WHY Railroad Ties Rot.

The subject of the introduction of metallic
railway ties as an ilnperishable and econonl-
zeal substitute for the present article has led
i'm authority in this line to write that, after
much track walking and observation OF
the condition of wooden cross ties in various
stages of decay, he concludes that the princi-
pal cause of their short life is not natural de-
cay, but a decay fastened by frequent LAGER
alton and breaking of the wood fiber by the
rail spike, the brca!iage in every instance be-
ing from the surface, which is unsheltered
rom weather and subjected to constant
strain from passing trains. Experiments III
stone and iron ties. he says, have proved very
unsatisfactory, the wood tie being declared
by railroad men unequaled. Anything that
will render the service of the latter more
'asting must prove great boon His own
observation leads him to believe that rail
hair which will prevent the mutilation Of
he tie in question, and at the same time
avoid the strain and wave motion impaired
to rails by passing trains, will add to the av-
rrage life Of the wood tie nearly 100 per
cent, and woald at the same time decrease
the cost of track maintenance. York

Wome5 as Letter Writers.

ave listen to the reading Of letters from
some foreign country, perhaps. II they are
'etters from man they may be very good,
,erhaps brilliant; but ii SO, 1t is probably be
ause the man himself is known as brilliant;
.,e are rarely surprised by finding mans
etters much better than we would have cX'
.ected of him. With women, OH the other
nand, the surprise is constant; we may almost
say that every woman writes better Letters
than we should expect of her; that u
chirl rate woman writes better than any but
, first rate man. Whence is this differences
at may come first, from the closer obser-
walton of details by woman, the result of
the early training of their lives, and perhaps
based on something of original temperament
Now, details are what we need in a letter;
for philosophy and general gossip we go to a
book. Method, order, combination, are quite
unimportant to a letter; we need to know
what each man or woman described was do
ing at given time-where they Stood what
they wore, what they appeared to have had
for breakfast, or to expect for dinner. This
is what letter should bring up; the logic and
the deductions may come III separate pack
ages. Now, the letters of women will vary
with the period, they may be stiff, or they
may be gushing, but they will give the de-
tails l remember an educated American
who, on returning from Egypt, could only
say W en asked to describe the pyramids:
ooh, yes; enormous things-enormous things
But the stupidest woman who ever climbed
pyramid could at least tell you afterwar!,
when she had recovered her breath, some
thing about the Arab who dragged her up,
and the terror that took her down; and it j.:
by comparison with these that we find the
pyramid truly normous.-Chicago Inter-

THE CROUPADE.

writer's favorite old saddle horse, Gambling

walk is the best gait for long ride. In the
picture you see the proper position of both

In the second illustration horse is being
put through fancy step called "the Group
ade," a sort of horse polka, perhaps. In the
croupade the intelligent animal gives a
spring, at the same time drawing his feet up
in the manner shown. A horse, in his way,
has as much sense as a man, and can be
taught many wonderful things. Talk to
your horses as you would to people, and in
little while, with practice, they will under
stand you well. Always be kind and patient
with them, and you will be astonished to
find how much they know.

YOUNG FOLKS COLUMN.
DIRECTIONS FOR TEACHING A HORSE
TO ARCH HIS NECK.

Ten Little Toes-A Mean Thing to DO.
HOW to Give a Horse Soft Mouth.
Patroclus 1.-THE CrOupade-A Five
Mile Gate.
A writer in Harper's Young People has
oeen giving some clever lessons in horseback
riding. In late one he tells the boys how to
form" horses mouth SO that it will always
respond lightly and easily to the riders touch
A girl can do it just as well as boy. A
morse, he says, should never be hard
mouthed. 1t is vicious habit" But he
DDS the young people remember, at the same
time, that "unless your seat is SO firm that
your hands are light you can never give a
horse soft mouth"
The writer takes an imaginary horse called
"Don" and begins his directions by saying:
Suppose now you stand at Dons near
shoulder, and taking hold of the curb reins at
the withers, give steady, gentle pull Don
may attempt to back, but you must check
this inclination with the voice. The pressure
OF the curb chain will soon make him bring
down his head, open his mouth, and arch his
neck As soon as he does this, pat and caress
him, and in a second or two release the rein
and let him have his head a moment to rest.
Try the same thing again and again, very
gradually keeping the neck arched bit
longer each time, but never so long as to
tempt him to resist, which he will do by
pulling ON the bit, or throwing up his head,
or backing.

"PATROCLUS."

So long as he champs the bit and seems
comfortable, keep on at this drill for, say,
about half all hour day. In week or two
you will find that Don will arch his neck at
the slightest indication of the bit, and keep
it arched for long time without fatigue.
When he does this easily, try the same thing
for few days mounted and standing And
later still go through the exercise for week
or two while Don is walking Never try to
force his mouth; coax him with hand and
voice, and never keep him at it SO long as to
tire him so that he will hang on the curb,
for this will surely spoil his mouth.
After some weeks you will find that Don
will keep his neck arched his mouth open,
and light hold of the bits at any gait. This
is what we call Gin hand" At first you
had better alternate between keeping him Gin
hand" and letting him carry his head his
own way, SO as not to weary him too much
And if your hands are light, and you do not
jerk or worry him, you will be surprised to
see what soft mouth Don is acquiring The
same thing can now be accomplished with the
snaffle- bit, but in lieu of steady pull you
may have to give little gentle jerks on the
rein till Don opens his mouth and arches his
neck.

Not Civil Service Reformers.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. ia special from Sc
dslia says that during the last few weeks
several employees of the Missouri Pacific
Railway Company have been discharged for
taking too active interest in the reelection
to Congress of Representative Heard to
whom, it is understood the company is vio-
lently opposed. On the day of the primaries
at which majority of the Heard delegates
were elected, The heads of different depart
ments of the Missouri Pacific shops handed
10 the employees Moore tickets, and in
formed them that the company desired
Moore to be nominated. The men, not de-
string 10 lose their positions. voted their
tickets and were retained in the companys
employ. Master Mechanic McCabe, how
ever. refused to do so and was discharged.
Much Indignation over the affair is felt by
citizens in this city.
The Vice President of the road has been
interviewed. He denies anv knowledge of
men having been discharged on account of
their political action and says the report is
a fabrication.
