CRAZY HORSES.

Was the Kicking Mare This Writer De-
scribes Insane?
Insanity among animals is not COM
mon and we seldom hear anything said
about it; but there is not much doubt
that the minds of animals, like the minds
of human beings, become deranged.
That they have minds, and some of them
minds superior to those of some men, no
person who is well acquainted with them
will dispute.
I once bought a span of 3-year-old
colts, well matched Except as to ~color),
well broken and very kind and pleasant
tn, work. They were the best horse team
fofworking in the woods getting out
logs lever saw.
Up to she age of 10 years they had no
vices, but then one of them "a sorrel
mare), when blowing in the spring of the
year, commenced Kicking while turning
at the corners, although the whifhetrees
were not allowed to hit her heels. She
did so without any provocation.
We managed to use her until the
spring work was done and we COM
menced haying. AS I did all the now
ing myself, I knew exactly how she was
handled and how she behaved on the
machine. The mower was an easy cut
ting one, the knives were sharp, the
grass stood up we'll and the meadow was
smooth. In a short time after they were
hitched up she commenced threatening
to kick every time they turned at the
ends. 1t was not long before she would
1OoGo AM riroro,,o 1y;,1, -;4l, Ia4l~ FL
and then 60 on we'll enough to the next
turn, when the kick would be repeated.
She carried her ears back all the time,
her eyes seemed to project farther out
of her head, they were kept wide open,
and there was a glare of fierceness in
them which I had never observed before,
At length, without any p~rovocation
whatever, she commenced kicking with
great fury and kept it up without inter-
mission until she had broken the double
whifietree and one of the single ones,
and only stopped from exhaustion of
strength.
As she had never kicked on a wagon
we commenced drawing in hay with
her in the afternoon, and she behaved
very well for a load or two, until we
came near the place where she had
kicked on the machine in the forenoon,
and then she kicked with terrific vio-
lence for four or five minutes until she
had kicked the whifletree from the
wagon, and the breeching from her
harness, and then, when her strength
was exhausted, she threw herself down
over the tongue of the wagon next to
the near horse and laid with her feet
sticking up over it as if dead.
I sold her to a man who knew her
character, and she was taken so far
away that I never heard from her after
ward. From the great change that
suddenly took place in her disposition
at an age when horses principles and
habits are supposed to be fixed, 1 have
no doubt that she was insane, with lucid
intervals.
The famous English horse Crusader,
which John S. Rarey subdued, was
probably insane. He yielded to Rarey's
superior knowledge and power, as a
mailman yields to his strong keeper, but
he could not be safely handled by others.

WIVES or THE cHAIRMEN.

Two Political leaders VINO Are Fortu-

In these days the wives of prominent
politicians are almost as much public char
acters as their husbands. So far from any
surprise being expressed at their active aid
of their husbands, as formerly, there is sur
prise nowadays if they do not help, and a
statesman whose wife is not either .

PLATFORM,

like estimating the amount of milk
given by a COW during the year. A
good pair Of scales in either case will
quickly show the weakness of the
"guess' system.
Recently laws have been passed in
England making the scales the legal re-
corder of live stock weight. AS a re-
suit, manufacturers have devised many
new patterns of scales for weighing ami
mails. The illustration shows one D
lar style, largely advertised in English
papers. The English call it a "weigh-
bridge" just as they call an elevator a
Gift" The animal is driven into the
cage, where it cannot step off the weigh
ing platform. At some public places
these "weighbridges" are fitted with a
penny-in-the-slot fixture. The farmer
drives his steer or sheep on the scales,
drops his penny in the hole, and out
comes a tag with the weight printed on
it and certified to for correctness

POLITICS.

With regard to politics the a TIL
tude OF our Church ia strenuously
nOn-partisan aud non-sectional. 1t
Acknowledges no allegiance to any
political creed or ASSOCIATION. 1t
urges ali its members who have the
right to vote to discharge that duty,
but it leaves every voter absolutely
free from eccles,astical Interference
to determine for himself for whom
his ballot shall be cast. The right
of suff age, or franchise, VIC regard
as great and responsible trust,
which should in oil clses-occlesl-
astical and civil-bo exercised con
scientiouly, but in absolute personal
freedom. When moral issues arc
before the public aur people are in
variably found on the side of the
highest standard but oven then
they choose their own party aflilia-
tions, and refuse to be dictated to
as to the matter Of their vote.
The above from the New York
Christian Advocate shows the atti-
tude Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.

This statement Of the gentlemen
IL it mean anything, means that
the above named members Of the
Executive Committee are inefficient
and that the subcommittee select
ed and appointed are not true re-
preventative men, but / opine that
some OF them ct least and also some
Of the Executive Committee were
voting for Democratic principles
whom our friend yet unborn was
voting whigism, or for John j. Js-
cob for governor against the regu-
lar democratic nominee.
AZ to the silver resolutions pass
cd at the late mass meeting I can
only say they are in harmony with
the State platform Of 1890, and
those who oppose it are simply in
opposition 10 tho platform upon
which the party swept the State in
that year and put solid silver del
egation into Congress. Deny it if
you can. Deny it il you dare.
A strong spirit of b:otherly love
our friend must possess after deliv-
ering himself OF almost n column
and a half Of spleen, simply because
he is neither delegate nor Cub
committeeman. Poor fellow, 20

will and GREAT BIG ability for the
success and triumph Of democratic
principles.
