Tba animal atood folly ah teen band* high,* waa powerfully bnilt m a Flemish draught bora*, and bad a coat that glistened like aatin. Its white tail swept the sawdust in the ring, and its bead and neck were aa clean out and graceful as n swan’s. “Whoa, there I Whoa, my beauty I” Then he approached and stroked the creature's neck, while it whinnied softly and pawed the sawdust with its off fore foot The man waa Hiram Marks, ring master with John Robinson’s show, and this was his school of horses. “I am just giving this stallion his les son, now,” he said. “He is a beginner, fairly well advanced in the 'First Read er,’ ye may say. I advanced him from the 'Primer' last week, and I find that he has so much intelligence that it is pretty clear I will be able to carry him through the High School and graduate him as a No. 1 trick horse. When he came to me b* had been handled enough to l>ear the girth and the bit. I satisfied my self that he was a beauty and had a cer tain degree of intelligence before I be gan to handle him, us it is time thrown away to edneate an ungainly horse or one that la not exceedingly bright. I put a girth on him, slipped a bit into Ids mouth, put the bridle over bis head fastened the over-chock and side lines to hia girth, aid led him into the ring. The rin£, aa you see, is a regular circus ring, with raised circumference and a centre pole. I buckled this lunge onrd into the ring at hia bit, and there he was, ready to take bis first lesson. - “The first thing to teach him is to go around the outer edge of the ring, in- stead of running across it, us it is hia fint impulse. By threatening him with the whip, I keep him from the centre of the ring, and by pulling on the lunge cord I hold him from going too far and olimbing the embankment. In the course of a week or two, by working twice a day, any horse can learn to lope or gallop about tlte ring, either way, as commanded. Have yon ever noticed that all circus riders ride oronnd the ring from right tp left? No? Well, they do. An Italian by the name of Jumaruy was the only rider I ever knew who rode from left U> right. “After this stallion had learned to go around the ring when commanded, I started in to teach him to come to me at a motion of the whip. I have reached that stage now. You can see for yoar- self how I go ulxurt it.” He cracked the whip and the lieauti- ful horse set off on a lope only to stop short when the whip crocked again. “Oome,” said the trainer, pulling gent]y on the lunge cord ami motioning with the whip handle. There was a second pause, and then the steady strain of the cord told the animal' what waa wanted, and he walked slowly to ward his master. When ho had reached the desired point au apple and a caress were given him, and then the entire act was repeated. “With plenty of apples and candy the t%ht kind of a horse can lie taught any thing. No, they neither need nor got any whipping at all while their edu cation is in progress. They may be tapped occasionally with the whip handle or brushed with the lash, but the main use of the whip is to tell them when to move by its cracking, and to tell them bow to move by its motions. Tha principal signals [to a horse are made with the whip handle; when the voice is naed it is done more to begnilo the au dience than to enlighten the horse. For instance, when I say ‘Como,’ I move my whip in a certain manner, and the horse oomes. Without the motion of the whip he would not understand me, while with out the word ‘oome’ my wants would be perfectly clear to him, and he would obey by the whip alone. r- — II ip tie Me, little blaak eyes glittered like a anake’a, I expected titrable, but North knew hia buaineaa, and the net of us coo ten ted ourselves with looking on. I had turned my heedto say someth try to am nAjhe boys when I beard a shrfck. Iwhpaled around, and then waa North whirling around that stallion’s head aa a boy whirls a basket The beast had caught him with its teeth by one wrist, and aftee a oowpla ef whirls it sent him ecash ing through the ropes m the other wide of the ring. Hia wrist waa broken, and he ia crippled to this day. No, I thank yon; no vicious stallion for me. “Now, in teaching an animal to pick up a handkerchief, for instance, let me show you how the apple works. That act is pntty well along—in the 'Sixth Reader,’ say; but my beginner here will do it for you this onoe.” The trainer broke a small russet apple in two pieces, and wrapped one of the pieces in hia handkerchief. This he placed to the hone’s nose long enough for it to get the scent of the apple, and then, walking to the other aide of ring, he placed the handkerchief apple together on the sawdust there. The alert animal watched him like a oat, and no sooner waa the handkerchief on tho ground than he trotted to it, picked it qp, and shoot it until the apple be came disrtigaged from its folds. “Horses are taught to fire pistols in l*recisely the same way. An apple is fastened te the end of a line attached to a pistol’s trigger. The animal tags at the line to get the apple, and fires the charge. In the course of time the apple is discontinued; but tugging at the line has Income second nature with the horse, and he pulls it as a matter of course. Dynamite In Vienna. During the last few weeks the Vienna police have made the discovery that there muatbe a quantity of dynamite and other explosives in the hands jf the Austrian anarchists not inferior to that discovered in London. Borne i>ortion of this it is conjectured, has been fabri cated in Vienna, wnue tne rest oomes from America via Hwitxerland, which is kept until wanted by the anarchists in Austria or in other portions of Europe, perhaps even in Loudon, so that it would not be amiss for the English police to ex tend their observation to the imports from all Continental ports. Concerning the manufacture of these explosives, the police claim to have discovered that dur ing last antnmn regular lectures were delivered in the workmen’s quarters on the best methods of making and safely storing dynamite, nitro-glvcerine and other explosives. On receiving this in telligence the detectives made a raid on certain houses and discovered three lalioratorieg completely fitted with all the articles necessary for the fabrication of explosives, together with large quan tities of dynamite in different forms of nitro-glyoerine and of its components— sulphuric acid, nitric acid, glycerine ami kaolin. The police are convinced that mtiuy similar laboraUffies exist, atid ■ therefore the Vienna press has l>eeu or dered to publish nothing on the subject. Recently a workman was caught endeav oring to smuggle a basketful of small ex plosive bombe from a suburb into Vienna, the contents of tha baaksk b»>' ing detected by an exciseman searehtng for spirits. These small dynmni^ grenades, all of Vienna make, arc picked up in the streets almost daily on the tramlines, bat hitherto without having done damage, the makers being proba bly not sufficiently skilled. A Mysterious Fire. hones that have bean broken to the vofei, and that happened only by acci- denl When Dan began with him the nag had perfectly good eyes, and was broken to the motion of the whip, but while the training was in progress it went stone blind. It was such a beautiful and intelligent creature that Mr. Rice did not want to give it up, and, reasoning that if a cart horse can be taught to ‘gee’ and ‘haw’ by sound, his bone oould be taught other things in the —me way, he went to work and broke th*.animal over again to the voice. For the set done by this blind horse and its ■—to,’ Dan Rice naed to get $1,000 every week that he exhibited them. The fig- uree are not exaggerated.

In a room with a southern exposure smoke was seen to be rising from a table covered with a woolen cloth on which stood an ink-well sup ported on four glass spheres. Upon in vestigation it waa found that these spheres, acting as burning glasses, had focused the rays of the sun so strongly as to scorch the cloth badly in several places. Fish globes, glass vases and paper weights have been known to act In Ifke manner, and a correspondent of a French newspaper the other day re ported a case where a fire was started by the focal ixation of the sun’s rays in a globe of gold fish. The Pastor’s Story. A Boston pastor, who enlivens bis Fri day evening talks with anecdotes, is so fond of a joke that he would rather tell one at his own expense than not tell one at all. This ia hia latest: “I waa writing by my study window, and a little Irish child was busying him self by throwing beans at the window. Losing all impatience, I rushed out of the bouse, determined to frighten the boy. It hspjpened that his mother was coming, after him at tha same moment, and we met by his aide. I stormed at the child, and then, aa the mother seemed excessively stupid, I gave her a piece of my mind. Finally, aa a grand and overwhelming conclusion to my •ooldtng, I said: *A little discipline now with your children will save you much pain, if not disgrace, in the future. Think of that, tnadam; that is, if you ever do think.' Think, kit?’ she re plied; 1 think if you’d go book to your bedroom and wipe the ink afi av yer nose you’d be prettier, even if you didn’t make so much av a ups a Mon.* It was not a soft answer, but ithad the effect of turning away wrath. ” To novn truth Cor eakek the prinoipel pert of human peHkeriou, and Tun stones, a half the and sixty tons.

Instead at walking leisurely, — was my-wont, I ran to the offioe as fast as I oould, and heard — I entered : 'Hold Na 4 at your station until special going north passes.’ “Involuntarily I glanced ont of the window and saw the train I was ordered to hold disappearing around a curve a short distance away. I waa not told at what time the special left the station soath, which wu only ten miles sway, and I saw in my mind's eye the two trains rapidly approaching each other, quickly followed by a crash, screams of pain and flying debris. Suddenly I re membered, while tearing my hair and cursing my negligence, that No. 4 had to stop at a wood-yard two miles down the road to take on fuel. That would take a matter of five minutes, and if means elf oonveyaaoe were at hand I might overtake it and avert a disaster.
