Horse Knew Land Was Near.

When Thomas McGuiness, a we'll.
known horseman of Philadelphia, went
to Europe some time ago, he took a
blooded horse with him. The animal
was in specially prepared stall on
deck and enjoyed the trip despite the
rough weather. When Mr.. McGuiness
thought land should soon be sighted.
he asked the captain how far the ship
was from the Irish coast The COM
mander of the steamer. in his usual
gruff manner, said: "Your horse will
tell you; watch him
The owner of the animal could not
understand what the captain meant,
and he was not particularly pleased
with the answer. Finally, however. a
couple of hours before land was OBJ
served, the horse, which was mag.
nificent bay, poked his head through
the grating, and, stretching his neck.
whinnied loudly. "There you are"
said the captain to Mr.. McGuiness;
"your horse smells the land" The
horse was like different animal there.
after until the coast loomed up.
The captain, in explaining the odd
occurrence, said that the thoroughbred
detected the odor from pasture lands
that was waited far seaward, and that
horses on board ocean steamers always
give the first signal when land is near
philadelphia Telegraph.

Aid For Building Wagon Roads.

There is 4 bill now before Congress
introduced by Hon. Walter z. Brown
low. of Tennessee. and Hon. Jacob
H. Gallinger. Of New Hampshire. ap-
propriating $24,00O,0o0 as national aid
for building wagon roads in every
State of the Union. This appropria-
ton is to be distributed according to
the population, except that no State
is to receive less than S250O0O. This
sum is available at the rate Of $S,O00..
coo yeaf for thr?e years, and every
State receiving this rational aid must
add like amount. SO that S4S.000,000
will in three years be spent IN build
ing splendid State and national roads
in every State of the Union. This bill
will cause to be built from 100 to 500
miles of road in every State. or, say,
5000 to 1000 miles in all. While this
number of miles will be of great ben
etit to the farmer. yet its greatest ben
eft will be as an object lesson. Where
Il community has good roads they al
ways want more OF them.

Russian Discipline.

Discipline in the Russian army is
confined to the essentials very strictly.
and does not concern itself about
things not Immediately connected with
the movements Of troops and their con-
duct in action. according to O. X.

They will fight maguitcently, but for

MAKES THE ANIMALS HAPPY:
The Home That Women Have Made For
the Lost and Sick.

the Lost and Sick.
There is near New York City a
stretch Of pasture land in which nsu.
ally number of happy dogs are caper.
ing. and the land and other things be.
long to these same dogs. There is a
barn for them with its comfortable
kennels heated by q coal fire, quite the
same as folks have, and in the house
near by is friend ready to make a
pilgrimage to the kennels with mcdi-
cine and bandages day or night. And
this is not for some especially PAM
pered breed of dogs. but for all unfor-
tunates of the race.
A woman not long ago realized the
practical good that would result from
establishing home for dogs, cats and
broken down horses. She has organ
lied a band of workers to carry out the
plan, and the result has been this home
for them, the Bide-a-Wee Home for
Animals at Yonkers Park.
The object of the home is to provide
a place where animals will receive kind
treatment and care if they are sick
just like city hospital for humans. If
the case is hopeless the animal is chic
roformed-not dumped into gas tank
with dozen others to fight for last
breath Of life.
There are many people who would
keep dog or cat instead Of turning it
into the street to be abused and finally
caught and killed if it could be taken
care Of gratuitously for a while. Any
animal taken to this home is welcomed.
If release is signed the animal is
placed in a good home and visited from
time to time by an inspector.
Similar homes are doing good work
elsewhere in this country and abroad.
The Animal Rescue League, Of Bos-
ton, cares for more than 1000 dogs and
cats each month, placing them in homes
where they remain under the super
vision Of the League.
Some of the women who run this
home have been asked why they don't
direct their attention to human suffer
ers instead of to dumb creatures. One
of the reasons, they say, is that there
are 134 institutions in this city for the
relief of human beings, and there was
only one 1.-TWO now for the benefit OF
animals.
The home seems to be a welcome
charity, for it is finding many sympa'
thizers, and since it has become known
that it needs and appreciates gifts tc
help its work along, it has been receiv.
ing many-some in memory OF lost ami
