PRESIDENT HARRISON is having some

PRESIDENT HARRISON is having some
bad days now. The signs from Colorado,
Ohio and other states are not right. They
are depressing. Senator Wolcott boldly
states that Harrison will be beaten at
Minneapolis. In spite of the federal Of
fee holders of New York that state is
against him. The rank and file of the
republican party are becoming weary of
having their politics run by Hsrrison's
place holders, and as Walcott says, they
are very apt to repudiate their work at
Minneapolis. Plstt is opposed to Harri-
son. Quay will have none of him. Clark
son is after him with big club. Whist
will be the result? There will be sprung
upon the convention ticket composed
OF Lincoln and Reed or Mckinley and
somebody else. 1t is said that when the
big men of the party get together in quiet
places, they exchange peppery opinions
concerning the president. But, as the
Keokuk ConstitutionaDemocrs says.
should he win at Minneapolis, it is be-
coming more and more of dead certain
ty that he cannot be elected in Novem Der.

bilities for torturing the animal ridden. You
can square yourself in the saddle by sitting
up straight and maintaining your shoulders
about eQuidistant from the horses ears.
l have spoken first Of what you should do
for the animals comfort, because that
should be your first consideration. We will
now consider what he should do for your
comfort and enjoyment.
il horse accustomed to be ridden by a
woman will probably lead off in canteriug
with his right fore foot If, however. he is
ridden frequently by men, TO whom by
reason Of their superior seat, it is inmate
rial which foot leads, he may put forward
the left first, and the result will be for you
an uncomfortable seat. Some spoiled and
petted saddle-hOrses have this trick of retail
iating upon women riders who make them
do contrary 10 their own wishes and ideas
while on trip. They seem to know it Is
disappearing. and an animal will do it who
would not think of doing any other mean
thing; and great many women ride all
their lives submitting to the trick, either
not knowing what the trouble is OF that it
can be remedied. As you sit on the
course easier for you that the shoulder
most in motion should be on the farther
side from you. The expression Heading
foot" is not correct, inasmuch as this foot,
which Is the one thrust furtherest forward,
Is the last one moved when the horse can
feet strike the ground, one later than the
other, and one In advance Of the other, so
thas the fOTefOot moved forward last takes
longer stride and is planted in advance Of
the ether. This naturally gives more
shoulder motion on the side that Is lead

IS the longer. III this side be the left the
tendency is TO raise your knees and lifeline
your body too far to the right side Of the
morse. IL is sometimes necessary to ride
THUS, as IN turning sharp corner he should
lead on the side toward which he Ia to turn.
III he does not know enough to do this of
his own accord you should be able 20 make
him do 1t. III he starts with the left foot in
the lead pull him up and, starting again,
strike your whip or crop gently behind his
right shoulder at the same time press
ing your heel against his left side. If

to the right. OF course, you are
facing the way you desire to 60, and these
hints, following the prompt stopping after
ne had started wrong, are usually sufficient.
III not they must be repeated with a sharper
blow just back Of the right shoulder. If, ON
the contrary, You wish him TO lead off with
the left foot, thrust Of the heel bshlnd the
left shoulder will have the effect of causing
him to hurry out that foot. To effect this
change while cantering will be more difficult
Perhaps you may not be able to do it at all

your corner at moderate pace. Practice,

put In your word of command. DO itcalmly.
He will know by your voice whether you
are frightened or not, and your terror will
only augment his. When he shows an IN
clination to slew up. then you can press
him on.
A frightened or angry horse Will some
times rear under his rider. This Is dan
gerous trick. particularly when the rider is
woman, but not so dangerous as kicking.
IL you guess his intention you can gener-
ally Illustrate it by sharp blow on the
shoulder and forearm. Usually, however,
he IS up on his hind legs before you know
1t. Your first impulse then will be TO clutch
the reins to steady yourself, and in doing so
pull your horse over backward. \ on should,
however, let 90 the reins and grasp his

his left leg free to come forward readily.
Ii he is leading with the right foot and You
change to the left without his making the cor
responding change with the hind feet pull
him up at once and start over, as he is then
disunited and the element of insecurity is
added to the discomfort first mentioned. 1t
is, by the way, pity that horse should
be always compelled TO lead the right foot,
as that leg then does the most work, and is
apt TO give ont before the others do.
A horse that is ridden by any and every
body soon gets to have an irrespoDsiYe
mouth and an unpleasant habit Of bearing
on the bit. A horse that is both ridden and
driven is apt TO have this habit from leaning
against the bearing rein in harness. The
saddle horse, il put in harness. should never
be checked up" Ii YOU find your horse
bearing hard and difficult to get light in

one hand and In the other take the snaffe
reins, with the left one tighter than the

1t with the right snaff1e rein tighter than the

effect. He may have been driven double

serious OF these that can happen to you is

thing you can do is to stay by your

room, until he comes TO his senses. After
he has run until he Is tired make him run

is most alarming. The animal beneath you

ACTIVITY OF THE BRAIN.
The Time When 1t Works Best Not the
Same With All People.


PittSburg Dispatch.
Disregarding states of excitement, which
do not come within the scope Of the ques-
ton, the brain of healthy man or woman
living a simple and natural life would be
most active as soon as the process Of
awakening is quite complete. But as the
demands OF civilization gradually abro-
gate the processes of nature the period Of
highest intellectual activity will vary ac-
cording to the condition of the individual
mode of life. The brain of the literary
man or the journalist is, as rule. most &C
tive at night, although a study OF the lives
OF the most ce LIBERATED writers will, IT should
be added, disclose a wide variety of period
and method Of work.
Again the highest capabil ties or some
brains are only developed during the time
that the mind is on the borderland between
sleeping and waking. 1t is then that the
brain, shut off, as it were, from the confus-
ing influences Of the external world. seems
to concentrate its energies upon It's stored
up Impressions, to review them with mar
velOus accuracy and scope of vision, and to
recombine them into new shapes and pro-
jects for the future with a clearness aud
originality unknown in actual waking life.
This faculty is, however, almost entirely
confined TO the higher orders OF intellect.
