A NEW HORSE TEST.

Yawning a Sign of Equine Arnia.
biiity.
There are different methods of iudg-
ing of the temper of horses, but one OF
the most unique was that used by an
old lady who was fond of buying them
and who was withal of eccentric turn
of mind. 1t was one OF the old lady's
peculiarities that she did not like to
come downstairs, and for months to-
gether she was in the habit of living
entirely upon the second floor of a
large, old-fashioned country house
where she dwelt, As horses could not
well be brought to the second story,
and as size would insist in going on
with her purcha ses. her custom was to
have the animals paraded up and down
in the garden walks under her window,
a proceeding which so damaged the
walks that the gardener was in a con-
slant state of fury. 1t was difficult to
see just how much the old lady could
tell from her observations from aloft,
and the poor bargains which she made
proved that her method, whatever it
was, was not to be depended upon.
Once when she had bought a horse so
vicious that it kicked its stall to pieces
and nearly murdered its groom, her
niece had the boldness to demonstrate
aunt Sarah" she said, you can't
tell by just looking out of the window
if a horse is vicious, and it isn't safe to
GO on in this way"
you let me attend to my own bust
ness" the old lady replied with much
asperity. ''That horse was all right.
The groom must have done something
to make him wild. | know that the
horse was gentle, for l saw him yawn
before | bought him, and it stands to
reason that vicious horse would not
yawn. Boston Courier.

Mr.. FiNNEGAN's POTATOES.


They Are Still Trying in the United States
Court to Find Out Whether He Kept
the Canadian and Yankee Tubers sepa-
arated.
The case of the United States against
Mr.. Patrick Finnegan was continued all
day in the United States District Court
yesterday, before Judge Webb. Mr.
Finnegan is a wealthy Aroostook farmer,
whose farm is conveniently situated on
in Maine and part in New Brunswick.
All his buildings are in Maine, except
one barn, about two feet of which is IN
Canada. 1t is charged that Mr.. Finne-
gan has been buying man potatoes IN
Canada, and that subsequently they
went to market out of the American
doors of the barn, without the payment
of duty. The defence began yesterday
afternoon, and Mr.. Finnegan and Mr.. P.
Shepherd, neighboring farmer, testi-
fed that in all transactions in potatoes
the boundary line had always been re-
igiously observed as the mark over
which no Canadian potato should go.
Mr.. Finnegan admitted that he had
bought potatoes in Canada, but it had
been for use as seed on those acres lying
in New Brunswick and not for sale at a
big profit ON the Maine side. The coun-
sci are, as already announced, District
Attorney Dyer for the government, and
Benjamin, Thompson, Esq, for the de-
fence. The case is yet unfinished.
In addition to the Finnegan case, three
men who have been selling liquor with
out United States tax receipt, were
brought up for sentence. Joseph Ham
ilton got 500 fine and 80 days in jail,
Charles Miehaud $50 fine. and Rufus
Cram pleaded nolo contendere, and his
case was continued for sentence.

leading people from several comic opera

that the message sounded odd. She
said, however, that it was 'alla rat,
and sent it to DR.. x. around the corner
in Lexington avenue. That worthy
young physician glanced at the note, and
thinking that it opened the way to fame
for him informed the board Of health
that he had discovered an outbreak of
cholera in an up town Italian boarding
house. He telephoned the same mes
sage to several newspaper men of his
acquaintance.
Sin less than twenty minutes a squad
of burly policemen appeared in front of
the house, followed by the doctor, six re-
porters and several officers Of the board
of health, whose instincts had been
wrought up to a white heat by the mes
sage. Nine. S. answered the incessant
ringing of the door bell in person.
She was attired in becoming morning
gown, and being large and remarkably
handsome woman, presented dra-
matte appearance as she explained the
situation: Gentleman, who eata brlk-
