THE HORSE'S WISHES.
"Oh, neigh, neigh," said the horse
named Johnuy to the horse in the next
stall, "I wish I could talk."
"Why do you wish you could talk?"
asked the other horse. "You have a
good, kind master, as I have. Why do
you wish you could speak?"
"Ah," said .Johnny, "so I could talk
to other masters who do not treat their
horses as we are treated."
"I would say to them, 'Men, don't
you kaoiv we have feelings? Don't
you know that in the summer we want
water, plenty of It? Do you ever stop
to think how much you drink, and how
thirsty you become;? And don't you
know that men and" women have to
work for these- things in the city. Peo
ple must give to help such causes.
Horses work for them, won't they in
turn do their part for horses? You
should have water buckets, drinking
fountains and people to look after them
in the cities. And every master should
treat his horse as we are treated.' That
is whut I would say."
"I wish you could say It," neighed the
other horse.
"Oh," said Johnny, "I would give
anything if I could say too that every
horse needed a nice stall with a
comfy bed. a nice warm blanket for
the cold, cold weather, when everyone
knows what a hard Job It Is to keep
warm. Every horse needs a blanket
when he is standing in tite cold after
he has been working.
"A horse works better, he can do
more for his master, If his master gives
liim goojl meals, enough nice food to
cat, enough water to drink-, a good rest
ing place at uight, work, but not too
much work.
"We need a holiday in the summer
when we don't work at all, a good rest
such as our masters have.
"And If they think so much of money
I wish I could tell them that we would
save them money if they took good car*
of us.
"Oh, how I wish I could say that
check reins do hurt a horse so, and
"I Wish I Could Talk."
isn't it better to be kind to a dumb,
animal who does his part than to be
a little bit more stylish T I would like
to ask them how they would ilke "to
have their beads held 'Way back. Yes,
I would like to ask them that.
"And I would like to ask masters
never to put a frosty bit In a horse's
mouth without first wanning It and
seeing that It was comfortable. How
would they like to have it put in their
mouths when it was half frozen?
"I wonld like to beg masters not to
sell the horses which have worked so
hard for them for years and years to
any old person at all, but as a reward
for thfir g.ioU work to send them to a

"When our best working-days are
over and when we have done our best
It Isn't fair to turn us out with any
sort of a master and to lead any sort
of a life which would be a slow, hor
rible death for us.
"1 would masters never to kick
a horse, never to overload one, never
to cut off the inane or tail of a horse
so he couldn't get at flies or mosqui
toes.
"I would like to. say that masters
wouldn't like It If a mosquito landed
on one of them, not to be able to
drive It awuy.
"I would like to ask masters to exam
ine the teeth of their horses. They
know what toothache is like, and a
horse's teeth should be kept in good
condition as well as a human being's.
"Ob, 1 would like to ask masters to
be kind and good as we are kind and
gentle and good. I would like to ask
grownups and children to do what they
could to see that there were humane
societies where they lived and to see
that horses were well looked after and
cared for ana that there were no cruel
ties.
"If anyone should be cruel to a
horse, he should be punished.
"Just because I have such a lovely
home I wish all horses had. I wish so
many things but most of all I wish for
the power of speech."
"I wish you had It," said the other
horse, "but let lis hope that some day
everyone will see that your wishes are
but fair and right, and that In the
meantime everyone does all he or she
can do to see that dumb beasts are
rightly treated."
Twisted In Bed.
Teacher—I would like someone In
the class to define the meaning of

Head toward the foot of the bed.
"Trompe."
The old French word "trompe"
meant a pipe or tuba, and the tens
trompe was applied to the apparatus
by which the blast Is produced in the
Catalan forge. It ta a simple, effec
tive and Ingenious contrivance for
producing a continuous and equable
blast, bat Its use is restricted to lo
calities where a fall of water from a
height of savers! warda can be ob
tained. The principle Is that water
can be made to fall through a pipe
In such a way that It will draw in
thromgh aide openings a considerable
amount of air, which by a simple act
ingenious arraigement can be utilised
as a constant current or blast, and
which has the merit of coating almost
nothing. It has been utilised to a lim
ited extent elsewhere than la the de
partment of Arlege, In the South 01'
France, where It waa formerly very
generally employed. Iron has been
made In that district for store than
000 years, but the use of the trompe
blast was not Introduced until the end
of the seventeenth century.
Chinese Lanterns.
Particularly gay and attractive are
the shops of the lantera readers la the
Chinese cities. All varieties of lan
terns are to be seen—the large silken
ones three aad four feet high, gor
geously painted with variegated colors,
embroidered In gold and silver or dec
orated with deep Triage of the same
material, costing from |100 to $200 and
used by the wealthy mandarins and
otbera; and common small horn and
paper lanterns, used by the coolies,
which cost one-sixteenth of a dollar.
The made of making horn lanterns Is
very Ingenious; the horns are cut Into
remarkably thin slices which, by means
of heat and pressure, are joined to
gether and formed Into various shapes;
round, square, hexagon, octagon, and
some shaped to resemble an hour glass.
The Piston.
"The piston Is la the form of a
solid Iron rod that enter* the cylinder
through a hole pierced In the middle
of on* of the end*," write* Henri
Fabre, "and Just large enough to giv*
tree passage to th« rod, without let
ting the steam escap«. This rod Is
bound to another Iron piece, called a
crank, and finally the crank Is attached
to the neighboring wheel. . . . The
piston, advancing and retreating In
turn In the cylinder, pushe* the crank
forward and back, and the crank thus
makes the great wheel turn. On the
other side of the locomotive, the same
things ar* taking place by mean* of a
second cylinder. Then the two great
wheels turn at the came time and the
locomotive move* forward."

Lo, the Poor Indian on the Upper Klamath River
EUREKA, CAL.—The splendid Isolation that has kept the upper waters of
the Klamath river almost as unknown as the depths of the Amazon is to
j be broken, and with its passing the Indian with the dugout, cflnoe will no
longer race unobserved by curious eyes
down the long, swirling rapids of the
river.
Humboldt county has entered into
a partnership with the federal govern
ment whereby ten miles of road are to
be built into the Somes Bar country
in the northeastern part of the county.
With the opening of this highway a
passage will be available into Siskiyou
county and automobile travelers
through the Sacramento valley will
have a wonderful realm for adventures
opened to them. An almost entire lack of ronas ims enaruea tne iviamatii
river Indian to live in primeval surroundings until the present day, and as a
result he is an interesting native. The wigwam on the shore, the papoose on
the shoulders of the squaw and the tribal rituals handed down for generations
still are part of his life."
Some knowledge of American history has penetrated into the wilds of
the region, one of the most bizarre convictions among the Indians being that
George Washington discovered America. *
