HOLDING THE REINs.


perience in harness to teach hi that
what is behind him will not hurt him
By careful work with your horse both
under saddle and in harness, you will be
surprised how soon he will understand
to properly perform in the dual role. A
snaffie only should be used in harness.
And as it is the same bit he has been
trotted on under saddle, he will take and
keep this gait without word from you.
Use the double bit when riding.
These two bits, when properly adjusted,
are much less severe on the horse than
the single curb, and by its use you are
better enabled to communicate to your
horse, he knowing what gait you wish
him to take from the lines you give the
pressure on. To properly handle the
lines with two bits, take the reins in
the left hand at the place where they
are joined, the curb lines being sewed
together and held inside the snaffle lines,
which are buckled When seated in the
saddle, put the fingers of the right hand
inside the curb rein, the thumb on out
side of snafie, simply holding the reins
while you take them up properly with
the left hand by putting the little finger
between the snaffie and curb reins on the
left side, the third finger between the
two curb reins the middle finger between
the curb and snaff1e on the right side
and bringing all four reins which have
passed between the fingers up ON the
side of the index finger and held firmly
in place by the thumb Of the same hand,
with right hand After drawing the
reins in as much as needed (never hav-
ing removed it from the ends of the
reins) put the third finger between the
two right hand reins, the second be-
tween the snaff1es and the first finger
between the two left hand reins all
held in front of the left hand, leaving
the thumb and little finger free to grasp
the whip, which must be carried as
hearty horizontal as possible.
Always ride with both hands on the
teins, the right in front of the left, but

Mysteries of Heliu,n.

As further experiments are carried
with the new gas called helium-which
was recognized in the sun before it had
been found on the earth--the more re-
markable it appears. Many chemists be-
heve it consists of two gases, yet they
have not been able satisfactorily to di-
vide it. Professor Ramsay, one of its
discoverers, has failed in every attempt
TO make it enter into chemical combi-
nation. Lord Rayleigh has found that it
possesses by far the lowest refractiyity
ever observed IN any gas, and surprise
is expressed at the astonishing distances
traversed by electric sparks in darting
through helium.

Delaware Turkeys.

It is said that the best turkeys in the
market come from Delaware. Very fine
turkeys come also from Philadelphia,
and fine turkeys are raised in Vermont
and Connecticut and other parts, but
Delaware's are said to be the best. The
generally conceded superiority Of Phila-
delphia chickens is familiar. There is
said to be something in the soil in the
region Of Philadelphia that is favorable
to the best growth of the chicken, and
to similar cause is ascribed the supe-

FISH AS FOOD.
Easy of Digestion and a Light and
Wholesome Article of Diet.

Easy of Digestion and a Light and
Wholesome Article of Diet.
1t has been frequently stated that
fish diet, by virtue of the PHOSPHORUS
which it contains, is pre-eminently
adapted to nourish the brain, and that
those who subsist on 1t largely are dis
tinguished for their brightness and in
tellectuality, says the New York
Ledger. 1t is perfectly true that a
small percentage of phosphorus enters
Into the composition of the healthy
brain, and while 1t Is also true that
| fish contains more or less phosphorus
that may and probably does pass into
the circulation, 1t Is yet to be proved
either by theory or by experience that
diet of fish is on the whole better
| adapted to supply the waste of the
brain than a liberal variety of other
allmentary substances, and especially
Of meats.
Fish Is easy of digestion and creates
| little vascular excitement and conse-
quently forms light and wholesome
| article of diet. Saltwater fish are the
best Of any, as their flesh is more solid
more agreeable and healthy, less ex.
posed to putrescence and less vlscid
They possess these excellent qualities
when fresh. When sailed, they have
all the properties Of salt fish and con.
sequently its disadvantages.
Those fish which have scales are II
general the most easily digested ant
the best and of all these fish the fresh
herring appears to deserve the prefer
ence. The herring, Goldfish, turbot ant
founder are perhaps the most digest
ible and best of fish. Salmon an,
mackerel, lobster and most other kind.
of shellfish are more difficult Of diges
ton. The mode of cooking fish Is O
considerable Importance. Frying then
in oil or lard Is an Objectionable proc
ess. In general the process Of boil.n,
is best adapted to render them whole
some. Stewed fish should be avode,
by the dyspeptic. Acid sauces an,
pickles render fish more wholesome 70
the stomach, while butter has ter
dency to prevent digestion, while spic
and salt used In moderate quantitie
facilitate the digestive process. On
of the best sauces that can be use
with fish Is lemon juice.

Movement Against Foot binding.

A strong sentiment against foot bind
ing is beginning to make itself felt in
China even in the most exclusive cir.
cles. A short time ago ten Chinese wo-
men of the highest social position in
Shanghai invited the officers of the
Natural Foot society, an organization Of
foreign women, to a public dinner, and
return invitation soon followed. At
both these functions there was much
discussion of the best way of abolishing
the custom of foot binding. Since then
the Natural Foot society has had pub
lie meeting, at which the Chinese Anti
foot Binding society was represented.
The latter organization is composed of
men of high standing and great infu-
ence, and they intend to petition the
emperor for the enforcement of an an
cient law against foot binding.

Word Sketch Which Scored n Member of
the Hogarth Club.
There is in London an institution
called the Hogarth club, the member
ship of which is restricted to artists and
litterateurs. 1t is something ON the lines
of the old Bohemian club, and both
business men and American millionaires
are strictly interdicted. Whistler is a
member, and, of course, shines by his
witticisms. The lines being strictly
drawn there is always an effort being
made by some outsider to force an en-
trance, and in the case Of Baron Grant
it met with success. Grant was treble
millionaire who had made his fortune
in Turkish contracts and had invested
in an Italian title ON his way back to
London. He was particularly notori
GUS person and quite the last man whom
the Hogarths should have admitted.
However, by dint of buying pictures he
got in and proceeded to make his friends
happy.
One night big dinner was organized
in his honor and Whistler invited.
Though the great artist had refused, he
happened into the club on the importan,
evening and deputation of his friends
finally persuaded him into the supper
room. He appeared, was wildly cheeret
and was at once asked to make speech

There are several kinds of titles. Som,

Noted Women and Marriage.

Noted women have shown no pre-
cocious desire to wed and make homes
of their own. George Eliot was nearer
40 than 80 when she married for the
first time and close upon 60 when her
second marriage took place in 1880.
Charlotte Bronte, though she had sew
eral offers, did not make choice of a
husband = and even then only after
lengthy deliberation-until she was 3S.
George Sand never seems to have lost
her fascination for men, and even as a

her adoring friends and correspondents
