When Horses Fight.

The herds of horses on western ranch.
roaming over so large space, rarely en-
counter one another. When they do the
mares evince only the smallest possible
amount of curiosity, but join and Craze.
Different is it with the stations. With
but moments preparation, they rush
wildly at one another like mad bulls,
neighing in what seems the mockery of
a neign, and with head in air and tail
curving proudly they rush and plunge
and rear, kicking and biting, stamping
one on the other until the ground and
horses are covered with blood, and ex-
haustion of one forces a surrender and
retreat. AS have said, the tickle mares
march off with the conquerer at their
head, while the defeated lags YEARLY
behind. .-Harper's Weekly.

Tea Gowns AIwava PopuIar.

1t is not likely that tea gowns will
ever go out of fashion. They are too
comfortable, too graceful, and far too
picturesque to be forsaken, at least until
some garment with similar or greater
advantages and attractions can be de-
vised, and that creation has not as yet
appeared. Most women never look so
well as in flowing robes that follow,
though not too closely, the lines of the
figure, and more luxurious and expen-
sive fabrics and more daring color me-
lsnges can be employed than would be
permissible in an ordinary day gown.
Even the stylish tailor girl is glad to re-
lax for time and seek easy comfort in
a tea gown, and no five o'clock" recep-
ton room or pretty boudoir looks nor
NAL with the inmates tight bodiced and
round skirted. The tea gown is as nec-
essary in either place or case as Hamlet
in Hamlet

ArsenicaI Poisoning.

The danger through arsenical poisoning
In our homes is not confined to the wall
papers, having been found often present in
cretonnes and imitation Indian muslin in
poisonous quantities. A bad specimen of
cretonne has yielded on analysis 1915 grains
of white arsenic, ~ grains having been
known to be fatal dose. Some months
back London doctor experimental upon
forty-four samples of cretonne supplied by
a local tradesman, not one of which was
absolutely free from the poison; eleven of
them were grouped by the analyst as very
bad, and nine as distinctly dangerous"
1t is quite common occurrence to have
pieces of these substances in room con-
tanning sufficient arsenic to give 100 people
fatal dose. A very popular impression
has been that greens and blues are the
dangerous colors, but the analyst declares
that reds, browns and blacks are more dan
gerous still.-Chambers' Journal.

Eliphalet Duncan, or Uncle Liph," " as
he was famillarly called by his relatives
and friends. possessed what he termed q
"philosophizin' mind" which stood him
In good stead on many occasions. Whats

happenedY' he used to say. Jest view
'em over careful an you'll most allus find

He had his share Of discomforts and
trials, but he was "well TO do" man, and
some Of his less fortunate neighbors said
that ''if they were as forehanded as Uncle
Liph 'twould come easier TO bear up under
things"
He had lived In one house ever since his
marriage, when a very young man, but
when he was about sixty years old the old
house was getting so dilapidated that he
had new one built on lot OF land which
commanded better view Of the hills He
also built a new barn, which was well
stored with hay and grain. Much new
furniture was bought, and Uncle Liph and
his wife, with their one unmarried daugh-
ter, were to move over to the new place"
In October.
The last OF September the Duncan family,
together with many friends, went to the
county fair which was held eight or nine
miles away Late in the afternoon boy
arrived at the fair and announced to Uncle
Liph with horrifed gasps that his new
barn had caught fire, nobody knew how.
and the only neighbor who had staid at
home had been making fruitless attempts
to put out the flames.
When the Duncan family arrived at the
site of what was to have been their new
home in a week or two the barn had been
entirely destroyed and the house was rapid
ly burning.
The next morning farmer driving slow
ly past the scene of the confagration espied
Uncle Liph seated on the stone wall, in
ruminating attitude He turned round as
he heard the sound of wheels, and said
slowly, 'Fm viewin' my ruins ye see"
We'll" said his friend, with some en-
ergy, Pm bound to say, Uncle Liph, ef
was in your shoes, ! sh'd find it consid-
duble OF a stump to philosophize over this
mess"

their minds pretty openly, and there
were several unpleasant scenes by the
well under the old lime tree This pub
Lefty brought some of the young men to
book, and some Of the others, recogniz-

was but small, gave up the chase and
betook themselves to solitary wander

imaginations could evolve.

PETRIFIED SNAKES.
Discovery of a Whole Nest of the
Stony Reptiles.
Denver News.


one OF the most startling finds ever made
In this section was unearthed the other day
at Beckvale, a small mining camp northeast
OF here. The Santa Fe Coal Company.
which has large mining interests al this
point, was excayating in the bottom of
gulch for the purpose of putting in a new
track, when peculiar formation was run
into.
The workmen stopped to examine, and
on digging around the spot to strange
thing was found 10 be perfectly formed
snake twelve feet in length.
Ihis md caused so much excitement that
me excavation was continued, and at a little
distance another reptile was discovered.
and on being dug out il was found to be
twenty-tour feet in length and as thick
through as mans body and perfectly pet
Tihed. pN'
This find cansed still greater excitement,
and all work was stopped to dig for snakes
Another one was struck and is not vet un-
covered. The reptiles were found at n
depth Of three feet. Details are but meagre
so far, but large number of persons have
visited the find and saw the facts as stated
are true. No one can tell how many of the
petrlhed monsters will be found, bat no
DOUBT there is a nest of them.
