Water for Nor.emnn,s Horse.

"You never see a broken-winded
horse in Norway" said horse doctor
"This is because the horses are a.
lowed to drink while they eat, the same
as mankind.
Our horses, let them be as thirsty
as get out, must still eat their dry 70 J.
der, their dry hay and oats and corn,
with nothing to wash them down. But
in Norway every horse has a bucket Of
water beside his manger, and, as he
eats. he drinks also.
st is interesting to see how the Nor
wegian horses relish their water with
their meals. Now they sip a little
from the bucket, now they eat a mouth
full, then another sip, then another
mouthful, Just like rational human be-
ings."

Dog. Nor Dogmas.


A Baltimore man tells of attending
a church on one occa sion when the min
lister delivered sermon of but ten min
utes' duratiOn--a most unusual thing
for him.
Upon the conclusion of his remarks,
the minister had added: 81 regret to
inform you, brethren, that my dog, who
appears to be peculiarly fond of paper,
this morning ate that portion of my SER
mon that 1 have not delivered"
After the service, the clergyman was
met at the door by man who, as
rule, attended divine service in another
parish. Shaking the good man by the
hand, he said:
doctor, should like to know wheth-
er that dog of yours has any pnps. If
so, 1 want to get one to give to my
minister" -Harper's Weekly.

Big Gun Gone Wrong.

The biggest gun in the world, and
which, as might be expected, was in
vented and built in Great Britain, has
definitely been declared unsafe, and
will go to the scrap heap. AS only one
of these mammoths was built, and
that as an experiment, the loss is COM
paratively small, even though it is
about 100000. This gun was con-
structed to shoot a 16-inch projectile
distance of twenty-one miles, even
though it would be impossible ever to
hit mark at such range. The big
gun was found to be unsafe after a
few firings, and really was as danger
Gus to our own folks as it was expect
ed to be to an enemy. Twelve-inch guns
are likely to be the limit for a long
time, and certainly until some gun
metal not now known is discovered

Ra.hfa1 Attendants.

The man from Arizona was taking
his first view of Central Park and its
environs. One thing seemed to rouse
in him mingled interest and scorn. 1t
was the sight of four or five young
women on horseback, each followed at
respectful distance by groom.
Those fellows must be a bashful

temptuodsly. as a fifth young woman
passed by, her attendant groom well

OLD BOOK PROVES VALUABLE.
Sacred Burmese Work of Centuries
Ago WINS SoIdier'E Loot.

Ago Was Soldiers Loot.
In the possession of e. ]. Oxley. Of
Fergus Falls, Mimi, city, is a Bur
mese book of exceeding value, says the
New York World. 1t is about eighteen
inches in length, and the leaves are two
and a half inches in width and much
thicker than ordinary paper. Fastened
together they make volume about five
inches thick. The leaves are sections
of palm leaf, paper being unknown until
centuries after this particular book
cately cut into the leaves, 50 that there
is no such thing as fading.
The book was given Mr.. Oxley by
Sergeant Fred Stokes, of the English
army, who took it from q Burmese
temple in the E2glish-Burman war of
twenty-five years ago. Mr. Oxley, who
is himself an Englishman. had occa-
sion to visit his native land, and Ser.
geant Stokes made him a present of
the book as he was returning to Amer
lea.
The sergeant had taken Il small Bur-
the temple and village were then burn
ed by the soldiers. Neither he nor Mr..
Oxley regarded the book rs anything
more than all ordinary curiosity at the
time the present was made.
The first intimation that Mr.. OXley
had as to its real value was given him
by a Burmese lecturer to whom he
showed it few months ago. The man
on seeing it, bluntly told the owner
that he never came by any such book as
that honestly; that it could not be held
as private property in Burma, and that
it was kept sacred and never handled
except by the higher orders of the
priesthood. He stated that it had
taken one man a lifetime to carve the
curious characters, and that the book
was at least 5000 years old. He Of
fered Mr.. Oxley 5000 for it, but he had
already told him too much about it and
the offer was promptly declined. He
then offered $500 and this offer was
also declined.
The lecturer, before leaving town,
told some friends that the book would
sell for several thousand dollars if it
were offered to the right person. Local
ministers and others have had some OF
the leaves photographed and are send
ing them to the Smithsonian institution
at Washington and to Eastern scholars
with a view of having them translated.
The lecturer, who wished to purchase
the book, stated that it was the only
one Of its kind in America, and proba-
bly, the only copy of that particular sec
ton of what may be termed the Bur
mese scriptures, in existence.

of a very pleasant gathering last
evening, the occasion being the

with a song by the choir entitled

opened his address on Moulding the

The reverend gentleman took for his
mould, Jesus Christ and our life al the

his points was the opportune time for
the mould was when life was especial

of special experiences and cited the
