A new and very simple method of training vi cious horses was exhibited in Philadel phia recently, and the manner in which some of the wildest horses were sub dued was astonishing. The first trial was that of a kicking or "bnekinu" inare, which her owner said Lad allow td no rider on h r back for a period of at least five years. She became tame iu about as many minutes, and allowed herself to le riden about wt'hout a sin of her former wilduess. The means by which the result was accompli -led was by a piece ot litht r po which was pass ed around the rr.-i.t jaw of the marej :st abtve the teeth, cio-si d in her month and thus secure l back of her neck. It was claimed that no horse w ill kick or jump when thus secured, r.r:d th.at a horse, after receiving the trer.ti..ent a few tini'-s, will abandon hi.s ;ci"us ways forevf r. A veiy siT.j le method w,n also shown by wbkh a kicking horse could be shod. It consisted in connecting the animal's head and tail by means of a rope, fastened to thn tail and then to the bit. and then drawn tightly enoneJi to incline the animal's head to one side. This, it is claimed, makes : absolutely impossible for the horse t j Lick on the si h of the rope. A.t the same exhibition a horse, which 'or years haI to he. honnd on the ground to be shod, suffered the bhtcksir.it h to operate on hin without nUvtupting to kick while secured in 'the manner des cribed. TnK old Harrison p ar tree hes nr;n blossomed. If was planted in loTO ly a mend'er of the Harrison family. Ii standrfon tl i-Vouth siih-of .N'ewt on t reek, eaat of the West Jersey Railroad crossing.

ATTACniNU A MUIJB. Deputy Sheriff Cobb, of Americus, Geor gia, undertook to levy on Charles Mansion's mule. The mule was a notoriously hard kicker ; but Mansion offered to hold him alongside a fence, from which the officer could get on his back. Just as this manoeu vre was almost accomplished, the beast threw Cobb by a vicious plunge and kicked him frightfully. Mansion is now tinder ar rest on a charge of obstructing the law by tickling the mule in the nose with a straw, just at the critical juncture. But tho mule is still unseized. As riches and favor forsake a man, we discover him to be a fool ; but nobody conld find it out in his prosperity. La Dm y ere. Among mortals, second thoughts are the wisest. WILLIAM A.

READE. AHUKiN KY-AT-LAW, tuKNSBCRo, Pa. As" Office on Centre street. The fan is of Tery ancient partem. Those who have traced its history state that the papyrus was one of the first plants used In making fans. In ancient Greece the first fans were made of branches of myrtle, acacia and plane-tree. It was not nntil the fifth century. B. C, that the peacoek was known in Greece, and from this epoch dates the nse among Grecian ladies of the pea cock's tail as a new and elegant kind of fan. As the fan-makers' art extended, the use of feathers alone came to be discarded, as they were found too pliable, aud the idea was conceived of placing between each pair of feathers a thin strip of wood. Fans are often mentioned in Iastin authors. Plantus refers to the fiabelUferra, or female slaves, who carried parasols and fans to shade anil drive away flies from their mistresses. Fans of peacocks' feathers remained In fashion through the middle ages up to the seventeenth century, not only in Italy, but in England and France. Fans of ostrich feathers came into favor gradually, excluding those of peacocks' feathers, and such fans appear in Titian's pictures. Leaves of palm-trees, reeds and odoriferous woods are among the sub stances of which fans are now made in for eign countries. Since the fan has come to be regarded as an almost indispensable adjunct to the feminine toilet, an accredited history of its origin may not prove uninteresting to the eex who handle it so adroitly. The Chinese affirm that Kan-si, the bean, tif ill daughter of oue of tho mandarins, found the mask which Celestial etiquette re quires to be worn in publio by ladies very oppressive, as the evening was warm, but her ingenuity was eqTml to the occasion. She untied her mask aud moved it so rap idly back and forth before her face that it was impossible to distinguish her features, while her beauty was enhanced in the eyes of all the beholders by the tantalizing glimpses afforded by the coquettish manoeu vre. In a moment a thousand fair Celestials, appreciating her courage and coquetry, imi tated her example, and a thousand masks were put in motion before a thousand pretty faces by a thousand pretty hands. The in genious Chinese caught the idea, aud by the next feast of lanterns, fans were substituted for masks. A lovely fan, the finest in France, which made a breeze lust summer in Paris, was ordered and paid for by the wife of a New York millionaire. It was painted by Edward de Beaumont, (at a cost of $ 800), and has the monogram of the owner set in dia monds on one of the ivory sticks. Two large diamonds head the ends of the rivets. Price, $1,000. In a collection of fans in London is one made by a lady of Normandy. The beauti ful lace-work is woven of her golden hair, and the sticks are inlaid with delicate pol ished crescents made of her finger-nails. Fans are used in Japan as we use albums. riuli. Sat. Sight. KtLlt'S FUl'MD IN A KOCNIS TOWER. A Roman tower discovered in the Sublon qnnrries iu Lorraine has been partly unbo ried and searched to the depth of about five metres. The walls are in a good state of preservation, being constructed of white stne and held together by a fine red ce iiieni harder than the stoue i tot If. A num ber of interesting relies have been found among these ruins. Outside the tower is some fino sand, to a depth of lm. 50o., while inside a layer of dark earth contained some large pieces of tde aud bricks of rather extraordinary dimensions. A "The Romans paid taxes according to the number of their tiles, they deemed it wise to have them made as large as was possible, and these specimens measure from 0m. 15 to 0m. 40 in leugth, and Om. 3 to Oui. 10 in thick ness. They are in splendid condition, be ing of a bright red color, and having a metallic sound which indicates the" excel lence of their manufacture. The Iiomans exposed their tiles to the air, allowing them to dry before placing them in the ovens, where they were subjected to the highest heat, which, however, was only reached La slow and regularly progressive stages. France was well wooded during the Roman epoch, and for that reason the manufacture of tiles and bricks presented no difficulties. A nunibor of statuettes and coins and in scriptions to pagan deities have been brought to light, and they tend to show that some of these relics belonged to the legion stationed in Lorraine from the year 50 to 300 of the Christian era. The tower is vaulted, and is supported on masonry in the form of four arches. Tlie American Ktgister, of Paru. YIOLATINO A PATENT. It will be sad news to many a prudent housewife to learn that every time she pieks a hole in an egg with a pin she is violating the patent of an American inventor, but such is the case. Years ago an inventive genius devoted himself to discovering a method to prevent eggs from cracking dur. ing the process of boiling. He solved the problem by priekinq a pin-hole in one end of the eV;,, through w'uica the air in the shell was allowed to escape, a..d this pin-hole he duly patented according to law. Precisely how he managed to collect his royalty is mystery, but the fact remains that he has a legal claim for royalty on every pin-hols made in an egg before boiling. We are all liable to commit blunders, bo, it is only the wise who profit by them. Idle curiosity has just such brains as tht .Tonng.crow and the jackdaw.
