Hints About Horses,

Bad driving will often fatally iniure
a horse in a few miles; while skillful
driving would make the Journey in
less time and leave the horse as fresh
as when he started. Drive slow when
the animal is full of food and water:
but after the muscles are limbered and
the system emptied, increase the speed.
Then check up and let the horse cool off
before stopping, and there will be less
danger of taking cold and of stiff mus
Giles and less necessity for rubbing down;
and make good time on level ground and
on moderate d%escents. Never keep
the same gait and speed for a long
time, tor a change of gait is equivalent
to a rest.
Never ride a horse without first
making his acquaintance and securing
his good will. Go to his head. sneak
kind, pat him. look him in the ewes.
Whether you are a friend or foe, he
VIII Judge by your voice. your eye and
your breath. Horses Judge a man as
quickly as a man does a horse. Feed
and water ~abundantly at night after
work and the animal has. had time to
rest and cool off. Feed moderately in
the morning or before work. Partha-
ms and Arabs prepare their horses for
hard drives by fasting rather than
feasting. More horses are injured by
hard driving on a full stomach than
by any other process. Never let a horse
eat or drink much when it is hot from
work. Study youI horse. treat it &C
cordlng to its nature. make it YOUR
friend, and it Will do better and safer
service.

A Cool Detective.

Highwaymen in the mining states
seldom operate upon a stage coach
with u. S. NJ" on it. They know
that these initials stand for the United
States mail, and are a pledge that the
whole power of the government will
be used to capture them.
The detectives in the government
service are quiet men, courteous in
manner and gentle in speech. Mr..
Hayes tells, in his book on New Col
orado," Of one whom he met who wore
| gold spectacles, and looked like a Ger
man professor. Yet this man alone
took two mail robbers from the north
Of Texas. At one place their friends
planned a rescue. He quietly inform
ed his prisoners that, while their
friends could undoubtedly kill him,
they might be sure that the first mo-
ton would send them both into eterni.
ty. Not a man in the crowd moved a
finger.
Oh one occasion, a celebrated detec-
tive was on a stage which was attack
ed by two masked men. The first he
knew was that two revolvers were
thrust in the coach's window, with the
command, Hands up. gentlemen"
The highwaymen had the drop" on
the passengers, which. in their vocab-
ulary, meant the certainty Of their be-
ing able to kill before being harmed
themselves. TO his DISCUS. the detec-
tive was compelled to give up his
watch and money.
AS the robbers left, he put his hand
down in the "boot," and to his delight
it touched a carbine. Asking the
driver to go Oh a little further, and
then stop and wait for him, he went
back alone.
The two men, unsuspicious of dan
ger, were 'divyying up the spoils in
the middle of the road. This was Just
what the detective had calculated on.
Now, you scoundrels, it's my turn"
he shouted, covering them by the re-
peating carbine. Throw up your
hands or I'll shoot"
The robbers, at his command, stepp-
ed one side. holding up their hands,
while he picked up their revolvers. 1t
was not many minutes before the as
tonished passengers saw the highway
men walking down the road, with the
cool detective following. They were
taken in the coach and finally lodged
in Jail.
The hero was General Charles
Adams, who subsequently went alone
among the Utes and secured the re-
lease OF the women captives from the
White River agency.-HaTs Journal

The soul of beauty haunts the heavens.
Nor leaves for long the warm-faced earth,
And, like mother, the kind air
To life gives birth.
But death rides past upon the gale
And blows the rustling, golden leaves;
They whirl ana fall, and rot and die,
And my heart grieves.
