Docile Persian Horses.

Persian horses are to be admired and
liked. Their beauty is a source Of con-
slant enjoyment, and they are almost in
yariably gentle and docile. 1t is in vain to
form any resolution against making q pet
of one of them.
My new acquisition. Boy insists On
being petted, and his enticing ways are If

of my tent with rope long enough to give
him considerable liberty. and he took al
vantage Of it the very first day to come into
the tent and make it apparent that he
wanted me to divide melon with him.
Grapes were his preference, then came
cucumbers, bread and biscuits. Finally
he drank milk out Of a soup plate.
He comes up to LIE and puts down his
head to have his ears rubbed, and if / do
not attend to him at once, or if | cease at
tending to him, he gives me Z gentle bur
admonitory thump.

my chair and waits with wonderful pa

to remind me that he is there.

makes. He does not know how 70 FIGHT, or

He comes when / call him, stops when

PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.

Life holds no woe for me. know full wen,
However evil things may seem TO me today,
Some future Joy is certain to d!spel
The clouds that lower darkly DER my way.
And | have noted that one taste of bliss,
Fen though It's bat taste, hath Joyous need
To compensate for all that goes amiss,
On which a soul in sorrow long may feed.
No night e'er was whose darkness did not fade,
No storm e'er ragged whose course was not
soon run,
And so my soul, by troubles undismayed,
Doth simply wais the coming of the sun.

Kansas will befriend Wellington, Har-

the cyclone. Kansas, which in her own
youth and comparative poverty remem-
bered Chicago, and when older and
richer grown contributed munificeEtly
for the relief of the Ohio river food suf-

be done at once and well; the wheel will
soon turn to the pressure OF the strong

"MAGNErIsM' REDUCED TO FIGURES

From the New York Evening Post
1t is obvious that good many Repub-
licans are very tired OF the claim that
Harrison should not be nominated be-
cause he is ''cold," and that Blaine
should be because he is magnetic" The
Philadelphia Bulletin points out that
every candidate who has been NOM
mated for the presidency during the
past fifty years on the assumption that
his personal magnetism was Irresistible
CLAY among the old Wings, Douglas
and Mcclellan among the Democrats,
and Fremont and Blaine among the Re
publicans-has invariably met defeat.
In no other case was the humbug Of
magnetism" SO thoroughly exposed as
in Blaine's. Take these figures showing
the way he ran i'll Massachusetts, as
compared with Hayes and Harrison,
two cold candidates:
Garneld. ............- 100 40
HARRISON. ......-...-.....-. ..Ico,o53
Although the POPULATION of Massachu-
sets had increased nearly 90 per cent.
between 1876 and 1884, Blaine fell 3, 339
votes behind the record of ''poor Hayes"
as he used to be called And then, to
cap the climax, as soon as the party
substituted GOODNESS for magnetism its
vote leaped up at a bound more than
81, 600.

sight"
