Training Horses for the Circus.

To the ordinary spectator the training
of an animal to perform various feats is
regarded as the most difficult part of the
breakers duty, whereas, in fact the
training of trek horse requires a much
shorter time that the making of ring or
pad horse A trick horse can be made
to perform in public in six months; some
require less time, some more; but it is
seldom that an animal is fit to carry a
rider round the ring with less than two
years practice, and two and a half years
is no uncommon time. Trick horses are
by no means new inventions, as one of
the Arundel manuscripts shows horse
standing on a tight-rope; while in the
time of Queen Elizabeth lived "Morvea,"
a bay horse belonging to one Banks, who
in an old picture is represented as
directing with whip the movements Of
the horse as the latter stands on his hind
legs. Among other tricks, Morvea
would tell the number of pence in any
silver coin, while she not only knew
the number of francs in crown, but
knew that the crown was deprecated at
that time, and the exact amount of the
depreciation. The system of teaching
horse depends good deal upon the tenn
permanent of the teacher. Many teach
them by kindness; but in some in
stances there is every ground for be-
lieving that the horse is subjected to
severe punishment before he is considered
sufficiently perfect to come into the ring.
When the lesson is once learned
it is never forgotten. Many years ago
William Cooke, for long time the les
see of Astley's, bought and broke very
small pony, the smallest alive, it was
said After performing for about six
years, he was sold, the pony being then
about ten or eleven. Seven years later,
when Mr.. Cooke was at Bristol, a man
came to him saying that he had a pony
for sale that would be just the thing for
a circus, as he was so small. GLOW old
is hep asked Mr.. Cooke. "Six," was
the answer. "Bring him up here" said
the equestrian; and the pony was &C
cordingly brought. Mr.. Cooke at once
recognized his old servant, told the man
that the pony was at least seventeen
years old, and that he himself had bro
ken him dozen years ago, and that he
would prove it. lie then gave the pony
his 'cues" and the little animal went
thiouSh his IIchs as rcaully as lhouSn
he had never been off the sawdust. In
England of late years, the great diff
Guilty has been to get competent lady
riders. AS the number of their feats is
necessarily limited, they must be per-
formed with the greatest possible finish,
and when this perfection has been reached
the artists betake themselves to America,
France or Spain, where they can com
mand much higher salaries than an Eng
lish manager would offer. Recently at
a London circus the proprietors were put
to such shifts for lady rider that they
were forced to dress up boy in female
attire and give him foreign name,
under which he succeeded in earning
applause night after night without the
secret being found out. London Field.

Ancient Missals.

The term missals, " in general mod
ern parlance, is applied to the ancient
books or manuscripts of the Roman
Catholic religious service which ha.
been handed down to us from medieval
or later times in public or private col
lections, national museums, monasteries,
converts and libraries. They offer val.
liable examples of the state of the book.
making arts in the different periods to
which they belong They form monu-
ments of art, history and literature,
which even time and human vandalism
have respected. Modern bookmaking
produces nothing to compare with these
magnificent specimens OF artistic intelli.
gence, manual skill and industry, and
the modern bookmaker, whatever his
skill may be, can learn much from these
landmarks Of the development of the
artist, the binder, the caligrapher, the
paper maker, the designer and the
worker in precious metals, enamels and
rich stulTs.
The most ancient missal known is that
of Nercelli, said to have been written by
st. Eusebius. who died $40 A. ID. The
most ancient secular illuminated work
known to modern writers is the Virgil OF
the Vatican, which belongs to the period
of the close of the fourth century. An
cient Byzantium was celebrated for its
professional illuminators of secular
and religious works. St. Augustine in
troduced the art of illuminating into
England and thence into Ireland, and
the hish monastic missals are among the
finest examples both of the illumination
and general bookmaking of the time
Through Charlemagne's protection of the
learned Alcium of York, schools of illu-
mination and caligraphy were established
in Paris and other cities of the empire.
The effects of these schools upon the
missal art of the monasteres was natu-
rally great. One of the finest productions
of that period is the Evangelary of
Charlemagne. The Bibliotheque Ma
tionale in Paris contains the best exam,
piles of the Carlovingian missals in Eu.
rope. The Astor library in New York
possesses a superb work of this period,
valued at thousand pounds. Art Age
