How to Quiet a Horse.

When a witness in an English ccurS
remarked that it was necessary TO sit
on a horses head when he was down
to keep him quiet, the Judge replied:
Nothing of the kind. People don
seem to understand that the only
thing necessary to keep a horse from
kicking when he is down is to get
hold OF his ear and keep his nose up
in the air. | have seen lady keep a
horse quiet in that way without soiling
her gloves"

"A STlZLt0u, Sull-

hardship and adventure, was sitting
in the smoking room OF New YORK

morrow is New Years day. Unless
something happens before then. it will
be the uuietest New Year I've spent in
twenty-three years.
I'm all that time l have never been
SO near my old home in Scotland as
am now. Often I've tried to get home,
but somehow or other New Year has
always found me in tight corner In
some out-of-the-way part OF the world.
This mans experience is typical OF
that Of many of the globe-trotters in

New Years day, 1897, found one
IEnglishman facing death from hunger
and thirst on board life raft 300
miles southeast of Madagascar.
His ship foundered seven days be-
fore i'm a hurricane. The boats were
smashed by the fury of the waves and
some of the crew washed overheard
The rest made raft out of planks and
spars, but during the night high seas
swept over the frail structure and car.
rled away most of the water and food.
''All We had left" said the man who
went through this terrible experience,
were a few tins of potted meat, a
small barrel OF biscuit anrd the small
est OF the water casks. That was all
we had to keep life in twenty-five hun
cry men,
I'VE made it last as long as we
could, but in four days everything was
gene. Some of the men fell into de-
SPAR and talked about throwing them
selves overheard. Perhaps they would
have done so. but during the night of
the fourth day half dozen big sharks
swan around the raft in circles. The
sea was phosphorescent and we could
see them plainly in the waves OF livid
fire which they stirred up as they
swan around. Even the half-crazed
men who had talked about drowning
themselves shrank from death in a
sharks nav and stayed upon the raft.
Next morning / saw by a pocket
diary which | carried that the day was
Dec. 80. To keep up the mems spirits

" whether the sail would heave in

and one man who said he guessed IL

unpopular.
New Years morning broke with a
dead calm on the oily, blistering see
and a blazing sky that aggravated our
thirst tenfold. There was not ship

cruel. cloudless sky above us. II was

This same man spent another New
Years day off Cape Horn. He sailed
from Valparaiso in a British wind
jammer," expecting TO reach his Scot
fish home in time TO spend his first
Christmas there for many years. But
Gains delayed her for weeks in the
South Pacific ocean, and when she got
off Cape Horn she ran into tearing

mast down on deck and ripped out all
her sails. For days she drifted help
lessly, exposed TO the full fury Of the
western gale.
The crew labored industriously at
rigging up spare and bending new
sails. 1t was a task of tremendous
difficulty, for giant combers rolled
over the forecastle head continually,
filing the vessel amidships with green
seas.
Suddenly in the midst of this toll an
apprentice piped out:
II say, fellers, this is New Years
day. Have you all forgotten it?'

gruff old mate. There won't be any

An American globe trotter tells how
he once spent a New Years day hunt
ing crocodile in Jamaica, West In
dies.
After a long hunt the crocodile was
found buried beneath the mud in a
shallow bend of river on the planta.
ton. The hunters only carried small
shotguns, which were useless against
the beasts tough hide. covered as it
was several inches deep in mud.
But the planter was a man OF re.
source. He sent hurriedly for negroes
and set them to work to- construct two
strong walls of bamboo poles across
the bed of the stream. thus inclosing
the crocodile in prison from which
he could find no escape.
After the walls were built every
body hid quietly in the tall grass or
the banks and waited. Hour after
hour they laid there. Their luncheon
consisted of sandwiches and a flask Of
rum punch.
1t was not until the end OF the aft
ernoon that the crocodile, finding IL
could not break through the bamboo
barriers, crept out Of the water. Be-
fore 1t could drag the whole OF its
huge carcass out of the mud 1t was
lassoed and hauled toward the bank by
twenty willing hands.
Too surprised to offer resistance. the
beast at first suffered itself TO be al
most dragged on the bank; but it
caught on the edge with its forepaws
and made desperate struggle. TWEEN.
ty yelling negroes hung on to the 9th
err end OF the rope. but could not drag
that crocodile up; they could only
prevent It from Hopping back into the
water again. Honors were even in
that terrific tug-of-war.
At last yoke of eight oxen had TO
be brought. They soon dragged the
beast TO the bank, where IL was tied
around a tree and dispatched With
