A Horses Flinders.

A horses binders ore usually con-
cave on the inside. True, the surface
usually Is q dead black, but not abso-
lutely so so that gllmmer Of light
may be reflected from them. BY con-
stant cleansing this dead surface is
made more or less smooth II not actual
ly glossy and shiny. Moreover, the
binders are usually set Mt an angle, SO
that as a result of the law Of reflection
rays Of light concentrated by the con-
vex surface are reflected into the eyes,
not directly in the axis Of vision, but
more or less transversely or obliquely,
the result being even more Injurious.
AS result Of this reflection the vision
is weakened If pot destroyed.
Moreover, the mirrorlike binders not
only reflect sunlight. but they reflect
objects as we'll, so that q blinded"
horse sees not only objects directly
ahead Of him, but has more or less
blurred vision of other objects, inter
mixing with and confusing the image
Of objects directly before him, and rs a
consequence he Is rendered uncertain
In his movements and Is easily scared
No further proof Of this is needed than
the fact that nervous horse with
reputation for shying and running
nway often becomes tractable II the
binders are removed, because he can
then see distinctly what before he
could only See indistinctly and confus-
edly.-Our Animal Friends.

Mines That Burn For Years.

A number Of good sized mines are
now on fire In the United States md
have been for years. The Vulcan mine
on the Green river, opposite Newcastle,
In Colorado, has been on fire since the
great explosion several years ago, when
about so persons lost their lives. All
efforts to quench it have proved fruit
less. In Butte there is mine which
has been atire since 1884. 1t has been
treated with carbonic acid gas gener-
ated on a large scale, quicklime and
acids and all the sitting devices that
genius and experience could devise, but
so far without effect.
In Pennsylvania there are several
steadily burning mines, and In one
place where the outlet Of natural gas Is
very great the spectacle it affords is OF
SURPRISING interest. For miles around
q great tower Of FIRE may be seen day
and night, and the dense black smoke
which 1t gives Off settles upon the sur
rounding country. How mine gets
afire Is easily explained, even though
the greatest precautions are taken to
prevent it. Coal seams exude a gas
varying in quantity according to the
pressure and the quality OF the deposit,
which gas when mixed with air In GER
tain proportions is about as explosive
as gunpowder.--Ne York Post
Catoctin clarion., 1900-10-11
Confscation In Morocco.

It ia q custom In Morocco that oil the
property Of an official reverts at death
to the crown. The logic which leads to
such a result is simple, for the govern
ment argues that all fortunes thus &C.
cumulated consist Of moneys illegally
retained by the authorities. A govern
or when appointed Is probably possess
ed of no considerable fortune. When
he dies. he may be millionaire.
Whence came his wealth? Squeezed
most certainly from the tribes under
his authority and therefore amassed
only by the prerogatives Of the posi-
ton in which the sultan had placed
him.
It has never struck the Moorish gov
ernment that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were stol-
en-. The result Is entire conflscation to
the crown, including often such private
property as the governor may have
been possessed Of before his appoint
ment and not seldom, too. Of the prop
erty of his relatives.
When the mighty fall In Morocco, the
crash brings down with them their
families, even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them, and 1t Is not
seldom that the sons Of great govern
ors, who have been brought up in the
luxury Of slaves and horses and reti-
nues Of mounted men, have to go beg.

Funny Freaks of Yyette GuIlbcrt

Mile. Yvette Guilbert In the heyday
Of her American success was In splen-
did spirits. In crossing a certain dis
trict on Sunday she was unable to get
bottle Of claret.
"If give 1t to you, madame" said
the waiter. Il shall have to go to JAIL
Then Co." said Mile. Guilbert cheer
fully, but first get me my clarct."
One afternoon in Chicago two blank
cards were sent up to her by callers de-
string her autograph. On the one shc
wrote, "Yyette Guilbert is very good
singer" and on the other, "Yvette Gull
bert is very naughty singer"
"Now." she said airily as she dropped
them on the tray, ''let them choose
wheech is whcech."
Her wisdom was Of worldly de-
scription. "For who will give me bread
when l no longer please by my songs,
the dear publcec? No. Therefore come
to America and come high."-Satur-
day Evening Post.

No Joke In That.

"Blarsted idiocy, but what"

"Yes."
"And not any different from the rest

"No. But the joke, the joke! 1t is so
adroitly put. In apparent inadvertence

One summer when William NJ. Evarts
was Mt his country home in Windsor,
Vt, farmer who had followed his pO-
litical career In the newspapers for
many years was extremely anxious to
see him in the flesh and drove 1S miles
into town in order to catch glimpse
of his Idol.
Senator Evarts at that time was be-
Ing entertained constantly, dining out
almost every night, and as he drove out
Of his grounds to an appointment one
evening the farmer was lying In wait
for him In the road. The latter, seeing
the pale, ascetic face and mcagcr form
Of the famous statesman, was disap-
pointed.
"Well, declare" he exclaimed,
"looks as If he'd always boarded"
An impromptu riddle is attributed to
him here at his country place. One
day In presiding at table with swarm
Of grandchildren about him he asked,
What is the difference between this
goose before dinner and me nfterY
After much futile guessing he said 10
quiet glee:
Now the goose Is stuffed with sage.
