The Greek aud Indian Rider Compared.
When riding merely and not fight
inc the Greek sat on his brcech i'm a
natural position, took a firm hold with
his thighs. but let his legs from the
knee down hang free. His attitude, as
shown in the Panathenaic procession
on the frieze of the Parthenon, was
singularly graceful in style, and that it
was the common one is To be seen from
Xenuphon's rules for keeping the seat.
He managed the reins with light and
easy hands. The Indian. on the con
trary, was as sinGularly awkward and
ungainly. lie sat on his crotch, leaned
forward, with the thigh not far from
perpendicular. and the leg thrust back
at almost a right angle.
This he could do with the plains
pony, whose barrel was far from as
well rounded as that Of the Thessalian
chunk, and he got a goodly part of his
grip from his calf and heel. The con-
trast between the statue of Alexander
or one of the Parthenon riders and any
of Catlin's pictures is striking. But
though the old time Indian was the
equal-probably the superiOr-as a
mere rider. of the Greek, il is the latter
whom we must select as model if we
wish TO preserve any semblance of

When a good and respectable man

comfort TO him TO find that some
worthy friend has been frivolous also.
An English clergyman writes:

noon, not quite knowing what TO do
with ourselves, we came upon a car
rousel, or merry -go-round. We walked
on, and then l said:
LET us go back and see the Xaveri-
smum, " a public collection Of paintings.
'No," said my companion. Il don't
feel inclined for the Xaverianum. I'll
go down by the river"

THE existence ut "a contagious DIS
ease i'm the city at this time has given
rise to the ususl apprehension that Is
always felt under similar conditions.
and as a result We have considerable
complaint Of the sanitory condition of
the town. While this condition is not
rs bad as il might be, and might I'M
der other circumstances pass m
noticed. il il nevertheless true that in
some loca titles il could be greatly i'm
proved. The city has by ordinance
provided a dumping ground far re-
moved from all habitstions. but IL
seems the persons engaged in hauling
garbage and dead animals pay but lit
tie attention to the requirements Of
the ordinance. and dump their loads
Of refuse wherever they please. and
not very far removed from habitatiOns.
OF course with the limited police force
Of the city II has been impossible to
supervise the removal Of garbage to
the proper dumping grouad, but those
who suffer by this violation Of the
ordinance should make known to the
authorities who the viClatOrs are, and
then such measures could b. taken as
would prevent q recurrence Of the act,
il not to rectlfy what has been done.
Locking the door after the horse is
stolen Is q practice that 3, subject to
pOst-morUem critici IN, hat it is eve
theless q wiser thing to do than to
leave it open. / is never too late to
mend, and we hope thai the present
feeling Of the community on this sub
ject will result in br nging about a
thorough sanitary ov ~rhauling Of the
city. and the permBUent eradication of
all disease breeding nuisances. Nat.
urally we enjoy "a healthful condition
that has heretofore prevented the
spread of contagious diseases, and we
believe tbs same immunity will be er.
joyed by the general public now. but

is a cause for the sporadic outbreaks
that have occurred here during the
past few years, which must he looked
