The Are of Music.

"This appears to be an age Of music"
said Mr.. Bugleton. "Here in the ferry
house you find photograph, into whose
ever open mouth somebody drops nickel.
AS 1t begins to play people waiting gather
around to listen, and the man who has
started 1t displays his peculiarities by
standing at one side and listening with
the rest or by planting himself square in
front Of the horn and getting all he can
out of 1t himself and letting the rest listen
with him.
Then there Is the musical weighing
machine, which plays tune for you as
you stand upon the platform, and finally
losses out to you little card upon which
you find your fortune told and likewise
your weight.
"Or you may hear the band play by
dropping penny in the slot, the band be-
ing music box with a cylinder as big us
a rolling pin.
ut Is indeed un age of music-for
consideration-but was there ever time
when you didn't have to pay the piper

CHINESE WILD HORSES.
Curious Little Animals Found In the
Western Part of the Empire.

western fart OF the Empire.
The horse has become so thoroughly
domesticated In all parts of the world that
really wild representatives of the species
are extremely rare. There still exist in
parts of Hungary partially wild horses,
but these when captured young may be
broken in and put to harness with as much
readiness as horses reared on farmstead
1t Is, however, far different with the wild
horses of the Tartars, which are untam-
able and will not live in captivity.
During his journey through western
China q. Z. Grum Grizmailo met with
wild horse in the DZungarian desert. and
after much trouble succeeded in securing
two specimens, though neither of them
We're taken alive. The herds are extremely
cautious, and 1t was only by the utmost
patience and cunning that the explorers
were able TO conceal themselves near
enough to a small salt lake where the
horses came TO drink To shoot couple of
them. The wild horse has something in
common with the Altai, Caucasian and
Finnish ponies. 1t is of short stature
LAG meters high-has a broad chest and
back, short, massive neck and fine legs,
as elegant as those of a race horse, ending
with broad boofs.
The head is rather heavy in comparison
to the body, but the wide forehead is hand
some, the line from the forehead to tho
nose straight and the upper lip covers the
lower one. The upper part of the tail has
the color of the body, but is black Mt the
point, and, like that of the wild ass, is not
entirely covered with hair. The name be-
gins in front of the ears, the longest hairs
being In its middle part. 1t is black in
color and hangs over to the left. In tho
scantiDess of hair about the body the wild
horse rather resembles the Tekke Turco-
man horse, but the killed specimens had
a strange looking pair of whiskers, about
four centimeters long. -Pittsburg Dis

BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.

BUSINESS MEN's, MEETING.
The regular meeting of the
Virginia Business Mems Asso-
citation on Tuesday evening drew
forth q better attendance than
has usually been accorded these
assemblages. But little work of
Importance was transacted, the
county road topic Still being the
most important matter under
consideration. In view of the
fact that the board of county
commissioners are 1T present
causing to be run a new prelim-
mary survey of a line north from
this city to the intersection of
the Tower g. Itasca road. and the
possibility of avoiding further
trouble and expense in the Smith
injunction suit as well to furnish
a protection in the form of relia-
ble evidence should such suit be
appealed. the Association passed
a recommendation to the council
asking that body to appoint J.
D. Lamont and z. J. McKie to
go over the route likely to be
traverse'i by such road if built,
taking field notes for feasible
route. which recommendation
was favorably acted upon by the
council at the regular meeting
of that body on Wednesday eve
ming.
A committee composed of
Messrs. D. H. Moon, W. T. Bail
ey and G. E. Bailey was also ap-
pointed for the purpose of inter-
viewing the individual members
of the board of commissioners
previous to their next meeting,
on February 4th, with the object |
OF endeavoring to amicably ad-
just existing differences on the
load matter so as to secure to |
Virginia her rights without fur
ther court proceedings.
