tlesnake The next morning the frog
was out Of sight, but the rat was still
there and apparently very indifferent to
the snakes presence. The rat remained
undisturbed all that day. but the gro
ceryman confidently expected the snake

night. In this, however he WAS mis-
taken. The next morning when he ex-
amined the box he found the snake dead
and the rat pcrchod upon its head. A
large place in the rattlesnake's hide
showed that the rat had satisfied his
hunger with dish of rattlesnake. The
box gave evidence Of a astruggle between
the snake and the ras, and the marks
upon the snakes body showed that the
rat had been quicker with his teeth
than the snake had been with its fangS.
The rat was uninjured and was kept as

A DAPPeR LITTLE WARRIOR.
Brave but Dumpy Old Lord saltoun, the
Hero of Hougomont.

In a. $50 long gone by days brave old
Lord SaltOun, the hero Of Hougomont,
resided during the fishing season in the
mansion house Of Auchinroath, on tlo
high ground at tho mouth OF the Glen
of Rothes. One morning, some five and
forty years ago, my father droNU to
breakfast with the old lord, and took
me with him. Not caring TO send the
horses 10 the stable, he left me outside
IN the dogcart when he entered the
house. As ! waited, rather sull1ily-for
was very hungry-thcre came out ON
10 the doorsteps n very queer looking
old person, short Of figure, round as Il
ball, his head sunk between very high
and rounded shoulders. and with short,
stumpy legs. He was curiously attired
in whole colored suit Of gray, droll
shaped Jacket, the great collar of which
reached far up the back Of his head,
surnounted by pair Of voluminous
brceches, which suddenly frightened ut
the knee | imagined him to be the
butler in morning diShabille, and when
no accosted me good naturedly, asking
TO whom the dogcart and myself be-
longed, I answered him somewhat
shortly, and then ingenuously suggested
that he would be doing me kindly act
if he would go and fetch me ont hunk
Of bread and meat, for / was enduring
tortures Of hunger.
Then he swore, and that with vigor
and huency, that il was a shame that |
should have been left outside, called a
groom and bade me alight and come in
doors with him. demurred-I had got
the paternal injunction to remain with
the horse and cart. II am master here y
exclaimed the old person impetuously,
and with further strong language he ex-
pressed his intention Of rating my IA
ther roundly for not having brought me
inside along with himself. Then ques-
tion occurred to me, and ventured TO
ask, Are you Lord SaltounT "Of
course | am, ;" replied the old gentle
man "Who the devil else should |
be:' Well, | did not like TO avow what
| felt, but in truth was hugely diSap-
pointed in him, for | had just been
reading Siborues Waterloo" and to
think that this dumpy old fellow IN the
dulfcl jacket that came up over his ears
was the valiant here who had held
Hougomont through cannon fire and
musketry lire. and hand 10 hand bayonet
fighting on the day Of Waterloo, while
the post he was defending was ablaze,
and who had actually killed Frenchmcn
with his own good sword, WAS a severe
disenchantment. .-NineteeHth Century.

HORSE MEAT.
SENSATIONAL STORIES. GOVERNMENT
PRECAUTIONS. HEALTHFUL AND
NUTRITIOUS.

The gist of the whole matter, accord
lug TO the Rural New Yorker, seems to
be that horse meat is used 10 some ex-
tent mot 70 the extent that some would
have US believe, both here and In
Europe; that il is sometimes sold a.
such. but often is disguised; that il Is a'
healthful aud nutritious, if from healthy
animals, as beef, especially poor beef
that il is good way to dispose oil broK-
en-down-not iseased-horses, or oil
poor scrubs that are not worth keeping
and that il may be blessing to thos,
who cannot afford TO buy higher pricec
meats.
Congress last winter passed la"
which required all meat expectations
after September l6, 1895, TO be accom-
panied by certificate showing that Tn,
cattle from which they were produced
were found free from disease, and that
the meat was sound and wholesome
and further requiring that the meat OF
all other species Of animals shall o'
pscked in barrels, cases or other pack
ages, which are legibly marked in sucn
manner as clearly to indicate the species
of animal from which the meat was pro-
duced. Secretary Morton has issued al
order TO carry into effect this law, and II
is expected that its enforcement Will se
AT rest the reports that horse meat /:
packed and sold as beef.

An Educated Horse.

There is an educated horse in Nash
vile that would be- a valuable acquisi-
tion to tented aggregation Of eques-
trian prodigies. In one respect this
horse is superior to the people Of Mem
pins, III that it knows Nashville's ways
and humoTs The owner Of the animal
evidently reposes the most perfect con-
fdence in it, for, without bride or
reins, ho drives through the most crowd
ed thoroughfares, guiding the horse by
word Of mouth, occasionally putting
emphasis upon his orders by using the
whip. Those who saw the intelligent
steed going up Vine street the other
