An Ingenious Instructor.

A horse to be susceptible to train

ty, quick to understand and to put
his conceptions into action, writes
Prof. George Bartholomew In the
New York Press. 1t makes no diff
ference as to the age or sex OF the
animal; OF course young horses are
preferred to old ones. But old horses
have been trained as successfully as
young ones. For some time | don't

An electric railway shortly to be con-
structed from New York to Philadel-
phia will carry passengers the entire
trip, ninety miles, in an hour, and 1T
is announced that similar line, run
ming cars at the speed of 100 miles an
hour will soon connect st. Louis and
Chicago. Already, there are signs of
a conflict between electric and steam
railway interests, remarks the Atlanta
Constitution. Electric roads do not
need deep cuts, heavy fills and ponder
GUS locomotives. They can be run
very cheaply, and hence their charges
will be lower than those of the steam
railways. Naturally, these new lines
will be formidable competitors OF the
old ones, and in granting charters the
Legislatures will have some difficult
questions to consider. Connecticut
has just adopted general law which
nrovids for the control of such enter
prises by local communities. No speed
is allowed higher than twenty-five
miles an hour, and the railway COM
mission must grant its consent before
any electric road can be constructed
which substantially parallels a steam
road. Merchandise and heavy bag
gage are not allowed to be carried on
the electric cars, and the whole sys-
tenn is under the rules of the railway
commission. Steam may always be a
factor of transportation, but 1t goes
without saying that the cheap electric
railways will revolutionize travel and
traffic.

At this time of year, when every
body Is Irettlng about letters OF credit
and all the other makeshifts to avoid
penury in a foreign land, it occurs to
the mind unskilled in questions of
finance to wonder why we cannot have
one single international coin, which
would be good wherever it is spent,
says Kate Fields Washington. An en-
tire National currency is boon re-
served for our grandchildren, but q
single gold coin of the value say of 80
and a half would be an immense con-
venience to travellers A moderate
sum in such coins would not be bur
densome, and before leaving each coun-
try the National currency could be cx-
changed into them at the hotel office
or the nearest shop without any fuss
and feathers whatever. Multiples of
such coin, to the extent of hundred
or more, would be easily portable, and
fractions of it would not be large
enough to cause serious embarrassment
to most travellers. The amount OF
time and trouble which single inter
national coin would save is almost In
calculable.

Says the New York Sun: The re-.
port of the Civil Service Commission
shows that women are going into civil
service in larger numbers than ever,
and that there is comparative decrease
in the number of men who are now en-
tering the executive departments.
There Is no great reason to regret that
such is the case. The pay that the
average Government clerk receives is
by no means enormous for a man of
ability, while the work Is of kind that
most women can do easily and well. A
department clerkship ought not to
tempt any young man of enterprise
and talent, but many such have buried
both qualities in the dispiriting routine
of such a career.

It is stated that the proportion Of
physicians to population, i'll the
United States, Is one in 600. In Eng
land the ratio is one in l000,iu France
ono in 2GQ3 and In Germany one in
280O. 1t is probable, suggests the
the New York News, that the dis
cropanoy may DO accounted for in The
fac! that medical practice is u more
profitable business in the United
States than any other country on earth.
The average German physician, for
instance. would be glad to get half the
rates for his practice that the New
York physician of even grade enjoys.

down below his head; make him
lower his head little aud then put
the stick in his mouth. That drill Is
followed until the stick is placed
on the ground and he consents
to take hold Of 1t and pick 1t up

throw the stick on the ground, say
"pick that up; give it TO me" and he
will obey, l now take strap OF

The pistol IS not loaded at first. He
must be taught that the strap is the

the pistol with a blank cartridge
from which two-thirds OF the powder
has been extracted, then let him pull
the strap. The report OF the pistol
makes a slight noise and the horse
Will probably start back. Without
reloading the pistol let him pull the
strap few times TO convince him
that he is not going to be hurt. At

The Most DiRicuIt Lesson.
Probably the most diffiCult thing to
teach horse is the meaning Of words
and sign language. | am careful

cal movement to indicate their mean.
| ing Give the horse the word, and al
the same time in some way show him
| the movement you wish him to make.
You want to teach him To obey the
command to turn TO the right. Each
time you give the order turn him tC
the right pat him approyingly, gC
away, and again tell him to turn t
the right. Continue turning him tC
the right until he knows the meaning
Of the command. 1t is by this proc
css that one horse will learn another
horses name. In the presence Of the
animal | call another horse, whicL
may be standing over in Il corner, hy
name. He comes t. me. The horst
who is learning his lesson knows IL IL

he is not called for. He hears m'

The exhibit of the National League
for Good Roads at the Worlds Fair
cannot fail TO accomplish great things
for the cause. 1t will show those
concerned the difference between n
first-class road and bad one, and
teach them the rudiments, at least, of
scientific roadmaking. Thus interest
in the subject will be aroused and
wisely directed. "Thc exhibit will be
one Of the attractions of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and it is TO be
hoped" remarks the New York Trib-
une, "that no one of our New York
farmers who visit the fair will miss
