How cholera comes from Mecca is ex-
planned by the Allahabad Pioneer. About
six miles east of Mecca is place called
Moona, where the sacrifices have to be
offered up at the yearly Hadj. In no other
place about Mecca is it lawful to slay ami
mails. The number of beasts killed, from
camels to goats, is about 10000, Nearly
all these are slain in one day between a.
m. and noon. The odors are described
even by the pilgrims as awful beyond
words, no attempt being made to dispose
of the refuse. Here the annual epidemic
of cholera begins and is carried by the
,Hadji to their various countries. For
many years to come the season of the
Hadj will be in the warm weather, and
while Mohammedism lasts there seems to
be no interfering with this origin of
cholera.
A very handsome china table service is
being manufactured for the White House,
says the Chicago Clay Journal. The care
lessness of servants and the inevitable ac-

state dinner have reduced the Grant china
and the Haviland set, known as the Hayes
china, until there is hardly enough of it
left to serve the Cabinet. Mrs. Harrison
has been thinking the matter over, and has
ordered the expenditure of some of the ap-
preparation for repairs in the purchasing
of a new service, for which a special de-
sign has been prepared by Paul Putzki.
The coloring is blue and gold. The plates
will be bordered in a deep marine blue,
shot with tiny gold stars. Standing out
from this background will be a garland
formed of ears of corn, also of gilt. Mrs.
Harrison selected the corn as typical of
America, and incidentally as compliment
to the Hoosier state. In the center OF each
plate will be the shield and eagle which
always appear on each piece of china
specially made for White House use. The
service will comprise six dozen of every
piece necessary to serve an elaborate din

HES A WONDER,
Remarkable Tales Told of the Horse
Breaker of the Pampas.

Remarkable Tales Told of the Horse
Breaker of the Pampas.
From Chambers Journall
Amid this mass the quick eye of the
domador soon singles out a horse suitable
to his requirements, perhaps the finest and
most vigorous of the whole tropilla. AS
the animal passes beneath the crossbeam-
swift as a dart, unerring as the lasso-the
domador drops upon his back and rides on
with him into the spacious corral. The
terrified brute plunges and rears and rush
es madly here and there, rousing the whole
herd into a state of excitement and fear.
Once free of the danger of collision
with the herd, which has fed to the fur
thest corner of the corral, the domador
whips from his arms large and coarse
cloth, with which he promptly succeeds in
binding the captured horse, and then be-
gins in a variety of ways to master the
proud, wild spirit beneath him. The
horse will kick ont in all directions,
plunge and rear, whirl round and round,
backward and forward, and even roll over
and over; but as we'll might he attempt to
shake off his own name as to rid himself
of that terrible incubus, the domador.
The latter, of course, takes care that the
animal does not roll over him. He simply
steps off and stands aside till the brute
picks himself up again, only to find that
the grip on his sides is there strong as
ever Blindfolded as he is, he cannot see
his tormentor, although at times he mana
ges to elude the latter's grasp and attempts
fight; but the ready lasso speedily arrests
his mad course. AS q rule, before the
horse has had time to regain his feet the
domador has contrived to slip into his
mouth the cruel massive bit used all over
the Platine countries.
The effects of this new instrument of
torture are fearful. Maddened by the
pain, quivering with rage and fear, the
animal dashes away in any direction,
forced by the cruel bit now to this side
and now to that, until the domador at
length succeeds in forcing him through
| the gates of the corral out on to the wide
open camps. Then begins mad race for
| liberty or the mastery of a noble. At q
speed to which terror, pain and fury lend
| wings, horse and man thunder over the
| gfound, which seems literally to fly be-
meath their feet. Foam drops like flying
scud on each side of the horse; his nos
trils dilated and his eyeballs distended;
name and tail streaming on the wind
which their spaed creates; the tanner seat
| ed cool and grim, hand and eye alert, and
every faculty bent upon overpowering the
fierce beast he bestrides. Thus they pur-
the domador knows that when the brute's
mad rage is spent and his strength ex-
hauated be WIN slsoken his headlong pace

A SCHOOL TICKET,

"A SChOOL iACAEIs
There has been good deal of interest
this year in the nomination for members
of the board of education. A number of
gentlemen have been mentioned" and
Pierce N. Welch, who was in the minds of
many as good man to be member of the
board, has firmly and finally refused to al
low his name to be used. But q ticket has
at last been made up which cannot fail to
be satisfactory to the true friends of the
schools. The names on it are: Horace H.
Strong, George F. Holcomb and Richard
M. Sheridan. Mr.. Strong has been one of
the most valuable members the board has
ever had. He is man of abundant COM
mon sense, entire honesty of purpose and
great interest and industry in educational
work. He was reluctant to be again can
didate, but finally consented.
We regard the nomination of ex-
Mayor Holcomb as an exceptionally strong
one and we congratulate all interested in
the schools on the fact that after much
urging he has consented to take place on
the ticket. Such men as he are needed in
the board. He is clear-headed, prompt in
decision and knows the needs of the
schools. He will be enthusiastically voted
for, so far as there is any enthusiasm in a
school election. Mr.. Sheridan's name like
Mr.. Holcomb's, will be new one on a
school ticket, but it is one which will be
received with warm approval Mr.. Sheri-
dan is one of New Haven's popular young
business men. He has had experience in
city affairs, has ideas of his own and will
be sagacious and independent in his action
in school matters.
The ticket as whole is as good a one as
could have been made. We take pleasure
in commencing it to the voters. 1t full
fills all the requirements of the situation.

Above all things, wish you in the future
to bring the imperial constitution near to
your hearts. It is imperfect, but 1t was
the best which we could make under the
circumstances. Guard that constitution;
watch zeolously that the rights which 1t
grants and protects be not circumscribed.

be seen with Paris in France. I see the
blessings of decentralization in the creation
of numerous centers of culture. / do not
wish to see all things brought to a common
level any more than I wish to see the dis
appearance of the various national cos
TUNES.
sAgain, say, guard the constitution,
even If in coming years it should not please
you in all regards. Advise no change that
is not agreeable to all interested parties.
That is the first condition of the political
welfare of the empire. I fear nothing from
foreign countries. All foreign attacks will
act upon us as hammer-beats; they will
strengthen and increase our unity. Inter
nally consider the German tendency to
pe-ticularism. This tendency lies in our
blood. Just as two regiments with differ
ent uniforms in the same garrison become
easily involved in disp ates; just as form
erly the individual German states looked
cross-eyed at one another, so to-day we
have the conflict among the parliamentary
fractions which threatens the development
of the union. 1t is difficult to bridge over
the chasm between the parties. I consider
parliamentary fractionalism q disease
whose continuation depends upon the am
bition of the politicians. Try TO overcome
this tendency to tito in parties, to particu-
larism. If we remain united we can drive
the devil out from hell. You must accus-
tom yourself to see in every German the
countryman and not the political oppo-
nent.
'T make this request of you, gentlemen,
as the bearers of the national idea at the
German universities. You are to transmit
that idea, that hope, to coming gener-

come, 30 rode on, and after going several
miles more heard something howl which
1 thought was my pup. L stopped, and in
a few minutes the bowling was repeated.
In less than one minute saw five wolves
advancing. They were in the direction of
the bowling and it was them that did it.
When they were within fifty yards of me
they commenced to howl again, and kept
advancing with their tails curled, hair
standing on their backs and looking as
though they were bloodthirsty I sat per
fectly still on my horse, thinking they
would take 10 fight should they see me.
But was mistaken. When about twenty
yards from me they began to growl like
savage dogs, and 1 could see that they
were glaring at me. 1 thought it was
time for me to commence work, SO with
double e-barreled breech- loader fred on
one of the largest. 1t retreated badly
wounded. In moment was ready for
another. OF course l was expecting to
shoot as they ran off, as wolves are very
wild. But to my great astonishment the
remaining four were still advancing.

The duty of employers in the case of a
sick workman WAS recently set forth in a
London city court. A tailor engaged a
man for a month. He was attacked with
rheumatism and obliged to stay away
three days. When he came back his place
had been filled. He sued for wages and
the judge found for him, saying that when
an employer engages man he must take
the risk of the latter being incapacitated
by sickness.
A curious table has recently been COM
piled in regard to the personnel of the
armies of the union, 1s61-'65. The table
shows that 75.4S per cent. of the enlist
ments duringth the war were of native born
Americans, while only five per cent. of the
desertions were of native born Americans.
Men of foreign birth furnished 24.52 per
cent. of the enlistments and 95 per cent.
of the desertions. Enlistment asfrequent-

TRAINING CAVALRY HORSES.
What All Cavalry Officers should Know =
The BEST Drill.

What All Cavalry Officers should Know
The Hest Drill.
One would suppose that a small army
like our own would be perfection, but
since that means a great deal II is not
at all surprising that II fails to realize
it. Its sins are all of omission, and its
training of cavalry horses is its great
crime. The riding of United States
cavalrymen has always gladdened the
hearts OF witnesses. They began in n
great and desperate war, and since
those days they have been en-
vironed by the best native riders on
earth, namely, Indians and cowboys, SO
II is not surprising that they sit their
horses well under any circumstances;
but having been doing active heldwork
in u pioneer sort of way for a genera
ton, they have no riding halls, and
very little incentive to do the haute
ecole. This condition is changing from
year to year, and since Uncle Sam Is no
longer building any posts the cavalry
man can devote himself more to the
n~iceties Of his profession than he has
in the past. The ''chopping and dig
ging" stage has gone, and the horses
furnished the army are better than OF
old. thanks to the efforts of certain
cavalry officers and to a slight increase
in civil official morality. although
horses bought under the contract
system will always be obtained by re-
garding their price instead OF their
quality.
Another eason why this thing Is not
OF more importance in our cavalry In
that they have campaigned on the vast
stretches of the great plains and in the
mountains, and have had to do with
long. hard marches rather than short
eharp work in a fenced and ditched
country. II is true that l have seen a
whole column of United States cavalry
go up and down bad mountain country
in places 80 p~erilous that a horse not
accustomed TO II would fairly faint
with fright, but all that was born of
necessity. the lack of which Is felt
when we speak of training cavalry
horses after the methods of the
European cavalryman.
That this necessity now exists I do
not mean; only. now that officers have
nor time Mt their disposal, they can
continue TO cultivate that part Of their
profession. which Is no small part /
