Horse Knows Where to Go,

There is a horse in Philadelphia whose
business it is to draw collection wagon
over post office route in the middle Of
the city, where the boxes are short dis
tances apart. This horse has learned
the location of the letter boxes as well
as its driver, and as soon as the post.
man alights at the first box at Broad
and Chestnut streets the horse walks off
to the second box and patiently waits
for his master. When the boxes are fur
Their apart, square or more, the horse
knows that and allows himself to be
driven from one to the other. He is
never known to make mistake as to
the location Of box.

business. From their perch high over
the angry sea they watched for sea otter
and shot them. Behind the rock in an
eddy that was comparatively quiet they
kept their canoe, foot and hand holds
down the side of the rock giving them
access to their craft, in which they
would search for the otter they had
killed, or perhaps chase their quarry
when sighted at distance too great for
the range of their guns. The canoe
sometimes also gave them communica-
ton with the shore, but not always.
Another and stranger method of travel
secured to these otter hermits access to
the mainland in the worst Weather-an
endless line, carrying a cage. This was
firmly fastened to a tree on shore at one
end, and to a wedge driven firmly into
a cleft in the rock on the island. With
out this line the men were not safe from
the breakers. which often beat clear up
over their little cottage during the
storm.
Sea otter hunting is a most peculiar
and hazardous business, and the boast

natives whose sole industry is to hunt
this animal One fellow of the Quinailt
tribe has not only made a good living,
but claims to have in a safe that he
picked up in a wreck near by furs valued
at $4,000. He is the most successful,
hunter in the lot, and is waiting for q
rise in the market. He will probably
get a heavy premium before he dies
he is still young-for the otter is fast
being eXterminated.
There are several methods of hunting
the otter. The Indian chases the animal
through the surf and out at sea with his
canoe. So does the white man some
times, but ordinarily he shoots from the
shore. Along the beach are tripod
shaped "derricks' standing at the edge
of the surf, from which the white man
watches. days at time, for his game.
His fine rifle brings down the game at
600 or 500 yards almost without fail.
1t is perfect weapon, perfectly kept:
the rifles are carefully cleaned with a
piece of linen after every shot, and a
hair sight and carefully-scratched ira

where he can hit or has hit before. Thu

shotgun, generally follows family Of

FEATHEREO CRIMINAL.

How Thieving swallow Was Punished
by His Mates.
81 suppose" said the man who has
spent much of his life in the woods,
that if we knew more of wild animals
we should find in them most of the
qualities that characterize human be-
ings. L went up to Aroostook county,
Me, early last year to get the first of
the spring fishing. When the birds be-
gan to return l was glad to see that
eight or ten pairs of barn swallows
which had built under the caves of my
cabin the year before were going to re-
pair the old nests.
They went at once to little spring
about half mile away, where there
was some veIy sticky and tenacious
mud. They would fill their mouths at
the spring, fly back to the cabin, and
plaster the little wad of mud on the nest.
They worked very industriously, flying
back and forth from dawn till sunset.
But by and by l noticed that one OF
the swallows did not go with the rest
10 the spring. He sat on his nest, hung
his head and acted as if sick. The others
wheeled around him a little while and
then few away.
The moment they were out of sight
he raised his head, flew to one of the
nests, and began to pull off the fresh
mud which the owner had just left,
When he had a good mouthful he went
back to his own nest and plastered it on
by the time the other birds came
back with more clay he was dropping
in his nest again, looking as if he were
jn the last stages of consumption. Now
and then, when the rest of the birds
were near, he would peep a little as il
to say: oh, how sick l am! If you
only knew how bad | feel!' and the
other birds futtered about him as if
they were trying to symbpathize with
him, or advising him what to take. But
the minute they We're gone he was out
pulling mud off their nests to build his
own with.
"This lasted nearly all the forenoon
and the thief was getting on finely. He
bad his nest almost done; for he did not
have to go distance for materials, and

A Test for Seasickness,

Many people have genuine curiosity
to know if they would be seasick in case
they should take an ocean voyage. An
easy way to put the matter to test is to
stand before the ordinary bureau mir
ror that turns in its frame, and let some-
one move it slowly and slightly at first,
and gradually going faster, while you
look fiXedly at your own reflection. If
you feel no effect whatever from it, the
chances are that you can stand an or
binary sea voyage without any qualm.
