HORSE ATE HER NEW HAT

The incident happened aboard a
Long Island railroad ferryboat. and
the boat was crowded. Talking with
friends forward was a well-dressed
young woman, whose hat was of the
latest style, trimmed with something
resembling ribbon grass. A horse saw
the hat trimming as 1t swayed in
front of his nostrils, shifted bit, and
then craned his neck to get nearer
Then he suddenly nibbled the material
he thought was grass, and held 1t
firmly in his jaws.
Greatly frightened, the woman did
not move, but uttered few shrieks,
which brought several men to her
side. They were cruel enough to laugh.
Drivers gathered around the horse and
tried vainly to coax him to release
the trimming. Finally garden truck
vender placed a bunch of carrots in
front of the horse, and the trick was
done. He opened his jaws for the
tempting vegetables, and the impris-
oned trimming was liberated.

ANCIENT DANCE OF DEATH

ON the road from Trent to Madonna
ii campiglio, little to the north of
pipzolo, stands the interesting mortu.
ary chapel of San Vigilio which bears
mon its south wall painting OF the
Dance of Death dated 1861 and
some verses in Italian.
The Dance of Death. like the ober-
amrnergau Passion Play and the early
English mystery plays, was orig.
inally a spectacular play OF semi
religious origin. II has been traced
hack to the middle of the four.
tenth century, in which the fire.
ouent destructive epidemics brought
wildly before the people the subject
Of death and it's universal swsy over
mankind. The dramatic movement
then developing led 20 its treatment in
the dramatic form. In these plays
Death appeared not as destroyer but
as a messenger of God summoning
men to the world beyond the grave, g.
conception familiar alike to Holy
Writ and the ancient poets. At the
frst Of these obseryances Death and
bis victims moved at slow and dig
nified pace But later Death, con.
ceyed as acting the part of q mes
senger, naturally took the attitude and
movement oi the traditional messen-
gers of that period--namely, the fid
dlers and musicians-and the dance
Of Death" was the result.
The purport of the play YVES to teach
the truth that all men must die and
that they should therefore prepare
themselves to appear before their
Judge. The scene of the play was
usually the cemetery, or tho church
yard; in rare instances the church
Itself. The spectacle was opened by
sermon on the certainty of death, de-
lVered by monk. ..--..
At the close of the sermon there
came forth from the charnel house a
number of figures dressed in the ira
ditional garb Of Death, a close-fitting,
Vellowish linen suit, painted to resem-
Die skeleton. One of these addressed
the Intended victim, who was invited
to accompany him beyond the grave.
The Invitation was not accepted, and
various reasons were given for de-
clining It, but all such reasons were
declared to no insufficient, and Death
tnaly led away his victim. A Sec
ond messenger seized the hand of a
new victim, third did likewise, and
50 on until the usual number, "a, had
been led away. This terminated the
play, which was followed by a second
sermon, emphasizing the lesson of the
representation.

opher, who, after listening to a young
lady OF voluble conversation, said:
What a relief it would be if she would
stop talking for a little while and do
some thinking"
There are disciples without number
who feel they are called to preach the
gospel Of good roads. They know lit
tie or nothing Of the subject, but the
desire is strong and impelling. 1t re-
minds one of the young divinity stu
dent with very little aptitude for the
profession he proposed to adopt and
from which the bishop was trying to
disuade him because he regarded him
as wholly inapt. The man maintained
he was called to preach and therefore
he was to obey the summons. The
bishop asked him in what manner the
call had come. He said he had had a
dream in which he saw outlined in
the heavens clearly in letters of white
up. c." which he interpreted to mean
to go and preach Christ. The bishop
told him he had no doubt he had seen
the vision as stated, but he had misin-
terpreted it, and that the letters "P.
c." in his case meant to plow corn.
1t is so with the good roads advocates,

FATE OF SCHOOL OF WHALES

A remarkable incident has taken
place on the coast of Perkins Island
North Tasmania), no fewer than thir
ty-seven monster whales having been
stranded there. The whales, among
which there was only one COW, quar-
relied. and in chasing the female en-
tered the shadows. All attempted to
Jump backward into deep water, only
to fail in every effort. AS the tide re
coded the huge animals were left
foundering on the sands, in which they
half buried themselves in their strug
giles. Unable to help themselves they
perished in a short time. A number
o. persons who saw the spectacle
formed a syndicate with a capital OF
G 300 to recover the ambergris from
the carcasses. They have already OBJ
tanned three thousand pounds of the
valuable commodity.
