CARE OK HORSES ABROAD. Well Treated in London, with Opposite Kxtreme in Berlin. At a recent committee meeting of the Flttinane Society I'rof. Harry Wheaton Howard gare a short sketch of his experience and observation in regard lo the treatment of horses, as noted during his residence abroad at Berlin ror five years, In Paris one year and In London six months, says the Washington Star. He stated that in London horses are treated best, and in Berlin the worst. In Berlin a small public conveyance, holding four persons, is very largely used. They are all numbered, one as high as 18,00() having been observed. This style of vehicle, somewhat like a hansom cab, is drawn by a single horse which is generally poor in Hesh and is constantly whipped by the driver. The asphalt streets are kept wet by frequent washings and this onuses a continual falling of the hors-es. In view of this one always allows extra time for probable delay. When down the horse is quickly released by an Ingenious arrangement of harness and shafts. Each side of the shafts is hinged independently of the other, and the harness can be removed without cutting. In Paris, he said, tbe treatment of horses is about the same as in Berlin. In London the horses are cared for better than anywhere else in ihe world. They are all kept well groomed. The over-drawn check-rein is never seen, but frequently the horses' tails arc docked and the manes cut, and blinders are used. lint they are never touched with the whip, although one is always carried. Even in driving horses attached to the overcrowded omnibuses tbe whips are only cracked. The driving is perfect and compels the admiration of strangers.

"What!" he exclaimed, struck by her tone, "you are not seriously uneasy about herr "There is no reason I should bo, but oh! I can't explain my indefinable anxiety I dare say you would laugh at me if I could." Here they were interrupted by n young lieutenant of St. John's regiment, a warm, though silent, admirer of Dorothy, who returned with them unasked under the plea of imparting the project of a regimental ball, for which he hoped Miss Wynn would hold herself disengaged. They were almost at the gate of the Knoll before he left them, and they did not resume their conversation. "Is Mrs. Callaiider in?" asked Dorothy of the man who unswered the heil. "'So, miss. Mrs. Callander the Dowager Mrs. Callander called before she had finished laneheon she and Mr. Egerton and they all went out in the carriage
together. "Did not my sister drive this morning?' "No, miss. Tho mistress went out with nurse and the children. Mr. Egerton came back with her." "It is probable she will not be hack for some time," said Standish. "Let us go down on the beach, Dorothy, you look as if you, too, wanted to be taken care of, and the open air will do you more good than sitting in a room.'' "Very well," and she tnrned from the house to go through the garden. "Hut 1 nm quite wkell, only a little worn out with my practice and 1 wo whole hours of Miss Oakeley's enthusiasm." "I can imagine it. High pressure i hey?"
"Yes, very high. 1 hey walked on silently till they reached the water's edge, when Dorothy instinctively turned her back on a more frequented part 01 the common and exclaimed: "Let us get as far from the madding crowd as possible," "By all means especially as I want a little private talk with you." "Do you?" in an alarmed tone, "I hope not a scolding!" "Do I ever scold you?"' reproachfully. "Well, no! But just now I ahvajs anticipate evil." "The terrors of au awakened conscience. I suppose?" "I think I am more imperfect than
tricked," said Dorothy, with a sigh. Standish laughed. "Conscience is hard at work, I see. No, I nm not going to scold why should I?
Yon are really c. very good girl, so far
as I see, 1 am going to cross-examine vou."
"That is bad enough." and Dorothy bent her head, her naturally pathetic little face
looking so sad, mat htaudisti involuntarily drew closer to her. "You don't imagine, my dear Dorothy, that I would willingly distress yon? I think you can trust me! Now," with a change of tone 'Tell me, are you a war" that I have received overtures for a matrimonial alliance with my charming ward from an unexceptional parti?" "I am," very seriously. "It seems you have refuse Egerton. May I ask youghc why and wherefore?" "T don't like Ti mi." "But why?" t rged Standish. "I think," begun Dorothy, thoughtfully and slowly, "that Mr. Egerton might be charming perhaps irresistible if he loved h it somehow or other I feel quite convinced that he does rot love me!" "My dear Dorothy, what au absurd impression. Wl y should he ask you to ttiurry him? W ly seek you at all, were he not s'rongly nttrr.ctcd? Yon have no particular advantage of rank or wealth indeed, Egerton wants uothi-ig of thut kind." "Yes, it Is all very curious. I know it seems absurd to say so. hut I feel quite sure he does not care a straw for me." "How do you know? What is at the bottom of this preposterous conviction?" "Nothing at all that any sensible person would consider proof," returned Dorothy, in a delibera-e tone, dwelling on her words, "but there is no love in his voice or his touch or oh, no!", breaking off suddenly, "there is no love in h:m for me, or I co.ild never be so indifferent to him!" "Do you mean to say," looking at her rather sternly, "that you would Ir.vc any one whom yon fill or fancied lovid you?" "No, Pan!; but if I felt that n man was really in love with me, I should be sorry for him, and feel kindly towards him, and wish 1 eon d make him happy and " she stopped. "You feel none of these amiable emotions toward Egerton?" "Not one! I do not like him. And now you will proioise nil. 1u troubli- nie any
more about Mr. Eiterton -that is tinished." "I suppose so. I will not trouble you. Dorothy, but. Kgorton will; and Callander, he is rather keen i.bout the affair. 1'or my part, I am u little ilissisisl to be on your side. Still, I think the fellow is in love with yon." "And I--thoug!i 1. cannot :iri:i!o about it- feel sure he is hot." CHAPTKIt VII. A few days later Cn ihi lob r presented himself at the hotel, when his mother wad
he took his part. TMten Miss Oakeley
took possession of his, declaring she had some business matters to discuss, n;id they, or' rather she, talked for a considerable time in a dim corner of the drawing room till Standish announced that he was quite ready to escort Miss Oakeley to her hotel. Callander seemed to have communicated his talent for silence to his friend Egerton, for he scarcely sioke. Dorothy felt infinitely relieved when they were alone. As soon as she had made a few affectionate inquiries as to Callander's health, she bid them goodnight, hoping that a little private talk would clear away any shadow of misunderstanding between husband nnd wife, Next day Callander produced some trinkets for each sister, and, after looking at the papers, went off to join the children on the beach. As soon as Dorothy was alone with her sister she asked, "Is it all right with Herbert?" "Yea, quite right. I told you he would not mind. We will try anil make him as comfortable as possible now." "Yes, of coarse! but, Mabel, he looks awfully bad. ' "He does, poor dear fellow. It is this horrid ague. When I bid him good night he was trembling all over. It is some time since he had hud such an nttaok. We must get his old prescription made up. I will join him presently on the beach. What are you going to do, Dorothy?" "Oh! there is the everlasting practice with Henrietta." "Then I will tell Paul to go ami take jon away at one o'clock. Herbert would lik" to see you at luncheon." Dorothy sjied away with a light heart. The clouds she fancied so threatening were breaking, uud behind them lay clear blue sky. The holiday so much enjoyed by Paul Standish was nearly over. Egerton contrived to prevent anything like tete-a-tete
( Interviews between him and his ward dur
ing tne last few days, to Dorothy s great disgust. There was such a thorough sense of companionship between the two that auy third person sHiiled their frauh intercourse, and Egerton's third was particularly unpleasant to Dorothy. It was, then, a great relief to her mind when Paul presented himself, iinacinuipanied, in Miss Oakeley's sining roo;u at the time appointed, and they w alked leisurely hack to "The Knoll," talking pleasantly of many things. "So Callander took his disappointment about his intended second edition of the
'hone;, moon' very calmly," said Standish. "Very kindly and calmly, though I think he was wofully disappointed. IVhaps he is better at home, as he lias had a return of fever and ague. Hv is a dear. I think Mabel is so lucky to have found such a husband!" "I think she is. What shall I do whoa you marry, too? My occupation will be o'er, without a willful ward to manage." Thus talking they reached the house, and in the hall they found Mrs. Mcllugh. the nurse. "Has Mrs. Callander come in?" "No, miss; she was going out to meet the Colonel early, but just as she was putting on her hat in the hall, two outlandish men came to the front door -by good lack I hadn't gone out. so I waited with the missus, for I inns' say they were ugly customers. They belong to ihat foreign ship there, and I say they ought not to lie let rampage about, frightening respectable people. One was a great, tall, wild-looking fellow with eyes like a tiger, in a manner of speaking; ihe other, a fat little chap, with curls; both nearly as dark as uiggers: the little one spoke a queer sort of English." "Whut did they want, Nurse?" asked Standish. "Well, sir, they came inside the door as liold as brass, and the little fellow, he asks for the "other young lady.' 'So I up and says, 'What young lady?' for I saw my missus was frightened, and he says. 'The young lady as came to the ship with the gentleman what seaks Spanish.' 'She's not at home,' says I. Then,' says he, 'maybe this lady would look at w hat my comrade here has to show.' With that the tall one pulled off his red cap. arid took a Utile bag all sewn with gold and silver, tint very dirty, and took out a queer green stone all covered over with figures. 'This is a something. 1 can't remember the word, 'a charm,' says tin- little man, 'that belonged to the Moors.' Now J. knew that was a lie. for the Moores are an old Irish f:(uiily, my n. other's people, and no such things as that ever (.aim out of Ireland." "What did my sister do?" asked Dorothy. "Oh. she took It, and looked at it, a asked if the young lady wanted It. N the little man said the young lady wanted curiosities, and they had none, for they hail forgotten this thitu:, which hung round one of their filthy necks, it seems: anyhow. Mrs. Callander was taken with it, but when the little man asked two pounds for it, I just told her it was throw ing away good money. So we bargained a bit. and they agreed '. let ns have it for t wenty live shillings. Then ihi' missus says, 'Stay here, Nurso, I'll ui ivteh iny purse.' Then hack she eonn-s, and gives the gold piece and live shillings, with a sweet smile, anrl says she, so gentle a nil sweet, 'I hope it will bring me good for-
tun,' tays she. 'How Ion .' are yom to 1m here?' and the liuic man answers that they might sail any day. All this time the big, h ack looking sailor ecver took his eyes off her. 1 saw him glance at her beautiful rings. I can tell vou I was right glad to mc the lurt of them.'' "1 must show oii your amulet," said Mabel, when liny returned to the draw-

DARWIN AS A PUPIL. He Preferred t bcillisti v to the Old Greek ami Latin Verses,. Thirty years ago Dean Kurrar, nt that time plain Mr. I'ariur and merely a master at Harrow Si-lmol. delivered a leetuiv hi which he attacked the system, then in vogue, of spending much time over Creek and Latin verse. He urged that the practice should be abandoned in ease of boys w ho had no aptitude lor such work. In place of this artificial drilling, the lecturer advocated the study of s Iciicc nad natural history, as likely to lieticlit boys who cared nothing for Crook nm) Latin versification. Of course the lecturer was opposed by those wlto were believers in the old classical system. But lie has received his reward. Then iln re was but one well-k'nown school in England which bad a "Science Master;" now there is scarcely a school of nolo wiilch has not. Then the "Latin verse'' system was universal; now it Is almost entirely abandoned. He also had the pleasure of receiving from Charles Darwin a letter of historic Interest In the n nun Is of English education, wherein the great biologist relates his own experience, while n puv pil, in being snubbed because he preferred chemistry to tho. classics. He writes: "I was at school ut Shrewsbury under a great scholar, Dr. Butler. I leariloil absolutely mulling except by amusing myself by rending and experiment big in chemist ry. Dr. Buller somehow found this out, and publicly sneered at me before the whole school for such gross waste of time. I remember tie called mc a pococurante tcnreless. Indifferent fcllowl, which not understanding I thought was a dreadful name." Dean Farrar, commenting on Dr. Butler's mistake with regard to the greatest intellect which ever passed under his tuition, calls it a fault of the times and not of the man. In those days lioys described chemistry ns "Stinks," and Darwin's uicktiamo at school was "Uns."
Foes, and Yet rr'enils. One of the tenderest tributes paid to the character of Senor Canovas, the murdered prime uiiiiastcr of Spain, was paid by Senor Einiliu Castelar. his lifelong friend, and also his lifelong political opponent. Littcll's Living Age prints a translation of Castclar's article.
"Our perpetual differences of opinion," lie writes, "drew us the more closely together. The continual disputing ami arguing, without ever coming to a quarrel, was a delight." There was, It seems, a period of five years when the two statesmen did not speak to each other. "It was the work
of our partisans, not of our hearts. There were those who wore more Can
ovistas than Canovas, and more Cas-
tclarlsts than Castelar."
No words could be stronger than
those used by the great Republican leader of Spain in prahsc of the ability,
the honor, the sincerity, the moral up
rightness and the unl' inching political
courage of the Conservative leader, his
constant and successful antagonist.
It is too often the case that the hard blows of iHilitics estrange friends; that
a difference of views leads men to sus
pect the mental Honesty or their opponents; that politicians fear lest their
oxfn sincerity may be doubted If they
remain friends with the enemy. The evidence that Canovas and Castelar were alxwe such pot" uess of mind as that makes us wish that one trait of
SpanUih statesmen were also Ameri

A man who went away from homo

beauty of the little town in which tho

time n:id while wandering about walk-

beautiful place and the delegate walk
eil around among the graves. He saw a monument, one of the largest In the
cemetery, and read with, surprise the
iiincription on it: "A Lawyer and au Honest Man."
The delegate scratched !iis head and looked at the .noiiuinenr again. He read the inscription over and over.
Then he walked all around the monument ami examined the grave closely. Another man in the cemetery approached and asked him: "Have you found the grave uf an old friend?" ' "No." said the delegate, "but I was wondering how they came to bury those two fellows ill one grave." St. Joseph News. Already K warded.

Wobbled When Ho dime to 'Possum. "Olo I'ncle" Claybrook Is a very reIgious old darky, and holds eon verso rith his Maker twenty times a day or if tetter. His habit is to pray, and then urn off into what appears to be a oneided conversation with the Lord, but t is evident that there is another party 0 It us tar ns lie Is concerned. To hear din reminds one very much of a tclediotie conversation.

Pnzzled Over the Horse. Sandy Mcl-'adyeu, a Ecrfarsbire farmtr, had been spending an hour or two a the evening with a friend a couple f miles away. It wes a moonlight light, and Sandy, after partaking freely of his friend's hospitality, was riding quietly home across the sheep pastures on his "guld auld mare," when iht-y came to an open ditch which the mare refused to cross. "Hoot, awa', Maggie," said the rider, "this winna dae. Ye maun julst gang ower." He turned back about a iiundred yards, wheeled round aud gave the mare a touch of his whip. On she went at a brisker canter, but just as they reached ihe edge of the ditch sh stopped dead, ind shot Sandy clean over to the other side. Gathering himself up, Sandy looked his mare straight in the face and said: "Vera weel pitched, indeed, ma (ass. But hoo are ye ga?in' to get ower rersel', eb?" Pittsburg Dispatch.

he promptly enlisted iii Company A, of the Twenty-sixth Wisconsin Volunteers. Ill the Army of the Potomac our hero saw much righting, campaigning in the Shenandoah Valley. In the first day's tight aig at the battle of Gettysburg. Sciiiffeneder received a Round in the right side, which afterward raused him much trouble. With a portion of his regiment he was raptured and imprisoned at Bell Island and Audersonlille, and afterward exchanged, lie returned to his regiment, which was transferred to the army of General Sherman, aud marched with him through Georgia to the sea. Ill this campaign Mr. Sehiffender's old aound began to trouble him and he was lent to the hospital and then home. He had also contracted catarrh of the stomich and found no relief for years. "1 happened to read an account of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People shout a year ago," he said, "and tho-.iglit that they might be good for my trouble.
I concluded to try tlieui. I Dougnt one box and began to take them according to directions. They gave me great relief. After finishing that box I bought another, aud when I had takeu tbe pills I felt that I was cured."
