A Horse and a Hose.

F. s. Brown, who keeps novelty store
IN Ansonia, Conn, has Il gray horse which
has learned novel trick aud delights in
showing it when thirsty. The horse is
kept at Curtis livery stable and the
trough where the horses usually drink is
SO situated that the water becomes warm.
One day a few weeks ago, as the horse
was being led out OF the barn, one of the
stable hands was using the hose to wash
carriage. The water WIS partly turned
off, and, without thinking of the results,
he held 1t up to the horse. He was sur
prised to see the horse take the nozzle
in its mouth and hold it there until it
drank its fill and without splitting a drop.
When the horse came in at noon the peri
ment was repeated, and the horse drank
again in the same manner with evident
delight at the temperature OF the water.
1t became so accustomed to this manner OF
drinking that now 1t refuses to drink out of
the trough, and if the hose is lying on the
ground IL Will step up to it, get the end 10
lis mouth, and drink if the water Is rum
ming II not. it will whinny or stamp with
its feet until some one turns the water

A FOX STORY.
How u Maine Hunter Gained Local

How Maine Hunter Gained Local
Celebrity.
Near York Sun.
a hunter killed fox up in Maine while
ago thathad ga ned for itself heap of 10 cal
celebrity. This fox was at once crafty and
dashing, and only at the last did its wits fail
it.Itiwas known as phantom fox, Il witch
reynard. A good many beasts, birds, and
fishes have become known to alarge number
OF spoftsmen. One OF the most noted was the
witch turkey of the Tennessee bottom lands.
The witch turkey was distinctive because of
its color as well as because OF its brains. 1t
was pure white, and no one who saw it
could mistake its identity. This turkey was
never killed by hunter, though pounds OF
lead whiZZed more or less close to it, and
it was most difficult to approach.
On the banks OF the West Canada Creek,
where one can scarcely get out of sight of
the c,earings, deer has roamed for six
years during every summer, in spite of
rifles, shOtguns, and dogs.
There have been number of bears in the
Rockies, great, big grizzlies, which have
become well known. One of these was
caught n trap, but managed to pull out
again at the expense of foot, 1t never
got into trap again, but it died after
several years of fame because OF a lively
little cur that nipped at its hams and so
annoyed it that it allowed a man to get
within good shooting distance.
The Indians, when animals defied their
craft for some time, would regard them
with supersttious awe that often amount
ed TO worship. Many OF their legends are
to be traced to some such source as this.

They are as high as the standing ones,

high turnover turns down in the back much
further than the old style, and can be worn
without a coat, with fancy shirt and belt.

string last year. and surprised society this
year with his brilliant Pacific coast mar

Contrast Between War Depart

ORDERS FROM A BEDROOM
fCopyright, 1861


It's a long distance war, this present
of course, directed and suppl ed from
Madrid, while the revolutionists are kept
at it by a coterie of men whose beadquar-
tiers are right in New York city.
The contrast between the headcenters
of these opposing forces is astounding.
In Madrid the war is directed with all
the pomp and circumstance possible. There
are half a dozen magnificent palaces and
ministries where thousands of officials
are busy at it The ministers, secretaries,
and commanders all have a big retinue of
subordinates. There are nearly &c, 900 sol
diers stationed there all the time to give
dignity and splendor to the work OF crush.
ing out the rebellion. They are only for
show, as there is absolutely nothing for
them to do In the way of guarding prop
rrty or people. The 5000 police and civil
guards are amply sufficient to do all that
Iort of work that is necessary. At the
grand Old royal palace, whose magnificence
Rstounded even Napoleon, the insurrec-
ton is about the only topic OF any inter
est or any Importance. The same is true
ut the senate building, in the Chamber of
Deputies, in the Presidential, where Ca
novas reigns supreme, at the big palace
of the minister of war on the broad Alcala,
ut the rambling old cavalry barracks now
occupied by the minister of marine, aud
1t the palaces of the colonial minister aud
the minister OF finance.
Without the aid of powerful influence
and the consumption OF a great deal OF
time and patience, it is almost impossi-
bic to have an interview with high
Spanish official, much less Canovas, the
premier. Soldiers and policemen in
gaudy uniforms bar your progress at
every turn Unless the visitor wore the
regulation frock coat and silk hat he
would get but scant courtesy from any
of the officials or unierlings on duty.
Now look at the other picture.
1t isn't so attractive or SNOWY, but by
Probably not one American in ten thou
sand knows where the headquarters of
the Cuban Junta are, that peculiar and
modest little organization which has for
nearly a year carried on a more or less
successful contest with Spain and cap
tured three -fourths OF the island of
Cuba. There is nothing magnificent
about the offices of the Junta. They are
confined to the five rooms On the second
