"You must put Old Jim out of the way before I come home !" That was the parting order of Mr. Bardwell, as he drove away to Poultney, on thatdieary November morning. The matter had b?en pending for weeks, and, yet the words cast a sudden gloom over the household. Nobody ate much breakfast, and there was little talking. Old Jim had betn the favorite family horse for ye irs; but he was now too old to be of much use, and Farmes Bardwell could not afford to keep him through another win ter. Crops had teen poor, and with Jasper in college, and Tina at boarding-school, it; was all the fanner could do to make both ends meet. Mr. Bardwell was toq merciful a man to sell the horse, perhaps to let him be worked to death in a few weeks or months. Sc he had come to the conclusion that the most humane way was to kill him outright, though it nearly broke his heart to think of it. It was not ofton that the farmer shirked his duty, but now he had arranged that a small bit of busi ness shonld keep him in Poultney all day, for he argued : "The boys will do it easier than I could, and I shaL be thankful to have it over with." John Bardwell knew that a command from his father was not to be trifled with, so after the chores were done he brought out his gun, saying, "If we must do this thing, we must I suppose, and the sooner the better. Come on, Joseph !" Joseph followed his brother to the barn without a word, but when he came to Old Jim's stall and heard his familiar whinny, it was all he could do to keep from crying, big twelve year-old boy that he was. The spot selected for the tragic scene was a hemlock grove about two miles from the farmhouse, chosen because Mrs. Bardwell had\ said, "If I hear that gun go off, it will kill me !" So John and Joseph and Old Jim plodded across tho desolate fields toward this remote corner of the farm. The brothers were never boys of many words, and now they were silent till they reached the edge of the little wood. There John, who had been stalk ing ahead, paused irressolute. Ho took an apple from his pocket, and let the horse eat it from his hand. Then he . buried his face for a moment in the gray mane. 4,You must do it, Joe-I can't," he said at last, holding out the gun. "Oh, John! No, no!" pleaded the younger boy, with a sob in his voice. "Well, somebody's got to, and I sha'n't ! So go ahead. You can shoot as well as I. Only be quick and sure about it; that's all." Joseph was naturally a timid boy, never asserting his indepen dence, as John often did, and without another word of remon strance ho turned down the wood path, his arm around Old Jim's neck. John threw himself on the ground and waited. It seemed a long time, and then the sound came that he was d reading to hear the sharp report of his gun. With n groan he covered his ears with his jg hands. Joseph said nothing when he returned, and John could not bring himself to ask any questions. They were half way home when the younger boy lagged behind. "What.is the matter?" asked j John. "I am so tired," said Joseph ; "and my head has ached all this morning." He looked really ill, and with out more ado John.took him on his back, saying, "I am strong enough to carry two of you," and thus they reached home. That was the beginning of a long sickness for Joseph, and it. was the last cf March before he WES able to be out-of-doors again. On the day following the sorrowful little journey to the hemlock grove, there had been a heavy snowfall, and the ground had been covered all winter. One day, near the first of April, j Joseph was missing. Nobody knew J where he was. At last John) discovered tracks in the snow leading off toward the evergreen wood, and he started to follow them. But he soon came to a sudden halt as he looked ahead. There was Joseph, and-could he believe his eyes?-there was surely Old Jim walking ct his side! How well he knew the white foot, and the white star in the forehead! John bounded forward, and in al moment was covering Old Jim with tears and caresses, while the! horse whinnied and rubbed his head against the lad's shoulder. "Oh John!" cried Joseph; "Ii couldn't kill him that day, so I just tied him with a little string, and shel the gun into the air, and there he has lived all winter, and pawed away the snow to get the grass; and-oh, do you suppose father will care?" '.Care !" echoed John. "He has said more than once that he would give anything to have him back again. Why, he will be the happiest man in town." And Old Jim lived on oats and bread and butter and sugar and kis?os tha| rest of the day, and for years afterward dwelt in comfort and happiness on the old Vermont] farm.-Harper's Young People. The French Broad* The French Broal River, although it has but few claims, to celebrity, size or importance, has a beauty all its own and is well worthy of mention. Rising in the Blue Ridge Moutains of North Carolina, celebrated for their pricl rosque and magnificent 6cnery, it pursues a winding course for about 100 miles and then mingles with the waters of the Ohio. The spirngs that give it life are situated in the wildest re cesses of the mountains still known to sportsmen as the haunts of the bear and deer. For the first fifteen miles of its course it is an ideal trout stream, with waters clear as crystal and cold as ice. The early spring is the proper time to'visit this portion of it, for then it3 beauty baffles description. During the month of May the mountain laurel and wild rhodod endron are in full bloom, and as the banks of the stream are fringed with them the dark green leaves of these shrubs, their pink blossoms and ihe sparkling water create a picture so lovely that no eye could fail to be charmed by it. j But after rushing through many a mountain gorge, some of which are so narrow and deep that the I light of day never penetrates their gloomy solitudes, the French Broad reaches the valley below | and there its character undergoes a complete change. It is trans? formed, as if by magic, from ' a roaring torrent to a peaceful and slow moving river. Its banks are ni longer clothed with dense forest] and almos ; impenetrable thicket, but covered with well kept fand?I prosperous farms. One could scarcely believe this broad stream, with hardly a ripple upon the surface of its placid waters, to be the same that a few mile3 back came leaping down the mountiin side, creating many* a minature waterfall and cascade in its de scent. However, sad to say, the French Broad soon loses its picturesque | aspect, for the charming mountain stream deteriorates into a muddy, sluggish river, and the country through which4it flows, although highly cultivated and fruitful, does not bear comparison with the rugged grandeur of that above described as embellishing the first j few miles of its course. Happy at Last. Bishop Williams ot Connecticut is celebrated as a raconteur. He tells of a Canadian lady who for years lived unhappily with her hnsband. The man was a good, easy-going fellow, but his wife's tempei waB ungovernable, and at length drove him into a premature ;rave. At his death his wife teemed to feel great remorse for he past, and deep mourning and lonstaut weeping bore testimony to 1er grief. Some months after the uneral she went to a spiritualistic nedium s.nd was placed in :ommunication with the spirit of 1er departed spouse. A long ionversation followed, during vhich she asked : ''Are you happy mw dear husband?" "Oh, very iappy,"{ he answered. "Happier han you were in thia world ?"g she isked. "A thousand times," was ;he reply. "I'm so glad," she taid ;j"and where are you darling?" 'Oh, I'm in h-ll," came the reply. Proverb? of Youth. Toothache is worst just before ?chool time.

Ur,der the rule ind inspiration of the art decorator, a carioca confusion and introversion of ideas has come to pasa. Instead of a room being the reflection cf the person who mostly lives therein, (which should make the sight of a room, even more than that of a person's friend), be a true index of character), the room ls now looked upon aa the ruting guido.

SELECTING ANO TRAINING ANIMALS FOR FIRE ENGINES. Ceeielderable Potlenco and a Period of ?boat a Mouth !? Needed for Baw Be crults- The Boree Plays an Important Part at Every Fire la a Big City. Of the praise which has been showered upon the New York fire department for the excellence of its system, the splendid animals that bani the heavy engines and tracks have their share. Any one who had watched one of the crack engine companies tearing through the street in response to an alarm cannot have failed to notice how the horses strained every muscle to cover the distance as quickly as possible, with scarcely a touch from the driver's whip. Some of the horses show an almost human intelligence in the quickness with which they respond to the alarms sounded by the big gongs. Nowhere can that be seen better than in the house of Engine 7, at Chambers and Center streets, where two horses, Jo and Charley, hold the record for the quickest time in getting into harness. Horses and men have to show off fre quently for the benefit of visitors. The foreman sounds the gong in one of these exhibitions, but docs not release the horses at once, as the regular alarm does by electrical apparatus. The two big horses, whose stalls are on either side of the engine, strain at their halters and jump in their eagerness to get to their places. The moment the foreman re leases them by touching an electric but ton they spring forward and duck their heads under the collars suspended with the rest of the harness from the ceil ing and ready to be fastened about their necks. Sometimes the foreman snaps the col lar beforehand to test the intelligence of the horses. Then Jo and Charley poke their heads through the closed collars and struggle until they get their heads through them. At an actual alarm of fire the horses will start on the instant, and they vie with the firemen in their eagerness to got to the fire. AN IMPORTANT ANIMA?? It is plain that the horse plays just as necessary a part in the autonomy of the lire department as a human member. The more intelligent the horse is the quicker the engine or truck which he is helping to haul will be at the scene of a fire. Horses that enter into the spirit of the work as heartily as the firemen art al most invaluable, for every moment saved frequently counts for much in saving rife and property, lt follows that the training of the horses which are added every year to the department is ns im portant as the training of the firemen, who must learn to handle the hose, ax and scaling ladder with expertness Al though that branch of the service is heard of seldom by the general public, Chief Bonner gives it tho strictest atten tion, and the recruits in horseflesh have to go through an ordeal just as severe as that which their human allies must un dergo. The training stables in West Ninety ninth street are in a quiet neighborhood and the new building is used also as the department's horse hospital. Foreman Joseph Shea, who is also Dr. Shea, hos charge of the stables. He was grad uated as a veterinary surgeon and has been connected with the department for eleven years. His position is one of the most important in the department He looks after all the sick horses in the engine houses, and is kept busy at the hospital with the horses laid up there. He buys the green horses for the depart ment, accepting them only after they have shown their ability to do the work required. The commissioners allow $300 for the purchase of each horse, and Dr. Shea makes his selection from the big bunches of western horses in the Bull's Head market He always selects a horse of good size, generally blocky, with plenty of muscle. The hor.se that has speed and strength in good proportion is the horse that Dr. Shea is looking for constantly. TRAINING NEW HORSES. There are 800 horses in active service hi the department, and about fifty re cruits have to be added each year. They usually go up to the Ninety-ninth street stable on trial, half a dozen at a time, and Dr. Shea has a month in which to accept or reject any one or all of the lot In that time he can tell whether the horse is likely to be of any value. As soon as the green horses arrive they are housed comfortably in the third story of the stable. Three roomy box stalls are there, too, and their doors indi cate hard usage. "Some of those green horses," one of the stablemen said, "don't seem to know anything else but how to kick, and they do that with a vengeance." All of the new recruits do not take kindly to their new quarters and still less to the training. In the ground story the green horse gets his first lesson. He is usually four or five years old and barely broken to harness. A part of the story is partitioned off for atender or hose cart The customary big fire gong is on the wall, and all of the alarms from Morrisania to the Battery are sounded. In stalls beside the tenders the raw recruits are broken in, two at a time. At first they must become accustomed to the sound of the big gong. Most horses are so confused by the clanging that they are absolutely intractable for awhile. Some never get accustomed to the noise, and these are rejected. In the course of a day or two tho average recruit begins to understand . that it bears a very close relation to his movements.-New York Sun. Dr. Holland'* A. ri rte?. After J. G. Holland's woman lecture in a New England town, where emanci pation had been embraced to a consider able extent, a young lady who was en gaged in the study of medicine said to him, "Doctor, what you say is very good for women who have husbands and chil dren, but what do you say to those o? us who have none?" "I say get them," answered the doc tor. Meaelee More Fatal Than Influons?. The mortality from measles exceeds anything that can thus far be directly attributed to influenza. It appears that over 13,000 deaths from measles occur annually in England and Wales, and the rate of mortality has greatly increased during the last decade. Why do we take no account of it? Because, 1 sup pose, measles is most fatal to infants, whereas influenza chiefly carries off the aged. We all of ns expect to grow old, but we can none of us hope to be young again. Yet the life of a healthy infant is of more vulue than that of a sexage narian who has not strength to combat the influenza microbe.-London Truth An Unique Tum-tummer.
