SADDLES AND BRIDES.

Saddles, in some from are of the
greatest antiquity. Under Tiglath
Pileser III the Assyrian cavalry were
provided with them (see Prof. Sayce S
"Babylonians and Assyrians: Life and
Customs") and the early Romans used
covering of cloth, hide, or skin,
which was no doubt very similar.
These early examples would probably
represent light saddles. The heavy
war saddle seems to be much later,
one of the earliest instances of its use
being by the Visigoths in A. D. $40.
Theodoslus the Great, so years later,
effected great improvements.
Brides were also in use in very
distant ages. Ancient Thessalian
coins often represent a horse with a
long. rein touching the ground. The
young Romans were trained to ride
and mount unassisted, but the use of
the bride was known from the first.
According to Livy, Aulus Cornelius, III
battle with the Fidenae, ordered the
Roman cavalry to unbridle before
charging, probably to give them more
weight. At the battle of the Ticinus,
Hannibals Numidian horse had no
brides, and were drawn up on the
wings, while the heavy cavalry, with
brides, were in the center-Notes and

this is the period for tea importatiops
and the shipments ought to be taking
place from China Oolong teas come
first, followed by the English breakfast
grades, and ending with the fine green
grades in September. No account is
taken OF the Japan and Formosa teas
which rule as usual in prices.
1t is estimated that, as one of the
greatest tea-drinking nations. the
United States consumes annually more
than 100000,000 pounds of tea. OF this
amount 100000 pounds come from
Japan, 100000 from China and the
balance from Formosa. Chicago i'm.
porters have advices of a general ad-
vance in Japan teas on account of
shortage in crops. The shortage on
the first crop of Japan teas, which in
cludes the finest grades, is estimated at
100000 pounds, and the second crop
shortage will make the total shortage
probably 100000 pounds, or 20 per
cent. of the crop.

QUEER SCENES IN ALASKA

of the winter route to Dawson. Ben
nett, in British Columbia, is the
present starting point, as at present it
is the southern terminal of the White
Pass & Yukon railroad. By fall it is
expected this railroad will be COM
pleted to White Horse, 70 miles nearer
Dawson.
Stranger sights are hard to find than
in this frozen country. Talk of the
wonderful endurance of the Indian
coolie! 1t is nothing compared with
that of the Canadian and English
speaking dog-sled drivers operating
between Mackays and Dawson City.
Here for stretch of $50 miles one
travels tucked up in a basket sled
hauled by five or six dogs. The
drivers run along beside the sled in
rough places to keep it from unsetting
for 40 or so miles at a five-mile-an-
hour gate, and do not have a chance to
rest on the sled for half an hour
altogether during the whole run.
Hotel accommodations along the
sledge route are quite unique. One is
supposed to provide their own
