The great delight of the Arab horsemap
is the fantasiya. The entries contain all
manner Of horsemen, armed and unarmed,
who ride more or less wild figures to more
or less monUtonous drumming music, and
who end by the most excited and exciting
pot pourr Of feat riding. They stand in
their stirrups and throw their guns in the
air, whirl them about in the most approved
warlike style and fire them at intervals in
what seems an uucalled for and dangerous
fashion They rear, wheel, kick, buck,
rush, stop turn. and twist their horses like
30 many tumblers, shouting meanwhile,
yelling. screaming like so many devils No
picture can do Justice to the Kaleidoscope
inrvor and wilduess of the scene if there
are many riders engaged in it. 1t is n seeth-
ing whirlpool OF wild, unmeaning, half
merry, half fpuatiCal excitement, in which
no end OF excellent horsemanshp comes to
the fore.
From time TO time the riders stop and
rank themselves for Il rest on one side, then
out come individuals to show what, single,
their stceds can do. They pirouette and
| piailer and dance, and then make rush at
| full gallop to one or other side, stop sud
denly aud wheel about. There is no specific
art in what they do; each man has trained
| his horse on his own unframed ideas They
have n close seat, clinging with their heels
and exhibit "A great deal of skill in theil
| gyratory exercises, but once seen the fan
tasiya loses its interest. All semiwild ma
tions do about the same tricks on horse
back. | think our Indian easily eNcels then
all, while nothing have ever seen in fan
tasiyas in the faintest degree approaches il
delicacy and difficulty the fine work of

5. A., in Harpers.

A Eeminine MeaIlness.

Did you ever notice the weakness women
have for marking their letters "personalW
They seem to think that by so marking the
envelope the letter will get to its destina-
ton quicker, through the same line of
reasoning which some years ago led women
to write on envelopes Fin haste, supposing
that the postman would Immediately start
on run with them.
This habit Of writing personal" some
times leads to very embarrassing results.

A Hard Times Story.

A man entered pawnbroker's shop in
the Bowery, and laying down SO bill
asked if he could be accommodated with
81 on it. The pawnbroker was an excellent
Judge of money and saw at once that the
bill was genuine So he turned and said to
the stranger, showing the bill toward him
as he spoke that he was in no mood fol-
nonsense, But the stranger, showing the
bill back, rejoined in earnest tones that he
meant business; that he couldn't get any
conductor on horse car to change the bill
that he had already been put off three cars
that his boots were awful tight, and that
unless he could get 81 on the bill he would
be compelled to walk to the Battery. Well
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that the
stranger meant what he said So he took
up the $50 BILL toyed with it a few mo-
ments and then said to him, "Well, my
friend, I'd like to accommodate you, but
owing to the financial stringency / can
only give you 20 cents. journal of Fl.

A canoe is considered by many to be more
decidedly feminine than any othe. c.eft
She is coy, she has pretty little coquettish

displeased she throws one overheard. -Bos-

1t is possible for nearly all flower lovers
TO find wild roses or the fragrant sweet
brier growing near their home, where they
may be successfully transplanted, They
are well worth cultivating, will prove to
be ornamental to any lawn, aud the foliage
is always fine for bouquets. If both the
white and pink varieties can be secured,
they will make handsome group when
planted with the lovely crimson rosa ru-
gosa, which has recently become so popular.

A COLLECTORS LONG SEARCH.
How stevens Finally Got the First English Book Printed In America

Book Printed In America
 Henry Stevens, the celebrated American book collector, who made his homo in London, was seven long years in finding a perfect copy of the Bay Psalm Book" the New England metrical version of the psalms printed at Cambridge in i640. The only copy in England was per feet one at the Bodleian library. which was mentioned in the cata- iogue without distinction among the other psalms in verse.
 Mir. Stevens had often reverently handled this book. but had never spoken of it to the librarian, th ing, as he said, that when he had St. cured a copy for himself it would be time enough to acquaint the learned doctor that ne was enter tanning unawares this angel Of tue new world
 One day, however. on looking over an auctioneer's stock. he came mun the lost Benjamin, clean and unsiot ted. He instantly closed the parve,. which had been described in the cat- alogue as "Ps&lms-l630 to i675, and frightened the string just as tAe man came to lay it on the table.
 A cool determination nerved him. and advancing to the table he began the bids in perfectly neutral tone by sixpence. They went on by six pences until half a crown had been reached and the auctioneer had loosened the string. He took up every volume of which Mir. Stevens was in search and turned to him to say;
 This looks like a rare edition, Mir. Stevens. Don't you think soY'
 Thereupon he raised the bid shil- hngs. Then a spirited competition arose, until finally the lot was knocked down to Stevens" for l9 shillings. He called out "Dehveredn with more energy than discretion and tucked the little volume in his pocket leaving the other seven in the package to take the usual course, whereupon some one asked curl ously:
 What rarity have you got nowf'
 ''Oh, nothing, was the reply, but the first English book printed in America.
 There was pause in the sale while every one took a look at the victor.
 There has evidently been a mis- takel" cried a jocular voice. Put up the lot again."
 No, said Mr. Stevens. If the former owner did not recognize the prize he had won, as he has shown by selling it for shillings, certainly the caealoguer might be excused for throwing it away into the hands of the right person, to rescue, appreci- ate and preserve. l am fully re- warded for my long and silent hunt of seven years.

We have received our fall and winter goods of the best selected line of imported and domestic wool ems ever brought to Arizona. Gen tlemen seeking fine tailoring can secure excellent satisfaction at mod crate prices with us. All our work Is made on our premises by first class mechanics. We have had many years experience in cutting and m making up garments for some of the very best firms east and west prior to coming to Prescott two months ago. We have been with Polasky Bros. and Geo. P. Taylor of Los Angeles, Cal, for the last five years, two of the best known first class tailoring firms on the Pacific Coast. We are here to stay with the intention of building up good trade on square basis. We regret to see the fine tailoring so greatly misrepresented in this locality by eastern and western houses as the work for those firms is made up by inferior mechanics in sweating shops, or filthy Chinese dens.

I minister once had a swearing
 parrot. He complained to a friend
 and the latter told him how to cure
 the bird of its profanity. He said
 as soon as the bird begins to swear
 swing the cage around rapidly ten
 times and then douse a bucket of
 water on the parrot. The next time the parrot began to swear the min ister did as directed. Then, after
 setting the cage down, he glanced at
 the bird half dazed and with all of
 his feathers ruffied, and asked: 'Well, now, how do you feel7" %" said the parrot looking up out of one eye in a quizzical manner, I'm

One of the English newspapers re- gently got quite excited over the management or. as it asserted, mis- management of the Mile End work house. One of the leading items of the list of charges was that the cor sets which were supplied to the lady paupers" were bought for 2s. Sd. a dozen or about cents each. Inves- tigation, however, proved that the lady paupers had not been subjected to the indignity of wearing 5 cent corsets as their only visible sup port, for the managers eonclusively proved that they had furnished luxurious article costing over 35 cents. Upon this journalistic wrath was appeased. New York Sun.
