Horse Torture.

The idea of putting spectacles on a
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 a mistake in giving the
horse a 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 disgust. If the
nan wants only a high stopper" let
him buy the coach horse, which is
bred for the purpose, and not try to
make a coacher out of a cart horse.
Similarly, if he wants a horse that
carries his head high, let him buy one
of the breed hat 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 %appendage
as the horses only defense against the
torture of flies, mosquitoes and gnats
and makes docking" a penal offense
hereafter, as it ought to BEDROCK,
Ign Citizen.

Birds Can Sew.

Sewing seems 80 ingenious an art
that it must be reserved for the hu-
man species alone. Yet the tailor
bird, the Orthotomus lo%ngicauda,
and other species possess the ele-
ments Of it. They place their nests
in a large leaf which they prepare to
this end. With their beaks they
pierce two row of holes along the
two edges of the leaf; they then pass
a stout thread from one side to the
other alternately. With this leaf,
at first fat. they form a horn in
which they their nest with
cotton or hair. These labors Of
weaving and sewing are preceded
by the spinning of the thread. The
bird makes it itself by twisting in its
beak spiders webs, bits of cotton,
and little ends of wool. Sykes found
that the threads used for sewing
were knotted at the ends. -Popula ar

According to government reports the
mortality of farm animals, both from
exposure and from other causes, has
been below that Of the preceding win
ter; of horses 2 per cent are reported
as having died from disease, against
81 per cent the previous year; of cat
tie, a mortality of 1.3 per cent from
winter exposure, and Of 3.3 per cent
from all cause is reported, as against
1.6 per cent from exposure and 3.5 per
cent from all causes the preceding win
ter; Of sheep the deaths from exposure
amounted to 2.7 per cent, against SO
per cent the previous year and to So
per cent from all causes, against So
per cent the previous year. While hog
cholera has been more or less destruc-
tive, the total losses of swine have
amounted only to 9.3 per cent, against
14.4 per cent the preceding year. With
regard to farm animals in general the
department correspondents report them
in good condition as the result of the
generally mild and dry winter and the
abundance of feed. In California the
winter has been a severe one, and Its
effect is shown just as markedly in tn.
mortality of farm animals as in tn.
moo condition of winter wheat.

A British Breach Of Promise Case.

A British noblcman who was sued
for breach OF promise is reported to
have declared that it was impossible
for him to contradict a lady and
that, therefore. he would not deny
that he had made the promise; but
he insisted that the lady had
exaggerated the value Of his af-
fections and that value was a fair
question for a jury. The lady re-
covered q per cent or so of her
original claim and the mulcted noble
man declared that the cross-examin-
alton of her by her counsel was amp
ly worth the money.

rTht Smiths, man and wife, discussed
AN armistice, and the man began one.
The wife, however, demurred with a
loud voice and arms akimbo, as if she
were a persistent rebel in Cuba:
whereupon the man said, in a state of
disgust, well, if that's an armistice
we had better for the sake Of peace
go to war again." Some people think
it takes both sides to create an a1mis-
tice. What if Lincoln had proclaimed
one and Jefferson Davis had said he
wouldn't have it?
