The most valuable imported saddle
horses are picked thoroughbreds which
have been trained in the Imperial Rid
ing Academy of Vienna, or in leading
Russian or German military riding
school,. They are termed high school"
horses, and, as the. course of training
extends over series Of years, they are
educated to point far beyond that
reached by the American saddle horse.
The few in this country are valued st
exorbitant figures, as indeed they are in
Europe, the demand for them being
great They are chiefly used there by
military men of high rank as parade
horses. The comparative merits of the
''high school" and the Kentucky types
of saddle horses are frequent cause OF
discussion between the admirers of the
European and the American styles of
riding. Test is given to the discussion
just now by the fact that possibly the
very finest specimen of the "high
SCHOOL, riding horse ever imported in
this country is now in this city. He is
a Russian stallion, 1873 hands high, of a
rich gold sorrel color, and Of fine make.
He arrived only three weeks ago on the
French steamer La Champagne. His
owner is Alexander Gregor. the Rus
sian secretary of legation at Washing
ton. Mr.. Gregor exercises the stallion
in Dickels ring at $50 A. NJ. daily. All
who have seen this superb animal adj

RASHNESS.

With a voice and look of daring,
Determined to act ON Sc iEsii plan
And for nobody's comfort caring
" say what think and at every chance
This impulse of his obeyine,
IT'S plain to be seer at single glance
He doesn't think what he saying.
Oh, many an arrow will reach the heart
For which it was never intended,
If careless marksman wings che dart
and the hurt can never be mended;
And many friendship may be lost,
And many love-link broken,
Because of neglect to count the cost
Of words that are lightly spoken.

Who give their wisdom expression
In chosen phrases, would hesitate
To make such rash confession,
For think what injuries might be wrought,
What evils we could not smother,
IF every body said what they thought
With regard to one another
To say what you think is noble thing
When your voice for the ight is needed,
To speak out your mind with a loyal ring
When order and law are lmpeded;
But the evil thoughts that flow through the
brain
And the heart should be retarded,
For we lessen the tide of grief and pain
When our speech is carefully guarded.
You may think what you choose, nor give Of
Be traitor, and not display it
And If YOU re deficient in common sense,
BY silence you'll not betray it.
And let it be written in blacklist ink.
For the good of each son and daughter.

Are most of the time in hot water.

lighting a Coal Fire.
From the Safety Valve.

From the Safety Valve.
The phosphorus on the match in
flames at the low temperature Of $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and mere friction ig-
mites it. In burning it combines with
the oxygen of the air and gives out heat
enough to raise the sulphur on the
match to the ignition point of 500 de-
grees. This combines with more oxygen
and gives out sufficient heat to raise the
temperature of the wood in the match
to 800 degrees, at which point it COM
bines with enough oxygen to
give out q temerature of 1000
degrees, which raises the coal
to. the temperature required for
ignition and the latter takes on more
oxygen, rising to the temperature of
5000 degrees or more, according to cir
cumstances. The ignition of the coal is
the last in series of progressive steps,
each increasing in temperature, but the
oxygen supplied at each stage OF the
process is of the same initial tempera-
ture, and no boiler furnace has ever
been built in which hot air was proved
to increase the intensity of the combus-
ton.
The idea of hot air in this case has al
ways been traced to the seemingly SINH
lar application in the hot-air blast fur
mace. There, however, the case is total
coal. and the entering cold air before it
has combined with the carbon chills the
iron, thus rendering more coal neces-
sary than if the iron had been heated.
If the air could combine with the coal
ture of the air would be a matter of in

Schools, 729-though New York has
more scholars. Pennsylvania has 1884,
500; New York. 979,4l5. Among the
states, Louisiana seems to stand at the
foot. It has only 522 schools and 32,617
scholars. The little state of Rhode
Island exceeds in it's scholars by about
$4,000. Of the cities, Philadelphia is in

Riding Schools in Gotham.
From the New York Post.


Including the school animals there
are now in New York City from 1900 to
1900 horses used for the saddle alone,
that are also used tor driving. Brook
lyn's quota is 1000 to 1000, and the
number of saddle horses in Hoboken,
Jersey City, the Oranges, and Staten
Island will make up another thousand.
The money invested in saddle horses
aggregately is s. large sum. An Ameri-
can bred trained riding horse costs from
$3.50 to $500, end if imported the value
ranges from $500 to ST 200. If horse is
xceptionally well trained, these fig
ures do not express his value, for, as
the horsemen say, "a fancy horse
brings a fancy price," but they show
the market value for ordinary to excel
lent saddle horses. Many mustangs
which if well broken are excellent
horses for lightweight riders, are
brought to this city from Texas and
New Mexico, but the best saddle
horses come from Kentucky and Yer
mont. The Vermont saddle horse
and is beautiful in form and we'll gated.
He ranks next to the ideal saddle
horse, the Kentucky thoroughbred or
half-bred. The blue Grass' horse is
marvel of grace in bearing and mo-
ton. He is always trained ii the trot,
or the single -foot, the canter, and the
gallop. Trotting is, of course. the gait
preferred in New York, SO much SO in
deed that If horse cannot trot, he is
not in much demand in this market A
well-broken horse of this type cannot
be bought or less than $500 An i'm
ported English saddle horse costs about
the same sum, but is rarely so "well
gated" hunter costs from $500 to 3D.
