LILY’S VENTURE.
Our heroine was somewhat inappropriately
med, though she might be classed in the
rose spotted Japan li: y order, by which may
be inferred that; she “as far from being a
pale ethereal flower. _ ~r
At the advanced age of ’ltisho was begin-
ning to feel quite grown up; and the fact per-
plexed her, particularly as she failed'to dis-
cover nny means of broadening her exist-
ence, which seemed to grow narrower as she
grew older. Her education “as limited to
the advantages the village school supplied,
and she had read all the boolrsavailable, from
“Pilgrim’s Progress” to the latest novel pro-
curablc, and was still sigliing for new worlds
to conquer. Possessed of refined tastes, and
the usual youthful enthusiasm for everything
pretty and interesting, she was yet hedged in
to narrow limits by the very vexing question
of ways and- means. Her mother was a
widow, and not over strong, whose limited
income just enabled her to keep up the family
credit, as far as external appearance went.
And Miss Lily’s pretty dresses were in no-
wise the least illustration of her mother's
- tasteful ingenuity.
But mammn could render no assistance in
devising some source of pecuniary profit suit-
able for her daughter while she remained un-
der the home roof, anything that would take
her from her protection being an absurdity
not to be dreamed of.
“My daughter will have to wait until her
ship comes in, or till the fairy prince ar-
rives,” momma said. But she heaved asecret
sigh, ueverthelem, and added, “Don’t be
thinking, dear, of all the impossible things
you would like to powers, but rather of how
much you have to enjoy._"
“That was all very well,” thought Lily, “for
old people and ,invalids, but with youth and
health there must be something to expend her
surplus earnings on, which she would yet dis-
cover.”
The March winds were enrolling in a bois-
terous and noisy fashion about the house,
making the cozy sitting room seem unusually
cheerful.
Lily was scanning the weekly news; grand-
pa, with a look of calm content, was contem-
plating the distant mountains, possibly trying
to peer into the still farther and sunnler “be-
yond,” into which his many old time friends
had varnished.
She laid down the paper with the decisive
audible comment, “That‘s just what I’ll dol" '
“ What are you just going to do?” said the
silver haired grandsire, recalled again to the
realities of time.
But Lily was not just then prepared to
men “My plans,” she said, with respect-
ful dignity, “are not very definite yet.”
“ ‘A man of words and not of deeds is like
a garden full of wwds,’ you know;” and then
she flew up stairs, to think undisturbed in the
solitude of her own room, humming as she
went a favorite melody.
The doings of Mia Lily commenced to be
very queer thenceforward, and mamma
feared she had taken leave of her senses.
Her first absurdity was to hastily arrange
for a visit to Uncle John’s, and the next one
was to mount the truck wagon beside a farm
hand to accomplish the journey, having
argued down mamma’s objections, as she was
nearly always able to do. ‘
And when, two days later, she was left at
the house at an early hour, laden with u. pile
of books and pamphlets, mamma seriously
demanded an explanation of such proceed-
lugs.
“I had an idea, mamnia mine!” said Lily,
“and, not wishing to bother you with it, have
consulted with uncle and auntie about my
prospective gardening scheme.”
“Your what?” said mamma, in dismay.
“Why, I’vo road that women can do it, and
I think there will be no harm in trying it.
Uncle John thinks I might in a small way,
and has offered to help me, and I am going to
read up the subject. Here are these illus-
trated catalogues, that contain much in.
formation, and then this “Gardening :0.-
Profit” is just what bite me, for it is the
profits that I am after, first and foremost,
and the sentiment of the thing afterward."
“Sentimentl” echoed mamma. “Asif sen-
timent could be associated with onions and
cabbages and dirt. Have you yet considered
the labor involved? Who is going to weed
and tend this this garden? And who will
manage all the details of your elaborate
scheme?” ‘
“Myself—Miss Lily Addiugtcn, some avail-
able boys in the neighborhood, with possible
favors from Uncle John besides.”
“Well,” said momma, resignedly. “I shall,
not oppose you. It will perhaps prove a ser-
viceable lesson to you; and then when you
have tried the enterprise to your satisfaction,
and have grown as sallow and yellow as a
tiger lily, you will perhaps be thoroughly
cured of your mercenary schemes, and con-
clude to let well enough alone.”
“Thanks, mamma dear, your objections
shall prove astimulant; I am bound to dis-
If you will be good
enough to furnish me with some long wristed
linen mitts—you know you have the pattern
you made my last summer’s jersey mitts by—
and some cool, wide sunbonnets. I’ll take the
risks with my complexion.
“Aunt Em gave me that idea; you see she
anticipated your objections. And my navy
blue flannel, properly shortened, will be just
the thing for dewy mornings.
“And if my ‘ship’ should come in laden
with strawberries, green peas and early veg-
etables, it will be none the lea welcome.
Who knows what lots of [luxuries they may
bring us. In time we may have a library
and possibly a piano.”
Some one in the doorway with silver hair
repeated: “A girl of words and not of deeds
is like a garden full of weeds. You should
have counted grandpa in among the relief
corps”
“I shall be happy to,” said the rosy maiden.
“I didn’t think you would guess my conun-
drum so soon But,” smilingly, “the enter-
prising firm of We, Us & Co. don’t mean to
know what a garden full of weeds is. .
“First thing, I am going to start some sage
and other plants in the house in shallow
boxes, or more convenient substitutes. And
then we will have ready some frames outside
to use later that can be covered up on cold
days and nights. Uncle told me also how I
could raise tomatoes, pepper plants and thou
immense double green rm called cabbages
for sale with very little expense.”
Manama looked inexpressibly shocked, but
Lily threw her arms about her neck, gave
hera hearty kiss and called her “a darling,
proud, little momma,” and then went about
her work, into which she infused ,all the pent
up energy that had been in reserve so Icing.
Her mother’s caution and grandpei’s en-
couragement kept her, as she suit , “properly
balanced in her enthusiasm.” A very impor-
tant factor in the success of any enterprise.
Uncle John, who was a market gardener,
was as good as his word; and having studied
up from some reliable authorities, she felt
quite well posted as to the proper methods of
cultivating esculent dainties. .
The neighbors across the way became _in-
quisitive at sight' of the unusual farming
preparations in progress; a strawberry bed
followed in the wake of the plow and bar-
row, and newly planted raspberry and black-
berry canes gave promise of a future in-_
come.
Grandpa’s opinions and the books differed
somewhat on technical points; butvhis assist-
once was valuable in many ways, particu-
larly as he shared quite heartily in his favor-
ite grandchilds interest.
The long rows of green peas and snap
beans, planted at intervals of two or three
weeks, promised an exhaustless succession;
and there were crisp lettuce and cucumbers,
beets and spinach, that went on the market
gardener’s load to the city very early in the
morning, and these were little ripples. eyen
though they brought only wholesale prices
in the sea of fortune, the forerunners of the
larger waves on which her ship was steadily
approaching. Miss Lily developed many
business like traits, and Uncle John was
justly proud of his protege. ‘ .
When her particular branch of industry
was fully established, there came orders from
local boarding houses and individual summer
residents, that brought better prices. 80 that
by the end of the first autumn her carefully
kept account book showed that, besndes dis-
charging her indebtednem, she had some-
thing laid aside for the coming season’s_ex-
penditure, and .had still left quite a little
pocket money to be independent on.
All this, besides paying the wages of a boy,
which he faithfully earned by his devotion to
his pretty employer, and for the occasional
assistance of some poor children in the
-vicinity, who were glad touvail themselves
of the opportunity of obtaining light work.
All through her work she proved systematic.
thorough and persevering, and after a trial
of two years, even mamma voted it a success.
For with mamma’s pride, her own com-
mendable love of the beautiful, and the em-
ployment of the earliest hours of the day for
her busiest work, she had kept her original
charms, and added to them the sparkling at
tractions that an active life lends the face.
The friends who criticised most ccnsoriously
the propriety of her ventures are now envious
of its popularity, the difficulties being re-
hearsed confidentially, and the successes ap-
parent to every one.
One listless maiden, unreasonably jealous
of Lily’s popularity and her public spirited
activity in instituting their semiannual flower
shows, rashly ventured an unfavorable com-
ment in the presence of sonic ultra fashion-
ables, but received such a rebuke from Miss
Lily’s self constituted champions that she felt
impressed with the idea that active indcpcn~
deuce was held in greater repute than genteel
dependence.
The interior of Mrs. Addington‘s house has
been much modernized. The library has
grown so rapidly as to require a handsome
bookcase, while winter music lessons and a
hired piano point to the ultimate possession
of that luxury.
Lily is smart enough to know that too
many things at a time cannot be done well,
and her summer time occupations has little
rivalry other than reading and recreative
arts. Ono satisfactory luxury is that of a
tiny rustic pavilion, embowercd with honey-
suckle, clematis and climbing monthly roses,
and from this watch tower shc overlooks her
work, plans. resin and enjoys the fragrance
of the well chosen variety of easily cultivated
flowers that bloom in trim beds over the turf
in front of the garden, making as pleasing a
combination of the useful and ornamental as
is Miss Lily herself.
The elegant Mr. Aubrey, so the gossips
afilrm, finds it quite as delightful a retreat,
and quite frequently. avails himself of its
fragrant shade.
It is such an excellent excuse that be per-
sonally presents himself to deliver his mother’s
previously ordered fruit, or often assists in
picking it, to assure Mme. Aubrey that they
were fresh from the vines, at least so the un
dersized boy, with very large ears, had over-
heard him say to Miss Lily.
“And that artful girl,” so an envious critic
says, “is so thoroughly disinterested in so
lavishly furnishing Mrs. Aubrey with flow-_
ers, that it is no wonder she should eulogizo
her as the most intelligent and tastefully
dressed girl in town.”
But as the rich Mrs. Aubrey is not the only
recipient of like floral favors, the edge of this
sai'casm is blunted. Some. unfortunntcs‘ in
the railroad quarter could attest to the same
generosity. '
But, unconscious of the criticism of her
motives, she enjoys her active life, with its
increased opportunities, and enters lienrtily
into everything, from lawn tens to church
fairs, while not neglecting her own immedi-
ate duties, and hosts of real true friends were
ready to express their regret at the prospect
of losingso universal a favorite, when sur-
mises became certainties,
Mammn. was asked to accept Mr. Aubrey
in place of the fairy prince. '
But Uncle John withheld his congratula-
tions, for the reason, he said. “That Lily was
giving up a good businem fora hazardous un-
dertaking, and Mr. Aubrey would assume the
doubtful reputation of marrying a ‘market
gardener.’ ”
“A reputation,” replied Mr. Aubrey, tum:
ing to Uncle John’s wife, “which Mrs. Harris
will agree with me In being happy to enjoy.”
If this remark did not win Uncle John
over, the following one did, in which he as-
serted, with afond glance at his fiance, “I
shall be proud to prove that my future wife
is not of the wax doll order.”
“By which you may infer,” said Lily,
roguishly, “that I endure a great deal of sun
without melting. " '
"0r fading either,” came from Uncle John,
in banter-ing suggestion of her increasingly
rosy color.
But Lily protested that his remarks were
altogether too personal, and appealed to
Aunt Em’s opinion on the subject, which
coincided with her own.
Whereupon he offered the rmolution, that
“As she ‘ had heretofore shown such good
judgment, her decision should be indorsed in
matters matrimonial, and he hoped she
would not prove a tiger lily in temper in' her
new relations, any more than she had copied
its color in thevpast.” . ' .
Mamma understood the double application.
of his raillery, and acknowledged it with one
of her quiet smiles.
“That'fashionable color our city girls on-
deavor to cultivate as a proof of the extent of
their rustication,” observed Mr. Aubrey,
“but which I fail to admire ' in its deepest
shades. My summer's souvenir will not be
so evanescent, and assured on that point no
other possibilities will alarm me.”
This last graceful remark must; have been
intended for mamma’s ears, as the two other
ladies were admiring Lily’s fine chrysanthe-
mum collection, and comparing notes on
flowers in general with so much enthusiasm
they were unaware of having an audience,
till a cheery voice behind them was heard to
say: “Pomonaisloth to resign her scepter!
The maiden is lost in the gardener."—Elaine

THEIR OCCUPATION GONE.
Washerwomen Suffer Because of the In-
crease of Steam Laundries.
Gradually step by step the washerwoman
has found her occupation gone. The increase
of steam laundries has driven her to other
means of livelihood and where she once lived
in opulence on the proceeds of clothes washed
at the rate of 81.50 and $2 per dozen she now
works by the day or does housework. John
Chinaman also has had much to do with this
worthy’s downfall, but his prices are far in
excess of either steam laundries or old fash-
ioned washer-woman. During the past few
years many improvements have been made
in laundry apparatus. A greater part of the
city of Troy is given up to manufacturing
concerns which turn out annually hundreds
of thousands of dollars’ worth of engines,
whizurs, starchers and other machinery used
in rapid washing of dirty linen.
In Brooklyn today there are no lea than
800 steam laundries as against three four
years ago. Many Brooklynites a few years
ago thought that to obtain clean collars and
cuffs it was necessary to send them to Troy
by express each week. A number of firms
made small fortunes catering to the whims of
these capricious gentlemen, and although it
was claimed that laundry was sent up the
river weekly, by some it was thought to be
washed in New York. A visit to a Troy
steam laundry is productive of interest. Each
customer has a private mark, and although
the clothes of a hundred customers are thrown
into a vat and boiled, they are when starched
and dried sorted out in separate and correct
piles. *
' Brooklynltes were at first Inclined to look
upon steam laundries with suspicion. They
contended, and with a good deal of truth,
that in passing thi'oughsthe machinery the
collars and cuffs become worn and frayed.
Acids, - too, were sometimes used, and thus
had a tendency toeat thellnsn. Thema-
chinery used at first wascrudo. Button holes
were frequently torn out, while occasionally
a collar would emerge from the process de-
void of it: outside linen." One of . the most in-
tersting pieces of machinery to be seen in a
steam laundry is the whimr. This machine
which dries the clothes, makes 1,000‘ revolu-
tion: a minute, and is similar to the sugar re-
finer in its method of operation. The only
hand work done is performed in the starching
room. Here women are employ .' each be-
ing seated behind a bowl of starch into which
theyde the collarsandcufis. Inthesorting

ing excellent memories. are employed The

roomscfasteamlaundryisgood. While
their wages are not very high the women are
paid from 85 to 810 per week, while the men
receive from $6 to 020-=Brooklyn Eagle.
Game in Northern Africa.
If it will give an additional test to his
- “mountaineering” to carry a gun, he may
findan abundance of game to exercbo his
skill. Anold French ofllcer, who came into
our compartment, told me that a daring hun-
tor may, or might not loiig ago, have ,had a
chance of shooting a panther, or‘ even now
and then of stirring upmAfi-ican lion. I
remembered that
brought to Rome for the combats in the Col-
iseum But! had supposed that they were
all as dead as the gladiators whom they
fought. And yet a Hungarian gentleman.
whowasa fellow traveler, told me that no
longer than fifteen years ago two of his
cousins spent three months in these very
mountains, In company with the famous J uleI .
Gerard, hunting for lions. Butthis royal
game has nearly disappeared since the gov-
eminent offered a reward for every lion that
was killed. But there are still panther-a
which sometimes come about the villages,
and snap up the dogs. Nor need the most
adventurous huntsman despise this as inferior
game, for, said my informant, “the panthers
grow to enormous size, some of those which
have been shot measuring almost as Icing as
tigers."
In default of lions or paiithers, an ordinary
sportsman may have to content himself with
shooting monkeys or wild boars, both of
which still flourish in numbers sufficient to
satisfy all comers.

FACTS ABOUT THE MOST VALUA-
BLE OF THE LION’S POSSESSIONS.
Extent of Great Britain's Asiatic I’os-
sousions—The Governor General
Ills Power—Advantages of British. Iiule.
and
Caste and Its Results.
Let us glance at India amomcntiind at-
tempt to comprehend it in a column. It
bears some resemblance to that part‘oi‘ South
America. south of the Colombian states in
form, and has a river system somewhat like
that of South America, but with the addition
of rivers ,on the west coast as well as on the
east. India has 4,000 miles of sea coast, is
nbout,1,900 miles long and 1,700 miles broad.
It may, therefore, be compared to all the
country between Denver and Boston and be-
tween Duluth and New Orleans. It has 200,-
000,000 of inhabitants, and the British are
extending rather than restricting it, and
have recently annexed Burniah, which is
supposed to afford them an overland connec-
tion with China. ‘
To explain all of this country in its grea'.
number of states would transcend both my
space and your memory, but we may compre-
bend the way the British have mastered the
government of this region the more easily.
They have a governor general, who repre-
sents the queen, and he gets a salary of $125,-
000 a year. or two years and ahalf of the
salary of the president of the United States.
Besides, he hasa large allowance in having
no newspaper press to bark at him. In the
British cabinet he is called the secretary of
state for India, and he has a council around
him of fifteen persons, of whom the larger
portion have been ten years living in India.
It is needless to say that they are all British.
Every councilor stays in office ten years.
The laws for allIndia are made by the gov-
ernor general, who lives out in that country
most of the time, and has his'own council,
and he appoints the governors of the other
states, except Madras and Bombay, which
are so important that the English politicians
have gobbled up their lieutenant governor-
ships.‘
The governor general is a close corporation.
He lives at Calcutta, and has only six men in
hiscouncil, and the sixth man is the com-
mander of the British army in India. The
_ British keep out there more than 60,000 men
of British birth and race in arms, besides 180,-
000 soldiers recruited from the people of
India. The British do not countenance in any
way interference with their government by
self appointed censors or critics or agitators.
Having taken possesion of India to do the
most good for Great Britain, they have ex-
tended to that country nothing but justice,
but they have not given to it liberty in the
J effersonian sense of making every man the
tribunal for his own grievance. The British
governmentisstsrn, and particularly stern
with the high native princes, compelling
them to come up with their taxation and
revenue. The chief advantage the British
have over the great hordes of India is in this,
uniform justice which they make a portion
of their policy, which is so much superior to
native justice that the natives do not desire
to return to the despotic condition of their
forefathers. Besides, the British are stem
military rulers, and have no sentiment in
favor of disorderly persons.
You might ask the question and easily
answer it, as to what official was the most
important In each of the British districts of
India. Of course he is the collector. In
order that he shall collect well he is also a
magistrate. He has from 500,000 to 1,000,-
000 of people under him, and his powers are
absolute. He holds a tribunal and adminis-
ters sentences while he extort: money.‘ He
has a little band of deputies and assistants
around him, both British and native. ‘ Subor-
dinate to him is a district judge, who hears
what few appeals are permitted At the
great cities are special tribunals to hear ap-
peals, but not many appeals from the natives.
The British population in India, which is
merely of the mercantile class, existing there
for the purpose of saving riches, looks with a
stern eye upon the government of their own
people, and has refused on occasion to carry
into existence laws passed in the Gladstonian
spirit of sentiment and equality. To this day
a Briton in India belongs to the highest caste
in every respect; he will not submit to be
judged by judges made of the native, people.
If his government undertakes to compel him
to acquiwcence in its sentimental laws he does
like the Spanish volunteers in . Cubes-threat-
ens to revolutionize India itself, and make of
it another Australia or Canada. ,
Nearly 300,000,(Xi0 of people in India have
been subjected to a small foreign domination
for about two centuries. Roman having any
human interest in any other man of difierent
caste, the foreigner has insinuated himself be-
tween these castes and has got the nation
down and is tearing out its pocket book.
Like the more favored nations, the people of
India live intownsaudvilla‘ga, and thisbasis
of town government has survived'ail‘ sorts of
revolutions. Local self government has never
been taken away from the people, who still
keep up their police, have judlei of the peace,
repair the roads and maintain worship. The
people work very hard with most inferior im-
plements, and that is why they have never yet
done much with the United States, which
works with both in; brain and its hands.
India. has long ~maintained a great com-
merce, because its products are in use by all
the favored nations. Our opium esters and
' morphine folks look to India for supplies.

One Sunday 'afternoou a‘domn of them were

he gesticulated with great freedom. Hiscom-

fucius. He looked driedup and remote, with
no semblance of mobility in his features.
Suddenly a shadow fell on the group. The
young chatterer came to a sudden stop. His
gesture stiffened, and there was twitch in the
corner of the left eye of the c‘temporary of

he assumed a supercilious air. Then he ejacu-

TRIALS OF A DRUGGIST’S CLERK.
[Io llIust Prescribe for Poor Patients as
“'0“ as Compound Prescriptions.
To be successful in these times a druggist
must be something of a physician, or at least
pretend to some knowledge of medicine. It
is no longer sufficient that he should corn-
pound the prescriptions of doctors; hennnst
be able to prescribe as weld. Few realize the
number of persons who apply to him each
day for remedies. The writer was sitting in
a drug store on Sixth avenue recent] y wait-
ing for a prescription to be made up, when
an old woman entered and, approaching the
counter, said in a husky voice:
“Can’t you tell me what will cure this '
trouble I have in my throat? Seems some-
times as I’d go oil? with it.”
Numerous remedies were suggested, but she
had tried them all. The clerk, however, who
was experienced in the business, was equal to
the occasion. He began by asking, doctor
fashion, tho exact nature of her ailment, nod-
ding his head wisely at each answer she gav‘c
him. ‘When she had finished he said in a. con-
fident. manner:
“I guess we can fixyou all right. Be seated
one moment, and I will mix you a medicine
that will make you feel ten years younger. "
He then poured a variety of fluids from
several bottles on the shelves into a phial,
shook them well together, adjusted to. label
with written directions as to how the medi-'
cine should be taken, wrapped it in paper
and handed it to the old lady, who walked out
of the store with an air of great satisfaction.
“That old lady in a type of many who come
here every day,” he observed. “I ‘do not
know why they place so much confidence in
the judgment of a druggist, but they do,
nevertheless. The practice of physicians
must suffer by it. Why, there is one old
gentleman who never thinks of going to a
regular pactitioner to cure his gout, but
whenever an attack approaches, limps around
here and takes whatever prescription we
give him with perfect faith. Of course a
druggist can tell by the prescriptions be com-
pounds for physicians what is good to give
in many cases, but he cannot. be expected to
make a diagnosis of disorders and recom-
mend the proper remedies.
“In cases where peeple are poor and cannot
afford to pay a doctor’s bill, we are only too
willing to do the best we can for them. A
great many, such people depend entirely upon
our judgment, except in extreme cases. But
those who can afford the expense should go
to a regular practicing physician. ”—New
York Mail and Express.
A Story of Ulysses Grant.
Gen. Averill, the Union cavalry leader,
tells an interesting story of the first time he
ever saw Ulysses S. Grant. It was in 1857 ,
while Gen. Averill was on his way to join his
regiment in New Mexico. When he got four-
teen miles or so west of St. Louis, leave was
given him to go back for a few days. He had
to wait nearly an hour at Kirkwood for a re-
turning train, and he passed the time chatting
with Lieut. Craig and his wife on the porch
of their cottage. Craig was the commissai‘y
of the expedition.
While they were sitting there there came
up the country road which skirted the rail-
way a single horseman, wearing a blue over-
coat, such as private soldiers wear, and a
black felt hat rather broken and worn. In
his hand he carried a small black snake whip,
which he applied to the pot bellied more he
was riding. The animal’s mania and tail, it
was noticed. were full of burrs. The brown-
ish red face of the stranger was covered with
n. stubby, sandy beard. When he reached
the gate be halted, dismounted and fastened
his animal to the picket fence. Lieut. Craig
went down to meet him. After an earnest
conversation the man uiifastened his animal,
slowly mounted and rode away. When the
lieutenant returned to the porch he remarked,
“Averill, would you believe that that man
had every belonged to the army?"
“ch,” was the reply, “he might have ban
on old soldier. ”
“No,” said Craig, “I mean as an officer and
graduate of the military institute.” '
“He doesn’t look it now,” Averill rejoined.
“Who is he?”
“That’s old Ulysses Grant of the Fourth in-
fantry,” the lieutenant answered. “He
wanted to be employed as commissary clerk
to drive the beef cattle and issue the rations
while we are crossing the plains. I couldn’t
employ him."—.New York Sun.
Different; Styles of Riding.
Few people who have not given the matter
their attention are at all aware of the numer-
ous styles of riding deemed the best by the
adherents of each and the wide variation
between the different types. The variety of
horse furniture is as great as the different;
styles of riding, and the advocates of each
are able to see little good in any other. The
English fox hunter rides on a flat saddle, with
short stain-ups, stepped well forward; the
Arab uses even a shorter stirrup, but rides a
deep saddle, while our horse Indians, as fine
cquestrians as can be found in the world, ride
with a. nearly straight leg,-ns do the Mexicans
and cowboys. The English saddle and seat;
is excellent for the purpose it was intended.
for riding over obstacles, when frequent falls
are inevitable, but is out of place anywhere
else, and it is absurd to see people copy the
English saddle and seat where the reasons for
it do not pertain.
For all around purposes the cavalry saddle
and seat is the best, and cavalry horseman-
ship throughout the world differs but little.
A deep saddle, a short seat, and a straight leg
give the firmest hold, and are far less fatigu-
ingto the rider. An army saddle would be
out of place in the hunting field, but scarcely
more out of place than the hunting seat in.
park riding. The wretched jiggering up and
down on a flat saddle with short stirrups,
that is so generally seen among the green
riders in Forest park, is at once offensive and
ridiculous to the eye of every good horseman,
and a very little reasoning should show those
who practice it its absurdity—Cavalry Offi-
cer in Globe Democrat.
Mrs. Eimnet’s 81,000 Dog.
“That’s Mrs. Emmet’s $1,000 dog,” said the
hotel clerk up at the St. James hotel the
other day. “That’s the fellow who took a
prize at the dog show.” The animal in ques-
tion was something between a water spaniel
and a. Skye terrier. It was built like a water
spaniel, though somewhat reduced in size,
but its long hair had the silky quality and
silver color of the terrier. Its eyes were a
beautiful brown, but the nose had the broken
and flattened appearance characteristic of
the pug. Altogether it wasa curious mix-
ture, but the general effect was rather pleas-
ing than otherwise. Both Emmet and his
wife are fond of dogs, and the comedian can
afford to pay fancy prices for them. Em-
met’s popularity has waned in certain parts
of the country. Butaman who has about
$150,000 in bonds safely stowed away in a
safe deposit company can view the waning
with considerable philosophy.—New York
Mail and Express.
From Barbarism to Civilization.
Some twenty-five years ago a photographer
of Chicago, being in Arizona. one. vacation
trip, found and rescued from on Apache
camp an abandoned Indian male infant of
full blood. The abandonment would seem to
have implied no very promising origin of the
child in his own tribe; but the photographer
became possessed with a. desire to take the boy
home with him and adopt him. In spite of
warnings that the child would prove a viper
in his bosom, he carried out his intention, and
reared the boy, to whom the name of Charles
Montezuma was given, as a member of his
own family. The young Apache grew up to
be in face and physique the very type of his
tribe; but he was at the some time an excel-
lent scholar and a perfect gentleman. He
graduated at the Chicago High school with
credit, and was very popular in his class,
being gentle, polite and industrious.
A recent inquiry as to Montezuma’s career
since the completion of his high school educa-
tion developed the facts that he has selected
surgery for a profession. and will graduate
from the Chicago Medical college next sum-
mer far above the average of his class; that
he is liked by his classmates, and has never
manifested any desire to resume the barbar-
ous habits of his relatives, or shown any
savage traits whatever; that he supports
himself, during his studies at the medical
college, by filling prescriptions at a Chicago
drug store, where he is looked upon as an
expert pharmacist, and that every circuun~
stance indicates that he will make a success-
