In Sheep's Clothing.

One Of the queerest animals in eX-
lstence is now on its way to New York.
It is a woolly horse, covered from head
to hoof with curly wool like that Of a
sheep. This strange equine overcoat
Is Of many shades-white, brown and
gray. The wool is knotted up in tight
little curls all over the horses body, so
that If seen at a distance, you would be
uuite apt to fancy it was an uncommon
ly large sheep. Its head is rather small
pr than that Of most horses. Altogether
Jennie (that is the horses name) Is a
tit subject for a menagerie, and very
likely may yet see the inside Of one In
New York. Jennie was raised In Sshen-
ectady, where her owner made @ great
pct Of her for some years. All the chill
dren in the nelghborhood rode her as
often as they were allowed, and none
Of them ever met with a mishap, for
the horse is as gentle as a kitten. A
New York horse fancier saw Jennie
the other day and purchased her for Il
big sum Of money, intending to exhibit
her in that and other cities.

EaHors Indefinite Sentences.

A very strong argument for the
"indeflnite sentence" OF Grim nails,
with probationary Charles A. Collin
at the recent anniversary meeting OF
the Massachusetts, Prison Association.
Professor Colin regards this system
as, "the foundation corner stcne Of
any rat onal, scientific methods OF
treating prison conve is. " ''The
transformation of the criminal into
a serviceable member Of soc ety." he
said, "is the only effective protection
of soc ETY. against him. The mere
temporary caging of the criminal as a
wild beast is protection to society
for the time be;ng,it is true. But if,
when he is let out Of his cage, he is
worse than when he went in, he may
be more wary and cum ng thereafter,
bat he will be more dangerous to
so :iety than before he was Gagged"

Mint and les Culture.

In some gardens mint is regarded
as a weed; it grows SO luxuriantly
and spreads so much that 1t en-
croaches all over the ground. In
large gardens it is often given a great
deal of latitude, but In small ones it
has to be restricted. This Is gener-
ally done by mailing four boards to-
gether ike a fame and planting 1t
inside this A piecs from eight to
twelve feet long and four feet wide
will furnish mint to meet the whole
Of the demand OF large family.
Those who complain that mint does
not grow freely with them should try
it in this way. The boards should
ba from ten inches to one foot IN
depth, and, if the soil is raised up
Inside half this height and quantity
of grit or sand, and manure Is put in,
st will always grow freely, and by
covering itover in early spring 1t will
be ready very early. Mint may be
raised from seed sown In April, and
it may also be increased by lifting
the roots and dividing and replsnting
them at onca It requires good drain
age, and, where this exists under it,
a TOD dressing Of farm-yard manure
may be put over it every spring, or so
often as it shows signs of becoming
weak. AS a dressing for vaious kinds
Of meats, mint Is great addition to
the menu

5orace Greeley's Request OF Proof
| Reader, Who Was, OF Course, Right.
| Greeley, as Is we'll known, was d
rank on election figures and knew en-
Ectly how every county and town in
! the State was in the hatit OF going. a
slight change in favor Of his own party
lWould ill him with satisfaction. One
| lay, says the New York Express, he
came into the Office overjoyed that the
Republicans had carried Westchester
County in q local election. AS usual,
he wrote an editorial, and put a conf
paratiye table in the middle Of the arti-
lie, compiled from the Tribune alma
lac. When the paper came out next
lay the figures were misplaced, the Re-
! publican vote appearing in the Demo-
cratic column, and vice versa, so that
The comments did not at all fit the case
stated. Mr. Greeley came down In
towering rage, and in whirlwind Of
profanity demanded Of his subordinate
in charge whether there was a proof
reader on the paper and whether any
body in the Office had grain Of sense.
why, yes, Mr.. Greeley; you know
I'D man So-and-So is the proof reader,
and has been for years. But what Il
lie matter"
Matter! Blankety, blank, blank!
hatter! Why, some blankety, blank,
blank has gone to work and changed
tre figures in that Westchester article
so as to make the blankest nonsense
out Of it,"
II don't think anybody would have
| lentured to change your figures, MI.

ter look at the copy before pitching into
the proof reader? You know be is very
careful"
I'll do nothing Of the kind said the
cid man, as he shuffled upstairs. Ill
kick him out Of the composing-Toom. l
won't be made fool Of in this way"
Upstairs there was scene very llke
that below, with the variation that
Greeley told the proof reader that he
ought to be kicked from one END OF the
conlposing-room to the other. With
the proverbial placidity Of proof read
ers and their provoking readiness for
such emergencies, the man assailed
quietly went to the hook and taking
therefrom Greeley's own copy held 1t
under his eyes with the single remark:
Head that, sir"
Greeley did read 1t. There was 81
Itnce for a moment, and then his face
assumed a look Of mingled contempt
and disgust Then he turned around
with his back to the proof reader, lift
ed his coat-tails, and said, loud enough

Tricky Ponies.

The Western ranchman puts a bell
tbout his horses neck as the people of
the East place bells about the necks Of
their cattle, to aid in their detection
when at large. Occasionally, a horse
shows cunning determination to out
wit this precaution of his master. The
stable of the western horse often has
no rafters but the outspread limbs OF
trees; no ceiling but the vault Of
heaven; no flooring but the sod. The
ranchman never had to put food in his
horses manger, and when he wants to
use him he must 60 forth on the range
and seek him in unnumbered stalls.
To aid him in finding his steed
auickly. he sshobbles" him, and puts a
bell about his neck. The intelligent
animal sometimes plays trick on his
master. He gets behind some thick
growing clum of cedar or mesquite, and
stands still, absolutely motion!ess, so
that bis bell will not make the slight
est sound. The man in search Of him
listens intently for the sound Of the
bell. He is sure he knows the sound
of that horses bell from dozen 9TH
ers. He hears nothing. Going fur
ther, he pauses to listen again; thens
not hearing the slightest sound to in
dicate the vicinity of any breathing
creature, the owner of that very intel
ligent animal proceeds to travel much
further than be had anticipated, Won
6ering how ths precious horse could
have strayed so far, all hobbled as he
is. All the while that precious horse
Is in comfortable hiding in some shell
tered nook, If it be winter in cool,
shady place if it be summer-enjoying
the JOKE, or the thought Of the long
Journey or irksome task he has gotten
i'd Of.

OBJECTED 70 THE MoRGUE,
An Injured San Prevails on tho CoroneI
to Await the Result of His Burt.

A policeman at the Nicetown Sta
lion, while patroling his beat yesterday
morning, found what appeared to him
to be dead man lying beside the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and promptly notified the sergeant OF
his discovery, says the Philadelphia
Times. The sergeant telegraphed to
to the coroner to that effect and Dis
srict Deputy Matthews vas sent QUITO
investigate the case. In the meantime
the crew of the inbound train, think
ing to start the body of the unfortu-
nate toward the morgue, loaded it into
the baggage car, and when Matthews
reached the scene be was discounted to
find that his errand was for nothing.
The "corpse" was bowling along to-
ward Thirty-second and Market streets,
surrounded by the baggage man, con-
ductor, and travelling salesman, who
made remarks about the deceased.
Suddenly they were startled to hear
the object c" their conversation re-
mark:
"Where am I going"
"To the morgue," responded the con.
ductor, when he recovered.
"Oh, I am, am II" sarcastically re.
sponded the object. "You take me to
hospital"
The baggage man tried to show the
sufferer how wrong it would be to
change the order of his consignment,
but he insisted on hospital, and so he
was sent to the Presbyterian. he had
not been there long when Deputy Mat
thews, breathless, but triumphant, hay
ing "nailed' the corpse, rushed in and
demanded:
"Where's the man struck at Nice
town."
"There," said a doctor, pointing to
the patient, and Matthews was pre-
pairing to grab him and rush him into
The dead wagon when the lively corpse
demanded:
"Who are your
deputy Coroner" courteously re.
.poned Matthews, proceeding with his
preparations.
"See here" said the injured man.
this is too much; I'm not dead"
"Ain't your said Matthews. "Why.
you're reported a corpse two hours
ego"
The man protested against any suci
proceeding and Matthews went away.
The man gave his name at the hospital
rs John Hartley of Michigan street,
Nicetown. He does not know how he
received his injuries, which are serious,
but it is supposed that he was struck
by a train.

AN INDIANS CHILDHOOD.
Many Adventurous Rides in Queer Convey
anceS.

| Many Adventurous Rides In Queer Convey
ances.
One of the earliest recollections O!
ny adventurous childhood is the ride
/ had on pony's side, says a writer
in ST. Nicholas. It seems strange tc
think of riding in this manner; new
theless, the Indian mode OF life
made it possible. l was passive in
the whole matter. a little girl
cousin of mine was put in bag and
suspended from the horn Of an In.
dian saddle, but her weight must be
balanced or the saddle would not re-
main on the animals back. There
fore, / was put into a sack and made
to keep both the saddle and Che girl
in the proper position! I scarcely
objected to the manner Of the ride,
for had very pleasant game OF
peek-a-boo with the little girl, until
we came to a big snowdrift, where
the D, or beast was stuck fast, and
began to lie down. Then it was not
50 nice.
This was the convenient and prim
tive way in which some mothers
packed their children for winter
joarneys. However cold the weather
might he the inmate Of the fur-lined
sack was usually very com :orta ble-
at least, l used to think so. [ be-
lieye | was treated to all the preca.
rious Indian conVeyances, and, as q
boy, l enjoyed the dog-trarois ride as
much as any. These travois con-
sisted of a set of rawhide strips Sc
curely lashed to the tentpoles, which
were harnessed to the sides of the an
imal as if he stood between shafts,
while the free ends were allowed to
drag on the ground. Both ponies
and a large kind Of dogs were used as
beasts of burden, and they carried in
this way the smaller children as well
as the baggage.
This mode of travelling for children
was possible only during the sum-
mer, and as the dogs were sometimes
unreliable, the little ones we're eX-
posed to a certain amount Of danger.
For instance, whenever train OF
dogs had been travelling for a long
time, almost perishing with the heat
and their heavy loads, a glimpse OF
water would cause them to forget
everything else for it. Some Of them,
in spite Of the screams Of the women,
would swim with their burdens into
the cooling stream, and ] was thus
not inlreouently compelled to partake
Of an unwilling bath.

He's O Youthful Voyager.

Willie Mackin is q 13-year old, very
small for his age, who blew in here the
other day from Winnipeg, says the Du-
!uth Commonwealth. The police picked
him up at the Windsor, where he was
'gying to get a job "bell hoplin,'' as be
expressed 1t.
He's a bright.eyed, freckled-faced
ied-haired urcbin. He rode on freight
some distance out Of Winnipeg and
then hid under the seat of a passenger
car, He is without a relative In the
world, and two years ago was sent out
of Ramsgate, England, with 100 other
waits to live on the Manitoba prairies.
BE didn't like it on the farm, so he
arifted into Winnipeg. That place
1idn't suit him, so he left it.
Willie thought it very funny to see
the street cars running here Sunday.
It was so different from Winnipeg.
Then be wanted to 60 to church, so the
chief let him 60. a lumberman with
small purse and big heart shared
lis bed with Willie at the Columbia
Hotel and fed him and logged him out
IN new underclothes. When be showed
up at headquarters tie Chief fixed him
,ut with bath, and now Capt. Miller
IS devising way to send him hack to
Winnipeg, for which be has a warmer
,pot than he thought.
You think Willie's lot is a hard one
It is. And yet there are lots of pleas
ant spots in it. Friends are bobbing
up every day to give him lift, how
aver small.
"How many meals have you missed,
Willie, since you came to nulu:h?" he
vas asked.

confidence and the information about

not seem to force your affairs upon

Electric Energy of the Thunder Cloud.

The average thunder cloud is estl'
mated by Professor McAdie to contain
about 800 horsepower of electric
energy. A fash of lightning a quarter
of a mile long practically means an
electromotive force of millions Of
volts. 4 fash occurs when the cleo
trical strain on the air is l.37 pounds
per square foot, so that the total cleo
tric energy in cubic mile Of the
strained air just on the point OF flash.
ing is about 70, 900, ,0OC foot tons, that
is to say, the energy required to raise
a ton 70,OO0,OOO feet high. In these
days of transformers and "home-
made lightning" Mr.. McAdie asks
whether he can Use this immense store
of electricity in the hlgh atmosphere.
It might be brought down by modl-
tication of Franklin's kite. Professor
Trowbridge shows that discharge
keeps in the same path for 39o-lo0o

able to render it fit for practical use.
