country church in the vicinity. Among
the types of yokels who attended on
this occasion were farmer and his
wife. who were both noted for their

worthy farmer was persuaded to try
his luck In a rattle, and was agreeably
surprised on the following day to
learn he had won an article described
as all antimacassar. Thinking this

In the United States cavalry service
tl,sts are tsn regiments of IL troops
each, with so men to the troop, not
counting officers, and there are over
1000 horses in the service.
The average Working lie of the cav.
airy horse is about fifteen years and
about ten per cent. of those in the
service die or are discarded every year.
The horses bought every year are
sent at once TO the different forts and
stations, and to the riding school at
| West Point, where rough and fancy
riding is taught, and are put to work
without delay, the soldier taking the

hoofs: The agent records his number
