For twenty-three years he remained in the

pired. During most of this time he was
stationed in the west, and took part in
many bloody encounters with the Indians.
He was in the battle of Little Big Horn

gave way, and he became a total physical

Electricity and Balky Horses.

One. Of the recent extensions of the
use of electricity is in conquering q
s.balky or lazy horse. A western Penn
:sylvania gentleman owned horse
he said was worth $1,000, pro-
vided he could cure him of baking It
was suggested that he try electricity.
He purchased three volt storage bat
terry and connected it by wires with the
bit and the crupper. The battery was
placed in the road cart to which the
horse was attached. At first the horse
refused to move, but stood with all four
feet braced. Then the owner touched
the button connected with the battery.
When the horse felt the shock, he snort
ed, jumped and began to move off at a
lively pace. Every day for week he
was given the same lesson. His owner,
who does not care to sell him, declares
that now he never balks, bites or kicks.
The West Pennsylvania Humane So
ciety, which Investigated the method,
came to the conclusion that a small
amount Of electricity used upon q horse
was more humane than a whip.-Ex-

grew slightly depressed in spirits and
an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos

bride grew more nervous and took on
such a troubled expression that he said.

A sickening sensation swept over the
young husband. Surely there must be
some mistake. She, whom he had looked
upon as the personification Of innocent
womanho deceive him! It must not

blight his life. And then, when he

Brute Instinct. u

Natural laws pertain to all things,
and certain laws govern the conduct of
brute society. But that the actions of
the lower animals are ever prompted
by sense Of duty is not only extreme
~ hypothetical, but altogether doubt
full The hen has strong maternal affec-
ton, but that she has the least idea Of
the virtue Of that affection any more
than Of the virtue Of doing good for
evil is in the extreme conjectural. It is
often hard and even impossible to &C
count for the likes and dislikes Of ami
mails. The hen will sometimes destroy
certain of her brood and the sow de-
YOUR her own offspring. Much Of the
cruelty is practiced upon the brutes for
the lack of thought that they are not
morally responsible. They are treated
as if they are conscious of wickedly
selfish acts I once saw some men look
ing at drowning mouse in q pail of
water. Irebuked them, and one Of them
"A man perhaps 40 years old-turned
to me and said, The mouse deserves
it. Why deserved it? Pray tell Us.
Shall we say it was conscious of the sin
Of thieving? Others may try to view it
in that way. I do not / knew another
man who would hold rats with tongs
and roast them alive in the fire. IF he
could not prove that they deserved
their torture, he certainly wished to be-
ieve they did. II we recognize q Crea-t
tor, is it not most rational to suppose
that he has created the brutes morally
irresponsible and would have us thus
regard them, that our. incl tnation to tor
ture them would be held in restraint?
