a Study in Horssmanship.

The South American Gauchos are
by far the most picturesque, and at
the same time the most reckless
riders in the whole outfit, although
il is possible that the Cossacks might
dispute this claim. They ride with a
stirrup SO short that their knees are
hunched up close to the horses neck.
The Gauchos never let their horses
stumble or fall, in which respect they
are the exact opposite of the Mexi-
cans, who are the poorest riders in
the show. A Cossack looks almost
like n centaur. He appears to be Il
part Of the horse, and depends upon
the stirrup almost entirely to keep in
his seat. The horsemanship of the
Gnuchos and Cossacks is convincing
argument in favor Of short sir,ups.
can saddle, which means that the
legs are extended full length, and
rest very lightly in the stirrup. They
control their horses by touching the
neck with the rein, never by pulling
on the bit. The American cowboys
ride after fashion peculiarly their
own--a long leg and n tight hug with
the calf. The Irish are exemplars OF
the old-fashioned English cross-coun-
try style, very graceful. and capable
Of being continued for hours without
fatigue. 1t cannot be said that the
German cavalrymen are good riders.
Most Of them are heavy men. They
adhere strictly to the German army
style, stirrup and leg and make n
high rise from the saddle. The
American cavalrymen are splendid
horsemcn, and they are just the
weight All OF them are 1.-the, mus
cular fellows. They stick close to
the saddle. The Frenchmen are n
little heavy for graceful riding, but
they follow the French school closely,
which Is not unlike the English.
The natural riders are the Indians.
They spurn n saddle. An unstrapped
blanket serves for seat. Indians
are never thrown. Their horses sell
dom, IL ever, fall. They cling to
their horses with the inner muscles
of the leg, which, from constant rid
ing, become as hard and tough rs

folk. in that section were generally
exempt from smallpox, and from
the casual remark of mixer had
learned that this was supposed to be
due TO the fact that many of them
had accidentally contracted cow-pox
from sores on the cows teats, and
so became insusceptible to the con-
tagion of smallpox. Experiments
proved this TO be correct. for in two
years. Ienner vaccinated over 5000
people with the virus of cow-pox,
and those persons were afterwards
exposed to smallpox without effect.
From using animal virus, virus be-
gan to be taken from the sore on
persons arm and thus transmitted
from one to another. This practice
existed for over 70 years, when it
began to be noticed that the protec-
ton was not SO great. Naturally
the lymph, passing through millions
of human system, became exhausted
in efficacy, and but for the timely
discovery of new cases of cow-pox,
the consequences might have been
disastrous to the cause.
In these days, nothing but animal
virus is used. and the most scru-
pulous care is exercised that none
but healthy COWS shall furnish virus.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular pre-
scription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina-
ton of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonial, free.

preston with aggression. An aggres-
sive advertising campaign, judicious
ly conducted, is bound to be successful
in so called dull times" as well as in
the buster periods. The public is al
ways interested in a well told and
reliable advertising story, and money
invested therein is by no means
thrown away. The enterprising
merchant is never frightened into
paralysis of his advertising faculties
by a season of depression.

AGGRESSION VS.. DEPRESSION.

There are not few business men
who sincerely believe that vigorous
advertising is a proper and relia BILE
antidote for dull times, and the read
ers of the CALIFORNIAN have reason
TO know that many of the mer-
chants of this section have thorough
ly applied this antidote during the
depression of the past few months.
Printers Ink, published in the inter
est of wide awake business concerns,
calls attention to the way in which
a prominent Burlington house dealt
with the dull season-namely
"Times are hard things look blue;
reduce the advertising expenses.
The inclosed copy sheet shows how
we are going to fight the hard times
by increasing our expenditures for
printers ink"
Then follows a largely increased
contract for advertising space. This

Apropos of what the CALIFORNIAN
said last week about the large num-
Der of unemployed women in our
cities who might find good homes if
it were not for their foolish pre-
JUDGES against working OUT" it is
interesting to note that the citizens
relief committee at Boston on Friday
announced that they would not give
employment to women who can get
work as donestics. There is not the
slightest touch of injustice in such
action by the committee, and it
throws a part of the responsibility for
idleness exactly where it belongs.

PossIBLYA COMPROMISE.

The fortunes of the Wilson tariff
bill rise and fall, and the latest ad-
vices from Washington indicate such
changes by the senate committee as
to bring it before the upper house in
the shape OF compromise measure.
The Subcommittee, to whose tender
mercies the bill has been referred, is
having a struggle to get it into such
a condition as will warrant its be-
ing voted for by the democratic
senators without division. The
iron, coal and sugar interests are
making themselves heard, and it IS
not improbable now that the bill
will be very much altered when pre-
sented to the senate. An effort is
being made to have the income tax
cut out of the main bill and brought
up as separate measure.
The b-committee will have a diff
hcult job to SO reconstruct the tariff
bill as to make it acceptable to all
sections of the country.

Rutland is having not a little ex-
citement over the prevalence of ty-
phoid fever. There are several cases
in the House of Correction, and
local physician has stirred up the
community by declaring that that
institution is defective from a sani-
tary point of view; that the drink
ing water Of the city, while not yet
containing marked impurities, needs
prompt attention by the proper au-
thorities; and that the death rate in
Rutland is not much below that of
the state, which has been quite large
of late. This note Of warning having
been sounded, it becomes the city of
Rutland, as we'll as other towns in
the state where a wrong condition
of things exists, to adopt prompt
and effective measures for the pre-
Of the public health.
