HORSES AT SEA. They Can Smell Land Inug Before It Cornea In Sight, The ability of horses to smell land when far nt sea Is not generally known, but the equine must be credited with this acute sense. When a well known horseman of Philadelphia went to Europe some time ago he took a blooded horse with him. The animal was iu a specially prepared stall on deck and enjoyed the trip despite the rough weather. When the horseman thought land should soon be sighted, he asked the captain how far the ship was from the Irish coast. The commander of the steamer, in his usual gruff manner, replied: "Your horse will tell you. Watch him.” The owner of the animal could not understand what the captain meant, and he was not particularly pleased with the answer. Finally, however, and a couple of hours before land was observed, the horse, which was a magnificent bay, poked Lis head through the grating and, stretching his neck, whinnied loudly. “There you are." said the captain to the horseman. “Y'our horse smells the land." The horse was like a different animal thereafter until the coast loomed up. The captain in explaining the odd occurrence said that the thoroughbred detected the odor from pasture lauds that was wafted far seaward and that horses on board ocean steamers always give the first signal when land is near. —Philadelphia Telegraph. A POISON FACTORY. The Stomncb In Always Hum Form* In* Deadly Substance*. The body is a factory of poisons. If these poisons, which are constantly being produced in large quantities In the body, are imperfectly removed or are produced iu too great quantity us the result of overfeeding, the fluids which surround the brain cells and all the living tissues are contaminated with poisonous substances which asphyxiate and paralyze the cells and so interfere with their activity. This fact explains in part at least the stupidity which is a common after dinner experience with many persons. When food Ls retained in the stomach beyond the normal time, either because of its indigestibility, the taking of too large a quantity of it or a crippled state of the stomach, these changes are certain to take place. This fact explains a very large share of the myriad symptom* which afflict the chronic dyspeptic. The giddiness, th* tingling sensations, the confusion of thought and even partial insensibility which are not infrequently observed a few hours after ineala In chronic dyspeptics are du* to this cause. Here is th* explanation of the Irascibility, th* despondency, the pessimism, the Indecision and various other forms of mental perversity and even moral depravity which are not Infrequently associated with certain form* of gastro-ln-teitlnal disturbances.—London Family Doctor. They Kept a Bible For Lack. At Sycamore, 111., a well known business flrm makes it a practice to keep a Bible In the safe. The custom was commenced a long time ago. and the big steel box Is never locked up unless It contains the book. It is kept In the money drawer of the safe. It is found necessary to remove it occasionally, but it is always carefully replaced. The men who adopted this queer practice when they commenced business years ago have little to say In explanation. In all their business life their safe or store has never been robbed or entered. They have had a continuous good business and are among the most successful business houses of the town. All of the members of the firm attend the churches of the town, but all are liberal In their religious views, and the prevailing belief in the town Is that Holy Writ is kept in the safe principally for good luck.—Chicago Tribune. Camel Dark Hiding. Lord Kitchener of Khartum is credited with the best description of camel back riding that Is known. The soldier gave this description at a dinner party In London which some Americans attended. “When we asked Lord Kitchener,” one of the Americans said, “to tell us what it felt like to ride a camel, he twisted his mustache and-sald: “ ’Y’ou know the game of cup and ball? You have a ball and a cup, and you throw the ball in the air and try to catch ft in the cup, then bounce it up and try to catch it again. Well, when you ride a camel the brute plays cup and ball with you, missing you nearly every time.’ ” A Polite Man. A man was hurrying along a street one night when another m«n, also In violent haste, rushed out of an alley, •nd the two collided with great force. The second man looked mad, while the polite man, taking off bis hat, said: “My dear sir, I don’t know which of us la to blame for thia violent encounter, bat I am in too great a burry to investigate. If I ran into you I beg your pardon: if you ran into me don't mention it,” and he tore away at redoubled speed. All She Needed. Paying Teller — I can’t cash this check, madam, until you are Identified. Mrs. Bright—Y’ou mean I have to identify myself? Faying Teller — Yes, ma’am. Mrs. Bright — How simple! Have you a looking glass?—Philadelphia Press. A Sad Case. "They are new people?” “Painfully new. They haven’t even •ny old point lace which has been tn the family tor generations."—Puck.
