CosSACK HoRSEMEN.
Their Most Daring FeAts Equailed b!
west Point cadets.


The principal exercises IN which tho
Cossacks excel reminded me very
much OF what | was familiar with AT
West Point when the boys were FREQ
to indulge their taste for gymnastics
on horseback. Our cadets. at least u
large proportion OF every class, are
quite as clever with their horses rs tho
average Cossack. ! have seen them
stand on the horses back and gallon
in that position. vault in and out OF
the saddle while the horse Is gallop-
ing, reach down and pick objects from
the ground. leap hurdles with tho
horse. alighting from tho animal Just
before the hurdle is touched, and
vaulting into the saddle rs the horse
clears the obstacle. l have also seen
our West Pointers cnange horses
while ut full gallop, or one take tho
other behind him. All these exercises
have seen done not merely with tho
saddle, but without; and not merely In
the riding school. but while riding
out on country roads.
These are the exercises In which
the Cossack chiefly exccls. writes
Poultcncy Bigclow in the Century. and
II may DO added In parenthosis that
the horse Of the average Cossack re-
semblos in many respects tho degoscr-
ato beast which the government places
at the disposition OF the United States
military academy. Tho Cossack
learns these tricks us u boy when he
is allowed with his mates to ride tho
horses bareback 10 water. and inciden-
tally Is encouraged to indulge In
every manner Of sport on the way.
He is encouraged also TO persevero In

Il has been tho custom until very
recently to consider raisins as an
article Of luxury, and to- deem them
only suited to tho tables OF those who
are able TO indulge themselves in such
things as serve merely to please the
palate. In consequence, however, OF
tho marvellous growth Of the raisin
industry in California and the cheap.
ness Of the product to the codsunier,
the question has been raised whether
the raisin does not possess an intrinsic
food value, independent Of It's tise as q
luxury, and the argument seemed to
favor the affirmative OF tho propo-
sitiofi.
It Is asserted by those who have
studied the question from scientific
and hygfenit. standpoint that the nu-
tritive power OF raisins as compared

London's Increase of Population and
Decrease of Criminals.
"Full schools mean empty prisons, :"
is the motto Of the writer OF iii article
in the current number OF the School
master, and 1t must DO confessed, says
the London News, that the array OF
facts and figures, with which ho fur
nishes his readers, yields abundant
support to this eminently encouraging
doctrine.
Far and wide We can see, that pris.
ons nre. to considerable cxtent, dis
appearing, their sites being for the
most part taken for tho erection of
model lodgiig-hOuses for the poorer
classes. "The jalls have fsilvd," as
some one tersely put 1t, ,ior want Of
adequate support from the criminal
classes" and it is significant that they
began to be in bad way when the
school-board act came into active oper
alton, and have gone on declining step
by stop as the number OF children on
the roll of the primary schools has in
creased.
IN loiu, with population under
23,00O,000, we had in England and
Wales 10000 primary schools. Then
the number OF prisons reached ll2.
In 1890 tho population had increased
to nearly 10000, 900, and the primary
schools to 30, 1000, while the number Of
prisons had fallen to less than sixty:
Roughly speaking. while the number
of children in the primary schools had
increased in the period referred to
about threefold, tho number OF thieves
or suspected persons on tho roll OF
the police records had diminished by
nearly one-third, and this in the face
Of large increase In tho population.
Well mny the writer ask. who In 1870
would not have looked on the man as
dreamer who had vcntured 10 pro-
dict that in the short space OF a quar-
ter OF century. within u radius OF
little more than q milo from West
minister palace, jails should be trans
formed into play places for the work
ers' children; into art palaces for the
improvement OF the workers leisure;
or into schools for the workers little
