seems that the horse business is better
represented by the following transaction,

An important case is now before the
Saco municipal court in which John
Herbert seeks to recover horse which
he claims was stolen from him twelve
years ago. Mr. Herbert after this long
period identified the horse and claims
| to know him from the fact that he
made the horse perform certain feats
which he taught the animal when he
owned him. If the case turns on this
point it will be likely to bring out most
interesting facts in the intelligence
and memory of this remarkable ami
NAL. that will be of great importance
to all having the care and training of
horses.

A HORSE STORY.
The Narrative as Told by Truthful Old
Man of Eighty.

Man of Eighty.
''This is not fish story" the story tel
Ter remarked Its horse story. with a
schooner attached. heard it coming in
on a train from Connecticut and, as the
man that told it was at least so years old
and had no reason for telling anything ex
cept the truth at that time of life, l sup
pose it is true We happened to be seated
together, and after talking about one thing
and another something induced him to
ask, Did you ever hear of horses almost
capsizing schooner OF course never
had heard anything like that. and replied
accordingly.
:" When I was a young man, he con-
tinued, "a schooner came to the town
where l lived for a load of horses that had
been picked up for the city. The skipper
rugged up lot of stalls on deck, and at
high tide the horses were driven on board.
1t was late in the afternoon before the last
one was barred in, and being about feed
ing time, the crew opened n bundle of hay
and fed the horses first on one side and
then on the other Then the strangest
thing happened. The horses were hungry,
and they were not long in sticking their
heads into the feed Those that had been
fed first began to eat first, of course
:" In II few minutes the schooner began
to roll from side to side, and the crew ran
about like wild men. They didn't know
what to do, and the horses kept on eating.
Ii was this way, you sec-eVery time the
horses Oh one side of tho vessel held their
heads down for hay the h6rses on the 9th
er side, as it happened, held their heads up
while maunching, and vice versa. The
center of gravity changed every time Il
horse moved, and as the horses were eating
quickly the upward and downward mo-
tons affected the vessel so much that we
thought she would capsizc Queer, wash I
it, What did they do?' l was obliged to
ask Il don't know, the old gentleman
replied Il had to leave then, but heard
they thought of taking away the feed. -

And now bathing car for the railways
has been patented.
Henceforth there is no reason why per-
sons travelling should be annoyed by the
incidental dust and cinders If they feel
soiled, they can jump into bathtub, pres

The patented bathing car has a double
row of little rooms, running from one end
to the other, on either side of the aisle.
Each room contains q bathtub and may
be closed by u sliding door, so that the
strictest privacy is secured. Each room
has a window to afford light and may be
furnished with every luxury ard con-
ycnience to be found in Il hotel of the first
class Hot water is supplied from the To-
comotiyc, or steam may be used, likewise
obtained from the engine by means of pipes
running under the train, TO heat the water
for bathing.
The water for the baths is supposed to
be contained in IL tank on the roof of the
car. To each bath is to be attached an ap-
paratus for IL shower bath. In closets in
the attendants rooms are to be stored such
preparations as are requisite for furnish
ing imitation sea water or any sort OF
medicated baths that may be called for.
Turkish and Russian baths may also be
provided or course the attendants will
understand the art of massage. AT one
end of the car will be a BARRIERS chair.-St.
