breaking Horses in New York.

One of the diversions of shopkeepers on
upper Sixth avenue is furnished by rich
mems sons They are amateur horsemen
who choose that section of the avenue
which lies between Central park and Forty
second street for the purpose of breaking
their horses to the elevated road. AS a
rule they are young, and they enter into
the work with a zest which seems to be
shared to "a considerable extent by the
stable boys and gToOms who assist them.
One day a consumptive looking young man
was endeavOring to drive a pair of fiery
young horses tandem under the elevated
road, and his experience verged pretty
closely at times upon disaster He had
two snug looking grooms with him, and
they worked nearly as hard as the horses.
About twO-thirds of the time the high
spirited animals were paving along in the
air on their hind feet, with the grooms
running sideways and dog cart whirl-
ing from side to, side and narrowly escap-
ing the posts of the elevated road. After
about two hours work the horses were
driven with comparative ease up and down
under the elevated structure by the young
enthusiast, with the grooms sitting on the
tail seat of the cart, hopping their faces
industriOusly. 1t was a hard earned tri-
umph.-New York World.

Cardinal Newman's Humility.

Cardinal Newman was notorious for his
consideration for others, which the follow
ing anecdOte illustrates:
1t is the custom for the Oratorians to
take their turn in waiting upon the others
at meals for week at time, and for this
purpose they wear an apron. A few years
back a novice, after taking his turn, had to
serve for an extra week, as the one who
should have succeeded him was away. On
his handing plate to the cardinal the lat
ter looked up and said:
but were not you waiting last week."
Eyes, your eminence," replied the novice,
"but So-and-so manning the absent onel is
away and l am taking his place"
Il can't allow that" said the cardinal,
and rising from his place he made the
young man take off the apron, which he
donned himself, and, bidding him sit in the
seat which lie had vacated, waited upon
the community for the remainder of the
week himself.-London Tit-Bits.

Profits of stock Brokering.

Jay Gould learned a valuable lesson in
the brokerage business from Jim Fisk.
Mr.. Gould asked him how he conducted
his business.
"Our business" replied Mr.. Fisk, sis
conducted on a very simple plan. When a
customer puts up margins we Immediately
divide them among the members of the
firm. We never had to refund but once.
An old man left $4,000 with us as a mar
gin, but he died before he could give us an
order, and we had to pay the money to the
administrators"
Your plan is very simple" said Mr..
Gould quietly, but also Understandings.

The increased space which the

PeriIs of Travel,

How many persons in the cars are there
whose breath you would care to take once
in passing? Yet by the daily practice of
car management in cool or rainy weather
we are compelled to breathe over and over
the emissions of foul, uncleansed stomachs,
of tuberculous lungs, of catarrhal MEM
branes and whatever canker or unwhole-
some sore exists in the mouth and air pas
sages Is it any wonder that the full con-
centration sends the head swimming and
the heart swooning with the mephitic
gases? Besides the clean but deadly car
bonic acid respired air contains specific
animal putridity and quantity of narcotic
poison which is anything but salutary.
How much good does it do a man with
enfeebled heart to ride half an hour morn
ing and afternoon in such atmosphere? Is
it what a physician would recommend to
strengthen the failing heartbeat? Is it not
rather daily administering of malignant
poison, which can have no other effect than
steady lowering of already lessened vitality
with accommodating force?
The ventilation of cars should not be left
to the feelings of brakeman whose only
idea is to keep them warm enough. Nei-
Their are the ideas of a colored porter, who
can sleep IN DUNK Win the SO!leu clothes
next the heater in complete comfort, fit to
regulate things for the comfort of sensitive
men and women.
To many, as to myself, the idea of travel
is dread, an ordc@,. Of unhealthy, disagree
able contact, an expense of life which one
feels less and less able to incur. Just so
there are certain large city shops where
never venture on account of the bad air
and smells certain to be encountered

His Conscience Triumphed at Last.

A man on an Erie train the other day
picked up from the car seat package that
the former occupant of the seat, who had
left the train at the last station, had for
gotten. He looked at the package critical
ly, and then glanced at the conductor, who
was at the other end of the train. He evil
IDENTIFY thought himself unobserved, for af-
ter a couple of moments of reflection he
put the package, which was a small one,
into his pocket, and then resumed the read
ing of his paper.
But his mind was not at rest. His con-
science troubled him. He tried a number
of times to read, and each time removed
the paper from his eyes and gazed into va
cancy, lost in meditation. The conductor
passed tim, and it made him uneasy. He
moved about rcgvously in his seat. Pres
emily he folded up his paper, put it in his
pocket, leaned his elbow against the win
dow sill, and allowed his head to rest in
the palm of his hand. He was having a
hard struggle 1t would have been inter
esting to know the drift of his thoughts.
Perhaps the question of the value of the
package entered into them, but it is to be
hoped that it did not. AT any rate, his
sense of justice triumphed. He raised his
head from his hand in determined way,
and took the package from his pocket. 1t
was easier to see that he was happier now
that his mind was made up. The next
time the conductor passed he handed him
the package with the remark: Here is
something the lady who left the train at
the last station forgot. New York Tri

THE COMING SESSION.
Representative Burton on the Prospects of
Local and General Legislation.

Local and General Legislation.
Representative Burton of Ohio. who is a
member of the District committee, reached
Washington yesterday. He said to a STAR re-
porter today that there was good deal of Dis
trict business to be done and he hoped it would
be disposed OF at this session.
'The Atkinson bill blocked the way last ses-
sion" he said, land hope it will not do SO
this. 1 hope it will be got out of the way. and
do not care much how. Whatever is done in
that matter will be temporary
Speaking of the general work of the session
he said there was much to be done. but it
would depend upon the attendance of mem-
bers. 1t ought to be busy session, and he
thought it would be. He could not speculate
as to what would be done with the
elections bill and the reapportionment. Much
would depend upon the amount of time con-
sumed in the consideration Of the appropria-
ton bills and other matters What
he would like to see would be the
passage of bill to prevent partisan
gerrymandering in the states He desired, he
said, that it should be fair and non-partisan.
He thought it q menace to our institutions
that it was possible for any state to be SO
gerrymandered as to carry elections without
regard to the popular vote. party getting
the popular vote ought to have representation
from the state corresponding to that vote.
