In the decline of the great English
Statesman, Edmund Burke, when he
WAS living on lis farm at Beacons-
field, the rumOF went up to London
that he had gone mad. A friend, a
man of influence and rank, hsstened
to BeacOnsfield to learn the truth.
From Mr.. Burke he received this pa

Mr.. Burke's only child, beloved
son, bad long before died, leaving q
favorite horse which was kept in the
park.
Mr.. Burke in his mor0iDg walks
would often stop aud caress this ia
Vorite animal. On one occasion he
perceived the horse at q distance, and
noticed in turn that he was recog-
nIzed by the horse.
The animal drew nearer and nearer
to Mr.. Burke, stopped, eyed him with
q pleading look OF recognition, which
said as plainly as words could have
said, "I have lost him too, and then
the poor dumb' brute deliberately laid
his head on Burke's bosom.
Struck blythe similarity of occur

4 New Wow Of the Seq Question.

Pages have been written and hum
dreds of theories set forth by horse
men about "COntrolling Sex at Will"
some breeders think they have dis
covered the infallible method. Not
so. This is one of che things which
the Almighty Ia His great wisdom
has willed that the genius OF mAn
should not comprehend nor control.
It is physical mystery which, since
the days OF Aristotle, has been a con-
slant question incapable of solution.
This is something which the great
Creator keeps to himself If human
ingenuity could fathom this great
mystery human knowledge WOul1
eqGaI the divine, and the result
would be inevitable disaster to the
human a. well as the animal kind.
The comparatively equal balancing
of the sez,es which, in itself, is trik-
ing evidence OF the existence of an
all-wise and Overruling power, would
be destroyed. In, Oriental countries,
at least, females would predominant

matter is beyond human knoWledg-,

STRANGE SUN SPOIL
Scientists viii Eagerly Look for Any
Terrestrial Effect.

CHICAGO, July 18.-The active sun
spot il high southern photographic lati-
tude, which crossed the suns central
meridian on July Is, was the seat Fri
day Of remarkable phenomenon. A
photograph taken with the spectre
heliograph of the Kenwood observatory
at II o'clock July 10, showed nothing re-
markable i'll the foculP around the spot.
a photograph taken about 11:13 (cen-
tral tiIne) showed, however. an intensely
bright hook shaped form extending
across the bridge in the spot. In twenty
seven minutes later the brilliant mass
had become very complex in form and
at 1884 it had practically disappeared.
This solar phenomenon is a very excep-
tOnal one, and possesses considerable
scie attic interest, centering chiefly in

POwpERLYs STAND.

Treason.

He Claims That PinkertOn is Guilty of
Treason.
SCRANTON, Pa, July 1S. - General
Master Workman Powderly has ad-
dressed a letter to President Harrison
and another to Governor Pattison call
ing attention to the fact that the laws
of the United States and of Pennsyl-
vania have been violated by the inva-
sion of the Pinkertons on July 6. He
claims that the Pinkertons fired first.
Mr.. POwderly says that whoever usurped
the functions of the commander-in-chief
of the army of the United States in Or
dering these men into Pennsylvania is
guilty of treason, and should be pun
ished ACCORDINGLY, and he therefore asks
for an investigation.
Mr.. POwderly asserts the constitution
al right of the wOrkmen at Homestead
to defend themselves against the unau-
thOriZed invasion of armed men. Treason
to the state, he maintains, has been com
mitted by Mr.. Frick and Robert Pinker-
ton, who are alone responsible for bring
ing in armed men, and he asks that the
punishment fixed by the law be meted
out to the transgressors. Another point
of A1r. POwderly's is that as the armed
men came altogether from outside the
state, and as such could not hold office,
they could not be sworn in as deputies.

well-known produce dealer il the market
who brings most of his goods from Can

wagon with eggs and in the center put
a quantity of opium. The bottom layer
of the egg crates was usually filed With
