When a gentleman goes out riding the
betto runs before the horse to warn people
to get out OF its way and to hold 1t while the
master dismounts. One of the greatest
drawbacks to the pleasure of driving in
Toxic is the necessity of stopping To let the
groom or bett0 descend and run in front of
the carriage IN order to warn the people,
children espe tally, to clear the narrow
streets; and II one returns home without
having driven over an old man OF child, or
the betto himself, one should be thankful.
The Japanese horse is not q well-trained
or reliable animal, and when viciously in
clined is given to biting This is particu-
larry true Of the rough. half-starved pack
horses used IN some of the country districts,
where one horse is expected TO carry zoo or
500 pounds and TO do long days work on
very little food.
In very ancient times The Mikados were
borne on the shoulders of four men. A sort
of platform of bamboo was made with four
projecting poles, aud on this he sat cross
legged, Later on bullOck-ca were used
upon state occasions. Now the Emperor
rides IN gorgeous gided coach, drawn by
eight magnificent horses These japanese
bull0cks, which may be occasionally seen
in Toxic and Yokohama attached to heavy
loads. look very like smsll buffalues, but
they are very mild and inotfensiye animals.
Pushcarts propelled by men and women
are much c0mmOBer, however. and are in
general use for conveying heavy loads of
wood, vegetables or merchandise. They
have two wheels only, which are of wood,
cleveTiy mortised and unshud with iron.
One Of the strangest, most characteristic
sounds of the cities is the cry of the push
carriers a s they go through the streets. Mr..
Grffis, who speaks of it very frequently,
thinks the following phonetic spelling con-
yeys the best idea of it: Hal! huida no!
hol hal huidai wal hOl hOl huidal" All
coolies cry this alike, and though there are
cry, the men behind contenting themselves
with pushing.
The norImono or incosed palanquin,
such as is still used in China and was to be
seen in japan until few years ago, seems
to have completely disappeared, though
have been told that they are occasionally
seen in Kio!o yet Kagos are used very
much in the mountains, and are very COM
Portable, though little crsmped for a long
journey. They are made of bamboo bas-

in the bottom, and are so light that they
require only two bearers.

An interesting discussion took place Mt 4
meeting OF the Illindio Kennel CLUB at In
dlanapoiis, March 49, in which the subject
OF advertising the show came up. The re-
suit may be of interest to other similar or
carnations. Two of the members were op-
posed to newspaper advertising, believing
that posters displayed at country stations
and IN the city was the thing. The presi-
gent, as newspaper man, gave his idea !;
ne SAID that already, counting the space at
advertising rates, the newspapers of the
CITY had practically made n donation of
$4,000, and he said that advertisements in
the dallles would reach more people all over
the State quicker and at less expense than
all the posters they could think OF. An
other member said that he once expended
$500 10 advertising for a trotling assoc;a-
ton. Only $50 was divided between the
three leading papers, but it did more good
than all the balance. This settled it and

Every dog has his day." is an expression
that is as old as the hills. yet the represeu-
tatives of the Pacific Kennel Club expect to
give their dogs day on the bench in the
very near future.
The sportsmen of Los Angeles are making
very extensive preparations for their annual
Bench Snow, which will be- held in the
latter part of this month, and judging from
the fayora BILE letters that have been received
by the secretary of the Pacific Kennel Club,

ROD AND CREEL.
Good Prospects for Poor Fishing The
Royal Coacilman.


Notwithstanding that the weather prog
nostieations Of the past few weeks were
decidedly unfavorable for the catching Of
trout by means of hook still there was big
rush OF stream whippers into the interior on
All Fools day.
The usual result of too much haste fol-
lowed, and with very few exceptions the
great majority of ish-hunters returned with
excellent appetites and empty creels.
A lew disciples of the Roe and Shrimp
NluD, whose headquarters are Suffer

dozen large steelheads that had been on n
mission up stream and were returning to old
ocean when lured to their death by the
primitive system of angling-bottoIn fishing.

pounder on No. Royal Coachman-a fly
&hlch had been presented to Butler by John
Bonn, the expert fytier who supplies Presj
dent Grover Cleveland with flies when the
latter goes on his annual fishing tour TO the
Adirundacks.
Butler swears by the rocks of ages that
the fish took the fly as il was sailing on the
top Of the waller and would have probably
escaped were 1t not tor the mastery and
scientific manner in which IL WAS handled
SIT Henry ckham, than whom probably
no better local judge of fiy-casting can be

mon or, scientifically speaking trout having
been caught In the Drackish waters at Point
Reyes on fly hook when used for top fish

Sir Henry says that the fly must have
been tipped with either roe or shrimp, and
that tile fish took it as it was beng pulled
through the water.
The recent rainstorm viii put stop to
fly fishing fer a few weeks. Those who
manipulate the worm may succeed in catch
ing some fish in The small streams, but IL
can be safely said, however, that very few
trout OF good size will be Induced to taste
any artificial lure until the quantity of food

disappears.

Why Hares Do Not Run Well at the

Judging from the healthy appearance of

Horses have been in very general
use in Japan, and as a consequence native
riding is very peculiar. riding should
have ii certain STYLE" according to an old
japanese saying. aad undoubtedly they
manage TO impart certain style" to it.
The trappings, the saddle and stirraps
are1earfcliy elaborate and cumbrous. and
the animals name and tail are decorated in
manner truly wonderful. Tasses and
tufts of silk fiutter from every available
place The proper thing IN riding is to hold
one rein in each hand, grasping them close
TO the bit and drawing them so tight that
the poor beasts nose is as high or higher
than his ears. This is military riding and
is supposed TO give the horse fiery and un-
tanned appearance. Now that the cavalry
is trained and drilled upon European meth
obs this style OF eQuita:ion is going out of
fashion very much. But as the nature of
the country is unfayorable to The employ
ment of cavalry, it is not likely that the
Japanese will ever be very good hGrsemen.
Stations are used by the soldiers and mares
are never ridden. Ceilings arc unknown
and it is usual 10 fiud mares employed
mostly in one city or district and
course, refers only TO the horses owned by
civilians, for. as has been said before, only
the one kind are used by the cavalry.
Every horse in Japan has his own betto or
groom, and II gentleman owns three horses
lie must have three bettoS. A japanese
always mounts his horse on the right side,
combs tile name over the left side, and the

In the native stable there is no manger
or food trough. tor the horse is put in with
his tail to the inner wall and his head to the
door. and when lie is hungry the door is

lie eats his food. The bette or horses at

on his blue cotton kimOno just between the

Tea Culture in America.

Shortly after the war of the secession the
United States Minister of Agriculture nsti-
tuted an experiment in tea-growing on an
estate near Charleston, but the results were
not encouraging. and after a short time the
enterprise was abandoned. A further at
tempt has now been made to raise tea on the
same estate, and the experiments have been
supervised by Mr.. Gotham, tea-panter of
considerable experience in Ceylon. Mr..
Gotham states that the produce of this South
Carolinian estate is fully equal in quality to
the teas grown in India and Ceylon, and
that in his opinion the United States can
easily produce the 100000 pounds of tea
which IL now consumes annually. There
are. he snys, millions Of acres that are suit
able for tea fundamentally the lands
inside the yellow pine belt-and abundance
of cheap labor can be had.

until the streams have became settled and
the 1sfes take up regular summer
quarters"
Hampshire and rainbow have been placed
by the Commissioners Ia several coast
streams within the past two years there has
been no word received by the Commission
ers OF either of the above varieties having
found their way into the baskets OF anglers.
Some authorities contend that the New
Hampshires lose their colors alter they at
tain a certain age in the coast streams.
Then again there are other experienced
pis ciculturists who state that Eastern trout
placed in rivers that wend their way TO the
ocean will follow ''the natives" and dis
appear during the summer months and re-
turn with the run Of steelheads in the win
ter season.
II IS probably yet too early TO pass judg-
ment on what may accrue from the planting
of Eastern trout in the coast streams 1t is
known, however, that trout of from four to
eight inches in length have heen caught this
year In some of the stocked streams which
iesembled young steelheads in appearance,
but when cooked the flesh was Of pink
color. AS the flesh of. the steeIhead is
white, the presumption is that either the
rainbow or New Hampshire trout has come
TO stay. Either variety OF the fontinalis
will afford SD endid sport in running water,
and as they attain n good size in about
three years after planting local anglers may
in few. years hence enjoy better sport
than is afforded in the catching OF finger
lings.
The Fish Commissioners will experiment
with brown trout next year. Every Eng
lishman who fishes knows the grand sport
the brown trout affords
After all that has been said about the
destructiyeEess of the pike, OF sO-called
plckerel-and, really, no one can deny that
it is fond of fish diet-a CORES pondent of
the New York sun charges a speckled trout
with killing pike or pickerel. 1t seems
that several fish of different species were in
| the correspondents aquarium, one being a
16-inch pIekerel and another being three
pound brook trout. The pickerel caught
| small trout in the aquarium, and the
| moment IL did so the big trout darted for
! The pickerel with open mouth. The pick
| erel held on to the little trout, and the big
| trout fought the pickcrel until the little
| trout had disappeared, when the pickerel
! turned on the big trout; but its defense was
! brief, for the trout wounded the pickerel
| in tile gills, and thereafter for hours it
] chased the pickerel around the aquarium,
| biting and worrying it until it died. A pike
| may lie a "iIesh-water shark but big
| trout is by no means lamb.

A FIERCE FIGHT.
A Bald-Headed Eagle and a Large

While two residents OF Galen2, H., were
driving through Southern Wisconsin re-
Gently they witnessed, near Arena, a fierce
fight between bald-beadeded eagle and a
large tomcat The proud bird of the
mountains" had attacked the cat while
hunting in the field. and succeeded ia fas ten
ing lis talons into the animals back, when
the battle Immediately began and was con-
tlnuPd amid the terrific yowls Of the cat and
the screams of the eagle.
1t was a sort of catch as-catch-could con-
test. and while it continued the feathers and
fur tt'w thick and fast. The cat was too
heavy for the eagle to fly with, but it sue
eeeded in raising it several times in the air,
leo feet or more at each effort; but the al
temDts to get away with its prey were
futile, as the weight of the cat and its fierce
struggle for life invariably brough the eagle
to the ground again, where the battle was
repeated with nearly the same result. In
the final bout, which took place on terra
frma, the eagle threw up the sponge and
flew laboriouSly across The river, while the
cat, much worried. made tracks as rapidly
as possible away from the scene Of battle.
