it is very likely that no amount of whipping
will torce him TO 90. The first thing which
should be done Is TO ascertain III the load as too
heavy, if the harness is easy if there ara stones
in the hoofs, or if anything frightened the
animal; sometimes a little patience and pattjn,
VIII be snfhcient, and at any rate will be better
than any amount of fageilation. There are
also some simple devices which are some
times effective. The writer hereof has seen a
horse induced to move on. and that, too after
he had been severely beaten, by covering hi.
eyes and breathing into his nostrits In this in
stance the operator simply placed his hands AZ
closely as possible over the animals ewes. and
breathed two or three times into one of his mas
trils. Another method which we cannot youcb
for personally is told in a narrative form, CON
corning a horse, ridden by a groom which re
fused TO pass certain place, rearing and plung-
ing in such way as to endanger the lives 81
both horse and rider. Presently a spectator al
the scene walked up to the groom and said: al
think, my man. you are NOT taking the proper
methOd 70 make the horse 60; allow me- if Won
please, to show yOu a trick worth Knowing"
well, said the groom, Iii you can make him
60, it's more than / can" The first speak,r
then took piece of whip-cord aud tied II will a
finn knot to the end Of the animal s ear WHICH he
bent gently down, fastening the end of The str,ny
to the check buckle of the bride: this done he
patted the horses neck once or twice, ani
said" Now, let me see you 90 quietly home
like good horse" The horse moved ON n,
gently as if nothing had happened Probable
neither OF these devices has any especial yirtne
In itself, but each of them involves a certain
amount OF gentle treatment, and certain mapin-
uiations to which the horse is unaccu.tomai
Ii either plan should be resOrted to in a violent
manner, aud az If the covering of the ewes, or
the tying OF the cord were intended as a coerciye
measure, very likely the horse would remain
obstinate ard savage. If properly ami kindly

the estimates are charged with 800 tbaler:
though the officers name is not to be found in
tue army list. The mystery has given rise 10
many humorous but none the less violent attacks
from the Progresssts, who scented in the item
one OF the numerous false preteuses by which
governme mt was supposed to obtain funds The
stuffed captain" who was again made the
subject Of q fierce attack in the latest fight over
the budget, turns out 10 be no other than his
majesty himself, by his imperial dignity CAPTAIN
Of his own first foot guards. He does not, how

but pays them regularly toward the support OF

which, Ike Frederick the Great, he has Q con-
