ENGLAND's WHITE HORSES.
Historic Animals That Are Found in Various Parts of Berkshire
 and Wiltshire.

In the Occasional Magazine there is an interesting article on the historic white horses which are to be found in various parts of Berkshire and Wilt shire. In Wiltshire are no fewer than six of these horses. The most famous is the one on Bratton Hill, near Vest bury. Local tradition has it that AL fred, after coming to the throne, won his greatest victory over the Danes, the battle of Ethandun, and cut out the figure of white horse on the hill- side to commemorate. The horse itself is exceedingly quaint in form, having very short legs and curious crescent at the end of the tail, an- other mark of some of the horses on British coins. q
 Other turf monuments of the same description are the two white crosses at Bledlow and Whiteleaf, on the Chiltern Hills, in Buckingha1nshire and two gigantic human figures, one on the downs near Calne, and the other, the Long Man of Wilmington" near Eastbourne. In addition to these there is the famous Red Horse at Tysoe, in Warwickshire; the two mod ern White Horses in Yorkshire; the equestrian figure of George III. on Darlington Down, Dorset, and on Nor mond Hill, in 7Aberdeenshire, where there is a White Horse dating from the last century, and a stag cut out in 1870.

CATS EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.
Jumped from the Top of Washing toms Monument and Survived
 the Feat.

In the latter part of 1880, at a time when the Washington monument had reached height of 16o feet, an ad- venturous and patriotic cat ascended the interior of the shaft by means of the ropes and tubing. When the work men arrived at the upper landing the next morning and began to prepare for the day's work, pussy took fright and, springing to the outer edge, took header" of 160 feet to the hard earth below. In the descent, which was watched closely by two score of men, the cat spread herself out like fly ing squirrel and aighted on all fours. After turning over on the soil few times in dazed manner, she prepared to leave the grounds, relates the Wash ington Star.
 She had got almost beyond the shad- ow of the monument when a dog be- longing to one of the workmen bounced upon her and killed her, she of course not being in her best rum ming trim after performing such an extraordinary feat. One of the men procured the body of the dead feline. smoothed out her silky coat and turned the remains over to representative of the Smithsonian institution, who mounted the skin and placed it under a glass case. The label on the case tells this wonderful story in few words: "This cat on September 23, 1880, jumped from the top of Wash ington's monument and lived"

 There are more perilous places than the inside of a modern railroad car. In Great Britain last year railroad acci- dents killed one passenger in every 79,000,O00. The interstate commerce commissions tables for the year 1S99- 1900 show one passenger killed in this country for every 64, ,413,6S4 miles tray eled. Of the 249 passengers killed in that year only eighty-eight lost their lives in collisions and derailments. The Railroad Gazette figures it out that the ordinary American who does not fool with his life may reasonably expect to travel in safety 182, ,261 ,445 miles by rail before perishing in a collision or a derailment.-Ha Hartford Courant.
 Touching a recent paper of Bran der Matthews on "The Spelling of English one of his critics seems to make an indubitable hit when he asks how MT Matthews, who prefers the spelling "thoro" to thorough" justi- aes himself on phonetic grounds.

'" Many readers will sympathize with an other remark of this same writer when

 There will be time enough for be- coming excited over this story from South America. of an insult to the German flag, after an official confirma- tion of the news arrives. If the Co lombians have really misconducted themselves in the matter alleged, humble pie will be their portion. This country has never undertaken to pro- tect the smaller American republics in wrongdoing. It has said that no European power shall seize their ter ritory and subvert their institutions; it says so still. But it will not interpose between them and merited punish ment, as long as the Monroe doctrine is respected.- Hartford Courant.
