What First Aid Did For Him.

Over the telephone came message
that a man had been seriously hurt,
and the specialist was urged to imme-
diate attention. On entering the room
where the patient lay the great doctor
paused with a look of astonishment-
"My dear man." he exclaimed to the
patient, 81 didn't expect to find you
In a condition like this! What have
you been doing to yourself? Was 1t
an automobile?"
"No, DOCTOR" feebly replied the pa
tient. 81 was walking along the street
and slipped on banana skin"
Shipped on banana skin" cried
the doctor. with greater amazement,
"Do you mean to tell me that banana
skin did all this?"

Meilhac,s Failure.

Meilhac was one of the most sensi-

mel relates his reception of the news
Of one of his rare failures at the Odeon.
He had taken refuge from his nervous
ness In the managers Office, and
friends came to him from time to time
to tell him how things were going.
They could only tell him first that
things were going badly and then that
they were going worse. At the end
of the fourth act they no longer
thought it worth while to tell him any
thing at all. He in the meantime had
collapsed He had tumbled out of the
armchair, fallen on the floor and rolled
under the desk, and 1t was there that
he was found. with his head buried in
his hands, when an attendant at last
entered to turn out the gas and lock
the door.-Paris Temps.

FsarIes. With Wild Animals.

Karl Hagenbeck, the famous dealer
In wild animals, became the real friend
of the creatures from which the ordi-
nary mortal turns with dread and fear.
He lent the lions and tigers which at
tracted so much attention at the Phila-
delphia exposition in 1875. On the
opening day the man who had trained
the animals and under whose direction
they were to perform their wonderful
tricks fell Ill. Hagenbeck never hesi-
tated one moment, but went into the
cages, and the animals went through
their performances for him and seemed
to enjoy his presence. Years later he
visited the New York zoo, and there one
of the lions roared a welcome to him,
evidently recognizing the kind master
whom he had not seen in many years.

Tho Horse For the Farmer.

Farmers need a balanced type of
horse. No kind of work demands a
greater number of qualifications. In
hot weather and in cold, on good roads
and In mud, with light machinery or
an empty wagon and with the heavy
gang plow or the big load of corn, the
farm horse must cover considera BILE
distance each working day. Weight
alone will not accomplish results any
more than will speed alone. Farm
horses to be efficient with modern
heavy machinery and loads must be
big but the size must be combined
with balanced conformation. Seven
teen hands is good height. We
know that horses of this height and
weighing around 1000 to 1,SOO pounds
in moderate flesh can have active, grace
full locomotion. and they easily fatten
to weigh ton.-Breeders' Gazette.
