WILD COSSACk RIDERS.
Two Americans Saw Them Break Winter
Camp i'll Tur<estan.

Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, who
went around the world on bicycles,
give the following account of one of
their experiences in Turkestan:
One of the chief incidents of our
pleasant sojourn was afforded by Gov.
Ivanoff. We were invited to head the
procession of the Cossacks on their an
nual departure for their summer en-
campment in the mountains After the
usual religious ceremony. they filed
out from the city parade ground. Be
ing unavoidably detained for few
moments we did not come up until
some time after the column had
started As we dashed by to the front
with the American and Russian flags
fluttering side by side from the handle
bars, cheer after cheer arose from the
ranks. and even the governor and his
party doffed their caps i'll acknowledge
ment. At the camp we were favored
with a special exhibition of hOrseman-
ship. BY single twist of the reins the
their riders crouch down behind them
as a bulwarS in battle. Then dashing
forward at full speed. they would
spring to the ground, and leap back
again into the saddle, or, hanging by
their legs, would reach over and pick
up a handkerchief, cap, or a soldier
supposed to be wounded. All these
movements we photographed with our
camera. Of the endurance of these
Cossaclls and their Kirghiz horses we
had Il practical test. Overtakine' "a
Cossack courier in the early part of
days journey, he became so inter-
ested in the yelocipede, as the Rus
slams call the bicycle that he de-
tarmined to see as much of it as pos
sible. lie stayed with us the whole
day. over distance of ffty-tive miles.
His chief compensation was in wit

whom he would shout across the fields
to come and see the tomaSha. adding in
explanation that we were the Ameri-
,an gentlemen who had ridden all the
way from America. Our speed was not
slow. and frequently the poor fellow
would have to resort to the whip. OF
,hOut, Slowly, gentlemen, my horse

s that in all our experience we found

even over the most ordinary road.--

EXAMPLE THAT RUINS.
Social Customs Which Lead the Young to
Drink.


Drink.
A child's character and beliefs are
largely shaped by the daily unconscious
teaching of his fathers example-far
more, too, by that example than by his
preceptS. The effect of the most elo-
quent and oft-repeated warnings to
fI.un even the taste of rum is entirely
dissipated the moment that boy sees his
father drinking in a saloon. or notes its
fumes upon his breath. Children early
learn that there is a wide difference
between precept and example; and
where Il fathers practice in the matter
of rum-drinlling differs from the pre-
cepts he lays down from the guidance
Of his boy. we may be quite sure that
the fathers example will be followed
as to the practice, and the precepts be
ignored, Actions exert more influence
than words; example is far more potent
than precept.
This principle of unconscious yet
potent teaching by example extends
much further than over the period of
childhood and youth. Many d young
man has been led into the habit of
drinking through the example of his
employer, or of his fellow-worllmen or
fellow-clerll Thousands of men have
wrecked their lives by assuming that
there was no harm in a habit in which
they found their associates or their en-
plOyers habitually INDUCED.
Another striking instance of the evil
of d bad example in the use of strong
drink is found in the fashiona BILE abit
of having wines upon the table at
formal dinners. receptions, etc. The
harm that results from this pernicious
custom is largely due to the example
of a comparatively very few of the
ultra-fashionable set. They are the
leaders of fashiOn-they set the exam
pie, and the others, desirous of being
ultra-fashionable. too follow blindlv
What more striking instance can be
given Of the power of example and of
the initiative instinct of humanity,
prompting us to follow blindly the die
tates of others? We are like sheep; we
follow a leader, even though that lead
er leaps precipice, and we go to our
deaths upon the jagged rocks of ruin
below.
In view of all these facts. it is the
plain duty of every parent who wishes
his sons saved from the vice of intem-
peranee: of every employer who has
young clerks or workmen: of every
one who has the slightest influence
over his fellows (2ud who has none?) to
abstain utterly and entirely from in
dulgence in liquor. 1t matters not
whether we believe Indulgence on our
part harmful to ourselves or not; each
of us owes a duty to those under him,
or dependent upon him, which we must
not shirk. No man desires to have the
ruin of life placed to his responsible
ty. We must set the example of absti-
nence, if we wish to rear a generation
that shall be free from the drink curse;
and that generation will add its power
and its influence to the effort to pulver-
iZe the rum power.-Toledo Blade.
