Abrogating the Fees.

Mrs. Pigg, a very charming and viva
cious widow, called recently on a legal
friend of hers to consult him on a matter
Of interest to her.
"You know, sir" she said to him, "that
when the late Mr.. Pigg died he left me
all his fortune, much to my satisfaction,
Of course, but he handicapped me with
the name of Pigg, which I must say I
don't like"
"Well," ventured the attorney. 81 pre-
sumo a handsome woman isn't especially
complimented by being left a Pigg."
81 should say not" she laughed.
"Now, what 1 came to see you about was
whether or not ! must apply to the legis-
lature to get it changed"
"Um-er." he hesitated as if wrestling
with a great legal problem. "um-er-
yes, but an easier way is to apply to a
parson, and I'll pay all the expenses my
SELF"
1t was sudden, but a widow is never
caught mapping, and she appointed that
evening for another consultation.-De-

Sensitive Horses.

Harsh treatment, though it stop short
of inficting physical pain, keeps a nerv-
GUS horse in a state Of misery. On the
other hand, it is perfectly true, as a be-
sotted but intelligent stable keeper once
observed to me, "A kind word for a boss
is as good sometimes as a feed of oats"
A single blow may be enough to spoil
a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of
the Lambert branch Of the Morgan fam
lily, was thought as a ~3-year-old to be
the fastest trotting stallion of his day.
He was a very handsome. stylish, intel
ligent horse, and also extremely sensi-
tive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one of
the best reinsmen in America, once made
the mistake, through i'll temper or bad
Judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert a
severe cut with the whip, and that sin
gle blow put an end to his usefulness as
trotter. He became wild and ungovern-
able in harness and remained SO for the
rest of his life.
In dealing with a horse more than with
most animals n ought to exercise pa
tience, care and above all the power of
sympathy, SO as to know if possible the
real motive of his doing or refusing to
do this or that. To acquire such knowl-
edge and to act upon it when required
is a large part of the ethics of horse
keeping.-Youth,s Companion.

Snowman Monk Pelted with Fruit.

A religious riot in miniature has taken
place at Nantes. Some Catholic youths
were passing through a fair when they
caught sight Of a booth labeled 'Sanc-
tum Sanctorum." The Snowman was
dressed in the rough robes and cowl of a
Capuchin monk and protested to show
inside several relics or curiosities, in
Guiding the apple which tempted Eve
and the whale which swallowed Jonah.
Theyouths, who we're about goo strong,
called on the profane Barnum to desist
from his mockeries, but he only re-
doubled his patter and directed more at
tention to his show. A ~neighboring
orange merchant had to bear the n
quences of all this, for his stand was pill
LACED by the Catholics, who pelted the
Snowman with b efruit of the Hesperides
until he had to retreat inside what he
had really to use as a sanctuary for his
own protection. The police then came
up and charged the rioters, who wanted
to wreak more effective vengeance on
the insulter of religion.-Paris Core

Famous Wine.

The Emperor Williams present TO
Prince Bismarck consisted of a dozen
bottles Of the famous Steinberg cabinet
of the great comet year, which is the
finest and rarest wine in the imperial
cellars and remarkable both for its fra
GRANGE and for its strength. The gift is
worthy of the occasion. for all such wine
is absolutely priceless, and it is prob
ably only to be found in the cellars of
The emperor and of the Dukeo I Luxem-
burg. except for any stray bottles which
may yet be hidden away in a few coun-
Try houses. The old Emperor William
sent half q dozen bottles of the same
wine q . present to the queen in 1887,
and 1t was brought "a by the EN-
peror Frederick, then crown prince,
himself. Fine Rhenish wines get more
and more scarc every year, for there
has not been q really first rate vintage

had added a dish Of ice cream to the

THE BALLOON IN BATTLE.
How II Ii Managed ana Information Trans

How II Is Managed ana reformation TRANS
United and Rcceived.
Balloon and wagon have formed a juno
ton and are ready TO start with the
troops. Away goes the wagon, with the
balloon banging On to its tail, while the
attendant sappers on ench side keep 1t
steady. The train moySs along at a good
round pace, easily keeping up with or
ever passing the infantry. and makes for
the particular spot at which it has been
determined to m balloon opera
tions, which is usually on the top Of a
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is 0 accomplished. The balloon
Is securely fixed to the end Of the wire
rope. and the two men who are to ascend
take their places. At the word Of com
mand the men who have been holding
down the car let go, and up shoots the
balloon, unwinding the rope as it rises
and allowed sometimes to ascend to a
height Of 1000 feet. And suppose the
officer receives instructions to move the
position OF the balloon, is it necessary to
haul it DOWN. Not a bit of it. A man
Is placed at the end of the wagon who
carefully guides the connecting rope SO
that it cannot get ~entangled or run risk
of being cut, and away goes the wagon.
sometimes at a trot across fields and up
and down hill. until the balloon itself is
q long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that it is neces-
sary to lower the balloon. Is it needful
to wind in all the wire rope that has been
paid out from the reels? No such thing.
The balloon Is brought to earth in a
much more expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole, in the middle of
which is a pulley wheel, is laid across
the rope. Half a dozen men seize the
pole and run it along the rope, and their
weight soon brings the balloon down to
the ground. Passengers can then be ex-
changed, or any other operation can be
carried on, and then the men run the
again many hundreds Of feet into the
air, without having been away from it's
exalted position morethan a few minutes.
But it is not necessary to lower the bal
loon in this or any other way whenever
it is required that messages should be
exchanged between those below and those
above. There are various contrivances
for doing this. Sometimes, for instance.
a wire is attached, through which mes
sages al be sent t. a telephone. Another
plan is to send messages down the wire
cable. A little wire hook is fastened
around the cable, and the letter or pa
per, weighted with atbmdr sandbag, is
sent futtering down. The humanroice,
it may also be added, can be heard both
from a considerable height and depth, SO
that verbal communication is not difficult
if there is no wind.-Good Words.

IL Ii = Prohtiess Proceeding to Carry Goals

There are more ways than one, my son.
Of carrying Goals to Newcastle, and in
almost every a it is q profitless pro
ceeding On the part OF the person enga:-
cd in it.
Tn s~refore, my son, have nothing to do
with shat kind Of trafic-that is to say
do not encroach upon another's preserves
except to admire. Do not attempt to
stock them with your own game.
When q man is a salesman in q dry
goods store, do not attempt to instruct
him by the ventilation of ideas of your
own. II he be an actor, do not intrude
upon him any Of your amateur notions.
II q clergyman, refrain from Scriptural
citation and exegesis when in his compa-
ny. If q professional humorist, recist,
as it were the evil one, all temptation to
Righteousness and paronomasia. If anne
chanic, do notpresume to give him points
In his calling.
But, on the other hand. my son, do not
attempt to interfere with his speaking or
his calling, profession or speciality. So
long as you listen you make no mistake,
and the wing of friendship molts no
feather.
Give a to the story Of his experiences
at the counter, but interject none of your
own; listen toand applaud his spoutings,
but spout not yourself; receive with be-
coming reverence his interpretations OF
holy writ. but NEEDLE not yourself with
that which the lay mind is not supposed
to be able to cope withal; listen and
laugh at his wit and whimseys, but
hazard no joke Of your own; attend
while he relates his mechanical achieve
ments, but vaunt not yourself in the
same line.
1t is a common mistake, my son, to
suppose that because a man delights in
talking about a certain something in
which he is proficient, he loves to hear
every babbler that falls in his way des-
can't upon the same subject; that because
it pleases him to exalt himself in a given
direction he likes to hear others in the
same direction exalt themselves.
When a man knows a thing thorough

the same so far as he is concerned-he is
quite ready and willing to instruct others.
but he brooks no incursions by others
into his peculiar domain. When he has
finished the exposition of his wares, it is
time for you to show up yours, provided
of hrs they are of an entirely differ
emit line.
There must be reciprocity in the com
merce of conversation, an exchange of
complementary commodities. Each must
give what the other lacks and receive in
return that in which he is wanting, else
there IA be no trade, no harmony.
You would not ship oranges to Flori-
da, ice to Nova Zembla OF hot air fur
ace to Sahara. Then why carry Goals
to Newcastle?
Therefore, my son, let each man pad
die his own n as it best pleases him.
Admire, applaud, if you willard it is
your best hold-but don't put in your
oar, though he be swamping.-Boston

ONE indication that the people
of the country are awaking to their
own interests to some extent is the
fact that they are making the pub
lie road question one of politics.
The people pay taxes for good
roads and they elect local officers
for the purpose of seeing that the
money which they pay for good
roads and for various other local
conveniences and improvements, is
properly expended. When the
local officers elected for these pur-
poses fail to do their duty they are
relegated to the seclusion of a very
retired private life. This is just
exactly as it should be, and just as
it will be over in this neck of the

A. GENTLEMAN. who returned yes
terday frsm visit to Mesa said
that one of the arguments used
there in favor of county division l.
that there is an effort on the part
of Phoenix to keep the south side
in the background, and that real
estate men here misrepresent the
condition of affairs to the disadv van
tage of Mesa and the surrounding
country. The impression is certain
ly incorrect. Many of the promi-
nent business men of Phoenix are
heavily interested in south side real
estate. The superiority of the Mesa
country as fruit growing region is
recognized here with satisfaction
hardly less genuine than if the
country lay Immediately adjacent
to Phoenix.-Republican.
It is true that the Phoenix real
estate men misrepresept us and
that the other business men as O
rule are friendly to US. But the
misrepresentation to which we
have been subjected is no argument
in favor of division; there are CO.
gent and convincing arguments,
however, which will be presented
in due time.

woods It We are to judge by the
many cuss words we hear upon the
road proposition. There is no
country under the sun that can en-
JOY better roads by little expen-
diture than right here in the Salt
River valley. But it is noticeable
that the roads in many places are
execrable. The bridges across
bitches and canals are dangerous,
narrow and not properly provided
with safe and convenient ap.-
proaches. A section of the road
from Tempe toward Phoenix is a
disgrace to the county. The poo
pie now are inquirins naturally
whose fault this is, and when they
ascertain will reward the party or
parties should they figure in future
campaigns by allowing them to stay
at home, and this, too, no matter
what their complexion politically.
The following on this subject from
An eastern paper is directly in point:
"The roads question is finding
it's way into. politics. 1t has a
legitimate place there because it is
"a political question. When a man
is elected to public office he IS pre-
sumed to transact the business of
his state, county or town with the
same care and prudence that a sen.
sible man would exercise in the
conduct of his personal affairs.
Every town is corporation, and
every town officer is director in
that corporation, and directly re-
sponsihle for the proper manage
ment of the corporate business in
hich all the stockholders, to wit
the citizens, are concerned. 1t is
now becoming subject Of inquiry
whether a town officer who permits
his constituents to drag themselves
through miles o. mire for six
months in the year without direct
ing his official energy to cure the
miserable waste and business par
alvsis which such difficulties of
travel entail. is worthy of the con-
fidence and support of an intelli-
gent voter. In many towns in the
Eastern States the ono pertinent
question which caniidates for of
fee are now called upon to answer
is, "What is your positi,n on the
roads question I" In Brooklyn the
issue on this point is specially
prominent. The people of that
city are becoming heartily sick of
municipal government which has
resisted improvement, squandered
the public money and brought
benefit to nobody outside the par
ticular ring which has so long con-
trolled public affairs in that city.
The people have paid literally and
have only asked for some results in
return for their money. It is now
neck-and-neck fight between the
people and the ring, and the air is
full of promises that may he dis
counted per cent. per cent.
