Horace Scudder, in st. Nicholas for October.
Washington never lost his liking for a
good horse. and he knew what good
horse was. He had servant who had
been Gen. Braddock's servant, and had
been with Washington ever since the battle
of the Monongahea. Bishop as he WAS
named. was q terrible disc plinarian. and
devoted to his masters interests. At sun
rise every day he would 20 to the stables,
where the boys had been at work since
dawn grooming the generals horses. Woe
to them il them Il they had been careless!
Bishop marched in with muslin handker-
chief in hrs hand and passed it over the
coats of the horses; if single stain appeared
on the muslin the boy who grOomed the
horse had to take thraShing. 1t was no
light matter to groom a horse in those DAYS,
for. just as the heads of gentlemen were
plastered and beWigged, so the horses were
made to undergo what wOuid seem to MS
now rather an absurd practice The night
before horse was IL. be ridden he WaS
covered from head to foot with paste
made OF whiting and other inEred. ents;
then he was well wrapped in cloth and laid
to sleep On clean straw. By tie next morn
ing the paste had hardened and it was then
vigorously rubbed ia. and the horse curred
and brushed. The result was glossy and
satiny coat. The hoofs were blackened and
polished, the mouth washed, the teeth
picked and cleaned and the morse was then
ready to be sadjled and brought out.

Romsn Letter to the Paris Figaro.
Now, word about the celebrated coral
necklace of the queen of Italy. 1t is a
well-known fact that she wears it con-
tinually. and even on occasions of grand
toilette she carries ii under river of spark
ling diamonds. The necklace has a his
tory:
Five years ago. the Prince of Naples, her
son, heir apparent to the throne of Italy,
was strolIng through street in Venice,
when his eye was attracted by the necklace
in the show window of jeweler shop.
The idea at once struck him to buy it for
his mother, the queen. But the price was
far beyond the capacity of his pocket
money, and though destined to be King
Victor Emanuel ILL.,. he was, compelled to
ask the jeweller for credit The bargain
was that the prince should buy the neck
lace, pearl by pearl, according as he could
save enough from his pocket money. On
leaving the jeweller shop ON the first occa-
sion the prince carried away with him five
pearls. which he carefully guarded. 1t was
two years before lie was able to buy the
whole necklace. When the queen after
ward learned the secret of the purchase,
she made a resolve to wear this charming
exhibition of her sons love on all occa-
sions. and hence she wears it every day,
and gives place even.when she wears her
state jewels Oh great occasions.

A Sausw Gambler Killed.

Grass Valley (Cal.) Leader.
The Indian woman known as ''Old EN-
was SHOT dead on last Sunday evening at
Legation, by Indian Brain, a noted bully
among the Indians. He mas been known to
threaten white peoples lives. Old En-
was a very skilful gambler. and had won
on that day $50 from the Indians, hence
the killing for the money. She has been
known to have at one time as much
as $50. and would leave it with some white
woman to keep for her, as she was afraid to
take if to the ''campOOdy." Brain went TO
the ''campOOdy' about 9 p. IN. ana shot
her, but whether he got the money or not is
not known. but more than likely he did, as
he skipped the town and state. The other
bucks are after him in Nevada and if
caught he will be dealt with i'll rough
manner. His life is not worth short
Bit now. ''Old En-" was half breed.

She was robbed of $50 few years ago by a
white man. near the Summit, She has

Riding Trousers for women.

Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Speaking of masculine apparel on women
reminds me that the fashionable English
tailor in New York for women asks them
$25 for trousers to wear under equestrian
costumes. The riding habits are of Melton
or else of peculiarly ribbed material, both
coming in light and heavy shades The
basque has position back, and the skirt
is made to tit the figure when in the sad
die. The same styles that obtained last
year are in favor this season, the popular
color being the only change. Blue is now
the choice though dark brown is also i'll
favor. The baSQueS are made with or
without stays, as the wearer chooses. If
the fair equeStrienne cares for patent-leather
boots she must pay S25 for them, and
with them, of course, wear jersey
breeches that fit very tight. This is the
style that Sarah Bernhardt introduced in
''Frou- Frou." If boots and breeches are
not worn, then pantaloOnS. snugly fitting
held at the foot with strap, and ordinary
laced or buttoned shoes are used. The
reader will wonder how on earth trousers
are fitted to girls by men makers. Hold!
there is nothing immodest about it. Women
employees do the close adjusting of the
tight breeches. But there are exceptions.
will you call on Tuesday to be Gtted?"
my scrawneSt friend was asked.
We'll, no." she naively replied; "you
may shape them in symmetrical harmony
with the top boots and I'll fit myself to
them"

Bon Car.os,s Great Wealth.

London World.
Don Carlos and the Duchess of Madrid
have taken up their residence at the chateau
of Fornsdorf, which was bequeathed to
them by the late Comtesse de Chambord,
together with an immense fortune, and
they will doubtless inherit another three
millions sterling at the very least on the
death of his mother, the ArchduchesS
Marie Beatrice. who resides at
Gratis in great secuSion. The Com
Jesse de ChambOrd bevueathed a sum of
half a million sterling to their eldest son, a
lad of sixteen, who is being educated at
Beaumont, the Jesuit school lear Windsor
The Comtesse de Chambord bequeathed the
remainder of her vast fortune, along with
the domains of ChambOrd. to her other
nephew, the Comte de Bardi. The Orleans
princes have very substantial grounds for
deploring the faulty of Their attitude
towards the Comte de Chambord and the
tardiness of their reconciliation with him.
for if they had submitted to him when the
Comte de Paris attained his majority. the
whole family would have been on the most
amicable terms, and they would now be
some millions the richer.

PACIFIC COAST WOMEN.
They Grow to "a Large Size, and
Dress Expensiyely.

Dress Expensiyely.
Cleveland Leader.
A feature of Pacific coast life which i'm
presses every stranger who spends much
time there is the great number of large
women to be seen. | have remarked the
fact everywhere, from Los Angeles to
British Columbia. A woman of immense
circumference is rare sight in the East,
but here they are as numerous as the
mountains. How do | account for it?"
don't accout for it. any more than l ac-
count for the prodigiOuS. squashes pro-
duced; or for the sweet potato, four feet
long. which | saw the other day. Climate
may have some influence, just how one is
puzzled to tell. unless the bracing air in
duces ravenous appetite. But here we
must not forget that the very task of digest
ing an undue amount of food sometimes
keeps a person thin. The free and con-
slant par taking of fruit may tend to the
undesirable result. An inert life, too little
vigorous exercise, may take hand in the
work. But | suspect that in some cases
wine and beer may be held accountable for
this excessive physical development A
vast number of women on the coast use
these beverages habtually. and they are
not all German and French women by any
means.
The number of Jewish women Of i'm
moderate size is especially noticeable. AS
class the Hebrew people of the coast are
a prospecting people. and are good livers.
Many of the women, having no lack of
means, take life easily, are much in the
open air, and spend hours in lively chat
and in light employments. They dress
richly and extensively. and the matrOnly
portion of them not tastefully. One can
pick out the Jewish married women on the
street, not less quickly by the materials
and the style Of their costumes
than by their features, which certainly
are unmistakable. nine cases out of ten.
They are fond of jet and lace. of silk and
velvet. and wear profusion of trimmings.
But neat fitting, which lends charm to the
cheapest material. is usually conspicuous
by its absence in their costumes. And the
Hebrew woman is not more trim in her
bearing than II her attire. Many of them
lack the snug compact carriage so pleasant
to see on the street. They get along over
the ground as though it required an effort
to move the body, as with most of them it
must. These criticisms are not applicable
TO all the married women of that race.
They are. however. true of many. But
in The case Of the young Jewish women
they fail to apply. Their figures are more

the Democrats. The Republicans claim
the congressman in the First, Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth. Eleventh
