The Arab Mare.

The Arab is regarded as the first Of
horsemen and the Arab mare as the
perfect steed. The Arabs idea of
horse tanning is of the simplest. The

The Bedouin is very careful of his
mare. He does not mount her when
he sets out to play his usual tricks
upon travellers. He rides a camel to
which the mare is tethered. Not until
the caravan is in sight does he mount
the mare and give chase. There is, by
the way, an impression that the Bedouin
is a bloody minded person, who would

unfair to him; he is a thief of very

philosophy accounts for. No theory
of instinct-sometimes defined as q
faculty prior to experience and indie
pendent reason-will explain some ac-
tions of a clever dog whose case is
reported by correspondent of the
London Spectator:
1 knew a dog in Ireland-a retriever
who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish in his mouth, to be
filed at the late dinner For some
reason his master wished to make a
change and to feed him twice a day
instead of once.
The dog resented this, and, when told
to bring the dish, refused, and it could
nowhere be found on which his master
spoke angrily to him and ordered him
to bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepish ex-
preston he went down the length of
the garden and began scratching up
the soil, where he had buried the bowl
deep down to avoid having to bring 1t
at an hour of which he did not APP
prove.

GROWTH OF cARIcATURE.
John Laws Wild Schemes Gave 1t
Tremendous Impetus.

Caricature is nowadays one of the
movement can overreach the mark
without eliciting dozens of works of
art from caricaturists all over this and
all other countries.
This branch of criticism and attack
dates far back, but the greatest i'm
pulse it ever felt came from the age
of tremendous speculation, when, in
1910 and 1870, John Law was manipu-
lating things financial in France. Ney-
er before had the financial world been
so carried off its feet as 1t was at that
time Members of the nobility were
waiting for a chance to purchase
shares in Laws schemes. Duchesses
and ladies of high renown tried their
most persuasive charms on Law in the
attempt to get hold of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing desks,
so great was the press of business in
making contracts. and one hunchback
is reputed to have made 100000 francs
in this way in few weeks. The
French went veritably mad over the
schemes to become wealthy. Natural
ly the papers of the time, especially
those of Holland, caricatured the state
of affairs. There We're pictures of all
sorts, caricaturing Law. the nobility,
the schemes and everything connected
with them.
1t was this tremendous amount of
pictorial work that first directed the
energies of William Hogarth. in Lon
don, in this direction. Caricaturlng
began to be used more and more in the
political field. and soon afterward it
caused the shelving of Robert Walpole
from the English ministry. Ever since
then has caricaturing been one of the
bitterest and most effectual methods of
checking public men and their
schemes

"Well, two nicker is lady, wom-

II never heard the expression before.
Where does it come from?"
"Now you're too hard for me. l
don't know where it started, but in the
good old times of case type and hand
presses it was the common expression
used to designate a woman in a print
shop. 1t wasn't used outside of the
composing rooms. I'll tell you how |
think it arose All the old hand type,
as everybody knows, is provided with
hicks ON the side, so that the type
settlers don't have to look at the face of
the type to know how to throw it in
the stick. Far back in prehistoric
days the type had only one nick, but
later two hicks became the style, and
80 years ago two hicks was the usual
thing. But there came Improvements
in typemaking, and it was discovered
that three or four hicks on the side of
the type made it easier for the printer
to handle, and so the three or four
nicked type came into style and the
two nicked type went into disuse and
bad repute. Printers despised the two
nicked type About that time women
got foothold in the printing offices.
They were not regarded with favor by
the old time printers. The women and
the two nicked type We're in about the
same category in the esteem of the old
typo, and it was very natural that he
should come to express both by the
same words. They both became tive
nickers, and the expression has be
come traditional in printshops."- Mem

Mr., William Hawley Smith, in his

made by an Irish friend which might
be applicable in many cases:
He used to be very fond of hearing
the bishop preach and always went to
service when that dignitary held forth.
l met him on the street one Sunday
when knew the bishop was preaching
and asked him why he wasn't in his
pew, to which he replied:
'Troth, don't go to hear the bishop
ony more"
"Why, what's the matter?" 1 said.
"You haven't gone back on good

truth I'm tellin you. when you've heard
the bishop half dozen times all after

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL. Nd, December u, 1900.
A special message from Mayor Edward
Phelps was read at the last meeting of
the city council in which he suggested
the Importance OF appointing a committee
of elght-three councilmen and five repre-
sentative citizens-for the purpose of wait
ing on the management of the Washington
Traction Company to ask for the extension
Of the railway from Berwyn, the present
northern TERMINUS, to Laurel, the distance
between the two points being about nine
miles. Another point that the mayor
strongly favors Is the substitution Of arc
lights for the present incandescent electric
lights with which the streets Of the town
are lighted. He calls attention to the fact
that there are five towns between Laurel
and Baltimore which possess that system
| Of street lighting. - The question Of munich
pal ownership of o local telephones was
touched upon. The, success of the present
Tree library prompts the mayor to endeavor
to increase Its size, andehe recommends that
school No. L, at present not in use. be de-
voted to that object 1.-The success of the
present enterprises hass been exceedingly
gratifying to the promoters Of the scheme.
A citizens association or board Of trade,
Is also advocated by the mayor. In brief
resume OF the past tive years he points out
that authority has been secured for the in
stallation of water works system; high
school has been SECURED for the town. and
a handsome buildtBga erected therefor; the
completion Of the paving Of several streets
with brick; that asbll has been introduced
In Congress for the ERECTION Of new post
