TRAINING A HORSE TO THINK.
The Teacher of the Berlin Equine Mar
 vel Tells How He educated Hans"

The processes of Hans education. as described by the baron. his owner and teacher, are simple erOugh. They ex- tended over a period of four years, during whish time the schoolmas.er worked IS hours day with his pupil.
 "I began the education of H1as. said the baron, "by holding up before him red and white balls arranged on a wire frame-a contIEYance familiar to all teachers in the public schools-by means of which he was taught to stamp once for each ball. twice for two balls, and so on. After that taught him to recognize the signs that stand for the numbers, for which purpose used figures cut out of zinc. The alphabet he learned by seeing the several letters, written large. and at the same time repeatedly pronounc- ed by myself and the sounds of num- bers in the same way.
 Later on I taught him to recognize whole words by means of the letters composing them, care being taken to select only words spelled theoretically. Objects for which these words stood were shown him as I pronounced the words. so that he gradually came to identify the words with the objects.
 Then came the more difficult pro- cess of teaching the stallion to ex- press the impressions made uron hts mind. TO do this l would ask. for ex- ample, How much is four plus three ?' writing 4 plus 8 on the blackboard. Then I would saviour ana raise his forefoot four times. immediately an- nouncing the result, 'seven,' and rais- ing his fOrefoot seven times. Tn the same way he was taught to under stand the value of four minus three, and so on through the list. Of course, all this required an amount If pa tience almost inconceivable, and there were many disappointments, but his intelligence wregand grew until the world had heard of it.-McClures for May.

DESERT OF THE NILE ON HIS
 DINNER TABLE.

William Waldorf Astor continues to entertain lavishiy He gave a large dinner party, which has ben the one subject of conversation among the fashionable set ever since. The table was square, seating seven on al side. In the center was a miniature desert, in the middle or which rose miniature pyramids and sphynxes. An oasis with palms. toy canels and coils in the dress of Arabs also figured on the board. Everything was carried out to the uppermost perfection of detail, even to a little stream representing the Nile.
 After the ices had been served each guest was presented with a toy pick and shovel in gold and told to dig for treasure in the sand before them. Much amusement resulted from the amateur excavations, and each guest. of course, turned up something in the way of a souvenir, which proved to be bits of authentic old Egyptian jewelry or other relics.-N.

 ING CRUELTY.

With baby in her arms, Mrs. Peter Aajcherek. 20 years old lfmped into Justice O'D0noghue's court, Wednes- day, and told a story of her jealous husbands cruelty. She said that her husband had accused her of receiv- ing attentions from a Polish priest.

Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious opera tions.
 Why should this be the case2 Sim ply because they have neglected them selves. Ovarian and womb troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country-they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhHa, dig ziness, fatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an un- healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not needed the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest them selves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and sub init to an operation but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from surgical operations

EULOGY ON A BRICK.
INSCRIPTION WRITTEN By Or
DER OF AsSYRIAN KING.
Is Translated Into English by Prof.
Torrey, Of Yale University -
Block Of Clay Made 2,70O
Years Ago.

New Haven, Conn.-An interesting in
scription, made upon sun-baked brick
some 2.7O0 years ago. by order Of Shall
manese H., king of Assyria. has just
been translated into English by Prof.
Charles C. Torrey, of Yale university.
The brick has been in the possession OF
Yale for almost so years. but the cune-
form writing In the inscription Is OF
rude character, and previous attempt
at translation in 1870 was only partly
successful
The inscription is short eulogy of the
king and his father. 1t ends in man
ner calculated to remind one of the old
nursery rhyme about The House That
Jack Built" The full inscription, as
translated by Prof Torrey, is:
'Shalmaneser, the great king, the
mighty king ruler of the universe, king
of the land of Assyria; son of Ashur-
nasirpal. the great king, the mighty
king, ruler of the universe, king of the
land of Assyria; son of Tukulti-Ninah,
ruler of the universe, king of the land
of Assyria, and ne built the tower OF
the City of Calah"
What the tower of Calah was, and why
1t was considered of sufficient impor-
lance to be mentioned as the chief fact
worthy of remembrance in connection
with this ruler of the universe" with
the hard name, nobody knows An at
tempt was made some years ago to
identify the tower mentioned as the
Tower of Babel of Biblical fame, men
ton of it being made in another an
cient Assyrian inscription as note
worthy achievement However, it is
now generally conceded that the ground
for supposing them to be the same is
very slight.
King Shalmaneser. the author of the
inscription. is known in history as
among the first Assyrian kings to make
captiyes of the Hebrews. A description
of his attacks upon them is given in
Kings % and 80.
From other sources it Is evident thai
| the king was also practical joker o.
| a grim sort. He himself relates, in an
other brick, which was presented tt
| Yale at the same time with one recent
| ly translated, that he conquered many
| tribes, and some Of them he boiled in
| pitch and some he made slaves, put
| ting rings in their noses to increast
their tractability. He is also said t.
be the originator of the turkey dance.
now sometimes seen at country fairs
the principle of which is the well-knowl
fact that turkey, or anybody" else
dislikes to stand still when the floor be
meath the feet is hot Shalmaneser i
said to have induced his captives t.
dance in a similar manner.
