SENATOR sTANFoRD's HORSES.
The Man Who Got His Deserts for Kick
ing One of Them.

The Man Who Got His Deserts for Kick
ing One of Them.
In employing men to work at Palo
Alto the late senator gave them the
most strict orders. They were told,
says the San Francisco Examiner,
never to strike, kick or whip a horse,
and his instructions to his men were:
Always do a thing little better than
anybody else and you will succeed.
When you handle horse treat him a
little better than anyone else When
you breed horse breed him to a little
better stock each time"
1t was in this way that Stanford rev.
olutlonized the horse breeding of the
country. He never allowed one of his
men to ill-use horse, and they knew
IL. There are never noise or blows
around the Palo Alto stables and the
horses are never frightened. To show
his feelings towards his horses, the
late Henry Vrooman once told of an
occurrence when he was dining with
Senator Stanford. Just after the din
ner one of the drivers insisted that he
must see the senator. He was ushered
in, with blood over his face, which was
badly cut. John knocked me down."
explained the man, referring to one of
the trainers.
What did you do?" asked the sena-
tor.
Nothing" replied the man.
But you must have done something;
want the truth" persisted the SEN
ator.
Il kicked horse and John knocked
me down." said the man.
Those were Johns instructions, and
l think he did just right" said the sem

To Keen Silk.

Articles made Of silk should not be
hept folded in white paper, as the
chloride of lime which is frequently
used in bleaching the paper will some
times destroy the color of the silk.
Blue, brown or a glossy kind of a yei-
lowish paper is the best to select for
this purpose. A white satin dress or
cloak should always be wrapped up in
blue paper, with an outer covering of
brown paper sewn together at the
edges 1t is never advisable to keep
lengths of silk long before having them
made into dresses, etc, as the silk is
apt to cut and split at the folds, espe-
G;ally if it is thickened and stiffened

a River Flowing Inland.

On the African shore, near the Gulf
of Alden, and connecting the Lake of
Assal with the main ocean, may be
found one of the most wonderful rivers
in the world. This natural curiosity
in the shape of q river does not flow to
but from the ocean toward the inland.
The surface of Lake Assal is nearly
seven hundred feet below the sea level,
and it is fed altogether by this para
doXical river, the latter being about
twenty-five miles in length. 1t is said
to be wonderful fact that this river
of immense volume Especially at high
tide) furnishes exactly enough water
to countcrbalance the extraordinary
evaporation of the lake, and that in
consequence the lakes surface re-
mains at a uniform level year after
year.

They Are Guided to Their Food by Their
Remarkable Power OF Sight.
In the month of December, as our
party was ascending the gorge which
leads to Petra from the Wady-el-A rabah,
one of our camels suddenly dropped
down dead. says writer in the Srec-
tator. This was in the evening, and
We returned to our camp without sue
eeeding in our object that day. But
early next morning we started again
for Petra, and on reaching the carcass
of the dead camel in the early dawn we
found about a dozen vultures congre-
gated around 1t, some Of which had al.
ready gorged themselves and were al
most unable to fly. Now, when the
camel dropped down, none of these
birds were in sight; but here next morn

There could have been no smell of car

In order to account for the assem-

ADDRESS OF THE EIGHTEEN.
THE SIMPLE STATEMENT WHICH DROVE

Following is the full text Of the address issued

and his followers:
New-York April g 1895.
To the Republican Voters Of the State of New-Iork
The status Of the Republican party in Newly rk
City has OF late been the subject or so much dls-
cussion and comment that 1t seems proper TO lay
before the Republicans of the State the true cond-
ton OF affairs Ia this city.
The fact is that the Republican party OF the state
has gained 5000 Republican voters on state issues
in the city OF NewYork.
The result OF the election In this city In Novem-
Der last has been regarded by some as victory
for the Republican party to the extent or the ma
jority of 5000 for Mayor Strong while others
believe II manifestation OF municipal spirit
in way connected with party Issues, ana not IN
dcative Of Republican successes In the future

sentiment which resulted in the appointment or the

part!sanshlp and the political bodies which united

absolute necessity OF laying aside party bias 1t
