ditch--one-fourth of his whole
force. l believe Skobeleff looks
upon such attacks upon such posi-
tions as almost criminal, and disap-
proved highly Of the whole plan of
the attack ON Plevna; but he be-
lieves if any attack is to be made it
can only be done in this manner,
and that, although the loss of men
may be great, it is better that the
loss should be incurred and the
victory won, than to lose the half
with a certainty of defeat. Skobe-
left seems to be the only one among
the Russian generals who has
studied the American war with
profit.

hip we need frmness and solidity /;
from the knee downward and from
the hip upward, the freest pliancy.
No movement of the horse should
be so sudden, and no lift in leaping
shonld be SO great, that the thighs
may not securely retain their posi-
ton, and the body and calves their
fexibility. Rigidity of the body
implies the transmission of force to
the long end of the lever, which is
the father of the fall, while rigidity
Of the lower legs carries an uncon-
trolled impulse to the other end OF
the lever and disturbs the horse.
The absolute point of contact-the
point which never yields its grip
is at the knees only. In the leap,
and to less degree in the gallOp,
these are the constant points of
communication, and however much
the seat may be raised in a strong
leap these regulate its safe and cor
rect return.
Pliancy of the hips and freedom
of the calves are the first objects to
be sought, and it is these which it is
the most difficult for the mature be-
ginner to acquire. Much help may
be gained from a sort of calisthenic
exercise of the body, swaying from
front to rear and from side to side,
and moving the arms in all direc-
tions, retaining meanwhile a firm
seat without the action of the calves
or heels. There should be cultivated,
too, the ability to reach the toe far
forward on the horses shoulder, and
to raise the heel high against his
side without materially changing
the position of the knee. In short
the man should learn the new art
of moving his head, arms, body and
lower legs from his new point oI
attachment at the thighs and seat
with the same instructive ease and
certainty with which he has learned
to move his whole person when rest
ing on his feet, In proportion al
this suppleness has become com
plete and instructive, in that pro
portion does the man remove him
self from the condition Of a suit O
clothes stuffed with sand, whicl
would topple over with the leas
movement of the horse.

How 10 sitnHor.n.

1t is a recognized principle that
"a horseman grows from his seat"
By seat is meant the manner in
which the weight of his person re-
ceives the impulse of the horses
movement. at every step the i'm
pulse changes, and at every change,
unless the seat is a good one, the
weight is iostled and the smooth
action of the horse is disturbed. If
it is good, it is so adjusted as to re-
ceive the changing action with a
yielding resistance to the shock, and
to give no undue check to the mo-
tive power. While there must be q
certain ease Of displacement, there
must also be an ability to hold firm
to the saddle, and, after leaving it,
to return smoothly to it. The real
points of attachment should be only
from the knee upward-by the in
ner fat of the thigh. Ease of mo.
ton depends on the freedom of the
lower leg and the ready flexibility
of the loins. From the knee TO the

An ObIiging Customer.

"The best customer | ever did

up against the counter and helping
himself to another round of crack
ers and cheese, "was a gentleman

"Got any more?" he asked.

three other samples, and he bought
them, too.
"See here" said I, "you appear
to have fondness for literature.

answered. "Name your figures.

he paid me over the cash in full.

a figure twice what they were

"Let's have 'em," said the oblig-
ing man, counting out the green
backs on the table.
There was no help for it, so
passed over the articles and put the
money in my pocket with the rest.
"Hold up!" he said, as | was get
ting out of the door; "don't you

amount of it all was l went out of

horse, minus books, watch and dia-

The narrator here stopped, as if
interrupted by some powerful emo
tion, and then reached for some
more crackers and cheese.
"Well," said the barkeeper, who
had been listening eagerly, che

Did you ever see him again?"
"See him." replied the book
agent, 81 guess l did. About an
hour later, as l was riding out of
town, l saw double -barreled shot

along the roadside, and he was at
the further end of it. He remarked
that upon mature deliberation the
