SMALLEST HORSE IN THT
WORLD.
THE

A pony born on the farm of Israel
Hunton, in Orange county, Ohio, is re-
garded as one of the most remarkable
freaks of the world. While now about
2 years old this interesting bit of horse
flesh is only thirteen inches high, and is
undoubtedly the smallest equine speci-
men on earth. DOT" as this midget is
called, has q remarkable history; for,
unlike other dwarfs of her race, she was
the product of an ancestry of ordinary
everyday horses. Both her dam and
sire were of the usual size and appear
ance, and so far as is known there is
no reason for her remarkably diminutive
form. She is therefore purely a freak.
When born she was not much larger
than kitten. and had to be fed by her
owner from the beginning. Great care
was given the tiny colt in the effort to
raise her, and now she is full grown, al
most perfectly formed and vigorous in
health.
Many offers of large sums have been
made Mr.. Hunton by museum and cir
Gus managers for Dot" who is, of
course, much wanted for exhibition pur-
poses. These have all been refused, be-
cause Mr.. Hunton has two little daugh-
ters which are so much attached to the
family pet that he has not been able to
secure their consent. Being wealthy
himself, it is probable that those who
wish to see the tiniest horse on the globe
will have to see it on the farm of its
owner.

PIRATES OF THE MALAY SEAS.

selves now and again by little rndis-
guised business of this kind. In China
the two great hotbeds of buccaneers are
the places which have been celebrated
in this direction for centuries-Amoy
and Canton. The Annoy people proper,
who speak the Annoy dialect and live in
the walled city, are very quiet, peace
able and orderly and have pronounced
antipathy for fighting, whether on sea
or shore. But back Of Annoy Is the
mountainous district of Tongan. It Is
connected with the ocean by many arms
of the sea. Its soil is sterile and it's re.
sources are very few; its people, like
the mountaineers, are thin, muscular,
brave and rosolute. Even to-day they

tary nature. These make their living
by piracy. They and the men of Can.
ton have learned wisdom by experience.
They no longer cruise the wide seas, at.
tacking any craft that may come along.
There are too many gunboats patrolling
the coast-too many yardarms. Law
and order, in the past half century, have
shot, hanged, drowned, blown up or
burned at least 100000 followers of the
''black flag" To-day the work is done OH
smaller scale, but on a far shrewder
and safer basis. They keep spies at va
rlouS places in their neighborhood, who
report to headquarters whenever some
junk is about to leave that has a rich
cargo or carries a large amount Of
money. Along with this goes the infor-
nation of who commands the boat, how
large a crew it carries and how it Is
armed. The pirates then plan to inter-
cept the craft in some river or arm of
the sea, or else in some shoal water near
the coast where there is no chance Of
meeting a gunboat and where, after the
robbery, they will have a safe means Of
escape.
Their calculations are carefully made.
but ccme out right only once in four or
five times. 1t may be that foreign or
Chinese gunboat suddenly appears up
on the scene. 1t may be that the junk
they are after goes past their rendezvous
with European steamer or river launch
or mayhap the prospective victim Is de-
layed by adverse winds and tides, and so
does not appear at the time and place
figured upon. When they do make a
capture they are not so brutal and cruel
as in the old years For the rest any
one who knows China and the Chinese
will not need to be told that the booty
is easily disposed of without risk or
questions asked.-Pall-Mall Gazette.
