But what was mi horror, on looking back when I was about the middle of my perilous course, to see that he too was venturing upon walking the plank. My mind was made up. I rode steadily on and gain. ed the further bank in safety. Then I dismounted, and in a moment I seized the plank and shook oli'the monster into the abyss below. He fell into some mortar that some men were mixing for building operations, and got his eyes so full of lime that it blinded him and stepped up his nostrils. A tiger is no good with neither nose nor eyes. and one of the men led him back to the fair with a dog chain and an iron bar to knock him on the head with when he snarled. “And you 3” “Oh, I had brain fever.

The latter probably did not cost morethan :31. Such an arrangement might be in every cheese factory of the country. It would cost our flcroities very little to provide a supply of ice for summer use. As Mr. Maclareii imints out, it would prevent very great loss and keep up the quality of summer-made goods. â€"-â€"â€"..â€"____. Salvation Army Notes. â€".~\ series of very special gatherings are to take place here on Saturday, Sunday and Moiiilav. Aug. 7th. 8th and Slim. They will be conducted by Brigadier and Mrs. Read and Adjutant Hay. Brigadier Read is the new provincial oilirer tor .ue central part of the province of Ontario. The brigadier has had a wide and varied ('Xlk‘l‘lC’llce in the work of the Salvation Army, haviniir been for some time in secretarial work at Toronto headquarters. and (ll\’l.\‘lflllal ollicr'r of the Clintlmm division some eight years ago. After caving Cnatliam he spent some time in iraiiiin! Young mun for the work of the army at the Central Training Home at Toronto. Thcn followed a term of four ands half years as cditor of the arim’s ollicial gazette of Canada, the War Crv. For eighteen months Brigadier Read brill command of the army‘s operations in Newfoundland. where a. very successful work was currii-il on. A year also was snout in the oversight of Manitoba, the Northwest'l‘nrritory and the province of ilritish Coliiiiinia.

Newfouu land and the North-Western States, and has travelled thousands of miles conducting meetings in connection with this work and other branches of the Salvation Army’s mission. As the new provincial Ollicers have had an extensive experience in Christian work in many branches an interesting and profi- table series of meetings may be antici- pated. â€"â€"._.._. THE CHATEAU CHANTILLY. How It Came to Be Left to the Institnu of France. I The chateau of Chantilly was bequeathed by the latc Duc d’Aumnle to the Institute, but this was really no new gift, as it had been virtually made in 1884. The Satur- day Review of 1886 speaks of it as follows: The Duo d‘Auinnle has responded by a crushing blow to the iinmcrited indignity offered by the French republic tothe house- of France. He has requited the penalty of ostracism inflicted on the Orleans princes as u sop to the tyrannous ranoor of the ex- treme republican party by dowering the land of his birth with the most splendid and the rarest gift ever offered to a nation by an individual. To the north of Paris, about 25 miles from the capital, Chantilly is situated on the confines of vast forests, in an undulnt~ ing region watered by the 0158. About 1840 the Due d’Aumale first conceived the idea of rebuilding Chantilly. His two sons, the Prince do Condo and the Duo (18 Guise, were dead. During 40 years the Duo d’Aumale bad sedulousl collected all the remnants of the splem or of the Montmorencys and of tho Condos that he could find. M. Daumei was asked to build a palace worthy to re- ceive these precious souvenirs. But. like his predecessors, M. Daumet was limited by certain natural conditions. The marvelous subterranean rooms and galleries existed still, and the moats, and the strangely shaped triangular rock, and this subterranean plan dictated and com- l-undod the form of the structures abovc ,rround, because the foundations remained, Hill on this honoycombcd rock it was next to impossible to displace them. The plan of the castle of the Boutilliers, of the Mnnrmorencys and of the grand Condo had to be followed by the Due d’Aninale. The strange perimeter had to be respected, and the new facades inevi- tably reproduced the big towers at the an- gles, the strong spurs, the posterns and the drawbridges, which existed from the earliest times, in the ground plan. The technical difficulties which the architect had to surmount were immense, especially the works undertaken in the honeycombed rock, with a view to supporting the pro- jected structure above ground. In brief, his performance was this: To follow rigorously the perimeter of the old renaissance castle, to provide fine state- rooms and galleries for the moption of certain specified objects of art, to accom- modate the cbatelet for living purposes and to build a. chapel, in the adornment of which were to be utilized stained glass, sculpture, wood carving, statuary and falence slabs saved by Lenoir from the W; deliver.” with surprisingalacrity and n youngwom- an with u very large but stcppcd out. into the moonlight. small leather covered box. an actress, you know, and”â€" gracefully. “you must excuse me. boa highwnyman, but 1 am not an ad- vertisemcnt. ’ ’mBoston Budget. eminence be pleased to cut for dinner today? would be very nice. you mean from u drcint-dary or a bicycle tidalâ€"London Answors, ....- 3min.

There were only four persons in the party, including a very small and silent baby, but their advent caused a revolution of emotions in the car, which was com- pletely filled with passengl‘rs. The undcr- . sizcil father and portly mother of the baby, l together with Cousin Em. boarded the train at Câ€"â€"-, bound for New York, and, as it Was a Jersey coast express train on the Pennsylvania railroad, the stop at Câ€"â€"â€" was of short duration. Immediate- ly nl‘tcr the train started the announce- ment was made in three difl'ercnt vocal keys that Cousin Em was being carried away from home against her volition. “Herc! Stop this train, David! Stop it, I say, and lct Cousin Em ofi'!” commanded the baby’s mother, pushing her little hus- band toward the door of the cur. “Stop the train, conductor! Hold ’0: up! Hold ’er up!” echoed the husband, running frantically down the aisle. “YUS, fur goodiicss’ sakes, let me off,” chimed in Cousin Em shrilly. "I ain‘t fit to go nowhere. I’ve got nothin but a. check apron on.” The conductor, however, was somewhere else, and the brakcman’s authority did not ('Xtclltl beyond keeping the excited young woman from jumping off the fast moving train. With a Wail of despair, therefore, Cousin Ein retreated to the center of the ('111‘ and proceeded to relate to the passen- gi'rs how she had only come aboard “to help Cousin Efl'ic on with the babynnd the things, bccause Cousin David is no earth- ly use where women folks are. And here I am with nuthin but a check apron on,” she subbed in conclusion. Meanwhile the baby’s mother was mak- ing vigorous use of an ample vocabulary in setting clearly before her little husband’s mind ii. few facts regarding his genital “HBICSSDCSS. “Now you just fork over the money to pay Cousin Em’s fare to the next station and back, and then you’ll hold the baby till we git home,” she said, with an emphasis that brooked no dissent. David handed out 40 cents and quietly took the baby. When the conductor appeared, he was int-lined to treat the incident as a good joke on Cousin Em, but thatyoung woman indignantly bade him observe that she had “nuthin but u check apron on,” and to keep his jesting for some more suitable occasion. To a few of the sympathetic fcmule passengers she confided that she had some “befitting frocks” at home, and as she loft the car at M station she expressed the hope that she might meet her new friends again “with sutbin better than a check apron on.” Cousin David held the baby until the train stopped at Jersey City. His wife kl‘pt her eyes on him. and so did the rest of tho passengers.â€"-New York Times. We guarantee our 25 cent TEA to be as good as can be bought elsewhere for 35 cents.

The horse has become so thoroughly domcsticutcd in all parts of the world that really wild representatives of the species are extremely rare. There still exist in parts of Hungary partially wild horses, but these when captured young may be broken in and put to harness with as much readiness as horses reared on a farmstead. It is, however, far difierent with the wild horses of the Tar-tars, which are untam- nblo and will not live in captivity. During his journey through western China G. E. Grum Grizmailo met with a wild horse in the Dzungarlan desert. and after much trouble succeeded in securing two specimens, though neither of them were taken alive. The herds are extremely cautious, and it was only by the utmost patience and cunning that the explorers "were able to conceal themselves near enough to 1). small salt lake where the horses came to drink to shoot a couple of them. The‘ wild horse has something in common with the Altai, Caucasian and Finnish ponies. It is of short statureâ€"â€" 1.46 meters highâ€"has a broad chest and back, a short, massive neck and fine legs, as elegant as those of a race horse, ending with broad hoof's. The head is rather heavy in comparison to the body, but the wide forehead is hand- some, the line from the forehead to the nose straight and the upper lip covers the lower one. The upper part of the tail has the color of the body, but is black at the point, and, like that of the wild ass, is not entirely covered with hair. The. inane be- gins in front of the ears, the longest hairs being in its middle part. It is black in color and hangs over to the left. In the scantinoss of hair about the body the wild home rather resembles the Tekkc Turco- man horse, but the killed specimens had a strange looking pair of whiskers. about four centimeters long.â€"Pittsburg Dis- patch.
