work of no little management to accom-

The free end of this strap was tucked

Almost any animal will stand still when
one leg is held up. but when the pull on

naturally come to this point very soon;

Some Ways of Doing 1t and Not Doing 1t.

L saw glorious colt spoiled some time
ago.
There is nothing extraordinary about
that. Any one who is much interested in,
or much about, horses witnesses such a
process very frequently. This. however.
was such particularly splendid colt, and
L was interested in his education partly
because friend owned the well-m atehed
young team of which he was one, and
partly because the trainer who had him in
hand had taught an animal of my own to
balk, and l felt dubious about the result
OF his handling this handsome young crea-
ture.
The colt was going along very nicely
when down the road, bowling merrily be-
fore wind, came an object formidable
enough in its appearance to have fright
ened an old horse. In fact do not know
many well-trained animals that would
not have been startled. 1t was
only the broken off. dried end
of branch of eucalyptus. but there was a
strong wind blowing, and the branch was
whiriing along directly in the center of the
road.
Now, if l had been holding the reins
over that colt, who was receiving
his first lesson alone on the road, and be-
having beautifully. 1 would have turned
him down short side road that
ran just there conveniently at hand
and waited tor the terrifying object
to roll by. Not so the trainer.
he told me afterward it was one Of his
fixed rules TO take young horse past any
thing that presented itself on the road.
This is undoubtedly good plan
when it can be rightly done.

began to prick up his ears aud dance a

FAMOUS STAMP COLLECTIONS

Two OF the things that most surprise
the unlnltiated when looking over a stamp
collection OF an ordinary size is the time
that has evidently been expended in its
arrangement and the pecuniary value of
the stamps. To such the statement that
hundreds of thousands of dollars are rem
resented in single collections must seem
preposterous, yet there is one individual
accumulation OF stamps whose value is
estimated at the extraordinary sum of
$4,000 another is valued at about
100000. and there are probably scores
that range between $4,000 and 100000.

between the horses feet. the animal not
offering to do him any harm.
One of these lessons seldom failed to
produce a salutary effect. The horse was
thoroughly tanned, and even in the case of
Cruiser, stayed so, never wholly forgetting
the fact that he had once been thoroughly
subdued by man, although never, either,
did he wholly forget his former vicious
tricks, and once or twice ne did after
ward turn upon his groom, but never
was it impossible to enter his stall or to
handle him. MISS RUSSELL.

meeting with operators. have thus far ar
rived in the city.
In the absence of John Mcbride, the
president of the Miners National Union,

been reserved for operators, but that is the
only place where rooms have been secured.
The miners seem to regret the fact that
more of them could not attend the confer

work so long they have no money with
which to pay railroad fare and hotel bills.
A prominent operator who arrived in
the city tonight said there was no differ

miners. He declares II the operators of
the other States stood out against n settle
