A Western Rider.

When your horse is saddIed walk
 around him and see that all is right
 on the off side. Look especially
 to the stirrups. Throw away the
 little iron stirrups. Put on a pair large wooden ones and put on "taps." Then you will never get hung in the stirrup and dragged to death. With stirrup and heavy taps you can ride much easier, and steady and balence yourself better than you will believe till you have tried.
 When you are sure the saddle is all right lead your horse, watch him closely to get a clue to his inten- tions, Now for the mount. A cow boy grasps the reins in the left hand, stands in front of the saddle, facing it, puts the left hand on the horses neck, holding moderately firm on his mouth, turns the stirrup with the right hand, so that the foot can enter, steps in it, seizes the horn of the saddle with the right hand, and swings himself, easily and lightly into the saddle The instant you are seated straighten yourself up, leaning a little back if you have a suspicion that your horse is 8 buck CT, and the instant your foot is in the stirrup let him go. Many a good horse will not buck all day if started out right in the morning, whereas if he had had fair chance he would have thrown you sky high at the first mounting. Ifyour horse throws down his head and makes sudden jumps into the air, at the same time spasmodically arching his back and raising you out of the saddle a few inches or a few feet, as the case may be, you may decide that he is bucking, and if you have allowed the phenomena to proceed thus far you may expect an oppor- tunity of making further obscrya-I tions from the ground.

The Proportions of Beauty.

If a woman be five feet five inch es in height, her extended arms should measure from tip of middle finger to tip of middle finger just five feet five inches, exactly Ter own height. A woman of this height should measure twenty-four inches about the waist and thirty-fo6t inches about the bust, if measured from under the arms, ,and forty-three over them.
 The upper arm should measure thirteen inches and the wrist six. The calf Of the leg should measure fourteen and a half inches, the thigh twenty-five, and the ankle ieAt. From her thighs to the ground she should measure just what she mea- sures from the thighs to the top of the head. The knee should come exactly midway between the thigh and the heel.
 The d stance from the elbow to the middle fngeTshou'd bethe same as the djs,ance from the elbow to the middle of tfe chest. From the tcp of the head to the cfin should be just the length of the foot, and there should be the same distance between the chin and the armpits.
 The length of her hand should be just one-tenth of Der height, and her feet just a seventh, and the di- aneter of her chest a fifth.-Cin- cinnati Enquirer.

There was a circus at Chester town, Md, one day last week, and with 1t were elephants. Their car was run alongside a locomotive One of the elephants put his trunk out through a creeice in the car, reached over to the tender of the locomotive, lifted the lid of the wa ter-tank, and helped himself. The other six elephants did the same, and in a short time the tank was dry. The traiNthands did not see the performance, and only when the engineer tried to start his en- zine did he find that the water was gone.

Dying by Hundreds.

According to reports from Cali fornia, Nevada beef ought to be in great demand in that state, as it is free from disease in consequence of the extensive ranges over which cat tie roam. A. s. Mercer, of the Uni ted States bureau of animal indus try, appeared before the San Fran cisco board of health, Monday last, and presented some startling facts. He found that in Monterey county, California, anthrax was making great ravages among cattle. At Greens ranch 900 head had died in thirty days and cattle were dying daily in that section. The marks of the disease are an enlarged spleen and liver and dark tarry blood. At Gonzales 100 out of POO cattle had died within two months. The Span ish people in the vicinity cut up the carcasses, dried and smoked the meat and sent it to San Francisco,
 The meat, Mercer asserts, is poi sonous, as the germs of the disease live in it, and he discovered that 14 children, who had eaten it, were att tackled by malignant fever and died.
 The disease is spreading, and cat, tie affected with it were found in the neighborhood of San Jose.- Nevada Silver State.

During the War of the Rebellion, ten thousand of the Maine soldiers made allotments of their pay to the State Treasury, to be drawn during their absence, by their families or by themselves on their return. Geo. Kitchen, of the First Maine Caval- ry, who enlisted in 1861, recently wrote from California asking the State Treasurer at Augusta to send him ten dollars that he left there in 1864. The accounts were overhaul ed, Kitchens balance was found, and the ten dollars, with accrued interest. twenty-four dollars and seventy cents in all, was sent to him. During a skirmish he said to a comrade: Do you see that long, lank reb with straw hat on? We'll, watch him jump" So saying he fired, and as the smoke rose he him. self leaped into the air, exclaiming, By thunder the wrong man jump ed that time !" Kitchen was car ried from the field cursing that lean "reb that stood edgewise."
