A CARNIvoRous EQUINE.
A Horse That Prefers Meat to Any
Other Kind of Diet.

A Horse That Prefers Meat to Any
Other Kind of Diet.
The most extraordinary appetite
known in horse belongs to Billy, a
handsome bay owned by A. Decour-
fruit market, says the San Francisco
Call.
Billy's duties are to draw the firms
delivery wagon, and his stand is on
Merchant street, in front Of the shop.
Here he is often on exhibition, eating
with an apparent relish steak, liver,
tripe. and, in short. almost any variety
of meat handed him. Sometimes, after
having had his fill of oats and hay, he
refuses to MUNICH meat, but this seldom
occurs.
Billy's appetite developed several
months ago. z
The horse formerly varied his carnal
meals by purloining fish, but he was
cured in manner that was 1udicrous
to the spectators, but very painful for
the equine phenomenon.
He reached into fish wagon one day
when his olfactories detected the odor
of his favorite sme1t, but an active and
beligerent crab took offense at the in
trusion and promptly fastened to his
lower lip.
Billy shook his head frantically, and
whinnied in pain: burt the crustacean
held on until he was crushed by being
banged against the side of the wagon.
Since then the horse has kept clear of
fish

FUTURE KING or ENGLAND.
Prince Edward Of York, Who Will
BE Great Some Day.

Prince Edward of York, Who Will
BE Great Some Day.
Little Prince Edward Of York is OBJ
viously being brought up in the way he
should go, which, in the case of mem
Der Of the royal family, means having
ones picture taken with gratifying
frequency. A tiny fodder who is pre-
sumably destined to occupy the throne
Of England cannot, it is to be supposed,
have his picture taken too often, and
certainly those Of Prince Edward are
attractive enough to win him hundreds
of transatlantic admirers.
In his newest little photograph the
little prince is seated in his private
equipage, which is safely stationary.
The little wicker carriage is very pretty
and comfortable, says the st. Louis
Post!Dispatch, but it was not intended
to cover very much ground, while the
wooden steeds have a suspended ami
nation that protects the youthful driver
from all possible peril. In spite of his
safe position, Prince Edward looks
quite as worried as though he were
driving the chariot of state for which
he will one day be responsible. It is
quite likely, however, that, far from
anticipating the burdens attendant
upon his kingly dignity, Prince Edward
is nearly overcome by his new response
bility as the head of the family, Prince
Albert and Princess Victoria both be-
ing babies. Princess Victoria is ju-
bilee baby and the youngest of the
queens great-grandchildren.
Of course there are many possibili-
ties that the young duke of York may
never reach the throne. His GRANDPA
Their, the prince, has been the heir
apparent for nearly go years, and bets
have been made that the queen, his
mother, will outlive him. Then, after
the prince of Wales, comes the young
dukes father.

A MATTER OF EGGS.

Queen Victoria and the Royal FAM
lily Use the American Product.
Five hundred million of eggs are
shipped to Philadelphia every year, a
large proportion of which are housed
away in the big cold storage depots
to be kept for use as the needs Of the
market require. The fact that during
the week Of the queens jubilee Vic
toria and her royal family used ex-
clusively American eggs and poultry
at their dinners and Iuncheons is re-
garded as a special recomm tion for
the superiority of these twin articles
of produce, and were this important bit
Of dining-room gossip known about
American barn yards it would cause
many of the feathered champion egg
producers to look decidedly proud over
such queenly recognition.
The egg supply in this country just
now is absolutely enormous, says the
Philadelphia Press, and more eggs have
been placed in cold storage than ever
before. Prices were never lower, and
it is contended that the market here
can be relieved by shipping the sur
plus stock abroad and sold in close
competition with the foreign produc-
ton in all Of the great market centers:
1t has not yet been decided whether to
export the spring eggs now in cold
storage or wait until the shipments OF
fresh-laid eggs begin to arrive.

How Cyclones Affect Bicycles.

HOW CyCIOneS Affect bICyCIeBs
It has remained for the French to
study the resisting power which the BIZ
cycle has in a storm and to produce an
interesting photograph of bicycle and
rider as they appeared when caught
in a furious whirlwind. During recent
tempests number of bicycGsts were
caught on the highways, and, although
a few machines were wrecked, they
were of the cheapest grades. Bicycles
of the best make showed remarkable
powers of resistance. They were bent
into all sorts of shapes, but they did
not break.

THE GOVERNOR DIDN'T KNOW. /
The Rev. DR.. Burns Alone Responsible
For Digging up the Trees.

1t turns out that the Rev. DIR. Burns
was acting on his own hook when he
gave away those young trees Senator
Vance sent here from the Botanical Gar
den in Washington.
1t seems that the GovernO had no
hand in such a transaction, and yester-
day morning after reading the News and
Observer he was, like everybody else,
mighty mad about what had been done.
lie sent his private secretary out TO
find out just how much truth there was
in the report. Finding that it was true
to the letter His Excelency went out
into the square himself and interviewed
DIR. Burns few lines.

this tree business. ] have had nothing
to do with it and | want nothing to do

trees. I've got as many on my place
as l need?''

SALARY OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Supt. Mebane Thinks Cheap Teach
ers Make Cheap Schools.

Recently the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction received a letter
from Mr.. John G. Mcmillan, supervisor
of public schools in Duplin county, stat
ing that his county board Of education
had fixed the maximum salary for pub
lie school teachers in his county at $50
a month and asking what the minimum
should be.
In reply to this letter Supt. Mebane
yesterday wrote as follows:
Dear SIT: Your maximum of $50 is
too low. l never heard of any necessity
of a minimum before. This is new
condition.
81 will say that teacher who Is not
worth more than %Ak.50 per month is
not worth employing at all.
You can never expect to make pub
lie schools amount to anything with
$3.50 teachers for when you have a
$3.50 teacher you will have a $3.50
school, $3.50 pupils, and finally a
$3.50 community.
In some counties the committee will
strain at gnat and swallow an ele-
plant, all at the expense of the chill
dren. Here is what l mean. They will
grind down teachers to SIS and 500,
your county is the first / have heard
of at S12.50, and turn around and sign
an order for a chart for S33 or $40, and
think they have done something smart.
Away with such men to manage our
schools"

DANGEROUS ooUNTERFElTs.
Spurious Dollars 'Minted" AZ Asheville
and Now in Circulation.

Spurious Dollars MINED" at Asheville
and Now in Circulation.
A dangerous counterfeit silver dollar
has made it's appearance IN Asheville,
and the Citizen thinks circumstances
lead to the belief that the coiners of the
''queer" did the worK in their miniature
mint in that city.
Last Saturday the Battery Park Bank
put into circulation 1000 silver dollars
of the coinage of 1881. Wednesday in
the course of business two spurious dol
lars of the date Of 1881 found their wey
back to the bank. That these two were
extremely clever counterfeits is evil
denced by the fact that they passed I'm.
detected through the hands of President
Sawyer and Cashier Rankin. The lat
ter official gave one of them out during
the day, and later it was returned and
then the presence 0f the counterfeits
was first discovered.
The spurious coins are so nearly the
weight of a good dollar that il is be-
lived not one in hundred would de.
tect the difference. The milling, de.
signs and almost everything about the
counterfeit, are cleveriy executed. The
composition, however, is such that the
two dollars during the night took on
dull, frosty look that made them more
easily distinguishable.
