The Judge Could Hear.

: When persons reach threescore years
and five, they may feel and admit
that their moral powers, physical and
intellectual, are beginning to decay;
but when their age extends considera-
bly, beyo this figure, they are often
slow to allow that their bodily and
mental strength is in the least abated.
What is apparent to all others is
denied by themselves. When the Rev.
DR.. Perkins, of West Hartford, was in
the neighborhood Of 60, he wanted a
colleague, but when he was 20, he
could dispense with one, being, in his
own Judgment, fully competent to do

on the bench of the Supreme Court OF
Massachusetts, that when he got to be

How German Professor Gave
His Dog a Musical Education.

How a German Professor Gave
His Dog a Musical Education.
Everyone knows that Germans are
fond OF music. A certain gentleman
who lived in Darmstadt some time
ago was so fond OF it that he was not
happy until every member ofhis house
hold could play something,
Each one learnt to take part in his
concerts in time-each at least, but
the dog; and what could he do poor
fellow? He might, indeed wag his tail
and bark, but it was generally at the
wrong place, until his master made
up his mind that Poodle must learn
somehow to be musical.
Accordingly, Mr.. S--took care
that the dog should be in the room
when the practices or concerts were
going on and should stand quite close
to him. AS he himself conducted, or
beat time, he had a little cane in mis-
hand, and whenever someone played
or sang a wrong note down. came his
masters cane on the dogs back.
Although he was not hurt much,
Of course Poodle objected to this
treatment, and used to howl and
grow]. By-and-by the dog was clever
enough to understand that there had
been mistake, by seeing his master
lust shake a stick at him, and at last

The Naval Officers Title.

The title OF naval officer as applied
to one Of the officials OF the custom
house has always been an enigma to
most people, and very few have any
idea OF how it was created. The Office
dates back to the colonial days, when
Charles II. was king OF England and
his brother, afterward James H., was
duke of York. James received a per-
centage on all customs receipts in
America, and was also lord high adj
miral Of the English navy. He had
very little confidence in the men whom
his brothers selected as collectors OF
customs in this country, and in order
to protect his own interests he insisted
on appointing a man whose duty it
would be to approve every permit is
sued by the collector before it would
be valid. AS lord high admiral he
naturally selected these men from his
own officers and placed naval officer
in every custom house in the British
provinces in America. Both the Office
and the duties remain practically I'M
changed to this day, and the "naval
officer" who is merely an auditor,
must still countersign all permits

from the Base Line road, q short

a. house which is not a Trappist
monastery, but inside OF which, never

been allowed to set foot, says the
Portland Oregonian. The proprietor
is a stout solid-looking man, prob
ably about forty years of age, who
lives alone. The house is neat

and everything around it is IN good
order, but it has lonely, deserted
look withal. It is not known what
this occupants grudge against woman
kind is, but it is evidently deep
seated one, and it is reported that
the property has been willed to man
on condition that he never allows a
woman to come on the place, and in
case he does it is to escheat to the
state. The neighbors look askance
at the place when they 60 by, and

BLINDNESS IN HORSES

Entertaining Facts and Theories
About Their Singular Perceptive
Powers.
The way in which blind horses go
about without getting into more diff
culties than they ordinarily do is very
remarkable. They rarely if ever hit
their heads against fence or stone
wall. They will side off when they
come near one A writer in a London
journal says:
ut appears from careful observa-
ton have made that it is neither
shade nor shelter that warns them OF
the danger. On an absolutely sunless
and MINDLESS day their behavior is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for when
driving them they will poke their
heads downward in search of water
fifty yards before they come to a.
stream crossing the roadway. 1t can
not be an abnormally developed sense
of hearing which leads them to do this,
for they will act alike though the wa
ter be a stagnant pool.
"Men who have been blind for any
length OF time develop somewhat SINH
lar instincts to blind horses. Some
one says that none of the five senses
has anything to do with this singular
perceptive power, but that the impress
sions are made on the skin of the face
and by it transmitted to the brain,
and this 'unrecognized sense he calls
facial perception But possibly this
perceptive power may have it's origin
in such conditions as prevail in somn-
ambulism or in the hypnotic state. Are
all such phenomena in man and horse
as have mentioned to be accounted
for by 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 ad-
vent of summer and so reverse the
order which is the invariable rule in
the case Of horses possessed OF perfect
vision?"

The PainStaking French Soldier.

orders to allow no one to pass with
out first depositing his walking stick.
A gentleman came with his hands in
his pocket. The soldier, taking him
by the arm said: "Citizen where is
your stick?" II have no st1ck!"
"Then you will have to go back and
get one before l can allow you to
pass" AS this man read his orders,
the intention was that, as a prelimin-

body was to deposit a stick-not that
those who had stick should not be
allowed to carry it with them into the
gallery.

An vnasswerabIe Reso,t.

Hon. J. W. Dougherty, who ws one of the Ysvapai county deleg ation in the
 last legislature, and who was rather outspoken in his views agalnst female suffrage, ran against snag yesterday in the personal of Mrs. Churchill, editor and proprietor of the Denver Queen Bee, who is now doing Prescott in the interests of that strong-minded female suffrage journal. When asked to sub. scribe for the Bee, Mir. Dougherty in reply intimated that he had never seen newspaper conducted entirely by women that had ever amounted to much. Mrs. Churchill replied rather warmly to the assertion, and said that whatever good had been accomplished in the world was solely due to the eff forts and influence of it's women. Mir. Dougherty admitted that to great ex- tent it was true, but said that the women had never accomplished any. thing without the help of the men, and challenged Mrs. Churchill to state 8 single instance whereby this could be contradicted, to which the lady replied :: "Well. can tell you one thing that the nasty wretches had nothing to do with, and that was the birth of Our Savior" It is needless to say that the argument was a clincher that Mir. Doug herty didn't try to refute.

CROOKS AT WORK.
ihey Make an Unsuccessful At tempt to Blow Open the
 Depot Safe.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
 last night to blow open the safe in Super
 intendent W. B. Jones's office at the Prescott depot. Entrance was effected through window on the east side oI the building, by means of a two-inch chisel with which the window was pried
 open, the lock on top being broken of.
 Two men seemed to have been engaged
 m the job, from indications found.
 They left the two-inch ehisel used in
 raising the window, brace. two small
 piles of cigar ashes, few candle grease
 spots on the carpet, charred spot in
 the base board of the office, near which they had placed their lighted candle while at work, and two small holes which they had drilled into the safe. as
 the only clue to their identity-insufR- cient, unless others are found, to enable the officers to make an arrest. The face ot the safe contained seven different scratches where they had made unsuc- cessful attempts to start their drill. Sheriff Lowry and his deputy, Ben Rybon, Chief of Police Andrews, and Mulyehon made thorough investigation of the premises, but be- yond the above mentioned articles and could find nothing to indi- saie who had attempted the job. tue men were novices in the business and gave up in disgust, or they were frightened away while at work, isnot known.
