"When 1 was a youngster." said a Kentucky horse raiser to a Washington Star reporter the other day, "I lived in a highly respectable blue grass town with an old uncle and aunt, who were seeing to thc proper bringing up of their only and well beloved nephew. Among their possessions were two horses and a negro boy, who took care of them, and those horses and that boy were my especial delight. After my first winter in town, and when the weather began to soften in the spring, the boy and I were accustomed to ride the horses to a pond to water, which was perhaps three quarters of a mile from the stable, half of which distance was through tl>e town. It soon became our custom when the horses had finished drinking to let them go full tilt for home., and thc speed they attained was startling, so fast in fact, that we soon had to take to the alleys and run them to the stable that way. I suppose we had been keeping this up for three months, and the horses had got so that they would scarcely wait to drink before they wanted to be off, when one Sunday my uncle and aunt concluded they would go to meeting in the country-my uncle was a staid and severe deacon in the Presbyterian Church-and for a change they rode the horses instead of driving them. As luck would have it, they came back to town over a road that led by the pond where Jim and I watered the horses, and as it was about watering time as they passed, they stopped and let the horses drink. Of course, uncle and aun't had perfect confidence in their'critters,' and were not expecting any demonstrations, but as soon as those horses had taken a good, long pull at the water and lifted their heads to take a look around it seemed to occur to them all at once that that was the time to cut and run for the stable. "And they did. My eye, how they did. Down the road for the first quarter of a mile, past the houses of three deacons in opposite churches, with their families sitting out on their galleries in the cool of the evening; then on past the minister's house they went like the wind, my uncle doing al! he could to hold the beast and my aunt frightened out of her wits by the unexpectedness of it, doing all she could to hold herself on her horse's back. Uncle's hat flew off as ho turned into the first alley, or rather as the horse turned him into the alley, and four boys with three dogs got hold of it and came howling after. My aunt's horse always made his spurt at this point, and as her skirts flew at the mercy of the wind, he gave a wild plunge and dashed ahead of my uncle. As they sped up the alley people on the streets where the alleys crossed hurried out of the way and. gazed in awestruck wonder as the deacon and his good wife scurried along on clattering hoofs. The usual Sunday quiet had prevailed, and the noise of the racing steeds seemed to fill all the town, and people soon began to run out on the streets and inquire what was going on. At last the horses reached the stable, and there, without any trouble at all, they stopped and waited to be let in, as usual. I don't know what would have happened to me when my part, though wholly unintentional, in the affair, became known to my uncle, had it not been for my aunt, who had an eye to the ludicrous, and she got me off with only one application of the hickory, while the negro boy got twice as much. My uncle was not on pleasant terms with me for several months, however, because he was jollied about his horse race for a long time, and every fresh jar he would get on it would react upon me. I may say, in conclusion, though, that my aunt did not stand by me when he said that Jim and I would suffer severe pains and penalties if there were any more running of the horses. A Homesick Hippopotami:?.. During Bayard Taylor's visits to the zoological gardens in London he no ticed a hippopotamus which lay in its tank apparently oblivious of its sur roundings. Entering into conversation with the keeper one morning, he was told that the creature refused to eat, and was gradually starving itself to death. "I fancy it's homesick," ad ded the keeper. "He's a fine speci men, and it seems a pity we should lose him, but he's moped ever since the keeper who had charge of him on board the steamer left. He pays no attention to anything I say." Learning that the creature came from a part of Africa he had once vis ited, Mr. Taylor, on an impulse, lean ed forward and addressed it in a dia lect used by the hunters and keepers of that region. The animal lifted its head and the small eyes opened. Mr. Taylor repeated his remark.-when what does Mr. Hippo do but paddle slowly over to where he stood. Crossing to the other side of the tank, the experi ment was repeated with the-same re sult, the poor thing showing unmis takable signs of joy, even consenting to receive food from the hand of his new friend. Mr. Taylor paid several visits to the gardens, being always noticed by his African friend; finally, before leaving the city, he taught the keeper the few sentences he had been in the habit of addressing to the hippopota mus, and went his way. Two years later he was in London, and, curious to know the result, again paid his respects to his amphibious friend. To his surprise, the creature recognized his voice at once, and ex pressed his joy by paddling from side to side of his tank after his visit or. Bayard Taylor says it convinced him that even a hippopotamus may have affections, and tenacious ones at that, as well as a good memory. Northwestern Christian Advocate. Ran a Corpse Trust. LYXC?IB?RG,*VA., Feb. 20.-N. J. Farmer, sexton of the city's burying grounds, was arrested this afternoon and bailed for his appearance in the police court to auswer thc charge of unlawfully disinterring last night the body of Ella Jameison, the white wo man who committed suicide on Wed nesday by drowning. The woman was buried at the city's expense yesterday and last nignt the body was disinterred, packed in a bar rel and sent to the depot for shipment to the University of Virginia. The police authorities believed that Farmer had been engaged for some time in the practice of disinterring bodies for a money consideration and a careful watch was kept on the cem etery last night, with ?the result as stated. Farmer admitted that he had been shipping bodies to the Universi ty, but claims that he had a right to do so under thc law. Bockleng Arnica Salve.

It is Pilot, the bloodhound, and so many people go to sec him every day that it has been found necessary to set aside certain hours for the pur pose. The cause for all this admiration is the factthat Pilot has just proved to everybody that he is really worth more, in certain emergencies, than the entire police department of the town though in Rutland the police are few. Heretofore Pilot has been looked upon as a sort of nuisance, a worthless ex pense; but never did a greater change of sentiment take place. A year ago several prisoners escaped from thc house of correction, and Pilot was purchased by the State that he might track and assist in bringing back any one who in future broke jail. But nobody ran way, and naturally there was nothine 'or him to do. A few days ago, however, Bertha, the pretty 4-year-old daughter of John C. Putnam of the little settle ment of Mill village disappeared. All the neighbors joined in the search for her. Night and day the hunt contin ued, but not a trace of the little one could be discovered. The parents were in despair; it was feared that the child had been kidnapped. Finally the father, in desperation suggested that possibly Pilot could find some trace. Anxious to do anything that would in the least relieve the father's mind, the officials took thc dog to Mill vil lage. The dog was then given a tiny shoe that had been worn by the child the day before she disappeared. This he held in his mouth for a minute: then he dropped it and sniffed the air. He seemed puzzled, and thc knowing ones were beginning to remark that they knew the hound would not bc of any use. It really seemed as if the animal understood their words, for he sudden ly put his nose to the ground and was off like a shot, dragging his keepers afterhim. On he went, crossing roads, fields and timber stretches, until he reached Devil's camp, a point abouta mile be low Rutland, where there is a small mill stream. Here thc animal sud denly brought up at the edge of the water, gave one bark and refused to go farther. Then the men got to work. They procured hooks and poles, and the bcd of the stream was thoroughly search ed. All this time Pilot stood by the waterside, though attempts were made to drag him away. For the first time since he had been in the State he re fused to obey the voice of his keeper. Toward night the body of the missing child was found. As it was drawn to the shore Pilot sprang forward, took the slimy dress in his mouth, raising the child as tenderly as though it had been in its mother's arms, trotted back to the house, the long linc of searchers following. When once the animal had placed the body in the home of the unhappy parents, he walked to his keepers' side and was taken back to Rutland. But all of the people of that region honored the dog, and one of the chief mourners at the funeral was Pilot, who had a coach all to himself, his keeper sitting on the box with the dri ver.-Philadelphia Inqnircr. Ram's Horn Blasts. Young lions are often very lame. Getting the big head shrinks the heart. The fears we borrow are the hardest to drive away. Whenever the flesh is on the throne the devil is king. Unless you want to be poor, don't try to keep all you get. The man will always be busy who truly follows Christ. The devil has no better helper than a harmless-looking lie. It is harder to dine with some men than it is to fast alone. We are rich, not in what we have, but in what we cannot lose. Is there anything the devil can't make out of an envious man? Live to do good, and you will never tire of your employment. When you pray for a revival, don't go to church with a long face. The more men disappoint us, thc more we should have faith in God. When a little nan is lifted up, ev erybody finds out that he is little. The man who thinks he knows oth ers, is a gieat stranger to himself. The man who would be considered wise often turns out to be otherwise. Do away with a personal devil, and there is no need of a personal Christ. It is a mistake to call anything suc cess that is not according to God's plan. If you knew that to-morrow would be your last day how would you spend this? There are some very important les sons which can only be learned from a mistake. It is doubtful if there is any man who has not at some time in his life been a hypocrite. The man who has lived only for him self has wasted his time and robbed the world. There can be no true and abiding comfort and peace that is not rooted and grounded in faith. Tho man who has never used his eyes to consider the mercies of God. has used them to small purpose. Turning a mad dog loose isa trifling thing, compared to what the devil can do with a gossiping tongue. In the very same breath with which Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled," he also said "Believe." The man who refuses to walk in the light as God gives it, has only him self to blame for what happens in the dark. Do good asoften as you have oppor tunity, and the Lord will see to it that your time and talents are well employ ed. There was weeping at the grave of Lazarus, but everybody threw a stone at the place where Absalom was bur ied. - A queer family was unearthed near Lapaz. Ind., the other day. It consists of a family without a tooth. Jas. Leonard is tho father. He is past 50 years of aire and has passed this much of his life sound and happy without the assistance of a molar or even a baby tooth. None ever grew. Twenty years ago he married a woman who had as fine a set of teeth as could be found. She still possesses them. They had four children, all of whom are full grown and perfect-in regard to health, but who, like their father, never had a tooth in their head. Their gums, however, come down much further than is ordinarily the case and are as hard and firm as a bone. From Cripple Creek.

A few years ago he inherited a large for tune, and since then his time has been so occupied managing bis estates that it is impossible for him to continue his professional work. Not only has he taken in his shingle, but bc also dis courages the practice of calling bim "doctor,1' so that in his neighborhood the title has been generally dropped. However, every few days the irish maid-of-all-work, when she answers the doorbell, has toelplain that though the proprietor of the establishment is a duly graduated physician, he is not at present practicing his profession, and does not wish to respond to calls for his medical skill. It happened that one day there ap peared at the door a caller of a very diff?rant kind. He was the agent of some religious society, anxious rather to bleed others than to be bled them selves. So, naturally, he was eager to post himself as to the church rela tions of his proposed subject in order to make thc appeal more effectual. His first question began in the usual way : " Is-er-Mr. Hamniersleieh at home ?" "Sure an' he is, sorr." "Can you tell me whether or not he is a Christian ?" To Bridget this was something of a poser, but she rose supremely to the occasion with her accustomed answer: "Sure, an' he is, yer honor. But he's not practicing it lately." Christianity in China. A copy of an interesting tablet, con necting the early history of Christian ity with the ancient Empire of China, has been received by the Woman's College and placed in its rapidly grow ing Oriental collection. It is a "rub" made upon rice paper, seven feet and a half long by three feet wide, thus reproducing in exact ness the tablet recently found near Se-San-Foo, which was, fifteen hun dred years ago, the capital of thc Chi nesevEmpire. In the year 633 of the Christian era a priest of the Nestorian faith, an ear ly sect of Christianity widely popular in the East, arrived in China from Rome. This priest, whose name was Olopcen or Olueun, won the favor of the reign ing Emperor. Tai-Tsing, and the latter encouraged the spread of Christianity in his Empire, built churches and had Chinese believers ordained as Chris tian priests. The tablet records this early at tempt to Christianize China, part of it being in Chinese characters and part in Nestorian characters. There is given an abstract of Christian doc trine, an account of the coming of Olopeen, bringing sacred books and images, and the history of the church down to the year 780. There is also a recapitulation of these facts in eight syllabled verse written in 781. A Son's Lore. Professor Drummond might insert in a new edition of t:The Greatest Thing in the World" this touching story, told in the Contributor, of the winning power of love : A mother was arrested for intoxica tion and arraigned before the judge. "Seven dollars and sixty cents fine," said the judge, sternly. But the wo man had not a cent. Her 7-year-old boy said to his tiny sister : "Come on ; we've got to get that money or mam'll have to go to jail. Just wait. Mr. Judge, an' we'll get it!" The children hurried out of the courtroom, and, going from store to store, solicited contributions to "keep mam from going to jail," the boy promising to return the money as soon as he could earn it. Soon he came back, and, laying a handful of change on the desk, ex claimed : "There's two dollars, Mr. Judge, an' I can get no more now. I ain't as big as mam, an' I can't do as much work ; but if you'll just let me go to jail 'stead o' her, I'll stay longer to make up for it." The bystanders wiped their eyes and a policeman exclaimed : "Your mother sha'n't go to jail, my lad, if I have to pay the fine myself." "I wi.ll remit thc fine," said the judge. The mother in tears and clasping her boy, solemnly promised that she would lead a better life. Want Up on thc Cellar Door. A farmer of Cynthian township, says the Sidney, Ohio, Journal, came to towr one day this week to make a few purchases. It happened that he called at an establishment where an elevator is in use. In order to furnish the articles desired, it was necessary to go into an upper story, and the salesman said to his customer : "Just ;?et on, and we'll go up." The startled granger looked around, and said : "On where ?" He was. given the desired informa tion, and they started up. The up ward flight was evidently something new to the farmer, and he attested his appreciation of it by remarking : "This beats all nation, don't it?" The salesman smilingly remarked that he rather thought it did. In the meantime, a son of thc farmer became impatient, and came into the store room below, looking for him. The father, seeing his son stepped to the hatchway and said : "You can't, come up herc, son ; I came up on the cellar door, and it's up here yet !"

Jan 20,1897 30 :->m Sixty Pays in thc Air. French aeronauts are making active )roparations for a voyage to the polo by walloon in much the same manner as was jroposed last year by Andree. The aero lauts Godard and Surco?t' have decided inally to make the attempt. Thisjourney s to take place in the spring of 1898, and he preparations for the undertaking have ilready bvm started. An immemse bab oon is being constructed for them, and nil] be named "La France." It is to con ara 10,847 cubic meters, equal to almost 100,000 cubic feet of gas, audits circum ference around its widest part will be 2S0 feet. It will carry without trouble 20,000 pounds, and thus it will bo possible to lit )ut a balloon expedition consisting of joven men. These will include Godard is the commander, Surcouf as his mate, ;wo second aeronauts, so that two practi cal men will always be in charge of the balloon; an experienced Artic explorer, i meteorologist, and a physician and memist. The meteorologist is to be a ielegate of the Geographical society of France; the physician a navy-surgeon, to be selected by the minister of marine. Particular care is being taken in the -onstruction of the air-tight cover of the balloon in order to reduce the loss of gas during thejourney to a minimum. Twelve small balloons will be attached to the out side of the monster balloon and act as gasometers; that is, replace the actual loss Df gas in the big balloon continually, and in this way it is proposed to keep the balloon floating in the air for CO days. The inner arrangement will permit the balloon to retain its circular shape, even if a large quantity of gas should be lost. Godard made his calculations on the basis of striking a wind not exceeding four meters (13 feet) per second, so that the journey from Spitzbergen to the Behring Straits, a distance of over 2,000 miles, might be accomplished in less than 10 days. According to all authorities the winds in these regions ordinarily exceed the above figure and average almost double tho speed, so that a much faster voyage might be anticipated. A ballast of 13,000 pounds will enable tho aeronauts to reach great altitudes, even after a con siderable loss of gas. The two daring ex plorers hope to be able to exhibit their balloon at the Paris exposition of 1000, with the simple inscription, "Retour du Pole-Nord" (Returned from the North Pole.)-Philadelphia Record. A Home Thrust. Col. Robert G. G. Ingersoll has publicly apologized forBuicide and even advocated it. Ile did this about ono year ago, and was admonished that the result of his teaching might be disastrous. We do not know that the frequent casos of self slaughter which have happened since he spoke can be directly traced to his utter ances, but circumstantial evidence may demonstrate that he is not blameless. A few daj's ago, the Colonel's clerk, Robert J. Wilson, attempted to destroy his life with prussic acid. The New York Herald recounts the following tragedies which bring the Colonel face to lace with hit teachings: William Sanford Lawton, who was for several years a student in Col. Ingersoll' otlice, shot himself to death in Lincoln Park, Chicago, last Saturday. Norman S. Mussey, who had been the Colonel's chief clerk, took hisdife on Au gust ll, last. He jumpo! from a station of the Sixth avenue elevated railroad anc ran up the track toward an approaching train. He leaped from the track to the grounc when he lound that he was pursued by i brakeman. Both his legs were broken Ln the fall, and he died from his injuries i few days later. Mss Hattie Cooper, a third cousin o Col. Ingersoll, and her mother, Mrs. Se rab B. Cooper, were suffocated from coal gas in their home in San Francisco on Doooraber ll last. Miss Cooper had fre quently spoken to her mother of the time "when thoy could go togethor.*' She turned on the gas. Col Ingersoll learned ' oj their death for the first time last even ing. It may be that Colonel Ingersoll takes these cases with unconcern and will not be disturbed by thom. He may have reason to feel somewhat disturbed in mind. - A lady attended the celebration in Boston of the one hundred and sixtieth anniversary of the birth of Thomas Paine, and listened patiently for au hour to speeches eulogizing his memory and belittling Christianity, but when tiually a speaker counselled the company to teach their children to become free thinkers she arose and quietly but emphatically said : "Mr. President, I should like to say that when I give up my religion and my children it will be for something very much better than anything you have offered to-day." Then she walked out, and for a full minute there was silence.
