Indians the Best JOCKEYS.

Piute Indian jockeys, who created such q
sensation at Stockton, Cal, last fall, will
have to look to their laurels, as some British
Columbia Indians are after the position of
premier riders among the aborigines On
this point Victorian tB. c. advices say that,
is jockey riders, the Flathead Indians and
their relations have, perhaps, no equal on
earth. Raised as they are from childhoo6
almost on a pony's back, so to speak, it is no
wonder they become superior equestrians
When preparing for race the young bucks
skin themselves of their clothing so as to
present as little resistance to the air as posi-
BILE. A Flathead jockey mounted for bust
ness is dressed in nothing more than a breech
clout and, perhaps, a thin cotton shirt, which
floats in the breeze, but offers no impairment
to the rider or horse Leaning forward on
their hardy little cayuses, they dash down
the race course like the wind, jumping
bitches and lodging trees with q precision
and skill truly marvellous. The white mans
race course is a fiat, level stretch of ground,
rolled smooth, over which the animal sim
ply runs, while the rider has nothing much
TO do except to hold his seat On the other
hand, an Indian will race over any kind OF
ground, among timber or swimming streams,
combining with the simple speed of his ami

Method of taking Stock

Taking stock that is to say making en-
inventory of all the goods on hand is done
by most houses once a year, preparatory TO
the balance sheet, which shows the exact
condition of the business. 1t is a work of
magnitude, and in some cases it takes a week
to complete it. And yet in one of the largest
houses on Chestnut street this is done every
day. The system is the invention of the
head of the firm, and, so far as known, it ex-
lists in no other house in the world Each
head of department is furnished with spe-
cally prepared blanks, which are filled up
at the close of business every day and de-
livered to confidential clerk, s9ho, in turn,
condenses them into one report. The entire
work is done in about one hour, and without
interfering with the routine duties of the
employees. The stock consists of jewelry and
art goods, and is easily taken, but even so.
the system is one of the most admirable
known in modern business The firm has
hundreds OF requests for its blanks, but very
pardonably prefers TO keep them and the sys-
tenn for its own exclusive observation-disclosures

Swimming is popular diversion in Paris.
There are good many bath houses floating
in the Seine, some of them of vast proportions
and magniticentiy finished and furnished.
They are as a rule rooted over, but the floors
are absent altogether, except for narrow
platform running round the four walls on
the inside. This is almost on a level with
the water of the river into which the SWIM
merS plunge There are instructors in swim
ming at all these houses, and although there
is naturally no opportunity for long distance
exercise or practice in making time, there is
Yet considerable opportunity for fun and I'M
limited means of cultivating diving to its
best. Many good swimmers so to these
places for practice; indeed, it would be prac-
tically impossible for those ignorant of
swimming to go there at all unless they at
tached themselves 10 the end of the rope held
by the instructor. Some of these bath
houses are free, and others are the result OF
private enterprise and are open only on the
payment of an admission fee.-Philadelphia

Faces Seen in Chicago,

Walk up State street, ride on street car,
stand around a suburban depot-how many
dafrodilS do You see? How many faces that
bear evidence of sunshiny hearts. How many
eyes that tighten with pure and kindly inner
fires! You will see hosts of hard featured
men and women scuttling along in their va
rious calings, pursuing vacations where
their aim is not SO much TO serve worthily
as TO maintain their SO called rights. You
will see tobacco impregnated men expector-
atiICe on Staircases where women are forced
10 trail their skirts; you will see cadaverous
faces, where the abuse of hygienic laws has
left its deGth-like marx; you will see untidy
people, who ought to be corralled like wolves
and kept from bBghting the pure air with
their nOisone presence; You viii see lazy eyes
and suspicious, hawk-like brows, and sensua!
lips, and cruel mouths, and idlotic cEins, and
pinched and mincing gaits, and powdered
and painted cheeks, and artificial bangs and
frizzes; but tell ME, oh, tell me, for the love
Of sweet heaven, where will you see anything
better than this sad categoryl How often
will you encounter a face that you will take
on trust? or en- eye that you know borrows
Its light from heaven! or a manner that is
sweet and cordial as the breath of a rose in
the dew: Number them on your fingers. my
dear, and only use one hand in days trav-

UNREST.

envy those sweet souls that walk serenety
On the still heights of being whence they span
The pleasant, fruitful valleys lying greenly;
In peace-that moonlight happiness of man,
Calm as the wise stars over watching keeny,
They walk content to know the things they can.
They heed no rush OF storm clouds rolling under,
Nor lightning tongues outleaping lips of thunder,
Nor pause astonished by a sunset wonder
Below those heights, above the warm, green val
leys,
1 grapple with each storm that crashes by;
Each flying wind cloud with my nature dallies,
And sways it like an oak tree towering high;
Nor heaven nor earth with my wild spirit tallies,
And nothing in them seems TO satisfy.
From Microcosm to Microcosm still turning,
look beyond, beyond with mighty yearning,
restless heart within my bosom burning
All beauty seems to fade within my clasping;
AL strength seems weakness after it is gained;
All spirit fineneSs, touched seems gross and raSp-
ing,
All love, inspid with self loving stained;
Nothing seems grand but hes beyond my grasping,
Naught noble but the blessed unattained.
The large, warm tears beneath my lids come
creeping;
Child like weep, nor know for whatIm weeping,
Something dear God, beyond my human keeping.
Like frail spider by thread suspended,
Ny soul swings through infnitudes unguessed;
Strange innuendos dinly comprehended
Disturb my being with sublime unrest;
little bird with quivering throat distended,
One sweet recurrent note contents thy breast.
Only man Graves the shocks of change that sever,
And hears the earth beneath him moaning neveri
The heaven above him chanting it's forever

A Truly WONDERFUL BIRD.

The Parrot Admiral Porter Brought
Home from One of His Cruises
"While Admiral Porter was on one Of his
cruises" said an old resident of Harlem, she
picked up parrot and presented it to lady
friend of mine in Washington. The parrot
was beautiful large green bird with a yell
low ring around his neck and two or three
red and blue feathers in his tail. He was a
wonderful bird, and was petted by all the
family, especially by the children, who
looked upon him with a kind of awe. Reg
ularly, when he heard the breakfast or din
ner bell ring, Poll would come sliding down
the bannisters from his perch on the top
story, aiding himself with his beak and
claws When he had reached the dining
room he would calmly and sedarely side up
to the place which was always kept for him,
and, climbing into the high chair, wait in a
dignifled manner for the benediction. He
was especially strict in his religious duties.
Immediately on hearing the first words of
the grace he would begin sort of mumbling
repetition Of them until the end, when, with
a loud and shrill 'Amenr he would startle
. any one not prepared for this finale.
''At the table be was exceedingly well cor
Quoted, and was often held up as a shining
example 10 some OF the smaller children be-
longing to the family. Without trace Of
nervousness he would calmly eat potatoes,
rice, salad bread and fruit, reaching his
claw down into his plate, and with great
daintiness conveying the food to his mouth
Something which he liked especially was
sugar, and he never used to be satisfied with
any of the children noticing him until they
gave him some Jumps of it, which they, with
kindred feeling, used to carry around with
them.
Zone Of the parrots tricks" continued the
Harlemite, Twas in perching himself at the
head of the stairs on one Of the upper floors
of the house, and shrieking the children's
names, one after the other, initiating their
tones and voices, and making it appear that
quarrel was going on, or that one of them
has been hurt. The terrified mother would
frequently rush out Of the room, only to find
Poll serenely sitting on the bannisters, with
his head tilted over to one side, one eye being
shut and the other regarding her with the
utmost unconcern.
Zone very curious thing, considering his
nautical experience and association with sea-
men of all kinds was the fact that he was
never known to swear or say anything which
could not be said in the presence Of ladies' ~

THE DAILY NEWS

Second. THE DAILY NEWS
Is an Independent, truth-tel1ing newspaper,
The reader can count on one hand the known newspapers
whose statements IN matters of politics can always be accepted
as at least intentionally truthful, and commonly so in fact.
On the other hand, it is the all-but-universal rule to praise
ones party and candidate to the skies, and to cry down the
opposition party and its candidate to the verge of the disreputable,
So common have such silly and reprehensible methods in Jour.
nalism become that they pass unnohced, and are accepted as 6
matter of course-as an evil inseparable from practical politics..
But this is only another mistake of the ~thoughtless. The Amerl-
can people are intelligent enough, thoughtful enough, fair enough
to appreciate and endorse honest, truthrteling journaism-in
truthto preferi it to the misleading, the truth-discolorng dishonesty
Of the "organ.'
The demand is more and more for the fair, impartial, indie
pendent newspaper which give the reader all nezps, and gives
it absolutely free from the faint of partisan bias. This done, an
expression of opinion, based upon facts, will commend itself to
the thoughtful reader even when he may not find himself in
agreement with the conclusions deduced from the premises.
Disagreements are of small moment if only confidence in honesty
of purpose remains. With no mere political ambition to crafty,
no "ax to grind the impartial and independent newspaper may
truly be ." guide, philosopher and friend" to honest men holding
every shade of political faith. And this is why THE DAILY
NEWS has to-day a circulation of over :" a-milion-a-week."
