Horse Torturers.

The idea of putting spectacles on q
horse to make him lift his feet higher
than he otherwise would, because the
glasses make him think he is nearer
the ground than he is, may be quite
agreeable to those who think that the
Creator made mistake in giving the
horse tail; but every person who
possesses the humanity, without
which no one should be allowed to
deal with animals, and who has the
common sense to see what is right,
will regard the proposition with dis
gust.
If the man wants only a "high
stepper," let him buy the coach horse,
which is bred for the purpose, and not
try to make coacher out of a cart
horse. Similarly, if he wants horse
that carries his head high, let him buy
one of. the breed that does so by
nature, instead of one that has to be
strapped up till his neck aches. But
as to the tail, we believe that the law
now recognizes the use of that appen-
dage as the horses only defense
against the torture of flies, mosquitoes
and gnats, and makes docking"
penal offense hereafter, as it ought to
be. Brooklyn Citizen.

whistled by and stuck in the trees.
The waste of ammunition was ex.
traordinary. The dogs were kept out
side the circle.
"Then there was lull for hall
hour until all the men had taken their
positions. The leader of the hunt
rode along the line and made some
changes in order to fill up gaps be.
tween the shooters. Upon hearing
trumpet signal the whole band moved
toward the thicket. The order was
perfect. There was distance of some
300 feet between the shooters, which
diminished continually. The kanga.
roos which had been wounded were
finished as we advanced. When we
came within about 700 feet OF
the thicket the distance between
the hunters was reduced to from 70 to
80 feet. There we made halt. All
sat down, and about 100 dogs were
sent into the thicket. The loud
barking of the dogs and the cracking
of the branches broken by The fleeing
kangaroos drowned the shouts of the
hunters. The kangaroos came from
all directions, looking in vain for an
open space in the shooting line, and
then disappeared again in the thicket.
No one fired. This, however, did
not last long. The kangaroos, follow
ed eagerly by the dogs, had to leave
their shelter, broke from all sides of
the thicket, and precipitated them
selves with frantic haste upon the
shooting line. Then began the crack
ling of rifles again, and soon the
firing was general along the whole
line. Some of the kangaroos sue.
ceeded in breaking through, but most
remained there. I fred sixteen times
in five minutes. The shooting was
diminishing, and then there were
pauses between volleys, while some
of the men went into the thicket to
kill the wounded animals and drag
out the dead. We shot few more,
but the hunt was at an end.
"On the plain, which was the scene
of the last act of this interesting hunt,
bonfires were kindled, around which
groups of bearded hunters were
seated. Kangaroo tail soup was boil.
ing in great kettles, and glasses were
frequently emptied. Songs broke the
stiffness of the night, while the howl
ing of the dingoes that were feasting
on the carcasses was heard in the dis
tance. Finally everything was still,
one after another stretched himself
on the ground, and the clear, starry
sky was the only cover of the tired
sleepers.
"The following morning search was
made for dead animals. One hun
dred and sixty-six scalps were brought
in, which gave some three kangaroos
to each of the fifty-six hunters. As
many of the hunters refused to accept
the reward, the others made quite a
handsome sum from the scalp bounty
and the hides

A few lawyers were sitting in one OF
the city restaurants few days ago
eating lunch and discussing different
subjects, when one of them told the
following story:
This occurred some years ago in the
office of a former justice of the peace.
An attorney, who has since left Sioux
City, had been engaged to defend q
man for the crime of petty larceny.
The lawyer knew that the case against
his client was pretty strong one, and
he decided to beard the. lion in his
den. AS he entered the room he told
the justice of the case, the name of
his client, and added he did not think
there was any evidence to convict. At
the same time he slipped $50 gold
piece in the hand of the justice, and gave
him knowing wink. The court said
nothing, but, pulling open the cash
drawer, slipped the money in. The
case went to trial, and after the evil
dence had all been introduced there
appeared to be no question of the guilt
of the defendant. But his counsel
was confident, thinking the gold piece
had done the work. The court then
summed up the case, and, to the aston
ishment of the defendants counsel,
said:
''The court finds the defendant
guilty as charged in the information,
and fines him 500, of which amount
$40 has been paid. The defendant
will be committed to the county Jail
until the remainder is paid into this
court"
Nothing more was said, and the JUS
tice settled back in his chair, satisfied
that the laws of the State had been
upheld and dishonest attorney had
been left in the lurch. Sioux City

On the day following a Chinese
wedding, at least in certain provinces,
the BRIDES youngest brother goes to
inquire after her and to take present
from her mother of bottle of hair oil.
This is a custom so ancient that none
knows the origin thereof. No further
communications take place between
the bride and her family for three
months, when the mother sends a
sedan chair and an invitation to visit
her. If there has been neither a birth
nor death in her husbands or in her
mothers house for 100 days she goes
and makes short stay at her old
home. This visit over, she cannot see
her mother again until after her first
child is born, and not then should the
child be q girl. Even then if there
has been q death in either family the
visit cannot be made, and there have
been many instances where a mother
and daughter living very near each
other have not met for rs.-Boston

There is hardly country on the
globe which does not patronize our in
dustrial establishments, declares the
Atlanta Constitution. So rapidly
have we developed within the past
few years industrially that the de-
mand for our manufactured products
has become well nigh universal.
This is evident from glancing over
the record of some of our recent ex-
ports. Without going too much into
details, we select the following list:
Six 1000 horsepower stationary en-
gines from Erie. Penn, to Marseilles,
France; 1000 tons of iron pipe from
Birmingham, Ala, to Genoa, Italy;
fourteen locomotives from Philadel-
phia to Russia; seven complete paper
mills from New York to Japan; one
$50, 900 bicycle plant from New York
to Berlin; two locomotives from
Philadelphia to Mexico; six locomo-
tives from Philadelphia to Colombia;
one complete sugar refinery from
Toledo, Ohio, to Honolulu; one steam
lathe from Dexter, Me-, to Paris :;
thirty miles of steel rails from Pitts
burg to Japan; one complete electric
railway plant from Boston to Buenos
Ayres; forty chilled rolls from Apollo,
Penn, to England; two paper mills
from Wilmington, Del, to Sweden;
1900 tons of armor plate from Beth
lehem, Penn, to Russia; one under
ground system of electric railway for
London, England. OF course the
foregoing list is necessarily incom.
plete, but it suffices to show the world
wide character of the demand for CIR
Industrial products.

There is growing interest in the use
of petroleum as fuel, and many adj
vantages are claimed for it. The linn
tied storage space required, the fact
that it is almost entirely consumed,
there being but very little waste, and
the ease with which it is handled, are
strong points in its favor. 1t pro-
duces no ashes, and contains twice as
much heating power as coal, ton for
ton. 1t is cleanly, and, when proper
ly managed, practically odorless.
There is room for improvement in the
appliances for using this sort of fuel,
but such rapid progress is being made
in this direction that the general
adoption Of petroleum as fuel for
certain lines of work is an assured fact.

Recovering French Treasure.

For many years local legend in
Frankfort-on-the- Main had it that
big treasure of gold lay buried in the
Main River, just beneath the big, old
bridge. On moonlight nights, it was
said, one could see the gold glisten in
the water. Recently the fact became
patent that there must be founda-
ton for this old tradition, for skip
pers steadily fished up gold pieces
from the river bed in the vicinity
named. At last the Prussian Govern
ment made a thorough investigation,
and within a week one treasure, at
least, was brought to light-about
1900 French gold coins of the times
from Louis XIV. to Louis XVIII, as
well as of the first republic. This is
evidently part of Freneh war treas
ure lost or buried there during the
troublesome Napoleonic period. Search
is being continued now, as it is prob
able that more of this treasure may be
brought to light.
