Novel Horseback Riding.

When r,3ing by night on the pampas /
used to enjoy lying back on the horse sill
my head and shoulders rested on the ami
mails back. My feet were raised till they
pressed against the horses neck, and in
this position, made by practice safe and
comfortable, l gazed at the starry sky,
seeing nothing of earth, but letting my
mind absorb the impression created by the
vast circle OF the heavens giittering with
innumerable stars.
To enjoy this method Of riding thorough.
ly the rider must have perfect confidence
in the sure footedness of his horse, and the
horse must have similar confidence in
his rider. The animal must go over level
grassy ground and at a swift, harmonious
pace.
Then the illusion is that of soaring
through space-an enchantment height.

Kicked the En- neror,s Horse.

Prince Bismarck told n story of the bat
tlefield of Koniggratz. The old emperor
then the king of Prussia-had exposed
himself and his staff to the enemy's fire
and would not hear of retreating to a safe
distance. At last Prince Bismarck rode
up to him, saying, LAS responsible minis
ter | must insist upon your maiesty's re-
treat to a safe distance. If your majesty
were to be killed the victory would be of
no use to u.s."
The king saw the force of this and slowly
ret-eated, but in his zeal returned again
and again to the front. when l noticed
it," Prince Bismarck went on, Il only rose
in my saddle and looked at him. He un-
derstood perfectly, and called out rather
angrily, Yes, am comingp But we did
not get on fast enough, and at last I rode
up to the king, took my foot out of the
right stirrup and secretly gave his horse
an energetic kick. Such thing had never
before happened to the fat mare, but the
move was successful, for she set off in Il
fine canter.''-Pall Mall Budget.

Gourm and and Epicure.

Pleasing the palate is the main end in
most books of cookery, but it is my aim to
blend the toothsome with the wholesome.
The term gourmand or epicure has been
strangely perverted; it has been conceived
Synonymous with glutton, who will eat
as long as he can sit, and drink longer than
he can stand, or like the great eater of

Sheriff Gordon Invents a Scheme to Get
Rid of Sewer Gas

Sheriff Gordon Invents Scheme to Get
Rid of Sewer Gas
For several years past the Junty ia !
has suffered more or less from al ian.
perfect, system of sewerage. At times
the whole Jail building would become
impregnated with the disagreeable smell
of the gas thai would back up from the
sewer. 1t was not only a matter of
much inconvenience to the residents Ct
the building, but could be detected in
passing along the east side of Fourteenth
street. When The Fourteenth Sir a
sewer to Fifth avenue was built 1t re-
lieved it somewhat, but very often Y
counter current of air would come through
the main that would watt the obnoxious
odor back to the building and surround
ings again.
Sheriff Gordoa has bit upon g
scheme which has entirely gotten rid Of
the gas nuisance once and for all, and
which is simple and unique. He has put
in a connection from the sewer 20 the
rear of the furnace which furnishes stte
steam heat, and the draft thereby pro-
duced centers all the gas and carries it OF
up into the 60 foot smoke stack where il
is consumed. The new connection
works like charm. and is e great relief
to The residents of the building, besides
adding greatly TO its sanitary Condition.

when suddenly the ice gave way and the

His call brought some railroad men near

Later the sleigh was recovered. Perry
says it was the most thrilling experience

The project of certain American fin
anciers to purchase the sovereignty of
the island of San Domingo is likely to
meet with effective opposition from a
very natural source. The natives do
not fancy the scheme. They think they
see in it the beginning of the loss of
their political independence. And they
fought so hard and so well for that

for the right to collect the customs

but it is understood to be about S, 500, :

San Domingo, though rich in natural
resources, has been SO poorly governed
that the republic is head over heels in
debt Everything is mortgaged to the
Inoney-lenders. even to the sale of the
postage stamps. If you want to buy
one you do not go to the post Office, but
to the branch of the Credit Foncier of
Paris, which got the stamp concession
for a loan of $4,000. The islands
finances are so low that it is at present
unable to send an exhibit to the worlds

deeply, for they are very proud of the
fact that Christopher Columbus was i'm
