Docking Horses.

People from other parts of the countr
who visited New York year or two ap
were surprised to see that the fashion O
docking horses had been revived there
Half the carriage horses in the Contra
Park had been deprived of the create
part of their tails. Instead of the luz
uriant and beautiful appcndage whicl
nature gives, the animals exhibited :,
horse-hair brush, short, abrupt, ugly AM
useless.
This fashion has not proved to be ,
mere passing fancy of "the BritisI
dudes" but now appears to have bccom
hXed, and is spreading over the country
and there is reason to fear that the entir
class OF people who live but to differ from
the mass of their fellow citizens will no
be able to respect themselves this summe
while riding behind long tailed horses.
The spirit of fashion works in two ways
1t makes some of us aspire to be both lik
and unlike our fcllow-mortals. The vic
TINS OF this mania wish to be obvioush
unlike the mass, and conspicuously lik,
class. Chinese parents torture thei
girls for five years, converting their prett,
feet into hideous little Jumps of bone ant
flesh, because those Jumps are recognized
as the sign of social rank.
For similar reason the rich shop-kcep
ers OF Gotham cut off their horses tails
They have been told that the fashionable
people of Europe think it mark of higl
breeding to be Indifferent to the suffer
lngs OF the creatures that serve them.
Several writers lately have taken thu
ground that horses do not much mimi
losing their tails, not even in fly-timc i
they are protected by MEETINGS.
1t seems folly to reply to such state
mcnt. ANY one who closely observes thu
ways of horses becomes aware that th,
swishing of their long tails is TRANQUIL
lzlng and pleasant occupation to them
aside from its utility in driving away i'm
sects. 1t relieves their minds and miti
gates the monotony of their existence
The operation of docking is cruel beyond
conception. ~
We should all wish to frown upon thi,
cruelty to helpless brutcs. How shalkw,
Go it There is, perhaps, no better wal wal
than to act upon the wise and timely sun
gestion that all who are opposed to &
shall not merely not disfgure their ow,
horses, but shall refuse to hire docked
horses, or even to ride in an omnibus, cal
or car drawn by them Youths ConDan.

TIE ARTIST QUEEN.

Carmen Sylvia, the beautiful white
haired, talented Queen of Roumania,
possesses the rare charm of a musical
voice, so sympathetic and melodious that
n celebrated French author who heard her
read aloud from one of his works declared
that she had revealed him to himself
She is most picturesque figure, always
dclicately and artistically dressed, and
with eternal youth in her smile. Elizabeth
of Roumania was educated as befttcd
her rank and, naturally gifted, she
mastered many languages in her girlhood,
and now paints her graceful word pictures
with equal case in almost any tongue.
She is known in Europe as the Artist
Queen when she is not spoken of ms
Schehorezadc-a name which has clunp
to her since the season she passed mt
Westcrland, by the North Sea, and every
day gathered the children about her on
the sands to listen to her tales of fairies.
COLLINS, elves and gnomes The children
were devoted to her and used to throw
up fertilization of sand about her camp
chair, plant their toy flags on the summit
and defy even the sea himself to Law a
finger on their beloved Marchcntante
Ifairy-talo aunt. Carmen Sylva's writ
lngs command almost any price from the
European magazines and she is besieged
with offers from editors, entreating her
to name her own terms. In only one
known instance did she comply with such
request, and this was in the case of a
Styrian editor and her terms for the arti-
Gle were that he should plant bed OF
Alpine flowers in one of the royal gardens
ut Bucharest.
