Staggered the Head waiter.
The young woman from Boston was at
a table in railroad restaurant in the far
West, and when she essayed to cut the
steak with which she had been served she
discovered that what she needed was
higher education in athletics, says the
Detroit Free Press. After four or five in
effectual attempts to dissect it she called
to the waiter.
"Cahn't you," she asked, "give me q
biz of steak which is characterized by
less tenacity of tissue?''
The waiter staggered and cowboy
across the table looked up.
Il didn't quite ketch, num-" said the
waiter, bending forward with his hand
to his ear.

noyance in her tone, "that I desired q

"Oh," stammered the waiter, and he
stood fixed with his mouth in amaze

The young woman became embar

coming to the rescue, with sounding
whack on the table, "git move on you
what the lady wants is piece of meat

woman actually smiled as the waiter

STRANGE TIMIDITY IN HORSES.
To Be Overcomessonly BY Careful Treat
mant

To Be Overcomessonly BY Careful Treat
ment.
Young horses can be led up to sack
that is lying on the ground and induced
to pass it, says the London Spectator, by
letting him smell Of it and find out that
it really is sack, and not the Protean
thing, whatever it may be, that visions
conjures up to them.
Once the writer saw a quick and pretty
instance Of experiment by touch made by
frightened pony. 1t was being driven
as leader in pony tandem, and stopped
short in front of where the rails of a
steam tramway crossed the road. It first
smelled the near rail and gave 1t two
quick taps with its hoof. After this it
was satisfied and crossed the line. On
the other hand donkey always tried to
jump the shadow of tree trunks on the
road, though n similar experiment of
touch would have shown that these were
as unrealsas the rails were substantial.
Lastly, no horse which has once knocked
It's head against the top OF stable door
seems quite unable to get rid of the allu-
sion that that there sits up in the top of
all doorways an invisible something which
will hit again next time he goes through.
Hence the troublesome, and sometimes
incurable, habit of horses ''jibbingn when
taken out of the stable.
This is an obvious instance of the lis
advantage at which most animals stand
in regard to means of physical expert
ments. The horse, for instance, needs
| only to feel the Intel to find out that it is
fixed and does not move, and 1t is not
| alive and waiting to hit him. But except
his lips, which are sensitive, he has no
| member with which he can make the ex-
pertinent Except the elephant and the
monkey, most OF the "higher animals''
suffer from this lack of the means of ex.
| pertinent The wonder is, not that they
suffer from illusions, but that they make
so few mistakes.
