RACING WITH THE GIRLS.

The Kirghiz Tartars have horse races,
from twenty to thirty miles in length. The
Winner, who accomplishes the distance at
the rate of eighteen or twenty miles an
hour, sometimes receives eight Or nine
horses as a prize. Occasionally, when there
is a holiday, the girls mount the swiftest
horses they can borrow, and challenge the
men to q race.
A girl gallops across the steepe-prairie,
we would call it, pursued by a horseman,
who strives to place his hand round her
waist. she doing her best to prevent him by
hitting him across the head with a whip. If
the man does not succeed, he is still more
unfortunate. For she gallops round him,
and SO belabors him that not unfrequently
he tails from his horse, and is saluted by the
hootings and laughter of the crowd. But IL
he places his hand round her waist, she sur
renders at once, and they ride off together.
Among the Turkomans the question as to
which is to marry the p~rettiest girl is often
decided in a similar manner. The young
lady. mounted on the swiftest horse, and al
lowed a good start, is followed by her ad-
mirers. She avoids those whom she dis.
likes, and manages to tt row herself in the
way of the favored lover. The moment SHE
she is caught. she becomes the wife OF the
captor, and goes with him to his tent.

HOUSES M THIN GS.

In an article with the above title, in
.Sc,ibnea. for June, DR.. Holland writes as
follows: The mistake of this era IN the his
tory of "household art and home decora-
tion.' lies it seems to us, in the attempt to
do too much with furniture. Ruskin, III one
of his books, distinguishes between building
and architecture. There are certain struc-
lures in which architecture should never be
attempted. A grain elevator, a storehouse,
a barn, these are buildings, and architecture
is out of place in them. There is no more
reason why they should be beautiful, than
there is why a meal-sack should be Dealtl-
full. or a wneelbarrow, or q coal-cart. 80 1t
seems to us that there may be, and that
there are. certain items of furniture which
we may ~legitimately excuse for the duty OF
picturesqeness. If our carpets are less beau
tiful than rugs upon bare floors, ii furnaces
are less interesting than open tires, II the
old-fashioned wasil-bowl and pitcher are
more picturesque than the plumbers subsl-
tute. what of it? In which direction shall
we make orr sacrifices? Toward comfort
and convenience, or toward the picturesque
ness of ruder times and smaller means? We
advocate comfort and convenience, and
leave others to do as they choose. The mod
erf1 advocacy of beauty, i'll connection Will
all articles OF furniture and household con-
yenience, reminds one of the child who in.
sists on making play of everything, who
cannot take a mouthful OF food, or TO al
act of service, without making it in some
way a source Of amusement.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-06-21

10 come to the practical point, a home
may be interesting without being more than
moderately beautiful, and may be more
than moderately beautiful without being in
teresting at all. If we rely entirely upon
furniture for the interest of a house,-if we
make furniture picturesque at the price OF
comfort and conveniences, our homes may
be made interesting in a moderate way,
provided we follow ont our individual ideas,
and do not fall back upon the conventional
isms of the manufacturers. But the most
interesting things in a house should never
be it's furniture. Given convenient furnl-
ture, that shall be picturesque when con-
%venient, the question whether a home shall
be greatly interesting relates mainly to 9th
err things-to books. pictures objects OF art,
bric-a-brac. and treasures of various sorts,
in fact or in association. We can point to
homes whose furniture attracts no attention
whatever, but which are absorbingly inter-
esting through the artistic products OF its
members. The more the culture and taste
of cultured and tasteful people are expressed
in their homes, through various modes and
forms of art, the more interesting those
homes will be; and the more q guest Is
compelled to forget furniture, except as 1t
answers to the higher harmonies of the
| house. the better. The best things OF an
interesting home are never bought of q fur
niture dealer, though the most beautiful
may be.

The elopement of Lieut.. Kalands, an Or
icer of the Russian fleet that was then at
San Francisco, with Miss Jennie Burdick, II
belle of that city, was published widely
enough to be still remembered. Lately the
boatman who rowed the pair across the bay
to Mare Island, in their flight, sued kalands
for pay, having been unable to collect any
by ordinary means. A Judgment was OBJ
tanned, and as the lieutenant was soon to
depart with his vessel, the sheriff decided to
arrest him. A capture was effected after u
long chase, for Kalands drove rapidly away
in a carriage at sight of the officer, and only
surrendered when he saw arevolver pointed
at him at short range. lie spent several
days in prison, and was released on the AS
surance by the Russian Consul that the
debt would be paid.

IN the topic we have taken for a subject this

4 word is but a tritle but God said, let

A word is but a trifle; but when the order

was heard the sound of a shot that "went
round the world" and the echo has not yet
died away.
AS in the arts and sciences the simplest
things have given rise to discoveries and in
~ventions whose immense influence cannot be
computed, so a single word OF simple mean-
inc sometimes changes the current of a hui
man life.
1t is a seed planted by the wayside that is
to grow up a fruitful tree or a poisonous
vine.
A simple, trifing act Of Kindness, though
forgotten the moment after by the donor Is
like bread cast upon the waters, that shall
return after many days. 1t will accomplish
its mission though the one that performed
it may have forgotten it altogether.
Aud. oh! to think that in our daily walks
of lite, and in each ones sphere OF action,
how many such opportunities there are Is
there a stumbling block in the way OF your
neighbor and you can, if you will, remove
it? Then remember that the lesson which
to him is teaching the great truth That OBJ
stacles constantly arise, is meant also 1ol
you, as a test of your good will toward your
fellow man. Is II walking in the wrong
path, and do you, knowing it, still hold your
peace? Is he asking some little help tina

The interesting thing about Miss Caro-
line Sulliyant, a Boston bride, is given as
follows: "When the Grand Duke Alexis
visited this country the first times he was
fortunate enough to meet Miss Sullivant at Il
ball, and the queenly beauty OF the bright
and lovely girl entirely satisfied even his
p,rincely ideas. In fact, so sincere and earn
est was the young Duke in his admiration
that before he left the country he wrote to
| Miss Sullivant's father and respectfully
asked for his daughters picture in order to
preserve the finest type Of American beauty
that he had seen. The request was hon
ored."

oh. We Tears.''

Here is a story illustrative of the fact
that tears are a powerful weapon ID the
hands of a matrimOnially inclined
modern Niobe:
There was a Southern merchant, a
handsome, dashing fellow, who aston
ished all his relatives a few years ago by
marrying a very plain girl, the sister OF
his business partner. The marriage
turned out reasonably happy, but it has
ALWAYS remained a mystery to the
society bellies, who were ready to fall
into his arms at a word. 1t was tears
(andnOt " idle tears y that trapped him.
One evening he called at his partners S
house and found only the young lady at
home. Very arfuIly she ledthe cOnyer-
satiOn to her own affairs, and told him
that she was perfect slave to her sister,
tyranized over and i'll treated, and that
life had become such a burden to her
that she should rid herself Of it unless
she could change her home. The Yls-
itOr tried to comfort her, but IN vain.
Marriage was far from his thoughts
then, and he had no love to give any
where. NiObe's tears fell faster and
faster, and at last they came IN hyster-
icaI torrents. His ejaculatiOns Of sym
pathy were in vain, when she cried:
t.Oh where shaIlI go2 Who viii give me
a home?' "I would if 1 dared offer
it, poor girl" said the male victim, and
quick as lightning came the response:
" What would my sister say II you mar
ried meT' What could the man do
under such circumstances? )? A tOlerably
fair face was lying on his bosom, a pair
of grateful, loving eyes (she did love
him dearly were looking up into his
own. and delicate little hand had
sought and found his. He did what
any disengaged gentleman would have
been likely to do, pressed his suit, Sc
cured her unreIuctant consent, Informed
her sister of it, married her, and did his
best to make her happy. She, in turn,
made him a good wife. Little by little
he discovered her strategem-but he
never told his wife of it.

Badly Frightened.

The effect of the imagination upon
one of a nervous temperament, who had
read stories of men dying from the bite
of the tarantula, is told by the Sacra-
mentO Union:
A party Of Sacramentans returned
home last evening from a trip to the
mountains, bringing with them two deer
skins, one wildcat skin, and few other
trophies, including two tarantulas-dead
ones.
The tarantulas, for a lack of a better
receptacle, were inclOsed in a cigar box
when caught about ten days ago, and
this box, carefully tied up, was deposited
beneath the seat of the vehicle. While
they were iolting through the canyon,
the seat slipped, and the two men Occu-
pving it found themselves dropped sud
denly into the bottom of the wagon.
One of them struck the cigar box,
crushed it, and Immediately felt that
something had hurt him. A glance
showed him that he was resting on the
tarantulas, and with a yell of, " Pm
stung,. Pm stungp he jumped from the
wagon, and, dashing his hands behind
him, he ran wildly along the road, then
turned and made for the wagon, shout
ing to his amazed and greatly alarmed
companions:
Whisky Quick Pm dying! Why
don't you hurry"
The other three meR-there were four
in the +party-reached simultaneously
for the demijOhn, broke of the cork in
their haste to pull it out, and in an ef-
fort to knock off the neck of the demi-
John to save time, broke the entire con-
Germ, and nearly all the contents were
lost.
About a pint Of the liquid was saved,
however, and the person who was bitten
swallowed it. Soon he began to feel bet
ter. and eventually felt so remarkably
well that it was evident the poison had
been forced to sUCCUmb.
Then the work of strengthening up the
contents of the wagon was commenced,
and the tarantula box was carefully
lifted out and examined, when, behold J
the " bugs" were found perfectly life
less, and 50 dry and stiff that it was evi-
dent that they had been dead more than
twenty-fOur hours, while two tacks in
the broken cover of the box conveyed
very god hint as to the nature Of the in
iurv which the bold hunter had de-
cIared to be tarantula bites.
