A MOURNER'S HORSE.
Recently on my way across the downs 1
overtook the national schoolmaster and
walked Mine little distance with him dh
cussing free education and what would
come of it. The schoolmaster is town brad
a thin, clean shaven man, whose black
habit and tall hat, though considerably
bronsed, refused to harmonise with the
tcenery amid which they move. His speech
is formal and slightly dogmatic. On the
nbjeutof free education be talked with
angry posttiveQesa, ei one acquainted with
the facta, H in cold eyea sparkled behind
hie spectacles, and, tucking hit umbrella
tightly under his armpit, be ticked off his
arguments, tapping hia right forefinger on
the palm of hi left hand,
Thua occupied, we were passing the wall
of a farmhouse on the edge of the downs
when an ugly sheepdog, a griuled, tail
less brute, cutnt leaping over it and Sew at
our leg.
i had wheeled around and my ash sap
Img was lifted for a blow when the school
master arrested me with a peal of horrible,
discordant laughter. He waa crouching,
with a biuid on either thigh and his spec
tacjes almost on a level with tht dog's
jaw. His hat had shifted to the back of
bis head, and the look of derision on bis
face was something devilish. At interval
of about three seconds he Rung a yell of
unnatural mirth straight in the dog's face,
Down went the brute's tail, and be slunk
around and back over the wall, rubbing
his belly on the coping in his abject di
com fit ure.
Toe schoolmaster straightened himself
and resumed bis somber respectability at
cnoe. I stared back on the empty road
without speaking. The man's impish out
burst, to tell the truth, bad startled me
not a tittle, 1 saw its success, of course,
but somehow it bad been too well done,
and 1 wondered if be would take up his
argument again.
Instead be chuckled dryly after a mo
ment aad begun:
'That's a better weapon than a gun."
"Ridicule f"
fie nodded.
"You used it uncommonly well," said !.
"Oh, it's easy. The teat of any creature
mail or dog is, Can be parry It I I never :
met one that tauld. You see, every Irving
being has some secret shame; man or dog, ,
we all preteud to be what we are not. It
is all very well to say 'like to the crack
ling of thorn under a pot but the point
Is that we're all iu the pot and liable to be
cooked."
He walked on a dozen steps and resumed
fci a tone altogether lighter:
"I'll tell you a tale on this poiut that
may amuse you at my expense. I am Lou
don bred, as you knowa cockney in the
grain to this day, thoueh when 1 came
down here to teach school I was barely
twenty and now I'm flfty-slx. Twas dur

foot in the neighborhood, a week before
school opened again. 1 came early to look

people and settle down a bit before be

"The vicar the Late vicar commended
me to the farmhouse we had just passed.
It was occupied in those days by an old
farmer called Reuliack, a widower and
child lew. His istttr, Miss Jane Ann, kept
bonse for bim, and the were the only
two souls on the premise till I came and
was boarded by them fur thirteen shillings
a week. For that price they let me have
a bedroom, a fair sited sitting room and as
much as f could cat.
"A month after I arrived Farmer Retal
lack was put to bed with a bad attack of
colic. This was on a Weduesdsy, and on
Saturday morning Miss Jane Ann came to
my door with a message that the old man
would like to see me. So 1 went to his
room ami found him propped up in the bed
with pillows and looking very yellow in
the gills, though clearly convalescent.
' 'Schoolmaster,' said be, 'I've sum mat

"Now the fact was, I bad never driven a
horse in my life and hardly knew, as they
say, a horse's bead from his tail til he be
gan to move. But this is just the sort of
ignorance no young man will confess to.
bo 1 answered that I was engaged that
evening. We were just organizing night
classes for the young men of the parish

short address, at half oast b.

"Choke Off" In Eugtlab Prlwms.
The greater number of men who daily
complain of sickness in a convict prison
are undoubtedly shamming in order toob

Generally it is no easy task to impose upon
an experienced prison doctor, and "fly

throw dust into bis eyes. In most case
the medico Is too sharp for the koowfug

"choke off," to be taken there and then
"Choke off" is compounded of several of

I THE PARIS AMBULANCE SYSTEM.
Careful Trannfer of Patient with Conta
! giou Dlae to the Hoapltat.
The ambulnnces of the Do Stael and
Chaliogly street stations in Paris have
four wheels provided with rubber tires
and are drawn by one horse. The corners
sre rounded in the interior, and the sheet
Iron sides are painted and varnished. They
contain a flexible metallic seat for the
nurse and a litter for the patient. A rub
ber tube permits of communication with
the driver. They include no drawers for
the carriage of the clothing and bedding
f the patient, this service being incum
bent upon the disinfecting nut ion. In
winter they are heated with cylinders of
hot water,
. Each of these vehicles is capable of carry
ing one adult patient or two children af
flicted with the same contagious disease.
Tbe ambulance Is closed by the driver,
who must keep the key in his pocket, but
tbe door can be opened from the interior.
So no outsider can open it by inadvertance.
The litter put in use In the ambulance
stations of Paris is jointed, so that the pa
tient can be either seated or placed in a re
clining posture without having to be dis
turbed. It Is arranged as an armchair for
descending stairways and as a bed in the
ambulance. The invalid rests on a cushion
of pure horsehair, which can lie passed
through the disinfecting stovean indefinite
period.
The patient having been brought down
stairs the legs of tbe litter are placed upon
tbe rollers designed to facilitate iu intro
duction or removal through rails arranged
in the vehicle. This litter is made of iron
I plate, painted and varnished. Apertures
! are punched in the bottom of it in order to
i give it greater lightness. For children a
litter in the form of a hand barrow is used,
j It Is easily seen that this apparatus can be
very easily disinfected,
j The carriage is effected as follows: Each
I station comprises a superintendent, two
drivers and a groom. The nurses, who are
trained, put on for the carriage of the
patient a long Mouse of unbleached cotton,
well adjusted to the neck and wrmta, de
scending to the heelsand buttoning all the
way down. The head covering is a cotton
cap, which incloses the hair and falls upon
the neck.
The road costume of the driver is a blouse
and a pair of trousers of cotton worn over
his ordinary clothing, and an oilcloth cap
which can lie easily washed with a disin
fecting solution.
The ambulances may be ordered direct
by the public verbally, by letter, by tele
graph or by telephone. As soon as the
notification is received the station superin
tendent calls up the driver and nurse
through an electric bell, tbe number of j
strokes sounded giving tbe number of tbe '
ambulances to be got ready. The ambu
lances, moreover, are always ready to start
and a horse remains constantly harnessed.
In the office there is posted a list showing
to what hospital the patient will have to
be sent, according to the nature of his
disease.
Tbe ambulance must not stop at any
point of iu travel under any pretext what
ever. As soon as it bos deposited the pa
tient at the hospital it must return to tbe
station, where it first enters tbe yard
set apart for disinfection. This operation
is effected by means of a liquid pro
jected by a vaporizer. The outer clothing
of the nurse and driver are placed in the
disinfecting stove, Theambulance and iu
litter are afterward placed in tbe wagon
house. The nurse, before retiring to her
apartments, enters a room where she
makes her toilet with disinfecting liquids,
and takes cai'j not to neglect to brush her
hands and nails with care. Paris letter.
Making the Bench.
A good story is told of a United States
senator who began life as a carpenter.
"1 will not always be a carpenter," be
used to declare, for it seems he had set his
heart upon some time entering the legal
profession. Be did not slight bis carpen
ter's work for his day dreams of what be
should do and become, but was noted for
bis honest, conscientious labor.
One day the young man was planing a
board that was to become a part of a
"judge's bench" when a friend, observing '
his painstaking, inquired:
"Why do you take so much pains to
smooth that board"
Instantly tbe young carpenter replied:
"Because 1 want a smooth scat when I
come to sit on it."
His friend laughed and thought the joke
so good that be reported it in tbe shop, and
the young man waa bantered not a little
about tbe "judge's bench." He always
replied, good naturally:
"Wait aud see. He laughs who wins,
and I may sit there yet."
And he did; but the distance between
the carpenter's and judge's bench was
paved with heroic struggles and self sacri
fice. Youth's Companion.
Scared by a Voice In the Box.
A baggageman on a midnight train,
while taking on board the usual toad of
freight and baggage, placed to one side a
parrot cage. Further up the line, at a
small station, he took on board a corpse,
and as the next stopping place was a long
distance, the baggageman, in order to be i
comfortable for the ride, stretched himself
at full length on the coffin.
He had not ridden far when to his great
horror he heard issuing as he supposed
from the coffin these words, "Iet me out."
The baggageman immediately made up
his mind to get out, but was stopped at
the end of tbe car by the mail agent. They
decided to investigate the matter, and
while thus engaged again heard, "Let me
out," in decided tones.
They determined to open the coffin and
liberate the corpse, when to their great
surprise they heard the same voice ex
claim, "Polly wants a cracker!" That

A tnarnuse was interrupted Thursday
night by the groom becoming suddenly
overcome with the heat and he had to
be taken to his hotel, where he bus been
confined to his bed ever since.
The groom in question Is Mr. W. 8.
Fowler who boards at the Enterprise
hotel. Until a short while ago he con
ducted a livery stable on East Market
street, but retired about a year ago with
a comfortable fortune. Mr, Fowler is
a widower, seventy-five years old, and
has several grown children. A short
while ago he met Miss Lillie Townsend,
a young woman twenty-five years of
age, who is employed by J. Bacon & Sons
at the glove counter.
The courtship did not last long till the
engagement was announced, Mr. Fowl
er's children, it seems, objected strongly
to the marriage and did everything in
their power to break off the match. They
were unsuccessful, however, and June
15, the day set for the marriage, arrived.
The wedding was to take place where
Miss Townsend has boarded for several
years. Everything was in readiness at
the time appointed the guests, the min
ister and the happy couple.
Just before the time for the ceremony
Mr. Fowler became very faint and
would have fallen but for the support of
one of the guests. He soon lost con

An Imprisoned Genius,
Alberto Lopaz, who was taken to

term for burglary gave hie personal ef
fects to his friends about the jail.
Deputy Barry was presented with a fac
simile of the Episcopal church made
out of pasteboard. Lopaz could see the
church from one of the jail windows,
and he reproduced it almost perfectly.
He borrowed a knife from Deputy Sheri
dan with which he cut up the paste
board, and then made paste from flour
with which to stick the pieces together.
It is a piece of workmanship to be proud
of. The greatest production of Lopaz
while confined in jail here is a reproduc
! tion of the magnificent Merchants' ex
i change building in Guadalajara. The
entire affair is constructed of paper.
On the inside of the building are the
stairways, etc., each perfect in its con

sessed of a memory much stronger than
most men are, to remember every detail
of that large structure for a number of

possessed, he hamade bad use of it.

Troublesome Seal.
The salmon fishermen down the river
and bay are having trouble this spring
from the seals, as usual. These pesta
are multiplying rather than decreasing
and are causing great losses to the weirs.
While the Beals of the arctic regions
have the reputation of being slow,
stupid animals, hunters killing them
with clubs, those on the Maine coast
are the sharpest game to be found.
They will go in and out of the salmon
weirs, either by force or strategy, and
eat all the fish they want. They are
very hard to get a shot at, and when hit

Whnt a Plucky Woman Did to a M.'iB
Who Tried to Impose Upon Her.
"Talking about 'pure grit,' "said awom
an who was lunching the other day at th
Colonial club, "I knew a woman once who
was full of it."
"Tell us about her," exclaimed the other
two women of the luncheon party. "Who
was she?" .
"Why, she was my mother," answered
the first speaker, "She was the littlest lit
tle woman I ever saw, but there was cour
age and fight enough In her to stock a
regiment. I don't mean that she was a
nagging creature, making trouble for
everybody. She was the sweetest, kindest
woman in the world. It was only when
somebody tried to impose on her, or on
some of us girls, that she came out us a
fighter. Iiet me tell you a story about her,
and you'll see what I mean.
"Well, we were living iu Iowa when my
father, a minister, by the way, died and
left mother to manage a farm and to
cure for a big family of girls. The grain
was high in the field and ft hod to be cut
at once. Mother entered into negotiations
with a neighbor and was just about to
close a trade with him when she discovered
that he was trying to overreach Insisting
on terms that were exorbitant and ab
surd. "Mother told him that she'd get some
body else to cut the grain, and that made
him so angry that he was quite rude in his
speech. But mother shut the door in his
face and left him to have his sputter out
all by himself.
"That night about 1 o'clock mother was
awakened by a noise out in the yard. She
slipped out of bed and peered through the
window. There was that same farmer en
gaged in taking down the bars of the
fence that surrounded the field of grain
that mother wouldn't let him cut. The
bars down, the man went out into the road
for a minute, and tbe next mkiuse he came
back driving a yoke of oxen, which he
turned loose into the field."
"What did your mother say to the man?"
asked one of the listeners.
"She didn't say anything."
"Dkln't she tell him to take tbat cattle
right out of the field?"
"No, indeed; that was not her way of do
ing things. What she did first was to
dress herself. Then she Bfcole quietlydown
stairs and went out into the yard. Then
she went to the bam and got an ox goad.
Then she bounded to the grain field and
drove the oxen out of it."
"And then she went back to .bed, I sup- ,
pose," said one of the women. "Ordid she'
watch the rest of the night r" ,
"Neither. She drove those oxen a mile
and a half down the road till she came to a
great field of corn which belonged to that
awful man. Then she took down the bars
and wished the oxen good morning.
"On the way back she stopped long,
enough to open the gate of a posture in s
which wits quite a herd of steers and to)
set some of them moving toward the corn
field, and they found that field, I can as

had done, and we just hugged her aud

Color Blindness
Professor Bering undertook a series of
observations upon three normal-sighted
persons, namely, upon nimsell ana his two
assistants, Doctor Biedermann and Doctor
Stilling. These experiments were designed
to elicit whether any constant differences
could be detected in the color judgments
of tbe three normal sighted persons who
were the subject of experiment. The ques
tion proposed for judgment was the de
termination of the point at which a red
which hud been graduated off on the one
side into a blue red and on the other into a
yellow ml, could be regarded as at tbe
neutral poiut ut which it did not incline
either to the one or tbe other of these col
ors. When the mutter was put to the ex
perimental test in this manner, constant
differences were actually discovered to ob
tain between the judgments of the three
individual observers.
The one observer, Dr. Bledefmanu, in all
cases still continued to see a yellowish tinge
when the red proposed for judgment had
already, in the judgment of the two other
observers, long ceased to contain any trace
of yellow. Similarly, when it was a ques
tion of transition from a blue red to a pure
red, the blue faded out from tbe red first
to Dr. Biedurmauu, next to Professor Her
ing, and last of all to Dr, Stilling. Iu
fact Dr. Biedermann had regularly begun
to see a yellow shade in the red before it
had well ceased to have a blue shade for
Dr. Stilling. Professov Hering was ascer
tained to occupy a kind of intermediate
position iu respect to his susceptibility
to yellow and blue rays. Nineteenth Cen
