Farmer Jones had raised a pumpkin
OF size uncommon rare,
So he sent that wond'rous product
To the yearly county fair.
There his wife had pats OF butter
And his daughter, lovely lace;
So they went one day 10 gaze on
Their exhibits all In place.
Talk about that Exposition
Said the farmer with an air,
bet they haven't got punkin
That will beat the one right there,
Nor such handsome balls Of butter,
Nor such edging as Sis knits;
II do say il as shouldn't
It's enough TO give 'em tts.n
Gust you see that corn there, Mother,
And them apples big and red,
And that string o little onions,
And that mammoth cabbage head.
Why I'D ruther see that grain there
Or the biggest wry neck squash
Than the whole o. great Chicago
And her Jackson Park, by Gosh"

EXAMINING A NEW ARRIVAL.

driver. But what transformation
one minute springing out with all the
power in their great bodies, and the
next quietly submitting to the Affection
ate petting Of the driver.
The public unite in praising the
efficiency of the Fire Department of New
York, but rarely think Of the part dumb
brutes play in fire fighting. The horses,
added to the department every year 60

men to learn how to handle the hose and
scaling ladder. Chief Hugh Bonner
pays especial attention to this work, and
has detailed the best man in the depart
ment to the training stables on West
Ninety-ninth street.
The building, horses and training are
all uIder the care of foreman, who is
also veterinary surgeon and man Of
wonderful parrience. The commission.
ers allow $500 for the purchase of each
horse, and they are bought from big
punches of Western animals down in
Bulls Head market.
About ttty new horses are pouSnt
every every year to keep up the 800
constantly needed in active service. The
most desirable horse is one that is blocky
in proportion to his size, with good
strong feet and fiat legs with sinews we'll
apart. Most of the horses now IN the
department are Clydesdale grades, and
the Clydesdale horse is q native of Scot
land, the canny Scot showing here as in
everything else that he knows good
thing. The Clydesdale has peculiarly
good feet, this being prime requisite in
an engine horse.
The new houses are generally sent up
to the training stables five or six at a
time, and are put iuto good, big roomy
box stalls, whose doors and sides indi-
cate that more than one foot has been

hsrness. Others, after being allowed to
smell of the leather, and seeing that
there is nothing to harm them, stand
very calmly. It does not take long for
the horse to learn that the sound Of the
gong means his moving, and some of
quick intelligence in few days learn to
jump from their stalls without telling.
For the FIRST few days leading the
two green horses to the tender is all
that is attempted. There is no shouting
OF hauling the horses about. They have
time to find out things are not going to
hurt them and then they are encouraged
to put their heads under the collars Of
their own accord.
This is practiced over an over again
until the start at the sound of the gong
becomes second nature. Then comes
the most difficult work. The harness Is
buckled on and the. horses are started
out of the stable on O walk. They
must, of course, get accustomed to the
rattle of the engine behind them, but it
is quite slow work until they grow to
know the tender; then they are trotted
out, and finally let out at full speed.
When horse has reached this point
in his education he is ready to 60
out to one of the fire stations. There

stopped by the strong partitions. ''Kicka
Well, yes," replied one of the stablemen
to my question. "Some of them don't
seem to do anything but kick"
A green horse goes absolutely crazy
when he first hears the fire gong. He is
generally only partly broken to harness,
and everything in the city, coming fresh
from the farm as he does, is new and
terrifying. Every alarm from the Bat
tery to Harlem is sounded on the big
gcng attached to the walls, and many of
tile horses never get accustomed to the
sound of it. These, of course, are in
stantly rejected. Others kick, rear and
prance, but by and by settle down
enough for their first lesson.
A part of the floor ls partitioned off
for q hose carriage, with the harness
ready for buckling on, suspended as it
is in every engine house. As soon as
the horses show no fear of the gong, they
are led out, two at time under the

WORDS OF WISDON.
Millions won't cure sore toes.

Millions won't cure sore toes.
We are going on from grace to grace
10 perfection.
The world is much misled by some of
its best maxims.
To be avoided-professing cream and
living sour milk.
Wall street has not enough space to
bury its suicides.
We have the record of many good
rich man On earth.
Every man laughs when he wins and
swears when he loses.
How long will this metallic sentiment
crush out all manly feeling2
As long as a good man is good he will
be continually growing better.
Some people are afraid to become good
for fear their joys will all be lost.
. Beware of the man who puts his poe.
ket above country and his party above
conscience.
Mako it constant habit to be kind
to everybody, aud you will do more good
than if you went about scattering
money.
No man ever meets with shipwreck
because he finds ont that he is weak, but
thousands are lost because they feel that
they are strong.
How many man has lied to save ap-
pesrances, especially to his wife, when
he might have told the truth and gone
about his business.
Worldly men are like sour apples.
Outwardly they present q fair appear
ance, but the nearer the core you get the
more acrid the flavor.

teeth. The teeth are polished until they:
are smooth and white as ivory. Each
tooth is knotted to the wood by cord
made of human hair, passing through a'
hole drilled in the tooth and another
drilled in the wood. The shorter spear !
has ninetY-eight teeth, the longer 100. !
About the middle Of each stick q curi-i
ous piece of skin is fastened to the
wood. The skin is as thick as thet
stoutest leather and covered with sharp,l
white tooth-like projections. No one,
connected with the academy knows what
the skin is, as nothing like it has ever
been seen here before. The exhibit Isl
accompanied by q broad, curving band
of tie same skin, but whether it is in
tended as an armor plate or not nobody
seems to know.

Long Rides in Australia.

In Australia, where population is
sparce and distances are great, some re.
markable feats of endurance in horse.
riding are credited to the mounted
police-feats more remarkable in some
Instances, taking into account all the
circumstances, than those accomplished
by the winners in the military ride be-
tween Vienna and Berlin. Trooper
Power in February, 1880, undertook an
arduous journey across most inhospitable
country in pursuit of horse-stealer
named John Smith. This jealous officer
travelled 766 miles in twenty-six days
without changing horses. For one stage
of eighty miles he was wholly without
water, and the country was in such bad
state for 130 miles that his two horses
had nothing to eat. His powers of en-.
durance may be judged from the state
ment that be did thirty miles day on
worn out horses, along long dry stages
and with bad water or no water at all to
Criuk.
Trooper Wiltshire ON another occa-
sion rode eighty-fiVe miles in twenty
hours on one horse. This was on May
%, 1887, two days after the natives had
ssstucls up" Eridunu Station. This same
man travelled 200 miles in four days
when he heard that a comrade named
Shirley had died of thirst. He did not
have macadamized roads and plenty of
fresh water, like the German officers,
but be had a brolling sun to endure,
sand hills to climb, "mulga" scrub to
penetrate, and was sometimes compelled
to take dead animals out of native wells
before he could use the water.-London

Curious South Sea Armor.

The Academy Of Science, says the Sar!!
Francisco Chronicle, has added to the
treasures of the museum complete SUIT
of ancient armor from the Gilbert ISL
ands. Also, some odd pieces OF warlike
paraphernalia used or worn by. the duskE
warriors. All of these articles are be1
lieved to be at least a hundred years
old.
The coat of mail and helmet, all nj
one piece, looks, when of the wearers
like big wicker chair. When ON, the,
back of the chair apparently rises above
the wearer's head, which passes up
through the seat of the chair. The low
arms, which are really straps, pass over
his shoulders. The solid portion OF the
lower part is the corselet, fastening
around the body. IN
This curious garment is made OF co,
coanut fibre, twisted around and around
over thick cords, making dense fabric
stiff and stout as board. In color it rel
sembles .unbleached linen. The material
is woven by hand, after which it Is em-l

needlework is executed with cords made.
of twisted human hair. ~
With the singular costume just de5
scribed are worn q yoke and pair Of
sleeves, also in one piece. Also, q pair
of leggings with short iskirt at the tops
The skirt, leggings, sleeves and YOKE
are made Of brown cocoanut fibre, braid:1
ed and knotted, until itlooks very much!
like the common cocoa mating. The
thickness of these garments is something
surprising. It would seem that arrows
or spears could not penetrete this fabric.
The coat Of mail keeps all Che PORTIONS
OF the costume in place. The chair Like
projection above the head is intended t6
ward of arrows.
The work OF making this costume
must have been incredibly tedious, judg3,
ing the aneness and regularity Of twist
stitch, strand and mesh. No doubt thie
outfit of q heathen warrior represents the,
labor of years and the slavery Of women
Possibly, carnage in addition, as the
hair used may have been taken from
slain captives.
With the suit of arrnor are two spearAs

really leaving the big brutes to their own

the clatter of the horses great feet could
be heard quarter of mile away.
It was perfect picture of runaway,
but when the fire plug was reached there

the intelligent animals braced their: fore
feet and slid along some distance in their

Again I minutely examined the 1ra1l
web in my hand.
There could hardly be the least doubt
but that knife Of some sort had been
drawn through the handkerchief to
cleanse it.
Was It the creese that was wont to lie
upon the table in Leonore's room, used
as O paper cutter?
Mr.. Ketcham seemed to divine my
thoughts.
Out from one of those capacious pock.
cts he drew the vertable weapon.
Evidently he had been putting his time
to good advantage around the house on
the avenue, while I was chasing myths.
aSee here, Doctor, how precisely this
fits, and tell me if you think 1t was the
weapon that was drawn through this
kerchict."
I did look. He proved it to me in such
way that I must have confessed it as a
fact, even though it had signed the
death warrant of my dearest friend.

it, had been drawn through the hand

all safe and sure"
was not little surprised at these
words from Mr. Ketcham. They puzzled
me for quite time.

The Americas Cup.

With new challenge for the Ameri-
cas- Cup the interest in international
yachting regains life all over the world.
It Is to international yachting that
yachting in its higher form must look
for the perpetuat;on Of healthy and
vigorous life always. There are several
trophies now offered for competition by
yachting lovers of different Nations.
First and foremost Of these is always and
ever the Americas Cup, the ssblue rib

of silverware offered by the Royal Yacht
Squadron In August, 1851, in order to
make race for the American schooner

sailing for the Queens Cup by the rules

the fremen take the greatest pride in
helping new horse to learn his duties.
Here the horses are taught the value of
time, or one would think SO; the way
they get around in their stalls. Electric
buttons release their halters, and by the
time the firemen unbuckle the harness
from the overhead checks the horses are
there to receive it. Not second is lost
and the horses show as great an eager
ness as human beings in getting to the

Miss Johanna Remington shot hawk
which measured nearly five feet from
tip to tip few days ago at stonington:
The bird OF prey had seized agood sized

of forty yards. Miss Remington had
fired a gun but once before, and then
she killed lot of blackbirds in a flock

yachts of the world. No Nations ex-

1870, 1871, 1885, 1886 and 1887.
Canada challenged in 1876 and 1881.
