A FOur-IeUped Coaster.

A horse which had been hauling it's
owner around on an improvised sleigh
lately to his great establishment was
treated to jolly coast down hill, says
reached the top of a long hill out near
Woodstock and as there was no shafts
to the sled it ran up against the horse
heels. He reared up and, slipping, fell
over backward on the sled. The driver
saw him coming and got out of the way.
The stakes at the side of the sled held
the horse on and away he went shoot
ing down the hill, till finally the sled
brought up on a railway track. The
stakes were removed and the horse
walked out uninjured. He was turned
about and hauled the sled and his mas
ter up the hill, which suited him better
than the riding down on his back. The
sight'of the horse going down the in
cline, with his legs waving in the air,
WAS very funny

used it in my family for Bronchitis,

derived good results therefrom. I

Incandescent Lights.

People who use incandescent lights should
always keep in mind the fact that there il
danger ever lurking about the brilliant lit
tie illuminators. 1t is an easy matter to
explain without going into the technicali-
ties of electric science. OF course you will
say 80 or 100 volts will not do much harm.
but don't he too sure of that, and particu-
larly don't imagine that 80 or 100 volts is
all your little wire will carry.
Sometimes the incandescent gets crossed
with "A high circuit wire. In that case it is
expected by the electrician that the safety
fuse will blow out and thus cut off the CON
nections, but sometimes this fuse don't
work could cite many instances in which
it did not, and as "A consequence disaster
resulted. Nomatter how much care is taken
to make the lights safe, there is always
danger in fooling with lightning. Never
attempt to turn on the light should the
floor be wet, for Il ground circuit is dead
ly thing, and don't take hold of the metal
fixtures with one hand and then use the
other to turn on the light. The precautions
are easily observed. -Boston Transcript.

4 Desnerats AItack-

A remarkable exhibition of nerve" in
shooting was given by Colonel Nightingale,
famous sportsman of India. He had got
q running shot at tiger from the back of
his elephant, hitting him in the shoulder.
The beast rushed away and made for some
bushes $50 yards Off whence man emerged
The tiger rushed at him and struck him
down. Tiger and man were in confused
heap on the ground. At the risk of hitting
the man the colonel fired and heard the
ball strike bone.
The tiger, with IA roar, rolled off the man
and plunged into II ravine. The colonel's
conical bullet had carried off the lower
jaw and fangs of the brute No other shot
would have saved the man, but without a
jaw the tiger could not seize him. The
man, who was deaf and moving about the
jungle, had only been scratched by he ii
gers claws,-Youth's Companion.

The Kaiser as IA Latin student.

Emperor Williams love of the use of
Latin quotations-he is an excellent Latin
scholar, due TO the splendid training at the
gymnasium of Cassel-was illustrated
again recently in his telegram to the Berlin
Regatta Wansee society. "Navigara necesse
est, vivere non necesse," wrote his majesty
in the course OF his congratulatory words.
The saying, it may be remembered, is that
of Pompey, and is to be found in chapter 80
of Plutarch's biography.
In order to prevent a famine in Rome in
the year 81 b. c., Pompey was empower
ed to import AS much grain as possible to
the city. He had 10 assistants. In order
to assure the success of his work he went
in person TO Sicily, Sardinia and Africa.
When on the point of returning home, a
terrible storm broke forth, and the sailors
refused 10 put to sea with the load of grain.
Pompey sprang into one of the ships and
commanded the anchors TO he raised, adj
ding: ut is necessary that we embark: it
is not necessary that we live" This elias
steal remark is engraved over the entrance
TO the famous "SchafTerhaus" in Bremen

His directions all were given; to his chiefs he

Every ant then seized his plaster, just a speck

averted disastrous run on a bank in AL
Arkansas town. The president and cashier
were both absent when the panic began,
and there were only few hundred dollars
in the safe. The teller took several hun
dred sacks which had been made to hold
Il 900 each and had them filled with iron
washers and nuts at a neighboring hard
ware store. He piled these sacks up behind
him, placing the little money which he had
in sacks on the top of the pile, and proceeded
to pay checks AS fast as presented. The de-
positors, seeing what they supposed was
thousands of dollars, concluded they were
unnecessarily alarmed, and the run came to
an end.-Kansas City Times.
