HORSES AT SEA.
They Can Smell Land Long Before Ut

They Can Smell Land Long Before Ut
Comes In Sight.
The ability of horses to smell land
when far at sea is not generally known,
but the equine must be credited with
this acute sense.
When a we'll known horseman of
Philadelphia went to Europe some time
ago he took bIooded horse with him.
The animal was in a specially prepared
stall on deck and enjoyed the trip
despite the rough weather. When the
horseman thought land should soon be
sighted, he asked the captain how far
the ship was from the Irish coast The
commander of the steamer, in his usual
gruf manner, replied: 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,
and a couple of hours before land was
observed the horse, which was a mag
nificent bay, poked his head through
the grating and, stretching his neck
whinnied loudly
There you are said the captain to
the horseman. your horse smells the
land" The horse was like a different
animal thereafter until the coast loom
ed 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.

PRIMITIVE LETTER POST.
The Earliest Postal Service Dates
Back to BabyIOnia.

No postal service has been traced ear
lfer than that which was in operation
during the reign of I<hammurabi, the
Amraphel of Genesis, who was king
of Babylonia about 23OO B. c. A num-
Der of the missives, each inclosed in
its clay envelope which passed through
this earliest postoffice are preserved
in the Babylonian room of the British
museum, and their contents Indicate
that even at that period letters were
freely circulated throughout the en-
pire by a public postal service under
governmental control
Sir Brian luke was appointed post
master in England at the beginning of
the sixteenth century, and in 1556 the
lords of the council ordered that the
postes betweene this and the Northe
should eche of them keepe a booke
and make entrye of every lettre that
he shall receive, the TYNE of the deliv-
erie thereof unto his hands, with the
parties names that shall bring it unto
him"
The first post for the conveyance of
private letters to all parts of England
and Scotland was started in 1885. when
the letter office" was esta blished but
it was not till 1887 that the foundation
of the present system was laid.

THE LOVING CUP.

It's Origin Dates From the Assa ssina~
ton of King Edward.
The remote origin of the loving cup
dates from the story of the assassina-
ton Of Edward, king and martyr, who
was stabbed in the back while drink.
ing. 1t had been usual at feasts to
pass round large cup, which each, as
he rose to drink, lifted with both
hands, exposing his body to attack.
This custom was altered, so that when
one stood up to drink he who sat next
became his pledge" and also rose,
drawn sword in hand, to protect him.
This practice in a modified form con-
tinued long after changed conditions
of society had ceased to need it and
was the origin of our custom of drink
Ing healths and particularly of the
ceremonial, preserved in almost its
primitive form, OF passing round the
loving cup, when, as each person rises
and takes the cup in his hand to drink,
the guest next to him also rises and
graspS the second handle.
Some authorities ascribe it's origin
to Margaret, consort of Malcolm, king
of Scotland and others to Henry OF
Navarre.-London Truth.

BY HOOK OR BY CROOK.
An Ancient Phrase That Has Many
Phases of Meaning.

An Ancient Hnr3se IhaT HAS Many
Phases of Meaning.
The phrase ''by hook or by crook
may simply refer to an ancient Gus
tom which allowed persons to collect
for fuel dead wood in the kings forest
such as they could break off and re-
move with "cart, hook and crook
Some trace It's significance by foul
means or by fair" to the contrasted
uses of the footpad's hook or the
bishops crook.
Others remind us Of the expression
in very early days 'by huke DER
krooke"-that is, by bending the knees
and cringing low
Another plausible explanation is that
after the great fire of London disputes
as to ownership of land were settled
by two surveyors whose names were
Hook and Crook.
Quite different is the view taken by
those who tell US that when Strong
bow sailed for Ireland he instructed
his men to make their attack by Hook,
a promontory northeast of Waterford,
or by Crook, a harbor on the south
coast.
In any case, the phrase is very old,
for it was used by Bacon $3.50, by
Shelton, the poet laureate $500, and
by Chaucer nearly 600 years ago

LUNAR SCENERY.
Its Appearance Proves the Moons
Lack of Air and Water.

Hts Appearance Proves the Moons
Lack of Air and Water.
1t is by indirect methods of observa-
ton that scientists learn of the alb
sence of atmosphere in the moon.
There are various arguments that can
be adduccd, but the most conclusive is
that obtained on the occurrence Of
what is called the occultation of a
star. 1t sometimes happens that the
moon comes directly between the earth
and star, and the temporary extinc-
ton of the latter is an occultation. We
can observe the movement when it
takes place, and the suddenness of the
extinction Of the star is extremely re-
markable- If the moon had a copious
atmosphere the gradual interposition
of this would produce gradual ex-
tinction Of the star and not the sudden
phenomenon usually observed.
This absence of air and water from
the moon explains the peculiar and
weird ruggedness of the lunar scenery
We know that on the earth the action
of the wind and Of rain, of frost and of
snow is constantly tending to wear
down our mountains and reduce their
hard outlines, but no such agents are
at work upon the moon.
