Here is a lad who is getting his
first lesson in individual responsible
ity. He has been on the hunt before,
but only as one Of the family; now he
must begin to act the man. His father
has saddled wild pony, and tells his
son to mount it. The boy hangs back;
the colt is fiery creature, and is
already chatting under restraint The
father tells the boy that the pony
shall be his when he has conquered it,
but the boy still does not move Sud-
denly he seems to wake up. He adj
vances slowly but steadily towards the
pony. The pony backs away, but the,
boy, by a quick movement, grasps It's
name and springs into the saddle.
The pony jumps, wriggles, humps it's
back like an Infatuated cat, stands on
its fore legs and kicks at its own tail,
paws the air and stamps the ground,
but the boy clings to it. when suddenly
the saddle-girth breaks, and the pony
losses the boy over its head, and runs
away for life and liberty.
1t is soon caught and brought back,
shaking its head angrily the while, as
if protesting against such foolishness.
Again the boy mounts, and again he
is thrown. This happens several
times, and the boys mother gets anx-
ious. She goes up to him and feels
him all over to see that no bones have
been broken. He becomes impatient
at the delay; he is going to ride that
pony now, or die So he mounts again,
and this time he stays on. In vain the
pony throws itself about in every
direction, and lashes itself into foam
and fury-the boy sticks, and the pony

and laughable and hinge on a baby
that Rhinebeck finds in his home and

In a small village in Rhode Island
are two wooden factories, and between
the upper one and a pond is a long
canal or mill race. Through this race,
when the factories are running, the
water flows very swiftly. Near the
upper mill, and leaning over the race,
is small tree, its slender branches
bending down almost to the waters
surface. One day pair of robins
were noticed examining this tree, and
an hour or so later, they had busily
engaged in building a nest in a fork
OF one of the branches, directly over
the swiftest part of the race Many
curious eyes watched them from the
factory windows. The place was so
exposed, and yet so inaccessible; al
most within arms length Of the public
road, and yet beyond the reach of the
most agile cat, whose weight would be
too heavy for the slender limb. BY
noon the next day the nest was two
thirds completed. Then suddenly, to
the surprise of the two or three that
happened to be watching at the time.
the robins ceased work, as though in
sudden doubt. Evidently a new idea
had occurred to them or me knowl-

He never wronged a human being
He was the friend of man. Denied by
nature the gift of speech, he yet I'M
derstood. His chief delight was at his
masters side, where by silent glance
or wag of tail he told his wants or ex-
pressed content. He was more than
great. Hugo said of his kind: Man
has three friends-his God, his mother
and his dog. Total depravity and fam
lily pride may cause the first two to
desert, but the faithful dog never. .
While others slept he stood guard
that man, the noblest work of God, .
might not pillage and do murder. 'Tis

space without end and matter indie

claimed departed spirits seeking a

in beasts and birds and creeping
things, and these in time became sa-
cred and were worshiped as gods.
Who knows, therefore, but in this
general mixup of time, space and mat
ter, but what the ancients were cor
rect, and transmigration more than
true? For in our imagination we can
ask the question great Caesar being
dead and turned to clay might stop a

common cur, or more becoming still,

fear, hated by all mankind? Man, this
noble work of all creation, hath for

man action, but some insist because
the dog is rogue by nature and needs
restraint, the law must consign him to
a final resting place for dogs in the
potter's field. But after all, this may
not be so bad, the sweetest flowers
grow outside the garden wall, and the

ghosts that stalk among the tombs

edge Of something overlooked, for after
a hurried consultation they began to
remove the nest, carrying it away
straw by straw Later it was discov-
cred that they had rebuilt in a thick
clump Of alders and only few feet
from the ground. And the reason was
too patent even for speculation. The
robins first idea had been to put their
home beyond the reach Of boys and
predatory animals. Here the mill race
had seemed safeguard to them.
Then they must have looked forward
to the time when their little ones
would be old enough to leave the nest,
but too weak to fly. What would hap

HUSBANDS FAULTS CURED.
BY Riding the Stang" Drunken Men
Are Disciplined.

BY Riding the Stang" Drunken Men
Are Disciplined.
In some portions of the world the
customs of the good old days" still
obtain. The method pursued in the
treatment of drunken husbands in the
north of England is survival from
the time when there were no magis-
trates convenient before whom the err
ing husband might be hailed. This
method is known as Riding the
Stang, and though very old practice,
quite recently two cases of its being
enforced were brought before the pub
lie notice. The erring husbands were
tied astride long poles and carried in
this ridiculous and uncomfortable posi-
ton through the streets of their town,
and followed by a jeeri1g crowd of
men, women and children, who did not
hesitate to pelt them with refuse, ac-
cording to the time honored usage on
these occasions. There are variations
of the methods of riding the stang,
however, that mentioned above being
perhaps the severest form. In parts
of Yorkshire and other northern coun-
ties, for instance, riding the stang"
is practiced more as a vicarious pun
ishment for any frailty on the part of
man or wife than direct and personal
punishment as in the cases instanced
above. Needless to say, in the cases in
which the ceremony is performed vi
cariously, the person who rides the
stang is not subjected to bodily i'll
treatment at the hands of those, who
perform it. 1t is usually some good
natured friend who is selected for be-
striding the stang He is carried
through the streets in the dusk of the
evening on the shoulders of two men,
preceded by another carrying a Ian
tern. At every fifty yards or so the
procession makes a halt, during which
the accommodating stang rider recites
this verse:
Good neighbors attend while I you har-
angue,
'Tis neither for your sake, nor for my
sake
That 1 ride the stang.
But it is for the wife of John Smith
That / ride the stang.
In the fullness of time the procession
finds itself outside the house of the
guilty husband, where it disperses
after few choruses of boots and jeers.
The vocal discord, however, is seldom
deemed sufficiently soul-stirring, a sup

Rubies are growing scareer. the

India, and China. The mines of Pegu
are nearly exhausted or but little

they are situated are dangerous of ap-

is forbidden until they have been ex-

JOSEPHINE LUDwIG's SUCCESS.

Josephine Ludwig was born in St.
Louis, Mo-, where she won local fame
for her excellent voice. She fl
nally went abroad and studied under
Bouhy, Capoul, Marchesi and other
noted vocal teachers. A year and a
half ago she was secured by Henry
w. Savage and made her debut with
the Castle Square Opera Company last
October in Chicago, appearing as Mar
guerite in Faust" in which she
scored an immediate success. Her next
appearance was made in her native
city, where as juliet in Romeo and
Juliet" she duplicated that success.
Since that time she has sung all Of
