whether in harness or mounted. Showed
nothing out of the usual course in her
gait. This was very fast and graceful;
but one fine day, in moist autumn
weather, the animal began to limp.
From that time her owner noticed that
she limped only in going against the
wind, or entering an alley filled with
mist; except under these conditions, if
she limped, it was a sure sign of rain.
If, soon after rain, the limping failed to
manifest itself when going against the
wind, the return of fine weather was TO
be predicted; prolonged rest prevented
or retarded the return of the limping.
according to the weather, or diminished
its intensity; after the heating effect of
journey of several leagues the limp
did not reappear until after a stop of
considerable duration. In the absence
of such stop the animal could run q
long race without being obliged to
change her gait Such are the facts
shown by observations taken durin"
five years. during which the mare has
been constantly used. This baromet-
rical mare is curious example of the

perts in such matters.

TEN THOUSAND DEAD WOLVES.
Heavy Drain on North DaLOta's
Treasury Caused by Bounty Law.

The last legislature appropriated $12.-
600 TO carry out the provisions Of wolf
bounty law that gave three dollars for
each wolf slain in any part Of North Da-
kota, and expected the money to last
through full biennial period TIL the
next session. Now it has been shown
tina. the appropriation for the two years
viii be Oyerdrawn by at least Sic 600 in
the first few months of the first season.
At least 10000 wolves Of the large gray
variety have been killed by hunters
and trappers who have made business
of the matter this season.
The wolf bounty law was passed at
The earnest request of stockmen in all
parts of the state. whose losses from the
ravages Of the gray wolves have been
exceptionally large and were continual
~ increasing. The majority of the Ger
tlhcates come from the western part of
the state, and the next greatest number
from the northern tier of counties. Bill
lings county. one of the largest stock
counties Of the state, viii have a thou
sand or more certificates. Billings also
pays a county bounty, which is draw
ing heavily on her resources. There are
a thousand certificates out in Williams
county, and one man has nearly 300. He
is said to be the champion wolf hunter
of the state.
The favorite method of killing wolves
is with dogs. Poisoning was the former
method. Shooting is a surer method,
but 1t is difficult to get close enough TO
wolf to secure good shot. With dogs.
wolf seen is as good as captured if the
dogs are good, and many of Nhem are
being bred for that purpose.

DIANA'S MIRROR.

The Nemi lake. in Latium, is by &

In classic times, says the London
Daily Graphic. it was bounded by a
vast forest. the whole region was sa-
cred to Diana and the bright surface
of the lake was called Speculum Di-

temple of the goddess beside the lake

treasures and records OF the court of
Tiberius and the cult of Diana.

MATERIALS OF BIRDS NESTS,
Strange Composition of Some Odd
SDecimens.

The instinct of birds does not compel
them in building their nests to use only
familiar materials. The Literary Di-
gest translates from French period
zeal the following examples of a birds
facility of adaptations:
birds nest was found in the suburbs
of Lille aaat was composed of white
wool and of strips of paper from a tele-
graph office where the Morse system is
used, situated several miles away.
The bird must have made consider
able number of trips, for the quantity
of paper was large, and it had made a
good choice Of INA terial, for everyone
knows that paper is bad conductor of
heat; it holds heat well. and one does
not need 10 have travelled around the

Near Besancon another nest was
found, made wholly of watch springs.
evidently taken from the factories in
the neighborhood. Here the selection
was less happy, for metals are good con-
ductors of heat. Finally. near a spot
where large ST. Bernard dog is kent
was found nest built of hair detached
from the dogs coat. In this case the
inspiration was evidently good.

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON.
Chicago Womnn's Funny Attempt to
Suppress COckfiEhtinE.

The Bridgeman family have a good
joke on mater, reports the Chicago
Times-Herald. She had promised ten
year-old Dick a spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and his game chickens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakable signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and well behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul. for the mill of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family.
Straight to Dicks room she went, and
ii her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow il did
not stay her hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly roar came
forth in the bass of her grown-up son.
Thunder and blazes, mother, what
the deuce is the matter?"
There was an explosive smoker from
under the bed, but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up to trace the smoker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get a prom
ised spanking.

WOMEN ALONE IN EUROPE.
American Wives q Source of Wonder
ment to Europeans.

Among Europeans of what are called
the upper classes much surprise is con
stantly expressed at the freedom with
which American women travel uues-
corted through Europe. 4 recently re-
called American minister to CONT
mental court was once asked by court
official: "Haf American wifes no hus-
bands at all. then? They come-three.
four. six at once TO court. They ask
to be presented TO the king; they ask
TO be invited to state dinners; they
must walk in nit a duke. There are
not dukes enough to go round. Why
do not their husbands come and walk
in NIT some duchesses?" At the Aus
trian court no Americans outside of the
diplomatic circle are presented; very
few at Berlin; while Queen Margharita
of Italy. who has been more hospitable
to our people than any other CONT
mental sovereign, has recently declined
to receive any married woman unac-
companied by her husband. Have
they no homes in their own country,
these poor ladies?" asked a French
woman, that they spend months or
years in Europe wandering about
alone?" 1t was explained to her that

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM.
Its Development Since It's First In
trOducfinn

When the plant was introduced, about
1910, it was only the small daisy-like
flower, now only seen as a rule in cot
tage gardens, which was highly priced
as novelty. The taste for growing
and showing it began early, and before
1850 there were many chrysanthemum
societies in existence. among them the
Stoke Newington. which formed the
nucleus of the National society. Yet it
was not until 1850, when the plants suf-
fered severely from early frosts, that
there was any idea of growing them
under glass. The japanese variety was
noticed in 1864 as a novelty, very curl
Gus and interesting. but scarcely orna-
mental" How little did the author of
these remarks suspect that a future was
before the plant he so summarily set
aside. Three years later, however, we
find japanese varieties recommended
with pompom and incurved, and since
then they have increased in favor, says
Longman's Magazine.
The gorgeously colored mop-like
blooms now exhibited every autumn
would certainly astonish that writer
Of 30 years ago. The golden and bronze
shades of the chrysanthemum suited
the taste OF the promoters of the high
art aesthetic movement of few years
ago, which, if it had no other merit.
helped to bring this flower more for
ward and revived the culture of sun
flowers, which were fast becoming ex-
inct in our gardens.

THE FIRST PORTRAIT.
or n Human Being Was Taken In Phil
adelphin in 1880.

AS matter of fact. ne first portrait
of a human being was taken in Phila-
delphia in November, 1889, by Robert
Cornelius. and was exhibited before the
American Philosophical society. as is
noted in the minutes, of the society, De-
cember 6. 1889, says the Philadelphia
Times. This identical portrait is now
in possession of the writer. Further. a
studio for "Daguerreotype Miniatures
was established and was in successful
operation long before either Draper OF
Morse claim to have made their frs;
successful attempt. Even Morse's
views of the 'old brick church" were
made long after Joseph Saxton. of Phil
adelphia. had made his experimental
exposures from the window of the
United States mint on Chestnut street.

have been repeatedly set forth upon

STATUE WITH a WARDROBE
Figure of q Nude Roy In Brussels Hn 4
Nine Different Suits

One Of the most curious things in
Brussels, a thing that must be charac-
terlStIc to some extent of the temper of
the people, is the little manikin statue
and fountain, says the Kansas CITY
Journal. 1t is a statue of a naked boy
said to have been erected by a nobleman
whose lost son was found on this spot
But there is not the least excuse for the
boys nalledness, for he is wei sup
piled with clothing of many sorts and is
rich enough to buy more suits occa-
sionally. Louis Nv. decorated the sta tue
with the order of the Holy Ghost. pos
sibly at moment when another sort
of spirit had possession of him. and It
is the owner of nine handsome costumes
belonging to nine different periods
On fete days the boy is gorgeously clad:
sometimes in old French costumes.
sometimes in the uniform of the Guard
Civique. All this is funny enough. but
not as curious as the rest. II is the
fashion for wealthy maiden ladies of
Brussels to fall in love with the statue
and remember it handsomely in their
wills. Through one such bequest this
petted boy is provided with a valet at
salary of $40. and a short time ago an
other unwedded admirer left 5000 for
the completion and maintenance of his
wardrobe

\ story that is worth telling, becauS.
it gives evidence of a good and generous
spirit. has leaked out of the doors of a
big wholesale house in this city, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. The
head member of the firm, jolly, strong
tempered gentleman, soldier of the con-
federacy, affectionately called "Old
Man" by the clerks, decided to take a
well-earned vacation last summer. and
left for an extended tour over the con-
tinent. While he was gone the depres-
sion in business occurred. and il seemed
to the junior partners that something
must be done to avert serious losses.
They considered the matter long time,
and at last decided to cut down the sal
aries of the clerks. They agreed upon
a so per cent. cut, and so notified the
clerks. Of course, there were few
murmurS, and some of the employees
were heard to say that if the "Old Man
was at home this wouldn't be done, etc.
But as employment was not easily TO
be obtained. the cut had to be accepted.
and it went into effect from tie 1st of
September. About a week ago the "Old
Man" returned. When he walked into
the store on the first day faces bright
ened and his employees came up to eX-
change greeting. The "Old Man" was in
good humOr. He walked into his office
whistling a tune, glad to be back in his
accustomed place. But during the after
noon he went over the books with his
Junior partners. and noticed the reduc-
tons in the salary list. What does this
mean?" he asked. The partners told
him. and then he let loose. The "Old
Mans" war spirit arose. He walked up
and down eXcitedly, and Murdered out
