THE PARSONS CIRCUS HORSE.
He Makes an Untimely Display of the
 Trick q Clown Taught Tim.


 Trick a Clown Taught Tim.
 Memory in horses varies almost as much as it does in human beings" re- marked one of a group discussing ami nal intelligence a few evenings ago. "Some rattle-brained nags will forget q thing about as soon as they learn, while C.hers, apparently much denser, never let gc of the smallest scrap of knowl- edge that has ever trickled through their thick pates. That applies partic- ri5iy to tricks, and reminds me, by the way, of an amusing little incident In the small town where l grew up there Was an 'od-schoor Presbyterian preach. CT who was, in every paticular, a model of austere propriety. He was tall and Eaunt. with a square-cut lron-gray beard and a long, smooth-shaven upper lip and I doubt exceedingly whether such a thing as a smile ever crossed his countenance.
 "One day there was horse auction in the vicinity. and the clergyman, hap rening by while it was in progress saw a rag that struck his fancy exactly. He was venerable slow moving beasl, with a very solemn expression, and the
 
 Iaal traveller under the saddle A matter of fact. the ancient plug had been the trick horse of small circus bat, becoming worthless through cid age, had been traded off to a deale,. During bis performing days the act would always open with the clown rid ing him into the ring and when lla tossed the reins over his neck as if U dismcunt. the horse would suddenly hump his back and throw him nearly thr1ngh the top of the tent Thst b,lcking throw was really ren1ark4 ble aod as the star trick of the whole r." pe;o're.
 f,nowing nothing of all this ribald history, the clergyman bid in the old tmer fer a song, and next day belng Sunday, saddled up his prize to ride to church. He had large Bible lnler ?ne arm and a blue gin~ham umbrella under the other, and as he came slowly down the road I remember being im- pressed by the strong resemblance b4- tween the old gentleman and his steed. When he reached the church door he called out Whoa, Peter!' and tossed the reina over the animals neck. Then a terrible thing happened Perhaps the voice of the parson resembled that of the clown, or perhaps the circus veteran, receiving his familiar cue, thought that this was a special occasion for showing off. At any rate he suddenly lowered his head. at the same time humping his back, and the astonished dominic, still clutching his Bible and umbrella, scared out of the saddle like a rock from cat apult He turned several somersaults in midair and brought up sitting in a huckleberry bush. It wouldn't be fair to repeat what he said, but his remarks | were quite out of his usual line. Mean while the old horse was looking around | for applause When the cir ! GUS story came to light next day the l parson sold him for three dollars"

as being as harmless as ordinary gela- tine or celluloid and similar in appear ance to these substances, and it is lf- fered to the government for a consid eration. The inventor proposes that volleys of these shells shall be eXplod- ed over an enemy's position, sprinkhng their contents far and wide, with the irresistible result of putting the entire opposing force to sleep.
 Another proposition which has just been brought before the board provides a powerful magnet to be suspended some distance above the head of eGch soldier by means of trellis attach ment to the helmet, it's purpose being to defect bullets in their flight frcSn the vital parts of the body. A modIl- cation of the proposition involves the suspension of similar magnets from the masts of warships to induce projectiles to seek trajectories overhead instead of hitting the vessel
 Army officers say, that these two schemes, while rather extreme, are not remotely different from numerous prop ositions submitted for consideration some of which are backed by strong political influences and many of which are accompanied by congress appropri- ations, Most of them, like the chloro- form shell and the magnetic helmet, will not be adopted in the service.

NOT A VERY BAD BILLET.

l am living with the soldiers here at
 Zamboanga, and I suppose the average
 man will pity me as he reads this He
 can save his pity for himself. With a
 good mosquito netting to protect one at night you can get along as confort-
 ably here as at any other army post that the United States owns. The regi- mental headquarters building where I am staying, was built by the Spanish officials. It is a big story house, covering perhaps a quarter of an acre.
 with balconies ten feet wide running around it, all shielded from the rays of the sun by oyster shell windows The house is floored with mahogany boards. some of which are two feet wide and twenty feet long. Its ceilings are from fifteen to twenty feet high. It is right on the beach and 1t is a stiff sea breeze which blows through it all day and all night. In the morning and evening we go out and take a bath in the sea, and I assure you that at this time f the year the Weatheri quite as pleasant as that of any of our middle states in June and July We have an excellent mesr, presided over by Major McMahon, one of the features of the breakfast being a glass of cocoanut milk fresh from he trees in the yard. There are other good quarters in different parts of the city, but so far some of the lower officers have not been able to get houses and they have put up sheds of bamboo and canvas on the parade ground not far from headquarters. These huts have floors and walls of bamboo but their roofs are made of tents. They are ele- vated about three feet from the ground and are by no means uncomfortable.
 1 find the soldiers well satisfied With their lot. They are excellent men, ccm- ing chiefly from Ohio, Indiana and Ken lucky, with a few from Pennsylvania and Tennessee G. Carpenter in Washington Star.

CORPSES HAD BEEN ROBBED

Galveston, Tex, November 29.-Forty-ive bodies of storm victims were found and buried on the island beyond the city limits this week by men authorized by the central committee to do the work. Prior to any action on the part of the central committee to have the bodies in the swamps and marshes down the island inferred there were several reports from these quarters of the neglected dead, and voluntary paT- ties organized and engaged in burial work Probably fifty or seventy-five bodies, vic tins of the late storm, were buried before the matter was brought to the attenion of the central committee.
 Few of the bodies were found in the open prairie, but in the swamps and low marshes many were recovered The corpses were decomposed beyond recognition, and not a thing of value was found upon them. The pockets of the mems clothes were turned inside out, showing that the corpses had been robbed. Many of the bodies of the which led the burial force to believe that most of the bodies found were those of working men.
 The work of burying squad was done systematically, and it Is believed all of the bodies on the island have been buried.
 It Is probable that the burying force will go on the mainland in a few days to con tinue the search for unburied bodies

SINGING INSECTS OF JAPAN.
Many Varieties, and Sold as Birds, Are
 Among Us.

Singing birds are esteemed in all coun- tries, but in Japan the musical sounds emitted by certain insects are appreciated. Listening to these minute singers has been for many centuries favorite pastime of the Japanese, and has given birth to an original commerce. At Tokio toward the end of May and the beginning of June, one sees suspended under the verandas of houses little cages of bamboo, from which break upon the silence of the fresh twi- light strange little whistlings of metallic modulations and light trills which fill the air with delicate music. It Is habitually in the evening" after the hour of the bath, that the people of Hokio seat themselves and listen to the shril concert. The most pri7ed of these singing insects is the suzu- mushi. It's name means insect beH, and the sound which it emits resembles that of a tiny silver bell. It is tiny black beetle with flat body. The kutsuwamushi is so named because it's cry resembles the sound made by a horse in champing it's bit. There are two species of 1t, the one light yell low and the other a pale green. Really, this insect is a kind of, winged grasshop- countries.
 Another singing insect much esteemed Is the. kirgrisu, which is also a very large grasshopper producing varied, strldent sounds. Then there is the chamoroki, ml- mute grasshopper which has a sound of re- markable clearness; the kantan, originally from China, which sings only at midnight; the kanetataki, whose song resembles the far-away cound of clock. In Tokio alone there are over forty merchants dealing in singing insects. This commerce is of rela- lively recent origin, though, for centuries the Japanese have been fond of the music of these insects. Formerly they would go In parties to places where the little musi- clans abounded, pass the night there ex- tended upon mats, drinking tea for sakt and listening to the harmony of the suzu- mushi and kutsuwamushi. It was onlyN about one hundred years ago that an anna teur named Chose had the idea of captur- ing one of these insects for his own par ticular diversion. Then, the singing season over, he forgot a certain number in d closed vase. Great was his surprise on open ing 1t the following year to find it filled with newly matched young. After that he gave himself up to the raising of various species of singing insects, and founded a trade which has flourished. Actually the greater number of singing insects are ar- tifieially raised, so that their matching cor responds to the seasons when their admir- ers love to listen to them and to combine their sounds

The men say they were engaged in prospecting about forty~miles from Soyapa, Sonora, Mexico, when the Indians appeared anh made them prisoners and ransncked their camp. Troops were dispatched in pursuit of the Indians as soon as 1t became known The Indians entrapped the Mexicans in a narrow defile of the mountains, and for a time the slaughter was fearful. The troops withdrew leaving twenty dead, and the battle con- tinued at long range While 1t was in prog resss the Americans escaped.

Howard in London.

London, November 29. - There is some comment here on the arrival in London of Sir Henry Howard the British minister at The Hague. It is officially explained that Sir Henry is taking a holiday, but it is ad- mitted that his presence in this city is not altogether unconnected with the approach ing arrival of MT. Kruger at the capital of Holland and the promised demonstration, which naturally would be very embarrass- ing to the British representative were he at the Dutch capital
