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 10 the elevated road. As a
rule they are young, and they enter into
the work with zest which seems 70 be
shared to q considerable extent by the
stable boys and grooms 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. aud
they worked nearly a. 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 the 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 com parative 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. Il was a hard earned til
umph.-Nsw York World.

Suicide seems to be temporarily epidemic
in Europe From ST. Petersburg there
comes a thrilling story of a professor of
medicine who took poison in the very act
of lecturing TO his class; while in Paris the
daily number Of cases Of self murder is
said to range from twelve TO eighteen.
Nor is there forthcoming any scientific ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon Of the sort in
which the late Mr. Buckle took delight
In the spring Parisians who are tired Of
life mostly drown themselves in the Seine;
in the autumn they prefer 70 asphyxiate
themselves by means Of charcoal fumes.
That Is all the statisticians have 70 tell US.
What IS the real osuac CT this alarming
predisposition 20 self murder-whether it
is due 10 religious doubts and difficulties,
to compulsory military service, or 70 the
wetness Of the 50 called summer Of 1870 in
Europe-is a question which for the pres
ent saEnsins unanswered.

respect was the most successful; for on
the 18th of May, 1888, Lieut.. Lockwood and
Sergt. Brainerd of that expedition reached
Lockwood island in latitude So dogs. "a
min. and longitude ~ dogs min-the
most northern point ever attained. Far to
the northwest they saw what they named
Cape Robert Lincoln, but could not
reach it.
DIR. Isaac Nansen. who crossed Greenland
two years ago, also proposes TO try the
balloon scheme IN 1892, but on q different
and much smaller scale than that of the
Frenchman.
He will go through Behring strait in
June, thence westward 10 the most north
ern island his vessel can reach, and then
proceed with sledges and boats, using a
small attached balloon, only to rise a few
hundred feet, and survey the region ahead
OF him. In August or September he ex-
poets TO locate on the floating ice, and
thinks at that season it will take him di-
rectly across the open sea and near the pole.
1t is not easy TO understand the reasoning
on which he bases this hope, but he is bold
and scientific Norwegian, and his report
will, no doubt, interest us-if he lives.
With the ballo0Eists and others the wear
1892 bids fair TO be memorable one in
Arctic explorations. j. ii. BEADLE.
