AS Bayard Taylor did.

The Schliemann method of acquiring
a language is we'll worth mentioning.
It consisted simply in reading great
dead aloud without making translar
ton, taking lesson every day under
the constant supervision of teacher,
learning this by heart and repeating IN
the next lesson what was corrected on
the previous day. It was his habit to
learn at least two languages year.
The Russian he studied without teach
er, because none were to be had, while
he lived in Amsterdam, and he paid a
Jew four francs week to hear his com
positions in Russian, although the fellow
did not understand one word.
The doctor was housed on the third
floor, but as the ceilings were made of
wood his recita5ions were plainly to be
heard on the first floor, and his fellow
dodgers were SO annoyed by the racket
that they caused him to be turned out
of the house. As is well known, he was
obliged to give up his grocer's ap-
premiership on account of having
ruptured blood vessel in lifting
hogshead. The perfect muscular de-
velopment and fine health with which
he was afterward favored he attributed
to the exercise of his lungs by constant

With heavens own lilies nmy bosom now.
And, white and radiant, let my kisses fau

IF my low cries should reach you from the sky,
With means for touches of the hngly palm
Say! would you know how wholly true am I
That kneel beside thee now so still and calm2
Or, if before you I should stand today
Where seraphims are standing fair and sweet,
And with my breath upon your eyelids say.

What time walked without your would you

The secret of my secret soul Alright
As he has read, who gladly giveth need

An intelligent FIorida Mule,

Jupiter can boast of the most intelli-
gent mule on record His muleship is
Free, white (gray) and 81 years old.
Every night this much admired animal
proceeds to the life saving station. 1t
is customary for the man on watch to
discharge his coston signal "a red Light
when vessels come too near the beach.
Now his muleship has caught ON" to
what this signal means. So every
night at 8 o'clock the sailors four legged
friend proceeds to walk the beach, and
if vessel comes too near the shore his
muleship assumes the attitude of a
stubborn bull, when trying to be led
by the horns, but, instead Of a coston
signal, he sends forth a neigh that
makes night hideous. Port or star
board your helm" is the order on the
ship, and away sail the jolly tars in
perfect safety, and with grateful
heart to the four legged patrolman.-

A Good Horse Story.

During the Belgian maneuvers regi-
ment of lancers was to attack village
and drive two companies Of hussars
away from it, then pursue them to the
next town. A number Of high military
officers witnessed these maneuvers,
among them an Austrian colonel. As
one Of the hussars passed him the gal
Looping horse suddenly halted and
squared up to the coloners horse, nor
could the rider stir him foot. Quickly
deciding, the hussar addressed the colo
mel: "Comrade, help me fly! My
horse won't stir without yours" The
colonel laughed, and put his horse on a
run with him, and thus both ndera
reached the town before the pursuing
lancers could capture Them All in
maneuver. -Rxchange,

A Hairless Horse.

Now and then a very curious speci-
men is found among the desert horses
of Australia. The oldest of these that
I ever saw was huge, ungainly beast
without hair upon it. It was cut out
of a wild herd and roped in by sta
ton hand, who sold it for q plug of to-
bacco to some man riding along the
road past the homestead The latter
tanned the hairless horse, taught it a
few commonplace tricks, and showed it
all over the colonies He was said to
have taken 800, 900, though he spent
it as fast as he got it. I saw the ami
NAL many times. 1t was rather well
shaped when it filed out, and having
no name, but high neck and crest, it
had something of the appearance OF
horses IN antique sculptures or bronzes.
Its skin was perfectly smooth and shiny
and a dark notified brown In color,
and the poor thing seemed very intelli-
gent and ocile.-Forest and Stream.

ing his coffee, he took FIVE cent piece

A supreme Court Decision.

ST. PAUL, March s.-The supreme
court has handed down an important de-
cision regarding usury. It is held that
the agent loaning money for non-resi-
dent principal is held responsible for all
commissions and rates of interest
charged. This decision places the resi-
dent agent in the position Of principal
and will necessarily tighten the burdens
of those struggling to pay off their chat
tel mortgages as the charging of an ex-
orbitant commission may be construed
to be usurious.

Why Hair Turns Gray.

The hair retains its natural shade up
to middle life if nothing interferes with
its growth, and after that period it be-
gins to lose its color. Graying after
that time cannot be checked, and no
medicines should be taken to check the
process. If before this period itchanges
it is probably due to some local or gen.
eral cause that should be removed. II
the hair becomes gray in places and
not in others it is due to the disturb
ance of nutrition, and the best thing il
to get the blood to circulate there moro
freely. The only advice that can be
given in premature CRAVING Of the hal.
is to get the scalp into as healthy a con-
dition as possible, and see to it that the
general system is good. -YankeeR Blade.

Blair was appointed to this position, but
he has told President Harrison, it is
