countered proceeding leisurely
along the highways of the country
at about the rate Of sixteen or
twenty miles a day.
A celebrated jockey of his time
records that his father, trainer
and owner of race-horses in a small
way of business, sent him away
when almost a child to travel the
country with a race-horse to appear
at the different race meetings, en-
ter his horse for such stakes and
matches as he thought the nag
conld win, and generally transact
such business as was incidental to
the situation. "With saddle strap
ped behind his dapper back" he did
as he was hidden, and in time be-
came jockey Of renown, Ultimate
ly settling down as a trainer him
self, lin which calling he attained
celebrity, training in his day several
winners Of the Derby and ST. Leger.
Another feature of the past may be
alluded to. A hundred years ago
the trainers Of race-horses were, as
"a general rule, the confidential
grooms Of the noblemen and gentle
men for whom they acted. Now
there are public trainers at New
market and elsewhere who make it
their business to take charge of the
horses Of anynumber of gentlemen,
and train them on terms mutually
agreed upon.

The Oossaehs.

The Cossacks are divided into
several corps-the Cossacks of the
Don, the Cossacks of the Ukraine,
the Cossacks of the Caucasus, etc.
Each Of these divisions has a chief.
who is called an Ataman, and holds
the rank Of general, and all the
Cossacks Of the empire are united
under single chief, who has the
"Ataman General" This latter
title always deyolves upon the
hereditary Grand Duke. The Cos
sack clothes and equips himself,
and his uniform and his horse be-
long to himself. He wears large,
round, low cap made of skin from
Astrakan, wide pantaloons stuffed
into his boots and reaching Just be-
low his knees, the whole covered
by kind of overcoat buttoning on
the back and having three long flaps
reaching to the feet and fastened
on the full length. On his breast
to the left and right in vertical
cases he carries six cartridges at
each side. In his belt he carries a
pionard. A baldrick hangs from
his right shoulder and passes to the
left side where it supports a long
sabre in a leather scabbard. On
his back, hanging from a bando-
leer and wrapped in case made of
goats skin, he carries his rifle. The
COssack always carries in his hand a
whip, with y short lash, which he
calls kinjal. His horse is small and
rather ugly, and though he is made
of good stuff his form is somewhat
angular. To form an idea of the
CoSsack saddle, imagine an ordi-
nary saddle upon which would be
fastened by strap a square leather
cushion about four inches high.
This is the reason that at first sight
one is SO much surprised to see this
curious-looking cavalier perched
up so high on his saddle. He
sticks on his horses back by
sticking his knees into Hle animals
sides with all his strength, which
gives the legs the appearance of a
pair Of pincers. The stirrup is an
equally curious thing. The bottom
is round and thick enough, but
from that up it resembles very much
one of those tin boxes in which
preserves are sold. 1t has been al
ready said that the Oossack's horse
is his personal property, and it may
be added that it may be added that
he turns it to business account by
hiring it ont. Since the arrival of
the troops at Kischencff they have
been the delight of the collegians,
who, for a rouble an hour, have
been enabled to make promenades
on horseback in bands on these
valiant little animals.

women az Art students
in Earis


Lucy Hooper, writing from Paris
to the New York Graphic, relative
to the opening of the Salon, SAYS:
"The American female students
have, / am told, won but few sue
cesses, a fact which does not aston
ish me in the least; for it must be
confessed that, puffery and the
praise of personal friends apart,
one hears Of but little good, sincere
work done by woman art students
in Paris.
"And it is a notorious fact, and
one to be deeply regretted, that
women, when they commence to
study art, usually begin by throw
ing such commonplace qualifca-
tions Of their sex as modesty and
refinement to the wind. When a
woman, whether young or old, mar.
ritd or single, can bring herself to
sit among crowd of young men,
and gaze calmly and unblushing
upon the naked form of a living
model, she has undoubtedly parted
with much Of the delicacy and reti-
cence that should distinguish her
nature. And that is what most of
these art students do. No matter
how young or how attractive she
may be, the would-be artist gener-
ally begins by unsexing herself, so
far as to insist upon admission to
the so-called life schools in com
pany with the male students. The
great artists in charge of these
schools at first objected; but finally,
wearied out by the persistency Of
their would-be pupils, they CON
sented-something, | suppose, on
the principle of the English Judge
in the divorce case, who, when a
witness faltered in giving some pc
culiarly indicate testimony, and
looked up at the gallery crowded
with ladies, cried, Go on, sir-eo
on-these women can stand it, and

whence they were vigorously ex-
Guided, have cut their hair short.

man to imagine that a woman who
can do such thing can be, what
by far the largest proportion of our
art"students abroad undoubtedly
are, namely, perfectly virtuous.
They cannot dissever the foolish
notion that seems to seize on so
many Of these ambitious females at
the very outset of their career that
to win distinction they must begin
by unsexing themselves from actual
immortality.
"lt is a well known fact, the re-
ports in our American papers to
the contrary, that no picture by an
American woman ever gained a
medal at the Salon. They barter
their womanly birthright of mod

GOVERNMENT CROOKEDNESS
