to find out. No doubt, the mule knows,
but he will not tell. 1t may be in part, at
least. because q negro rarely ever strikes
a mule. He talks to him as II he were a
companion and sees to 1t that he gets the
best possible attention. Then, a negro
takes quality and quantity OF pride in
would try to take in draught horses. and
his mules seem to take pride in drawing
immense loads because they like to show
off that way. Perhaps experts In psychic or
occult forces could explain what kind of
cord 1t is that binds the mind Of a mule
to the mind Of negro in abject obedience.
but no iayman would undertake the JOB.
There is still another reason why mules
are not used in Chicago and other Northern
cities. The climate is against it. The
mule wants to live outdoors all the year
and in cold weather and in snowstorms he
wants no better housing than q shed with
straw bank on the windward side. Horses
often are overcome by heat. but mules
rarely ever mule would die Of broken
heart IL he had no home other than close
stable The comparative prices of mules
and horses show that horses have the
greater market value. but large mules sell
for more for draugtt purposes than horses
because they car draw equally as large il
not larger burd sIF are longer lived. are
not as prone to dist Use and do not require
as much attention as horses. The word
mule literally means bashful. simple an
imal, but that does not describe the Amer
lean variety. AS is generally known, all
American mules have horse blood in their
veins

THE MULES NATURAL BOSS.
Only the Black Man Recognized by
the stubborn Beast.

From the Chicago Chronicle.)
When the British Government put a
lot of American mules in service with
its South African army it found that a
| mule insists upon having for driver a
man who is acquainted with him and his
ways, tastes. and habits The demand of
the mule being ignored by the British
generals. he went off in a drove to see
If the Beers would give him his rights.
A mule will pull himself to Death II a
negro tells him to, but II the request
comes from a white man the chances are
that the mule will respond with both
hind feet. The mule may be a stupid and
stubborn animal, but he Is particular
about his human associations, and is al
ways ready to show his preference by
refusing TO move or by quick action of
his feet.
During the civil war q negro who was
loyal to his master and the south was
captured by the Federais. At his own re-
quest he was given a Job to tend mules
In a lot half mile away. the lot being
under the supervision Of white man.
About ten days later the outposts of the
Confederate forces heard the rapid advance
of the Federal cavalry. as they supposed.
and the alarm was given and passed back
to the main camp. A few minutes later q
negro astride q large mule. with thirty

command of the negro's master. Then ex-
plantations followed. The captured negro
said he went to the mule lot at his own
request intending to make de 'Quaintauce
Of dem meueIs and fetch EN- home" He
made their acquaintance and watching his
opportunity, mounted the mule he had Sc
lected for himself to ride. took turn
around the lot as fast as ever his mule
could carry him, the other mules falling in
behind him. Then he took a straight line
for the gate. yelling come on hyar. you
fool meuels.' 1t was ride Of fifteen miles
to the Confederate camp and he made tne
run without losing a mule. The secret of
his success was he got acquainted" with
the mules and they were willing to do his
bidding, a little feat that no white man
could have done.
The reason why mules are not used In
Northern cities for heavy hauling and are
used for that purpose in Southern cities is
because the drivers down there know how
to get acquainted with mules. A negro
is the only human being that mule will
recognize as his superior and will not kick
Why this is so no one has ever been able

WONDERFUL EASTER EGGS.
Magnificent Souvenirs of the Cxarina
Exhibited at Paris.


Easter is celebrated in Russia with
great ceremony, and the custom Of giving
elaborate Easter eggs has been carried
to extravaganza by the wealthy and aris-
tocratic people in St. Petersburg: but no
other Russian women have such collec-
lions of Easter eggs as the young Czarina
and the Dowager Empress.
1t has, for many generations. heen n
court custom for the reigning Car to
give to his wife at Easter time an egg
containing some handsome gift, usually
a souvenir of some particular event, and
the present Gar and his father. Alexan-
der ILL., have always observed the old
custom. The two Empresses have, with
considerable misgivings, it Is said, allow
ed their Easter egg collections to go to
Paris and be placed on exhibition in the
Russian section of the Exposition, and the
French dramatic temperament is deeply
stirred and moved by this testimony to
the intimate and cordial relations be-
tween the two nations. From the Easter
eggs are being Matched fraternal senti-
ments and touching enthusiasm with regu-
lar incubator expedition and despatch
Many of the eggs are exceedingly interest
ing as objects of art
The first received by the present -Czarina
was given to her in the year of her coro-
nation. 1t is a large golden egg, enameled
In rose color. and contains q tiny end
perfect model of the state carriage in
which the young bride rode 10 the Moscow
cathedral on her wedding day. The coach
is of gold, cushioned in red enamel and
hung with tiny silver curtains which can
be drawn on gold wires. The imperial
crown in beautiful diamonds ornaments
the panels.
The last Easter egg added to the Gar
mas collection was presented this wear
and incloses a splendid 1eweled heart set
in rare, many colored gems and sur
rounded by twenty-five tiny miniatures,
portraits of the members of the Russian
royal family.
Among the collection of the Dowager
Empress is one egg that commentaries

Nicholas H. the present Car, when a boy,

was shocked, the heir apparent's fond
parents were distressed, and altogether
there was very interesting exhibition

sion, stir up in royal family. Nicholas
was hurriedly sent around the world to
complete his education and, as usual. time
and absence reduced the royal heart to
its normal condition. but the Empress
grieved greatly over the separation from
her son, and on Easter of that year the

SECONDHAND SILVER STYLISH
Now a Proper Thing to Figure In
Bridal Presents.
(From the New York SUM-

(From the New York SUM
Here am" said the June BRIDE as she
was unpacking her presents after the
wedding trip, with seven different coats
of arms on my silver and yet none OF
them belongs to me or my husband. So
much for the fashion of making presents
Of old silver at weddings 1t will at least
be a pleasure to look up the crests In
some work on heraldry and speculate az
to the probable owners Of my silver at
some future time. A mustard pot, -four
salt cellars, a large pepper cruet, and a
cream jug are the seven pieces marked
with crests that are oil different and
plainly belonging to no branch Of the fam
lily.
Times have indeed changed when q girl
would Except SO gratefully somebody else S
old silver, however valuable II might be.
But there is nothing smarter today for a
wedding present than this old English
plate, and even If It's battered O little bit
and rather out of shape. the girl who re-
ceives old English silver may know that
she is getting something that was not only
costly. but is regarded as the finest thing
that she can have. 1t is always little in
teresting to speculate how they happened
to get out of the possession Of the family
that owned them before. Whether they
were stolen by the servants or sold by i'm
poverished younger sons It is never pos
sible to tell. 1t is certain. though. that
they are to be gotten in this country only
by paying large prices for them"
The most popular designs In table silver
today are the reproductions Of the Geor-
CLAN or other old patterns. Some effort has
been made to put the Gothic patterns. also
popular, upon the market, but they have
to struggles against the general objec-
ton to all articles Of Gothic design for do
nestle use.
1t is a surprise to most persons seeking
small silver, that the makers do not repro
duce more generally than they do the
Georgian patterns in certain forms that are
always in demand. The open-work silver
mustard pot. for instance. enclosing a COL
ored glass bowl. salt cellars OF the same
general design, and other similar small ar
ticles are always very much in demand, yet
it is difficult to find them in the stores not
devoted to the sale of old silver.
One Fifth Avenue silversmith explained
it the other day by saying that limitations
of these old pieces made 1t impossible for
makers to invent their own distinctive pat
terms, which they were always anxious to
do, as 1t kept their own designers employed
and enabled them to keep their prices up
to the standard by having something to sell
which could not be bought anywhere else.
