 Young of His-Horses isn't his name. A philologist recently said that the correct designation was Young Man Afraid For His -Horses-that Is, careful of them; but now Miss Emma c. Slckels, who founded the celebrated school for Ir- dian boys and girls at Pine Ridge Agency nine years ago, taught there several years and Is thoroughly acquainted with Indian affairs, says that the name is Young Nan Of-Whom-H His Horses-Are-Afraid.
 The New York Evening Post which last fall couldn't find words to describe the miserable condition of the American farmer under Republican rule, now re- 1 marks: It Is a noteworthy fact that the farmers are suffering but slightly from the financial stringeucy. It Is very rarely that a case is heard of where farmer b.- comes embarrassed, and when 1t does hap pen, 1t is pretty sure to be a man who | mixed the pursuit of speculation with that of agriculture.
 A Philadelphia WAT veteran has patented & device for protecting soldiers to 6 consid- erable extent from an enemy's fire. It is a folding shield of bullet proof material, cir culsr in form, which can be fixed to the barrel of rife. Its diameter is eighteen inches, and the surface IS corrugated for the purpose of dehscting bullets. The in ventor does not pretend that it furnishes complete protection, but he believes that 1t would be found indispensable by skir mishers and in general engagement would be the means of greatly reducing the casu slties. When not in use 1t can be folded into portable compass and worn at the side liks bsyonet. When expanded snd fast ened to the rife barrel an aperature on the line of sight is shown which enables the soldier to take aim and use his piece effec- lively. The idea of the invention Is al- ready applied to large rifisd guns on vessels of war. The inventor has brought his de- vice to the attention of military experts and they have indorssd 1t ss practicable in operation.
