OF their sort in the whole world.
There is not a horse in thsss stalls that is
not a lifo saver. If the Humane society
were to bestow its medals upon four-footed
as wolf as two-footed heroes these horses
would be spangled with decorations.
During a recent visit to the stables
Roundsman John McKenna, the head of
tho mounted force, told me something of
how these horses are trained, and also illus
trated some points in the process for an
artist who was with me.
Several of tho two dozen horses have
been with the force ever since runaway
stopping was made q part of the police
duty. OF these John Wilson's "Dick'' il

and took the second prize at the Madison

probably saved more lives than any half

There are eight new horses added to the
force every year upon an average. Or these,
four are finally rejected. They ate cow

ton fund, the vicar, the Rev. T. Bun
ston, describes as follows the condition
of the house of worship in that PARISH
when took over the incumbency four
years ago | found the porch falling
away from the nave, and holes in the
roof letting in the rain; the owls and
other birds made it their home and flew
about the church at all times. The
tower was covered with a green slime.
There was no provision for Sunday
school work, and the children attended
a Nonconformist place of worship
Feast days have never been recognized
and in fact everything was fast going
to ruin"
There has been nothing to equal this,
says The Pail Mall Budget, since the an
cient prophet wrote: "And thorns shall
come up in her palaces, nettles and
brambles in the fortresses thereof; and
it shall be an habitation of dragons and
a court for owls. The wild beasts of the
desert shall also meet with the wild
beasts of the island, and the satyr shall
cry to his fellow; the screech owl also
shall rest there and find for herself a
place of rest"

hot weather, beginning on June 10, and

light showers only till the 18th and 10th,

Ganges swoons rippeless in the fierce midday
Drenched in the white-hot suns acutest urea
Winding in calm its turgid, indolent way
Around Benares and its thousand spires
The monstrous crocodiles on either bank
Loll in the sheen and watch the ichneumons
creep,
And mid the rushes and the tall grass RANK
OF fecal pools the huge flamingoes sleep.
No sound, no stir no pleasant dip Of oars,
No sail to charm the scene. no cloud OF
white;
Naught but the silence Of the scorching shorea
Naught but the wilderness of burning light.
Master and slave have sought the shadeless
town,
The iris fish hide In the alga dense,
With deadly beat the hell sun poureth down
Binding a continent in its insolence-
While DER the slumbering waste of heat and

Where nothing human moves or sways or
speaks.
Far in the fertile distance, mute and grand
Rise the great Himalayas' icy peaks.

The Great Bank of England swindle.

The Great Bank of England SwindIe.
Four Americans, named George and
Austin Bidwell, George Mcdonald and
Edward Hills, contrived to defraud the
Bank of England of nearly 81, 000, 900
They accomplished their swindle by tax
ing advantage of a custom of the bank
which had grown up through the gen
eral honesty of business men and meth
DDS in England The bank was accus-
toned to receive bills of exchange in
deposit on account, without verifying
their signatures or the acceptances
Probably until the Bidwells began to
experiment on them the bank author
ties never had had such paper offered
them otherwise than in good faith.
These men contrived by pretense and
falsehood to secure the necessary intro
duction to the bank officers, and opened
an account with them under an assumed
name. They then had several hundred
bills of exchange printed on counterfeit
plates and flooded the Bank of England
with these bills from all over the world
all signed and accepted with apparent
regularity The bank unhesitatingly
cashed these and put the proceeds to the
credit of the swindlers, who drew out
the money in ostensible business trans
actions in such a way as to excite no
suspicion on the part of the bank Of
icials.
At last the rascals betrayed themselves
by neglecting to date the acceptance of
two of the fraudulent bills. The bank,
sending these to the acceptors to have
the omission supplied, discovered the
fraud at once After an exciting chase
by detectives all the men were arrested
then tried and convicted, and all sen
fenced to prison for life. In 1888 George
Bidwell was pardoned and allowed to
return to the United States. The others
are still in prison. Letter.

Northern Railway Company, for dam
ages for trespass on 100 acres of valua-
bic land just south of the city, Judge
Mcbride, in the superior court, today

Judgment for $500. This suit was be-
gun On account of the beginning of
construction of the road before the
right-of-way had been obtained. The
railroad company afterwards obtained
the right-of-way by condemnation, and
Judge McBride's ruling establishes a

The New England Almanac and
Farmers Friend" has been issued an
nually since 1772, and always by a Da-
boil. With very few exceptions the
calculations have been made in the same
house, which is still in good repair and
occupied by David A. Daboll, grandson
of the Nathan Daboll who founded the
annual almanac.
New England is claimed by many as
the native place of the comic almanac,
for some folks reckon Ben Franklin's
poor Richard" publication in that class,
and for two generations the New Eng
land almanac and the Bible furnished
the bulk of the average Yankee farm
er's reading. Faith in the weather pre-
dictions was so strong that thousands of
farmers regulated their work thereby,
and about sixty years ago this faith was
confirmed in very remarkable man
ner. BY mistake snow was predicted
for July 4. There was general
| laugh, but the snow came-not much,
of course, but enough to excite general
amazement, and thereafter Daboll's pre-
dictions were gospel.
Nathan Daboll worked out the tables
and predictions and issued the first al
manac in 1772. He was professor of
mathematics at Plainfield academy and
author of the famous old "Daboll's Arith-
metic." In 1918 his son, Nathan, took
up the work and continued it till 1854,
when one of his six sons, David A, sue
ceeded him. They have always pur-
sued the same system. They have a
journal of the weather for two or three
generations past and table Of conjunc-
lions of sun, moon and planets. When
ever a certain conjunction has been

It Is by the thumb the miller tests the
