NOVEL RIDING.
Queer Mode OF Horseback Riding
In La Plata.

Queer Mode OF Horseback Riding
In La Plata.
'There is no motion of progression
so delightful as riding on horseback"
writes the author of "The Naturalist
in la Plata" who, on the pampas of
that country, was taught to ride at a
tender age, and learned to look at a
man as a parasitical creature, fitted
to occupy the back of horse.
The pleasure of riding flow from the
agreeable sensations attendant on
fiight-like motion, and from the
knowledge that something with life
and thought sustains us and carries
us over the ground with speed and
safety, and that, too without any
metal or physical exertion on our
part.
The author mentions one species OF
pleasure in riding that few English
speaking riders have ever head of.
When riding by night on the pampas,
he used to enjoy Lying back on his
horse till his head and shoulders rest
ed on the animals back. His feet
were raised till they pressed against
the horses neck, and in this position,
made 10y practice safe and comfortab BILE,
he gazed at the starry sky, seeing
nothing of earth, but letting his mind
absorb the impression created by the
vast circle OF the heavens glittering
with innumerable stars.
To enjoy this method OF riding
thoroughly the rider must have per-
feet confidence in the surefoot-
edness of his horse, and the horse
must have a similar confidence in his
rider. The animal must 60 over level,
grassy ground, and at swift, har-
monious pace.
Then the illusion is that of soaring
through space-an enchantment
heightened by the muffied sound of
the hoofs on the soft sward, which
suggests the rushing of wings.

Il stopped the Hour or President
Lincoin's Death. and Has an In
tersstlns History.
Probably not one in thousand OF
the multitude who daily look up at
Tinany's big clock on the front of
their massive freproof building on
Union square, New York, and set
their timepieces to correspond, has
any idea OF its interesting history,
that it has marked the various
stages OF the progress OF this remark
ably successful house and also be-
came famous at the time OF President
Lincoln's assassination, when his
hands stopped at the very hour OF his
death. writes Geo. F. Heydt.
In a talk with Mr.. Tiffany, the
well-preserved octogenarian and
active head OF the great jewerly house,
the writer learned that the clock was
constructed for the firm long before
the war, in fact nearly forty years ago,
when the firm was yet in the infancy
of it's business career and made their
bold move uptown from No. 271 to
$50 Broadway. 1t was when the
building which still stands was erect
ed on that site that the famous
clock, SO closely associated with the
Tiffany fortunes, was first put
up.
This clock is mounted on O wooden
figure of herculean proportions, repre-
senting Atlas upholding the world
upon his shoulders; it was carved for
them by well-known firm of Ameri-
can ship-builders, who at that time
became renowned for their superior
modelling OF figures and figure-heads,
such as were used in ornamenting the
bows OF vessels. The figure itself
stands nearly 8 fevt high, while the
circular space behind the dial of the
clock, above the figure, is almost large
enough for the man who cleans the
dial to stand up erect inside. It was,
while at $50 Broadway that. by q.
strange coincidence, it recorded one Of
the saddest events of the history OF
the country; for, without warming.
and without any apparent cause, the
hands stopped at the hour of Presi.
dent Lincoln's death-at 1923 on the
morning OF April 10, 1865.
After the firm became settled in
their handsome new building on
Union square. over twenty years ago,
the clock was mounted in it's present,
position, where it continues to mark
the time OF the day, after forty years
OF service, almost as accurately as the
chronometers in the watch depart
ment on the ground floor.
The clock stands on the second floor
OF the building, fitted into the center
window on the outside. The works
were made in Tiffany & Co.'s own
clock shop, and are not behind the
dial, as is supposed, but in glass
case on the floor above, and are SO
constructed that several clocks can
be run in different parts of the build
ing, all by the same movement. Alto
gether it is an unique piece OF mechan-
ism, with history as interesting as
the famous firm whose bnilding it.

Much Money vainly Spent In Look
Ing for Waser--Some Erroneous
Beliefs.
Underground water is too abundant
in the east to attract much attention,
but in the arid regions OF the western
states and Mexico it becomes mat
ter OF the utmost Importance. Areas
exist there as large as New England
for example, the Llano Estacado-
without stream or permanent pond
upon their surface. while other areas,
aggregating one tenth OF this whole
country, have not stream with the
volume OF the Connecticut and are
entirely lacking in laterals and springs.
Great railway lines, including the
Southern Pacific, haul water hundreds
of miles for their engines and have
spent millions in the search for under
ground water, and the government
has spent large sums in similar ex-
periments. Most OF these efforts have
been the result of exaggerated expec-
tations whose nonfulfilment have re-
suited in the apathy of the people. 1t
was soon learned, according to the
Engineering Magazine, that the great
est possible use of surface water, aid
ed by the best systems of storage,
could not water O hundreth part OF
the western area. and popular atten-
ton turned to the underground sup
ply. Investigation next showed that
artes;an floods could not be obtained
everywhere.
The laws of distribution and utili-
zation of underground waters are as
simple as those controlling surface
distribution, but the popular fallacies
concerning them are appalling-for
instance, the erroneous idea that all
underground waters flow in streams
''like the circulatory system of the
human body" supplying every well
and spring. It is a curious thing to see
the "waterwitch" plod over q farm
with his forked stick trying to locate
"the current" In the vast area be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
Mississippi the belief prevails that all
the wells are supplied by the water
precipitated upon the mountains
which disappears beneath the surface
to rise again thousand miles away
along the coastal plain, while beneath
the vast intervening region is an mex
haustible store of water waiting for
mans invention to bring it to the
surface.

Word Painting,

Theophie Gautier is master worth
studying. He describes @ luminous
scene with "ochre-colored rawlings UNI

In Capt. Fracasse" he is constantly

q few words. One is recalled where
the travellers are overtaken in snow
storm: "A sharp wind was blowing
which glued the thin coaks OF the
men fast to their bodies and cuffed
their faces with it's red hand"
Sometimes he uses the phraseology

"Sombre clouds, every moment grow

'ST. LOUIS, Sept 15.-The attendance
in st. Louis to-day is remarkably large,
the immense number of people having
come in from all directions to witness
the fifth of the series Of twelve grand
illuminations which are making the
city famous this fall throughout the

and gas lights into proper condition
for perfect illumination, tonight is
really the first night in which IL has
been possible to light up each one of
the $4,000, and successful as the earlier
illuminations were, the effect tonight
far exceeds them.

Modest.

History tells of many military
heroes who were as modest as they
were brave. An extreme instance Of
this combination of qualities was the
character of General Langdon.
, The general was, in the opinion of
the venerable field-marshall, D'Azem-
berg, 80 distinguished and SO absurdly
modest that he deserved rebuke.
: One day when the two men were
having audience with the Queen of
Hungary, Langdon having stepped
aside for q moment the queen said,
"Why, where is General Langdon?"

door, frightened at his bravery"

Heroic Woman,

My observation brings me to the
conclusion. says Chicago banker,
that women who are thrown on their
own exertions manage better than
men, and will save little out of a
small income where man would give
up, take to drink or commit suicide.
A man thinks it beneath his manhood
to make less deposit than $500. A
poor woman with two or three chill
dren to support, will wash, iron, cook
aud nurse, take in from SO. 90 to
$1,000 week for the same, support
her little household, buy her children
an occasional toy or a little candy.
