The trot is essentially an En- elish
pace; that Is, E%nglishmen invented the
practice of rising In the stirrups, by
which the trot can be performed with
the greatest ease to the horse and the
Tloer, says a writer in the Book of
lhe Horse. Never begin to trot until
o are quite at home in the walk,
and feel that you can do nearly all in
the addle that you could sitting In a
chair. Begin trotting on horses easy
IN their action and obedient to the
relns, without being too light-mouth-
ed. There are exceptional horses with
SO smooth and even a pace that it is
not necessary to rise in their trot, or
at any rate p%erceptibly. The CONT
mental and military practice is not to
rise IN the stirrups, but to try to sit
close to the saddle, relieved a little
fups No doubt there must be good
reasons for this practice of humping
(Which was universal with all Euro
pean horsemen, civilian as we'll as
military, until steeplechasing with
English horses and riders was intro
duced into France and Germany, be-
cause it is retained in the British cav

onlcers have been and are hunting
men, who adopt the English style OF
riding when they appear in plain
clothes or hunting coats. The military

ting, although he receives his first les

sons on a snaffle bride without STIR
rups. Trotting and rising in the stir
rups should be performed with the
snafhe rein only; the feet so placed
in the stirrups that the heel can be
kept we'll down without strain, the leg
from the knee downward falling
straight and moving as little as pos
slble; the rise and fall to escape
Dumping just as little as the action of
the horse will allow. Some horses
and particularly English horses, are
much more impressive in their trot
than others. The elbows should be
close without clinging to the sides of
the rider, and the snafle rein should be
held firmly, at the proper length, in
each hand, and not be allowed to slip
a hairs breadth as long as the trotting
continues; in this respect differing
from the mode of regulating the reins
IN the canter or gallop. In the trot
the rider appears to support the horse
on the snaff1e bit; of course he does
not do SO; 63t the weli-trained horse
relies on the rider to hold him to that
pace. Horses may be trained to trot
with a loose rein (the fastest trotter
l ever possessed did this, and also to
siacken their pace and halt as soon
as the rider with a soothing word sits
down and loosens the reins. Perhaps
more vulgarity is displayed in trot-
ting than in any other pace by hard
riders of the sporting publican class,
their admirers and i~nnitators. It is a

AGNES HISTORY.

She IVES born in the prison ward Of
the big hospital.
Her mother, a slender, dark-eyed
girl of barely 20, had been arrested for
fortune telling only two weeks before,
and now lay sad and silent, u%nheeding
OF the doctors, the nurses, or even the
chubby bunch that kicked and cried be-
side her.
She did not seem to remember about
the baby. Even when they held 1t up
before her she did not realize that it
belonged to her, and that if her life
ended another weaker one would be
left to fight and face the world alone.
And so hat night she died. The
doctors knew they could not save her,
because she did not care to live.
How beautiful she must have been"
the night nurse whispered. do you
know anything about herr"
The doctor shook his head. NO." he
answered, nothing beyond the fact
that she told fortunes to save herself
from death, and so brought on this
last misfortune, which made her wish
to die. When l asked her If she had
no home, and where the baby's father
was, she just began to cry. You see"
and he took the limp, white hand be-
tween his own, "she wears no ring"
NO." the nurse said, quickly, "but
she has it here" and she drew out a
little cord that lay about the slender
leck, and on it hung a plain gold we'd
ling ring.
In the morning the question arose,
VIVA: shall we do with her?" AS
usual thing the babies whose mothers
deserted them in this fashion were
packed off to the founding asylum,
nut doctors as we'll as nurses had fallen
n love with her.
At last it was decided, and with the
Varden's consent she was carried off to
ward where not a shadow Of the hate
III prison bars was left upon that
mall, bright face. But there arose the
ecessity OF a name, and a little con-
lave was held around her bed one
morning.
1t was easy enough to decide upon
he first name-it should be Agnes,
fter the nurse who had known and
owed her first down in the prison
ard, and so, with the aid of the chap
hin, she was christened, but when they

Mating for Slse.

Mr.. E. Cobb, in the Feathered World
OF July 20, makes the following re-
marks on mating for size and shape.
"The male bird undoubtedly exer-
cises a certain amount of influence in
regard to the size and shape of the
offspring; but to attempt to remedy
as so many amateurs do-the defic-
iency of size in their stock by the pur-
chase of an extra large cock, is the
wrong way to go to work. The hen
has far more influence over both the
size and shape of the progeny than
the male has. Take a broad shoulder
ed, deep chested cock and mate with
narrow shouldered hens, deficient also
in breast, and the result of such a
union will be but little. II any, i'm
provement. Had, however, the tables
been turned, and the hens possessed
the size instead Of the cock, far great
er improvement would appear in the
offspring; but, as we before remarked,
he male bird does exercise a certain
influence. 1t will be found that by
breeding from large hens and a cock
NNhSASAI Al bu1o ISSpSCL LuS pun
let's produced show a far greater i'm
provement than is observable in the
cockerels. and 1t is only by continuing
the process Of breeding from large
hens that the cockerels will far out
distance the original cock. There is
no question but what the best plan
is to have size and shape on both
sides; but II a deficiency must occur
on one side or the other, do not let
it be on that Of the hens"
The above is truth undeflsd. We
regret that a common practice among
amateur fanciers is a tendency to
breed from overgrown and abnormal
ly large males. Many a fine cockerel,
because he happens to be understood,
albeit correct in shape, IL cast aside.
and some big, coarse brute, because Of
his size, is selected to mate with an
average lot Of females. Mr.. Cobb's
advice should be carefully considered
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Fancler.

sured of an abundance of feed through
the coming winter, which they will be
able to provide at a low cost, owing

WHY HIS SHOES HURT.
JabbIt Discounts His Friends Stories
About Footwear.

They were seated in the back room,
and after e~xhausting all exciting top
les Of the day the conversation turned
on the subject Of shoes. One man held
that there was no sense In paying fan
cy prices; it was better to get cheap
shoes and buy them oftener. Another
claimed that he found it more econom-
zeal to pay Waxend $12 a pair for his,
as they outlasted three cheap pairs
and looked better all the time. A third
raised his foot to the level of the
table and said: There is a pair |
bought eighteen months ago for IS.
| have worn them all the time and
they have Eve needed repairs and
never hurt my feet for a minute" Then
Jabbit broke in. He was on the third
day Of spree and he pointed a wabbly
finger at his feet and said: That's
funny. There's a pair l have had on
only two days and nights and they
hurt my feet already"

Bees Used as MlssIIen in W.,

There are two recorded instances in
wMch bees have been used as missiles
in war. The first occasion was at the
siege of Themiscyra, when the Roman
general Lucullus was warning against
Mithrfdates. The Romano bui1t
mounds and mines, and the people NJ
Themiscyra opened these mines nv
digging into them, and hurled hives
OF bees, as we'll as wild animals
through the holes onto the Roman
workmen. Bees we're onre mead IN
England with equal success. Cheste,
was besieged by the Danes and Nor
Wesians. The town was defended by
the Saxons with Gaelic auxiliaries and
they repulsed the Danes, but the Nor
Wegians, who protected themselves NV
means Of hurdles. tried to breas
through the walls into the town. Then
tho Saxons collected all the beer and
water and boiled them together. This
mixture they poured upon the Nor
Wesians. who were under the hurdles.
The N~orwegians. however, covered
the hurdles with hides to preven being
scalded. The SaXons' next move "a
to get all the beehives in the town
and throw them down upon the Nor
wegian army. The enraged bees stung
the men in the hands and legs, and
the swelling which resulted prevented
them from moving IN the end The
Danes and Norwegians retired. and left
the Saxons in peace.

Is Alum POisOnouaP

Alum is used by many bakers to
whiten their bread, enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and it is also en-
ployed as a cheap substitute for cream
Of tartar in the manufacture of baking
powder. It's usa in bread and baking
powder is very detrimental to health,
producing dyspepsia and obstinate
constipation, and under certain condi-
lions of the human system results in
poisoning. What these conditions are
so far as each individual is concerned
can only be surmised: some peculiar
ity Of the system producing a morbid
change in the secretions of the stom-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the Sc
cretions may be healthy but in abb
normal proportions, and these lesser
or greater proportions in combination
with the alum constitute a poison just
as two parts of mercury and two parts
chlorine form calomel, which is not
poisonous, while one part of mercury
INT two parts of chlorine yield a cor
rosive sublimate, which is a most dead
~ poison.
