The Twitch Wa5 Applied to Make Him
 Pull But IL Was of No Atau.
 There was considerable interest mani fested in "how to start a balky horse yesterday about noon at the Orange street stage stables. The stage which leaves the barn at this hour was drawn by a splendid looking team of bays, But one of them seemed to have con- siderable objection to getting his blood in circulation by any such process as going on slow trot toward East Rock with one of the numbering stages at tached to him. It might have been all right, but there Is just the slightest sus- picion of gutter al the entrance to the stable yards and when the time came for the vehicle to come out of the gut ter there was not a united effort The consequence of .all this was mo go." It was at this juncture that one of the stable men and the manager came to the rescue of the driver. All the simple remedies and prescriptions for the cure of balky horses were tried and found useless. Then came the more severe methods. The twitch, that relic of bar barism, that still turks about the sta- bles of stage companies, was brought out. This instrument is very simple and innocent little affair, but woe to the animal that becomes so obstreper- ous as to haveit used upon him. The whole implement consists of piece of hickory wood about the thickness of ones wrist and fourteen inches long, with small hole in one end Through this is run small bit of wire or cow hide, securely fastened To operate the twitch the string or wire is put on the horses upper life in such a way as to press upon the nerves centered there. A twist is then given the handle. The poor animal sets back on his launches, shakes his head and often goes ahead; but more often he goes backward. The animal in question yesterday did not do any or either of these but he set his fore feet solidly on the ground and re- fused to move either forward or back ward. The blood was soon dropping from the animals mouth, and the sweat beginning to pour from all parts of his body. A string was then tied around his ear to divert the animals attention, but there was no intention on the part of the animal to go toward the most beautiful park in all New Haven and the coaxing and persuadings of the | stable men were of no avail.
 | An hour of valuable time was wasted 1 by three men. The horse trembling with excitement, bearing several large wounds upon his hips where he had l backed against the drivers foot rest in l front of the stage and bleeding at the
 mouth, was going backward just the
 same at the end of this time as he did
 before the instrument of torture was l applied.

A Cab Horses Feat.

A cab horse which runs down a flight Of seventy-two steps and reaches the end of it's journey without either it or the vehicle dragged behind it being any the worse forthe adventure, is certainly a remarkable animal, which might legit- imately look forward to figuring in some circus, rather than dragging fares wear fly through the Paris streets. The ani- mal which has just distinguished itself in the way described was, we read, waiting patiently in a certain street of the French capital the other morning, while It's driver was fast asleep inside thevehicle. The whistling of a passing train, it is surmised, reused the horse from it's contemplations, and it deter mined to start off at a brisk trot to ascertain what the whistling meant. It happens that the street in question is divided by two flights of steps, and the horse, in it's organizations, reached the top of them. At this apparently critical moment the cabman inside the vehicle suddenly woke, and perceiving the dan ger ahead he jumped out, rather badly hurting himself by the fall. The sequel of the incident shows that he would have been better inspired had he re-

THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT.
Reduction in Wages at Waltham Strongly
 Opposed.

Reduction in Wages at Waltham Strongly
 Opposed.
 Waltham, Mass, Feb. 1.-The finish CTS of the American Watch company at a secret meeting which seventy five attended, voted by large majority not to accept the proposed reduction of wages on certain sizes of the work. Some months ago an increase of from 10 to F per cent, was allowed the fnishers on this job but recently a decrease in the selling price caused the company to ask the finishers to accept a reduction to the old scale of wages. The finishers took the matter under consideration and have finally decided not to accept.
 The finishers are about the only branch of the watchmaking trade that is firmly united, and the national union is one of the strongest of any labor organization in this country. The work is extremely difficult. and is correspond ingIy highly paid, and another thing which keeps up the wages is that an iron clad rule forbids the teaching of the art to any woman.
 There is only one woman finisher in this country so far as is known.
 The American Waltham Watch com pany always has been liberal to it's em- ployes, and in consequence there never has been a strike in the history of the concern. Just what will be the outcome of this matter is uncertain, but very little fear is entertained of any settle nrent except an amicable one

STREET CAR MEN RELIErED.

Humane ction of the Fair Haven and
 Westvilie Railroad Company Yesterday l--Tfot Coffee Served.
 Hot coffee was served to the motor men and conductors of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company by the company's orders at Hewitt's drug store yesterday and small relief squad was stationed at the corner of State and Chapel street to relieve those employees who had made the long trips. All em- ployes who wished to he temporarily re- lieved were allowed to do so. The mo- tornen and conductors on the Monto- wese branch were given a rest of twen- ty-eight minutes in Fair Haven before starting on the return trip. It is said that this policy will be kept up as long as the present cold wave lasts. In or der to carry out the relief plan, the company had four relief men at the corner of State and Chapel and six at the barns in Fair Haven yesterday.

At tho Start the Market Was Inclined to
 Weakness.
 New York, Feb. 17.-The transactions at the stock exchange were light to- day. At the start the market was in- clined to weakness, chiefly on account of an unexplained break in Manhattan from 105M to 103. The weakness of this stock made ti1nid holders tighten their loads and at the same time room oper ators and sold-out bulls contributed their share to bring about lower prices. Little success attended their combined efforts and in the afternoon trading the entire list was on the advance once more.
 ! The main cause for the confidence prevailing in the late session was the ease with which the successful bid- ders to the new government loan meet their obligations and the announcement from Washington that the Morgan syn dicate had filed a claim for all defaulted allotments at 110.6S77. The syndicate has deposited in the sub- trea sury here sufficient gold to cover all defaults. The fact that the first settlement has been met without the slightest disturbance to the money market and that funds on time are to be had at per cent. for all dates, also encouraged the bulls.
 The particularly strong stocks in the late trading were Lake Shore, Tobacco, Louisville and Nashville, Jersey Central, Sugar, Chicago Gas, and Manhattan, the latter named jumped to 1067s, Sugar first declined 1 to t127s and then rose to f15A and closed within a fraction of the best of the day. 1t was again rumored that the directors intended de- claring an extra dividend. Leather preferred dropped to 64s4 on the revival of the talk about the passing of the dividend, but later rose to 66B on cov- ering of shorts.
 In the gnangers, St. Paul rose to 76A, Rock Island to 725s, Burlington and Quincy to S0ts, and Northwest to 1041a. Speculation closed strong in tone. net changes showing gains of A@2h per cent, Jersey Central and Sugar lead ing. Pacific Mail lost M per cent, clos ing at 29A. It was stated that the trouble between the Panama road and the company has broken out afresh. The street had it that freight is being diverted at San Francisco to the South ern Pacific. President Simmons of the Panama declined to talk about the mat ter.
 Bonds were strong. Sales were s1,- 3o5, ,OO0.

Huxley as a Lecturer.

In personal conversation Huxley was full of humor and greatly enjoyed sto- ries at his own expense, Such was the following: "In my early period as 6 lecturer I had very little confidence in my general powers, but one thing prided myself upon was clearness, I was once talking of the brain before a large mixed audience, and soon began to feel that no one in the room under- stood me. Finally I saw the thorough ly interested face of a woman auditor and took consolation in delivering the remainder of the lecture directly to her. At the, close my feelings as to her interest was confirmed when she came up and asked if she might put one question upon a single point which she had not quite understood. Certainly I replied. Now, Professor she said, is the cerehellum inside or outside of the skull?" A story of his about ba- bies is also characteristics: When a fond mother calls upon me to admire her baby I never fail to respond, and, while cooing appropriately, l take ad- vantage of an opportunity to gently ascertain whether the soles of its feet turn in and tend to support my theory of arboreal descent"
 Huxley as a teacher can never be for gotten by any of his students He en- tered his lecture-room promptly as the clock was striking nine, rather quickly, and with his head bent forward, s'as if oppressive with it's mind" He usually glanced attention to his class of about ninety and began speaking before he reached his chair. He spoke between his lips, but with perfectly clear anal ysis, with thorough interest, and with philosophic insight which was far above the average of his students. He used very few charts, but handled the chalk with great skill, sketching out the natomy of an animal as if it were transparent object. As in Darwin's face, and as in Erasmus Darwin's or Buffons, and many other anatomists with a strong sense of form, his eyes were heavily overhung by a projecting I forehead and eyebrows and seemed at 1 times to look inward. His lips were l firm and closely set, with the eXpres- 1 sion of positiveness, and the other fea- l ture which most marked him was the
 very heavy mass of hair falling over | his forehead, which he would frequent 1 ly stroke or toss back. Occasionally he would tighten up the monotony of ana i tomical description by bit of humor
 remember one instance whichs was
 probably reminiscent of his famous till with Bishop Wilherforce at the meeting I of the British association in 1860, HuX. 1 ley was describing the mammalian
 heart, and had just distinguished be
 tween the tricuspid valve on the right
 side of the heart and the bieuspid valve | on the left, which, you know, resembles
 a bishops nitre, and hence is knowr as the mitral valve. He said: Tt is not easy to recall on, which side these
 respective valves are found, but I re commend this rule; you can easily re
 member that the mitral is on the left
 because a bishop is never known to be
 on the right. '-Professor Henry F. Os,

LESSON OF WATERLOO,
THE rERRIGLU STORY OF THE
 SUNkEN ROdD.

And It's Awful Meaning to the Great Napo-
 leon-He Had Most Carefully Planned
 Danger of tho Sunken Road - Which
 Proved His Utter Ruin and Destruc-
 ton.
 Victor Hugo, in that matchless word picture of Waterloo, wherein he paints with such realistic vividness the awful carnage of the sunken road, tells the tragic story of q fatal mistake. I'm his moment of anticipated victory when he thought the field was won, Napoleon ordered an advance only to see the flower of his army disappear in the bloody ravine of which he was ignorant. So sudden and unexpected was the shock that when the voice of the can non had ceased and the great battle was ended he wandered across the bloody field leading his tired horse by the bri- dle, buried in thoughtful meditation, as Hugo paints him, the "somnambulist of the shattered dream still striving to advance"
 Can we not apply this story to our selves?
 The weaknesses we disregard are our sunken roads and bring often our Waterloo of i'll health.
 Ignorance or neglect of some appar- nently little symptom may plunge us in- to fatal disease. Remember all danger ous diseases have a beginning.
