Hainmio Work Done nt Itril Acre 1'nriii, Located ut Stow, Mn"i. Years ago u little girl tilled with n (treat love for animals, and esjiociallv for lioroea. saddened frecjuently by 111'-' night of cruelty to old and disabled horses, made up her nilnd to estaaliu'i oino duy a home for wornout or sick horses where they could be t rented with kindness' mid consideration and where they could niHind their hist years in jienco and comfort. A beauti ful thought for a child to originate nnd icmarkahly realized in the now famous Red Acre farm ut Stow. The history of the establishing of the place nnd It sulwequent develop ment, as told by Miss Harriet J. Bird, the originator und founder of the plan, who with her mother lives there and personally superintends the work, Is so full of tender interest thnt !ur Boston audience the other day was frequently moved to tears. The lif of the average horse Is a tragedy toward the last. How little we realize what the downfall process means until the end is leached and the willing feet can travel no more. IJow many owners of a horse when he reaches the stage where his pace Is unsatisfactory or ho begins to show 6lgns of age think of sending him to en "old horses' home," where for n trifling sum he enn lie boarded nnd taken care of for the rest of his life or from ; where he can be loaned to responsible people who will give him enough light work to keep him well, to be returned to the home when his usefulness is over? That is what Red Acre farm repre sentsa home for old horses. There ore a few faithful and honored pen sioners nt Red Acre, notably anions; whom Is a horse from the Boston tire department, reninrknbly intelligent and much beloved. Rut the most pitiful tales were those of the rescued horses bought from peddlers for 51 or more, found in the most abject misery, beat en, starved, emaciated, almost at the end of their endurance these are the ones that Red Acre ministers nnd de lights in reclaiming. Those that are hopeless are mercifully killed, but many recover rnarvelously. Roston Transcript. ' WATCH IN COW KEEPS TIME. Bossy's ltrsplrnt ion Winds Up the Timepiece. Axel Axelrud, a prominent North Da kota farmer, tells a remarkable story of the recovery of a valuable timepiece lost many years ago. Ho says that about seven years ago he was at work In his barnyard, and the day being warm, he removed his coat and vest, hanging them on the fence. In the pocket of the west was his gold watch. A calf chewed out the pocket of the rest and swallowed the watch, al though he did not suspect that this waa the case at' the time he missed his timepiece. Last week Axelrud slaughtered the calf, which had become ti staid old milch cow. In cutting it up he found the watch Imbedded in Its lungs. The strangest part of the story Is his state ment that the watch was still running. He necounts for this fact by saying that the position of the watch vna such that the process of respiration, the closing and filling of the lungs, k.-vt the watch, which was u stem-winder, wound up. Axelrud says that the watch bad lost only four minutes In the entire even years. -I'loncer 1'ress. I'uMlu Spirits.

TABLE OF THE TWO FLEAS. 21 o rut hurt a That l.ntt of Lnxnrr Mar I-earf to fatal Kesults. Two liens were nnco sitting on n dojj Mho was wandering nhout the streets when one of them said: "Rrother, what n degraded, half-starved lot Is ours I Here wo have chosen to ulte Jiir chc to n common street cur who wanders from alley to nlley. We "eo nothing but tho most dismal sights. We hear no clyvating conversation or delightful small talk. Surely there ou?ht to be something better In store for vk than this." "You nre right," said the second fi"-t. "Look, my brother, here Is a carriage approaching. It Is evidently some hlwh born lady bent on u charitable enter prise, hi her lap sits Mich n beautiful little terrier. Let us, therefore, make an effort to belter ourselves." "Splei'tlld," said the brut Ilea. "Wo will live timid the most luxurious sur round I hits. We will feed on the fat of ti"' hind. We will sleep nt night in a clean bed." And tfo in n few bold but suivcssrul juieps in the carriage slopped they both lauded simultaneously on the back of the terrier. In a short time tiny were driven to their new home. delighted were they with tludr new life that the two fleas could icr.reoly contain themselves for Joy. Their manifestations, however, were so imtisunl that the terrier frantically scrntehed himself, which attracted the attention of his mistress, who Imme ijjattly sent for a physician, who at oiiee gave the dog such a radical treat ment that the two tles were slowly drowned In a horrible fluid that caiuo like a Hood and surprised tho-ui before tiny wore able to get away. "Alas! brother." said the first flea as he gave a dying gasp, "why could we not have been satisfied with our humble lot?" Moral : Some folks, never know when to let well enough alone. Life. CARING FOR CAPTIVE WISHES. (hnnires Keqnlred hy the SeHoii Screen for the Sen Cow. The seasons bring changes at the Aipiariuin In the manner of caring for the captive fishes just as they do, though in a different fashion, in men's ways of caring for themselves, says the New York Sun. Here, for Instance, in the fall warm ed salt water Is turned Into the tanks containing the tropical fishes to make possible their existence through the winter, for those fishes could not live In water of tne temperature of thnt hereabout at this season; nnd In the spring cooled fresh water is turned Into the tanks containing salmon and trout, which could not live through the sum mer in water of the temperature to which the flow from the pipes then rises when such fishes in nature would seek deeper and cooler waters, as in cool springs. This year nt the Aquarium tho refrig erating plant for the cooling of the water for the fishes that require It wits started up about two weeks later than usual. It was a backward spring and the natural flow of fresh water from the C'roton pipes remained sulll ch ntly cool much later than usual. Wanning up later, the water contin ued warm later this year than fisual and so the refrigerating plant was this year kept going ten days later than ordinarily, until the water had got down to a temperature lu which the fishes could live. And now the plant for supplying warmed' salt water has been started up for the comfort nnd well-being of the tropical fishes. Another winter preparation hero Is seen iu the screen or curtain thnt at this season Is set up around the sea cow's mio1 for Its better protection through the winter; the sea cow comes from n warmer clime, Florida. This screen is so rigged thnt it can be kept snugly furled through the day; It Is let down at night to protect the sen cow from cold and drafts. NEARLY EATEN ALIVE lavage SqnlrreU Swarmed Over Man And Hit Illui. Jem Itritton, of Fairfield, N. J., was nearly eaten nllve by squirrels, accord ing to the New Y'ork World. Jem Is all over squirrel tooth marks to prove It. Jem is a grout hand for chestnuts. He didn't uso to care about shooting rabbits and squirrels and things, lie cause he to believe the small crea tures have ns good a right to live as he. He's changed his mind now as to squirrels. Jem took his chestnut basket nnd a couple of chestnut bags yesterday nnd went over to Farley's woods, nenr Fair Held, and started to gather chestnuts. A whole army of squirrels fled at his approach, mid as ho started to gather nuts he could hear them chattering In the boughs over bis head. It seemed to Jem that the chattering was a peev ish kind of chattering, but he didn't pay much attention to It until a squir rel dropped down on the back of his neck and bit his ear. Jem cussed and ktns-ked the squirrel off, but Just then another squirrel ran up Jem's leg and bit ids knee. More In surprise than anger Jem alined a kick at the squirrel with his other foot and in doing so fell to the ground. When Jem got up again there were squirrels hanging to him all over, and biting li I nt like everything. Jem says be never saw so many squirrels and that by gosh he's going to kill-a rqulr rel a day for tin rest of his natural life so help l liu. lie ran awny from there nnd got u club, but when he returned to the squirrels they set upon him Just the sa'.ie i.mI bit him so much worse tli. in the first lime that be bnd to run for bis life, with squirrels dropping off tiii,i all the way homo.

Matrrliua I'pople Who Left Trace of a Kciuarkable Civilisation. Why did tho Etruscans devote their whole lives to the Incessant making of pottery until it accumulated lu such quantities that they wero compelled to bury It In order to keop room for themselves In their streets and houses? j Then, again, there U the mystery of the Etruscan Inscriptions. These In scriptions are fairly numerous, but hitherto they have proved to be utter ly undecipherable. The Etruscan Is the only dead language that hns defied Investigation. Considered ns a lan guage, nothing could seem more Im probable than the hleroglphlcs of the Egyptians, but Egyptologists can read tlicin with such ease that almost any given series of hieroglyphics can bo read In three or four ways by an equal number of rival Egyptologists. Any language more utterly Impossible at first glance than the Assyrian arrow headed language could not well he Imagined, but there aro many learned men who can read, write nnd sjieak arrowhead with facility. And yet no man can make the least senwo of the writings left by the Etruscans, al though they are written In Uoiuan characters. All that we know of the Etruscans si-cms unreasonable and preposterous. Naturally this makis t hem fnscluat lug to every one who delights in mystery and tin solution of puzzles. Putnam' Magazlue.
