quarter of mile dis
;tant and the entire mountain side was
illuminated. The horde of firefics was
fully forty feet high and it took quar-.
ter of an hour to pass down the stream.
Extending over mile along its course.
