THE WILD MUSTANG.
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HE WAS
ONCE A TERRIBLE PEST.

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. The United States steam
ship Pennsylvaina, built about 1888 and
supposed at tbe time to be one of the
largest warships ever launched, waa 130
feet long and 58 broad. She carried 830
gun* and towered aloft with five decks,
iler coppljniot §f men was 1,400.
THE YOUNG QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her Majeaty’e Actions on Being Notified of
the KlngS Demise.
William IV was dead. 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.

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.
