THE PRINCE OF ANIMALS.
Th Mors III Kntll.h rWrj anil In III Kit
gllsh Drama.
In English poetry we first meet witt
the horse in Chaucer's verse. In "Tro
ilu and Cresslda" be figures tinder tbi
name of Rayard; and we hear the clat
ter of hoofs and the jingle of hrldlt
bells In the prologue to "The Canter
bury Talea" Pasalng on to the Eli
abethan writer, we come upon somi
picturesque sketches in Spensor'i
"Faerie Queen." As, for instance
when tho Red Cross Knight prlcki
across the plain:
Ills anirry steed doth chide h fomnluK hit
As mucti disdaining to the curb to ylel'l.
And there are some spirited alius ons it
more than one of the elder dramatists,
from Beaumont and Fletcher to Fori)
and Shirley, which I have no space U
quote or particularize. Shakeapeare,
however, Is the only one whoapproachoi
the subject with exact and sympathetic
knowledge. I will not go Into tho hack
neyed passage of "Venus and Adon.s,"
whore the point of a porfect animal an
insisted upon with the accuracy of as
expert and the felicity of a great poet.
But I shall ask leave to refresh ths
reader's recollection of a certain scent
in "Henry the Fifth, "where the Dauphin
enthusiastically recites the fine quali
ties of his "prince of palfreys." Non
but a man who knew and lovod th(
borse could have penned this fervent
message: "I will not change my horse,'
says the Dauphin, "with any that treadi
but In four pastern. Ca hal He boundt
from the earth as if his entrails wore
hairs; le cheval volant, the 1'ogasus,
oher les narines de foul When I be
stride blm I soar, I am a hawk; he troU
the air; the earth sings when he touchei
It; the basost born of bis hoof is more
musical than the pipe of Hermes.
It is a beast for Perseus; be il
pure air and fire. The man
hath no wit that can not, from the rising
of the lark to the lodging of the lamb,
vary deserved praiao on my palfrey."
Like the Neapo itan Prince in the
"Merchantof Venice," "he doth nothing
but talk of his borse."
In "Troilus and Cresslda" occurs an
allusion to one of Hector's steeds:

How Jay (iould Wipes Away the l'rrjudlca
nf Ills Fellow Citizens.
When Juy Gould goes to a new town
he generally wipes away the prejudice
that has existed against him. The fol
lowing are a few extracts, taken from
weekly newspapers along the line of
the "New Cut" railway :
Zigvillo Demjcrat: "Jay Gould, the
great railroad magnate, who was in our
city lu-tt Monday, is much impressed
with our commercial importance. He
looked over the ground and la about de'
elded that he will locate his new rail'
road shops' here. This will be the mak
ing of Zlgvllle."
Hopkins Observer (fifteen miles
furthor down the road): "Our flourish
Ing city was honored last Tuesday with
a visit from the great Jay Gould. We
are aware what a strong prejudice exists
in the minds of many of "ur people
against tills - wondorf nl man, and. wa
confess that hitherto we have shared
the prejudice, but wo now have a chance,
one and all of us, to join our interests
with his. He looked our city over
thoroughly and contemplates locating
bis new railroad shops at this place.
This will make Hopkins tho most 1m
portant city on the road.
Mitchell Recorder (ten miles still
farther down): "Ourpeoplo wore greatly
surprised last Wednesday to receive a
visit from the world-ronowned Jay
Gould. He was cordially received bv
our worthy mayor and a large number

pleased to toll our people a pleasant

much of Mitchell no thanks to our
merchants that do not advertise he has
decided to locate the shops of his entire
system of railways in our city. This
will give Mitchell a boom that will be
chronicled by all the great newspapers
of the country. Whon we started the
Recorder eight months ago we were
strongly opposed by a certain moss-back
element, but we paid no attention to
opposition, having como here to stay.

a success far greater than we could have
hoped for. The eye of the entire coun

HEALTH AND HYSTERIA.
Haw to Treat Tenons ARtlrttd With Nat
ons Deranareinenf. I
The supposed cause of byaterla IneJ
hardly mention, there beiig none tlft
would appeal to or be understood by Is
lay reader. One fact, however, desert
notice namoly, that we seldom find
ailment among those who work oubf
doors. In a great measure hysteria' a
disease of polite society. It Is sometles
found among men and here the caei
are loss obscuro over work, night vfk,
blgh living and fast life with too Jtlei
sleep, may Induce hysteria ln malobut
It then usually goes by the name of arv
ous debility. f
Now, as to the treatment The biter
leal patient generally expects ai de
sires a great deal of sympathy, aniome
medical men recommend that tfe b
withhold entirely. As I have aoady
hinted, I deem this somewhat Orsh.
Let the medical man do as ho fanes,
however and most certainly thPhysl
cian should be consulted and has not
always with the patient, but her ends
and rolatlves are. Let the n be
guilty of want of fooling. They It do
their utmost to cheor and rouf the
patient without actually turig a
deaf ear to all her coiflain
ings. Besides, ln doing sohere
would be the danger of overlook some
real complaint It is probably Ike the
old fablo of the shepherd and le wolf.
Never mind, we must look ou'for the
wolf just the same. But how re we to
distinguish between a real or Iflamma
tory pain, and that which is tnrely hys
terical? We have that good Hie fairy
yclept the clinical thormomotr, and no
house should be without one. j
As to the treatment durln a fit or
paroxysm of hysteria, the diss is, of
course, to be loosened, the piient kept
as quiet as possible, and tl windows
open. Smelling-salts will sually do
the rest or a dash ot cold war.
As already stated, in evcy case" of
hysteria the family physiolaishould be
consulted and obeyed. But t is a con
solatlon for those who can nt easily got
medical assistance to knowtbat drugs
are not always essential i few drops
of the dlalysed Iran say ,en may be
given thrice dally ln water,tftor meals,

It there be no paleness of ountenance,
even this will hardly be ntded. Aperi

Hli Capability of Maaterlnf His Appetlti
and I'aMlona,
Bismarck's resignation has called up
a host of reminiscences or the stalwart
old Chancellor. A good share of them
refer to his enormous capacity for eat
ing, drinking and smoklig, but the nar
rators of the anecdotes lave omitted to
note the fact that Blstiarck, while a
master of diplomacy ani a man who
held all of his associates, from the Em
peror down, with a rigid hand, should
be accredited with another achievement
He has shown his ability to master him
self and all of his appetites and passions
absolutely. For sixty-five years he ate,
smoked and drank more in all probabil
ity than any other single man in the
world. Six quarts of Rhine wine In the
course of an afternoon when Europoan
complications were exciting, left the
Chancellor with quite a sturdy thirst
when dinner time arrived. Y'et o the
prescription of his doctor and in order
to reduce his weight he bad grown
dangerously stout he deliberately shut
off on all liquids, ceased eatiig vege
tables, and kept himself on a iet that
would have tried the temper, pluck and
will of the most enthusiasts of ama
teur athletes until he had reduced his
bulk nearly seventy poundi It is re
lated that in a similar wsy he ceased
smoking at an hour's notice so as to
make an accurate test of the effect that
smoking had upon his serves. One of
his physicians told him that a tremu
lousness of the hand, of which he com
plained, was the result of hi inordinate
use of tobacco. He thereupon broke off
a life-long habit with as much ease as
tnough bis love for smoking was a mere
caprice. At the end of six months ha
found that his hand still shook. Than
he took up smoklhg again and has kept
at it ever since. Brooklyn Eagle.
