STRENGTH OF THE SWAN.
An Experience Illustrating the Force Of a
Blow From n Swans Wing.


We all know the tradition about
the power of a swans wing-that
its blow will break a mans leg. I
questioned a man who has much to
do with swans about the credibility
of the tale, and he told me that he
I for one was ready to believe it and
thought that any other man who had
received such a blow from q swans
wing as he had suffered would be
likely to believe it also.
He was summoned from his cot
tage by the news that one of his
cygnets was in trouble. A boy had
been amusing himself with the ele-
CANT sport of giving the cygnets
meat attached to long string. When
the cygnet had swallowed the meat
well down, the boy would pull it up
again by means of the string. 1t was
great fun for the boy, and the cygnet
was unable to express its feelings in
telligibly. On the occasion in ques-
ton, however, the lump of meat
stuck. 1t would not come, and the
boy, fearing consequences, had let
slip the string and bolted. The cyg-
net tried to swallow the string, but
began to choke before it got to the
end. AT this juncture my friend was
summoned to its aid and simultane-
ously, as it appeared, the stately par
ent of the cygnet, who was swim
ming in the pond close by, perceived
that something was amiss with it's
offspring. 1t swan to the bank and
commenced making it's way to the
young ones assistance.
But tho swan S method of progress
sion on land is as awkward and slow
as on the water it is graceful and
swift. The swanherd was the first
to reach the cygnet, and soon seeing
the trouble had calculated to re-
move it before the parent came I'D
with him. But his calculations had
moderated the length of the string
or the pedestrian speed Of the swan.
just as he had succeeded in extricat-
ing the lump of meat from the gullet
of the distressed youngster tho old
bird caught him blow with its wing
on that part of tho person which is
most exposed to attack when a man
IS STOPPING over and the onset is
made from behind. He was knocked
over on his face, and continuing the
impetus received from the swan by
scuttling over the grass on his hands
and knees was able to escape from
the birds fury, which was soon
transferred to solicitude for it's little
one. But the blow had been suffi-
GENTLY powerful to mako the sitting
posture uninviting for several DAYS
and to incline him to give credence
to any legends about tho strength of
swans wing. -Macmillan's Maya
zine.

that's subject that interests me.
Then he took up his hat and bade

An Old Prescription

The crowd had gathered about a
horse and buggy in the middle of
the street. The horse had balked.
"Tie string around his ear" said
one of the bystanders. ut gives
him something else to think of. ]
never knew it to fail"
A string was produced and wound
tightly round one of the animals
ears.
1t had no effect.
"Blindfold him." suggested an
other.
A bandage was tied over his eyes
and an effort made to start him.
Same result.
Back him."
HE won't back" said the exas-
perated owner. II tried that"
"Try him with an ear Of corn
The ear of corn failed to move
the obstinate horse.
"I'll see if l can't persuade him
some other way" said the exasper-
ated owner of the animal.
He took whip and belabored
the beast with it till somebody
threatened to have him arrested.
Then he kicked him awhile.
All in vain.
Finally a benevolent-looking old
gentleman forced his way through
the crowd and said:
I'll have seen a great many balky
horses started by building fire
under them. Can you get some
straw or shavings?"
A boy was sent to neighboring
furniture store for some excelsior.
He came back presently with a
huge armful. 1t was placed on the
ground under the horse and light
ed match touched to it.
AS the first feeble flame rose from
it and the smoke began to curl about
his legs the horse unbent a little.
He turned his head, took a calm
survey of the situation, and when
the combustible stuff burst into a
big blaze he moved forward about
six feet, in full possession of his
faculties, and without any unneces-
sary haste, and stopped again.
And the elegant buggy was
damaged twenty-five dollars worth
by the flames before it occurred to
anybody to scatter the blazing
stuff.
And then an old colored man in
a faded suit of second hand clothes
and hat with half brim gone,
went out and spoke kindly to the
high spirited animal, rubbed his
nose, patted him on the neck,
climbed into the damaged buggy,
and said, "Git along sonny"
And the horse moved off at a |
brisk trot, with head high in the

A .Thousand.Year Clock.

Herr A. Noil of Berllngen, Ger
many, has constructed the most
marvellous time-piece that was ever
evolved from the human mind.
Calculations, based on two years Of
solid going, prove what the maker
claims for his wonderful clock, viz:
That it will run for ten thousand
years without winding. Hands on
the dial point to the time of day,
the day, the week, months, seasons
and years. 1t also calculates the
changes in the moon and tells when
the sun is "fast" or "slow." The
clock is the result of five years of
patient arduous labor.

Woman in War.

1t is a somewhat discreditable
fact that nation which thinks so
highly of it's woman-kind as does
this one, should have taken so lit
tie care to publicly honor its ma
tional heroes. 1t is high time that
some one spoke word for Molly
Pitchers claim to commemoration
in stone or bronze. It dosen't take
very long to tell her history. She
was born in Cork, emigrated to New
York, secured a place as a domestic,
accompanied her husband into the
continental army, cooked and car
ried water for the troops in camp,
fought with them in battle, took
her good mans place beside his
field-piece at Monmouth when he
fell, received a sergeant's commits
sion for her valor from Gen. Wash
ington, was made a half-pay officer
for life by Congress, lived in a hut
at West Point, died there, and was
buried--in the potter's field!
1t is not necessary to enter into
any discussion of Mrs. Pitchers last
days. Whether by frugality she
could have lived in a better place
or been buried in a better place is
of little consequence now. She
did good work both in menial ca
pacity and as soldier. She was
woman Of humble birth, from a
foreign shore, and at the time when
immigrants are held accountable
for all the evil in the country, it
would be good thing to build a
monument to keep alive the men,
ory Of Mollie Pitchers brave deeds.
The woman in battle has never
had much recognition. Men fol-
lowed Joan Of Arc as long as she
was successful and forsook her in
the hour Of distress. Men have
often forgotten to mention wom-
ans deeds of daring in their his
tories. Even in our late war, when
they we're supposedly kept out of the
ranks, many a one battled for lib
erty and union under the name and
uniform of a man, and only when
death or grievous injury came, was
the secret revealed.-Ex.
