having low windows, situated on branch

vile, in what was then known as the
Ridgeway district, when one day ! heard
the deep toned baying of hounds up the
mountain side all the forenoon, and as
was about to dismiss school for noon re-
cess noticed large deer looking in at
one Of the windows, with tongue pro-
truding, smoking sides heaving and evil
IDENTIFY very tired. School was out for
noon at once, and on a doublequick
started after the deer, keeping about two
rods behind him until we had run some
twenty-five rods to the creek, which was
frozen over and had light fall of snow
on the ice.
AS the deer struck the ice with bound
he broke In and fell, and before he could
get up or extricate himself from his
muddy and icy environment l was on
top of him having a hard tussel to hold
him until the schooIboys came up, when
one of them, as directed, took my pen
knife from my pocket, opened it and
gave it to me, and with it very soon
opened the veins in the deer's neck and
had no further trouble in holding him
down, having bied him to death with a
small penknife. The hounds came up at
the finish, rendering assistance, but were
kept at bay by the boys while I dressed
the deer, kept the hide, distributed the
venison among the pupils, and on the
next morning had delicious venison steak
for my breakfast.-Cor. Buffalo Courier.

Can IIorscs COnmunlcate?

That cattle and horses can commune
cate intelligence to each other, and are
endowed with a certain amount of
reasoning faculty, the following facts
are pretty conclusive proof: once pur-
chased a station in Australia ON which
large number of cattle and horses had
gone wild. To get the cattle in fenced
the permanent water "a distance Of
twenty miles,, leaving traps at intervals.
At first this answered all right, but
soon the cattle became exceedingly eau
tous about entering the traps, waiting
outside for two or three nights before
going in, and if they could smell a man
or his tracks, not going in at all. A
mob would come to the trap gate, and
one would go in and drink and come
out, and then another would do the
same, and so on till all had watercd.
They had evidently arrived at the con-
clusion that would not catch one and
brighten all the others away.
To get in the wild horses, 600 of which
were running on large plain about
10000 acres), erected stock yard with
a gradually widening lane in hollow
where it could not easily be seen, and
by stationing horsemen at intervals on
the plain galloped the wild horses in.
My first hunt (Which lasted for some
days. was successful, the wild horses
heading toward the mouth of the lane
without much difficulty, but of course
some escaped by charging back at the
stock yard gate and in other ways. My
second hunt, about month later, was a
failure; every mob of horses on the
plain seemed to know where the yard
was and would not head that way. This
seems to show that the horses that es-
capped from the first hunt told all the
others where the stock yard was.-Cor.
London Spectator.

Origin of the Piano.

The pianoforte was invented by Bar
tolommeo Cristofori, a harpsichord
maker of Padua, Italy, who exhibited
four instruments in 1909. The honor
was formerly claimed by Marius, a
French maker, who produced piano in
171B, while German writers maintained
that Schroeder, of Dresden, was the in
itiator of the instrument. The earliest
date ascribed to the latter's achievement,
however, is I'LL. During the present
century, however, an Italian document
was discovered, written by Marchese
Scipione Maffei, a,Florentine scholar, in
iii, which testifies that Bartolommeo
Cristofori, of that city, exhibited four
pianos in 1909, which statement was
originally published in The Giornale in
that year, accompanied by diagram Of
CristoforTs action principle, employing
hammers, which constituted the chief
difference between the harpsichord and
the piano.
In Mafei's writings Cristofori's name
is given as "Cristofali," but this is
proved to be an error, because inscrip-
lions upon existing pianofortes give the
name as s4Cristofori. Father Wood, an
English monk, living at Rome, is also
said to have made pianoforte similar
to Cristefori's in I'LL, which he exhib-
tied in England. where it attracted
much notice.
Cristofori did;not remain idle after in
Producing his first instrument. He be-
came prominently known as maker,
but die d in 1871, comparatively poor

seems to separate the old from the new,
though we must have lived in Scotland
to know how very much New Years day
may mean.
In that country it is Christmas day
and all the saints days rolled into one.
Everybody sits up till - o'clock to "see

Sin Your Milk Slowly.

Many people complain that they can,
not drink milk without being distressed
by it. The reason is that they drink it
too fast. If glass of milk is swallowed
hastily it enters the stomach, and then
forms in one solid, curdled mass difficult
of digestion. At least four minutes
should be occupied in drinking glass of
milk, so that in reaching the stomach it
will be so distributed that when coagu-
lated, as it must be by the gastric juice,
instead. of being in one hard, condensed
mass, twill be more in the form of
sponge.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Cumbered About Much Serving.

Cumbered About Much Serving.
Christ never asks of us such busy labor
As leaves no time for resting at his feet;
The waiting attitude of expectation
He Ofttlmes counts a service most complete.
He sometimes wants our ear, our rapt attention,
That he some sweetest secret may impart;
TITS always In the time of deereSt silence
That heart finds deepest fellowship with heart.
We sometimes wonder why our Lord doth place us
Within sphere narrow. so obscure,
That nothing we call work can find an entrance;
There's only room to suifer-to endure.
Well, God loves patience. Souls that dwell in
Stiffness
Doing the little things or resting quite,
May just as perfectly fulfil their mission,
Be just as useful in the Fathers sight,
As they who grapple with some giant evil,
Clearing path that every eye may see:
Our Saviour cares for cheerful acquencence
Rather than for a busy ministry.
And yet he does love service where tits given
BY grateful love that clothes itself IN deed,
But work that's done beneath the Scourge OF duty,
Be sure to such he gives but little heed.
Then seek to please him, whatso'er he bids thee
Whether to do, to suffer, TO lie still;
Twill matter little by what path he leads us
If in it all W. seek to do his will.
