THE HORSE.
Has His Limitations and Only One
 Idea at a Time.

From the Outing Magazine.
 The horse is an unreasoning coward, who fears everything with which he is unfamiliar; nothing, however horrible, to which association has accustomed him; a creature given over to sudden and uncon- trollable panics, and in their paroxysms stopping at no injury to self or to those who cherish him. His overpowering in- stinct in such a case is flight. frequently, but not always, associated with a deter imitation to clear himself from any ham pering surroundings. He has no feeling of revenge unless trained to cunning by the abuse or the mistakes of mankind. and when these prevail he rarely wreaks his vengeance on any particular indi- vidual, but upon humanity in general, with no regard for age or sex.
 The sentiment of revenge is usually associated with cowardice that it may all most be classed as a phase of that in- stinct. Cowardice manifests itself in equine connection in many ways. With one it is terror of the dark, which will make him kick his stall all night doing himself possibly serious injury; yet in nne cases out of ten a light left in the stable will so completely reassure him that he will not lift foot. Another is alarmed at blowing paper. yet stands yawning while cannons are fired in his face. It is this very attribute of coward ice which enables us to handle the ani- nal as we do; to train him to our will and for our purpose; which makes him, once he is thoroughly deceived and in- timidated, the useful servant we find him; not a willing slave. but one who fears to tempt reprisals which have all ways proved effective: and who labors for us because he has been made to do so, and fears to rebel Give to the most docile the idea that he may successfully disobey, and, prestol you shall discover

DESERTED VILLAGE.
It Cost Million and Now Stands in
 Dense Woods.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean
 Hidden behind the precipitous rocky bluffs of Point Mamainse, on the north shore of Lake Superior lies the once thriving village of Mamainse, long de- serted town of former comfortable homes and well paved streets It stands in the midst of a thick wood and except for the occasional hunter prospector 1t is never visited It has some fifty dwelling houses, besides other buildings, nearly all constructed of fine white pine, and a shaft house. steamp mill and reduction works.
 Near the site of this deserted town is an old and abandoned copper mine, the attempt to open which explains the existence of the village, the last remain ing vestige of an English corporation, backed by a mint of money. The out croppings of mineral were rich, and on the strength of this showing, even before the shaft was started that was to open the supposed copper deposit, the corpora tion built it's town and stamp mill and reduction works.
 More than million dollars were ex- pended in this way. and at one time there were more than POO men on the pay roll. Money was spent lavishly. Long and beautiful drives were laid out in the virgin forest, and steamer line was established between the town of Sault
 
 the enterprise failed, to the dead loss of the stockholders.
 The corporation was called the Quebec Lake Superior Copper Mining companq. Operations were conducted for several years, and in 1884 were suspended indeh- nitely, since which time the town has been abandoned to underbrush and weeds. The buildings remain standing. denuded of doors and windows and open to the snows and rains.
 It was not expected by the last group of people that departed from the place that the village would be destered In fact, the majority of the houses were left furnished and the big general store we'll stocked with goods. For a time watchmen were employed to protect the property against thieves but finally they, too. were recalled, and all was abandoned to its fate.
 As soon as it was discovered that no one was left to take care of the mill, shops store and houses, a systematic spoliation was organized, and plunder from the town was taken away by the boat load.
 The mining claim, together with the entire tract of land, comprising 6100 acres, was subsequently, acquired by w. H. Hummer of the Canadian Soo in liquida- ton of a claim of some thousands of dollars.
 The main street of the town Is a mile In length. A remarkable fact in connec- tion with the houses IS that although never painted, they today look almost like new buildings. The quality of the lumber probably is responsible for this. The plaster, too, remains white and clean uncracked by frost or ram. There is not one among them that is not quite as cleanly as the ordinary tenant house in the cities.

Shot an Angel.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 Now and again we hear of strange and rare birds being shot in England, but how many spQrtsmen except MT. Wells clergyman can claim to have shot an angel? One such man exists, though it is doubtful whether he is proud of his skill It was night time and he was passing Crayford parish churchyard with his gun over his shoulder when he saw what he took for ghost. He leveled his piece and fired, but his aim was wild He had failed to wing his quarry h. vestigation showed that the ghost was a sculptured angel on tomb, and he had shot off one of it's toesi

another attribute of the coward-for your steed forthwith becomes a bully. and very dangerous one, since each lit- tie act of rebellion which succeeds awak. ems him to the idea that he need not obey. and that in power and will he is superior. Forthwith disaster impends.
 The horse is an animal of one idea-his brain can concentrate itself upon but one thing at a time It is this peculiarity which renders it so vitally important that in training him we should have his whole attention-if we do not keep it our work Is void. Even in the ordinary usage of riding and driving the animal who is not paying attention to us is never under complete control, and it is for this reason that so many accidents happen to children with their ponies and to women who use horses for their male relatives or in- sctructors never. or rarely impress upon them this vitally important detail Look where you may you will find ample dem- onstration of the fact that the one idea always sways the animal. Why should a handful of earth placed in the mouth. or a twist of the ear. or string sawed back and forth gently around a leg. or any one of dozens of other expedienta start balky horse? Why does horse led from his burning stable rush back through the flames to die in his own stall? Why does the animal work for us at all? Why does he run headlong upon frightful injury in his stampedes? The one idea excludes all others-the novelty of dirt, etc., puts the obstinacy out of his head the one idea of the protection al- ways afforded in the stall dominates any fear of injury from fire; the one idea that resistance is hopeless makes him do his work; the one idea of terror blends him as thoroughly mentally as optically. Were he more perfectly equipped as to his mental powers we could probably never handle him at all; just as. were he really as personally affectionate as we fancy him. he would prove an internal nuisance by insisting upon taking us to ride when We wanted to read, or by sitting in our laps whenever we visited the stable

& Prosperity Wave Does 1t.

Our neighbor, Leakesville, has ia
ken a place in the ranks OF the Grand
Army of Progress as is indicated by
the following item reproduced from
the Greene County Herald of last
week The Artesian Well is being
sunk with fiattering sree |. We trust
that no difficulties will develop as
the well goes further and further in
to the bowels of Old Mother Earth. =
Good for Leakesville; the new life
she is exhibiting goes to make pat
ent the fact that contiguity to live,
progressive town like Lucedale
exerts an influence, which is abso-
lutely irresistible -Lucedale Plain-
dealer.
With all due credence to Lucedale
for her enterprise and hustle, we can
not subscribe to the last clause of
the foregoing. Bro. Morris would
have it that the public spiritedness
out of which grew the Artesian Well
for Leakesville, was melted or en-
gendercd by an infection from our
thriving Sister City on the Southern
Border. No, the spirit from which
grew the Well and other public u
tilities for Leakesville, is not COM
mon or peculiar either to Lucedale
Or Leakesville. 1t is an evidence of
the oscillations from the great tidal
wave OF development which is sweep
ing over this entire section of the
State, making towns spring up as if
by magic, public enterprises wake
to sudden life, modern conveniences
evolved almost in the twinkling of
an eye: in fact every evolution that
goes to make our part of Mississippi
lay just claim to be Blooming and
Blossoming as a beautiful Rose. .
The sweep of this mighty billow is
making its beats felt in the towns
of all the timber belt.

the time had come for parting. Supt.
Turner was highly complimented by
DIR. Mcmillan, a local divine, who
presented in a few touching words a
monetary memorial gift upon behalf
of the audience Mr. Turner was af-
fected with a deep sense of gratitude
for the kindly sentiment thus ex-
pressed for his earnest labours and in
a few well selected words voiced his
appreciation.

Who The Happy Man Is.

The happiest man in the world is
the common, every day chap who
makes his living, pays his bills, has
a little money as he goes along, but
DON'T strive to get corner on the
output, and is slave neither to am
5ition nor society. He loves God and
his fellow man, thinks there is no
place like home" the haven of rest,
prefers the company of his wife and
children to that of any one else, nev-
er has to sit up at night to poultice
his conscience, believes in the doe
trine of live and let live, and when
he encounters one needy he DON'T
stutter with his pocket book. The
plain man is happy because he is sat
isfied and does not spend the best
part of his life yearning for things
four sizes too large for him. -Eupora
Progress.
