Senator stanford's Regard For His Horse

Senator Stanford's Regard For His Horses.
In employing men to work at Palo
Alto the late senator gave them the most
strict orders. They We're told never to
strike, kick or whip horse, and his in
structions to his lnen were: always do
a thing little better than anybody else,
and you will succeed. When you ham
die horse, treat him little better than
any one else. When you breed horse,
breed him to little better stock each
time"
It was in this way that Stanford revo-
lutionized the horse breeding of the coun-
try. He never allowed one of his men to
i'll use a horse, and they knew it. There
is never noise OF blows around the Palo
Alto stables, and the horses are never
frightened. To show his feeling toward
his horses the late Henry Vrooman once
told Of an occurrence when he was din
ing with Senator Stanford. Just after
the dinner one of the drivers insisted
that he. must see the senator. He was
ushered in, with blood over his face,
which was badly cut. "John knocked me
down." explained the man, referring to
one Of the trainers.
"What-did you do:' asked the senator.
Nothing" replied the man.
''But you must have done something.
want the truth persisted the senator.
II kicked horse, and John knocked
me down." said the man.
s'Those were Johns instructions, and 1
think he did just right" said the senator

English Funeral Etiquette.

There is one division of English ell
ouette which strikes an American as
worthy of note, and that Is in connec-
ton with the dead. On the day7of q
funeral every house in the immediate VI
cinity has the blinds lowered until the
last carriage has passed. Every boy is
taught to lift his hat as the hearse goes
by, whether 1t be the funeral car of the
noble or the pauper's hearse.
During the interval between the death
and the time that the body is removed,
often week, no shouting must be in
dulged in by the children Of the neigh
borhood, and no games must be played
near the desolated home. The merest
acquaintance sends card by servant
bearing message of sympathy, but there
is no intrusion upon the mourners ex-
cept by the most intimate friends. Those
who attend the funeral services always
wear black gowns, bonnets and gloves,
and all letters Of coincidence must be
written upon black edged paper and in.
closed in an envelope to match.
English ladies do not go to the grave.
though there have been some notable ex-
ceptions during the last few years in the
cases of wives of prominent men. Their
departure from the old custom Is one Of
many indications that English women
are preparing to take their rightful place
In the world-that they are no longer
content to be regarded as helpless crea-
tures-but may the day be far distant
when they shall lose the gentle courtesy
which is the charm Of the English home.

Avoiding ,riIitary Duty In France.

Public opinion has been called in
France to scandals In connection with
army recruiting WHICH show how diff
ficult It Is to carry out o scheme of uni
versal compulsory service. As matter
of fact, it is we'll known that In order
to prevent the burden of the system fall
ing with undue weight upon certain in
dividuals numerous exemptions have to
be made. The only son of a widow, for
instance, who helps to support his moth
or, is let off scot free, while the eldest
son of man upward of 70 years of age
is only made to serve for one year If it
can be proved that the father Is depend
ent upon him in any way. A declara-
ton of the facts has to be made on oath
by three witnesses before the exemption
is made.
A case of fraud which has just come to
light has shown that there are persons
who are ready for small consideration
to swear to anything that is required in
this way. In the country districts the
fraud must be attended with great risk,
but it is the opinion of one of the Paris
magistrates, who has had much expe-
rience in the matter, that In the great
cities it Is practically impossible to de-
tect it-LOndon News.

Street Trees.

T. Greiner gives list of the trees which
be thinks are best adapted for planting
along the borders OF streets. He places
the silver maple first on the list for full
filing all the conditions required. In
rich soil it's growth Is often too rank.
The white elm comes next In popular ia
ror for its tall growth, lofty head and
wide sweep Of branches. The sugar ma
pie Is extensively planted in the north
and Is better suited to dry situations
than the elms or other naples. The
common horse chestnut is largely plant
ed in northern towns. We would add
to this list the black birch for its free
dom from insects, and the black maple
is superior to the sugar maple for the
richness Of Its foliage, says The Coun-
try Gentleman.

An Interesting Calculation.

The age of person and the month In
which he was born may be discovered as
follows: First you ask him to go to tho
other end Of the room to prevent your
seeing what he is going to write. Then
you ask him to put down the number of
the month In which he was born and
multiply 1t by 2, then add to the sum,
and multiply the latter by 80; add his
age to the product, then deduct S65, and
add 115 to the remainder. Suppose he
is 40 years Of age and was born in Feb
ruary, the computation might stand
fhuss Two multiplied by equals 4, plus
equals 0, multiplied by so equals $50,
plus 40 equals 400, minus Se5 equals 1874.
plus 1l5 equals 240. The last two fig
ures indicate the age-viz, 49-and the
first figure ~ February, the second
month of the year. You simply ask the
person to state theresult of the calculai
ton and then declare that he was born
in February and is 40 years Of age.
Experiment with this as often as you
please, and it is sure to work, provided
you do It correctly.-Exchange.

ANCIENT CLAY TABLETS.
Wow tho WRITINGS Of tho Egyptians Were
I,,,nanrrnd For All TiIuO.

Ysow tho Writings OF tho Egyptinns Were
Preserved For All limo.
The clay of which the Tell Amarna
tablets are composed differed greatly in
different regions. DE-. Bezold says; In
color the tablets very from % light to Q
dark dust tint and from flesh color to
dark brick red. Tho nature Of the clay
OF which they,are made sometimes indl-
Gates the countries from which they
come. No. /, o draft Of letter from
Amenophis III to Kallimmasin, is made
of finely kneaded Nile mud. Others are
of the dark red clay which is met with
in the north of Syria. Five Of Ribadda's
letters are written on the yellow clay
which Is common on the Syrian coast.
The tablets from Shubandi, Widya and
Shuardata contain fragments of flint
Of the shape of the tablet sEs says;
1.-THE greater number are rectangular,
and few are oval, and they differ in
shape from any other cuneiform docu-
ments known to US. Some are fat on
both sides, some are convex on both sides,
and some are pillow shaped Compare
the name given to such tablets by the
Arabs, mekhadid or pillows ;"
The tablet, having been kneaded into
shape, was inscribed while the clay was
damp by the use Of q wooden style, and
the diverse having been written the tab
let was supported by some means while
the back was in use. In the case Of some
cuneiform tablets, holes are found in the
corners, which were made by pins Of
wood, on which they rested, SO as to pre-
vent the written surface from being OBJ
liberated while the reverse was being in
scribed. But these pinholes do not seem
to occur In tho present collection.
Some of the letters are divided into
paragraphs by ruled lines, which are,
however, not always truly horizontal.
The royal letters, which are the most
carefully written, have well shaped SYM
bols in true horizontal lines, but many
of the tablets from Syria seem to have
been hastily written and are often very
crooked. The care, however, that was
taken by the scribe is evidenced by the
corrections which he has introduced Of
unfinished words, to which syllable or
more is added by insertions between the
lines, while In other cases words, or even
a whole line, have been erased by
smoothing out the writing, other signs
having been substituted, or in some
cases the space has been left blank.
When, therefore, translators who have
found difficulty in understanding what
was written have supposed that the
fault lay with the carelessness of the
original scribe. we can only regard such
superstition as indicating the self suf-
fciency which Is common fault among
a certain class Of modern scholars, who
are convinced thatif there be any error
1t cannot be their own.-Edinburgh Re-

The perelopment OF the Girl.

getting it at all. By the time she is 95,

slsspins Car Arrangement.

A lady writes urging the introduction
of special sleeping cars for women on
which only women servants should be
employed. Theoretically this would I'M
doubtedly be desirable reform, which
men as we'll as women would favor,
since the usual mixed arrangements are
probably not agreeable either to men or
women. However, it is to be feared that
the plan is not practicable. From q
womans car Of this sort conductors,
brakemen and all other men would have
to be excluded, or else there would be no
advantage except to the men in the other
cars from which women We're excluded,
and under our present system of con-
struction this would be impossible. Men
would still have to make a thoroughfare
of the car in order to carry on the train
at all. A separately curtained portion
of car would seem to approach nearer
to prachcability. AS matter of fact,
no serious trouble results from the pres
ent system. though it is often incon-
venient and disagreeable to both men
and women.-Bostou Transcript.
