A Horse With a Mustache.

"Look dar, Bill See Dat horse wild a

This explanation from one street gam
in to another attracted the attention of
a reporter and few friends with him
who were cOnversing on the corner.
Looking in the direction of the boys, he
discovered that Letter Carrier Thomas
Brown had driven up his little wagon
to collect the mail from the box. At
tached to it was a small sized sorrel
horse, which had, sure enough, an ele-
CANT mustache about 2 inches long and
curled in a manner which would excite
the envy of any dude. From Mr.. Brown
it was learned that the horse was about
years ole, and that he purchased him
from a negro. The negro raised him
from colt, and in early life he COM
menced sporting his mustache. To re-
lieve himself of the bother of answer
ing questions, the colored man had kept
the whiskers trimmed, but Mr.. Brown,
since he became possessed of the animal,
had permitted them to grow. Mash

Solomon Might Have Hesitated.

Solomon had to sit in Judgment in
many difficult cases, but wise as he was
even he might have hesitated before de-
Gliding the simple case in which a lat
ter day justice pronounced a Judgment.
A woman was summoned to answer a
charge of withholding a pitchfork
which had been lent to her by a neigh
boring gardener She straightway de-
clared that the fork had been the prop
erty of her late husband, and in proof
thereof showed the justice her hus-
bands initials, IN w." cut in the
handle. The complainant demurred, and
turning the fork the other way asserted
that the initials "W. NJ" were his.
The justice was in a quandary and con-
fessed his inability to determine which
way the fork was to be held in reading
the letters, but the woman ruined her
case by interposing, unasked, that, al
though she knew the implement had
been her husbands property, she
wouldn't want to swear to it.
Anyway" she added, "my husband
died. He had fork, and he didn't take
it with him. If that isn't it, where is
it?'
In the absence of better proof, judg-
ment was given for the plaintiff. ff.-New

A curious case of "cure by sugges-
ton" is reported from large German
hospital. A girl of IS was under the
impression that she had swallowed a
frog, which was alive in her stomach
and often jumped almost up into her
throat. The doctors had vainly tried to
cure her of this illusion, and she was
rapidly dying, when it occurred to one
of the medical men to put a tube into
her mouth in which a small frog had
been placed. The lively creature jumped
almost Immediately out of its prison
house onto the table in front of the
girl, and youthful student put it into
spirits, labelling the bottle, Extracted
from a stomach. The moment the girl
saw the creature beaming smile spread
over her pale face, she took food at once
and greedily and is now completely
cured. d.-Westminster Gazette.

Myrtle at ROYAL Weddings.

Near the flag tower at Osborne and
bordering on the carriage entrance to
the palace is a charming garden, which
contains very large myrtle tree grown
from sprig taken out of the wedding
bouquet of the princess royal in 1858.
Each royal bride has since carried a
piece of myrtle from the bush in her
bouquet on her wedding day, and two
bits were sent to Coburg for the use of
Princess Victoria Melita. Even the
Duchess of Coburg had some of the myr-
tie from Osborne in her bouquet when
she was married, the queen having sent
the pieces all the way to st. Petersburg
in charge of Lady Augusta Stanley

Night Air.

''It always amuses me-" remarked
DR.. T. l.. Goodwin of Chicago, ''when
hear people say that they are afraid
to have their bedroom windows open at
night, owing to the night air. What
other kind of air can we breathe at
night but night air? The choice is be-
tween pure air from without and foul
air from within. 1t has been proved
that large number of the diseases we
suffer from are occasioned by people
sleeping with their windows shut. An
open window most nights in the year
can never hurt any one. In large cities
the night air is the best and purest to
be had in any Of the "a hours, and it
would be a great deal healthier to keep
the windows closed during the day than
at night. The absence of smoke, ETC.,
tends to make the night the best time
for airing the rooms"
