Horses That Know the Time Tables,

From the Cincinnati Enqurer.]
 Anderson, Ind, Dec. 5.-The Pence Transfer company's omnibus horses for several years have been driven over the same routes for thirty-two trains daily. They have become accus- toned to the train schedules, and when the Big Four made marked changes several weeks ago they entered pro- tests when they were not taken from their stalls at the same time or driven to the old depot. They have made the same rounds for both the Pan Handle and Midland, and also know exactly when the trains on those roads go.
 Severals days ago the driver was late for the Cincinnati mail train. The horses waited until within few min utes of train time, and then struck out of their own accord. They made the calls at the Doxey, Anderson, Griffith and Spencer hotels, and then to the post-office for the mail. It was thrown on, thinking the driver was on the seat. They then started on a run for the depot, and turning, backed the bus to the platform and stood waiting for the driver, who appeared a few min utes later much chhgrined. They did not arrive a minute too early for the train, however. and the mail was

memorial site on county property. Meriden. for instance. has a deceased Mayor Lewis whose memory will long be cherished there. And even some of the towns might want to Set up some of their departed selectmen.
 MT. Jacobs added: Understand that am not disposed to bellttle Harry Lewis or underrate his services to New Haven. On the contrary should hope that the city might always have may ors with as much sense and sand" as he had. and in my opinion 1t will not be long before a mayor of this city will have an opportunity to deserve a me morial as much as Lewis does. Let us hope that he will seize that opportuni- ty.
 If MT. Jacobs Is right, and we have no doubt he is, the County commission CTS have exceeded their powers in try ing to oblige the memorial committee and in their devotion to Abstract Art Perhaps if the court decides that they have the committee will not be entirely discouraged, but will go to the senators and representatives of the county and ask them to properly appreciate Ab- stract Art. And if this is done we have no doubt that 1t will be discov- cred that there are more than four people in New Haven who do not per ceive that Abstract Art depends for existence upon connection with county property.

LIGHT ON 4 SITE.

MT. Hiram Jacobs, long a County commissioner and now a County treas urer, knows all about counties and some about Abstract Art So his views concerning the great memorial site controversy have unusual interest and value. In a conversation with a. repre- sentative of this paper on Saturday he shed good deal of light on the situa- tion. He said, among other things:
 The impression seems to prevail that because the County of New Haven has seen fit to place the court house we'll back from the street or sidewalk line, the Intervening space has become pub- lie property in a highway sense. This is no more true than in the case of an individual property owner who leaves his front yard open to the street, The city of New Haven has just as much jurisdiction over the open space in front of the court house as it has over the lawn of such an individual, The Board of Public Works very properly qualified It's permission by inserting the proviso concerning its Jurisdiction,
 The County commissioners have no more right to grant permission for the location of the Lewis memorial there than they would have to mortgage the land. The senators and representa- tives of the county could authorize . sale or mortgage of the premises t
 can authorize the comnlissiony
 permit the placing of the
 there. And no other power On eafn can do it. There are four other cities in the county and any of them might with about sausl proprietz ask for a

give weight and brilliancy. Indeed, any effect that will tend to catch the light and add brilliancy seems to be no longer tawdry, but extremely select. Satin, of all materials the one that most reflects all the brilliancy Of light, is a favorite at the moment, and ec- centric effects in moire or in the water ing of silk are sought after. Rhine stones are in demand and flash every where, from the top of my lady's bon net to the tips of her tiny shoes. At every point women's raiment coquettes with the sun to make sparks and glim- mers of brilHancy.
 Yet another item of elegant showi- ness is attained by means of the beau tiful changeable silks. The dinner dress of this picture is made more handsome by this trick of weaving, its silk being striped and dotted, besides showing changeable hues that are brilliant enough to almost shame the rainbow. It's gored skirt is plain but for a border of black velvet around the hem, and the bodice has a small decollette whose point is trimmed with folded black veil vet. Bands of lace ornament both front and back, as shown, the ends meeting in the centre where they are held in place by velvet rosettes. Similar ros- cites are put at the top, and the elbow sleeves are finished with velvet bands and with rosettes matching those on the bodice. A folded velvet belt com pletes the gown, which is especially handsome and we'll suited for plump figure.
 Tight fitting bodices of fur are seen with great lego mutton sleeves of vel vet or satin. There is always the sus- picion that last years fur has been made over, but, considering how much fur costs, why shouldn't it be made over as long as there is hair of it left to swear by. FLORETTE.

Land on Your Feet.

You take cat up by the tail And whirl him round and round, And hurl him out into the air, Out Into space profound; He through the yielding atmosphere Will many whirls complete, But when he strikes upon tne ground He'll land upon his feet. Fate takes man, just like cat, And, with more force than grace, It whirls him wriggling round and
 round
 And hurls him into space. And those who fall upon the back Or land upon the head Fate lets them lie there where they They're just as good dead. But some there be that, l.. the cat, Whirl round and round and round, And go gyrating off through space, Until they strike the ground; But when at last the ground and they Do really come to meet, You'll always find them right side up They land upon their feet. And such a man walks off erect, Triumphant and elate, And with courage in his heart He shakes his fist at Fate. Then Fate, with a benignant smile Upon its face outspread, Puts forth its soft, caressing hand And pats him on the head. And he's Fate's darling from that day, His triumph is complete; Fate loves the man who whirls and
 whirls,
 But lands upon his feet. That man, whate'er his ups and downs, Is never wholly spurned, Whose perpendicularity Is never overturned.

An experiment with ball bearings was recently made in Canada. street car, fitted with ball bearings was drawn distance of several hundred feet by men pulling on three strands of ordinary sewing thread. A carriage manufact- urer put another style of ball bearings on the axles of a coach ordinarily pulled by four horses. A trained dog was hitched to the pole, and he drew the coach around the yard with little ef- fort. The combination of pneumatic tires and ball bearings would evidently relieve much of the strain now put on horses drawing heavy vehicles.
