THE HORSE IN HISTORY.
Iu a lecture before the Ohio
State University by Hon. L. N.
Bonham, Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, on this sub-
ject said :
• "Moses • seems not to have con-
sidered the horse a factor worth
mentiouing among the live stock in
the days of Adam. Egpptain civil•
iz.tion, however, honored him with
place ou monuments and works of
art five hundred years before he
was referred to in the writings of
the Israelites. Though they wan•
dered in Arabia, the home of the
noted Arab horse, they took no in-
terest in his development. Six
hundred years later they had ad-
vanced out of the nomad state, and
Solomon took to horses and monut-

Israel dwelt safely from Dap to
Beersheba.
"The 'Mohammedan conquests
were made ou the horse and by the
horse, The Indiana of America
were feeble to resist or invade so
long as they had only dogs se their
beasts of burden. After they be.
gen to draw horses from Mexico
they were metamorphosed into
horsemen whoee ,power or evil
the history of our frontier attests.

sources of the land, or for defense
or invasion, The Greeks in their e
highest civilization unproved the 1
1bertuSt.
Canada, and founded Quebec,leaving
there enough good blood to found
the wiry and durable Canadian
horse.
"Natione which have bred grand
horses have traits of greatness and
high ideals, and have intelligence
acid enterprise to appreciate and de-
volop desired and valuable qual-
ities. 'traits may be created.
The docility of the Arab horse, the
milking trait of the Friesian cow,
were bred into the stock and de-
voloped by selection and use. Great
breeds of heroes are evolved only
by races of men of nobility of .char-
acter and marked power. When
the race of men falls into decline
their horses decline. Three hnn-
di•ed years of degeneracy have re
ducted noble blond left by the Span-
ish invaders of South America to
the level of the Mexican greaser
and his mustang. The Indian
pony, with all the meanness and
toughness of his Indian master, is
the product of degene•r-.alemefra
the blood of the noble Andalusian
and the Normae horse beraught.to_
arta"ia fli'e`fi'Pteentti century.
"The horse in his development
and use has in every age been a fit
index of the degree of civilization
of a people. Arab and Mohamme-
dau used the horse only for chase
and war. A people like the Eng-
lish needed horses for bearing bur-
dens and tilling lands, as well as
for ceremony, for sport and for
war.
"The tastes and fashions of a
monarch influenced the style and
use of horses, Charles I. and 1I.

importations. William the Congn-
ror wanted heavier horses for war
nd agriculture. He imported from
blood drawn from Egypt. To de-
velop the endurance, speed,'style
and docility demanded in tho horse
which was to be the pride of kings
and men of wealth racee were in-
stituted which superseded the
athletes and boxers at the famous
Grecian games. Kings and meu of Pe
wealth expended fortunes in breed- pr
ing and fitting horses for these
games. Gilon, Hiero, Dionyaius
and Alcibiades wore proud to train
and show their horses. Alcibiades
setit seven chariota at one time and
won first, second and third prizes.
Normandy and Flanders. Henry
VIII. was so eager to improve the
horses for cavalry and agriculture
that he caused horses under size to
be destroyed. His reign of thirty
eight years was marked by an in-
crease in the nnmber and value of
werful horses and in a like im
ovement in agriculture and wealt
os the nation.
"Froin the Greeks the Romans
derived their bast blood and ideal
of a perfect horse. The Arab traced
his stock to the stables of Solomon.
Their superstitious devotion to the
horse as of divine origin, coupled
with their singolar fidelity to pedi-
gree, alogg with the salubrious
climate and rich grasses and herbage,
and training, evolved the wonder
fol Arabian horse. To him the
beat blood of Spain, then of Eng -
laud, and finally of America traces.
The student can trace this blood in-
to Barbary and along the coast of
the Mediterranean Sea into Nor-
mandy and Flanders, thence into
England, and see how the habit of
the people, the climate, soil and
rises made of the horse developed
the warhorse, the ponderous draft,
the fleet thoroughbred and the
coacher,
"The ware, crusades and invasions
led to mingling bloods, evolving
different breeds. The Norman con-
querors founded the heavy type of
warhorse, and every invasion south
brought back more of Arab or Span-
ish blood. The Normans lost noth-
ing of their enterprise, skill and
peraistence, and made their impress
on every land they invaded. They
established trading poste even in

• "Two hundred years of improve-
ment led to the establishing of the
atud book in 1791. The "tight
little is'le" has evolved the wonder
of ages by intelligence and persiat-
eat breediug, selection and develop-
ment, the blooded horses to which
directly traces the Amelicau trotter.
The trotting horse is sui generis.
He has been evolved under different
conditions of climate, feed, fashion
and business, For centuries horses
wore used only for war and cere-
mony. The trotter is the product
of necessities of business, and has
been developed in the fashion of
sport and pleasure. Hickory and
steel springs have made light vehi-
cles possible, and driving to light
vehicles has become a fashion which
is fast evolving tho horse which
trots instead of canters, paces or
ambles, as did the horse of earlier
ages. The trotter has been evolved
from the necessities of business or
sport. The horse of old was the
horse of war and waste. The
American horse is the offspring of
peace and thrift."

in every printing office is a youth
whocannot be understandingly

Tho phrase hi question originated
in a printing office on the occasion
of the Saturday night's settlement

MRS. LAVERTY'S WRATH;
Mrs. Laverty, an Irish lady, who
lived 30 miles from the American
Richmond, was in the provident
habit of laying in a store of groceries
to last an entire quarter, since ahe
could not repair to Richmond
oftener than four times a year. On
one of these provisioning expedi-
tions she laid in a store of matchea
—a disastrous investment, since not
a match would strike. Wild was
her fury, which was kept alight and
aglow by her daily recurring trouble
..eta .•gat-..�tiersS•re-: al+g•h•t-�-•and-,.-agl awe_
without a match. Her wrath, thus
kept at boiling point for three
months, gave the storekeeper a hot
quarter of an hour, when she bust
at last into his store andthundered
down the parcel of 'match boxes
upon the counter. Haviug waited
with deferential patience till the
storm had spent itself, he said
suavely. "Allow me, madame."
taking a match box from the parcel,
and a match from the box, he struck
it, after the manner of men, upon
his trousers. "See, madame !" he
exclaimed in smug triumph, hold-
ing up the kindled mateh. "The
divil fly away wid yel" shrieked
Mrs. Laverty. "Do ye think that
iviry time I've a fire to light, Pll
travel 30 miles to ethrike a math on
the sate of yore breeches ?"
MISLED BY SHAKESPEARE.
The late ]'raj. Barttelot, who was
killed in Africa, was educated at
Rugby, where is still remembered
as the hero of a funny achoolboy
binnder. "What is the meaning of
the word 'adage?"' was the queer
tion which was asked by the master.
Varioue shots were made of the
usual wild description, when it
came to young Barttelot, who
without hesitation, replied : "A
place to put cats into." Everyone
laughed, and tho master, who was
as much mystified as the rest, called
him up at the end of the lesson and
asked him what had put such an
idea into his head. "Well, sir,"
said Barttelot, looking very much
injured, "doesn't it say in Shake-
speare : 'Like the poor cat in the
adage?'"

Toronto, March 21.—(Special.)--
At the Young Men's Liberal Con.
servative Association banquet held
here this evening in the Rosin
House. and attended by over 300
prominent gentlemen'of both parties,
Hon. J. A. Ouimet and Hon. J. C.
Patteraon delivered rousiug speeches
which elicited stories of applause.
There were representative men
present from nearly every city and
town in the Dominion.
Replying to the toast, "Canada,"
Mr. Ouimet said, after thanking the
vast numbly for the bumper
reception which had been given
him, that a great speech could not
be expected from him since he was
not at home in the English tongue.
Ho feared that Mr. McCarthy had
come forward with his battle against
hie language too late so far as he
was concerned. (Laughter.) He
did not think Mr. McCarthy in
earnest in his battle. (Cheers.)
The Conservatives in Ontario
achieved a great and splendid vic-
tory in the bye -elections, and
as a representative of the Con-
servative Government he wished
that he had the eloquence. the com-
mand of words, to properly ex,
press how grateful the Goverument
was to the young men of Ontario
for the gallant part they had taken
in securing such a noble series of
triumphs. In this respect the
young men of Quebec were not be-
hind. (Cheers.) Had they not
fought recently a mighty battle
against great odds ; and, to the
honor and credit of the Province of
Quebec,' had they not vindicated
the virtue and honor of their faith
and couutry in defeating, hurling
from power and punishing in no
fainthearted manner the Mercier
horde? (Loud cheers.) It was but
natural, however, that the young
men, net only of Ontario and
Quebec, but also of the Dominion,
should belong to the Conservative
party. This party was the party of

One thing he wished to
warn the young men of. He did
not wish them to think that all

hosts of true, loyal and patriotic
men in the Reform party, and be
trusted now that this party had
been wiped out that nothing offen-
sive would be said to these men

led. He paid a glowing tribute to
the French-Canadians and elicited
storms of applause when he referred
to the gallant work be bad don-
within the past two weeks for the

go into Dominion politics from a
partizan standpoint upon the oe.
ca,ion of this his first speech in
Toronto. He referred feelingly to
the late Sir John Macdonald, and
paid a brilliant tribute to Sir John
Thompson, who had sacrificed him•
self, when he was offered the firet
position in the land, for the sake
and welfare of his party. Sir John
Thompson was a noble, able and
gallant man. (Loud cheers.) He
had for the sake of his country
sacrificed himself and giyen freely

an older man, who wax the idol of

HORRIBLE SCENE.
A SHRIEKING MURDERER Or SERVENT
GIRLS IMPALED UPON A SPIKE.
Frank Schneider, the murderer
of servant girls, was executed at
Vienna, last week. The scene on the
scaffold was most horrible. Sch-
neider's sallow face looked almost
green as he was lead to death. A
priest attended him, and he had to
be almost 'lifted to the ,scaffold,

cutionur took hold him, "Have
mercy ! My God, I will tell all."
the priest urged the wretched man
to think of heaven. The execu-
tioner taking a tight hold of Sole
neider raieed him three steps to a
spike t'.1at was fixed to a stake. The
spike came to a sharp point after
the manner of the Turks in impal-
ing eriminale. The executioner
and his assistant lifted up the miser-
able being, while he kept up his
shrieks for mercy. They' held his
limbs apart and impaled him living,
on the spike, They pressed him

six inches. While Schneider was
undergoing this horrible torture,
one assistant of the executioner
held his legs and another his acme.
The chief executioner pressed his
arms around Schneider's mouth and
nostrils, smothering his shrieks, and
the wretch died after about four
minutes' agony. A crowd of wit-
nesses wore present in the jail yard,
and were horrified at the horrible
spectacle.
BRUIN 1.N WINTER,
Oar Aram»,al Friends: Bruin does
not retire from the open till he is
compelled to do so by frost and
snow. He,lives through the sum-,

a cow diving the summer, and will
take to his heels in fright or; sight
of a burn n being: It is only when
be leaves his lair too early in the
spring and be is not able to find
anything to eat that he will attack
man ; but be prefers a calf or sheep,
and the farmer's tale is often short
at sundown.
But, as I have said, when winter
overtakes him he seta about to find
a winter home. Ile has very likely,
during the summer, when poking
his nose into hollow trees looking
for the honey of wild bees, seen
some place that will suit him, and
to this he goes straightway. The
.tree must be a large one, and be
will not select it unless there is a
space with plenty of room where
the snow or rain cannot reach him.
This secured, he bundles himself
together, his head on his paws,
closes his eyes, and remains in this
posture till "those blind motions, of
the spring" tell that "the year has
turned." Then he drags himself
out, and begins his struggle for an
existence.
WHIPPED ON HER BARE
BACK,
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY LASHES
GIVEN 4 NEGRO WOMAN BY A
MOA,
The oitixsna of Meridian, Mita.,
arose last week to cowhide a negro
woman.
A few days ego a • prominent
railroad man went to Vicksburg on
business and left his small mother-
less children at home in charge of
the hitherto faithful negro cook, his
house servant.
For the first day everything went
well, but so much latitude could
not be used and not abused by the
cook, and becoming exasperated at
the conduct of one of the children,
the inhuman wretch beat the de-
fenseless child unmercifully.
Not content with this outrage the
woman proceeded to establish a dia-
reputable house in the residence of
her master and iu the presence of
his little chiIdren.
When the facts of this outrage
became known to a few of the
friends of the abaont man they were
so enraged that strong talk of the
fatal noose became common, but
cooler counsel prevailed, and a
party of citizens took the woman
from the house; and carrying her to
a convenient place, admiu'stered
150 lashes On her bare skin.

SHE WISHED BE WOULD

The sorrowful looking little wo-
man roused herself after a few mo-
ments of deep thought and asked
her friend what' her husband did
when things went wrong in the
bouse.
'Grumbles and complains,' replied
the friend.
`Tants right out ?' asked the
sorrowful little woman.
'I should say be did, 0, he gets
frightfully mad sometimes and
stamps and storms around at a great
rate."
'Does he swear?'
'Sometimes.'
'And tells you that you don't
know' the first principles of house-
keeping ?'
'Yes, indeed.'
'Do you suppose,' asked the sor-
rowful littls.wonntn,"do you suppose
if he talked to my husband he could
get him to act like that ?'
'Get him to act like that 1' ex-
claimed the friend in astonishment.
'Doesn't he over—
'Never makea a complaint. He
just looks as if he was a much
abused man.'
'But you can stand that l'
'Oh, yes, I can stand that, but he
has a friend who is a newspaper
man and he gets him to write an
article about it.'
'To write about you?'
'Oh, he never mentions any names
and he disguises it some, but when
it is printed he has some one send

the story in it. It's mean : that's
what it is—dots-nt`ig:ii i'' mean. I'd

me a chance to get angry, too, and '
