Saves Wear and Tear on Hoofs-The
Animals Draw Two Cars Up Hill and
Then Slide Back on the Down
Trip.
ERE is a street car
for the accommo-
dation Of horses
which is the very
latest thing in the
west. Such a car is
now in operation in
DenveH and it is
pronounced a great
success by all able
to give an opinion
on the subject. Tho

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
n placing him on board a car so that
he may have a ride just like the other
passengers is a radical departure in
deed.
1t must be confessed, however, that
these free rides are given in a spirit
OF thrift. The managers of the road
fEd that by this means they save wear
and tear on the horses hoofs, and that
they are thus able to remain in the SER
vice longer. The plan is a very simple
one, and like all other simple things
hat are new it makes you want to
know why it was never thought of be-
fore.
The riding car for the horses con-
slsts 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 horses to get on and
of the car without backing.
When the regular passenger car has
been drawn to the top of the long as
cent, the 'horse car" is hooked to the
forward end, the horses are driven
aboard, and by a few deft turns of the
brake, the descent is made safely.
At first the horses showed some hest
tation about embarking on what ap-
peared to be a 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
where. There are many car lines
which run for almost their entire
length on more or less steep inclines.
The additional force required to be ex-
erted in drawing a car up hill is
turned into propelling force when the
car begins the descent. This force
might well be employed in giving the
horses a ride, and thus saving wear and
tear on their feet.
It might be supposed that the addi-
tional pull impaired to this human pas
senger car, when on the down grade,
might cause the brake to slip, but this
is not the case. It is only necessary to
make the brake q LITTLE moro noworf,,1
than that on the ordinary street car.
Having arrived at the foot of the in
cline, the gate of the horse passenger
car is unfastened, and the animals once
more take their places in the traces,
drawing both cars behind them up the
hill. The entire load is not much heav-
Ter than a single car on a level street.
as the car in which the horses ride is
very light.

verish haste to begin the concerts ar
ranged for the summer in the provinces
and at the watering places.
What ardor! what sacred fire.. cried
the maestro admiringly.
Natalia tried, but in vain, to prolong
their stay until Sunday, out her father
and Tiomane seemed to be in league
n thirsting for new triumphs. They
did not see Guillaume.
The jealous girl was obeying a very
singular, but alas! very human feeling.
She enjoyed a bitter satisfaction in sep
arating Guillaume and Natalia.
Sometimes, however, she fancied that
keen-sighted Natalia read her heart,
and h felt deeply Inundated. One
morning at Aix-les-Bains, after receiv-
ing, the night before, a magnificent ova-
ton, she appeared at the breakfast ta-
bic with yes swollen with weeping.
What is the matter, ma cherie 2" said
Natalia, with real anxiety. "Are you
HIP,
Tiomane pleaded a frightful head
ache.
On leaving the table Natalia slipped
her arm into that of her friend and said
affectionately:
Have you not some secret sorrow,
dear?n
This pity ~revolted the sensitive girl,
and, drawing herself up proudly, she
said:
"A secret sorrow! What sorrow could
I have?'
Listen resumed Natalia gently.
pressing her arm, 81 am afraid you are
signing for the handsome young Irish
lover, who 10 doubt is as sad as your
self"
Tiomane .disengaged herself quickly.
and answered with some asperity:
MY dear. you Jest very agreeably,
but T am not in a humpr to listen to
jests today. I am a little rvous which
is perfectly ridiculous, I know, but
nevertheless true"
Natalia followed her to her room, and,
without paying any attention ttossssthe
l~cross looks OF her friend, seated herself
on the sofa beside her.
Eyes, / wager that T can guess your
sorrow, she exclaimed, gail5: s.yen are
weeping for your Apollo Of the Green
Isle; you regret yeur rigor; like ali
women, you think tenderly of the abb

sisted on yielding her place as maid Of
honor to Natalia, Guillaume being best
man.
1T is not kind to my brother" Maritzs
pleaded.
ooh, they are such good friends
Tiomane answered gaily, sit is giving
a double pleasure"
Natalia's visits had become few and
far between. Repulsed by the GOODNESS
and ill-humor of the diva since the con-
versation which we have related just
before their return to Paris, the pianist
seemed to avoid her companion, but
nevertheless took pleasure in discharg-
ing man. a barbed arrow at the ambi-
tious girl when they did meet.
"A palace without love!" she said, one
evening. How tastes differ! To me it
would be worse than a p%rison!"
Again, she look pleasure in celebrat,
ing the feats Of brutality Of the noble
foreigners, with unpronounceable
names, ending in ski and stoi, who had
married celebrated singers and showed
their devotion by petting them with a
knout.
Titled foreigners she said, "often
fall in love with beautiful voices nnd
they always treat their wives even
worse than their serfs. It is just what
the vain, ambitious creatures deserve,
however. I DO not pity them"
Far from being offended at these at
tacks, Tiomane was delighted, for she
felt that her secret was safe; her keen
sighted friend had not guessed it.
Herr S~ancede's uncle had granite.
his two young engineers three days va
cation for the wedding festivities. Gull
laume, very sad and very cross, spent
these days as much as possible out of
the house. Tio1nane attributed his ILL
humor to Natalia's absence, for, as we
have said, she no longer visited them
on her old familiar footing.
However, the evening before the cere-
mony, Guillaume fingered in the draw
mg room after dinner, with the lovers
and Madame de Sorgnes. Tiomane had
remained in the drawing room to ar
range the flowers for the next morning.
Through the open door the young man
watched her busy fingers, and, seized
with an irresistible desire to speak to
her, he rose and passed into the next
room, closing the door gently behind
him. Standing at the table, which was
covered with dollhouse treasures, the
young girl was arranging the marriage
bell OF pure white roses. Had she heard
him enter? She did not raise her eyes;
not a muscle Of her face betrayed any
consciousness Of his presence.
He. looked at her, very much agitated.
what beautiful 1owers!" he said,
to break the silence. which had become
painful.
she did not answer.
..It does one good to see two people SC
happy, does it not, Tiomane?" he said,
approaching the table. .sThis marriage
is a fete for all of us, is 1t not?,
Certainly" she answered In the most
Indifferent tone. without raising her
eyes. apparently quite absorbed in her
pretty work.

his emotion. ut is a beautiful dream

MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE.

Congressman stalltngs Thought bingham
Was q Long-Distance Fighter.
From the washington Post.-Here il
a story which Stallings Of Alabama tells
on himself:
1T happened in the Ffty-second con.
gress, when | was a new man in the
house, not so experienced all am now.
Bingham of Pennsylvania Us making
or other. Near me sat old Judge Gull
berson. He listened awhile and them
beckoned to me.
"sSay, Stalling,' said he in his slow
and lazy way, git up and answer that
fellow. The idea of his abusing ithe
southern cavaliers like that! He never
smelt gunpowder. He never was in the
war. He skulked while we were out
fighting Yankees
Il didn't know Bingham" continued
Stallings. 81 felt flattered that Culber-
son should call on me to speak for our
side, and got the floor as soon as 1
could when Bingham had concluded.
- VS1A, 0I1, L L 1lLO /
threw all the eloquence of my tongue
into that effort to %annihilate him. I
pictured the northern soldier shoulder
ing his musket and kissing his wife and
children farewell at the front gate. I
pictured the battlefield where he fought
and bled for the Union. 1 pictured the
southern soldier departing from his
matched cottage home, where dwelt his
loved one, going out to fight for what he
believed his right, and his return to
find the house in ashes and the lear
ones dead or scattered. And then I de-
nounced the skulking stay-at-homes in
the north, men like the gentleman who
had just preceded me, who had never
seen a battlefield, never smelt gun
powder. except on the Fourth of July
or at a ratification meeting, and who,
thirty years after, would get up in con-
gress and denounce the southern men
who had gone out to lay down their
lives for their cause, right or wrong.
"To my SURPRISE" said Stallings,
Bingham took it in the best of humor.
He even laughed. Some of the Repub-
llcans smiled and looked in an amused
way at Bingham and then at me. And
next thing I knew some on our side
were smiling, and when I turned about
there was old Culberson doubled up in
his seat, laughing to himself as though
he had a fit. 1t began to dawn on me
about this time that Culberson had just
put up a job on me. I wasn't through
with my remarks, but I cut off short
and sat down.
Presently Bingham walked we to
me, holding out his hand in a pleasant
sort of way, and said:
"'This is Mr.. Stallings, I believe?
I'm sure you have been made the victim
of a practical joke. I was in the Union
army and was wounded at Gettysburg,
Spottsylvania and Farmville, and was
mustered out as a brigadier general.
It's all right; only I hate to see a young
man like you imposed upon.'"
