sPolygIOt COnyerSStion-
There Is nothing that horses are
30 fond Of as being talked to. = said q
elubman to a reporter the other day
one who knows all about the ami
mails he was discussing. $50 wei
known Is this that In the Austrian
cavalry and IN several other armies
Of Europe the soldiers have stvict
orders never 70 enter the stalls with
out speaking a few words 10 the
NAYS. l had often endeavOred to
impress this fact upon my cOlored
groom, a very bright and unusually
intelligent lad, who, whenever 1 told
him 20 talk to my horses, would in
varisbly laugh sheepishly, convinced
that / was making fun Of him
The other evening, after taking
one Of our friends to the station, he
was driving home leisurely in a
rather m.-low mood, when suddenly
my recommendation on the subject
Of talking TO the horses occurred TO
him, and without thinking what he
was doing he addressed the pony he
was driving as follows:
"we1l, Pompey, old boy, do you
remember the name Of the man "a
used to own you in TexasF
II do not know whether the word
Texas aroused memories In the
breast of the pony, but the fact re-
mains that he stopped short, turned
his head round and whinnied at
Dawson-that Is the lads nams.
"Balaam was certainly not more
astonished when his donkey ad-
dressed him than was Dawson, who,
with q cry Of Jee-rusaleml Great
Scott Hey, what's the matter with
you, Pompey; are you crazyT jumped
out Of tie carriage and ran to the
pony's head, convinced that either
he himself or the hdrss had become
bewitched.
80 startled was he by the horses
utterance that it was quite two or
three minutes before he could re-
cover his equanimity sufficiently to
mount the box once more and TO re-
sumo his drive home-now talking
all the way with the pony, who ever
and again whinnied in reply.
"Since then my horses and this
particular attendant have become in
tnitely better friends, and the groom
is delighted TO have found at least
two creatures who appreciate his
jokes.
While on this subject, he went
on, 'let me give you an infallible
cure for a baking horse. which,
moreover, will have the advantage
of diminishing much of the beating
and other kinds of cruelty to which
the animals are subjected by people
ignorant of the true character of
this kind of equine hysteria.
There is nothing to do save to
take up handful of ashes or dust,
in preference ashes, and opening the
horses mouth wide put the ashes
as far back as possible down his
throat.
''The horse viii, in his endeayor to
get rid Of the foreign substance, for
get all about baking and will, with
out thinking of it, go forward with
out the slightest whipping or other
method of forcible persuasion. -

Yeueed In . sawer pipe.

Strung along the corner of Cherry
street are number of clay sewer pipes.
The pieces are 3 feet long and 10 inches
in diameter About dusk a crowd of
children, among them Mamie Kaylor,
daughter of Councilman Kaylor of the
Fourth ward, were amusing themselves
scampering over the pipes. This sport
grew tame, and some one of them thought
there was more excitement in playing
'shide and seek" Little Mamie Kaylor,
like the other children, would crawl Into
the pipes and hide. After the game had
proceeded for some time it was noticed
by the other children that Mamie was
missing. While they were searching for
her they heard muiiled screams from the
interior of one of the sections of pipe.
Running to it, Mamie was discovered
wedged in. In crawling in she had
doubled leg, and the knee joint and foot
became wedged. The other children tried
to release the girl by pulling, but their
efforts only added to the pain she was
enduring as well as to tighten the hold
of the pipe.
Some men were attracted by the cries
and the efforts Of the children to release
Mamie. They carried the pipe into the
saloon Of John Dickreader. Here they
tilted the heavy pipe and tried to shake
out the little one, but without success.
The child was fast becoming faint from
pain and fright, and the men decided to
break the crock. This was delicate job,
for q chance blow might break the child's
leg or do more serious damage. 1t was
determined to chip the clay pipe, begin
ming at the end where Mamie's feet were.
With mallet the chipping process be-
gan, when suddenly the crock split
in half, and the child was liber-
ated.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

Popular Representation blocked.

The whole question Of the revision Of
the method of popular representation in
Belgium is blocked at present by the at
titude of the government in relation to
the reorganization of tho senate, which
may lead ultimately to a conflict between
the houses and may involve the throne.
The correspondent Of the London Times
at Brussels says: A more perplexing mat
teris the utter insignifcance of the point
at issue Apart from the 26 senators to
be elected by the provincial councils
without paying any taxes is the senate
to be composed only of members paying
a direct tax of 1900 francs, with the
proportion of one eligible in 5000 inhab-
itants, or may it not be admitted that
the inhabitants who pay the highest
taxes in each province under ], 500 francs
should be equally eligible for the senate
in the proportion Of one to every 5000
inhabitants Upon this the whole ques-
tion turns. The latter proposal, while
still constituting a senate of which three
fourths are to represent the great landed
proprietors, would raise the number of
those eligible from 200 to 1000. And
it is for this petty difference that the re-
vision Of the constitution is not only
postponed in the house Of representa-
tives, but exposed to the danger Of ulti-
mate failure.

How CATS OFTEN SPREAD DISEASE.
Mothers should Teach Children Not to
Handle Strange Animals.


Mothers should Teach Children Not to
Handle Strange Animals.
Since ! have spoken in defense of the
dog, let me say something more with
relation to that other favorite household
companion Of mantle cat. / would
call your attention to the fact that the
cat is a beast far more useful to mankind
than the dog Without the latter we
could get along, but if we had no cats
we should have a continual plague of
rats and mice, which would oyerrun the
cities and devour the crops and small
live stock of the farmers.
At the same time you may set it down
an indisputable truth that the domestic
cat Is prolific source of a great variety
of diseases. 1t breeds them and dis
seminates them-slzin troubles partic-
ularly. 1t carries about with it the con
tagion of diphtheria, one Of the most fa-
tai Of human complaints, and it is seri-
ously suspected Of helping to sow the
germs Of consumption. A trouble akin
to ringworm which attacks the scalp and
causes the hair to fall out is frequently
conveyed by cats. Likewise it is with
scarlet fever, which, when it is in a
house, is always likely to be scattered
abroad by the pet pussies of the estab-
lishment.
The way Of it is this: When there is
sickness in a house, old cloths are ant to
be used for various purposes. These are
commonly thrown afterward into some
out Of the way place, like the corner Of
. closet. Suppose that there is a tabby
about that is on the point Of bringing
into the world litter of kittens. Fe-
male cats are constantly having kittens,
as You know, being among the most pro-
life Of animals. She searches for a Sc
questered nook for her accouchement
and Is likely to make her bed of Just
such a lot of old rags as have described.
AS a natural consequence, not only is
the mother cat infected as to her fur
with the contagious disease, but all Of
her kittens are likewise. The latter are
fondled by the children. Pathogenic
germs seem to find most favorable
breeding ground In the hair Of cats. AS
a result the complaint is spread. I'm
fortunately the infection is not limited
to the house. It is spread abroad by the
cats, which are notorious stragglers.
Thus before many days have passed
there is an epidemic Of scarlet fever or
what not in the neighborhood Nobody
can imagine how it got about. Little
Johnny dies Of diphtheria, and nobody
dreams that he contracted it by picking
up q strange cat.
Children have a way Of picking up
cats and holding them to their faces to
caress them. That accounts for many
cases Of that very disagreeable disease
called ringworm. 1t is the same way
with other skin troubles that are con
tagious. Cats as well as dogs are liza
bic to tuberculosis Of the lungs, other
wise known as consumption. That they
communicate it to human beings ismore
than suspected. Washington Star,

Cattle Food IN Maine.

Maine cattle are living on browse in
the absence Of fodder. One man says he's
seen them push against the trunk Of a
small tree, bend it over and then walk
astride Of it toward the top to keep it
from springing back while they strip
the leaves.
In the same state pigeons were once SO
thick in spots that droves Of hogs were
driven hundreds of miles to fatten on
them, and they could be knocked over by
the wagonload with sticks. DR.. Ezekiel
Holmes wrote these stories 90 years syne.

From another great railroad catastro-
phe, the dispatches tell us, the country

He discovered that a heavy crosspiece
support on the Shore line bridge over
the Quinnipiac river was broken, and
notified the proper authorities in time
to arrest the Washington express from
Boston and the return "gilt edge" ex-
press train from New York to Boston
from dashing upon the weakened struc-
ture, 500 feet long and 40 feet high.

wreck and ruin and human agony, be-
reayement and 1sutilation, was prevented

boy?-New York Telegram.
