HORSE RECKONING.
An Instance Showing the Animal's Ma th
em at lea! Capability.
A Russian doctor has been experi
menting' to find ho-.v far some of our
domestic animals can count. The in
telligence of the horse, as this is shown
iri mathematics, seems to surpass that
of the eat or the dog. The instances
given by him are interesting1, but be
fore they are accepted as authentic
they should be verified by the observa
tions of naturalists whose skill and
care are unquestioned.
He found a horse which was able to
count the mile posts along1 the way. It
bad been trained by its master to stop
for feed whenever they had covered
twenty-five versts.
One day they tried the horse over a
road where three false mile posts had
been put in between the real ones,
and sure enough, the horse, deceived
by this trick, stopped for his oats at
the end of twenty-t wo versts instead of
poing the usual twenty-five.
The same horse was accustomed to
being fed every day at the stroke of
noon. The doctor observed that when
ever the clock struck the horse would
stop and prick up his cars as if count
ing1. If he heard twelve strokes he
would trot oft' contentedly to be fed,
but if there were fewer than twelve he
would resignedly go on working.
The experiment was made of striking
twelve strokes at the wrong time,
whereupon the horse started for his
oats, in spite of the fact that he had
been fed only an hour before. .
Ahout a year ago I took a violent at
tack of la grippe. I coughed day and
night for about e'is weeks ; my wife then
suggested that I try Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. At first I could see no
difference, but still kept trying it, and
Boon found that it was what I needed
If I got no relief from one doso I took
another, and it was onl a few days un
til I was free from the cough. I think
people in general ought to know the
value of this remedy, and I take pleas
ure in acknowledging the benefit I have
received from it. Madisox Mustard,

MONGOtS OF KO-KONOR,
Brigandage Is the General Profession of
Ambitions kooDg AXeo.
Our road first lay through the dis
trict, inhabited by the agricultural
tribes on the frontier. Then we en
tered . tho country oceupied by the
Mongols of the Ko-ko Nor", says a
writer in the National Review. The
pasture there was the richest I have
ever seen in any part of J.hioet; but
an idyllic pastoral life is by no means
practiced . by the inhabitants. Brig
andage is the general profession.
The young men spend their time either
in making raids on travelers and on
encampments of their tribes, by which
means they mostly acquire their cher
ished horses, .or in practicing the art
of warfare. I witnessed a military
tournament,'' at which some riders at
full gallop fired one after another at a
small given mark.
These Mongols are tall and fierce look
ing, though they proved amiable when
friendly. The men shave tharir heads.
IJoth men and women dress in a gown
of sheepskin, girded round the waist,
high boots of felt and skin, bound be
low the knee with a leathern strap or
cotton garter, and long white felt
coats, which they wear over the sheep
skin when it rains. Their summer hat
is of white felt, in shape something
like the top hat worn by the old
Welch market women. The cap they
wear in winter is of white astrakhan;
shaped like a sugar loaf, with a red and
green cotton brim.
The women dress their hair in little
plaits, more than a hundred, caught
together at the ends with a wide band
af colored cloth, which is embroidered
with gay silks and gold thread, and
studded with coral and tprquoise,
silver coins and brass buttons, which
they get from Lhassa. The tents are
round; the inner sides of trellis-work,
the top of wooden ribs, giving an um
brella shape, and the whole covered
with white felt, with an aperture for
a small door of wood, and a hole in the
roof to let out the smoke.
TREACHEROUS SNOW.
Dangers to
Which the Chamois Hunter
Subjects Himself.
One of the perils which the chamois
hunter must face is that which lurks
in the snow. Mr. Buxton, in his Short
Stalks, tells the story of Herr S 's
adventure, which graphically illus
trates this danger. He was following
with one companion, in the depth of
winter, the trail of a wounded cha
mois. The track led them across a
steep couloir filled with deep, loose
snow, into which they plunged up to
their middles.
When half way across this the mass
parted just above them, and moved
downwards with ever-accelerating
speed, sometimes covering them deep
with a surging mass, and then again
tossing them into the air.
At last S felt himself suddenly
and violently arrested by some pro
truding substance, which afterwards
proved to be a broken stump of a tree.
After a time, he recovered conscious
ness, and succeeded in shaking him
self free.
The first thought was for his friend,
of whom nothing was to be seen. But
as he gazed over the waste of snow he
saw at a distance a twig, which had
been pressed downwards, recover itself
and sprint; up.
Thinking it might be the sign of
some life he made his way to the spot,
and close by it found a boot protract
ing from the surface. Scraping the
snow awav as best he could with his
naked hands he at length uncovered
the body so far as the face.
The man was apparently dead, and
his face was almost black; but present
ly he came to, and was little the worse,
while S himself, in turn, fainted
from the injuries he had received, and
was laid up for six weeks before be re
covered. HER BEST.
Pathetic Instances of the Child's Instinct
for Fan.
Mrs. Molesworth, who writes 'a "mov
ing article in Woman's Work, concern
ing the necessity of obtaining "fun,
food and fresh air" for all classes of
children, says that there are among
London's poor thousands of little ones
who never had a toy.
Yet still the child's instinct to "make
believe" surmounts every practical ob
stacle, and there is a true' story of one
little sufferer from a chronic disease
whose only plaything were the spots
of uamp on tho wall beside her bed.
She played they were real and alive;
she gave them names and imaginary
qualities. .
Another true story showed how far
the little candle of a wise and loving
word may throw its beams. : A teacher
at a Sunday school for London's poor
was trying to impress upon her little
pupils some idea of the real meaning
01 giving.
oaievern may rje, .sne saia, 'our
offering to God should be of our best,
of what we prize most."
In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day a little
creature confided her offering to the
'teacher; it was a carefully- tied pack
age, containing a few grains of r.ce.
This was her most precious and per
haps her only treasure.
