THE HORSE
The Training Of the Horse aud His Use in
Ancient Times.


The east was the original home of
horsemen, and war the early training Of
the horse. Though he appears FIRST as %
beast of burden, and though riding pre-
ceded driving, there is evidence to show
that charluts in great numbers were used
IN war before cavalry became common.
The use of the horse was all Int limited 10
war. BuIlocks We're the usual means Of
transportation, and were no doubt then,
as now in the Orient steady and rapid
travellers. The higher the warrior above
the common soldiers, the more terrible his
aspect, and the deadlicr his aim with lance
and arrow. Hence the steed early app
pearance in battle To debase him TO the
purposes of pleasure was never dreamed
of.
We find the very best Of cavalry in anc-
lent times. The Greeks ran against a ser
ious problem in the Persian light horse
when they first trOd the soil Of Asia Minor.
They were nothing like so good horsemen
as the AsiatiCs under AleXander's compan-
ion cavalry showed them what drill could
do and the Roman was still less apt.
Phillip of Macedon first utilized the excel
lent material of the Ihessalian plains,
and organized a cavalry which, from its
maneuyers and fighting, must have con-
sisted of admirable hOrsemen The anc-
tents rode without saddles or stirrups, on a
blanket or pad or bare back; and in spite
Of this fact, or perhaps 10y reason of it,
rode extremely we'll II is wonderful what
feats of military horsemanship the bare
back rider could perform in the age Of
what we might call gymnastic equestrian
ism Nothing but the knowledge of our
old-time Indian enables MS to credit the
historical accounts of his agility and
skill.
When centuries later, saddles came in
to use, there grew up Swo SCHOOLS of riding
that of the mailed warrior, whose iron
armor well chmed in with his "tongs on
wall seat in his peaked saddl and
that of the Oriental, whose nose aud knees
all but touch. Why the eastern rider
clings to his extremely shoot feathers 1T !,
hard to say, unless it be to place him tn,
higher above his horse and therefor,
make him the more imposing when h'
stands up in his stirrups TO brondisl
scimiar or matchbox. Yet he is a won
derful rider, this same Orientali as, in
deed, is every man who from youth up Il

CAPTAIN CASTLES WHALE.
The Thrilling Tale Told by Him on the
San Francisco Exchange.

An interesting story is told in San
| Francisco Examiner OF the adventure had
by the pioet-boat Lady Mine On re-
cent Friday evening the boat Captain
Steve Castle, was lying becalmed about
| ten miles northwest of the main Faral-
lones, Not a ship was in sight and the
captain improved the opportunity TO shift
| the schooner S canvas for her lighter sum
mer suit All hands were engaged on the
work, and to secure more deck room the
yellow boat used for boarding vessels was
heaved over the side and made fast astern
by SIX or eight fathoms of painter.
Tho sea was full of whales, loling about
on the CLASSY surface, playing and blowing
and emitting an unpleasant oily 0dor, as
whales are wont to do when the sun Is
shining, the air is still and the water
smooth One particularly big fellow Of
the hneback variety, commonly called the
California greys, manifested much inter-
est in the Lady Mine, and came along
side 70 investigate The FIRST notice of his
approach was received from q tremendous
| flock of smal sea-bird5 that skinned
along the surface, flying down TO snatch
their food Of parasites every time the
whale came to the surface
All the birds flew away when the big
fish sounded "a cables length from the
Lady Mine, and the screw thought he had
taken has departure. In this they were
erroneous, for IN abOnt two minutes the
schooner set up violent rocking, a huge
black bulk suddenly doomed up alongside
there was a sound Of escaping steam, and
half the deck was set with a cloud Of i'll
smelling spray
Il was an awful big whale for a fnback

measures eighty-three feet
When he came up he touch the
schooner, but did it very gently, lot with
jar OF a bump, but with a slow upheayal
that simply showed the vessel of sideways
and careened her over a little until her
round bottom slid off the monsters back
[ TIE whale appeared highly delighted,
and repeated the performance For two
hours he was never 200 yards from the
Lady Mine, and half the time when he
wa. above water the crew could have
touched him by simply extending their
hands over The side dozen times he
rubbed against her side, but always with
the same gentleness that characterized
his first contact, and often bis bio ye fin
protruded above the rail as big as a boat
sail.
He was an old bull. and his back and
head We're literally covered with baruacies
It was to rid himself Of these that be rub

learned Several times it looked very
scary to see the terrible bulk rising swiftly
from the depths Of the clear water, but be

contact amounted to no more than a gentle
push.
