The Intelligent Animal Saves His Rider

A correspondent relates an adven-
ture he had In the noun tains of Ten

ing, on horseback, for the camp of
friend. He rode on after dark and lost
his way. THE top of the mountain"
he says, twas covered with a dense
underground of pines and bushes, and
in wandering around through this
maze my horse came out upon a small
open space, hard and gravelly, like
well-beaten road. Just as he stepped
over the decayed trunk of fallen pine
he came to u full stop and refused ut
terly to move an inch. After trying
in vain to urge him on, having been
raised on farm and knowing the pro-
verbal sagacity of horses, concluded
to let him have his own way; so /
pulled him around to the left and let
go of the rein, thinking his instinct
would take us out of this place, which
was so distasteful to him. Imagine
my surprise when, in few minutes,
he reappeared on the same spot.

the left and then, giving him his own
way by dropping the bridal rein,
thought surely he would get clear of
the place, but after a few minutes
wandering he came out on the open
place and stepped over the identical
pine log for the third time, planted
his feet firmly on the ground and, as
before, refused to go ahead an inch.

taking him by the bride, moved one

lineage. Even the swinging cradle in
which the wee boy takes his long baby
sleeps has held the infant forms of
many of his royal grand unclcs and
aunts. 1t is the one the queen had in
the royal nursery for her own children,
and it is deemed proper and suitable
that this important successor in the
line should have resting place digni-
fed with heredity.
The cradle swings from a graceful
frame of rich old mahogany inlaid with
gold. Draperies of handsome brocade
of n delicate pearl tint are attached
and used to shut off intrusive draughts.
The sheets for this downy nest are OF
fine Irish lawn, lace trimmed: the
blankets are softest embroidered Pyre-
mean wool, and the coverlid matches
the pearl brocade. The crown and
three feathers which surmount the
framework are further typical of the
royale estate of the small occupant,
whose baby eyes look out on many
such suggestive emblems.
The layette of the little prince is
peculiarly delicate and dainty. Irish
linen and Spitalfields silk were used
whenever it was possible. and some OF
the lace comes from Northampton. The
work is exquisitely fine, the robes
given by the queen being peculiarly
lovely. One robe is of rich Irish lawn
haud-embroidered, and as fine in text
ure as the famous woven wind" o1
India, and the other rich cloak and
hood of pure white zibelline, beauti
full sil'Scn material. The tiny hood is
adorned with the Prince of Wales
feathers in pure white ostrich tips.

Where the piazza Is used as a sum-
mer sitting-room, table is necessary,
as in dining-room. A shelf hinged to
the house and so arranged that it can
be raised and lowered is quite service
able, but it is not exactly an ornament
to the house, and the difficulty of ex-
actly matching the paint makes it even
less so. Our illustrations show one
that can be quite readily made by any
one who can drive q nail or fasten q
screw.
The top is of pine wood, three-quar-
ters of an inch in thickness and twenty
four inches ccross. AS 1t is difficult to
find board of sufficient width, two
pieces will have to be glued together
and secured with dowel pins. There
must be two of them, driven into the
edge of each piece two and one-half
inches, after the edges have been care
fully squared and Strengthened by
planning. The holes must be bored with
quarter-inch bit, and an equal dis
tance apart. Make the pegs of oak to
fit the holes, and after dipping them
into hot liquid glue, drive them into
one piece; then glue the edges, and be-
fore it has time to cool, insert the pegs
in the opposite piece and drive them
tight together.
The lower round or shelf of the table
will probably have to be made in the

Every defeated democratic candidate
has cause to congratulate himself upon
the splendid run he made. The large re-
publican m sjorities were, in almost all
instances, cut down to nominal plurali-
ties only. In the case OF Mr.. Allen the
result should be most gratifying to that
gentleman. Sheriff Simmons carried the
county in '92 by $50 plurality, while
Sheriff-elect Dillsy takes his seat with
only rs votes as the measure OF his victory.
Jos. Stephenson made his usual strong
run-and the county is perhaps consider
ably richer in purse on account of that
fact. Mr.. Stephenson is q conservative
man; and, with a thorough knowledge OF

How He Formed His Op,niou.

Jim Thornton, who just now occupies
q position of extreme prominence in the
Tenderloin precinct, hasn't very high
opinion of human intelligence as dis
played in the swell cafes. He tells this
story to show that his opinion in this re.
spect is correct:
During the recent excitement about
the nearness of Mars to the earth he was
sitting in the rear room of Broadway
cafe fiat broke, but very thirsty. He
had nothing to do, so he sat down and
wrote song, which he called "My
Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon"
When he finished it he offered it to
the bartender for a couple of drinks and
o dollar. The bartender laughed at him.
and Jim walked away with his thirst
and the song. Pretty nearly every one
knows the song now, and the royalty
from it allows jim to spend over $50 a

Light Shoes For Horses.

Light horses of 1000 pounds weight,
with well shaped upright feet. should
have fore shoes weighing about one
pound each and the hind ones IL ounces.
according to The American Agricultural,
which makes the following computation:
II four ounces are added to each shoe,
let us see what difference it will make.
In blowing, cultivating and many other
farm operations horse will walk from
10 to 20 miles a day and advances about
four feet at a step. At each step the
horse lifts half a pound extra ON its two
feet, or 688 pounds in every mile. In a
days work of IS miles the horse would
life $500 pounds extra, or nearly five
tons. II the force required to lift this
Ave tons Of iron could be expended in the
work the horse is doing, much more
could be accomplished. In the light of
these facts is it any wonder that when
young horses begin to wear shoes they
soon become leg weary, have their step
shortened and acquire a slow walking
gait?

The Color OF Electricity,

well made remarkable experiment,
showing the effects of electricity upon
steam. 1t is we'll known fact that the
shadow Of a jet of steam cast upon any
white background under ordinary cir
cumstances is of feeble intensity and of
a neutral tint. But. however, if the jet
be given a discharge of electricity Just
at the moment when it comes in contact
with the air, the density of the shadow
is amazingly increased as result of con-
densation, and it assumes peculiar
orange brown hue with lines and waves
merging into inky blackness.
Mr.. Bidwell, the only person to my
knowledge who has ever made these ex-
periments scientifically, suggests that
the electricity promotes a coalescence of
the exceedingly minute particles of wa
ter contained in the jet Of steam, thus
forming drops large enough to obstruct
the more refrangible rays of light, but
why the color of the shadow should
change from neutral to shades of at least
three we'll defined colors he does not at
tempt to explain. From one of his late
articles I gather ideas which point to the
intense blackness of thunderclouds be-
ing due to similar causes.-St. Louis Re

distilled. Early in spring the roots are
planted in burrows from two to three

will plant an acre with them. A few
