Pathetle Story of the Fnmoiui Jockey and the Steeplechaser Fatlg-un. Archpr, tho celobrntotl jockoy, vrns riding in aHtwplccIiiiHo, liis mount Ix-inpf n homo onllcd Fiitisnc. Tlio until was fond of tho horpo, which returned hi" nfToction with lilx'ral interest. At tho liwt fenoo tho horso fell nnd broko his leg;. Archer, thonKh of course, tin-own. Ml away from tho hort, nnd was not badly hurt TJ10 pnthetic weno thnt fol lowed i 1 described by Vog-ue : Hi dtarted away to deliver new of the accident nnd orrunKO to have tho horm shot, but was stopped by hearing a whinny. Poor Fatigue could only lift bin head, but he wna looking after and oalling tho rider he loved io well. Archer returned to the horse, and Hitting down on the turf, t(Kk the poor creat ure' head in bin lap, and sent a boy with n mesango for what waa necessary. Meanwhile tho horse lny still, except for an occasional spasm of pain. No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue. A stnnll boy finnlly volunteered, if 110 ono else wonld, bnt ho'd "a henpruther not " When the pistol was flnnlly given him his small hands trembled so that Archer took tho weapon from him, say ing: ' "Yon'ro nervous, lad; yon'll buuglo it He sha'u't have his pain added to. Ho'll never know what put him out of his misery. " Addressing the horse, ho added, "If I wasn't fond of you I couldn't bring myself to do it; bnt yon Bha'n't run risks of being hurt more." With 0110 hand he caressed the horse's head, with tho other ho put the pistol to the forehead. "Good by, Fatigue, old chap, good by," and he pulled the trigger. Fntigue hardly struggled, bnt settled down, dead, with his head still on his favorite rider's lap; and Archer sat quite still till the last quiver was over, his head bowed, and did not notice that tho red was staining his clothes. MR. GUMMERTON'S BESETMENTS. Troubled Most Jnst Now Over a Whatnot In the Parlor. "In her latest rearrangement of the parlor," said Mr. Glimraerton, "my oldest daughter has placed in front of tho whatnot a comfortable rocking chair in which I have always liked to sit The whatnot is a flimsy structure on legs so slender that they wabble when you look at them. Upon its shelves there are many delicate bottles and jars and vases and things that are always ready to fall off. "If I wore not so eternally kept down, I should be a man of cheerful spirits. Even as it is I manago to keep my head above the slough of despond, but I have a protty hard time of it whnt with ono thing and another, and jnst now tho whatnot in tho parlor U ono of my most trying besetments. Ono cannot sit in tho big chair now without danger of knocking the whatnot over. Tho first time I tried it the chair rocked batik and brought up against it All the bot tles and jars and vases on tho shelves nodded violently, mnuy of them beyond recovery, and these went down with that slight but compact crash that thin china makes when it fulls. . "Then I had to keep tho whatnot al ways in mind. If I sat in tho rocking chair at all, I hnd to sit in it carefully. Onco when I had forgotten about tho groat calamity and had jumped up rath er suddenly tho chair rocked back and touched tho whatnot agniu, this time, however, uot so hard; only a few things foil. But now I have given up the chair altogether, for with tho tfhatnot at its back it is no longer a comfort to mo. "I look at tho big chair longingly, and I fancy it looks with sympathy at me, and I wait with patient cheerful ness for the next now arrangemont, when the flimsy whatnot shall be on one sido of the room and tho comforta ble rocker on the othor."

"Hal" It was a short word, but there most have been a motive for it "A sail I Asaiir Turning to his 'first mate, he com manded him, with a fearful oath, run up the regulation flag. That person replied that there wasn't one, as the only flag they ever had was shot away in the last affair. Was the pirate chief rattled? Nay! For the bold buccaneer to rush dowa into his cabin, bring tip his Roentgen -camera,' and by means of the X rays to take an instantaneous photograph of the mate's skull and of a couple of cross feones from his twisted leg was but the work of a moment, and in a wink the table pennant was flying from the fare topsail of the saucy Plaukwalker.

Teaching Modern Science In the Oldest of Oriental Lang-naff, Tho Punjab provinco of India has boon for some years tho scene of an in teresting ncndemienl experiment, that of communicating western scienco, phi losophy nnd literature to tho people through their mother tongue, and to the educated through their learned lan guages, and not in nil English dress, as elsewhere. Sixty-three years ago Mncnnlny and Duff destroyed tho very different jiorni cions system of bribing native students of Sanskrit, Persian and Arabio to read their own sncrcd books. Gradually tho learned classes camo to be left out of our stato system of pnblio instruction, with evil results. Sir Donald McLeod accordingly devised and Sir Charles Aitchison carried out the plan of at onco attracting these, in the Punjab at least, by oriental titles nnd degrees, and of examining all students for the ordinary university degrees through the medium of their own vernncular. Tho Punjab university and its oriental col lego were founded at Lahore for these two cuds. The latest report of the Edinburgh graduate, Mr. J. Sime, M. A., who is director of tho department, is not very favorable to the success of the doublo experiment, now some 18 years old. He declares that "the prospects of advanced education through tho medium of the vernacular are not improving" at least, and Sir Dennis Fitzpatrick, tho lieuten ant governor, has ordered a special re port on the subject In the Oriental collego last year only B students were reading for tho title of Shastri, or hon ors in Sanskrit; 14 for Vishnrada, or high proficiency in the same; 11 for Manlnvi Fazil, or honors in Arabio ; 7 for Mitnlavi Alim, or high proficiency; 7 for Mnnshi Fazil, or honors in Per sian ; 7 for Munshi Alim, and 7 for the Gurmukhl title in tho Sikh vernacular. Of the 117 candidates in the local uni versity in Sanskrit a third passed. Of 83 in Arabio two-thirds passed, and so in Persian nnd Gurmukhi. The only en couraging fact is that every year the number of the Pundit class who take honors and degrees in Sanskrit is ris ing, and more than half of them go to tho Punjab examinations from the oth er provinces where there are no such tests. Edinburgh Scotsman. LEGAL PLEA FOR HER HAND. I Able Argument of Connsel Involving Ir ! sonal Interests. The judge's daughter was pcrpurbed. i "Papa," she said, knitting herpret- ! ty brow, "I am in doubt as to whethor I I have kept to the proper form of pro- , ceduro. Iu law one can err in so many ! littlo technicalities that I am ever fear I ful. Now, last evening George" ! The judge looked at her no sharply over his glasses that she involuntarily ! paused. I "I thought you had sent him about i his business, ho said "Idid hand down an adverse doci- ! siou," she answered, "and ho declared that he would appeal. However, I con vinced him that I was the court of last i resort in a case like that and that no ' appeal would lie from my decision. " "Possibly the court was assuming a little more power than rightfully be i longs to it" said the judge thoughtful ly, "but let that pass. What did ho do then?" " "Ho filed a petition for a rehearing. " "Tho usual conrso, said the judge. "'but it is usually nothing but a mere formality. " ' "So I thought," returned the girl, 4 'and I was prepared 'to deny it without argument, but tho facts sot forth in his petition were sufficient to mako me hes- itato and wonder whether his case had really been properly presented at the first triaL " "Upon what grounds did he make the application?" asked the judge, scowling. "Well," she replied, blushing a lit tle, "yon sea, he proposed by letter, and his contention was that the caso was of that peculiar character that cannot bo properly presented by briefs, but de mands oral arguments. The fact that the latter had been omitted, he hold, should be held to be an error, and the point was such a novel oue that I con sented to let him argue it Then his ar gument was so forceful that I granted iiis petition and consented to hear the -whole case again. 1D0 you think" "I think," said the judgo, "that the court favors the plaintiff.

They were taking supper in the pavilion, and had given orders, when one of the gentlemen turn ed to her and said: "Will yon have some pieperont, Mrs. X?" She drew herself up rigidly and felt grossly insulted. "No; I thank yon, air, " she said. "I never drink anything stronger than lem onade." Then the gentleman ' pointed to the post, and, while the rest of the crowd luughed, she read : "Pie, per cut, 0 oents. " Indianapo lis Sentinel. An Impossibility.

Year nftcr year when politics cense from troubling there recurs the question as to tho existenco of intelligent, sen tient life on tho planet Mara. Tho last outcrop of speculation grew from the discovery by M. Javello of a luminous projection on tho southern edge of the planet The light was peculiar In sev eral resHcts, nnd nmong other interpre tations it was suggested that the inhab itants of Mars were flashing messages to tho conjectured inhabitants of the sister planet Earth. No attempt at re ply was made. Indeed supposing our as tronomer roynl, with our best telescope, transported to Mars, a red riot of fire running athwart tho wholo of London would scarce bo visiblo to him. The question remains unanswered, probably unanswerable. There is no doubt that Mars is very liko tho earth. Its days nnd nights, its summers and winters differ only In their relative lengths from ours. It has land nnd oceans, continents and islands, mountain ranges and inland sens. Its polar regions are covered with snow, and it has an atmosphere nnd clouds, warm sunshine nnd gnntlo rnins. The spectroscope, that subtlo annlyst of the most distant stars, gives us reason to believe thnt the chemicnl elements fn miliar to us hero exist on Mars. The plunct, chemically and physically, is so liko tho earth that, as protoplasm, the ouly living material ,wo know, camo into existence on tho earth, thero is no great difficulty in supposing that it came Into existenco on Mars. If reason be nblo to guide us, we know that pro toplasm, at first nmorphons and nuin tegrnted, has been guided on this earth by natural forces . into thnt marvelous series of forms and Integrations we call the animal nnd vegetablo kingdoms. Why, unilcr tho similar guiding forces on Mars, should not protoplasm bo the root of ns fair a branching tree of living beings and bear as fair a fruit of Intel ligent, sentient creatures? Loudon Saturday Review. Loncer Life la the Country. The loss of pure nir, sunshino nnd other "free" goiKls nnd its effect on the physlquo of city dwellers is not ade quately compensated by hygieiiio re forms of town life itself, while the in creased number and complexity of sen sations impose a greater strain upon the nervous system. Tho nervous degenera tion which thus nccrues may perhaps be checked In time by further hygienic im provement of tho town and by n gradual readjustment between tho nervous sys tem and its changed environment But meantimo grave physical injuries arise directly from thoso very economio changes which have raised the economio condition of the great mass of tho work ers and have probably reduced tho qnan tity of purely economio poverty. When we reflect that the physical Injuries of town life, attested by rates of mortality and impaired muscular activity, fall most heavily upon the poor, we shall see grave reason to doubt whether the modern conditions of industrial and so cial life aro generally favorablo to tho physical vitality of tho low paid worker or the "residuum," that is to say. whether he gets any net vital advantago out of tho higher rato of real wages which ho obtains when he is working. Tho conclusion applied by Mr. Charles Booth to tho wholo body of workers thnt "in ono way or another effective working life is ten years longer in the country than in the town " lias an impor tant significance whon wo remember that each decennial census shows growing proportion of workers subject to tho conditions of town life. Con temporary Reviow. The Monkey's Hatred of the Tiger. Fortunately shado was gained before long, and a troop of monkeys indicated tho way our gamo had takeu. These of ten aid a tiger hunter, and tho royal robber uo doubt entertains sentiments toward them on such occasions which are worthy of himself, They do not fall in to ecstasies, as at the sight of a leopard, because intelligence touches them that in This case trees are safe situations.

There is a grocer doing business not far from tho south end of Virginia ave nue who has n horse that is very regular in its habits. Ho has learned that the bell in engine house No. 8 strikes 13 times every day at noon, and when tho hour comes and tho horse hears the lx ll -ho turns his cars forward nnd wnits for the boy who nlwnys feeds him ut thnt tinui. The horso will look nuxions- ly toward tho store and wait a few mo ments. If tho boy does not soon make his nppearaucc, the horse gets tired of Waiting and slowly walks to the stable. Every day ns soon ns tho bell rings the first time nt noon pconlo nenr by notice that the horse becomes restless, and, while a few moments before his head was drooping, nt the first stroke of tho boll his ryes open wide and ho takes on nn nir of closo nttention. Ono day the firemen concluded to try a mean trick on tho horso to see hew much ho really did know iilxmt the number of times the bell rang. They pulled tho ropo that rings tho bell 11 times nnd then stopped. Immediately tho horse's eyes closed and his head dropped into the snnio listless position it hnd maintained for sometime. Tho boy soon nimo out and got Into the wagon. Ho drove homo and ate his own dinner, but did not tuko the horso to tho stable. On his return ho stopped nnd put tho horse in tho stnble nnd fed him. The wholo matter seemed to be a surpriso to tho horse, nnd now tho peoplo in tho neighborhood, firmly believe the horse cnu count Indiniinpolis Journal. i Malarial Soil. Tho opinion Is expressed by Dr. Bach- man, uu accepted nnthority jn such in vestigations, that tho long current be-' lief that the source of malaria is In tho nir Is erroneous. The germ, ho says, which is of soil origin, is strictly n protozoa, reaching its highest develop ment in low, moist ground, wltn a fa vorable temperature. Surrounded by the proper soil conditions, this protozoa passes from one stage of lifo into nnoth er with considerable rapidity, so thnt in tho present state of experimental knowledge it is iuipossiblo to identify it Further, this protozoa passes throuph so many forms or stages of lifo that iu some of theso stages it is light enough to float and bo transported by the moist air of low grouuds, but in this stato is comparatively hnrruless except under extraordinary conditions. Not until tho surfaco yvatcr Is used does nny real mis chief begin, when by reason of higher development it has become much morn virulent than that floating in tho nir, nnd a very short period of incubntion is sufficient to dovolop a severe caso of malarial fover iu tho newcomer who uses tho surfaco water. From personal observation, Dr. Buehman declares thnt the exclusivo use of pure, deep seated water uffords entire immunity against malaria iu sections of country where no whito mnn would daro to live using the surfaco water.

In its present form it is, like a living species according to Darwin, the -outcome of tho survival of tho fittest of ' innumerable variations, the majority of which have been discarded. Indeed to oue interested iu microscopes and faml)' iar with tho present model nothing can seem qnainter than the old forms which prevailed during the earlier half of this century and have sinco become extinct In the evolution of the miorosoopo two factors have been dominant, the doniaud for optical improvement and tho de mand for mechanical convenience. Both of theso demands have been well met, so that there appears little left for the fu ture to achieve until an entirely new , direction is opened for further evolution. . It need hardly be premised that the optical part is tho essential part of a microscope. Tho optical performance ot ' the best microscope iu today perfect, having become so very slowly by nu merous small improvements. Although, magnifying glasses were invented, it.i said, in the twelfth century, compound microscopes with achromatic lenses have been iu use barely three-quarters of a century, whilo the introduction of ho mogeneous immersion lenses dates from 1878, and of the perfected upochromatio lenses from 18bti.
