In the Cavalry Charge His Own Fury l.
Half the Battle.
The fiery spirit Of the horse has been
greatly subdued in servitude. but is not
entirely conquered. The hunter and the
charger. when in tho excitement of the
chase and battle, are far from being
mere dummies on which their master
rides. The judgment of u good hunter
is oftentimes better than that of his
town bred rider, who. by attempted
guidance, brings both to grief.
Houssay relates that wild horses meet
ing an equine friend in harness are

his whip they will crowd closer, bite

The Editorial Page.

G. J. s. writes to find out why the
editorial page of a newspaper is always
loaded.
To this question there are two an.
swers: First, in the early days it was
customary TO pay editors by the line
and to permit them to occupy only SO
much space. The leads were consequent
ly put in to prevent them from earning
a decent living; hence the expression
so much favored by Rushville journal
lists. The poor editor.
Second, it has probably been noticed
that it is only the most important news
in tho paper that is loaded. and these
leads are therefore put ON the editorial
page to fool the people into believing
that they are important and to induce
them TO read them.
This should be labeled "A Joke. -

Short and Expressive Names For Popular
Flowers as Used by Florists.
That florists and florists clerks have
language Of their own when it comes
to the making up Of orders is an inter
esting fact not appreciated by the young
man who wishes to send bunch of vi
olcts or roses to his best girl, or the IA
ther of family in swelldom who re-
ceives a large monthly bill for the dec
oration of his parlors. Respectfully and
deferentially does the florist stand by n
customer and murmur the longest floral
names without authorizations.
But when he and his assistants are
alone horticultural titles are clipped
short. The most cherished and expcn-
sive blossoms, no matter how great their
dewy fragrance may be. are treated
with scant respect.

SKATING IN CHINA.
Its Utility In Carrying on the Internal
Trade of the Country.

Trade OF the Country.
Skating is q business with the China
man rather than sport, for he con-
trives to turn frozen canals into convcn-
lent highways for his merchandise, as
they do in Holland and Denmark. Pas
sengers are carried in sledgc chairs, pro-
PEELED by an active Celestial on skates,
and there is no more enjoyable way of
making a tour round the II miles OF
wall which encirclcs the ancient city Of
Peking than in n sledge of this descrip.
tion. The canals afford facilities for loco
motion which are not to be found in the
dirty streets, crowded as they are with
overworked humanity
1t is not likely that the Celestials will
ever astonish the world with q rival
to our Smarts or Sees, for they do not
aim at great speed of progression. but
they arc nevertheless fairly qualified
adopts in their way, and there have been
some efforts made to introduce ice yachts
out there. which would indeed bc a
grand thing not only for sport, but for
the transport of goods at time when
all traffic is practically as a standstill,
owing to the impossible condition of the
wretched causeways which do duty in
China for highroads. There are over 30
miles Of the Pci-Ho annually covered
with ice several feet thick, bank to
bank, extending from Tung- Chau, the
port of Peking. to the mouth Of the riv-
or ut Taku, in tho gulf of Chill. What
u noble race course this would form for
our fen skatersi
1t is not commonly known that tho
capital of China is icebound for five
months out of the l2. or that the stolid
looking Chinese could ever be graceful
skaters. yet both these facts are well es-
tablished The Chinese use q very infe-
rior style of skate, of their own manu-
facture-a mere chunk Of wood arranged
TO tie on the shoe and shod with rath-
er broad strip Of iron. There is no at
tempt at elegance Of design or at any
thing approaching a spring fastening.
A pair Of "Acmes, when shown by tho
writer to some native students in the
Chinese capital. produced unbounded as
tonishment and admiration by their
ncatness and strength. On the other
hand, the very cheapncss and simplicity
of the common native made article tend
to make skating general. -Pittsburg

the garment of the bridegroom and tied
them into knot. which he gave the

modern saying about tying the knot in
regard to marriage
