Mrs. Williams always asserted that
whenever her husband proffered a rea-
sonable request she complied with it as
promptly as possible. When asked on
one occasion what she meant by this
reservation, she said, with . laugh:
''Well, once in awhile Mr.. Williams
makes what call an unreasonable re-
quest. For instance, he came home o
few days ago and said he had seen a
woman on the street whose dress he ad-
mired, and he wished would have ono

Tell me how it was made. and I
certainly will, answered.

THE INTELLIGENT HORSE.
In tho Cavalry Charge His Own Fury ]
Half the Battle.

In tho Cavalry Charge His Own Fury Il
Half the Battle.
The fiery spirit of the horse has been
entirely conquered. The hunter and the
charger, when in the excitement Of the
chase and battle, are far from being
nero dummies on which their master
rides. The judgment Of q good hunter
is oftentimes better than that Of his
town bred rider, who. by attempted
guidance, brings both to grief.
Houssay relates that wild horses meet
ing an equine friend in harness are
wont to eambol about as though invit-
ing him again to freedom, and that IL
his driver tries forcing them away with
his whip they will crowd closer, bite
the traces and kick the vehicle until
they have released their captive brother.
The Tyrolese, in 1909, SO history tells,
took q number Of Bavarian horses and
used them in their service, whereupon
they suddenly turned back to their old
ranks, and nothing would stop them.
The civil war furnished instances Of
this nature.
Dr.. Romanes, ON the authority Of Dr.
John Rae, quotes an instance that &C.
Cured several years ago A Shetland
pony, when purchased, had never been
shod. It was shod at once Later it
came to the blacksmith shop unattended
and unhaltered, and when driven away
returned again. The smith finally found
one shoe gone. He promptly shod the
foot. when the pony stamped it q few
times, as if settling the shoe into better
position, and then, with happy little
neigh, trotted off home.
Professor Claypole Of Ohio tells Of a
Toronto horse that was feeding beside a
stream, over which its mistress started
on foot plank. She fell in where the
water was deep. Instantly the animal
trotted up, put down his head, and seiz-
ing her held her with his teeth until
help came. Even q mule, that is gener.
ally thought to move only when dubbed
and then in the wrong direction, is not
q whit less knowing -Lewiston Jour.

STORY OF A WEDDING.

know . man named Jack Barnes,
who was married one Thanksgiving
day, writes Howard Fielding in the
Boston Herald. His wife had quite q
number Of rich relations. One Of them
was In the furniture business. His pres
emit was undoubtedly the handsomest Of
all. It was mahogany bedstead big
enough for a Mormon elder and carved
In the highest style of the art. The
happy couple wa enraptured when
they saw it. The exhibition occurred in
the store Of the furniture man, for Of
course such q thing couldn't be sent to
the brides fathers house like sugar

subsequently moved the bedstead told
me that it weighed nine tons. but I
think he exaggerated. Moreover, it was
certainly rs massive piece Of furniture

the generous donor had been unable to
sell 1t and had had it numbering up his
salesroom until he had grown sick of
the sight of il.
The bridegroom gave directions for
its removal to the Harlem fiat. He then
thanked his wife's uncle for this mag
nificent gift with tears in his eyes.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes returned
from their wedding journey, they found
the mahogany bed already established
in their fat. They knew it was there,
because they were unable to open the
parlor door. The bed was inside, and
there was an alley a foot wide all the
way around it between it and the wall.
This may seem improbable to q person
who does not know much about New
York flats of the $40 a month grade,
but the sophisticated will only wonder
that the bed got in there at all I am
told that tho men who set it up had to
climb out of q window afterward, but
I think this is an exaggeration, because
the tall, carved bedboard entirely COW

SKATING IN CHINA.


Its Ctility In Carrying On the lateral
Trade Of the Country.
Stating is business with the China
man rather than a sport. for he con-
trivcs to turn frozen canals into conven-
icEt highways for his merchandise, rs
they do in Holland and Denmark. Pas
ser-ers are carried in slcdge chairs, pro-
pe I'd BY an active Celestial on skates,
and there Is no more enjoyable way Of
making q tour round tho II miles of
wall which enc;rcles the ancient city Of
Picking than in o sledgo of this descrip-
ton. Tho canals afford facilities for loco
motion which are not to be found in the
dirty streets, crowded as they are with
overworked humanity.
1t is not likely that the Celestials will
ever astonish the world with q rival
to Our Smarts or Sees, for they do not
aim at great speed OF progression, but
they are nevertheless fairly qualified
adopts in their way, and there have been
some efforts made to introduce ice yachts
out there, which would indeed DO o
grand thing not only for sport, but for
the transport Of goods at time when
all traffic is practically as q stnndstill,
owing to the impossible condition Of the
wresched caIseways which do duty in
China for highroads. There are over 20
miles Of the Pci-Ho annually covered
with ice several feet thick, bank to
bank, extending from Tung- Chau, the
port of Picking, to the mouth Of tho riv-
CT at Taku, in the gulf of Chill. What
noble race course this would form for
our fen skaters!
1t is not commonly known that the
capital of China is icebound for five
months out of the 12, or that the stolid
looking Chinese could ever be graceful
skaters, yet both these facts are well es-
tablished The Chinese use o very infe-
rior style Of skate, of their own manu-
facture-amere chunk of wood arranged
to tie ON the shoe and shod with rath-
er broad strip of iron. There is no at
tempt at elegance Of design or at any
thing approaching q spring fastening.
A pair of 'Acmes, when shown by the
writer to some native students in the
Chinese capital, produced unbounded as
constituent and admiration by their
neatness and strength. On the other
hand, the very cheapness and simplicity
of the common native made article tend
to make skating general-Pittsburg
