 TEXAS PONY PRACTICE.

It's Performance by School Children fin
 tho Lone Star State.
 Dishonest college students are much addicted to the use of ''ponies" But these 'ponies" are translations of the classics, which the boys stealthily con suit, instead ot getting out tn cir lessons by had work. Pony practice by the school-children of the Southwesti is more literal-a good deal more honorable. A correspondent of the New York World says: At Manor, Tex, in that sparse ly settled country along the Ilne of the Houston and Texas Central railway, came to large wood-colored building surrounded by caravan of horses. I counted upward of fifty, all saddled and each hitched to a tree. Every thing about the house was as still as death.
 ''1t must be a funeral, I said.
 Suddenly the scene changed. The doors of the building burst open and out broke more than fifty school-children ''School's out!'' they shouted, and a oar avan of children scrambled for the horses,
 In moment the youngsters had mounted and were riding helter skelter over the prairie. The Texas mustangs seemed to scent the frolic and kicked up their heels as they galloped home with the school-children. With their d4nner- -pails jingling on tho pommels of the saddles and their dresses and jackets waving in the wind they looked like mad caravan of Bedouins
 'How far did you come?'' asked a little tot who sat behind his sister on a specllled mustang.
 ''I tum dood way-I tum-'
 ''Why, he's come six miles," inter- rupted his sister. "Jimmy is only five years old. He doesn't know how far he does come."
 "1 live eight miles," said little Lord Fauntleroy on q dancing broncho, '.but can ride 1t in an hour, and have done 1t in thirty minutes Then he spurred his horse till he leaped away over the prairie.

 rrnctIce and Theory.
 Practice sad theory must go together. Theory without practice to test it, to verify it, to correct it, is idle specula- sion; but practice without theory to an- innate it is mere mechanism. In every art and business theory is the soul and practice the body. The soul, without the body in which to dwell, is indeed only ghost, but body without soul is only a corpse.
