All Dresden has been going very near
ly mad overthe Reiter-Fest, or equestrian
performance, which had been devised by
the officers of the Saxon army as their
particular form of felicitation to the king
on the occasion. On the S00th ~anniver-
sary of the birth of the house of Victim
as the ruling dynasty of what i now the
kingdom of Saxony, Kursachsen took a
considerable share in the liberation of
Vienna from Kara Mustapha and his be-
sieging hordes of Turks, and the Incl
dents of that siege, with all its motley
Wallenstein's Lager of Dugald Dalgetties
from every state in Germany, were, says
The Times correspondent, selected as il
Illustrating one of the most meritorious
pages in Saxon history.
About five hundred officers, all mount
ed, richly dressed and accoutered after
the fashion of the time, streamed into the
arena in successive groups or quadrilles
of Tartars, Poles and German troops of
various co~ntingents, and marvellous were
the feats Of graceful Craftsmanship per-
formed, to the sound of breathing music,
though in this respect the Tartars, per-
sonitied by some of the most daring riders
in King Albert's army corps, easily bore
away the palm, with their circus like
evolutions, reminding one of a Cossack
digitovka.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Parsees are sun worshipers. There
are only about 20, 900 of them in India,
and $4,000 of these are here in Bombay.
The men dress in long, preacher-like
clothes of black, with hats shaped like
coal scuttles, and they arc very fine
looking. Their dress, when not in busi-
ness, is often of the whitest of linen coats
and shirts. They are the best business
men in the world. They own millions of
dollars worth of property here in Bonn
bay and are largely interested in the
trade of India. They are more akin to
the Christians than the Hindoos in their
methods of living. They believe in
spending their money, dwell in good
houses and drive about in fine carriages.
They are charitable as well as rich, and
some of the finest of the public buildings
of Bombay have been built by them.
They are of Persian descent, and have
temples in which burns the sacred fire of
Zoroaster.-Cor. Denver Republican.

A writer in London Notes and Queries
relates the following incident as having
occurred at the coronation of George ":
The Duke of Wellington, who at no time
of his life had been an expert rider, hav-
ing to act as lord high constable of
England for the day, and in that capaci-
ty to ride beside the hereditary champion
of England. took the wise precaution of
hiring n horse from Ducrow's amphithe-
atre. The duties of the lord high con
stable and lord high steward were TO ride
upon each side of the champion, and after
the latt r had received the gold goblet
from the hands Of the king, to bacE their
horses the whole length of WestmL ister
hall TO the door. This being an unusual
movement for a horse, the duke took
care that his steed should be disciplined
day by day to retrograde with proper
dignity. The intelligent animal learned
his lesson only too well. The champion
appeared, accompanied on n side by
tho lord high constable, on the other by
the lord high steward, the Marquis of
Anglesey. What vas the horror of the
spectators, and what must have been the
condition ever of that iron soul, when
the duke found hat his well trained
horse considered it part of his duty to
proceed up the hall towards the kings

Ir is no doubt the part OF wisdom for
Delegate Carey to avoid newspaper con-
and nothing to gain. After holding pub
lie office in Wyoming for seventeen out of
the twenty years he has lived here there
are undoubtedly some features of his pub
lie record ia which he is vulnerable. To
a man who makes politics a profession
letter writing to the newspapers is always
Il step of questionable wisdom for there in
black and white is placed something
which, like Banquo's ghost, will never
down. Delegate Carey was therefore
wi to stop writing letters even though
he was compelled to leave his defense in
the hands of the Sun.

AN IMPORTANT question, in reference
to the royal English marriage, has Just
been decided by the queen. 1t was what
sort of a coronet the princess should wear
OF bear after she had become Lady Fife.
Should it be a royal coronet? Should it
be the coronet of a mere countess, or of a
duchess, if duchess she is to be? The
highest authority has settled this mo
mentous matter, and the queen herself
has determined that the coronet shall be
the eoronet. appertaining to her station
and rank as thSdaughter of the prince Of
Wales. And once more the imperiled
expire is safe. .

WYOMING SHOULDN'T BE
OTERLOOKED


Several people in this city have lately
received the complete list of the advertis.
ing pamphlets issued this year bv the
Union Pacific railway company. 1t in
cludes elaborate pamphlets of Nebraska,
Kansas. Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, but nothing
whatever about Wyoming.
1t is a remarkable fact that so little at
rrntinn has ever been paid in this way to
Wyoming by the Unicn Pacific. There
Is not another territory or state along or
tributary to it, line whose resources are
not written up with elaborate care and
hooks on the subject scattered to the four
winds of heaven.
People have wondered that with the
advantages which we possess in several
directions that this territory is so little
known. The reason simply Is that the
people of this territory have had to rely
exclusively upon their own to
advertise the territory while other more
fortunate sections have received liberal aid
from the railroad companies.
Ii seems to us that this matter of Civ
ing some attention to Wyoming in the
advertising pamphlets is worthy notice at
the Union Pacific headquarters and steps
should be taken to remedy this lack Of at

Danger In CeunIoId.

Umbrella and cane handles, collars,
cuffs, and scores of other articles of con
venience, utility and even elegance,
manufactured from celluloid, are in daily
use by large numbers of the people.
The question is asked, May they be
safely usedY' CeIluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex-
plosive compound. Gun cotton is made
by s~aturating absorbent paper with a
mixture of two parts of nitric acid and
five parts of sulphuric acid. The cellu-
lose of the paper, derived from the cell
lular tissue of the cotton in common use,
is changed by the combination and be
comes gun cotton. To make ceIluloid,
the excess of acid is washed out by the
free use of water, and by pressure care
fully applied. After the removal of all
uncombined acid, 1t is reduced to a ho-
mogeneous pulpy mass, strained until it
becomes nearly dry, and is then mixed
with about one-third of its weight of
gum camphor.
These materials are mixed as uniform
ly as possible by careful manipulation
with wooden instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned out
by grinding is spread out and reduced to
slabs of various thicknesses and rolled
between steam heated rollers, and then
becomes moderately elastic in strips of
medium thickness. In this form it is
worked up into the various articles
which are offered for sale and use. Al
though gun cotton Is easily manufact-
ured, its manufacture for experiment or
for general use is not recommended; and,
although c~elluloid articles may be safely
used with ordinary care, u bonfire of
such articles for amusement is not rec
commended. No injuries from such use
have been reported. A word to the wise,
however, sufices .-American ANALYST.
