A TRUE STORY OF A HORSE.

l want to tell YOU about q lovely
gray and white horse named Babe
we once had. Every morning, when
my father went to the barn to harness
him, he would just go as far as the
watering trough, which was outside
of our kitchen door, and then refuse
to move until we gave him some lump
sugar.
l will tell you about an accident
which happened one dark night. 1t
was about o'clock and mother was
wondering what kept father, when
all of sudden we heard some one
kick on the door. We did not bother
at first because we thought 1t was
father, but as the noise kept on
mother went out to see what the
trouble was. Just as she got outside
of the door something smooth
brushed against her neck. Turning
she saw it was Babe, who had brushed
h$ nose against her neck. He looked
as IL something was wrong. Mother
said, where is your master?" The
horse hung his head, 10 we knew
something was wrong. After taking
the horse into the barn we went down
the road to see If anything had hap
pened to father. We had not gone
far when a wagon came in sight.
Father was in it and called to us.
We got in and he told us ell about a
smash-up he had down the road. The
next morning we all went to see the
wreck, which was in front of little
cottage. Our wagon was in pieces
and wheel of another wagon was
there. The two wagons had run into
each other. Father did not get hurt,
but it was dreadful risk. Our horse
had come straight home to tell US

PIGEONS WIN GREAT BATTLE.

L
Long ago there was great battle
between Doge Dundolo of Venice and
the people of the Island of Crete. The
Venetians won the battle because the
doge learned a great deal about the
enemy's plans, and this is how he did
It: Carrier pigeons were sent to him
with the information written on tiny
scrolls and tied to their feet. When
the victory was won other birds we're
sent back to Venice with the glad
news. From that time on the Vene-
tians have cared for all the pigeons
within their city. Until sixty years
ago the birds we're fed at the public
expense. To-day it is q great sight
to see thousands Of pigeons fly down
to be fed in the great square in front
Of St. Marks Church. There are so
many birds to be fed that they darken
the air as they fly in clouds in front
of the church. Because every one is
so kind to these birds they have
grown SO tame that they will alight
on the peoples shoulders or hop into
their hands to feed upon the beans
and peas which are given to them.
Many people who visit Venice have
their pictures taken feeding these
pigeons in St. Marks Square.

Rapid Motion of the Comet.

The comets whose periods are less
than one hundred years are called
periodic comets, and nearly half of
them have been observed more than
once. At present they number forty
five, but only three of them are re-
trograde; that is, revolve In their
orbits in the opposite direction to
the planets. Halley's comet is one Of
these three, and as a result 1t will
pass us with very rapid motion. At
that time the earth will be moving
in its orbit at speed eighteen miles
a second, and the comet in nearly the
opposite direction at speed OF twen-
ty-five miles. The relative motion Is
therefore about eight times that OF a
cannon ball.-From William H. Pick

BURGLAR-PRooF DEVICE.

Said housewife: Our windows
are hung in the usual way, with ropes
and weights, and fastened together
only when shut. The particular win
dow for which I wanted this new
device is easy of access to outsiders
as 1t opens directly upon piazza, yet
1t must be open every night for need
ed ventilation. I did not wish any
obstruction screwed to the easement,
as the windows need free and full
opening when they are washed, and
when fly screens are fitted during the
summer.
Finally, I contrived this method:
Get from a hardware store nine
inches CT No. 12 jack chain and two
eyes for a brass hasp. Screw these
eyes, with the four provided screws,
to the window nearly opposite each
other, one on the inside lower part
of the upper half, and the other on
the upper part of the lower half, Just
as most fasteners are applied. Then
hook each end of the chain into an
eye. closing the link on the upper
sash with the pincers, and leaving
the other end so that the link fits
close but can be unlocked when you
wish.
With this device the window can
be raised about seven inches at the
bottom, or lowered seven inches from
the top, or 1t can be left open half
that distance both top and bottom.

LAMP EXPLOSIONS,

Many of these may be prevented by
trimming the wick daily. When
burned for several evenings without
trimming, the wick becomes clogged
and black and incapable of supplying
the oil clearly and uniformly, and the
chimneys are sometimes filled with
flame and smoke, to the embarrass-
ment and alarm of those present
Some explosions would be prevented
by never blowing out the lamp down

way is to turn it down with the button
