HORSE SENSE.
An Instance Which Shows Wonderful
sagacity In Two Animals.

An Instance Which Shows Wonderful
sagncity In Two Animals.
A writer in Nature from the Ruskin
museum, Sheffield. records an instance
of sagacity in horses. From the win
dow opposite, he says, have just wit
messed an interesting performance on
the part of two horses. Bordering the
park is strip Of land, doomed to be
built upon, but meanwhile lying waste
and used for common pasturage, on
which the horses under notice were
leisurely grazing A pony in cart.
having been unwisely left by the
owner for a time unattended on the
grass, suddenly started off, galloping
over the uneven ground at the risk OF
overturning the cart. The two horses,
upon seeing this, Immediately Joined
in pursuit with evident zest. My first
supposition, that they were merely
joining in the escapade in frolicsome
spirit, was at once disproved by the
methodical and business-lilse manner
of their procedure. They soon reached
the runaway, by this time on the road,
one on one side of the cart and one on
the other; then, by regulating their
pace, they cleverly contrived to inter
cept his progress by gradually coming
together in advance of him, thus
stopping him Immediately in the tri-
angular corner they formed. Until
the men came up to the pony's head
they remained standing thus together
quite still; then the two horses, evil
IDENTIFY satisfied that all was now right.
without any fuss trotted back again
together to their grass.

HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC.
Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.

Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music
of the katydid. Here, again, says the
Washington Star, it is the male that
has the voice. At the base Of each
wing cover is a thin membraneous
plate. He elevates the wing covers
and rubs the two plates together. II
you could rub your shoulder blades to-
gether you could initiate the operation
very nicely.
Certain grasshoppers make sound
when flying that is like watchman's
rattle-clackety-clack, very rapidly re-
pcated. There are also some moths
and butterflies which have voices. The
deaths head" moth makes noise
when frightened that strikingly re-
semblcs the crying OF young baby.
How it is produced is not known,
though volumes have been written on
the subject. The mourning cloak"
butterhy-a dark species with a light
border in its wings-makes n cry OF
alarm by rubbing its wings together.
The katydids, crickets, grasshoppers
and other musical insects are all ex.
aggerated in the tropics, assuming
giant forms. Thus their cries are pro-
portionately louder. There is an East
Indian cicada which makes remark.
ably loud noise. 1t is called by the
natives "dundub," which means drum.
From this name comes that OF the
genus, which is known rs dundubia.
This is one of the few scientific terms
derived from the Sanslrit.
The "dcathwatch" isa popular name
applied to certain beetles which bore
into the walls and floors of old houses.
They make ticking sound by stand.
ing on their hind legs and knocking
their heads against the wood quickly
and forcibly. 1t is sexual call. Many
superstitions have been entertained re.
specting the noise produced by these
insects, which is sometimes imagined
to be warning of death.
Entomologists have succeeded in re.
cording the cries Of many insects by
the ordinary system of musical nota'
ton. But this method does not show
the actual pitch, which is usually sew.
eral octaves above the staff. 1t mere.
ly serves to express the musical inter
walls. 1t is known with reasonable GER
tainty that many insects have voices
so highly pitched that they cannot be
heard by the human ear. One evidence
of this fact is that some people can dis
tinguish cries of insects which are not
audible to others.

He Had Seen the scarecrow.

One Somerville young man, who has
just been spending fortnight in the
country, lost all chance of making q
favorable impression on the farmers
pretty daughter the very first day he
came. Her father came by the front OF
the house where the young man was
trying to make himself agreeable, and
the girl introduced him, saying:
"This is my father, Mr.. Smythe."
"Oh, yes" responded the young man.

raised with yeast, goes through this
long process of raising and Rneading
so no bread save that raised with yeast
has SO good chance of gathering
germs.
What is meant by raising" bread is
worth few words. The introduction

fungi effect destructive fermentation

the flottr-one of the most valuable
nutrient elements in the flour. The
fermentation produces carbonic acid
gas, and this, having it's origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the flour,
pushes aside the PARTICLES of tho dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called raising the bread.

Loose Ends In the American System OF
Criminal Punishment.
Not long ago newspaper readers were
shocked by accounts of the treatment
Of white woman prisoner in one OF
the American cities, where the chain
gang system of punishment is still in
use. This woman was ordered to work
in the streets, and upon her obstinate
refusal to submit to what was even to
a convict uncomfortable degradation was
literally starved into yielding.
The incident is only revolving illus
tration of the wrong attaching to the
whole system of punishment by public
exposure to shame. The street chain
gang, and the heartless leasing of con-
victs as practically slaves to mine-own-
ers, ought to be, as they are in most
parts of the country, as Anticipated and
impossible as the whipping-post and
the stocks.
The governor of Alabama has lately
pardoned thirty convicts who had be-
come helpless from rheumatism in
Cured while working in certain iron
mines where two thousand prisoners
worked under contract
In some of these mines the gas is
poisonous; n peculiar and dreadful dis
ease of the lungs is fearfully prevalent
among the miners, and three-fourths of
those attacked die.
Modern ideas tend more and more to
make legal restraint a means of reform,
not of torture, or primarily of degrada-
ton; TO make the prisoner better II
possible, at least to place him under
healthful physical and moral condi-
tions; to safeguard the community,
but not to destroy what may remain in
him of good or humane impulse by such
treatment as, it seems from these re-
ports, is still practised. Com
