Bettises Wsrs CwwspelUtl tn Take AeMvs | masaasB Wmr Mtf nsrlthig feslvss aiMl DsspeMrte Rattles—Hnw Iks j CsTBal Was Mads. The (onthern portion of tho great San Joaqnin ralley was overran in the early days by a species of wild hone known m the mnetang, or Mexican wild horse. They were to be seen in droves, not in- freqnently no mitering several hnndred each. They were too small, "weedy” and generally worthless for the most part to be of any value to the aettlers. On the contrary, they existed in each Bnmbera as to conatitute an annoyance and Injury to the aettlera engaged in agricnltnre. In a aingle night a hand of wild horaea would aweep down upon the cultivated fields and literally destroy the crop# which it bad taken montha of bard labor to produce. The pioneers bad ample cause to wage war upon these animals. They were undoubtedly a pest and aource of danger much to be dread ed. Moreover, whenever a band of wild borsee came down into tho settlements, they would lure away with them tb« domestic horses, leaving the aettlera helpless. These depredations were so frequent that, aa a matter of self protection, the pioneer farmers and stockmen of theae valleys ware compelled to take active aaeaaurea. They would inaugurate large hunting parties, or "drivee,” in order the better and more etlectnally to exter minate these animals. The early methods lined In this coun try in hnnting the wild horse were pe culiar. W^ien a hunt had been deter mined upon and a favorable locality se lected, the hunters would erect two lines of fence, starting them about four feet apart and continuing parallel for some distance, then diverging until the ter- mlnals were several hnndred yards apart. These fences were strong and high enough at the apex of the triangle to securely restrain the wild horses from breaking them down when crowded Into the Inclosnre. The fence completed, the hunters, all well mounted, would etart out to locate a band of the troublesome mustangs. When the objects of their search were sighted, the hunters grouped together, and the order of the "drive" web decided upon. One of the party started out on the trail of the band of wild borsee, cloee enongh to k.ep them constantly moving. This did not re quire as muck exertion as might be sup posed, u the wild animals would dual) off at full speed, but would seldom con tinue any great distance in a straight line, usually turning and circling ao that the “driver” could, by "cutting the angles, ”' keep the band moving without having to travel half the dis tance coveted by the wild hones. In two houn or so the first "driver" would be relieved by a fresh man and horse, the whole party thus taking tnrne at keeping the wild horses on the move. The main object was to so fatigue the £ me as to wear out the animals, ren- rife tbslr eaptarn comparatively easy. Tlaa hear after beur the wild horses weald have a ttreleee pursuer hanging ea feerr trail. Turn which way they weold, be their pace swift or slow, the •olltary horseman ever followed them ae faithfully as their shadows. Might brought them no rest, as the "drives" were made daring the fall of the moon. On the second day the driven would be kept on duty for short intervals, so that they might press the now jaded wild animals. All of the pursuers would now assemble, and one after another turn the flight of the wild animals until they woeld have them running in a cir cle, the pntsuen taking stations at reg ular distances. Then began the final "roundup." One man would dash aft er the band and chase them to his near est companion in that direction, when that man would drive them as rapidly aa possible to the next, and so on around the circle, each driver having a shorter and still shorter distance to rid», nntM the band had completed the entire cir cle. Steadily the circles were lessened, and the horses were worked toward the opea space between the onter lines of the corral. If there were any choice animala In the band and any one desired to capture them, this would be hie opportunity. It vfaa the most interesting period of the jlrive. The striking, kicking, rearing, plunging, squealing and biting of the wild horse when first laseoed are de- gprlbed by those who have witnessed such scenes as moat exciting. After one lasso had been successfully cast a sec ond is thrown about the neck of the ani mal, and the laasoe were then drawn in oauueite directions, holding the strag gling captive securely between Its two captors. By this means it weald be finally forced into submission. This work completed, the band would be rapidly forced into tbe incloeure, the drivers closing up the rear aud urging tbe wearied animals into tbe corral un til they were crowded compactly to gether, with no hope of escape except through the narrow lane, where certain death awaited them. Men aimed with strong speais stood on each side of this narrow opening, and as the animals were crowded through it received its coup de grace. Tbe conditions of tbe conntry have changed vastly. Tbe antelope and the elk have gone, tbe wild cattle have been forced into tbe monntains, and only a few of them remain even there. This la also trje of tbe wild hone. Tbe wild horse, however, is not as yet wholly ex tinct in California. Those now found in this state are, so far as I bare been able to learn, confined to the regions of Mount Whitney and Monnt William son.—San Francisco Chronicle. HUMAN DEFECTIVES. Method* of Treatment Huggeeted For Cer tain Clneeee of Public Dependent*. Dr. James W. Walk, in a lectors on "Defectives” before the University of Pennsylvania, defined tbe defectives as those members of society baring serious mental or physical defects, either con genital or acquired. This group com prised six classes—first, tbe blind; sec ond, tbe deaf mutes; third, insane; fonrtb, tbe feeble minded, or idiots; fitth, tbe inebriates—where drunken- Bess has become a disease—and sixth, tbe epileptics. Dr. Walk took up each of these class es and stated what he believed to be the best way to deal with them. Of tbe blind and deaf he said: "Blind, deaf and feeble minded children bare as much claim to an education as others, and since tbeir defects pierent them fiom receiving it in tbe ordinary pnblic schools it is only just that they should be instructed in schools especially adapt ed to their condition. Such schools are also a moat economical Investment of public money, for by means of tbe train ing they g ivs the great majority of tbe blind and deaf mutes become self sup- pert'ina in adult life. "TtAlt blind children for self support it Is necessary that tbeir discipline while at school should be rigid, so as to Impart thoroughness in the practice of the few industries, such as weaving and mnsic, which are open to them. The managers of the best schools for tbe blind now insist upon this rigid train ing, and in this way sometimes incur unpopularity among those who do not understand their leal motive. "For those of tbe adult blind who cannot maintain themselves in open competition with normal workmen there should be founded In each state industrial bomea where they may reside and labor, the deficiency in tbeir earn ing being supplied by benevolence. Where such homes are well conducted they are nearly self supporting. "Under the stimulus of tbe popular Interest excited by the eloquent ad- dreeaes of the great philanthropist, Doro thea Dix, Pennsylvania many years ago undertook to make adequate provision far the insane at public expense. Tbe first institution tor their care in tbe commonwealth waa the insane depart ment of the old Pennsylvania hospital. We have now many asylums far these people, but not enough yet to accommo date them all. Asyluma should bo ao regulated that the imnatea can work and be self supporting." Dr. Walk thought that idiots, or tbe feeble minded, should not be permitted to marry. Of epileptica be thonght tbe same, as their defects are hereditary. Inebriates abould be confined for a long period, during which they would be forced to abstain totally. This treat ment, he said, results often in perma nent cure.—Philadelphia Press. The Man In the Moon. I According to Pratorius, the man In the moon is tbe Patriarch Isaac, carry ing tbe bundle of eticka which were to lie lighted to sacrifice his own body on the mountain top. Dante believes him to be Cain, carrying a bundle of thorns, tbe meanest offering bis lands afforded, as a present to God. In Iceland the peo ple claim that they can aee the face of Adam in the moon and that of Eve in the san. Among tbe Friebnrgere there is a superstition which says that the maras and spota on tbe moon's face are the outlines of the traitor, Jndaa Iscar iot, holding his band over his face while sneexing jnat prior to hanging himself. Thia last belief accords with tbe old Frankish legend, which says that there waa no spot on Lana’s bright face nntil after the time of the crucifixion of Christ. Still another story tells ns that in tbe time of tbe creation God threw an offending angel against the face of the moon, whi le another is to tbe effect that tbe moon witnessed the creation of Adam and Eve and took an impress of their features on his surface, intending to people hie own land with similar be ings. When bs assayed to teuitate God’s works, bs made nethlng hot a slimy ser pent, which since that day hae contin ued to feld sad unfold its mighty coils la full view of the deecendanta of tbe God created beings.—St. Lonie Repub lic. Millepede. The little creature which possesses the distinction of having more legs than any other animal is that which belongs to tbe family of insects known as mille- peds, or thousand footed. There are several different species of these, hot they all poaeem the common character istic of having segmented bodies, each segment of which is provided with its own pair of feet. These ere set so close ly along the body as to resemble hairs, and when they move one after another with perfect regularity the effect is pre cisely the tame on a small scale as that of a field of oats undulating nnder tbe influence of the wind. Some species of nUlenede have aa many aa 850 separate and distinct legs. They are all per fectly harmless, unlike tbe centip^ls, which frequently have the power of in flicting poisonous wonnds.—Brooklyn Eagle. The Old aed the New. Powerful and large as are the great est of modern United States warships, they are all of low stature compared with the towering structures of #0 or 70 yean ago.

Tbe arch bishop of Csnteibury and Lord Conyug- ham were dispatched to inform tbe Princess Victoria of tbe fact. It was a warm night in Jane. Tbe princess was sleeping in her mother's room, her cus tom fiom childhood, aud bad to be sum moned ont of ber sleep. Tbe messen ger* awaited her in the long, nnlofty room, sepaiated only by folding doors from that wbieb was inhabited by tbe Duchess of Kent and ber daughter. Tbe yonng girl entered alone, in her night dress. with some louse wrap thrown hastily about ber. The moment she was addressed as "Your majesty" she pnt ont her hand, intimating that tbe lords who addressed her were to kisa it and thereby do homage. Her schooling and bsr instincts were admirable tiuin tbe first. Sell possession combined with perfect modesty came naturally to her. A few hours later, at 11 o’clock in the morning, tbs child qneen met ber council. In the corridor at Windsor there is a picture which commemorates the event. Mover, it bus been said by an eyewitness, was anything like tbe first impression she produced or tbe chorus of praise and admiration which was raised about ber manner and be havior, ceitainly not without justice. Her extreme youth and inexperience and the ignorance of tbe world concern ing ber—for she bad lived in complete seclusion—excited interest and curioe- ity. Asked whether she would enter the room accompanied by the great officers of state, she said sba would come in alone. Accordingly when all tbe lords of tbe privy conncil were assembled the folding doors were thrown open, and the queen entered, quite plainly dressed and in mourning, and took her seat for the first time, a young girl among a crowd of men, including al the most famous and powsrful of ber subjecta. She bowed and read her speech, handed to hei by the prime minister, Lord Mel bourne, in a clear and firm voice and than took the oath for the security of the Church of Scotland. Immediately the privy councilors were sworn, the royal Dukes of Cum berland and Snssex first by themselves. It was observed that as these two old men, her ancles, knelt before her, swear ing allegiance, she blushed up to the eyes, as if she felt the contrast between tbeir civil and natural relations. Her manner was very graceful and engag ing, and she kissed them both, and ris ing from ber chair moved toward the Duke of Sussex, who was too infirm to reach her.—Fortnightly Review. Bores. The great secret of boredom is to be found in two leading qualifications. A bore mnst be nnable to find amusement in himself, aud bo must also be unable to find amusement in any one else. He mnst depend for bis amusement neither on his own mind nor on tbe minds of bis friends, but simply on tbe gratifica tion which it is to him to give a special direction, or at least to suppose that he gives a special direction—for he is a creature of the most nnlimited credul ity in the art of magnifying bis own in fluence—to the minds of his friends. He is in despair nnlees be can imagine himself a person of influence, and un luckily he can never imagine himself a person of Influence—for he is a man of very limited imaginative {lower—unless he is taking overt steps to convince somebody of something, whether it be of some technical doctrine like Dngald Dalgetty'a strategic principle, or simply of his own importance, or even of the importance of his patrons, like Mr. Col lins in "Pride and Prejudice. ” To be a first rate bore you most have no re sources in yourself and no resources in your friends, bnt must depend for your satisfactions on the real or fancied power of making your friends either think or do wbat they would otbei wise not think or do.—London Spectator. Hie Point of View. An odd illustration ones given Emer- son, the philosopher, of the fact that the laws of disease are as beautiful as tbe laws of health is repotted in his lecture on "The Comic.” "I was hastening," he says, "to visit an old and honored friend, who I was informed was in a dying condition, when I met hia physician, who accosted me in great spirits. " ‘And how is my friend, the rever end doctor?’ 1 inquired. " ’Oh, I saw him thia morning. It is the most correct apoplexy I have ever seen—face and hands livid, breathing stertorous, *11 the symptoms perfect.’ And be rnbbed his hands with delight, for in the country we cannot find every day a case that agrees with the diagnosis of the hooka.”—Youth'■ Companion. A Remarkable Diary. A man who died in Berlin. Rensselaer county, at the age of 73 left a record which he began when 18 years old and conttaned for 58 years. The book, filled with methodical entries, shows that in these 58 years the man had smoked 538,- 715 cigars, of which he received 48,038 as presents, while for the remaining 585,088 he paid abont $10,488. In 53 years, according to hia bookkeeping, ho bad drunk 38,786 glasses of beer and 86,081 glasses of spirits, for all of which he spent $5,350. The diary closes with these wordi: "I have tried all things. 1 have seen many. 1 have accomplished nothing."—Albany Express. WANTED!

THE “CALIGRAPH.” 4-++++4-+-H-+++++++++++++++——— It is now Thirteen years since the “Caligraph” Typewriter .was first put upon the mar ket and in all that time has responded faithfully to what is required of a first-class writing machine. The Caligraph is recognized everywhere as the most simple and most durable typewriter. It is easily learned, does beautiful work, and will last a decade, if properly cared for. In speed contests it has repeatedly taken first place and in telegraphic work has nevei been excelled. For manifold work it has no superior. With interchangable parts the Caligraph is well nigh indestructible. The expe rience of business men, ministers, telegraphers, short hand schools and government departments all go to prove that the Caligraph is without a peer.
