Buried on Horseback.

LORD Dacre, who died fighting for
the Lancastrians at Towton. England,
in 1851, directed that if he were killed
in the battle his favorite horse should
re buried in the same grave with him.
According to his wishes. when his
interment took place in Saxon church
yard after the battle, q tremendous
grave was dug and in it the warrior
was buried, seated upright on his
horse. For centuries reflections we're
cast upon the accuracy of this tradi-
ton. but few years ago, while ex-
cavations for new graves were being
made close by the reputed burial
place of Lord Dacre, the pick of a
digger struck into great bone and
upon further search being made the
skull OF big horse was brought to
the surface. As this was found almost
at the very spot under which the body
OF Lord Dacre was said to lie, it was
accepted as confirmation of the tradi-
ton. particularly as the skull was
found to be standing vertically in the
soil. The SKULL was replaced carefully
In it's original position and the exca-
walton filled up. Chicago News.

AS to MOnOmaniacs.

Nashville News: A man of the
name of William Garrison has jus I
been arrested in Chicago on general
principles. because of a scar on one
ear. the result of bullet wound re-
ceived while escaping from house he
had entered criminally. His picture
was known in the rogues' gallery, but
no specific charge could be preferred
against him. He made confession
and his story is generally believed, IN
which he is shown to be chronic
housebreaker. He AYERS that in no
instance has he entered house with
the purpose of robbery, and that he
cannot resist the temptation to enter
houses merely to gaze on the treasures
he finds. Ii not disturbed, he leaves
property intact and goes away. He
begged the Chicago police to have him
placed in an insane asylum, as he
knew he could not resist this peculiar
mania.
Commenting on the case, Chicago
paper Civ one or two authentic. In
stances as remarkable. There once
lived on Cottage Grove avenue good
man as far as anybody ever knew who
could not retire to his bed at night
until he had touched particular
picket on particular picket fence
over on Elm street, five miles from his
home He was arrested often as
suspicious character before the police
realized his nervous malady. There
was reputable merchant of the Windy
City, who, at regular intervals, called
at central station and confessed him
self guilty of the most heinous crimes,
which the officers knew he could not
have committed. A MUSICIAN in good
standing is also mentioned who wa
arrested time and again for highway
robbery before II was established that
he was the victim Of an ungovernable
impulse to hold up his friends and
without the least criminal intent.
These and similar cases are interest |
ing studies for the criminologist.
Those whose mania endangers society !
of course. be confined. AS to
dealing with those who are inoffensive
though troublesome, is matter more
difficult to settle.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

rRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

v4-.eb4rq+or Feb 5-Senator Orville H Platt
of Connecticut chairman of the Committee on
Relations with Cuba. and leader of the move
r7ent for tariff concessions to Cuba under a reci-
,rocirv ARRANGEMENT, this afternoon dictated for
Tha tribune the following brief but very sig
rihcant statement concerning his attitude on
+be general question of reciprocity with the
island:
nm n Protectionist. and have been so
uuch so that 1 have been called partisan
7 am rs strong a PrOtectionist now rs ever.
hat I believe that proper and reasonable
tariff concessions can be mhde on tnbah
PRODUCTS in return for Cuban tariff conces-
fo,s q, American products which would
greatly benefit the trnde of both countries
and not appreciabIy intnre any American
industry. ] think the cause of protection Is
being wounded now in the house of Its pro-
fassed friends and that the free trader can
not fniure the cause of protection as much
as protectiOnists who insist upon unreason-
able and unnecessary customs dues.
The foregoing statement will be read with
great interest by public men in Washington.
senator Plat rarely talks for publication, but
when he does what he has 10 say attracts wide
attention here, because his incisive sentences
convey sharp meaning to every we'll informed
member of Congress. The utterance here quoted
&c the first public expression by the forceful and
far sighted Connecticut Senator on the subject
of reciprocity with Cuba since the meeting of
The LVIIth Congress. Protectionists the world
over know what stanch and intelligent sup
Porter Of their principles Senator Platt has
been ever since he entered public life. Hence
his advocacy Of reciprocity with Cuba must
appeal directly and with great force TO protec-
tionists everywhere, and cannot be open to the
usual charge brought by the enemies of Cuban
reciprocity that support of this latter cause
eranates from free trade sources. Senator
Platt does not care at this time TO say anything
more for publication on question to which he
has devoted so much careful thought. and on
which he has brought TO bear his ripe and ex-
perienced craftsmanship. He is confident how
ever that very little argument is now required
% bring the majority OF the House in harmony
with the majority Of the Senate on the Cuban
reciprccity proposition. and he does not appre-
hend much further difficulty in enacting the leg
fslation for Cuba which he is aware is needed
for the promotion Of the highest interests of both
countries.
THE SITUATION IN CONGRESS.
A Republican member of the Ways and Means
Committee was quoted to-day saying that
eight of the majority members of that commit
las and one Of the nlinority-Nr. Robertson, of
Lousiana-were determined to stand out to the
cnd against reporting a bill TO pave the way
Sor reciprocity with Cuba. II this statement
proves TO be true, of coursc the Senate will have
% take the initiative and force the House to
terms as the Senate always does when it makes
up its mind to do so. It is not believed. how
ever. that the member quoted represents the
