wIsTAR BROTHERS, PONIES.
the Owners of Rapidly In
creasing Herd.

Twenty-eight years ago the Wistal
brothers pastured piebald colt and
a piebald filly ON Black island, neaI
Tinicum island, and agreed with the
owner of the place, Edgar n. Black
then living, to pay one dollar week
for the care and maintenance of the
animals. Out of this ordinary trans
action grew one of the most curious
of all the Wistar brothers curious law
fights, and the story of the piebald
Wistar ponies has delighted Philadel-
phians of two generations.
When the Wistars put the two po-
nies on the island they seemed to have
forgotten one thing, that naturally
their flock would increase and null
tiply. If chance had landed two colts
and two fillies there all would have
been well, but chance had turned out
otherwise and the inevitable increase
began.
eve are not responsible for these
additions they said. 1--WE didn't put
these extra ponies there. So we won't
pay for them"
The matter was argued up and down,
time and again by Black, but the Wis
tars stood firm. Its none of our af-
fair" they reiterated. "You agreed to
pasture the ponies at one dollar a
week, do it," Then Mr.. Black had an
idea. "I'll sell the foals," he said.
This was staggerer for the Wis
tars for time well, go ahead"
they finally agreed, "only they're our
property, and we value them at $500
a pair. We won't let them be sold for
less"
When the amount due, according to
Mr.. Blacks count, after several years
grew to $4,000, he determined to sue.
The Wistards replied vigorously. De-
feated in the lower court, they ap-
pealed to the higher, and on losing re-
fused even then to pay. The levy of
sheriff was the only way in which
the money was finally wrung from the
brothers.
Meanwhile the ponies throve enor-
nous number of 100. They were wild
as the horses of the western prairies,
and they rapidly degenerated by fire.
quent inbreeding, both in size and ap-
pearance. Six thousand dollars was
the cost to the Wistars in 1890 for the
ponies pasturage, and it was gotten
only by means of the courts and sher-
iff. The largest bill was for $13,555.
The herd did not stand at 120 long,
and on January II, 1895, when some of
the ponies were taken away and sold
by order of the court to satisfy debts
against the estate, there were only
go. They were drivn out Walnut
street to Woodland avenue, and
crowds lined the streets to see the
famous Wistar piebalds. The dealer
who bought them paid for the lot S663.
They had cost the Wistars nearly fifty
times that Philadelphia Times.

Where Hearing Ceases.

Lord Rayleigh in a recent lecture
said that experiments had shown that
a vibration of sound having an ampli.
tude of less than one-twelve-millionth
Of centimeter could still affect the
sense of hearing. Such a vibration
would be SO short that it would have
to be enlarged 100 times before the
most powerful possible microscope
could render it visible, supposing that
it were susceptible Of being seen at
all. Old people, he said, do not hear
high notes which are audible to young
persons, and there is reason to believe
that babies hear notes which are in
audible to their elders.-Youth's Com
panion.

WHY SO MANY REGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female Ills-Some True
Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi-
clan and tells him a story, but not the
whole story.
She holds somethingIback, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifes the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
1t was for this rehson that years
ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
determined to step IN and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex-
perience in treating female ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour-
aged the women of America to write
to her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf-
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are the
grand results of her experience.

Postal Savings Banks.

Correspondence of the CALIFORNIAN
The proposition for the establish
ment of postal savings banks in this
country is meeting with good deal
OF quiet favor here in Washington.
1t is said, in fact, that the Postmas.
ter Generals bill will stand better
chance in the United States senate
than any other of the financial
measures proposed or likely to be
proposed by the present national ad.
ministration. Yet, it is predicted
that there will be a strong fight omit
when it comes up for action and that
1t will meet with manifest and deter
mined opposition. He has studied
all sides Of the question and will
doubtless make strong presentation
OF his case when called upon by con.
gress to support the plan by facts
and hgures. As an example near at
home, he will probably show the ex.
cellent workings of the system in
Canada, where, with her five millions
OF people, there were on deposit in

A Reviving Business.

However slight may be the realiza-
ton of the fact in this immediate Sec
ton, it is nevertheless true-if we
take the word of Dun's review OF
trade for the year past-that there
has been decided advancement in
business conditions generally, that
financial distrust has disappeared to
a gratifying extent, and that after a
whole year of freedom from business
disturbance or alarm, the men who
carry on the commercial life OF the
country can see improvement and
take courage for the year to come. 1t
is said that trade has been larger
during the year past than for any
since 1892.
This beginning Of an upfift from the
financial depression that has been so
seriously felt for some time past is
seen, of course, in the greater trade
centers first, and the whole country
will rejoice accordingly. So far as
the smaller communities are con-
cerned- communities like our own.
for instance--while the lifting of the
cloud may not be so perceptible, while
collections may still be slow and
trade much quieter than could be
wished, the reports from the buster
centers are yet full of hope for the
smaller and more remote localities;
and it needs only meager install.
ment of courage on the part of indi-
vidual business men to brace up COM
mercial transactions in these places
and hasten the same conditions as
are becoming apparent elsewhere.
Let us go into the new year with
all possible confidence, with economy
of management and close attention
to the demands of businessman the
results will be satisfactory.
