Two Horses.

The editor of the New York Christian
Advocate learned not long since from
a coachman that horses are not unlike
human beings. He writes: Riding in
q friends carriage one day, we noticed
that the coachman made constant ef-
forts to restrain one of the horses and
to hasten the other. AS the pair were
handsome and perfectly mated, we
said: What is the difference between
these horses, that you are constantly
touching up one and holding in the
other?" Said he: THE one that whip

so made up that he never can and never

would trot from the love of It until he

An Americans sarcasm Abroad.

An old story revived by the late his
tOric festival in Plymouth is about
Joseph Bartlett, an American lawyer.
who went to England shortly after tic
close of the revolutionary war. One
evening he strayed into a theater and
found the actors performing q species
OF satire on the war. \ company Of
American soldiery was introduced-a
ragged, motley set - armed with
scythes, hammers and soldering irons.
In contrast there moved across the
stage a troop of British warriors in
fine gay trappings and glittering arms.
The difference was amusing, and the
British audience laughed. In the midst
of the mcrriment Lawyer Joe arose
and shouted: Long live his majesty,
King George of England, whipped by
tailors, thinkers and cObhiers!" There
was q profound hush. Fer a second it
seemed as though the American would
pay for his temerity with his life, buo
admiration for his pluck won the day,
and the ominous silence was broken
with ringing cheer.

SETTLED GU! OF COURT.
"a Was Much Better Becatse Nobod
Got Mad"

Here is story of a railroad claim
aSent-a gentleman who goes about the
country settling with farmers who have
he'd horses and COWS killed by the cars
says the Danville Ky) Advocate. A
farmer who lives near Junction City had
horse killed BY freight train. The
affair was reported 10 the company and
the company sent the gentleman afore-
said out to see what sort Of a settlement
he could effect with the owner of the
animal. The farmer wanted something
like $40 for his property, and the agent
wanted to allow him $3.50. They
wrangled for quite while until bad
blood was aroused and harsh words be-
gan to pass between the agent and the
farmer. One word brought on anoth-
er, the lie was passed and open hostili-
ties commenced. The warning men
clinched and went down. Now Il SO
happened that the agent was much the
larger man of the two, and he got the
farmer between him and Mother Earth,
and held him secure. After he had
pounded the fallen foe until lie had got
ten satisfaction for all personal insults
he let up for a moment and asked:
"Now, you old fool. will you take
$3.50 for your clam?'
Il guess so," doggedly replied the
farmer, after considerable squirming
and hesitation
"All right" said the agent; Il will
pay You right away. It's much better
TO settle these things out of court.
You save all the costs and nobody gets
mad"

BASEBALL IN THE DESERT.
The Bedouins Were Badly Frightened by
fhe Pail.


Jimmy hit the ball. slow one, and
simply sent it out of sight. Away over
Bob Pattit's head it flew, as though
bound for the middle of the Sahara,
says the Sportsmaa's Magazine. Two
hundred and fifty yards from the in
field squatted the Eedouins, still chat
tering and gesticulating like crazy men.
Whether or not they saw the bail COM
ing l know not, but that one of them
will never forget his introduction to

tain. 1t struck him squarely upon the
top of his black head and then bounded
40 feet into the air.
The blow was. of course, a hard one
but the terror it inspired was far
greater than the shock. An unearthly
howl broke from his lips as the Bedouiu
followed the ball into the air and the
bedlams that Instantly broke loose was
exceeded only by the scene in front Of
our hotel that morning. Had the
sphinx herself charged into our midst
those white-robed desert angels could
not have become more panic stricken,
and when, n few seconds later, Ned
Hanlon plunged into their demoralized
ranks after the Eali they fairly howled
in their fright, and fed in every
direction like frightened children.
Within 80 seconds there was not an
Arab in sight, and it was fully ten min
utes before they plEcked up courage
enough to steal around the edge of the
farthest sand-dune and take UP their
former positions.

An Interesting Discovery Which May
Mean Iitrh.

A highly undressing discovery, which
will, perhaps, afford d clew TO the cause
Of cancer, has been made in Prof. Won
Leyden's university hospital here, says
q Berlin letter 10 the london Standard.
4 young woman Of 80 and a-man of 63,
10th suffering from dropsy and cancer
of the stomach we're brought to the
hospital last spling. In order to remove
the accumulated fluid tapping was re-
sorted to in both cases. The fluid was
examined under the microscope and
hitherto unknown living organisms, be-
longing. probably to the protocol, were
discovered.
Prof. Waldeyer, to whom the prepar
atoms were submitted. advised that they
should be sent to DR.. Schaudinn, assist.
ant at the Geological institute of the
Berlin university, who has been investi,
eating the protozoa for years past. lie
began his examination on July 10 and
ascertained that in both cases the fluid
contained a Fhizpod, which he named
Leydenia gemmipara schaudinn. He
inferred that it is a pathogenic organ
ism, but both he and Prof. Won Leyden
stiU abstain from deciding as to the
connection between it and cancer,
though they admit the possibility OF
such q connection. They have made
a preliminary communication on the
subject to the Berlin Academy of Sci
enceS.

ANCIENT ADVERTISEMENTS.
They Were Written House Walls in
Spaces Called Albums.


Spaces Called Albums.
When some enterprising Greek or
Roman merchant Of old first Whitened
a portion of the wall of his house and
on this album, as il was called, rudely
scratched the symbols of his trade he
little dreamed it to be the dim fore
shadowing of miles upon miles Of pic
torial advertisements, first produced in
the interest of commerce, but destined
to come so close to art as to attract
more than passing notice from the es-
thetic connoisseur and collector says
Lippincott's.
Yet from the very earliest times
some sort of public advertising was
felt to be a necessity. Thus we read of
notices in the first days of the children
Of Israel being posted in the high places
of the proclamations generally,
of kings and prophets, inscribed on
parchment; and papyri more than 5000
years old have been eXhumed from the
ruins of ancient Thebes on which are
written descriptions of runaway slaves
and the rewards offered for their re-
turn.
Another heather mode of attracting
attention was to hang on the statues
OF the Internal deities, within the
temenos of the temples, sheets of lead
bearing curses and prayers of venge-
ance against those persons who had
stolen goods or otherwise injured the
advertiser, the evil to be deprecated
only in cafse of the restitution of the
property. A collection of such impre-
cations that was discovered in the tenn
pie of Demeter at Onidus in 1858 may Ee
seen in the second vase-room OF the
British museum

A CIRCULAR RAINBOW.
A Singular Phenomenon Witnessed in the
Mountains of India.


One of those peculiar atmospheric
phenomena. circular ruinbows, was OBJ
served in India by Lieut.. Wheelock
about the middle of August, says the
Chicago Journal. Mr.. Wheelock was
climbing a mountain spur at sunrise.
The atmosphere was clear, but there
was a heavy fog hanging over the val
leys. is the sun rose a rainbow, round
as circus ring, was seen in the fog
which all but obscured one of the beau
tiful lakes which are so common IN
India. Mr.. Wheelocli is trained
meteorological, and was not at all aston
ished to see circular rainbow, know
ing, as he did, the conditions under
which it was found. But hat attracted
his attention in particular was the
presence Of bright spot in the exact
center of the circular 'bow." This
spot was so intensely luminous that the
observer thought it might be bush fire
some distance away, but this supPosi-
ton was soon dispelled by further de-
velopments. Slowly and regularly, and
from all sides at once, the bright CEN
ter spot became surrounded by circles
Of radiating light, each containing all
of the primary colors, in fact, each
was a perfect miniature circular rain
bow. This wonderful phenomenon last
eI for about two hours, Or until the
sun had risen to such height that the
reflection sank back against the noun
tain eide. Mr.. Wheelock watched it
until it faded away, pronouncing it
the most beautiful and wonderful sight
he had ever behelG.
