with equal precision and marvellous
uniformity. AS in some of the Euro
pean armies all American cavalrymen
are dragons, that is to say, they are
trained to fight both mounted and dis
mounted. While dashing down the
battle-ground, doing some intricate

in couple of seconds the men are in
an infantry skirmish line, and their
horses are being led to the rear. at n
full gallop, by the No. Of each set of
fours. The skirmish line advances,
firing "volleys by platoons," "by
squads" firing at will" etc. Upon
arriving at the proper distance mag

the imaginary enemy is charged and

D. R. Beatty. Millionaire.

Some of the stories told concerning

tales of old California and the new
gold dlgglngs in the Klondlke tame

The numbers /. . and 9 in the accom-.
panying pictures indicate, respectively,
the first, second and third qualities of
meat, as they are rated in the markets
of Paris, London and Berlin. 1t will
be seen that in France the entire rump
and n small portion OF the back are re.
garded as of first quality, that the
shoulder and flank take second rank.
and that the head, limbs and stomach
are not highly priced. In London and
Berlin, OH the other hand, only the up.
per part of the rump is regarded as of
first quality, though not better than
the loins, and the shoulder is con.
signed to the third rank
These differences of taste are not
more striking than the differences he.
tween the animals themselves. A Dur
ham has n sharply defined head and Il
small neck and shoulders; its back Is
large. and Is developed in n horizontal
direction, the evident reason being be-
cause breeders took most pains to i'm
prove that portion of the animal in
which is the iillet, so dear TO the Eng
llsh and German palate. On the other
hand the rump is hardly developed Mt
all. In a Limousin COW, on the con.
trary, the rump is greatly developed.
"These differences are not the result
of chance" says NJ. Paul Difiloth, II
well-known French agrlculturist, who
has been studying the subject. "The

bined make a marked feature of ad-
vance models. The May Manton mod
cl shown il admirable in every way.
Being cut in five cores it suits the
great majority of figures and allows
for remodeling the skirts of last season
when so doing is desirable. The orig
inal Is made of novelty material, in
shades of brown and tan, with trim
ming of narrow brown braid over
light tan, and includes the graceful
and becoming iounce; but this last
can be omitted and the skirt used
plain; or, again, the material can be
cut away beneath and the fiounces
scanned TO the lower edge.
The five cores are carefully shaped
and fitted without fulness at the belt
and provide just the snugness required
by fashion. The flounce falls in soft
undulating folds and widens as it ap-
proaches the back, forming admirable
lines. The placket can be at the centre
back or left front seam as desired,
but in either case should be provided
with an ample underlap and an abun-
dant supply of hooks and loops, that
there may be no danger of gaping.

to be the finest riders in America.
Thousands of Washington society peo-

Misses sailor Shirt Waist.

The shirt waist with sailor collar,
and shield of contrasting color Is, and
will be, n favorltc for young girls
both for school and afternoon Wear.
For the school the materials chosen
are cheviot, linen, madras, flannel,
cashmere and the like, for the more
fancy waists silk Of simple sorts, en-
broidered and plain cashmere in light
colors. The May Manton model shown
In the large drawing is suited to both
uses and all the fabrics mentioned,
but In the original Is OF MORE louislne
silk, showing lines and dots Of blue
on white. with trimming of blue vel
vet ribbon, and shield, tie and cuffs of
white silk banded with blue. The
foundation Is fitted lining, on which
the waist proper is arranged that Is
emlnently desirable when silk and
wool fabrics are used, but which can
be omitted when washable materials
are selected. The lining closes at the
centre front, and fits spugly to the
figure, but the waist proper Is drawn
down In gathers at the waist line and
blouses slightly mt the front. The
shield is attached to the lining, when
ii Is used, TO the waist, beneath fhe
collar, when the waist is unlined, and
is attached permanently at the right
side, hooked into place at the left.
The sailor collar is scanned to the neck
of the blouse and the tie ends are at
tached beneath its points. The sleeves
are In bishop style with narrow point
