Di.IiIxed by His Horse.

OF all domestic animals, the horse is
probably the most gentle, but there are
exceptions.
A California man had in his stable a
fne thoroughbred horse. Of which he
made quite a pet. One day he went into
the stable, and, stopping to pat his IA
vorite steed. he was surprised when the
horse, with violent plunge, broke the
halter and came at him with open mouth.
At first he thought 1t was in fun, but he
soon realized his mistake, and hastily
climbed up a ladder and yelled for help.
On the arrival OF his son, the horse
went back to the stall and Immediately

To him It remained a deadly foe, until
he was compelled to sell It. He never
knew the reason for its sudden animosity.

THE RIVER DANUBE.
It's Waters Would Have a Difficult
Time to Speak as They Flow.

Where is there another river so in
ternationaI as the Danube? 1t rises
in Baden and flows through Wur-
temburg and Bavaria; nearly half its
length lies in Austria Hungary; then
it separates the latter country and
Servia. At Orsova three nationalities
meet-Eungarians ServianS and Ru-
manians; after that it serves as a
boundary between Rumania and Bull
garia; and it's mouth lies in Ru-
manian territory. AS one passes
from source to mouth, strange
sounds greet the ear: first High Ger
man dialects, as Alemanic, Suabian,
and Bavarian; then the language of
the proud sons of Arpad, the Mag
vars; then the Servian and Rumanian
and Bulgarian tongues. The manage
ment of the river improvement shows
the number and variety of the inter-
ests. An international commission
undertook the deepening of one of the
delta channels. and a joint commits
sion of the riparian states removed
the dangers of the rapids.
The scenery along the Danube is as
varied as the people that dwell on its
banks. There are stretches whose
beauty rivals that of the picturesque
parts of the castled Rhine; then
comes the monotony of the wide
plain; then it breaks once more
the scene is wild and beautiful.
There is more of the beautiful blue
Danube connected with Austria-H Hun
gary than with any other state; and
this river and its tributaries cement
the Heterogeneous parts of that COM
posite country more naturally and
more firmly than the laws and
treaties can. Far more freight is
moved on the Danube than in and
out of the Austrian Adriatic ports;
so that in spite of the possession of
a strip of coast, the monarchy may
be called an inland state Unfortun-
ately for this government, the all
important Danube slips from it by
flowing far beyond the borders of
the land, yet it has even in politics
a directing influence. The eyes of
Austrian statesmen are turned east

the Danube is of such dominating
