MILD EXCITEMENT

A Chinese hack equine created a mild
excitement last Saturday afternoon by
making a spirited attempt at perform
ing a la circus horse on the Rapid
Transit bridge over the Nuuanu
stream. He started his performance by
running away from his driver on Bere-
tania street and gallOped down towards
the river. Here the Rapid Transit
bridge came in his range of vision and
the idea struck him that he had a latent
talent as a performer and that here .
chance offered itself for him to show
what he could do.
The horse consequently made a leap
out on the bridge. The hack struck
the first tie with a violent shock which
caused II to part company as the shock
was too much for rivets and leatnGr
and the harness went to pieces.
The horse freed by this encumbranCs
tried to continue his ambitious career.
He literally fell down in his perform
ance. however. and got stuck between
the ties. II took number of men
about eight minutes to bring the ami
NAL upon terra firma again by the aid
OF boards which were used as levers.

Educating Trick animals.

According TO Paul Megrim, who Is
apparently a narisian authority on
animal training, the education Of the
cat is a much more difficult task than
that OF the dog. Cats are less gour.
mands and all violence is useless.
They must be treated with politeness.
In order to train any animal ii is nee.
essary to study it well; to know its
character, habits and little personal
peculiarlties.
A young cat should be taken who
has no bad habits, nor companions.
Every day at "a certain hour some reg
ular operation should be gone through
with. At first, 10y inducing him to play
a little game, perhaps. Finally, some
part Of this game, such as sitting up,
or standing on the hind legs, will have
been learned so well that il can be in
duced without the remainder by some
sign from the teacher, and the first
stage in the Kittens education has
been passed After this point the re.
mainder is comparatively simple, and
the further training will simply depend
on the limits of the individual cats
intelligence.
The suburban citizen., 1902-06-07
Dog and shark,

The dog had gone into the water
after sticks and stones Che had a per-
feet passion for diving, unusual in
dogs of his breed, of which he was
later on to give still more signal proof,
and, just as he was landing on ledge
of rock, and still half immersed. had
given a howl, plunged again beneath
the surface, and, after what seemed a
sharp tussle, reappeared streaming
with blood. AS we were talking over
the incident, some Cingalese natives
came on the scene with a small shark,
some five feet long, which, after pa
tient angling for a fortnight, they had
caught on the very spot 1t was diff
cult not to believe that this was the
offender. The shark had evidently
nipped, or rather scraped, Ben with
his teeth just as he was getting out OF
the water, but not getting a good pur-
chase of him, had been made to relin-
guish his hold, the bitter, in fact, in this
case, having been probably himself
severely bitten. Few dogs imagine,
have gone through such peril, and
lived to wag their tails over it.-r'

,rHEY ARE lMIrArloN pEoPLE."


what an English Critic Thinks of the
Heroe4 and Heroines of Modern Novels.
The author or authoress of to-day
does not seek to give his or her reader
friend or an enemy in his or her
hero or heroine. AS rule, with a
very few notable exceptions, we do
not care bit what happens to them,
we only care to know how they are
made. The authors of their being pick
them TO pieces before our eyes, and
we watch to see how lifelike he has
made them and how naturally they
squeal Their mental anatomy is cop
led minutely from many modern
women, and their makers have pushed
the study Of mental anatomy further
than It ever was pushed before. Their
environment, too, often is extraordl-
narily natural, and well depicted. No
god out Of a machine interferes in
the misfortunes Of a modern heroine,
and the old theory of poetic justice
has been long thrown aside as lumber,
| together with other worn out prop
critics of a passed away fiction. To
ask at the present day how a story
ends, whether happily or unhappily
is TO give ones self away for an old
man. or one without feeling for lltera-
| mre. Novels are not intended to sup
Lly us with agreeable society-they
are essays in art. Yet these dreary
stories, whose dramatis personae ag-
oh
be dignifed with the name of tragedy;
they have nothing of "the consecra-
ton and the poets dream" Their
sorddness is too often wholly unre.
lleved by any touch of poetry.
What is the meaning of this change?
Have all our hearts become hard, so
that we cannot be moved by any tale
of suffering or feel any desire to see
the sunshine of success, so that ;'ur
romance writers awake in us nothing
hut an intellectual sensation of criticsf
enjoyment? Are we so weary and so
blase that, having exhausted all pleas
ant sensations, we must turn to watch
| pain as something new? We do not
believe for an instant that this is the
true explanation of this curious phe-
nomenon. We believe the fault, o,
rather the failure, lies at the door CT
the new writer's of fiction. Their char
acters do not live. They are imitation
people; the most wonderful, the most
perfect limitations which have ever
been produced-but they are not alive.
They have never passed that mysteri.
GUS barrier between consciousness and
unconsciousness. Their very authors
do not believe they live-if they did
they would feel for them-and the
readers do not believe they live either
