fat; the drug is put in the center of q
ball, size of marble, made of ginger,
to warm and prevent gripes, and oiled
meal. Her head is hung by the sur
geon, who, mounted on a stepladder,
takes her tongue in his fingers and
moves it to one side. The bolus is
dropped to the root of the tongue, fin
gers removed, and down it goes. Oc-
casionally q tablespoonful of bicar-
Donate of soda and charcoal is put in
her mash to help digestion; this is her
spring medicine. She is never seen
without her blankets, unless on the
track. In the ring and in her stall she
is as carefully covered as a baby, and
she has as many wraps as society
belle has toilets.
Her front shoes weigh twelve and
one-haf ounces, the hind ones seven
nails on the outside and three on the
inside, instead of the nine or ten nails
generally used. She is driven with
the "sharp-bar" bit-the "snaffie" sets
her wild to go.
Lady Maud hasn't trick or the
first trace of viciousness in her whole
makeup. She has her whims, will not
be neglected or sighted, is as imperial
as imperious, and wants all the atten-
tions and luxuries of life; she kicks if
her meals are delayed, will never touch
food unless the manager is first cleaned,
and would die of thirst rather than
drink water another horse had left.
She has never, so far as known, felt
the lash of whip. The day she
broke the record and beat the world
her driver dashed the shafts of the

But of horses, as of men, one cares
only to think or write of the best, and
OF the best only will I write. I would
sing the praises of the war horse, so
dear to the trooper. Hear how the old
cavalry-man puts it in homely verse to
the love of his heart, "Black Bess:"
Old girl, that has carried me far and fast,
On paving hoofs that were never loath,
Our gallop to-day may be our last,
For me, or for thee, or perchance for both.
When you catch glimpse of the forming line,
And now the artillery move to the front,
Hast thounever qualm, Black Bess OF mine
1t Is dainty to see you side and start,
AS we move to the battles cloudy marge,
And to feel the swell of your Weakening heart,
When our sonorous bugles sound the charge
At the scream of shells and roll of drums,
You feign to be frightened, with roguish glance
But up the green slopes, where the bullet huns,
Coquettishly, darling, know you'll dance,
Your eyes like birds, or q loving girls;
And, from delicate fetlock to knowing head,
A throbbing vein-cordage about you curls.
Oh joy OF my heart If you they Stay,
It's little for triumph or rout care,
For there isn't, in all the world to-day,
Such dear little bride wise love OF q mare.
But war, let us be thankful, is over
for us, and it is to "the turf" we go
to-day for beauty and brains on hoofs.
Washington Park Track and the
West Side Course are now attracting
the thousands who love noble horses.
The season is open, and weeks of pure
enjoyment are before humans and ami
mails alike. Our illustrations tell their
own story; no need to write line in
explanation.
To explain, however, how a real man
cares for true horse, I want the
reader to visit, on paper, the home of
the "Queen of the Turf" Maud S., and
the daily life of the beauty, and the
reader never has and never will come
into more honest companionship.

OF course, as there are men and

and types of every degree Of meanness
can be found among both the two and
the four legged beasts, as well as those

lection.
The head and face of a horse are as
indicative of the character and DISPOSE

skilled can as easily read both, can

The Quick Perception of am Expert.


A few evenings ago I sat at leisure
in the Office of an uptown hotel, when
a trim couple entered. The man, tall
and handsome, with shiny silk hat,
approached the counter and registered
as Mr.. and Mrs., Cleveland, Ohio.
The pair were assigned the best room
by the gentlemanly clerk behind q
diamond pin, and retired for the even
ing. The proprietor somehow sus-
pected that the pair were not exactly
regular, and as he had some expert
ence before, concluded to watch. At
breakfast next morning he took seat
at the table opposite the stranger and
his lady" He, all politeness, passed
the sugar bowl, asking her to help her.
self. mo, / thank you; never take

was revelation to the proprietor, who
hastily finished his meal and repaired
to the Office. AS the stranger came
from the dining-room the proprietor
called him to the desk, saying: See
here, my friend, you are mistaken in
the house you are in"
"What do you mean?" said the fly
young man.
"Why, that is not your wife," said
the diamond pin.
@How do you know that" said the
astonished man.
"H she had been your wife you
would have known she did not take
sugar in coffee"
This unexpected sally brought the
blood to the mans face, but his cheek
did not desert him. He attempted to
play off that she was his bride, but it
was no go. Within five minutes they
took their departure.-Neao York Mer-

Should a Seminole maiden unwisely
bestow her affections upon any man
outside Of the tribe, 0her life would be
forfeited. So certain of this are they
that no one Of the women under so
wears of age will speak to white man,
save in the presence of her male rela-
tiycs, and then as curly as possible.
She viii, in fact, hardly look at him,
50 fearful is she of arousing suspicion,
and in consequence of this law there
are no half breeds among the Florida
Seminolcs.
So jealous are these Indians of the
purity of their blood that | can learn
of but one family among them in
which there is any admixture. In this
case the man took as his wife a comely
negro woman who was captured by the
Indians during the Seminole war; but
their children are so far from being re
garded as equals by other members Of
the tribe that no full blooded Indian
will break bread with them. There
are two young men in this family, and
should a young full blood of their
own age visit their camp, he will eat
with the father, but the young half
breeds must wait until he is through.
The Seminole who lies to another has
his nose slit; while he who steals
from a fellow-tribe man loses an ear. ~

% An alligator, said by experts to be rs
years old, is on exhibition Mt Thunder
bolt, and enlists universal interest on ac-
count of the prominence Of its captors,
who went duck hunting, and came very
near being carried off by the venerable
saurian last Thursday.
The alligator was captured near "AIli,
gator pond near Warsaw, under the fol.
lowing circumstances: DR.. j. Eddy, OF
Fall River. Mass. Frank Eddy, of Boston,
and Usher Parsons, of New York, were
duck hunting, and one of. the party shot
a duck and was approaching the dead
fowl. when the alligator suddenly crawled
out and disputed the right of possession.
DR.. Eddy, after a hasty glance at the
huge fellow. concluded the alligator, by
the right of eminent domain, ought to
have the duck, and, it is said, began tc
increase the distance between himself
and the wicked looking saurian.
The Bostonian and young Parsons at
first thought were Of the same opinion
and for awhile it looked as if the alliga-
tor would have it all his own way, but
before il reached the water with the
duck courage returned to the party, and
one of them put a rifle ball in the sau
Rams mouth, which stunned it, and be,
fore it recovered consciousness it was
made a helpless prisoner, taken on board
the yacht and brought in triumph to
Thunderbolt, where itappears to be none
the worse for the shot, except that it Is
in captivity. The trio of sportsmen are
very proud of their mornings hunt, and
on their return north will take thGir
prize with them.-Savannnh News
