1t is strange that, although the Persians
are all horsemen, they do not know how to
ride, using the term In our sense They win
canter or gallop all day long without visible
discomfort, but they will sit on their animals
like monkeys, with their knees drawn up and
with their reins clutched tight, and win fall
off on the slightest provocation. When
babies of 3, they are already in the saddle,
and they are In 1t all their lives; but they
never receive any instruction, never know
what a good, steady trot is, and never learn
to keep firm ON their horses back. And, like
them, the Persian horses never receive any
training. The gait they are easiest to ride
the gallop--is their natural one, and they will
only quit that for a brief spell in order to
rest little. You cannot get trot out of a
Persian horse unless you devote years and
years of patient training to it. Then, again,
they are all hard mouthed, and most of them
shy at any unusual object or noise. For ali
that they have good deal of native intelli-
gence, and they are kind aud affectionate.
Kickers and biters are very rare among
them. While in Arabia and Turkey mares
are universally ridden, in Persia it is the
stations alone that serve this purpose Geld
ings are unxnown.--Wolf Won Schierbrand

The Listener, years ago, knew sea cap
tain, one OF that fine type Of knights Of the
sea that has become extinct along with the
American carrying trade, who had seen
Napoleon at st. Helena. The old captain
he was then young captain-had made in
effectual attempts during a prolonged stay
at the island to see the captive, but in vain.
The English authorities, who with very good
reason suspected Americans of being and will
ing, If not prepared, to spirit Napoleon away,
resoIutely denied the captain any oppor-
tunity TO visit Longwood.
But Yankee perseverance is not easily baf-
fled. The captain in his rambles had discov-
cred point OF view commanding Napoleon's
favorite promenade. There, securely en-
sconced with his trusty and powerful ships
glass; he marked down Napoleon. The glass
was SO powerful that Napoleon's every mo-
ton as he talked with an attendant was
clearly to DO discerned. Once Napoleon
turned his face full toward the captain, and
the face Of the great man was for an instant
set In the telescope as a miniature, and the
wonderful eyes looked full into those Of the
Yankee captain. The latter described them
as beautiful hazel eyes, deep and pathetic,
rather than penetrating. They were the
eyes of the world conqueror conquered.

received so dignified delegation under SINH

waiting. He told a number Of funny stories
about his experience with corns and bnnions,
and very soon the doctors Of divinity recov-

exchange views ON the subject, Then they
sobered down and presented their case to Mr..
Lincoln, who promised to issue the order

WEARY THE WAITING.

There's an end to all toiling someday,
(But It's weary the waiting -weary9
There's haSbor somewhere in peaceful bay,
Where the sails will be furled and the ship win
lay
AT anchor--somewhere in the far away
(But it's weary the waiting
There's end to the troubles of souls oppressed,
(But it's weary the waiting-weary)
Sometime, in'the future, when God thinks best,
He'll lay us down tenderly to rest
And roses n grow from the thorns in the breast
(But it's weary the waiting -weary9
There's an end to the world with itsstormy frown,
(But it's weary the waiting -wearyN
There's a light somewhere that no dark can down,
And where life's sad burdens are all laid down,
A crown-thank God-for each cross-a erownl

Russian Rich Men.

Russian millionaires spend their money
layishly ON whims. One at Moscow built a
private theatre for the production alternately
Of italian and Russian operas. Another, who
spends most Of his time at Nice, keeps his
own orchestra, which compares with the
best. A merchant of Odessa maintains a
magnificent theatre at enormous expense
This is much better way of spending money
than that followed by many wealthy and
titled Englishmen, inasnuch as it does not
expose the spenders to the scorn of the world

Painter and pupii.

An interesting anecdote OF Gerome is told
in the studios TO point moral that can hardly
be enforced to often, viz: the Importance Of
preserving in the finished work the i'm
preston that fascinates the artist himself at
the high tide Of his inspiration. A pupil
had begun a landscape in which Gerome's
eye saw promise Of a delightful piece of
work. Some weeks later the master asked to
SEQ the picture, and when his wish was
granted expressed his disappointment with
its completed state by saying; you should
have had somebody behind you TO flre a
pistol close to your ear every five minutes
Then" added he, waving his hand toward
the picture, ''you would have not gone to
sleep. ~ New York Press.

Burmah resembles Italy and Greece in one
respect. It is a land of brigands. These
robbers are called "Dacoitsn and like their
European brethren, work in bands or COM
panies having a chief with absolute authority,
lieutenants and other subordinate officers.
They are daring, rapacious and cruel setting
no value ON human life and exposing their
own fearlessly. They resemble the European
banditti in their wise policy of keeping good
friends with the peasantry and toiling people.
They thus insure supplies, for which they
pay literally, and gain the earliest intelli-
genee Of any pursuit by the government
troops The Dacoits do not take any prisoners
to their businesses to be ransomed; they
simply lay their hands upon all the valuables
they can. carry away with them, and move
| off with great rapidity One band operating
in the country near Tounghoo numbered
about 500 men, under the leadership of Ming
loung, a cool, cunning and brave chief. He
had some royal blood in his veins being re-
lated to the king reigning at the time at
Mandalay.
| They go upon these expeditions in n per-
fectly nude state, having previously rubbed
themselves we'll over with cocoanut or So
same oil. They proceed with their wholesale
| robbery in perfect silence, the only light they
| carry being the inevitable cigar or large
cigarette which each one smokes As they
| enter house they puff away, and hold the
| lighted end to ascertain the exact where
| abouts of any article they desire to carry off.
| Should any one awaken and attempt to re-
sist or raise an alern, he or she is speedily
dispatched with the keen dha, or knife, they
all carry; but should any general alarm be
raised and decided resistance made, then
retreat is ordered, and the party clear off in
as quick order as possible. There being few
roads, properly SO called in Burmah, retreat
is in consequence easy for the thieves, who
| know every intricate footpath in the jungle.
numerous band of Dacoits once, under
the leadership of Mingloung, had the a,l-
dacity tomalie raid upon the European can
tonment in Pegu. The night Of the raid was
dark and stormy, it being the commencement
