A Child's Version.

The idea presented to child's mind
by a word which he thinks be under
stands, though its meaning has never
been explained to him, is often quite
foreign TO anything which the dicton-
AIRY has to offer.
"The wind bloweth where it listcth. i"
read the Sunday-school teacher to her
class Of little girls. Do any of you
know what listeth' means?'
The children with one exception
shook their heads The exception was
an S-year-old, haxen-haiyed girl who
after a moments reflection said, eager
ly, II know"
You may tell us, then, said the
teacher encouragiugly.
I'm afraid. said the little girl. m a
dubious tone, "that ] can't make the
rest Of them understand. for they have
nit amy grandpas in the country, same
as have. But there's always -lrip
on he bottom Of the front doors in the
country, that grandpa told me was

wind blow in under that door once, +"
said the child in tone of conviction,
addressing the rest Of the class, you'd

Dom Pedro aud the Engineer.

The late Emperor Dom Pedro Of
Brazil once gave an audience to a
Young engineer who came to show him
a new appliance for stopping railway
engines. The emperor was pleased
with the thing aud said
I'VE VIII put it at once to a practi-
cal test. The day after tomorrow
have your engine ready; we will have
it coupled TO my saloon carriage and
then tire away. When going at full
speed viii unexpectedly give the sig
nal TO stop and then we will see how
the apparatus works,
At the appointed time the emperor
entered the carriage and the engineer
mounted his engine, and on they went
for considerable distance; indeed,
the young engineer began to suspect
that the emperor had fallen asleep.
when the train suddenly came to
sharp curve round the edge Of a cliff,
On turning which the driver saw to
his horror an immense boulder living
on he rails.
He had just sufficient presence OF
mind TO turn the crank of his brake
and pull up the engine within a couple
Of yards OF the fatal block.
Here the emperor put bis head out
Of HE window and asked what thev
were stopping for. The engineer
pointed to The piece OF rock. on seeing
which Dom Pedro burst into a merry
laugh
Push The thing to one sidel" he called
o1t 70 the engineer who had jumped
down from the locomotive; and when
t4e latter, in his confusion, blindly
ooeTed and kicked the stone with his
loot il crumbled into dust
y was a block Of starch that Dom
Pedro had ordered to be placed on The
rails the night before.

Breaking a Ioung Horse TO the
Saddle.

Suppose that the horse which YOU
are roing to ride has never been rid
5ep before-how shall yen begin? If
Ne is an intelligent animal, well
brought up. he will probably allow YOU
To mount him. provided that you do it
rerv slowly and cautiously; but if he
be stupid or timid, you can begin by
having HIM carry 4 bag OF oats. had
lately a horse that had thrown the
only man who ever attempted TO ride
him. and when | prepared to get on he
showed unmistakable signs of an in
tention TO do the same by me. So !
called the oats into play. A bag. half
full, was tied UP, and he was allowed
TO smell Of it. When an effort was
made to put il on the saddle he showed
excessive fear, but by proceeding
gradually. and by soothing and coax
inc him, we were soon able, first, TO
rut it on gently. and Mt last to throw
II on the saddle without disturbing
him At the next lesson, after going
through the same process, the bag was
tied to the saddle, and he was FIRST
walked and afterward trotted about
with it on. then put my foot in the
stirrup, Immediately Withdrawing it,
however, for he became alarmed.
Then ! tried again, and after few at
tempts. finding that he was not hurt,
he submitted. The next step was to
raise myself in the stirrup, and this
again alarmed him at first. but gradu-
ally he became accustomed to it, and
at last | slowly and carefully put the
other leg over, and in n few minutes
more | was riding hia about | do
not think the whole lesson occupied
more than twenty minutes OF course
the horse was held by groom during
the process,
In mounting young, green horse,
you should be extremely patient and
gentle, lest You should get him into
bad habits which he might retain for
the rest of his life Remem Der that
your object is not simply to get on his
back, but TO do it in such way that
mounting him viii be an easier task
the next time. Mount your horse first
in the stable, then close to the stable
and finally, month later perhaps, in
the open. If you are obliged to dis
mount on the road, and are doubtful
of Your ability to get back lead the
horse up tosome building if you can
find one, and if not, TO tree or a
fence. 1t is astonishing what a differ
ence the presence or absence Of such
background makes. Be sure also TO
have a firm grasp on the reins, in case
the horse should start just as YOU were
Do not haul yourself up
with rhereins, but be prepared, mental
ly, to pull up The horse if necessary.

Stand By the Platform!

The Virginia Democratic Association.
among whose members are some OF the
most distinguished Democratic politicians
of that State, treated itself to an excursion
down tho Potomac last week. and to
speeches upon the political prospect.
There was a curious tone OF disappoint-
ment as to the offices running through tho
speeches." say the reports. but personal
disappointments had not relaxed a fibre Of
the steadfast resolution OF the members to
do their duty by their party. and to stand by
tho platform:
democrats should support their party on
the Chicago platform. to arhich they were
pledged"
That is the spirit Of sound Democracy and
honest manhood. The number Of Democrats
who can get Office is limited, and there
must be disappointment and dissatisfac-
ton. even II Republican holdovers were
hurled out faster than they are; but who
ever gets office. and whoever fails to get 1t,
every Democrat Is under obligation to holp
his party carry out its platform. in the let
ter and the spirit.
Tho Offices are in the hands of Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND. The honor and good faith OF the
Democracy are in the hands OF tho De-
mocracy: and every Democrat has n share
In the duty and privilege Of asserting and
maintaining them.

"a Remote Possibility"

In the matter of the vacancy in the Su-

possibility" Of the appointment Of Judge D.

This Is an interesting report. II Judge
HERRICK should be chosen. he would I'M
doubtedly continue to exercise his functions
as member OF the Democratic State Com
mlttee. There Is neither more nor less rea-
son why he should resign that post upon 60

Tho Thirty-,nIlo Zone.

at London and st. Petersburg concerning
the protection Of tho fur seals. British
ycssois. under this order. are not to hunt
the animals within a distance Of thirty sea
miles from the Commander Islands, or Of
ton miles from tho Russian mainland. Tho
prohibition applies to the North Pacific as
we'll as to Behring Sea. The claim OF our
representatives before the Paris tribunal Is
chat pelagic scaling ought to be restricted
even south OF the Aleutian chain.
Thirty sea miles is nearly thlrty-five
statute miles. and the distance thus agreed
upon by Great Britain for the protection Of
tho Russian island rookeries Is ten miles
greater than that which she has proposed
for the Pribylov group to tho Paris arbi-
tors. While 1t is not so great distance as
our counsel at Paris demand. there being
some testimony that tho seals swim out
further than that from the breeding
places in search OF food, yet II will DO a
considerable help in preventing the cxter-
mination OF tho animals.

Injustice to q Lunatic.

A Topeka despatch represents Kansns
State officer. a distinguished member of tho
Populist party. as exhibiting mental In
flrmities which disturb his friends andinter-
fcre with the public business. The reported
acts are far from bearing out the charge OF
insanity. For instance. tho officer will not
allow the State Supreme Court to use the
Senate chamber as q court room, nor will he
allow visitors to inspect that chamber. He
insists that the State House Is in his keeping.
and hns turned Off various lights In
its offices. He Is said to have 1900 copies Of
tho journals OF the last Legislature put in his
charge for distribution, but he keeps them
and will not distribute. saying that they
belong to tho official records. and that the
public can go hang. Indeed. no guards the
journals 30 religlously that he will not let
anybody get peep In them. Finally. "he
maintains that there Is u conspiracy to rob
the State. and that he alone can prevent II"
Upon such facts as these. 1t Is proposed to
have his sanity investigated.
Such On investigation would be absurd.
A Kansas Populist or Hayseed Socialist,
has method of his own. If a Kansas OFF,
clal put into Office by these cranks has
como to imagine that he Is the State Gov
eminent, that the Stnte is getting robbed.
that only he is capable Of being n faithful
custodian Of the buildings and other prop
erty of the State. he is simply acting accord
ing to his lights, and as the political de-
velopment Of the Kansas Populist charac-
ter commands. For how many weary
months have the Kansas reformers in
sisted that tho State was robbed. and
that nobody but themselves could gov
ern it honestly and well. When Kan
sas. to her sorrow. put these fellows
into power. though not. fortunately, into
absolute power. they showed tho insolence,
tho ignorance. the itch for authority. the
contempt for public opinion. and the sus-
picion Of courts which this Kansas State
official. said to be suspected OF lunacy.
seems to be showing. A whole party can
not we'll DO included in lunacy proceedings.
and 1t would be absurd to single out any
one Kansas POpulist as lunatlc. or
course, he Is IA lunatlc for he is q Kansas
Populist. but he is as sane as his associates:
