The victory OF the American horse IrOquoi5
In England last week seems TO be about as
gratifying to large portion OF the Canadian
people as to those of the United States,
although the latter might naturally be sup
posed to have much warmer local or national
interest ia the matter than their neighbor5
across the boundary liue. This feeling on the
part OF the Canadians must not, however, be
attributed TO any want OF loyalty to the mother
country. 1t springs rather from the fact that
their views and methods of life harmonic
more closely with those which prevail In the
states than with the standards which England
has set up. In other words, they regard the
American systems OF education and training,
both OF men and horses, as productive Of better
results than can be obtained by those which
England has long considered the best that can
be devised by the mind OF man. This is the
view taxed by that excellent paper, tbs To-
ronto Mail. which, after remarking that some
credit for the victory may have been due to the
fider, says: "put Iroquois was trained by an
American. according to American ideas, and
We are rather disposed to believe that in train
Ing horses, as In training men, our neighbours
are ahead OF the mother country. IN England,
both horses and men are to great extent
worked too hard In their training, and are
wrought up to such pitch that at a critical
moment the strain tells and the game is up
1t Is not likely that any English paper would
go quite so far as our Canadian contemporary In
admitting the superiority OF American math-
DDS, but IL would be an interesting step In the
further elucidatlon OF the question IL the Bri-
tons would send over some OF their best horses
to run on OUR tracks. Why do they not 90

Changes in Mems Clothing.

It is curious to note how great are
the changes in mems costumes. Look
ing only at one detail, the Waistcoat
which last century was the cause Of end
less extravagance, we find that is now
Of the utmost simplicity, and is for the
most part hidden by the coat. But the
waistcoat had its day. There was a
time when dandies made it matter Of
pride to have dozens-nay scores-of
waistcoats. In Germany, during the
last century, the luxury was considera-
bic, and the love Of display incalcuiable.
One of the ministers under Frederick
the Great used to boast that he had 300
waistcoats and 300 wigs. $50 many
wigs and SO little head, said Frederick
the Great, speaking Of him. Men of
position we're required to have . posi-
tive museum Of waistcoats in the
eighteenth century. There were cloth
waistcoats, silk waistcoats, waistcoats in
velvet, Waistcoats in cloth Of gold. The
waistcoast was work of art, painters
canvas filed with subjects. It was
covered with admirable representations
of hunting episodes, Of court scenes, of
famous fables, ofvillage festivals. The
waistcoat of the gallant Of the period
was en1ivened with the pictorial history
of the loves of Mars and Venus, the
marshals waistcoat was embroidered
with military scenes, while one Of the
court dandies acquired fame (which he
would not otherwise have enjoyed) by
reason Of the illustrations Of popular
plays to be seen on his manly breast,
The rage for these illuminated waist
coats lasted till the end of Louis XIV's
reign. The buttons by which these
garments were fastened were not less
worthy Of notice. They were, for the
most part, Of about the size of our silver
dollars, and were in steel, in silver, in
H1CO4OA0 0tOACc3 SOuAODAuAOO CfC1A III N1u-
monds. The Count d'Artois, afterward
Charles x, was celebrated for the mag
nifcence of his buttons, some of which
wereia enamel, and embellished with
miniatures Of the celebrated beauties, Of
classic heads Of the gods and goddesses.
Some men Of lower type wore on their
buttons the portraits and initials of the
queens Of their hearts. The revolution
brought about some changes. The
waistcoat was shortened, and its buttons
bore the portrait Of Robespierre, who
was known among dandies as the man
with the best powdered hair in France,
or Of Saint just, or Fourquier Tihville,
OF others. But this fashion soon djsap-
peared, and the waistcoat has gradually
lost its importance as an article of mas
culine apparel, and is now considered
useful as depot for the watch, but as
an ornament is none.

Scenery and Bumps.

In Nevada, recently, two rival coaches
started out on parallel roads, each four
team on a gallop. Anew Yorker, being
the only passenger in one coach, took a
seat with the driver. He endured the
first five miles very well, as the road
was pretty smooth, but he finally care
lessly observed:
"This pace is rather hard on the
horses, isn't it?
'sOh, mol They are used to it. 1
haven't begun to swing 'em yet" was
the reply.
"If we were going little slower I
could enjoy the scenery much better" !"
'sYes, I s'pose SO; but this line isn't
run on the scenery principle"
That ended the conversation until
the horses turned a corner, and the
stage rode around it on two wheels.
Then the New Yorker remarked:
"I suppose you sometimes meet with
accidentsf"
"Almost every day" was the brief
reply.
"Is there danger Of something giving
way?"
''Of course. but we've got to take our
chances. Glang there"
At the end of another mile the pas
senger controlled his voice sufficiently
o inquire:
ssWhat if we shouldn't reach Red
Hill by exactly two o'clock2 I am in
no hurry"
mo, Is'pose not /; but I've got to do
it, or lose ten dollars"
'sHow2"
sTve got an even ten bet that I can
beat the other stage into Red Hill by
fifteen minutes, and I am going to win
that money if it kills horsei''
Say hold on r exclaimed the other,
as he felt for his wallet, 81 like to ride
fast. and l'm not bit nervous, but I
do hate to. see horses get worried.
Here's twenty dollars for you'll Now
lets sort o jog along the rest Of the way,
and get chance to smoke and talk
about the Indians"
"Whoa, there Come down with you
gentle, now take il easy, and don't
fret r called the driver, as he pulled in,
and reached for the greenbacks with
one hand and for his pipe with the
other. Thereafter the New Yorker had
more scenery and less bumps.
