They Get a Free Ride Down Hill Every
Day and Like the Fun.
Here is street car for the accom-
mediation of horses which is the very
latest thing in the west. Such a car
is now in operation in Denver, and it is
pronounced a great success by all able
to give an opinion on the subject. The
horses themselves are dumb, but if
their Judgment could be had it would
no doubt be favorable.
By the introduction of cable and cleo
trio motive power, the bicycle and the
automatic carriage, man has done
much of late to relieve the Affections of
the equine race. But this latest move,
that of taking the horse up off the
ground and placing him on board a car
so that he may have ride just like the
other passengers is a radical departure
indeed.
1t must be confessed, however, that
these free rides are given in a spirit of
thrift. The managers of the road find
that by this means they save wear and
tear on the horses hoofs, and that they
are thus able to remain in the service

longer. The plan is very simple one,
and like all other simple things that are
new it makes you want to know why
it was never thought of before.
The riding car for the horses con-
sists of a platform mounted on small
wheels protected at the sides by a
sufficiently high railing, while the front
and rear are provided with gates. These
permit the horse to get on and off the
car without backing.
When the regular passenger car has
been drawn to the top of the long as
cent, the horse carr is hooked to the
forward end, the horses are driven
aboard, and by a few def turns of the
brake, the descent is made safely.
At first the horses showed some hest
tation about embarking on what APP
peared to be perilous adventure. But
they soon became accustomed to it, and
are said to even enjoy the experience,
expressing their pleasure by broad
smiles and prolonged whinnies.
There is no reason why this plan
should not be adopted with profit else

and thus saving wear and tear on their

1t might be supposed that the addi-

might cause the brake to slip, but this
is not the case. 1t is only necessary to
make the brake a little more powerful

The BebbIer's Stone.

On the side front of the Mulhousc
town hall there is hung up stone called
the "Klapperstein" or "Babbler's'
Stone" 1t bears an inscription in Ger
man, of which the following is a trans
lation:
! am called the stone of babblers,
Well known to evil tongues;
Anyone who is of a quarrelsome or SLAM
derous turn
Will be compelled to carry me through the
town.
This stone, which was brought into
requisition for the last time in 1871,
served as penalty for excessive use
of the tungue. Its services were often1S-
quired, and never week passed with
out some man or woman being con-
demned to carry 1t through the streets

TAME WILD ANIMALS,

Some of the people who live On the
edge of the Maine woods have beer
betwixt the devil and the deep sea-
as the phrase is, with the game law or
one side of them and the dispositi n
of the protected animals to be neigh
borly on the other. Said a woman in
the Piscataquis backwoods:
"a deer can be tanned as easily as airy
other animal, and sometimes they are
bound to be tanned whether you want
them or not. A few years ago young
deer came out with our cattle and
grazed round with them and came up
to the barnyard at night. He didn't
seem a bit frightened, and l gave it
some milk. 1t drank readily, and next
day wanted some more. 1 could pat il
and fondle it as we'll as 1 could a cosset
lamb. 1t stayed around with our cattle
for several weeks, when one day game
warden came and said l was liable tt
a penalty for keeping the deer and
feeding it. Then l tried to drive il

i'll spite of my threats and attempts
to scare it, and coax for milk was pitiful
to see. | had the hardest work to
make him go away, and for long time
he'd keep coming back to our place"
A similar case occurred in Portland
last summer, where a seal came to q
fisherman's boat and followed it for
Il number of days and wouldn't drive
off.
These instances of tame wild ami.
mails remind Maine gentleman of what
ne saw in Maytield a few years ago. He
was driving through that town, and
at place where he stopped his hostess,
handsome young woman, asked him
il he wanted to see deer. Taking {,
dish with some grain in it, or some
thing of that sort, she went down the
lane to the edge of the woods and
stopped, calling in a low tone some
name. Presently a fine large buck
came out of the woods and trotted up
10 her as tame as any colt could be.
He stuck his nose in the dish and
munched the food, while she patted
his neck and talked to him. When
she left him to come back to the house
he followed her to the fence and seemed
really anxious TO go to the house, too,

Through storyIand to Sunset Seas

This is the title of handsome volume of
$50 pages, printed on fine enameled paper
and illustrated by 200 fine half tone engrav-
ings, which the Passenger Department of
the Southern Pacific at New Orleans has
just issued.
As an example of beautiful printingit is
one of the most perfect specimens of book
making of the year. AS an evidence of rail
way enterprise it is a marvel, for the giving
away of so sunptuous volume, so artistic
in its details of workmanship, is they very tri-
umph of that spirit of progress which at
tracts people to railway. 1t is clever
narrative of the romance of the Southwest,
together with running description of the
country traversed by the vast systems of
the Southern Pacific, calling attention to the
strange people and novel sights and beauti-
full natural scenery from New Orleans to
Portland, Oregon. Through Storyland to
Sunset Seas" belongs to that class of fasci-
mating works of travel which so delight
and instruct one and is book which will
be read and kept as a valuable addition to
the library.
1t cost 20 cents to mail this book If you
will send this amount to cover postage to S.

1t has been claimed by observers of

tive to birds. She brought them a
sprig of green on Sunday morning and
disappeared. In less than an hour they
all died. The sprig was examined and
proved to be the deadly larkspur,

very palatable dish is made of an
elephants foot by putting it in hole,
building fire around and over it and
keeping it going for five or six hours.
Elephants tail is Baid to be very deli
clous when washed, scraped and fried
until it is rich dark brown. A novel
way of making a stew is practiced by
one tribe who use the animals skin as
receptacle for water; put in this
water vegetables and pieces of meat
and then add red hot stones. This
generates vast quantities of steam and
makes the water boil without injuring
greatly the surrounding hide. At the
end OF an hour the contents are cooked
and the water has become very fair
soup, but a little peculiar on account
OF the amount of cinders, sand and
fragments of stone it contains. Still
another tribe cook locusts, grasshop-
pers, katydids and the like, and say
they taste a great deal like an over
cooked shrimp. None of the native
tribes, so far as known, ever eat the
ion, but they have no such feeling to-
ward other carnivora.
The jackal, wolf and fox are more
or less popular, and are reported to
give very palatable meat. Where our
people hang mutton, game and the i'm
mortal goose to season it and give it
rich flavor, many South American
tribes secure the same result by bury
ing meat in the earth and leaving it
there for several days. No civilized
man has ever been able to eat it in this
condition, but the savages pronounce it
delicacy of extraordinary merit. Not
alone is cannibalism practiced to
large extent, but our Darwinian cous-
ms of the monkey tribe share the same
fate. In the districts where they are
employed as food they are very timid
and fly at the sight of human being
even at great distance. In other ter
ritories, where they are unmolested,
they are about as tame and fearless as
in South America or India. In nearly
all of these tribes the woman is the

HIS "GOOD LITTLE WIFE"
EngIand's Queen Is Woman of the Mo-
Perfect Grace and Bearing.

EnSIanuS queen Is a woman OF the MOST
Perfect Grace and Bearing.
The heart of gold, the will of iron,
the royal temper of steel, the pride, the
patriotism and the deep piety of Victoria
have been enshrined in a small, but
vigorous frame, the mignonne aspect
of which especially strikes those who
behold her for the first time in these
her 'chair days" 1t was reported
how, when Prince Albert was dying,
he reused himself from period of
wandering to turn with ineffable love
to his spouse and sovereign, saying to
her with a kiss: "Good little wifer'
And when the Prince Consort was actu-
ally passing away after those 81 years
of welded happiness, it was told how
the queen bent over him and whis-
pered; 1T is your little wife, at which
last words the angel of death stayed
his hand while once again the dear
eyes opened and the dying lips smiled.
But though this be SO, no one who
has been honored by near approach to
her majesty, or has ever tarried in her
presence, will fail to testify to the
extreme majesty of her bearing, min
gled always with the most perfect
grace and gentleness. Her voice has,
moreover, always been pleasant and
musical to hear, and is so now. The
hand which holds the scepter of the
seas is the softest that can be touched;
the eyes which have grown dim with
labors of state for England, and with
too frequent tears, are the kindest that
can be seen.-Sir Edwin Arnold, in
