MULES SURPRISED HER.

A lady who recently visited an army officers family, stationed at remote post, had a funny experience, related by the Washington Post:
 It describes the lady as a woman who likes to improve her mind; but she is also a woman of much person al dignity, with regal carriage, and an air of sweeping all before her. She considered 1t a duty to investi- gate every new phase of life which she sees. and on arrival at the army post wanted to see everything of in terest
 One day, while her host and hostess were out of the house, she strolled down to the corral, to look over the army mules There seemed to be mo- body in sight, so she went in among the animals and examined and pet ted them.
 Now 1t happened that on this oc- casion she wore dress of very light color; and as the army pack-mules are accustomed to be led by the whitest animal among them, the un- furled white parasol of the visitor, with her light dress. awakened their quick interest. As she left the cor ral she heard the steps of something following her. She glanced back. A mule was stepping quietly along close behind, and all the rest of the mules were falling into line back of him.
 The woman was not afraid. She regards fear as thing quite beneath her dignity: but she was startled and increased her pace. The mule behind her increased his pace also, and marched steadily along with his nose just touching the back of the white parasoI.
 The occupants of the long row of officers houses were presently aston ished to see the most dignified of wo- men coming up the avenue. at a gait which was compromise between her dignity and the desire to run, with a string of mules behind her, the head of each just touching the tail of the one in front of him.
 It was then that an unprincipled young woman took series of "snap shots" Madam's steps exceeded the prescribed army stride of about two feet. and her air of dignity was de cidedly lon sidewise,'' The photo grapher declares that there were twenty-five mules in the procession.

The recent actions of the prominent republicans of the country make it clear that all the talk indulged in by some of their leaders anent tariff re- form and revision is the merest "guff,'' says an exchange. The Iowa idea" was rampant some time ago, and Governor Cumnins of that state was standing upon his hind legs and wildly waving his ears and howl ing for some means of relief from the exactions of the tariff wall, and de- manding it at once. He now is. COO ing like a sucking dove, as mild as a May morn, and he says that the revi- sion should not be made in the face of national campaign, but that we should wait until 1905 before attempt ing anything like tariff revision. This should make it as gross to the sense as the sun at monday that un- less the people of the country unhorse the republican party they will wait un- til the trumpet of the angel Gabriel blows before they will obtain relief from the clutch of the corporations. It is up to the people to do a little thinking.

Animals na Snfynra

A French scientist has made some very interesting observations as to the love of different wild animals for the sea. The polar bear. be says, is the only one that takes to the sea, and he is. quite jolly when aboard ship. All others violently resent a trip on wa ter, and vociferously give vent to their feelings until seasickness brings si 1ence The tiger suffers most of all. The mere sight of a ship makes him uncomfortable, and when on board he whines pitifully, his eyes water con- tinually, and he rubs his stomach with his terrible paws. Horses are very bad sailors, and often perish on sea voy- age. Oxen are heroic in their at- tenpts not ts give way to seasickness Elepharts do not like the sea, but they are amenable to medical treatment. A good remedy is a bucketful of hot water. containing three and a half pints of whisky .-s5 seven ounces of quiniue.

 Hartford has heroine in the shape of q little 12-year~old girl. Wednesday night she bravely rushed into 8 room filled with smoke and flames and extln- guished a fire. Her name is Pauline Breslay. She and another little girl were in the rear of the house. While her companion ran to the front of the building and gave the alarm. Pauline hurried up three flights of stairs, grabbed some rugs and threw them on the flames. She also got a pitcher of water and dashed it on the fire.
