IT'S DIFFERENT NOW.

One of the tricks OF training trot-
tiers in the good old times was teach
ing the horse to "break and catch,
and we yet often hear a horse re-
commended on the score of being a
''handy BREAKER" as if the jumping
Jack accomplishment was the finish.
ing touch of artistic training. Mr..
Marvin, who will generally be con-
ceded the most thoughtful and
original of trotting horse educators,
in his book pungently condemns
this form of misconducted education
in training, and points out that the
aim should be not to teach a horse
to break handily, brit to trot without
breaking at all, says the RorSemau.
Ofcourse it is we'll to feel that if
your horse does lose his stride under
pressure he can be quickly squared
again, but the driver who deliber-
ately drives a horse off his feet
simply to teach him how to correct
the mistake is training to no good
purpose. The horses that win races
nowadays are not the "handy beakers
and catchers," but the honest, fast
and level trotters.
1t is unnecessary to say that a
trotter of extreme speed can not
break without loss OF time and the
wasting of energy. The ideal ttot-
ter we are all aiming to produce is
the trotters who know no faster gait
than the trot, and who hold to it as
naturally as a scared thoroughbred
does to the gallop. Indeed many
of our fastest trotters hardly know
wnat it is to break at speed and the
more days and weeks a horse goes
without making break in his work
or his races the better are our best
trainers pleased.
Under an intelligent enforcement
of the trotting rules a horse can not
win through his hardness in break,
ing and catching, and the clauses
penalizlng breaks are, it IS pleasing
to say, being more rigidly enforced
than ever The day OF the "break
and catch" trotter and the snatch
and hoopla driver is passing, anc
for them the night cometh apace.

THE GRE.

pulled out of the nose, the hair or the
ears of any one in the audience, and
dropped with a clink into the hat.
Sometimes the operator stands on the
stage, and pretends he is catching
coins in the air. If any one in the
audience will observe he will notice
that the magician pulling coins from
the lmpalpable nowhere always takes
care to keep the back of his right hand
10 his audience.
A MaH and Express reporter was
told by superannuated conjurer how
the trick is done. The left hand,
which holds the hat, has some ten or
fifteen coins in it and whenever the
right hand pretends to drop a coin
the illusion Is made perfect by the
left hand dropping coin instead.
The coin in the right hand remains
there and is cleverly "palmed." If
the palm of the hand were turned to
the audience the illusion would soon
be dispelled. The only difficult thing
about it is "palming," or holding the
coin in the palm of the hand and per-
mitting it to get to the fingers when
the pretended catch is made.
1t will be noticed that the operator
throws his hands up as if grabbing the
coin, but that movement enables him
to easily transfer the coin from his
palm to his fingers. Then the proud
wizard holds the half dollar a second
IN triumph between his thumb, fore
and middle fingers, and with an air,
which plainly says he is the greatest OF
Mephistos, conveys it to the hat. In
stead Of dropping it in the hat he
quickly palms it and goes back with
his right hand to catch the same half

away and betrays his secret to the care
full onlookers is when he holds up the
hat with his left hand toward the
proscenlum arch and coin unseen
falls and clnks in the bottom of the
hat.
One can then see how the left hand
grasps the hat, the fingers and palm
being on the inside of the crown and
the thumb doing yeoman's duty hold
ing the short rim OF the silk chapeau.
The coin could fall from no place
save the hand holding the hat, and the
noise OF the clipk, not being loud
would naturally lead TO discovery
When the Performer goes down among
the audience and begins 10 pull coins
from noses it requires quick and expert
work. After a time be gets tired o.
pulling out Coins and confidentl,

to every tree, the shrubs trees forty or
fifty. This rule applies, of course, to
only large growing shrubs the smaller
ones can be tucked IN round about.
1t is an excellent plan to establish a
lofty tree, like the elm, tulip, or pop
lar, at each marked angle of the place
and at each side of the carriage en-
trance. 1t tends to give character to
the entire lawn. If you have room
enough one of the ways of emphasiz-
ing certain interesting parts of your
country place, and especially the
pleasant home character of the house,
Is to establish grove near that build
ing. Set out the best shade trees
elms, naples, beeches, tulip trees,
liquid ambers and Understand let
them stand forty or fifty feet apart, SO
that they may grow into broad and
lofty trees, dispensing abundant shade.
Such a grove near the house will give
perpetual delight throughout the year.
Even in the Winter, during snow and
ice storms, you will find unfailing
pleasure In contemplating the unex-
Pected and magical effects of snow
and ice in your grove, and moreover
find comfort in seeking its protecting
shelter if you have planted few pines
in the midst. Planting groves means
to many people simply the setting out
of a cluster of trees eight or ten feet
apart and allowing them to slowly
crowd each other to death. Properly
managed, the grove may be the most
delightful and admirable feature of all
country places, except the smallest,
and even there one great elm or beech
may be grove in ITSELF In adjusting
the vlstas by means of your planting
you should see that the longest lines
of view are secured. Let them extend

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Life on farms and in villages hum
dred years ago was very different from
that of the present day. The houses
were built of logs, the chinks. daubed
with clay, the roof thatched with grass,
or, in the case of the more prosperous
owners, the logs were hewn square, so
to need no cbinklng, or a frame of
heavy timbers, sometimes eighteen
inches in diameter was made. Two
small lead frames, set with diamond
shaped frames of glass or oiled paper
served for windows. The principal
rooms were the kitchen and best
room.
The chief feature OF the kitchen was
the great fireplace. The room was six

NEW MOWN HAY.

new mown hay that surpasses In this
occult power almost ali other per-
i tumesP Is it tt at the very essence
of imperishable vitality, the earth
mothers strength and enfoldins
love, is contained in the grass-the
patients, long suffering, sturdy,
multitudinuos, beautiful grass which
feeds the cattle, and carpets the
hills, and creeps to the very edge of
the road side, and springs up in the
ruts, and spreads its soft thick cover
let oyer the graves of our dead?
Nothing else so rests the tired eye,
so springs back under the tired foot.
When the vagrant impulse awakens
in our breasts, The nomad instinct
stlrs, we are tain to go where the
grasses wave and the old trees lean
lovingly over them.
The wearied man of business, hard
pressed with the routine OF the
counting room, becomes boy if he
can but secure holiday in the time
of making hay. He goes into the
field with bouyant step, and you
hear his voice ringing in joyous
shout as he counts the rolling
SWaths.
How children love to tumble in
the hay, and how defrauded they
are OF cne of childhood's chief
delights if they never know the
glory OF riding homeward to the
barn On top of the great billowy
load!
To some of us older people the
newmown hay brings back the days
of the war-the four vivid, thrilling
years when the land was full of
marching men, of banners, drums,
and bugles-when every day had
its fierce excitements, its exaltations,
and its depressions. To think how
mothers and wifes and sweethearts
then watched the papers in the sum-
mer-tor the hardest battles were
fought not when wintry rigors
bound the earth, but when the birds
sang, the lilies bloomed, the apples
ripened apace, and on far northern
uplands the farmers made hay.
To one household, perched in a
crag of the mountains, there arrived
a great triumph in one of those sum-
mers. Their Harry had been a
Brigadier-the boy had risen step
by step from the ranks, SO brave, SO
manful, was the stuff in him. Father
came in from the hay field with the
letter that told of it in his hand.
The very young do not under
stand this trick association. They
have yet TO grow up TO the know
ledge that souls remain young,
though bodies change and take on
new impressions with the years.
They perceive an old man, an old
woman, and sometimes smile at
the sentiment which seems to linger
untimely in these withered PERSONAL
ties. Not so. Youth is crude. Sen
timent does not reach its full flower
till people have had time to live.

other. What can the reason be
course, the natures might gradually
shape themselves 10 the lives being sc
entwined, habits, manners and modes
OF living would necessarily become o.
the same pattern if the proper con-
geniality existed. Yet why the feat,
ures should change is a mystery. Yet
change they do. Perhaps the working
of the inner natures, growing daily
more and more alike, influence the
expression, and IN that may lie the
resemblance more than in the actual
likeness in the color of the eyes, the
nose or the curve of the chin. Be
that as it may, a scientific research
into the matter and the examination OF
the photographs of a hundred couples
married from ten years up to fifty went
to prove that those who were contented
in their married life were congenial IN
tastes, and lnclinations more strongly
resembled each other than those who,
to put it in every daY parlance, led
cat and dog life. Yet In all stood out
strong and unmistakable before the
searchlight of science, the fact tha
these pairs joined in wedlock grew
with each succeeding year more like
each other. This comes as a warning
and a revelation to the men anc
maidens of to day who are contem
plating matrimony. If both are gooC
looking then they need have nothing
to fear, but if one or the other is posi-
lively ugly think of the feelings of the
better looking one who knows
that in times dominated by The

THE PROPORTION OF MEN To
WOMEN.

1t would appear from the census
reports upon sex that we are advancing
to state of bachelorhood but bare
figures in this case, as in many others,
are deceptive. Without doubt the
figures, which show disproportionate
number of males in the country, are
correct. Women each year have been
heavily discounted in numbers by the
men. The tendency is characteristic,
not of any advancement of the world
physically, but of stage IN every ma
tons development. We are building
up great country, and immigration
is showing its effects here in this in
crease in one sex over the other. Man,
as the forerunner in settlement and in
the manufactures, has come to this
country in greater numbers so far than
woman, and for some little time to
come we may expect the same ten
dency to be shown, though the ratio
OF men to women il we consider only
this one agency in population, will
gradually become less.
The census figures for 1890 show
32,o67,SSo males in the United States
to 3o,554,37o females, preponder-
ance of females only being shown in
eleven States. And in confirmation
of the explanation we have noted it
may be stated that these States are all
in the eastern part of the country,
where woman's sphere oflabor is more
extensive than IN the West. The Dis
trict of Columbia, Massachusetts,, New
York. New Jersey, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, North Carolina, Mary
land, Rhode Island, South Carolina
and Virginia are the feminine strong
holds, while the male population shows
comparatively stronger in the West.
Gradually Of course, this disproportion
of men in one locality and women in
another is being reduced. The bal
ance is inevitably coming, and each
succeeding year, as more and more
male immigrants find it possible to
bring their wives and families with
them, the ratio of women to men is
increasing. The Eastern States can
hardly be expected to manifest the
effects of this change to the same
degree as the more Western States,
since the female immigrants will be
likely to follow in the footsteps of their

By and by well know each other,
As we never knew before,
When the morn OF life is breaking,
And the shadows fee away.
BY and by we'll cross the river,
Enter in the Golden Gates:
Hear the strains of angel music
Softly falling on the ear.
When the misty veil that hides us
From our dear ones gone before,
Shall be drawn aside forever,
We snail meet them face to face.
By and by our cares and sorrows
From the heart shall roll away,
And our souls shall rise triumphant
When the veil is rent in twain.
When grim death shall cross our threshold
And our dear ones pass away:
While our hearts are torn with anguish
At the thought that we aIust part,
Heavenly voices whisper softly,
