An English medical man who iu
tent out to Bulgaria to look after the
health of English workmen ou a rail
way bad oocasion to takoa few stitches
la tho eyelid of hishorso. To secure
quiet on the part of his dumb patient
he proposed to administer chloroform,
and called upon one of the engineers to
assist him. The result of the eiperl
ment is told by the assistant:
"It vu icttled that wo should take
the home Into a died thickly strewn
with hny, and that I should administer
the chloroform. Tlu was quickly done,
or rather commenced. The chloroform
waa poured on a thick cloth, and I held
It to the horse's nose. At first he oli
JecUxl and tossed hi head, but present
ly a contented look came over bis face
and he stood stock (till.
"At thin I said, 'Its all right, doo
tor; get ready, ho will soon I off.' To
which tho doctor replied, 'I am rather
astonished tliat ho baa not gone through
the excited stage.'
"J lint aa ho told this tho horse gave a
iudden plunge which knocked me over
on my baek hi the hay, and then he
omaictioed the moot eccentric unhorse
like proceeding. He tut up on hit tall
and tried to reach the roof with hit
toot Failing hi this ho Jumped up and
rushed into the corner, whew ho did
h beat again and agiu'n to run up tho
wall, tumbling ovorou hi back at each
attempt. Then ho tried to put hii
bead through between both his front
and hi hind h'g, and so went head
over heels forward.
"I bolted, but will It bo believed that
the unfeeling doctor held tho door
against mo, and only answered to my
entreaties to bo let out, 'Hold it to hi
DomI hold It to Iiia nose I Look sharp
and hold it to his none!" and when at
last I succeeded hi bunting the door
open and making my escape I was
grouted with contemptuous looks and
words!
"A Rarey might have liked the skua
tion. I am not a Rarey, and was very
cautious how I went up to the beast,
cren after ho had got over his flurry
and stood stock still, looking very
much astonished, as well he might."

Height of Luminous Clouds.
A series of experiments have been con
ducted in Germany during the past year
with thoobject of determining tho height
of luminous clouds, und a large number
of photographic impressions have been
secured. From those a valuable fund of
information on cloud phenomena has
been gained. Tho result of comparing
the various results obtained at dilTcrcut
observatories goes to show that these

not to do this from somo whim.

Modern Literary Chances.
The aspirant for literary honors with
pecuniary remuneration should remem
ber that the most famous names in the
literary guild earned their money for the
most part in other than literary ways,
Bryant was an editor and publisher,
Longfellow and nolme9 and Lowell were
Harvard professors. Emerson und Bay

was also a Tribune editor. Curtis and
Stoddard depend upon editorial salaries;
Stedmau is a broker, und Halleck was

And one might go further with this list,

It was always Longfellow's advice to

A Orllcloui Drink.
George Parsons Lathrop tells of a de
licious summer drink which may seem
new to many people, but is really more
of a revival of something m vogue sever
al years ago. It is tho sauterne cup, and
is as satisfying to the thirst as milk and
water or oatmeal water, and withal,
more epicurian. You take equal parts
of Sauterne and Apollinaris water, and
put them in a clear crystal pitcher,
swecteuing with three lumps of susrar to
a quart, and adding a slice or two of j
pineapple and a long paring of cucum-1
her rind. Let this filled pitcher stand i
for a few minutes in a vessel of ice, or '
wrap around the pitcher a towel of !
cricked ice aud salt. Under no circnui- j

would injure tho fiue flavor. Just be

Tricks of the Ulrda.
"I was much amused one afternoon,"
lays an observant frieud, "by a little
family scene on a twig of an elm tree,
where a fly catcher had her tiny brood of
five, just out of tho nest, all perched in
a row. Sho was feeding them, and the
little dots took their rations with great
content as often as tho mother caught an
insect and flew back with the morsel to
each oion beak in turn. Tho rcguhirity
with which she kept account, feeding one
after another, in exact order, from top
to bottom of tho row, was very interest
ing. Presently oue small chap grew im
patient, and whilo the mother was away
fluttered over and crowded himself into
tho place next to tho bird lost fed ex
actly as if he had planned to get the next
fly. Ho sat thero, looking very sober and
innocent when tho mother returned, bnt
she saw tho trick at once, and gave the
fly to tho right bird, whisking tho inter
loper (us I fancied) with her wing as she
pjissed him, by way of cuffing his ears.
Probably ho was the rogue of the family,
aud she knew him too well." "
A VERY OLD NEWSPAPER.
Dow Lloyd's List Was Started Two Bun
dred Yean Ago.
The oldest paper published In the En
glish language, except The London Ga
zette, is Lloyd's List, which made its
first appearance in a dingy little London
coffee house in 1002. There is no news
paper" more generally read by shippers
and murine merchants than Lloyd's, and
yet few of its readers know, its very re
markable history, or thut of the great
commercial business that has grown np
with it.
About 1673 there was a coffee house in
Tower street, London, kept by one Ed
ward Lloyd, where a knot of merchants
gathered at noon to discuss business and
gossip over the threatening Romanism
of James II. From this small beginning
has grown up one of the greatest and
most powerful commercial organizations
in the world, not the least important
feature of which is an intelligence de
partment, which for widoness of range
and efficient working has no parallel in
the history of private enterprise.
As early as 1683 The London Gazette
contained a flattering notice of Lloyd's
shop, and four years later the proprietor,
who seems to have been a rousing good
business man, moved his establishment
to Lombard street, then the center of
London's wealthy and influential mer
chant populace. The astute coffee house
proprietor at this time began the publi
cation of his News, a weekly paper filled
with commcrciid and shipping informa
tion, and it became very popular with
those Seventeenth century men of trade.
It subsequently changed its name to
Lloyd's List, and ever since that time
has enjoyed an uninterrupted publica
tion. Throughout the greater part of the
Eighteenth century Lloyd's was the most
popular place known to London mer
chants and underwriters. Lloyd himself
probably died in the early part of the
century, but his name and his paper had
ineffaceably marked the business of that
time, as it marks that of the present day.
London's great business of marine in
surance owes its existence to the printed
form of policy issued by the Lloyd As
sociation of Underwriters, an association
that has never been known by any other
name than that of tho poor but popular
coffee house proprietor and editor. The
whole superstructure of marine insur
ance rests upon The List, which for 200
years has embraced the collection, pub
lication and diffusion of every form of
intelligence with respect to shipping.-
