HARD DRIVING IN RUSSIA.
Horses Travel There Abreast over the
Roughest of Roads.

ROuEheHt Oh nOAuS'
From Pearson's Magazine.
In Russia as in this country, trottlng Is
an established fixture. Next to the Ameri-
can trotter his Russian prototype Is the
best of it's kind. Hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars have been invested by Russians in
the development Of the trotter, and every
year shows improvements which. sooner
or later, will seriously menace the suprem-
acy of the American horse.
Russian trotting horses, so dear to the
heart of the fashionabes in st. Petersburg,
form a distinc tive class similar to the trot-
tiers and pace.s Of this country. and appear
only in the shafts of the lightest rubber
tired vehicles and sle!ghs These trotters
are bred for speed and not for staying
power. A glance reveals the cart strain
in the breed, which comes out particularly
in the head and legs, with their large, hairy
fetlocks. AS the horses are ratified at the
highest speed over the roughest ground.
even over cobblestone pavements, the Big
fetlocks soon give under the strain, so that
after a year or two Of fast driving these
trotters leave their dignified stables for the
cab rank. Many Russian trotters have done
their mile under go
These animals owe their origin as a dis
tinctive class to Count Orloff Tchestmensky
he who, on behalf CT Catherine III, played
the chief part IN strangling the unfortunate
Peter III. He did good service to Russia by
his stud operations, which resulted in the
fast and f1ashy trotters that are named
after him.
Count Orloff died in 1910, and his stud.
frem which all the trotting studs in Russia
were formed, was afterward bought by the
Russian government.
The Russian Trotting Club is a wealthy
institution. largely patronized by the pub
lie. On Sundays crowds flock to the trot-
ting ground of the Semenovsky. in st. Pc
tersburg. American professionals are great

difficulties, owing to the bitter jealousy OF
Russian trotting men. All the races are
run against time, and are therefore very

Circular Notes in Style.
Englishmen are jocular about the Chinese
situation, for again we are told perfect ac-
cord exists among the cabinets Of London,
Paris. Berlin and St. Petersburg. English
men are telling one another this is about
the tenth time sthe story has been repeated
to US, and orr each previous occasion the
perfect accord'e cry has been the signal
for the advent of a new complication. To
show that this newest proof of interna-
tional amity is understood of all men, the
French cabinet have already issued cir
cuiar note which while agreeing with the
general idea of the German note, opens up
some cheerful disagreements on matters OF
detail. Circular notes are all the fashion
now. No self-Fespecting power can be said
to support it's proper dignity without one.
Russia, America and France have duly
issued these indispensable documents. while
Germany has become an expert and occa
sionally ceases to issue them. Great Britain
is still in the background and has not ap-
parentiy respectable note to her name.
Engiishmen think Lord Salisbury should
try harder to keep in the fashion and not
allow England TO be held up to ridicule for
not knowing how to write circular note

Once again the question of establishing
huge granaries in England, to hold a sur
plus food supply in case of war. is coming
to the front A society is in course of for
nation in the city having for its object the
maintenance of reserve food supply. The
society has already a number of supporters
including the Duke of Sutherland, and when
the general election is over an endeavor
will be made to arouse public interest. As
this country now produces but a fraction
os the food which its people consume. a big
war and interference with its imports might
speedily reduce the nation to starvation or
surrender. Ii is generally understood that
the home production of food bears a dimin-
ishing proportion to the growth of the pop
ula ton. 1t Is probably not SO well known
that during the short space of thirty years
England's production of the food consumed
by her people has fallen from two-thirds
of the whole to less than one-third The
masses will certainly not see in this any
plea for bolstering up the landed interest

When driving a trotting horse in a sulky
the driver usually sits on his horses long
tail, to keep him steady in his gait. All
the driving horses of Russia. by the way,
have long tails. The coachman OF an ordi-
nary Russian carriage takes no trouble
to prevent the reins from dropping about
his horses hind quarters. In spite of this
however. the reins rarely become en.angied
with the tail. and even if they should do so
the horses never kick. This striking fact
Is an eloquent answer to those who uphold
the cruel practice of docking a horse on
the grounds that otherwise he is liable to
flap his tail over the reins.

River colony and the Transvaal colony.

Ignorance of the customs. Institutions and
beliefs of the natives has been the cause at
least in part Of many Of Britain's little
wars in that part of the world, and it is
most desirable from this point of view that
an accurate study should be made of the
black people of the territories which re-
Gently have been added to the British en-
pire. Present Information of their eth
nology is derived chiefly from fragmentary
notices which cannot be implicitly trusted.
while IT is an urgent necessity both for
ment that the real meaning of the native
Institutions and habits should be thorough
ly understood. The colonial office Is to be
approached Immediately on the subject.
