Hawk Dies I'm Midafr.

Middletown (Ct.) Dispatch to the New York Sun.
The ferry boat Brownstone was churning
her way leisureiy across the Connecticut
to Portland village yesterday, and had just
about reached the middle of the broad
stream when Capt Rowland espied big
fish hawk floating far above. and it be-
hayed queerly. as If it was In distress. In
termittently 1t fioated TRANQUILITY, it's wids
wings outspread and motionless; then It
staggered. but recovered itself instantly
with a hitch, then spun about dizzily. There
was no doubt in the captains mind that
the bird was sorely troubled to keep it's
equilibrium and steerage way, and, glanc-
ing now at his boats course and again at
the blue sky, continued to watch the aerial
traveller.
THE bird is SICK" said the pilot conf
dentiaiiy to himself. Things are about up
with it."
The next moment his conviction was ver-
ifed, for the hawk, which was not less
than 300 feet aloft, suddenly took a violent
dip forward, reeled sideways, let fall it's
pinions, and the next instant shot down to
the river. striking the water with the con-
cussion and impact Of a solid shot. 1t lay
carried swiftly southward by the strong
current.
THE hawk was dead, without doubt,
long before 1t reached the river" affirmed
the captain. land probably" he added, its
death was CAUSED by heart disease"
No one in this region recalls another in
cident in which wild bird, particularly a
bird of prey, perished under similar cir
cumstances; still, experienced poultrymen
say that not infrequently overfed domestic
fowls die of apoploxy. They Just pitch for
ward off their roost and die instantly

AN ANTELOPE HORSE.

He Was Trained for the Sport and He
Knew All the Fine Points.
From Denver Field ard Farm.
81 had a horse" said an old army man,
that had belonged once to the seventh
cavalry, but he had the I. c. brand under
his name, SO he was out Of the service.
Inspected and condemned. He was a reg
ular old plug, but he was all could get
to go hunting on, SO took him. rode
away out into the plains from the fort, and
1 saw a bunch of antelope finally. got
off the horse and dropped the reins on
the ground. expecting the horse to stand
there till I came back. I started off to-
ward the antelope. and was sneaking along
to get shot. when looked round, and I'll
be blamed If that brute of horse hadn't
started off as tight as he could lope.
well says 1, I guess I'm in for
six-mile tramp home 1 cursed that horse
to myself for a while, and then l went
on. Pretty soon I looked up, and I'm
blessed # there wasn't that horse over
the other side of that bunch of antelope
Well, now,' says l, I'd like to know what
the devil that horse thinks he's up to.
around on the other side, and the antelope
saw him and started off toward me. l
caught on at once, and I lay down and
waited. That old horse cut up the most
surprising antics out there and all the
while he kept working those antelope to-
ward me. By and by they got in range
and got two; darned good luck it was,
too. You see, that horse was an old In
dian hunting pony, and he had been trained
to do that way. Well, 1 went back to the
post, and everybody wanted to know how
it happened I had such good luck. But I
didn't tell 'em.
"A few days after I took that same
horse out after prairie chickens. 1t was
the time of the year when the chickens
were flying, and was riding along, when
all of a sudden the critter stopped short,
braced himself up and waited-for what, ]
didn't know. But in a second couple Of
chickens flew up ahead of me, and I was
SO surprised 1 didn't shoot. Well says,
I'll be switched. Here's a horse that's
not only hunting horse, but Is a regular
pointer dog, too And he was. I got my
gun ready, and the next time he stopped
I was right on hand and dropped a bird.
Well. no sooner did that horse see that
bird fall than he galloped of right to
where 1t fell. and all had to do was to
reach off and pick 1t up. He was a great
horse, tell you, and I got lots Of good
hunting with him"

From the st. Louis Republic.
A most remarkable affiiction, and one OF
a nature calculated to make ones flesh
creep has long been endured by an old
lady of the WfIIoby neighborhood near
Columbia, 8. c. The lady's name Is Phoebe
Brown, and for more than one-third Of q
century she has carried a live snake under
the skin of one of her arms. How the
reptile found lodgment in such peculiar
place is as much Of a mystery to Mrs
Brown as it is to the hundreds of people
who annually visit her for the purpose OF
viewing the spot where the unwelconiA
lodger lies encysted. When the lady first
noticed the bow-shaped welt on her arm II
was not more than two inches long, or
larger in diameter than pin. But during
the years that it has safely nestled in her
flesh, absorbing the woman's blood. it has
grown from a mere thread to be a snake
more than foot in length and as large
as a lead pencil. The eyes of the hideoua
creature are plainly visible through tbe
woman's skin. and the scales can be easily
felt by rubbing the fingers along the ridge
formed by the serpent's body.
Physicians pronounce it a most remark.
able freak, and have endeavored, without
success, to prevail upon the old lady to
have it cut out
