HORSE HISTORY.

One of the most peculiar banquets
ever celebrated was the "Great United
Franco-AnGlo. American Horse, Mule
ard Donkey Banquet" where the flesh
OF the three kinds of animals wa::
served in many, styles. This. famous
feed was on April 8, 1875.
The standard of the SaXons was a
white horse. 1t is worthy of note that
tue hair of the Saxon women was not
rcd, but yellow, therefore the joke
about the red-headed girl and the white
horse, though ancient, is of later date
than the eighth century.
The horse of Alexander the Great
was named "Bucephalos." It was told
of him that he always knelt to take
his master. He was 80 years old at the
time of his death, and Alexander built
city for his mausoleum, !iich he
called Bucephala.
From the time of William the Con-
queror to the period when artillery
came into use horses were protected by
chain armor. The weight of this PROV
ing a serious objection, knights some
times substituted an armor Of dried OK
hide instead Of the metal protection.
In 1858 and 1850 Rarey, the American
horse tanner, performed feats Of TAM
ing in London which excited the adni-
ration of all Europe. Besides tanning
the widest and most vicious horses, he
succeeded in tanning a zebra, a feat
which was deemed impossible.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Robert Louis StevenI on's grave in the
Apia mountains is said by writer in
the Sketch to be painfully neglected.
It's almost inaccessible site may have
something to do with that.
Col. Frederick d. Grant has been
visiting the old Grant homestead at
Fast Windsor Hill, Conn. A portion
Of the house, which Yves once occupied
by all ancestor of Col. Grant, is nearly
two centuries old.
The father of John Oliver Hobbies hos
bought the famous London review, the
Academy. Mr.. John Morgan Richards,
as his full name reads, is also proprietor
of . brand OF liver pills, most popular
In Britain. He - deacon in the Lon
don Temple, DR.. Parker's church.
Quite in contrast with the Waterfalls.
tic temper of the age was the remark
once made by Prof.Agnssiz, when offered
a higher salary If he would remove to
another position than the one he was
30 laboriously and faithfully filing:
II cannot afford to waste my time max
ing money!"

TROUBLOUs TIMES AHEAD.

The sudden and severe financial
collapse i'll the northwest, by which 30
large capital is wiped out and SO
extended q business community
paralyzed, is very naturally the more
remarked and commented upon be-
cause coming right ON the heels of
the election to the presidency of the
candidate who was heralIed as the
advance agent OF prosperity"
1t is only few weeks since the COL
umns Of our Republican contempor-
aries were filled with rejoicings over
the certainty of better times and with
confident assurances that they we're
close at hand. The Kubicon was
passed, and poverty and idieness were
to be known no more forever in the
land. The magic Of Sound money
that is, of less money-was to solve
every problem and ill every mans
pocket. 1t was only necessary that
the people should declare against the
free coinage of silver, and forthwith
all the blessings OF good fortune
would be secured to us.
1t Is observable, also, that these
vauntings and predictions were most
efticaciOus in Illinois and It's adjacent
states. The most energetic appeals
to the business classes, the most
audaciOus compulsion of employees,
took place i'll that region. All
financial institutions were made TO
contribute to Boss Hanua's fund, and
free suffrage was crucitied between
bribery and terrorism. And it is
exactly in the same locality that tba
prevalent panic now exists. and the
local BANKS, which took 30 great an
interest in the Mckinley cleo ton, are
bursting and exploding in every di-
rection. Confidence seems to have
departed, and distrust and apprehen-
sion reign in its place.
If all this trouble breaks out in the
section Of the Union which, by it's re-
lection of Democratic principles I'M
der the temporary influence of de
fusion, before the advance agent of
prosperity" assumes Office, what are
we to expect when he removes from
Canton to Washington and more fully
develops the policy Of his admin:stra-
tion?-New York News.

SCIENTIFIC SC.Aps.

The largest size bug in the world il
found in Venezuela. 1t is called ele-
plant beetle, and . mature specimen Is
credited with being ab0ut half pound
in weight.
The largest flower = the world grows
in Sumatra. It is called the Rafflesia
Arnold, and some of the specimens are
80 inches in diameter. The central cup
will hold six quarts of water.
Dew is a great respecter of colors. To
prove this, take pieces of glass or board
and paint them red, yellow, green and
black. Expose them at night, and you
will find that the yellow will be covered
with moisture, and the green will be
damp, but the red and black will be left
perfectly dry.
The cold moon" is not cold at all
when she is visible, but very, very hot.
Her day is about a fortnight long, and
during her period of brightness her
temperature probably rises to 22O de-
grees F. During the period of dark
ness, on the other hand, the lunar Their
mometer is supposed to drop to about
500 degrees below the Fahrenheit zero.
Then she may be truthfully said to be
cold.
French peasants have q belief that if
n fire with much smoke is made in the
stove on the approach of a storm, fety
from lightning will be assured. Schus-
ter shows that the custom is based On
reason, as the smoke serves as very
good conductor for carrying away the
electricity slowly and safely. In 1000
cases OF damage by lightning 6.3 church
es and S.5 mills have been struck, but
the number of factory chimneys was
only 0.3.
