On This Particular Occasion Et Failed 70
DO Its Work.
The crowd had gathered about horse
and buggy in the middle of the street.
The holse had ballzed.
"1'ic string around his ear, F" said
ono of the bystanders. 1T gives him
something else to think of. never knew
It to fail" F"
A string was prodEced and wound
tightly round one Of the animals ears.
Il had no effect.
"Bindfold him." suggested another.
A bandage was tied over his eyes and
n effort mado to start him.
Same result.
Back him"
"Ho won. back" said the exasper-
ated owner II tried that. 3"
"Try him with en ear OF corn"
The ear Of corn failed to move tha
obstinate horse.
"Ill see If can't persuade him some
other way" said the exasperated owner
Of the animal.
He tock whip and belabored the
beast with it till somebody threatened
TO have him arrested.
Then no kicked him awhile.
All in vain.
Finally a benevolent looking old gen.
tleman forced his way through the
crowd and said:
IL have seen a great many balky
horses started by building fire under
them. Can you get some straw or shaw
ings?"
A boy was sent to a neighboring fur
niture store for some excelsior. He
came back presently with huge arm
full. 1t was placed on the ground un-
der the horse and a lighted match
touched TO it.
AS the first feeble fame rose from it
and the smoke began to curl about his
legs the horse unbent a little. He turned
his head, took a calm survey of the sit
uation, and when the combustible stuff
burst into big blaze he moved forward
about six feet, in full possession of his
faculties and without any unnecessary
haste, and stopped again.
And the elegant buggy was damaged
$25 worth by the flames before it oc-
Cured &c anybody to scatter the blazing
stuff.
And then an old colored man in fad
ed suit of secondhand clothes and hat
with half the brim gone went out and
spoke kindly to the high spirited ami
NAL, rubbed his nose, patted him on the
neck, climbed into the damaged buggy
and said, ''.Git along, sonny"
And the horse moved off at brisk
trot, with head high in the air.-Chi-

SENATOR AND MRS. PETER.

They Are Always Together, aud the Good
Lady Is Her Husbands Counselor.
The relations between Senator PETER
and his wife are quite touching. They
are always together, and wherever Mr..
PETER is Mrs. PETER can usually be-
found near by. They walk together In
the morning from their boarding house
to the capitol, and when he has nothing
else to do they work in his committee
room, she acting as his private secretary.
When he has engagements elsewhere,
she remains there, answering his letters
and sending out his documents. When
the senate is called to order, she goes
into the gallery and remains until ad-
journment, when she walks home with
him. When lunchtime comes, they &C
down to the restaurant together and eat
baked apples and cream.
When he has to visit the pension Of
flee or the postoffice department or other
offices in the city, she is always with
him and usually waits outside of the
door until he comes. He is tall and un-
calmly, with high cheek bones, and dark
goggles, and long whiskers, and an ulster
on which the nap in places has beer
worn off. She is bright looking little
woman, nimble and observing, bus
plainly dressed in bonnet and gar.
ments which she evidently made herself
Mrs. PETER is Woman of considerable
intellectual force. She understands po-
litical affairs quite as thoroughly as he1
husband and is a safe counselor. Wash

Bores.

The great secret of boredom is to be
found in two leading qualifications. A
bore must be unable to find amusement
in himself and he must also be unable
to find amusement in any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
on his own mind nor on the minds of
his friends, but simply on the gratifca-
ton which it is to him to give special
direction, or at least to suppose that he
gives a special direction-for he is a
creature of the most unlimited credul-
ity in the art of magnifying his own in
huence-to the minds of his friends.
He is in despair unless he can imagine
himself person of influence, and un-
luckily%e can never imagine himself a
person of infuence-for he is a man of
very limited imaginative power-unless
he is taking overt steps to convince
somebody of something, whether it be
of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
of his own Importance, or even of the
importance of his patrons, like Mr.. Col
lins in Pride and Prejudice" To be a
first rate bore you must have no re-
sources in yourself and no resources in
your friends, but must depend for your
satisfactions on the real or fancied power
of making your friends either think or
do what they would otherwise not think
or do.-London Spectator.

Astor Finds 1t Expensive.

Mr.. Astor is finding it fully as expen-
siye to indulge in the luxury of publish
ing a good newspaper as to maintain
the finest steam yacht. The financial re-
suit of his first year s experience as pro-
prietor of The Pail Mall Gazette, Bud
get and Magazine was recently put be-
fore him. A friend of Mr.. Astor said
that the balance on the wrong side Of
the account amounted to about $780,
900. When he had examined the bal
ance sheet a few minutes, it is said that
Mr.. Astor remarked, "If the balance
against US next year exceeds $50. 000
shall think there is bad management
somewhere. "

His Point of View.

An odd illustration once given Emer-
son, the philosopher. of the fact that the
laws of disease are as beautiful as the
laws of health is reported in his lecture
on THE Comic. -
81 was hastening," he says, to visit
an old and honored friend, who 1 was
informed was in a dying condition,
when 1 met his physician, who accosted
me in great spirits.
And how is my friend the rever-
end doctor?' l inquired.
oh, I saw him this morning. 1t is
the most correct apoplexy 1 have ever
seen-face and hands livid, breathing
stertorous, all the symptoms perfect.
And he rubbed his hands with delight,
for in the country we cannot find every
day case that agrees with the diagnosis
of the books. Youth Companion.

rAg YOUNG QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her Siajesty's Actions on DeIug Notified OF
the KinE's Demise.

EeE oAstJcsty > kAcA4OuH on A1cius NoUl0eN Oh
tho I1inE's Demise.
William " was dead. The arch
bishop of Canterbury and Lord Conyng-
ham were dispatched to inform the
Princess Victoria OF the fact. 1t was a
warm night in June. The princess was
sleeping in her mother s room, her GUS
tom from childhood, and had TO be sum-
moned out Of her sleep. Tho messen-
gers awaited her in the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors
from that which was inhabited by the
Duchess of Kent and her daughter. The
young girl entered alone, in her night
dress, with some loose wrap thrown
hastily about her. The moment she was
addressed as Your majesty" she put
out her hand, intimating that the lords
who addressed her were to kiss it and
thereby do homage. Her schooling and
her instincts were admirable from the
first. Self possession combined with
perfect modesty came naturally to her.
A few hours later, at II o'clock in
the morning, the child queen met her
council. In the corridor at Windsor
there is a picture which commentaries
the event. Never, it has been said by
an eyewitness, was anything like tho
first impression she produced or the
chorus of praise and admiration which
was raised about her manner and be-
havior, certainly not without justice.
Her extreme youth and inexperience
and the ignorance of the world concern
ing her-for she had lived in complete
seclusion--excited interest and curios-
ity.
Asked whether sho would enter the
room accompanied by the great officers
of state, she said she would come in
alone. Accordingly when all tho lords
of the priv5 council were assembled the
folding doors were thrown open, and
the queen entered, quite plainly dressed
and in mourning, and took her seat for
the first time, a young girl among a
crowd of men, including al the most
famous and powerful of her subjects.
She bowed and read her speech, handed
TO her by the prime minister, Lord Mel
bourne, in a clear and firm voice and
then took the oath for the security of
the Church os Scotland.
Immediately the privy councillors
were sworn, the royal Dukes of Cum
berland and Sussex first by themselves.
1t was observed that as these two old
men, her uncles, knelt before her, swear
ing allegiance, she blushed up to the
eyes, as if she felt the contrast between
their civil and natural relations. Her
manner was very graceful and engag-
ing, and she kissed them both, and ris-
ing from her chair moved toward the
Duke Of Sussex, who was too infrm to
reach her. Fortnightly Review.

Tho Man In the Moon.

According to Pratorius, the man in
the moon is the Patriarch Isaac, carry
ing the bundle of sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cain, carrying bundle of thoIns,
the meanest Offering his lands afforded,
as present to God. In Iceland the peo-
pie claim that they can see the face Of
Adam in the moon and that of Eve in
the sun. Among the Frieburgers there
is a superstition which says that the
MARKS and spots on the moons face are
the outlines of the traitor, Judas IsCar-
lot, holding his hand over his face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Frankish legend, which says that there
was no spot ON Luna's bright face until
after the time of the crucifxion of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time of the creation God threw
an offending angel against the face of
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on his surface, intending
to people his own land with similar be-
ings. When he essayed to initiate God s
works, he made nothing but q Shiny SER
pent, which since that day has contin-
ued to fold and unfold its mighty coils
in full view of the descendants of the
God created beings Louis Repub-

of that notch was about 900 feet higher
