Charles +. Gore, Il New lamp
shire Judge Of the last century, was
very nervous and irritable, but so de-
termined that he usually found
means of enforcing his desires.
While he was holding court in one
of the northern counties he was
much annoyed by the coughing Of
the spectators in the courtroom.
lie referred to it again and again,
with increasing asnerity, and finally
directed the sheriff to remove from
the courtroom the LoNt man who
coughed. This had marvellous eff,
feet in stilling the audience.
That evening stranger afflicted
by an incessant cough appeared at
the village hotel.

He KNEW THE LAW.

An instance of the application Of
a precocious knowledge 81 the law
by a child recently occurred in a
Partisan school. In France e,luca-
ton Is obligatory, bat the Law can
Dot compel children TO remain at
school after the age OF thirteen.
This law, needless to remark, IS
usually a dead letter, but on the oc-
casion in question a pupil suddenly
got up in the middle of a lesson,
gathered up his books, placed them
neatly in his desk, took up his hat
and moved toward the door. "Where
are YOU going:' asked the teacher,
with a certain amount of acerbity.
Sir" replied the boy, with irritat-
ing nonchalance, 81 was thirteen
years of aye four minutes ago, aud
you have no longer any right TO keep

Paderewski and His Hair.

There is something almost pa
thetic i'll remarks with which Nine.
Paderewski is, credited-that her
husband simply dare not cut his
hair. He might desire to have a
head as trinity neat and smooth as
a greyhound, says his wife, but the
public would not let him. Were he
to abate his ambrosial locks to even
half their present proportions the
music lovers of London and New
York would cry out, and if he per,
sisted in shortening his hair they
would desert him for new idol.
Such is fame!

DANCING HORSES.
They Brought Disaster to Their Own
ers In Time Of War.

There Is an ancion, Roman lamp
among the treasures Of the Louvre,
in Paris. and on this lamp Is a pic
ture of a horse that l. b"ing taught
to stand Oh its hind LEGS. The l;o-
man horse trainer Is using a loIml-
dable looking whip. The dancing
horse figures in that medley of AN
tique learning, the "Dcipnosophists,
or Banquet of the Learned, Of
Athcnacus. Athcnaeus tells that the
Sybarites had carried their luxury
to such pitch that they had taught
even their horses To dance at their
feasts to the music of the flute.
But disaster came to this cIIcmnate
horse training. for the trotonIanS,
being at war vita the SyharItcs and
knowing the air to which the Syba-
rite horses were accustomed 10
dance, PLAYED the same melody on
the battlefield. and a. soon as the
horses heard them PLAYING on the
flute they not only began To dance,
but ran over to the army of the Gro
tonians, carrying their riders with
them
Dancing cavalry horses appear
again in greater detail in the An
mails of Charon of l.ampsacus," like
wise quoted by Athenacus. Charon
saws that the general of the army of
a people named Blsutae lived rs a
boy in SLAYER among the tardians.
There he learned that the Cardian
horses we're taught to dance ut fcasts
to the music Of the flute. standing
on their hind feet and dancing with
their fore feet in time to the airs
which they had been taught. Sc
when war broke out the general OF
the b Jtac secured a tardian fe-
male flute PLAYER, who instructed his
own musicians.
When the flute players Of the gen
eral of the Bisatae were sufficient!
trained i'm the music of the Canadians
he gave battle. ordering them to
play the air. which they had learned
and which the horses of the Car.
dams knew. And when the horse,
heard the flute they stood up on
their hind feet and took to dancing
