HORSES AT SEA.
They Cnn Smell Land Long Eefore ID
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 a blooded horse with him.
The animal was in 4 specially prepared
stall on deck and enjoyed the trip
despite the rough weather. When the
horscman 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
gruff 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 couple Of hours before land was
observed, the horse, which was mag
nifcent bag, poked his head through
the grating and. stretching his neck,
whinnied loudly.
There you are" said the captain to
the borseman. Your horse smells the
land" The horse was like different
animal thereafter until the coast loom
ed up.
The captain in explaining the odd
occurrence said that the thoroughbred
detected the oGor from pasture lands
that was waited far seward and that
horses on board ocean steamers always
give the first signal when land is near.

THE ANGRY TREE.
Peculiar Antics of This Curiosity OF
Plant Life.

Peculiar Antics of This Curiosity OF
Plant Life.
There is in the wilds Of northwestern
Idaho a species Of the acacia tree
which is entitled to be classed as one
Of the wonders Of plant life. 1t grows
to height Of about eight feet and
when full grown closes its leaves to-
gether in coils each day at sunset and
curls its twigs to the shape Of pigtails.
After the tree has settled itself thus
for q nights sleep, if touched the whole
thing will futter as if agitated or i'm
patient at being disturbed. The oftener
the foliage is molested the more vio-
lent becomes the shaking Of the
branches, and at length the tree emits
a nauSeating odor, which if inhaled for
4 few moments causes violent, dizzy
headache
The angry tree, as it has been named,
was discovered by travellers, who upon
making camp for the night placed one
end of q canvas covering over one Of
the sensitive branches, using it for
support. Immediately the tree began to
sharply jerk its branches. The motion
continued. growing more nervous, until
at last the sickening odor which it
gave out drove the tired campers to
more friendly location. Curiosity Of
course prompted an investigation. One
Of the angry trees was dug up and
thrown to one side Immediately upon
being removed from the ground the
tree opened it's leaves, its twiss lost
their pigtails, and for something over
an hour and a half the outraged
branches showed their Indignation by
q series Of quakings, which grew
weaker as time passed, finally ceasing
altogether, when the foliage hung limp
and withered. The next morning the
tree was placed upright in the ground
again, a little water was applied to the
roots, and very soon it resumed its
normal condition.-Boston Globe.

Cleopatra received Egypt as pres

Ia and Pompey each gave away half

Of the excellent stories Of the past Is
that the Emperor Constantine gave
Rome and all Italy to Pope Sylvester,
who cured him of lepros2. King John,
called Lakeland, being excommunicat-
cd by Pope Innocent ILL.,, gave to that
pope and his successors the kingdom Of
Ireland and England. The deed reads,
Not constrained with fear, but with
ny full consent and the advice Of my
barons, for the remission Of my sins
against God and the church, resign
England and Ireland to God, st. Peter,
st. Paul and our lord the Pope limo
cent, and to his successors in the apos-
toIic chair" Julius II. gave the estates
Of King Louis XII. to the Emperor
Maximilian. Sixtus ", Gregory NV.
and Clement VIII. were ready to make
present Of France to whomsoever
Philip II. would have chosen for the
husband of his daughter Clara Eu-
genia. Alexander VI. presented the
East and West Indies to Spain and
Portugal, which was like giving al
most all the earth.

Confederate Coinage.

It is matter Of history that the
entire coinage of the Confederate
states consisted Of four half dollar
pieces. The diverse side had q god
dess of liberty same as United States
coins in an arc Of thirteen stars, in
her right hand a shield Of conventional
design with Liberty" thereon and be-
low the date, 1861. On the reverse
side was an American shield beneath
a Liberty cap, the union containing
seven stars-rcprescnting the seEen Sc.

wreath; at the left cotton in bloom,
at the right sugar cane. The legend
was Confederate States Of America"

CARRIERS POOR WAGES.
Representative Hearst Sought to
Have Rural Service Condi-
tions Bettercd.

Rural letter carriers have lost their
fight to obtain adequate compensation
from the government. The Republic
an majority in congress has gone on
record in favor of the meager allow
ance Of $50 a month to rural carriers
who have to buy and feed their own
horses and work every day In the year
in all kinds Of weather.
When the rural carriers went to con-
gress With their petition they found
but half a dozen active supporters, and
in the lead Of the fight for justice and
decent wages stood Representative
William Randolph Hearst Of New
York. Against the united opposition
to a fair increase Mr. Hearst and q
few fair minded Democrats sought to
amend the postal appropriation bill
and give the carriers salaries commen-
surate with the service they perform.
Their efforts were frustrated by de-
termined majority. The rural carriers
ere now worse off than they were q
year ago. Their salaries have been in
creased to S720 a year, but the privt-
lege to carry express and daily news
papers is taken away from them.

The First Riding Lesson.

The pupil Of good riding master IS
usually disappointed at not being al
lowed to do more in the first lesson.
He expects to mount the horse at once,
start off with trot and wind up with
a canter. He is little annoyed upon
finding that the first lesson consists
almost wholly Of oral instruction and a
great part Of it on foot at that. If
the master is conscientious he will not
permit the anxiety tobe off and doing
to interfere with a proper understand
ing Of the 4 B Of the art. Should the
beginner apply at e-of the big riding
academies in New York for instruction
the first lesson will begin with the
leading By groom Of horse, brldled
and saddled, into the center Of the ring.
The riding master and the pupil take
their stand close by, and the former
begins to explain painstakingly the va
rious parts Of the saddle and bride
and their purposes. Before anything
further is attempted the pupil must
be able to answer simple questions in
regard to the pommA and the cantle,
the curb and the snaffle. and to know
the uses Of the two bits.

The Birch.

Old writer's in mentioning birch trees
seldom failed to say solemnly that they
were useful to grow branches with
which to give boys thrashings. Turner
regards the supply Of flexible, pendent
branches" for purposes Of punishment
as the chief merit of the tree. Coles
also based his estimate Of the birch
chiefly on its use in the supply Of rods
as instruments Of punishment, for he
writes: '.The civil uses whereunto the
birch servcth are many, as for Che pun
isnment of children, both at home and
at school; for it hath an admirable in
duence upon them to quiet them when
they are out OF order, and therefore
some call 1t makepeace." In ancient
Rome the fasces Of the lictors, with
which they cleared the way for magis-
tates, were formed with rods Of birch,
and their influence was sufficient to in
sure a rapid dispersion Of men assem-
bled where they would impede the
passage of the administrators Of the
law. From that time to within 4 COM
paratively recent period the birchen
rod was regarded as one Of the most
important dcterrents Of juvenile de-
pravity.

old Time Crave Robbers.

Under the laws Of Draco, the most

Chem Coal.

In recent report by the American
consul at Nladivostok it is stated that
coal is mined in that district at cost
Of 2 cents ton. Until short time ago
the cost Of production was cents a
ton. In fixing wage rates for Amer
lean miners the coal barons invariably
make comparisons with the cost Of pro-
duction in other parts Of the world,
and this tends to keep the earnings Of
the American at the lowest possible
point. About the only influence in this
country which has combated the wage
reducing tendency Of the coal barons
has been the insistent and persistent
effort Of the Hearst papers, which are
under the direct editorial management
Of William Randolph Hearst.
Attempts have been made to enforce
antitrust laws to loosen the grip Of the
coal operators upon American domestic
and industrial life, and the publicity
given the methods Of the greedy monop-
olists has been effective in mitigating
somewhat the unjust conditions.

BLUE GRASS
It IL Il Native Of the Wabash Valley
In Indiana.

It IL Il Native of the Wabash Valley
In Indiana.
"a great many people contend that
blue grass was first found in Ken
lucky" said an eminent Indiana geolo-
gist, ~but this is not so. Blue grass
Is a native Of the Wabash valley, In
Indiana. 1t was found by William
Henry Harrison's troops during that
solemn march to TippecanoG in 1911.
Harrison gathered small army at
Ohio Falls and started north. At Vim
cennes the gallant heroes realized that
they could not go 200 miles up the
Wabash without feed for their horses.
General Harrison had two cribs OF
corn at Terre Haute and persuaded the
men to so on. AS they came on with
hungry horses and scant feed they
found the ground covered with blue
grass.
"S!x miles west Of Newport, on the
Coliett farm, was found a bountlful
supply Of blue grass. Some places in
the bottom it was growing three feet
high, and such feed had never been
heard Of by the Kentucky soldier. At
State Line City more blue grass was
found, and from there to Tippecanoe
the whole line Of march was covered
with blue grass.
'The seed was carried back to Ken
lucky and sown there, but they could
not make it thrive alone in the warm
soil, and it had to be sown with oats
and rye. Mr. Sandusky told me in an
early day that 10 blue grass grew in
Kentucky until after it was imported
from Indiana. Tom Downing Of Terre
Haute was an ardent admirer Of Hen
ry Clay and once went to visit him at
his home near Ashland, Ky. After
seeing the fine farm we'll set in blue
grass Downing suggested that Mr..
Clay let him have some of the seed to
take back to Indiana.
TON, don't make q fool Of your
self said Clay The grandsire of
Kentucky blue grass is growing
around your house and in the fence
corners of your fields. We got the
seed from Terrc Haute and the mid
die Wabash and after hard struggle
got it to grow here In its present lux
uriousness.' indianapolis Journal.
