cushion of her mouth, regardless of

ance have wondered, "Now, if one
of those pins lodged in that dress
makers throat, how should 1 attempt
to extricate it.
To-day am wiser. If there were a
brisk fire at hand, / should instantly
proceed to make stiff little dumpling
of flour and water, bake it till it was
quite hard, and then give the unfor-
tunate victim piece about the size OF
a small walnut to swallow.
The chances are that the point of
the pin would adhere to this, and loose
its tension of the flesh. Another thing
to do in the event of swallowing pin
or tack is to make stiff poultice and
to swallow quite a quantity. The Gen

Horse as a Reasoning Animal.

"It is q mistaken idea that none but
human beings can reason and that
dumb animals have not that power,
said Professor Albert A. Palmer, of
Buffalo.
"I am fully prepared to demon
strate that the animals inferior to man
have reasoning faculties, and that
what is generally termed instinct plays
an important part in their doings and
actions.
Let me give single example. /
have friend of the name of Down.
ing, who owns string of valuable
race horses. In his string is horse
known as Speedwest. A day or SO be-
fore race i'll which the horse is en-
tered he generally sends him out on
the track mounted by stable boy for
a little preparatory work. This
horse will not take kindly to his work,
and no amount of persuasion with
whip or spur can get him away from a
common canter.
81 noticed this popularity in the
animal, and one day suggested to
Downing that perhaps the horse knew
that he was not expected to race, and
for that reason could not understand
exactly what was required of him.
prevailed upon him to dress the stable
boy in the colors usually worn in a
race and try the horse again. He did
SO, and the boy was placed in front of
the animal for a moment that he might
see the cOlors.
"The result was that when the boy
mounted again the horse broke at the
word of command and set off at long
swinging gallop, which he increased to
run, finishing the work under II
strong pull. Another stable boy was
put up without the colors, and the
horse refused TO leave the Looping gait
at which he started out, A second
time the colors were used and again
the animal set out at a rate of speed
calculated to break the record.
"What do you call that, instinct or
reasoning? / contend That the horse
had a rational faculty which he exer-
cised at will He knew that without
the colors he had nothing in particular
to gain by extending himself to IL
swift run. When the colors were put
on the horse reasoned that there was
some object in view. He reasoned
that he was already prepared for n
race and made his pace accordingly
without being urged. st Louis

There is cross-country stage line
from Abbott Village, Me-, ON the Pts
cataquis River, to Bingham, on the
Kennebec, the only intervening settle
ments being Kingsburg and Mayfeld,
both such small villages that they are
scarcely distinguishable from the sur
rounding country. The length of the
route is over twenty-five miles, and it
is doubtful, declares the New York
Post, if there are many more than fifty
occupied dwelling-houses on the main
road along the line.

CurIous ANATOMY Of the Snake.

The anatomy of the snake is pc.
culiar, and has much to do with its
peculiar motion. The ribs are loosely
articulated with the vertebre, and are
movable. By bending the body in
lateral curves, which is the only mode
of motion, and not the vertical bend
ing, as many think, the scales, which
are attached to the ends of the ribs,
are separated, and, by their free
edges, take hold upon the ground.
When the body is Strengthened out,
the ends of the ribs approach each
other, and SO force the body forward,
then, by the bending of the other side,
this movement is repeated, and so the
snake glides along. The same move.
ment of the ribs and scales forces the
animal through the water, as it swims
with the head above the surface, and
with its body slightly submerged

group of miners who, with jests and
ieers, had met her supplications for
charity.
"Get out of this!" one shouted,
"We have had enough of you"
'She's got plenty of money!" cried
another.
"Wears diamonds in the city,
sneered third.
"Get out No beggars allowed !"
they all shouted.
"Muerte los gringos!" repeated
the woman, with shrek which would
have chilled the blood of men unused
TO her vicious ways. The crowd pushed
and jostled her, and laughed at her
murderous denunciation.
Manager France, of the Bull Do
mingo, heard the disturbance between
the miners and the miserable old wo-
man as he came up the gulch.
Here, my good woman, said he,
"here are two silver dollars. You had
better not stay around here" he
added, kindly, as she took the money
and called blessings npon his generous
soul. 1.-The men are not used to giving
aims, and they will only treat you un-

dollars to help out the payroll of the

keeper, who had been keeping a slate
for nearly three months for the ac-
commodation of workmen on that

''It's a woman as always breaks n
suckers heart" urged n miner. And
then the crowd fell to discussing the
material affairs of camp, and for a
time forgot the Mexican woman who
occasionally came up from Durango
on begging expedition.
Sonora Rosalina Ortiz once enjoyed
a happy home in the City of Mexico,
her birthplace. She had all the OPP
portunities of education, both in
Spanish and English, and in her early
married life had travelled much. But
misfortune came to her in the death
of her husband and two of their three
children, after the loss of all the prop
erty they possessed. They had for
several years made their home in the
United States, where Senior Ortiz had
died, leaving his widow penniless.
Poverty and sin were her undoing,
and when the Colorado mining fever
filed the mountains with fortune
seekers of high and low degree, Sonora
Ortiz drifted to Durango. She had
sunk so low in vice and crime that
she was accounted well fitted for any
thing from begging and petty thiev-
ing, even to the cutting of throat.
She was married TO hardened char
acter known as 'Robber Dan, an
American whose life both in and out
of the penitentiary was series of
misdeeds. He had earned his title as
she had earned hers They were well
mated in their criminal careers,
though the woman thus far had known
no more of prison life than is afforded
by county jails
The ill-treatment she had received at
the hands and tongues of the miners
at Rico had burned into her soul like
hot iron, though the wound was
largely healed by the soft words and
silver SO kindly bestowed by John
France, But, since she was not likely
