physician In this country, who treated me for
about two years for rheumatism. ! spent In
that time several hundred dollars and seemed
to grow worse instead of better each day. Being

The following remarkable essay on the
horse is said to be from the pen of an
Indian student: "The horse is a very
noble quadruped, but when he is angry
he will not do so. He is ridden on the
spinal cord by the bride, and sadly the
driver places his foots on the strrups
and divides his lower limbs across the
saddle and drives his animal to the
meadow. He has four legs; two are on
the front side aud two are afterward.
These are the weapons on which he runs.
He also defends himself by extending
these in the rear in parallel direction
toward his foe, but this he does only
when he is in an aggravating mood.
There is no animal like the horse. No
sooner they see their guardian or master
than they always cry for food, but it is
always at the morning time. They have
got tails, but not so long as the COW and
such other animals. IN. Y. Tribune.

How Tom Fooled the Old Boy.

"There was fellow in the town where
my mother came from whose name was
Tom Cook. Tom was pretty rough
sort of customer and it was commonly
believed that he was in league with the
devil, and he was, too. Well, by and by,
the devil concluded he'd like Toms
company down below. So he called on
Tom early one morning and found Tom
had just got up and was dressing.
"'Tom, said he, you've lived in this
town long enough. | want you to come
down to the pit and stay with me. So
make haste. I've got to keep the fires
goin' down there, you know
"Then the devil took Tom by the arm
to hurry him and make sure of him.
Tom didn't like the looks of the devil,
and the DEVILS fingers were awful hot
Tom tried to pull along, and at the same
time he said, Wait, wait, can't you until
l get my galluses on?'
The devil looked him all over and then
he grinned and he said, Yes, I'll wait
till you get your galiuses on
"He no sooner said that than Tom
threw the galluses into the fire. The
devil said he'd lost his man and went II
in great anger, and Tom never wore
galluses again. "-Ex.

A young teacher whose efforts to in
culcate elementary anatomy had been
unusually discouraging, at last asked in
despair,
"Well, I wonder if any boy here can
tell me what the spinal cord really isp"
She was met by row of blank and ir-
responsive faces, till finally one small
voice piped up in great excitement:
"The spinal cord Is what runs through
you. Your head sits on one end and
you sit on the other"
