How to Become Expert in Horse.nanship,
Although at Some Discomfort.
To an uniformed person happening
in at Durland's riding academy last Fri
day evening the sight there presented On
the tanbark must have suggested an
initial rehearsal for circus performance.
Riding Master McGibbon, mounted on a
lively bay mare, was in the center of the
ring shouting orders to thirteen gentle
men, also in the saddle, who seemed to
be striving hard to break their individual
and collective necks. It was unique
performance, one fraught with results
the next day that must have made chairs
a drug in the market, and caused great
rush for mantelpieces as most useful ar
ticles of household convenience.
"W-h-e-n does the-e-e am-bul-a-ance
ar-rive?" asked one of the gallant horse
men as the squad trotted around the
arena, each man bouncing up and down
in tho saddle as though he would shake
his teeth out. And as the laughter
caused by the plaintive inquiry subsidized
an unsophisticated miss among the spec.
tators remarked to her escort THAT she
had seen ''ridin' and ridin', but no ridin'
like this ridin." In truth, it did look
rather grotesque, but the fact is that the
men were all accomplished horsemen
and had just organized themselves into
"a rough riding class." They were rid
ing without stirrups
To become thoroughly expert horse
man one should be able to ride graceful
ly without stirrups or saddle, and it was
to the accomplishment of this end that
the uncomfortable riders essayed. And
a most commendable undertaking was
it--one. too, that will doubtless enlist
emulation. Reckless prairie men from

The Indictment of the two young
newspaper men who have been classed
as special fiends, has given rise to re-
newed onslaught on the policy of those
newspapers which seek ''good stories"
rather than legitimate news. The criti-
cisms are just, and the censure cannot
be too severe. On the most f1imsy foun-
dation is frequently built from one to
three columns of spun out sensational
ism, padded with fictitious detail, em-
bellished with imaginative conversations
and incidents, and surmounted with
startling and alluring headlines. Most
of these good stories are glaring ex-
amples of space writing, and have only
a sprinkling Of truth. They serve no
good purpose, and convey no informa-
tion that possesses the slightest value.
That they are not news is by no means
the worst feature of the case. They dis
credit the paper that prints them and
throw doubt over the trustworthiness
of any statement that appears in its col
umns.-Rochester Democrat.

Prince Rudolph's Tomb,

The vault Of the Capuchin church,
where the Crown Prince Rudolph's re-
mains are entombed, was opened to the
public from noon till this evening and
will be open again all day tomorrow,
writes correspondent. The vault was
brilliantly lighted and odorous with the
scent Of the fresh flowers of the wreaths
deposited on the sarcophagi Of the vari-
Gus members of the imperial house lying
near the crown princes tomb. This last
was smothered with splended floral
tributes, wreaths having been laid on it
by all the archdukes. Above all the
rest were two wreaths, one from the
crown princes widow, with the inscrip-
ton on ribbon, "Von Deiner Stephanie,
the other from their only child, the little
ArchduchesS Elizabeth, with the inscrip-
ton, "Von Deiner Erzsi, the Hungarian
for Elizabeth. The imperial vault was
densely thronged, and the visitors were
required to pass quickly around the CEN
tral attraction, the crown princes tomb,
in order to make room for others. Six
tall wax tapers were burning ir high
girandoles around each of the larger
sarcophagi and two wax candles near
the smaller tombs.

Kris Kingle's Land.

The German Christmas has supplied
us with two of our best known Christ
mas customs-hanging up stockings and
attaching gifts to sprigs of pine, called
Christmas trees. From the German
Christmas also come Santa Claus and
Kris Kingle. The latter is corruption
of Christ kindlin or Christ child, of
whom they have the beautiful fable that
with his own hands he places Christmas
toys and sweetmeats in the stockings Of
good children, while those of bad ones
receive nothing but small birch rod,
placed in them by one Pelsnichol-liter-
ally nicholas with the fur" that is,
st. Nicholas dressed in fur. It is a rare
sight in German household on Christ
mas morning to see the expression of
abject misery on the face of some poor
little wight, who, having been dis
obedient or otherwise naughty on Christ
mas eve, finds only birch rod in his
stocking instead of bonbons and play
things The dread of getting the rod
from old Pelsnichol on Christmas keeps
many German child in order all the
year.--Cor. Washington Star.

"The Two Bismarcks."

The Hungarian artist Koppay, most Of
whose models are to be found in the CAL
manac of Gotha," has ventured on the
task of painting the chancellor prince.
Koppay has had opportunity of observ-
ing Prince Bismarck at home in his own
family circle, and what he has produced
is, in the best sense of the word, a family
picture. He does not present the chan
cellor in uniform or in court dress, be-
fore parliament or in the congress. He
shows us the great man in plain black
coat, leaning slightly with the left hand
on chair, whilst extending the right to
his son, Count Herbert, who is looking
at him with admiration and filial affec.
ton.
The face of the prince is turned full on
the spectator, mild seriousness is ex-
pressed by the features, which display
neither anger resulting from parliament
ary friction, nor delight in battling
against parliamentary factions. Above
the large body rises head that might
almost be called neutrality-suspicious.
which are all the more striking from the
plain black costume, in which the pub
lie is so little accustomed to see him, but
which are none the less caught from the
life.
Persons who have had an opportunity
to see the prince in his family circle as
sure us that the portrait reflects "Bis-
marck at home" with surprising truth
fulness. The portrait of the son, whom
we see in profile, is no less masterly
production. He also wears q black
frock coat, and seems to have laid aside
all official dignity along with his uni
form.
The picture "a knee piece) is entitled
'The Two Bismarcks." In the studio of
Gustav Schauer capital Photographic
copy Of the painting has been produced.
The reproductions will probably soon be-
come chief attraction in the windows
of the picture dealers, and will be sure
to find numerous purchasers. London

At Windsor Castle,

The redecoration of the corridor of
Windsor Castle has just been completed
at a cost of several thousand pounds.
The work has been constantly in prog
ress all the year except when the queen
has been at the castle. The new design,
which was chosen by Princess Beatrice,
is of sage green. In the corridor are
large number of splendid cabinets, many
of which are filled with china, one set
Of Rose Du Barri being valued at G30,-
600. At the upper end of the corridor
is bust Of Gordon, close to which is his
pocket Bible, inclosed in crystal. Guests
for the queens dinner party invariably
assemble in the corridor, as the oak room,
where her majesty lunches and dimes,
opens from it, and close to the door
hangs Professor Angeli's celebrated por-
trait of Beaconsfield, next to it being a
curious portrait of George H.
The queens private apartments are in
the immediate vicinity Of the corridor,
and three drawing rooms, the white,
the green and the red, open from it.
The decoration of the corridor is the
most important work of the kind that
has been carried out in the private apart
ments since the grand dining room at
the northeast corner of the castle was
splendidly redecorated in cream and gold,
just before the jubilee. This room con-
tains magnificent carved sideboard of
rosewood, and also gold punch bowl
and ladle for which George Nv paid 10,-
600 guineas.-Toronto Globe.

Grief for the Birds.

A pathetic scene has been witnessed
In the village of Danielsonville for week
or two on account of the death in that
place of Mrs. Lewis Worden, modest
philanthropist, of Connecticut. For for
ty years Mrs. Worden had dwelt in DAN
ielsonville, and in that time, it is said,
never saw case of human or brute suf-
fering without endeavoring to alleviate
it. She was especially the friend of all
dunab animals. For twenty or thirty
years she had fed wild birds under the
window of her house regularly each day,
and all kinds Of birds gathered there
daily at adj seasons. There were scores
of little feathered almstakers, and their
noisy chirping attracted the attention of
passers hundred yards away. After
gathering the shower of crumbs that
were tossed to them, they perched on the
window sills of the house and on the
fences and had regular thanksgiving
breakdown of songs. After Mrs. Wor-
dens death there was no one to feed
them, but they have gathered under the
window daily and expressed their aston
ishment in the most mournful chatter
ing. They are mostly sparrows at this
season. Norwich Conn. Telegram.

Happy at 100.

Mrs. Christian Bordner, who resides
two miles east of Lewiston, Ills, recently
celebrated her Tooth birthday. Two
hundred persons, direct descendants of
this aged lady, were present on the oc-
casion. Mrs. Bordner is a well preserv-
ed, medium sized lady, who looks the
age Of so or So years. She is in re-
markably good health, and on this day
was light spirited and extremely happy.
She came to Lewiston in 1855 with her
husband, Peter Bordner. who died in
1881. This couple enjoyed a welded
life Of seventy-one years. The Bord-
'ners and Iloshes are of German descent,
and this couple were born, raised and
married in Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Bordner is the mother of IS chill
dren. OF her descendants, dead and
living, they number as follows: Chill

grandchildren, 217; great-great-grand-
children, ID; making total of 353.--

kinds and during the last year Of his
life could be kept going only by cham
pagne and opiates. The kingof Holland
offers another example Of a ruined con-
stitution, but the process Of destruction
took longer with him than with Alfonso,
for he had a stronger constitution to
start with. Since his second marriage,
however, the king of Holland has been
an irritable invalid, admirably attended,
indeed, by his young wife, but always
ailing, suffering, grumbling, and now he
has sunk into dotage. The king of Italy
suffers from gastric arrangement,
brought on, as his doctors say, by too
much smoking of rank tobacco Of Vir-
ginia, and he has to diet himself with
milk, light broth and stewed fruits.
The queen of England and the kings
of Sweden, Denmark, Roumania, Greece
and Belgium are the only sovereigns
who can be said to enjoy the blessings
of the sound mind in the sound body.
Leopold of Belgium, however, is lame,
and King Charles of Roumania, though
healthy himself, has been made very
miserable by the nervous malady of his
wife, Queen Elizabeth, who for long
time was haunted by hallucinations
which brought her to the verge of in
sanity. Altogether, it will be seen that
in the imperial and royal families there
are very few persons whom-all politi-
cal risks apart-an insurance company's

A AYaIunhIa LittIa HIN.

There is a little hill in Queensland,
only a few hundred feet high, which is
attracting deserved notice, because it
has made Queensland the greatest gold
producing colony in Australia. 1t was
not known until five years ago that
Mount Morgan, as it is called, was worth
anything, but it would take millions of
money to buy it now. The original
stock Of the company, organized to dig
out the inside of Mount Morgan, is now
worth, at the market price, about s, ,0OO,-
900, and the mine is supposed to be the
richest in the world.
The strangest thing about Mount Nor
gan is that it was evidently made by
geysers or hot springs, like those in the
Yellowstone park, a formation that has
not hitherto been regarded as valuable.
But there is more gold distributed
through this rocky mass to the square
yard than is being dug out any
where else; and the beauty of it is the
gold increases in quantity the deeper the
miners go, and nobody knows when this
fabulous wealth will be exhausted. This
little hillock is now yielding an average of
$780, 900 of pure gold a week. Mr.. Luin-
holtz, well known for his travels among
the cannibals of Australia, says friend
who paid $1,000 for one share of stock
now enjoys an income from the mine of
$4,000 year. But the luckiest fellows
are those who got in on the ground floor
and have been made very wealthy by
their fortunate strike.-New York Sun.

How Some of Europc's Crowned Heads
Wearily Drag Through Life.
The recent death of tile king of Portu-
gal reminds one that the emperors and
kings of this earth are, taking them all
round, very unhealthy and unhappy
set of people. Such thing as jolly
monarch, with a good digestion, is
scarcely to be found The car suffers
horribly from his nerves, and is at times
hypochondriacal; the empress is as much
tortured by nerves as her husband, and
has long periods Of intense prostration
The emperor of Austria is healthy enough,
but he is sad man, for the empress has
been during the last ten years martyr
to sciatica and rheumatic fevers, and
her mind has been affected to the extent
of making her caprieious, hysterical and
melancholy.
She belongs to that Wittelsbach fam
lily, in whose blood there is faint of in
sanity, which broke out in King Louis
OF Bavaria, in the present King Otto and
in the late Crown Prince Rudolph OF
Austria. The king of Wurtenlb,Tg, too,
is more than half crazy, and King Milan
of Servia must be added to the list Of
sovereigns whom nervosity readers well
nigh irresponsible for their actic&s. In
King Milan's case, as in the czar's and
the sultan's, the fear of assassination has
been the main determining cause Of
mental disorder. The predecessors of
all three were murdered, and the world
does not hold three more wretched, night
mare haunted men than the car, the
Sultan Abdul Hamid and King Milan.
The German emperor has some very
distressing physical ailments. He has
an impotent left hand, and he suffers
from periodical suppurations Of the left
ear, which sometimes make him frantic
with pain and afterwards dizzy from
.sleeplessness. The king of Spain is q

Bills show for skillfulness and surpass
them all in grace.
In addition to riding without stirrups,
which is difficult thing to do, but which
trains the rider to secure q perfect bal
ance and depend upon his legs for guiding
the horse, there were many other interest
ing feats performed. And, by the way,
riders have perhaps rarely understood
what their teacher meant when he in
structed them to keep their "heels
down." Bv riding without stirrups they
discover that the observance of this rule
makes the muscles tense and secures q
better grip with the thighs, knees and
calves of the legs. An illustration of the

Princeton recently when young under
graduate was about to be ''tossed" by q
"buck jumper" A strapping sophomore
acted as the "horse," but the ''rider"
gripped so hard with his knees that the
big chap screamed with pain and gave
up the game.
The other exercises consisted of reclin-
ing upon the horses backs and rising to
sitting posture again, in quick mill
tary order; mounting and dismounting
by vaulting from the ground over the
horses withers and vice versa; shift
ing from one side to the other of
the saddle, by throwing a leg over
the horses neck; making a complete
turn in the saddle by throwing the legs
one after the other across the horses
hindquarters, and finally resuming the
correct seat. All of these movements
were designed to make the riders so
much at home in the saddle that no mat
ter whether the horse may buck, jump,
shy or stumble his rider shall be abso-
lutely steady in his seat. At the future
meetings riding without a saddle, blan-
ket only used to protect the riders raj
ment, will be undertaken, and, as fur
ther test of expertness, hurdle jumping
will be on the programme.-New York

1t is alleged by The London Truth that
a machine has been patented in Great
Britain and will shortly be made known
to the public that promises to make
ducks and brakes of typewriters, pho
nographs, graphophones and all previous
inventions. The inventor of this me-
chanical prodigy has just brought it
over from America, and it's existence for
the present is practically secret.
The new invention, which is named
the "phonortograph," is about the size
of a large cigar box, and weighs five
and half pounds. There are two i'm
mense advantages possessed by the "pho-
nortograph." First, it will reproduce
sound with perfect accuracy upon fiat
surface, and, second, it can be produced
and sold for S5. s@

vantage as g means of conducting corre-

The Coming Princess Albert Victor.

I hear from high English source that
the Princess Feodore of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, who did the Eiffel tower the other
day, chaperoned by her elderly maiden
aunt, Amelie, of the same house, is in all
likelihood the coming Princess Albert
Victor of Wales. She is sister of the
German empress and niece of Prince
Christian, the dull old husband of the
best of Queen Victoria's daughters, is
going on 16, looks a good sort of girl,
and is almost pretty. But she is not
likely to improve when the bloom of
youth departs, and she wants winsome
graces. Evidently she has not come to
her full height. When she does, she
will probably be as tall as her imperial
sister.
The queen would like to secure to her
the crown of Great Britain, because she
is descended from her majesty's mother,
the Duchess of Kent, whose first hus-
band was Prince Leiningen. Princess
: Feodore has been a good deal here with
a party of aristocratic English friends,
some of whom are connections of her
aunt-in-law on the maternal side, Coun-
tess Gleichen. Count Gleichen aban-
doned his high born German status to
marry Laura Seymour, and is profes.
sional sculptor, high in the queens
favor. Against German etiquette she
has been latterly styling them both Sc
rene highnesses. An objection to the
proposed royal match is that tho young
lady's mother is in a madhouse. There
is already more than touch of insanity
in the royal family Of England.-Paris
