Ov,uiu OF the Horse.

Or. Lydekker, the English naturalist,
says that while the ordinary European
breeds of horses may have been derived
from those which were first subjugated
by the stone-implement makers Of
western Europe, unnumbered centUr-
les ago. 1t Is proba BILE that thorough
bred" horses are Of Eastern origin. He
thinks that Turkestan was their orig
lnal home, and that the ancient Turco-
mans and Mongols were the first Asi-
attic tribes to make the wild horse the
servant and friend Of man. Horses,
believed by some authorities to belong
to a truly wild race-that is to say,
whose ancestors were never domesti-
cated-still inhabit the central Asian
steppes. From Turkestan, according
to DR.. Lydekker, they spread to Him.
dustan, Persia, Assyria. Egypt and
Arabia. In the last-named country
they became so indispensable that many
have supposed Arabia to be the orig
lnal home Of the horse. The interest
ing fact Is pointed out that our North
American Indians, to whom the horse
was unknown before the advent OF
white men. have shown the same skill
and adaptability in mastering them
that the Arabs exhibited. SO that, as
DIR. Lydekker remarks: Had we not
historic evidence to the contrary, there
Is no saying but that the original sub
jugatiOn Of the horse might not have
been attributed to the Indian Of the
prairiea.'

for the metal in 1895 raised the price

the production fell off largely from that
of the preceding year. Platinum Is also

The sleep of Butterflies.

The same observer has watched the

some of them are rendered secure from
their enemies at night by their peculiar
colOrs and markings. Thus large red
and brown butterflies. with silvery
spots on the under side Of their wings,
which are conspicuous by day. can
hardly be distinguished at night when
sleeping on goldenrods and other flow
ers that form their favorite resorts. At
such times their bright wing colors
blend with the hues OF the flowers,
while the silvery spots ''glisten like the
dewdrops around them"

CHAPTER XVIII

1t Is one week later and Muriel Is in
London. "Muriel Llewellyn," as she signs
herself for the first time, as she writes a
long letter to her old friend, Mrs. Nc
Grath, the organist: telling her of her
health, and how her spirits are keeping
np." as the affectionate and untidy genius
,f Derrylossary has entreated her to do.
Alas for Muriel, and alas for Eric-the
pair who Joined hands in holy wedlock
,ne short week ago are worse than
strangers now, with an iron barrier of
coldest formality, and half-cOncealed bit
terness of resentment, Representatives,,
and jealous tortures betwixt the twain.
A barrier which each hour of distance.

and fenced about, and guarded as il Is by
burning pride and passionate love wound

For, since the hour when she left him
her welded lover-after the happy love
and sorrowful tenderness of the interview
In the old sitting room in Curraghdene-
since then she has lost him. True. she is
married to him, according to the rites of
the church, and the law of the land-so
much the worse for her, as she thinks in
her misery: she wears the badge of wife
Aood on her hand, and is called by his
name, and belongs to him as her lord and
master. and legal possessor, and yet she
shrinks from the very sight of him in an
ger and wretchedness; she avoids being in
ais society a moment longer than she can
aeIp; she never addresses him volunta-
rily; she never even looks at him when
she does not speak to him. For since that
hour when he parted from her with such
aender unwilingness, she has seen plainly
that he has stunned her, and she has been

Chance to 80. Mercury.


1t Is only once in q while that this
planet is easily visible, and perhaps the
readers of the Companion will be glad
to know that they will have an excellent
opportunity to see It on April 27, and
for two or three days before and after.
1t will not set until nearly TIVE hours
after the sun goes down, and will be
fairly conspicuous in the western t~vi-
light as a ruddy star of the first magni-
tude. rather brighter than Aldebaran,
and little south and east Of the Plei-
ades. Not a great deal Is known about
Mercury except that it Is the nearest to
the sun Of all the planets, and the
smallest of all except the asteroids. be-
ing only 1900 miles in diameter; that
1t shows phases like the moon, and-a
comparatively recent discovery-that
it behaves like the moon in its diurnal
rotation. turning on its axis only once
while it makes a complete revolution
in its orbit. Venus probably acts in
he same way.-Youth's Companion.

Mrs. Martha Chance today filed an

her husband, H. L. Chance of this
county. He alleged that they were
married Aug. 10, 1865, and that she
called him names, beat him, would
not mend or wash his clothes or cook
bis meals and was otherwise cruel.
She replies that they were married
Aug. IS, 1865, that he has struck her,
called her bad names, neglected her,
got drunk and caroused with lewd
women. She adds that he deserted
her in 1889 and that she is without
means and asks an allowance for sup.
port while carrying on the suit and
