the street, and finally backed through
q plate glass window in the millinery
shop. The crash of the splintered glass
seemed to madden the horse, and it
backed still farther into the shop, lash
tIg out with its heels. A young
woman trimming hats in the rear of
the store fed through a back window.
Hats Of chiffon, lace, feathers and va
rious other trimmings were kicked
about and deposited In melancholy
wrecks all over the floor.
The policeman and the driver finally
got the horse out of the millinery shop
and as he was driven away in an S. p.

woman stood in the door and heatedIy
inquired who was to settle for the dam

COpportunity for Young Men,

The demands in all parts of this coun-
try, and in several foreign countries
for we'll trained men of our race IN the
direction of scientific and practical ag-
ricu,ture are so great that this institu-
ton is willing to offer exceptional adj
vantages to young men who wish TO
come here and take either regular or
post graduate course in agriculture. we
cannot begin TO supply the demands
that come to us for trained men in the
direction of agriculture. The positions
for which these trained men are wanted
are those in most every case which pay
high salaries. We wish to get hold OF
men who have received, as far as posi-
BILE, good education before coming
here, and are ready TO enter upon
Thorough course of agricultural train
ling. For further information address,

Learned Horse Examined BY Experts.
Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE learned horse
Hans has just stood a successful eN-
animation before scientific commits
sion, including psychologists. psycholo-
gists. pedagogues, naturalists, animal
trainers and others. Their report sets
forth that the evidences he gave OF
comprehending handwriting, his must
cal and color discrimination and math
ematical work were performed under
circumstances excluding the possibil
ity Of a trick. The methods of the
horses owner, Herr Won Osten, are
pronounced to be those of a pedagogut
rather than OF an animal trainer. The
case appears to them to be wholly eX
ceptional and to deserve thorough
scientific study.
