Horses WITH Lnng Tail.

! see that there is again an attempt
being made to introduce the fashion of
long-tailod horses. | doubt very much
if it will succeed. Fashion has practi-
cally removed the raison d'etro for
these coudal APPENDICES. The work
ing horse or the horse in the country,
OF course, needs his tail to protect him
self from the flies The fashionable
coach horse these days, on the other
hand, has more careful attention than
used to be bestowed upon child q
few years ago. When in the stable ho
is carefully blanketed to protect him
from the cold draughts OF from the
annoyance of the insects, and when be-
ing driven is protected from the flies
by the driver, especially if he be of
nervous disposition and easily worried
by the pests. In fact, the fashionable
teams are almost uninterruptedly I'M
den the most careful supervision. The
only trouble is that when the horses
get old and broken down and are turned
over to the tender mercies Of some
huskster or horse car line, then the
lack of care will lay them open to the
attacks of the horse flies, and on this
account the objection to docking is
very evident.
Every one who is wealthy enough to
cut off his horses tails should be
humane enough to blow the animals
brains out when their days Of useful
ness in high life are over.
AS to thecruelty of the docking pro-
cess, it is not as bad as the humani-
tartan would lead one to suppose. /
once bought a team of dock-tailed
horses at a big auction sale, and it was
not until the succeeding day that the
coachman discovered that the opera
tion was Of 50 recent date that the
stumps were still raw. The horses suf-
fered in no way nervously, as far as
could be seen, nor did it affect their
appetites or general behavior in the
slightest. Old cavalry officers will
call to mind in the battles Of the late
war that it was not unusual to see
| horses with broken legs, or with hoof
shot off, grazing around after the bat
tie comparatively comfortable. There
is Il good deal of difference between the
nervous organization of horse and
that of man. Docking has objectiona-
ble features, it is true, but the custom
has undoubtedly come to stay. The
growth of the fad in England and on
the Continent proves it.-NeT York

Wet Weather Philosophy.

As | was passing through + street
on a recent showery morning, saw
an umbrella-mender sitting in front
of the door of an Office building, work
ing away on a heap of broken UNI
brellas, which evidently he had col
lected from the tenants inside. The
rain was falling steadily, and the man
must have been wet to the skin be-
fore he returned their property to his
customers. | could not forbear ask
ing him why he thus invited bath.
"Why shouldn't II" he asked in re-
Spouse.
Because it is a bad advertisement
for your trade" said [, "A tailor
should be always we'll dressed, shoe
maker always well shod; by the same
logic, a man who deals in umbrellas
ought to be dry when other persons
are getting soaked with rain ~
you're dead wrong" he answered,
promptly. There's no suggestion Of
positive suffering in old clothes or
well-worn shoes-many people like
them better than new ones. But when
offer to mend a mans umbrella
make great deal more of an impress
sion on him by coming into his pres
ence with Il wet back, He says to
himself at once: is it really so wet
outside? / can't stand that sort of
thing, It would give me my death =
And out comes his umbrellas at once
to be put in repair. SO, you see, l

In answer to recent inquiry made
Of the Secretary of the Interior by
the Commissioner of Education in re-
gard to division of the fund to agri-
cultural colleges in the South, the
Secretary has decided that the division
of the fund as already or hereafter TO
be made by the various State legisla-
lures shall be approved by the depart
~
ment, unless it is apparent that such
suggested division is grossly inequit-
able and that in cases where the State
legislatures have not yet proposed an
equitable apportionment that the
basis of division now in force shall re-
main till the legislative intent regard
ing the matter is made known. In the
case of South Carolina the act of Con
gress of July Goth, 1892, applies not
only to the sum due the State at the
time but to all sums becoming due
under the act of August 30th, 1890.

A Washington letter says; Surpris-
ing news has reached the bureau of
ethnology respecting the recent olsen
tombment of the conqueror, Pizarro,
IN Peru. 1t seems that the corpse ex-
hibits certain abnormalities which are
extremely interesting from the point
Of view of anthropologists. The skull
reveals all the marks of the criminal
type, as recognized by science to-day.
As shown by it the military hero, SO
worshiped and revered even now in
South America, was murderous and
bloodthirsty brute. The Uranium has
even the so-called "fossa of LON
broso, which modern criminologists
have never discovered except in con-
frmed and habitual enemies of society.
The skull is abnormally broad. An
other anatomical popularity is the in
step, which is extraordinarily high.
The latter was a feature of his con-
quering race. 1t recalls the warrior
indefatigable on the march, whether
on the desert tracts of the coast, or in
the vilds Of the Peruvian Cordilleras.
As to his age, reliable evidence is to
the effect that Pizarro was a little
more than seventy yGeEs old when he
died.

HoeE,s LATEST MOVE
Was Blow From His Left on
Editor Stewards Mouth.

When Col. John Hampton Hoge re-
nounced the Democratic party and
allied himself with the Republicans a
great many hard things were said about
him, both by the papers throughout the
country and by individuals. Colonel
Hoge did not forget these slurs, and he
made up his mind to call some Of the
people to account. During the recent
campaign the Evening World here had
paid its respects to the colonel several
times.
Mr.. Charles I Stewart. the editor OF
the World, is gentleman whom Colonel
ing, but IL Is likely that both of them
will remember the meeting for some
time to come. Colonel Hoge WAS con-
versipg with friend On Campbell ave-
nue., near The TIMES building, about
dusk, when Mr.. Stewart and City Ser.
geant Tillett passed by.
Strange to say. they were talking
about the recent publications. As Mr..
Stewart passed the gentleman with Mr..
Hoge remarked that he WAS the editor
of the paper in question. Mr.. Hoge i'm
mediately called to him, and then the
following short but forcible conversation
occurred:
Mr.. Hoge-"Mr. Stewart, you have
persisted In using my name in your pa
per In q manner exceedingly offensive
to me and have borne with it patiently
for the purpose of avoiding any noto-
riety, but 1 have borne with 1t to the
end and give you notice now that the
next time my name appears in your pa
per in manner in the least offensive I
shall hold you personally responsible.
Mr.. Stewart am responsible, sir"
Mr.. Hoge-"Yes, and you are respon-
sible for that which you have published,
nine tenths OF which were id lies"
That ended the vocal part of the pro-
ceedings for the time being. Mr.
Stewart, white with rage, struck at
Mr.. Hoge. The latter warded the blow
off with his right hand and struck Mr..
Stewart terrible blow in the mouth
with his left. At this juncture Mr..
Tillett interfered and grabbed hold of
Mr.. Stewart, at the same time calling
upon some one to hold Mr.. Hoge.
The latter told him that be would
not strike Mr.. Stewart while he was
being held and asked him to turn him
loose, at the same time expressing his
opinion of Mr.. Stewart in ID banner not
at all complimentary to that gentle
man.
Mr.. Tillett refused to release Mr..
Stewart and Colonel Hoge walked off
short distance with some friends. After
Mr.. Stewart had picked up bis hat and
pulled himself together he accompanied
Mr.. Tillett up the street. AS they
walked past where Colonel Hoge was
standing neither one OF the gentlemen
uttered a word.
After the difficulty Colonel Hoge m ade
