AbroRating 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" -ne 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 l must say I
don't like"
well" ventured the attorney, II pre-
sumo a handsome woman isn't especially
complimented by being left a Pigg."
II should say not" she laughed.
Now, what l came to see you about was
whether or not must apply to the legis-
lsture to get it changed"
"Um-er." he hesitated as if wrestling
with a great legal problem. ''um-r-
yes, but an easier way is to apply to q
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

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 Inc "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 on of
the best reinsmen in America, once made
the mistake, through i'll temper or bad
Judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert a
severe III with the whip, and that sin
gle blow put an end to his usefulness as a
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 one ought to exercise pa
thence, 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.

Switchboard.

SWITCHBOARD is popular enough in Eng
land and Scotland and used to be popular
here but it is doubtful whether it ever
penetrated this country as far as Buffalo
or Pittsburg. II obtained here in drink
ing saloons run by S~cotchmen. and the
last of the boards are now to be found
in one such place in Brooklyn and a very
few in this city. 1t is the same game as
that which is played on shipboard, but IN
reality both are forms of the old Scotch
sport of curling. Switchboard as it is
played most commonly is played with
n pound weights on a long thick board
kept well sanded. 1t requires skill to
slide the weights to just the right place,
and it requires more skill for the other
fellow TO knock them off after they get
there.-New York Sun.

the BALLOON IN BATTLE.
How 1t IL Managed and Information Trans.
mitted and Received.

Balloon and wagon have formed a juno
ton and are ready TO start with the
troops. Away goes the wagon, with the
balloon hanging on 10 its tail, while the
attendant sappers on each side keep IL
steady. The train moves along at a good
round pace, easily keeping up with or
ever passing the infantry, and makes for
the particular spot at which II has been
determined TO commence balloon opera
tons, which is usually on the top of a
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is soon 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 1t rises
and allowed sometimes 70 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
a 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 hen be ex-
changed, or any other operation can be
carried on, and then the men run the
pole back, and up shoots the balloon
again many hundreds of feet into the
air, without having been away from its
exalted position more than a few minutes.
But it is not necessary to lower the bal
loon III 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 can be sent to 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 a small sandbag, is
sent iuttering down. The human voice,
it may also be added, can be heard both
from a considerable height and depth. so
that verbal communicated is not difficult
if there is no wind.-Good Words.
