DOCBLEDICKANDJOE:

The pool-house Waifs. BY DaYID IflWRY. CBAPTMK ITU-CoBtlnua. The lookers-on maryeled as Dick set his teeth tigkt, and, accommodating his movements to those of the mare, they sped around the vast Inclosure in circles that Increased In dimensions; "Juraat Jump far your life, shouted Mitchell. "No, no," shouted Ben instantly. "Hold hard he'd hard. Dick," Dick did hold on. The white mare rose In the air pawed tho air. Still Dick clang to her. She plunged repeatedly, stilt the Dot sab on her back. Her heels flew up like lightning, and still Dick was not tossed over ber head. On the contrary, as she reared again nd pawed the afr, Dick hit her on the rifrut ear with his est with all his might. The mare dropped on all fours, then reared again, was hit again and again dropped on all f c urt Bat, now, Dick did not lose time striking her. His haud struck her a score of times or more as fast as he could move his arm. The mare stopped and shook har head. She turned and glared at her rider. In that interval Dick had grasped a ktose strap f torn this top of a wagon near him. This strap was now raisea in ino ft.. i ob we neaa, sn ob toe head, shoulders ana nanus or tno mare it rained blows oh her. The mare galloped across the field in a frenzy, still the blows were showered on her withont stint, (mo struck one eye that made nor frantic with fear and rage; she sped round and round sway to the end of the Urge field, back, ti and fro, and still the strap was plied s mercifully. "If she stumbles it is death to both," said Mltche'L "Yes; and there's live hundred dollars gone at a clip, said Mr. Bnckett, whom the cries bsd brought from the road at a distance, where he was superintending the movements of the foremost wagons. I'd give thought to that plucky boy, said Ben arilr. So I do so I do," said llurkett -Here, too, said Mitchell. At that Instant the mare stood stock still. The lookers-on could not see what happened. What they siw surprised them beyond expression. The mar turned about, ai.d instead of galloping ltlce mad, trottwi yes, trotted slowly and gently back to the group near the green-room, where she stopped. As Dick looked at the crowd smiling, Buckett exclaimed: The boy's a witch' - "I can't understand it,9 said Mitchell, as Dick slid to the ground with a laugh. I . , .- , . "Yob are a wonder!- said en. 31 H - mnmzate a tri There's nothing -yon can't back after that, said liuekett. "O! Ill put him on n iebra or tiger aftar that, said Mitchell, taking hold of the mare, which stood docile. "Now let as have some breakfast," said Bnekett "Yes," Ben said, with a laugh, "It gave me an appetite Jnst to look at Dick and Firefly." It is necessary for me to sny something -of the axae Dick mastered. Black Bess was as mettlesome an animal as wo have feen. There were very few who could go nar her. However, Black Bess had been driven, ridden was woll-known in the ring. Only she was uncertain, "devl 1ish uncertain, as Mitchell said. Dick did wonders with her. Firefly well, to twist an old sarin i. a mare ot another color. The white stwjd was the most uutractable horse known In the State where she was foaled. She was a heeler a spitfire a murderous beast. Beautiful but cruel She had a terrible record. Bnckett knew her strain well knew all about her, but he took a strange fancy to buy hor, and paid more money for her than others, who knew the mare, would have been paid to take her home and promise to risk limb and life feeding her. Von never heard I never heard ot a man or a woman, or a horse with a bad record, that die not somehow present an offset in the shape of extenuating circumstances. Firefly had killed two men. One she thaw over her head, breaking his nec k, the man who fed her two years. She killed him tea minutes after ha placed the bit in her mouth tho only bit she ever felt in her mouth. The excuae then .was, her owner did' not know bow to manage horses. The bereaved family got rid of her speedily. A man who knew all about horses took bold of Firefly. Why, he had commanded a cavalry regiment. He mounted her one day; she took the bit in her teeth, ran away, threw him, and he died a week later. The excuse then made was that Colonel Smith was not sufficiently mindful; that he let the beast get her head when he ought to have been watching her. Firefly was fed carefully through a hole ut the stable after that Nobody cared to oe maimed or killed by venturing into her ataiL This was the blooded mare Buckett bought just for an experiment. This was the animal Sick subdued. It was wonder uL A boy. a mere boy who was raised In a poorhouse, bringing a bean that the oldest hands were afraid of. There Is a great deal of superstition amona "show people. " More than tailors reveal; much more. Buckett all at once conceived this boy was thrown Into his path to paralyze the public with Firefly. At the breakfast table he said, in a loud tone: "Your boy, Ben, has accomplished what no one else would have undertaken for me." "I wouldn't do It, for one," said the clown, coolly, as he helped himself to another egg and apiece of bacon. ".Nary time, Mr. Buckett." "I didn't think you'd confess it," said Mitchell. Ben looked at him. If you instant that for a sneer It don't hart. I believe there are men and animals that are too mean to live. Thieves and murderers and horses spoiled by keepers, that were no good when they were foaled. There's plenty kindly horsos I've handled ail you've brought this way can handle Firefly but "Well?" said the ringmaster. "Why, if I did, by aud-by somebody else would take her in hand and she'd kill him. I don't want to be tin one to lull people into false security." "Both!" "You all hear him. He says 'bosh,' gentlemen. Hake a note on It, Tell' me at. the end of the season If I am right." Nothing more was said concerning the white mar j at breakfast Very soon after the breckfast was disposed of, the clown's wife went to the leading establishments, secured the material for Dick's drirw, and taking It to a costumer's instructed them fully. The Monster Aggregation meanwhile moved on to the great city, where they were to give an exhibition that night Mrs. 3nwn was to follow in the cars at her leisure. Dick was delighted. Be had readheard ef Kew Yuri:. Ho had never hoped he would see the great city, and here he was an Ids wfcy to it And hew wsu he entering ft. As a hero! Aaa prodigy! His name (it was his now) was in big colored letters on startling poster' that challenged the eye. Hia name was I. "ger than the clown's then- Mrs. Bro vn's. Why, he was the leading the ci ntral figure In the Monster Aggrecatioji of talent and beauty. What did it all mean? He. wondered how it wonid all turn 04 Likely a not- Zeke Caoer would i dovn oa hua as of old, and irattis

him aa ho curried him back to Acorn County and upprentioed him to some cross f arm sr. Nol Dick rosolved he would die before going back to Acorn County again. The Monster Aggregation was transported to tne metropolis in a few hours. The attendants were busy as bees; so muohhadtoe done Wore tho public would be lenaltted to vitnoss its wonders. New trappings were fitted, new people employed, new programmes arranged. It was eminently proper to adhere to the old saw. Mr. Bnckett was determined to put his best foot foremost A success in New York meant well, it mijaiit victory or defeat. Tho opposition had started out from New York Buckett was bringing something in. He brought in a number of good riders, leapei'S, and specialists who had got in first-class working order "cvory man and woman feeling as fine as a fiddle," to use hia own language. Whereas his competitors had b;gun with a good deal of friction, and performances were rough, everything showing a rough edge. Bnckott would come and go as smooth as buttor. Tho clown and his wife were housed at a good hotel. Mrs. Brown was in her room, with Dick, who had just come in after a ?alk up Broadway, whore ho marve'ied at all he witnessed, when Ben suddenly entered. Ho looi:o(l angry. He tossed his hat oh the tabliv and began Instantly with, "Would yon beliovo It, Kato, Buckett has got Mitchell to do his dirty work again." "How Is that?" "You know I know that Firefly will kill Homebody. It wasn't luck enough for Dick here that ho handled Bess all right; beiiaise he brought the mare to time Mitcholl wants him to ride Firefly. " "He shall not

riei wiu wilu iu j wusenu Dink looked at tho clown. "Does Mr. Mitcholl nay I've got to ride hor?" "Ho would like to, but I've got a say. " "But how can you, Ben?" said his wife. "St you or 1 do anything, Mitchell will say it's jealousy. "Oh, yes; I've thought of that, too, Kate. IT, talk through others this time. T ie boy shan't be killed. "I'm not a bit afraid." "I belhvu you," said Ben, admiringly; "you've pluck enough for a regiment, you have." "How l!d you learn all this, Ben?" His wil'e was very much oxcitod. "Why, I overheard Mitcholl talking to Buckett. All bo wanted was Buckott's permission, and he s4ys he will mount Dick on ';he she-devil to-night " "Oh,Benl" Mrs. Brown looked alarmed. "Something awful will happen I feel it, I know It" "I tell yon what will happen I'll wallop Mitchell to begin with, and take Dick away with me, before I'll see it done." "No, no, Ben; you know you wouldn't fight hint. You've promised you would not lower yourself fighting. " "I did, Kate and I'll keep my word but somebody wilt whip that cur. He is a cur. He goes on all fours curse him." Dick laughed. "What.are voa U1gtlfJ'V, : r.ooTiw.- iwu gam no was a cur and cursed him. The clown and his wife smiled, and the smfe brought back good humor. Then thoy talked of the matter soberly. "Mitchell has given the white mare a new aame " "Whali In it to be, Ben?" "Think." "Oh, Angel or something peaceful." "Very peaceful The new name is Gentle Annie. " "Mitcliell wonld be nearer if he called hor Pea'ih on a Pale Horse," said Mrs. Brown. "Whal, will you do, Ben?" "Well, to begin with, I'm responsible for Dick, here." "I don't see It." "Why, I put him on a horse if I hadn't ho might be hanging around blacking: boots, selling cakes, and leiuonade. I ought to see ho Ib not put on that brute, to te killed, maybe. " "Yes I see, now. You most not allow It." "Aye, there's the mb. How 'am I to help it I suppose the only way is to quit Buitkott and lose a week's salary in spite of -ill we can do. "I'd lose a month's salary rather than see Dick turt "I'm glnd you're agreed. Wei! Fll oppose It, and if the worst comes, I'll give Buukott warning to night" That evening, whan Dick was dressed as the Arabian Queen, and just beforo the crowd began to pour into the enormous tent, Mrs. Brown called her husband aside. "Buckett and Mitchell have made up their mind -they will put Dick on Firefly in the last act '' They won't! Til bet they won't, liow, " said Ben sturdily. Til shoot the beast if they do." Dick listened to this conversation eagerly. Ho wanted to assure the clown ' that he thought he could jump off tho mare, II the worst came, but he refrained. The boy tad been restrained so I much that he could not manifest, or make known to ethers, his '.-onfidence in himself. He did not fear any horse I indeed, he had encountered so many mad I bulls, and vicious horses that he knew me nature ot tne rour rooted animals as well or better than many stablemen; for Dick was chough tin), and pondered much over the disposition of certain fractious animals. That night, when Dick was on his way to the circus, he had overheard two lads about his age, talking of the circus, and its principal features One of them had said thorn was going to be a "surprise. " The other asked the nature of the surprise, when tho first replied that it woula be something wonderful on horseback. Ho hod half a mind to relate the Incident to the c'own, but he held his peace. So the lioy had evidently overheard something, csonM one In Mitchell's confidence had whisiered what was on the cards for the evening. Mitchell's dark face appeared In the entrance at that moment Ho did not speak to Ben; as for the clown, he turned away from the master and busied himself villi his own affairs. He was drotised to go on, but his face was not yet painted. Dick thought his eyes flashed, and that there was less color in his face and Dick was right. Bon Brown had fully rosolved to protent against any attempt to place Dick on the back of tho vicious mare he had fully made up his mind to part from Mr. Buckett. The signal for assembly sounded bofore Ben was ready. He gave his cheeks a few he sty touches, deepened a few wrinkles, hit tho cheekbones lightly with carmine and picked up his marvelous hat. The grand entry was made In magnificent style Dick was on as a princess, of course, with a false skirt which could be removed in a second, and a sa&a that could 3e tossed aside on the instant. The various acts called In rotation we re leceived with thunders of applause. The down was In his glory. How ho made '.oe people roar with his sallies and songs and antics and artistic triumphs. The opening in Now York was an overwhelming success. There could be no do.ibt of it The performers did their best, und wero rewarded with thunders of applarse. Suddenly Mitt hell appeared in liio dressing-room. There was only a few Indiana, Japanese Jugglers, and a snakecharmer in the green-room people Dick had been looking at wonderingly for days, but whom he could not speak to. "Now, Dick, I'm going to ask yon to stun them. Will you ride Firefly? If you ,do, I'll give you 810 right now. Here's tie money, Dick." "I'm not ai'raid." "Then I'll liavo her brought 1n Don't be afraid.

"I don't like to refuse, but unions " Dick was talking to air. MIttbel! had (llBitppeared, and a moment later appeared with two grooms, one on. either side of Firefly.

The white mare glare 1 at them alternately. She was trembling with rajta "Now, t.hon, let mo give you a lift." Before ho could remonstrate, pour Dick was on Flrofly's baek. Tho boa it bounded. The grooms held her fist The rinR-raastor walked beside them saying, "Hold hor in curse you, hold hit in and load her twice, or three times round the ring. Don't let her go till 1 toll you." The band gave a furious flourish, and Dick otherwise the Arablf.n Queoitrwas carried by the untamed tttoed fairly into the ring before he had time to think It was all done so quick that he could not repress a smile at tho 1 jok of raal horror the clown bestowed upon hit as tho grooms walked tho mare arouud tie ring. Tho poople laughed at the faco the clown made. They could not help Ithe counterfeited horror so well. Meantime, Mitchell had mounted a painted keg, and was announcing l a Hie metallic tones: I.ADUis AND Gp.nti.emks: I have the honor to announce the first apuournnoi liefore an American nudienca of one of the most rcnowno equestriennes f-he worli lias over seen.

TO BIS CONTINUE!!. Isnoranee Wat miss. A story was recently told in the -Free Press illustrative of the esceedir g politeness of the Spaniards, who, when yon admire anything belonging to them, immediately offer it to von, expecting, of course, that yea will thankfully decline to tako it. That story calls to mind a circumstance which happened not long ago in our owi national capital a story of Southarn hospitality. A young woman had iwen summoned from the West to take a position in Washington. On the day of her arrival she chanced to meet the charming daughter of Congressman Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and in the course of conversation happened to say that she had not yet found a suitable boarding place, "Oh," said Miss Breckinridge, rnestly, "come up to our place. We would bo delighted to have you come there and live." The Western girl, supposing, of oouree, it was a boarding house, went up with Miss Breckinridge d loo ked tjje. jooms-A" critically, commenting here and there on how she would Uke to have this or that room arranged if she was going to take it. She was finally shown into the guest chamlwr, and said : "There, this room suits me pretty well. If I could have a folding bed in it instead of that great cumbrous thing, I would take this, aud I wonder if I could have a rocking ohair. I tiate those stiff -liacked affairs." Miss Breckinridge said thai could be arranged. "Hew many people are Ahero in the house ?" asked the Western girl. "Only our family." "So? Nobody else? That's gcod. Do you get enough to eat?" Miss Breckinridge began to think the Westerner was a strange creature. "How loisg have yon lived here?" Miss Breckinridge told hr ;veral years. "Bo? Well, then it must suit you. How many in your family ?" The Southern beauty told her. "How much do you pay?" "I don't know Father pays the bills." "Much?" "No; I think not. It is not every expensive neighborhood." "Well," said the Western girl "I think I'll take this room." And she did. She Kent her trunks and satchels and band-boxes up, audit was not until she was all bestoved ihat she found she was not in a boardinghouse, but had unwittingly accepted the hospitality of a Southern family, and a very distinguished Southern family at that. free Press. The Elephant. "Seeing the elephant" is :k slang phrase applicable to a variety of things and conditions. The young man who reaches home late at night and finds it com anient to go to bed with his boots on, is apt to mu rmur in his dreams, "I've seen the elephant," Tho granger who buys a "gold brick" for a tenth of its value, and, elikted with his good fortune, takes an unusual cargo of tipple, blows out the gas and retires is apt to ejaculate, in place of an evening prayer, "I've neon the elephant." The young lady who trustingly and verdantly gives her confidence to an unvouohed for adventurer has often found the abovequoted sentence expressive of hei experience. The gullible, the verdant, the stupid, flats, greenhorns, simpletons, numbskitlh, and dolts, regardless of age, sex, or previous ojndition, find that "seeing the elophant" is an essential prerequisite to cutting eyeteeth, opening eyes, ramming a few grains of sense into empty braiiii?ourds, and ceatdng to be a gosling. "I've seen the elephant" means all the above and mnoh that must not be printed ir a pious, character-molding, and instructive guide and mentor such a journal as this, which is read and quoted in every land and clime where language is printed. I'ullma i Journal. Maw Arrangement of the DJmier Table. The Athenians ot tho fashionable world are at present interested in the suggestion of the triangular table for dinner parties. It I; dono by amusing three tables In a triangle. Tho host sits at tho point of the triangle with tho two most distingui hed female guests on his right and left hand. Tho hostess occupies the router of the base o ' the triangle, and has the distineulb' d mou with her. Tho twenty of this arrangement is that at large dinners the host and hostess are not entirely removed from the miosts at the center of ti e table. As is usually the case, they are so far romoved that they cannot ko. p a.i oye tipon them and seo thst they arj well served and are buing amusod But. with tho trianga'ar table every one facen them, is near enough for conversation to De possible and agreeable and i.'togother the conversation is easier to start aud to regulate.

AMONG THE LEPERS.

Mill Kt.ta Standout the Brave EnglUh Woman, and Ber Travel. Just about ono year ago Miss Kate Mars leii, tttt lady who stud led leprosy among the Maoris in various parts of New Zealand, says a writer la the Pull Moll Bwlgrt, started on a tour of llussia .mil Siberia in quest of further Information reganlingtUedisea.se and its unfortunate victims. Miss Mareden went tinder the special protection of th Empress of Russia, and armed with documents by the aid of which every hospital and prison in the vast empire of the north would open its doors to hir. When she set out Miss Marsdcn was under the impression that she could accomplish her object within six months. Now, after nearly a year's hard and continued work, she is high up in the white North, which, nine months out of twelve, is wrapped in ice and snow. Wild tribes, the very fringe of western civfltatbn, inhabit these regions in the lorerniuent of Yakutsk. In stead of coming home to chronicle her discoveries and experiences, Miss Marsd D has sent over to England an English lady who joined her at Moscow, was her traveling companion to Omsk ;mrl who hopes to return to Miss Mamlf ti (to whom, speaking Russian fluently, and being keenly Interested in the loiiors, she is invaluabhVi fitter accomplishing tho task for Vbtcb she has returned to England. This lady, Mis.') I'ield, gives tho following Interesting details ot the tour: " i juihm JWihs Mai'saou at Moscow; whence ',ve went straight on to Samara. I cannot tell you how kind nay, more than kind the Russian Government- lias everywhere been to us. Miss Marsdcn has an autograph letter from tho Empress (with whom she hi also in direct communication as to her work) and a number of official documents, aud no sooner does she produce them than everybody, from the highest to the lowest official, docs his very best to assist her in any way lie can. At Moscow, for instance Prince IDoigoroukoff, tho then Governor, collected a sum of mousy for Miss Marsden, and many other people in high position made her presents of warm clothing and other things she would want in tho North. ,Sht; lias also quito a collection of valuable saint images which tho Russians consider will protect any one carrying them from all daggers of the liody, mind and soul. When at Samara we had not quite decided whether we could do any good by going to Ufa, when the Governor there told Miss Marsdcn of a most Interesting man at Ufa just the one man of :il others that could give her full information about tho Siberian lepers. This was Archbishop Dyonesius of Ufa, a man widely known in Russia for his learning and for the splendid work he has done aiaoag' the half-savage tribes of Siberia. He was the first Bishop in the north of Siberia, whore ho lived and worked for forty-three, years. He also translated the new Testament into the language of the Yakutsk tribes. "But don't they talk Russian, like the civilized Siberians?" Miss Field was asked. "No: tho different tribes have each their Isiiiiguage or dialect, which are quite different from Russian. Well, the Governor of Samara gave us a letter to the Archbishop of Ufa, which proved to Vie invaluable to Miss Marsdon. We called on him tho day after arrival and found himself a most interesting man, who himself had found out a great deal about leprosy. He told n about the lepers In the vast wild districts beyond Yakutsk how they live scattered around in lonely pla'jes and how frightfully leprosy is prevalent among them. There are three different kinds of leprosy and It upfiears that in the case of these trills In the lake district of Northern Siberia the source of the disease has been traced to a small lish that inhabits the lakes and is eaten in large quantities by the natives. The germ of leprosy was discovered ia the fish, and, what is more, an antidote to it has also been discovered by some one. This is a herb that; grows in thedistrict, called by the Russians kutchukta (octoblepiiarum?) This, of course, is of the greaU'St ' jiosstble importance, but alas! though lepers abound' in this district there is no place where they can be taken care of no hospital where leprosy in the early stages might:- be cured, and where the sufferings of i-hose might be somewhat alleviat ed when it is too late to cure. To procure, money for building a hospital in the north of Siberia is now an additional object of Miss Marsdcn, and she is confident thatshe will be helped at, soon as she makes it known in Russia and in England. Yoa can imagine that we went on from Ufa more deeply interested than ever, now that we were on the actual track ot the disease. The next place we were bound for was Omsk, where I left Miss Marsden to como to England and plead for more money with which to carry on the work that has proved so much more extensive and successful than she could forsee on setting out last year. The traveling expenses alone are very heavy, and Miss Marsden never passes one of all the prisoners she sees In the various; prisons without showing some little kindness to them, by giving each a small quantity of tea and sugar, both luxuries not included in tho prison diet." "How do you travel in the interior of Russia?". 'By tmika, put on a sledge in winter and on wheels in Summer. "When we wei-e traveling together it was winter, and the cold was often 30 degrees (Keaumcr), with a wind. What that means only those can understand who have experienced it. Miss Marsdcn whs dressed in Jager wool, to be gin with, and over that, she wore not one but three coats one of felt, one wadded, and the outer coat sheepskin inside and reindeer skin outside. Reindeer skin, with the hair, of course, left on it, is always used in Siberia for winter coats." "What alKiut your food in out-of-the-wiiy places?" "Sometimes we had to live almost entirely on tea and biscuits and such t inned provisions as we had with us. The brown bread was so bad that we could not jKisslhly eat it. Had it been the common soldiers' bread it would h.i.ve been all right; but it was nots aid it was altogether" impossible tomana;);? toeau it.

a Sinn of rroK-res. It may be asked of those whose habit it is to extol the past at the expense ot the present, whether some progress has not been made in teaching men to be meixsiftil not only to their fellows but also to the lower animals. A couple of centuries ago tho very heyday ot the good old times It seems hardly i-"' have dawned on mec'8 minds that tho sufferings of brutes were worth of serious considertion. Great scandal was caused when, in 1722, the Rev. James Granger (th i eponymous founder of the school of 6 rangerities). jreached a sermon against cruelty to anlmali, ani printed It under the title of "Apology for the Brute Creation, or Abuse of -AninuJs Censured." His parishioners were indignant, and it is recorded that the mention of horses and dogs vvsh resented as a prostitution of the pulpit,, and was thought to be a prf mi of t;he excellent man's; insanity. All honor to Mr. Granger, and grateful honor to the men and.

women who wors: so deiigentiy now to carry on the work he so well begun. There is plenty left for us to do. Many cruel practices have been put down by law, and there prevails among most pecple such a degree of tender mercy towards their speechlew fellow-creatures :is would make Mr. Granger's parish' jners rub their eyjs and wonder-what kind of finikin folk we had become. But from time 'iD time one gets a painful reminder that men are born cruel, and that mercy is a matter of education. Many a. fair day is darkened by one witnessing a enui act. Sucli ivas ono Of tlie ill's t, bright mornings of the present lag;gard spring. On a common near London a couple of clowns were intently watching some object on tlae grass. Four or five decently dressad people had been attracted to look cri, and the curiosity of one passing hate been excited, ho also joined tfce group, only to witness a piece of brutality the recollection of which haunted him for many days. A 11bard, uhan which there is no more shapely or harmless creature (with a pedigree, moreover, that puts to shame the proudest human families, for it is the heir of the mighty saur ians of Pleiocene times), had come cut to bask in the welcome sun. These trousered monsters had caught it and cut it in two, in order to watch the movements, of ';he mutilated parts, and laughed (Lord! is there anything so cruel as laughter?) as the head and tali moved m different directions Blvxkicwd: Ber ri:r; Varriage Blda, "I think a true story of my experi ence atOberamtncrgau," said a Washingtonian, "indicates better than could a hundred lectures or descriptions, not only the simplicity of tine people, but the spirit- which sna.ies the 'Passion Play' possible there without offence to ethical taste such as It would give in any other region. On a lovely June Sunday last summer, as my sister and I were drivi ng down the valley from the play, on our road to Partenkirchen, we overtook a party of peasants returning home after having vievred the holy spectac le. One of them w is an old woman, bent under her weight of years. We stopped our carriage to inquire whether her way lay with cars, 3 nd finding that it did insisted upon her getting in with us. When she had seated herself, she looked at me s nd asked: " 'Are you a princess?' '"No, I am not a princes,' I answered. " 'But you h ive a carriage and. a pairoi horses.' " 'Yes, bnt I'm not a princess.' " 'I am 84 years old, and this ia the first time that I have ever ridden in a carriage.' "She sat silent for a few momei ts, then looked at me again inquiringly, and said: Did the Lord Christ veil you to take mc into your carriage?

For thousands oi years naturalists nave been trying to understand and explain Its mystorious ways, but have not fully succeeded.

It is tho bird of the strangest babUs known. A native of this' continent can hardly realize tho charm of tho notes of the cuckoo. From a musical point of view there Is not much In them, hue thi name of the bird is evidently onomato pontic; tbat is formed from the sounds emiited by it, and this uamo is the sumo, or nearly tho same, In tho languareis of all tho countries It freq uents.
