PENSION FOR A HORSE.
Faithful Animal in Fire Department
Released from Duty.

Faithful Animal In q Fire Department
Released from Duty.
The board of fire commissioners has
decided that the big bay horse Jerry,
which has faithfully served the city in
the fire department for seventeen years,
and is now twenty-three years old,
shall be given his time for the remain
der of his days and be pensioner on
the city. The horse and his mate were
purchased by the city in the days of
the volunteer fire department to draw
ladder truck No. 1, and for several
years they did this work, which is now
considered pretty heavy job for the
three horses attached to the truck.
When the paid department was organ
lied Jerry became member Of it, and
he has discharged his duties faithfully
ever since. He is now entitled to be
considered "aged," having served long
er than the usual span of life allotted
to horses, and the commissioners do
not feel inclined to sell him for triae
to some one who will perhaps starve
and abuse him and render the rest Of
his life uncomfortable; so they have
decided that he is to have free hay and
oats at the expense of the city as long
as he lives.-Portland Oregonian.

Hypnotizing by Telephone.

The wonders OF. the telephone never
cease. The latest brought to the atten-
ton of the New. York Electrical Engi-
neer is the hypnotizing of young boy
through the medium of the telephone at
Houston, Tex. 1t is needless to SUR
mise, adds the Engineer, that the sub
ject was pronounced cataleptic; but
the facts brought to light would seem to
indicate more strongly than ever the
necessity for a stringent law against
the prcmiscuous practice of hypnotic
ing. The Engineer does not imagine
that many persons could be Influenced
ALPHABETICALLY over the telephone, yet it
believes it will be just as we'll to guard
against such practices by prompt and
effective legislation.-San Francisco

AuDIBILITY o THUNDER:

IN connection with the proposal to.
tons for PORTING the phenomena Of
thunderstorms It lis stated that while
lightning may be seen and its illumE
nation of clouds and mists may be rec
ognized when it is even 200 miles dis.
tant, thunder is rarely audible ten
miles. The thunder from very dis
tant storms, therefore, seldom reaches
the ear. Hence,3if every thunderst
has to be recorded large number Of
stations will be needed; probably one
for every rs square miles would not
be too many. A few stations would
suffice, at least for the reporting Of the
direction and movement Of every case
of distant lightning. The reason of the
great uncertainty in the audibility of
thunder is not hard to understand. It
depends not merely on the initial in
tensity of the crash, but quite as much
on the surroundings of the observer,
even as in the quiet country one will
observe feeble sounds that escape the
ear in noisy city. Perhaps the most
curious and important condition of
audibility is that the thunder wave of
sound shall not be refracted or reflect
ed by the layers of warm and cold air
between the observer and the light
ming or by the layers of wind, swift
above and slow below, so as to entirely
pass over or around the observer
Sound, in it's wave-like progress OBJ
liquely through layers of air of differ
ent densities, is subject to refraction,
and this refraction may occur at any
time and place. Thus, observers at the
topmast of a ship frequently hear fog
whistles that are inaudible at sea level;
those on hilltops hear thunder that
cannot be heard in the valley; those in
front of an obstacle hear sounds in
audible to those behind it. The rolling
of thunder, like that of distant can
nonade, may be largely due to special
reflections and refractions of sound.
Again, the greater velocity of the air
at considerable attitudes above the
ground distorts the sound wave and
shortens the limit of audibility to the
leeward, while increasing it to the
windward. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Az T0nCI1 NOVELIST 1aS snAN0Yt
Strange Fancies.
NJ. lola, the great French novelist, is
embarrassed in the trivial details of
his daily life by a host Of superstitious
fears and a belief in good and evil.
omens. The number II, for instance,
suggests to the disciple Of realism all
sorts Of evil While most people re-.
gard Is as unlucky, to M. lola II or
any combination of figures that foots
up that amount is filled with dire por-
tent. When he was run over by a
Partisan cab recently he was not sur
prised to learn that it's number was
e1ghty-nine. Eight and nine make sew
enteen. He will undertake no affair Of
Importance on the 18th of the month.
DR.. Tolouse has recently devoted a vol
ume to a study of M. lola, in which
the character, temperament and the
very sources of the illustrious writer's
talents are analysed with all the re-
sources of psychology and physiology.
On pages PSI and 252 of this book the
author says: "Thus, certain figures have
bad influence upon M. lola. If the
number of a hack, when added up,
forms this figure, he will not engage
the vehicle, or, if he is Obliged to do
so, will fear that some misfortune may
happen to him. For example, that he
may not succeed in the business that
he has started out to do. Such super
stitious ideas may supervene apropos
Of any Of his arithmomaniacal i'm
pulses: For long time the multiples
Of three appeared favorable to him; but
now it is the multiples of seven that
reassure him. Thus, in the night, it
often happens that he will open his
eyes seven times in order to prove to
himself that he is not going to die.
On the contrary, the number II, which
recalls to him a sorrowful date, seems
to him to be unlucky, and chance has
ordained that he should recognize a
coincidence of certain unfortunate &C.
currences with that date. Similar SUI
perstitious ideas exhibit themselves
outside of all arithmomania. Thus, he
will perform certain acts with the idea
that, if he does not do so, some annoy
ance will happen to him. So he will
touch the gas burners that he meets
with in the street, surmount an OBJ
stacle with the right foot, walk upon
the pavement in certain way, etc."

Caring for the Teeth.

Do not eat, or do not feed your chill
dren on, white bread, which is deficient
in phosphates, and causes the teeth to
crumble. A little hard food requiring
thorough mastication should be taken

brushed bot.l night and morning.
Avoid sweets. Drink at least two

A rumor was started in the papers
during the session of the legislature
that the man Boyd who was exposed
in the act Of trying to dispense
Doodle had stated to Senator Titus
that Senator Forney was one of a
number who had already been
"fxed" on the stock yards bill.
Senator Forney's name appeared in
this connection in the papers, but
Senator Titus corrected the error in
the senate the following day, and
some OF the papers made the correc.
ton. Senator Titus stated positively
that Boyd did not use FOrney's
name. If he had it would have
been no evidence of itself, for it
would have been the natural thing
for a man who was placing Doodle
to try to influence others to take it
by falsely quoting the names Of
prominent men who had already &C.
cepted it. Republican papers have
kept the rumor grinding, however,
and the correction has not reached
the ears of many who heard the
rumor. No one believes for a mo-
ment that Senator Forney got cent
of Doodle. His votes on all meas
ures up for consideration were on
the side of the people. His record
is perfectly clear. While he was
unable to accomplish all that he de.
