Fire Horses.
From Scribner's

The fire horses-two for light engines,
and three when the machines weigh more
than four tons-are trained as finely as the
men. They are the pets of the house and
Of the neighborhood. Some of them learn
in a week to run to their places at the
signal; others require months training g.
The lessons are simple enough. A raw
horse is made to feel the whip as he hears
the signal bell. If he is an Intelligent ami
NAL. the two so soon become synonymous
that he starts for his place the instant the
bell rings. Many horses seem to know
quite as well as the man when the alarm
is one that means business. They really
seem to count the strokes. A story is told
of one horse, who, when changed from
Harlem to station near headquarters, was
wild to run when his old number sounded
and quite Indifferent to the new one, which
really meant business and to which nc ra-
sponded only under protest. The stories
told in the department about the horses are

was an alarm. The hose truck men were
dismayed to find that their old gray mad
disappeared. They thought that he must
have been stolen. The engine had left for

hose company. Suddenly horse was heard
kicking in the engine stalls next door, and
although it was not the missing gray, it
was quickly forced into hose service, and
the company got off a minute late. At the

. She Carried Thirty-Two Hats.
ldon Daily Telegraph

FROM the London Daily Telegraph.
A lady travelling by the Ostend express
train de luxe arrived recently at the GUS
toms station at Passau and attracted the
special attention of the customs officer by
the enormous number of her trunks and
boxes. She is a Viennese dame, living in
London. The official had passed almost
everything when he perceived a long box,
and asked what was In it. "Only hats, but
nothing liable to duty" What, only
hats?' said the officer, astounded that so
large case could be used for a lady for
nothing but headgear. Yes. there are
thtrty-two of them!" The official was still
more astounded. "Thirty-two hats! That
Is incredible. l must see for myself: please
open the case" The lady became excited
and retorted: DO you think 1 can get along
with only two hats? Why, 1 have twelve
more at home!" The box had to be opened
all the same; and. 10 and behold 1t turned
out to be quite true. There were actually
thirty-two hats, of different kinds. which
the elegant and pretty passenger was TAX
ing with her for use on her journey. The
officer bowed. and asked pardon for the
trouble he had caused her.

ANIMALS AND MAN.
Docility of Wild Creatures in Antarc-
tic Regions.

SAS ASS6 AOhSs
From the London Spectator
In an interesting article in the Times
Prof. Otto Nordenskjold dwells on the
tameness of the wild creatures found fur
thest south in the Antarctic ocean. The
ship had already voyaged beyond the usual
limits Of the sealing vessels, into the region
where man has scarcely ever shown his
face, and there, on the edge of the ice
pack, were seals so tame that they allowed
themselves to be stroked and scratched, and
penguins SO bold that they tried to hustle
the sailors out of their breeding grounds,
as if they were only other penguins tres
passing. This was only what might have
been expected by any one who had read
the stories of the first voyagers to the linn
it's Of the inhabited world. The animals do
not fear man, because they have never
known him or suffered injury from him.
But the degrees Of fear. mistrust. neutrality
or confidence shown by wild animals which
for ages have been in contact with civilized
man are various, and evidently depend on
something more than accident. Judging
from the attitude toward man when they
see him for the first time. we must suppose
that If they all started fair they would
all remain without fear But it Is curious
to note how easily, after unknown genera
tons of mistrust, they Will dismiss this
feeling If once they, are convinced that his
intentions are honorable.
Religion first exempted certain animals
from the common persecution. and placed
them either under protection or gave them
direct encouragement and even endow-
ments The results are that for long inter-
walls of time these most favored races have
not been molested: but they have not all
responded equally to the encouragement
shown them. But In some Indian states
ruled by princes who maintain the strict
law against taking animal life which their
descent and religion prescribe, the attitude
OF some Of the widest animals toward the
inhabitants of a progressive city full Of
