tied with the possession Of very con-

It was the custom for the students at
the medical institution at which pur-
sued my studies to wear small badge
upon their coats to distinguish them
from others at the college. A horse
belonging to the establishment was
used a great deal about the medical de-
partment, and the animal seemed to
have a special preference for the en-
bryo doctors more than for any other
people about the establishment. One
day, when number of us were gath
cred in a little knot upon small cam
pus in the rear of the college, the ami
NAL in question, which used to nip the
grass in the location, came toward the
group limping very badly. He came
to stop a dozen or more feet from
the crowd, and, carefully surveying the
lot of us, finally made up his mind to
do what he wanted to do, and, with
out any hesitation, limped directly to
my side, whinnied, stuck. his nose
against my body and held up his left

large nail imbedded in the frog of his
hoof. This had evidently caused the
lameness. I then realized the interest.

CAUGHT ON FLY-PAPER.
Disastrous Experience of a Ma
rauding New York Cat
How n Queer Combination Disturbed
the Peace I'm n Usually Quiet Home
AS Usunl the wife Was I'm
the Right.

One of the old residents of Stuyvesant
square, so says the New York Sun,
spends portion of each evening, espe-
cially the twilight hours. at the front
windows of the basement in his ram
bling, old-fashioned house, which opens
out on the square. Immediately in the
rear is the big kitchen, the windows
of which are as securely barred as
those of some safe deposit vaults. Those
bars would discourage burglars, but
they cannot keep flies out, as the good
housewife long since learned. Being
an old-fashioned woman, however, it
was with considerable reluctance that
she abandoned the time-honored meth
cd of darkening the rooms and beating
the flies out with dishcloth or long
paper whisk. Her husband brought
home some highly recommended fly
paper, and insisted that it should be
widely distributed around the house,
an extra allowance being made for the
kitchen and dining-room.
The other night he and his wife were
seated at the front window looking out
on the square. They were at peace
with the world. Nothing was further
from their minds than house breakers
or fly paper. Suddenly there was an
unmistakable soft thud in the kitchen.
The housewife jumped up in alarm and
sat down again. In, the dim light she
could see the outline of a strange form,
with glazing eyeballs. 1t came in a
series of eccentric jumps from the
kitchen into the dining-room, and after
making mad attempt to climb the
wall, scurried among the furniture,
darted across the floor, emitted fear
full sounds and disappeared down the
cellar stairs.
The Stuyvesant square man is too
easy going to be much perturbed over
an incident of that kind.

TALK BY WRESTLING.
Conversational Feats of the shep-
herd Boys of Tenerine.

boys VI
Have you ever heard of the so-called
"whistling language" of Teneriffe? The
probabilities are that you never have.
Yet this curious method of speech-if
indeed one can so describe it-dates
from prehistoric times.
The shepherd folk of Teneriffe and
Gomera use the "whistling language"
and the first recorded notice of it was
made by a French traveller as far back
as 1455. Since then stray wanderers
have called the worlds attention, at
long intervals, to the Language" Some
years ago, while roaming, with statf and
scrip, through ravines and over the
wild mountain ranges of Tenerife, 1T
fell to the writer's lot to hear the shep-
herds thus conversing. By placing two
or three fingers in the mouth it is pos
sible to make the whistle carry to dis
lance of three miles, or thereabouts.
The lonely hills seem silent and de-
serted, when suddenly out of the far dis
lance came a long, drawn and very
shrill whistle-the summons to a con-
versation. In reply, a similar call strikes
piercingly on the ear from the opposite
direction. The whistles are widely sep
arated, but have no intention of being
lonely. Perhaps they are having some
difficulty with their fiocks. Perhaps
they are merely resting awhile after the
dinner of black bread and onions. At
any rate, if you listen, you will soon
hear them in the thick of an earnest
chat, a chat between friends three miles
or more separated.
Logeard, the well-known French
savant, has conclusively proved that the
whistling is in Spanish. Easy words
are taken, and the sounds initiated by
the whistlers. Long practice and he
redity have given the shepherds ex-
traordinary skill in whistling and I'M
Outstanding the Spanish. Their voca-
bulary is quite long one, and, in addi-
ton, they have a regular code of grad
uated notes, which convey telegraph
ically what they cannot satisfactorily
reproduce in the ordinary manner.
The writer heard three parties of
shepherds exchange their hopes and
fears regarding the weather by this
means. On another occasion he heard
an invitation to dance sent in the
"whistling language" across stretch
of country exceeding So kifometers
The young boys, and even the girls, are
adopts at the Language" and the very
sheep appear to understand whistled
commands at considerable distance
1t is no unusual thing to find two boys
or pair of the sturdy little mountain
lasses of Teneriffe, standing by the
parental cottages, and thus conyersing
across wide ravine and rugged height
without even catching a glimpse Of one
another all the time. In fact the whist
ling language, dating as it does from
before 1450, makes one wonder whether
the telephone is such modern marve.
