A S7'HANsr. HOUSEHOLD 1M3T.
A Shetland 1'otiv tinjovs Tlint Unique
.Distinction in South llctid.
Bllllo Johnson Is the only pony in tho
world who Is a household pet. dlllie la
an Imported Shetland pony which Mr.
Henry D. Johnson, of South Bend, Intl..
bought fifteen years ago for his son
Harry, when tli'o latter was a baby.
BiUle now boasts of seventeen years,
but he Is as frolicsome ns a coll.
Ho has all the privileges usually en
joyed by a favorite hound, evcept that
he has never wanned himself ut the
fireside or slept on tho spare bed. But
rlllle comes Into the house prancing
gayly up seven pahs of stairs, tho
click of hla small hoofs being like hall
on n garret roof.
Naturally he Is the banner member
of the circus troupe which holds high
carnlv.il In the children's bed room. It
Is their chief recreation In stormy
weather, and the pony, dogs, cats, pig
eons and babies furnish a fascinating
programme.
As Blllle is only fotty-elght Inches
Illicit, he easily stands or sits on an or
dinary chair, with his front feet dangl
ing against bis breast like tin. hands of
lackadaisical lady. At. the word of
command he shakes hands, kisses his
master and plays tho corpse to perfec
tion. When the babies .are In tho
basket saddle lie steps softly, evident
ly appreciating the helplessness of his
precious load. But when the older
boys get upon his back he Jumps.klcks
and frolics like a stlff-leggod bronco,
enjoying the fun as keenly as his
rider. He readily becomes the founda
tion of an animal pyramid, lying flat
on the grcund, while Sir Eldrul, a
splendid St. Bernard, lies atop him.
The cap stones are Penny and Dpttv,
Uo tiny blooded black and tans,
weighing twenty-six ounces each. Bll
lle and Sir Eldred sleep In the same
stall, and when turned out In the pas
ture the two frolic together like play
ful puppies.
Mr. Johnson lias a passion for pets,
and raised the famous St. Bernard,
Major McKlnley. the largest dog ever
known, which was owned by General
Joseph Tonvnee, of Chicago. lie keeps
a large flock of homing pigeons, some
of which have flown five hundred
miles.
During Mrs. Johnson's recent Illness
in a Chicago hospital two of the pig
eons, wore kept busy bringing mes
sages from the Invalid, They made the
flight of eighty-six miles In an hour
nnd llfteen minutes. When Mr. John
son first took the pair to Chicago the
male bird was five and a half hours re
turning home, and his mate only a lit
tle over an hour, wh'lch was considered
stranne, ns he was the faster bird. Mr.
Johnson watched him the next time he
wns set free and raw him circle for
about ten miles and then come back to
a neighboring chimney and rim his
head up and down as birds do when
looking for something. Mr. Johnson
then knew the bird was waiting for his
companion. Mr. Johnson loosened her
nnd she took a straight line for the
chimney, and they flew Joyously nway
together, showing that the loyal fel
low waited for her on the previous
Journey.
Mr. Johnson's sons are away nt
school, and have Ix cage of plseons
with them. It Is a very sweet and
sc-iitlmental fashion of sending letters,
artl although Mr. Johnson's private
messengers distance Uncle Sam In
speed, they do not pose as competitors
In the United States mall service.

OBSERVATIONS
BY
OPHIUCUS
A Chapter on the 'Mysterious
Significance of Playing:
Cards and an Astrological
View of the Seven Ages
of Man.
Nearly eerv person must .it some
time or other have oxrorlenccd the sin
gulir effects which result from the vn
rlous dispositions of the catds.elther by
chance or strict observation, and It
may afford nome clue to the reason
why a pack of cards should bo chosen
r.h a medium for fortune tslllng rttitl
divination. U Is gonr,illv believed
that cards wore Invented to amuse one
of the early kings of the line of Boui
bon, but this scemii to be wholly er
roneous. Who the petMiii wus who
Invented thesu Instruments of nm.ue
nieiit Is not known, neither can we
tell In what ngc tliev wore Invented,
ns not the least record of their origin
can be found. Put. our knowledge Is
limited to the country from whence
they came namely, Egypt. By exam
ining the cards they will be found to
consist of two colors led and black,
which answer to thu two equinoxes,
rles nnd Libra. Tne suits are four,
Cardinal polntr of tho Zodiac nnd the
four seasons, noilng, gummar, autumn
nnd winter. The enihlims of the suits
foimally were, and still are In Spain
for the Diamond, it was a rose, the
emblem of pprlnt-; the Club, n trefoil,
the i-mbjcm of sunnier; the Spade, an
ncorn, tlie emblem of uiiltimn; and the
Heatr, ;i enp-a co'nuopl:', the horn of
plenty, the emblem of winter. The
twelve court cards answer to the
twelve months nnd also the twelve
signs (if the i'odlnc Aries, Taurus,
Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Vlrtfo, Libra,
Scorpio, Saggllti'iiil'', Caprlcornus,
Aquarius, and Pisces. The fifty-two
cards correspond to the number of
weeks In a year: (be thirteen cards In
each suit to the number of weeks In n
Lunar quart i The aggregate of the
Pips, calculated In the following man
ner, correspond to the number of days
In a year:
Number of pips In each suit r.."
Number of sult.-s In a pack 4
Number of pips In I'll the suits 220
Number of court ear.lrt 12
Couit cards multlplle 1 by 10 120
Number of cards In each suit 13
Days 3Cr.
From this It can bo plainly scon that
a .pack of cards were used bv the an
cients to foretell and predict events,
such as war, strife, changes of govern
ment, pestilence, etc.; but the art for
applying them seems to be en
tirely forgott?n. It Is said that tier
sons born In spring are ruled liy the
symbol of diamonds; In summer by
the, clubs; in nutumn, by the spades,
and In winter, by the hearts.
THE SEVEN AGES OF MAN.
In Act II, sceno 7 of the dramatis
personae "As You Like It," Shakes
peare descilbes the "Seven Aces of
Man," and but faw readers of this In
imitable verse know how Claudius
Ptolemseus (commonly known as
Pt(demy) dealt with tho same sub
ject In his Tetrablblos. Chap, x, Book,
Iv, on Astrology, written about 131 B.
C. He savs:
"The mode of consideration applica
ble to human nature, in regard to the
pcilodlcal divisions of time. Is univer
sally one and the same, and It Is anal
ogous to the arrangement of the sev
en plnnetory orbs.
"Tho first age Is of infancy, which
endures for four years, agreeing In
number with Hie quadrennial periods
of the moon, is consequently adapted
to her, presenting rapidity of growth,
and possessing a highly vaila'ble habit.
Its mental Incompleteness Is likewise
In accot dance with Its familiar rela
tion to the moon and her operative In
fluence. ' The age after this continues for ten
yers and accommodates Itself to tho
ln'lu?nc3 of the second sphere that of
Mercury. Tho Intellectual and reason
ing faculties begin to take their char
acter, developing the elements and
ktiiw of genius and ability, and their
peculiar quality.
"Venus corresponds to tho third age,
which la.-ts throughout tho following
eight years, the number of her ov n
period. From her originates the past-Ion
of Love.
"The fourth and adult ago next suc
ceeds, and Is subject to the fourth
sphere that of the Sun. It endures
for nineteen years, according to the
Sun's number. Authority of action
now commences In the mind, the ca
reer of life Is entered upon, distinction
and glory aie desired.
"Mars claims the fifth nge, that of
manhood, ngreelng In duration1 with' his
own period, viz., fifteen years. Ho in
duces greater austerity of life, to
gether with vexation, care and trouble.
"Jupiter occupies tho sixth sphere,
and Influences the maturcr age, during
the twelve years corresponding to his
own period. IIo onerates the relin
quishment of labor, of hazardous em
ployment and tumult, nnd produces
greater gravity, foresight, pruifencn
and sagacity, favoring tho claim to
honor, respect nnd privilege.
"Saturn moving in the last sphere
(known to the ancients) regulates tho
ln.it old age. which is the last peilod
of life, as agreeing with its chilliness;
he obstructs the mental movements
wherein the animal splilts are ob
structed, tho appetites and enjoyments
dull and Insensible, confirmative to
the slowness of his own motion." And
then "last of nil, that ends this strange,
eventful history."
Every iieven and nine years In a
man's life are said to be climacteric,
answering to the days of tho moon,
because the forms a quartlle to her
own place In tho radix every fceventh
day, and In trlno to it, nbout every
ninth day; thus the 7lh, 9th, lRh,
Mil, 21st. 27th. 28th, 3oth,xSfitli. d,
45th,'l9th',54th,.!i0th, C3d years are all Cli
macteiical, and are reckoned, nnd per
harn truly, to bo productive of reivjark
ablo events, The most dant'erous of
them are the 19th and (13d, because
they are d,oubly Cllmarterlcal, being
7x7 and 7.x J, and when evil directions
i In thu radix) occur, arc reckoned gen
erally fatal. The 03d year is called the
Grand Climacteric, and a careful ob
server will find that more people die In
their C3d year, than In any other from
fiO to SO, therefore wlrm slekners oc
curs In a Cllmactericnl year It should
be carefully looked afler. Many will
find, with but little searching, that the
majority of peoplo die In these years.
