A REMARKABLE PONY.

It Ja an Affectionate Animal and Show Almost Hainan Intelligence. John C Krantz, of Baltimore, is tho owner of a Western pony in which ha takes a great deal of pride. Tho horso U named Dick and is ono of thoo pieces of horseflesh which seen to have almost human understanding. Lick is small enough to ;o through the small door cut in tno stable door which is intended for tho entrance of a man. He prefers to enter by tho smaller door and tometinn s tries to take the carriage to which he U harnessed in with him. This.it is needless tjsay, results in failure. Ho considers himself abovo th3 common herd, and with good reason. He will not have his harness put en in tho stable, but must be taken into office for that purpose. He then consents to be led out to be hitched to tho carriage. Dick is very fond of cream peppermint drops; the ordinary lozenges he will not touch. Jn t;rder to get these at the end of each drive ho is taken to one of Mr. Krants stores. His driver then goes in-ido for tho candies. If he wishes to do so Dick will calmly walk across the pavement and enter the door, much to the amusement of tho onlookers and the edification of tho children. Tho sweetmeats are given to th3 animal and he backs out. Ho always gaes after his mastor with a look ol inquiry in his eyes and puts his fore feet on tho pavement when Mr. Krantz leaves tho carriage. Mr. Krantz thinks his pet can bo taught to do almost anything and if ho had the time would try to educate Dick himself. Tho horse is very fond of his master, and on all occasions shows this affection. There is nothing too good for Dick and ho evidently deBervcs it.

His Advice "Went for Xaught. Tho other day thero camo to New York a young Bostonian who is famous in the Hub as a landscape gardener, and who is also loaded to tho guards with the most impressive affectations. Ho camo at tho request of a very wealthy express magnate, who has a superb country seat on the Hudson, and who is a proud cf it as ho was of his first baby. It is ienowi:ed for its magnificent stretches of velvety lawns and also for some very lino elm trees, one cf the latter which stands alono on the crest of a little knoll being tho very apple of it3 owner's eye. Tho young Bostonian arrived in the evening and dined with his employer and host and after breakfast tho next morning they walked forth together to discuss tho prospect for improving the general effects of the view from the front piazzas. With a great display cf thoughtful study tie young man peered over the landscape, catching angles and other things by raising his hand in front of his eyes a id also moving it from right to left as he squinted by- its edge. Thi3 was k.pt up in silence for about a minute. Then he said: "Hm-m-m-m! very fair chance here, very fair chance, indeed, for something exceedingly nice to bo made of it. Now, tho very first tiling to go will be that big elm standing there by itself, and He got no further in his advice, for in a cold voice tho elder n an interrupted him with: "No, you're wrong; you will bo tho first thing to go. and the train leavos at 9:21. Tho station wagon will leave ten minutes earlier." Then he turned and walked away. New York Mail and Express.

Gambling on his IjifV. The gambling instinct is strong in most men, but it is seldom that ono hears of a man with sufficient norvo to bet a sum of money on his own life. A wager ol this kind has just leaked out in which two prominent members of a Philadelphia club aro concerned. These two men have beenclo-o friends for years. Ono is a doctor and tho other a lawyer. A year asro tho lawyer, who had previously cnojed tho best of health, began to complain of feeling run down. Ho consulted his friend, theductor, who, aft er a minute, thorough examination, told him frankly his lungs wero affected, tho action of his heart was impaired and that ho wouldn't livo a year. Tho lawyer, who is a man of indomit:ib!o pluck and will power, was naturally i-tunnoi for a moment. After tho first shock had passed off his truo naturo asserted itself. "I'll bet you $l,0oo you aro wrong and that I do livo over ono year," ho exclaimoi. Tho doctor was positive his diagnosis wa corroct and wa forced to accept tho bet. Tho money was placed in a t-afoty deposit vault and tho lawyer went abroad. In air months ho returned. Tho year was up last week and ho won hii wager. And what is more, he says he is open for moro bets of a similar nature. Philadelphia Record.

"Wonderful Richness of Siberia. Considering tho fecundity of the Siberian mountains and rivers in respect to colored precious stones, it would teem a3 if naturo had, in a cynical moment, wreaked vengeance on this portion of tho earth by making it hideous, yet rich beyond compare. "With all tho marvo'ous minoral products tho porphyry, tho bluo and green iaspor, granite, red, rose-colored and bluo quartz, chalcedony, lapis lazuli topaz, beryl, aquamarine, and crystals attaining two inches in diameter filling theso terriblo mines and soil, who would wish to own any portion of it? No wonder tho palaces of St. Petersburg aro splendidly embellished from such teeming quarries, or that the rich nobility spend thousands of vcrsts for articles that can only bo manufactured in tho dark Altai Mountains, biboria to tho Russians is meroly a magnificent territory of unbounded wealth, and a vast prison house for tho criminal and 'nihilist. No sentiment is wasted on tho country. Boston Herald.

Speed at "Which the Harth Kevolvcs. Everybody knows that tho earth makes one complete revolution on its axis once every twonty-four hours. But few, however, havo any idea of the high rate of speed necossary to accomplish that feat. Tho highest velocity ever attained by a cannon ball has been estimated at V-iIG foot per second, which is euai to a milo in 3.2 seconds. Tho earth, in making ono revolution in twenty-four hours, must turn with a velocity nearly o jual to that of a cannon ball. In short, tho rate of speed at the equator has been estimated at nearly 1,500 feet per second, or a mile every 3.C seconds, or caKnJaeRm.UeA mißte. j
