PONIES AND coBs.
How the Distinctions Between the
Two Are Defined.

Two Are Defined.
A correspondent writes, says the
Badminton Magazine, to ask me what
ting ring; he refers to the animal. The
dictionaries which he has consulted tell
him no more than that "a pony Is "a
little horse" and he wants to know
where the pony ends and the horse
begins. The term Is, of course, very
loosely used. AT Newmarket, where
one might expect accurate definitions,
the trainers seem to call all sorts OF
animals ponies. II win send round
your pony at o'clock" is a familiar
phrase to me, and in two cases it has
always portended the arrival-of an ami
NAL of quite 142. l have searched for
authorities for some time past and
only accidentally came upon one the
other day. A pony, l find 1t stated, is
strictly applicable to an animal under
10 hands. Above ID and up to 1873 the
creature should be known as a gallo
way, and over 1873 it becomes a horse.
This, however, is not the modern inter-
probation, though when the phraseology
was altered 1 do not know. According
to the birmingham rules of polo, 1.-THE
height of ponies shall not exceed ii
hands inches" and such an animal,
according to my old time authority,
would be quite full sized horse. One
cannot, of course, go against the Hur-
lingham nomenclature, but l should
be inclined to say that in general par
lance anything under IA hands Is a
pony. am glad my correspondent did
not ask for an exact definition of a
"cob," for I could do no better than
suggest that thickset pony from
about 1873 to 14.2 would come under
the head. The term ''cobby," at any
rate, has a significance of its own.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

From twenty-year-old mulberry
tree 21S pounds Of leaves have been
picked In a year.
String beans may be obtained during
the entire summer by planting once a
month for successive supplies.
Some trees are much more unfavor-
able to the growth of plants beneath
them than are others. The worst are
the yew and the ash.
Whenever water is given to pot
plants enough should be used thor
oughly to wee the soil around the roots.
Mere sprinkling of the surface does lit
tie good.
The next time you have a bouquet of
flowers to keep add very little cam
phor to the water in the vase and see
how much longer its freshness will be
retained.
One of the most satisfactory plants
for house culture Is the yellow oxalis.
1t will blossom freely il given sun and
water, and its bronze brown foliage
sets off its pretty yellow bloom rarely.

peppermint For sIeepIessness

A physician declares that he finds
peppermint water an efficient remedy
for sleeplessness. This is a very sim
pie cure, and it will not bring forth
from the organs of professional opin-
ion any declaration of unsafeness. 1t
is added that mixture of spirits of
chloroform and peppermint water CIV
en- in hot water to the victim of insom-
MIA will produce sleep, but perhaps in
the case of the admixture of chloro-
form water may claim decided share
in relieving the trouble. 1t is at least
easy to try peppermint water, and the
theory of its action is believed to be
founded on its effect in Withdrawing
blood from the brain by attracting a
fuller flow to the stomach

TRAPPING ERMlNE.
DImS8anA Methods For the Full
Grown and Baby Animals.

Grown and baby Animals.
The colder the climate the finer the
fur, says the author OF "The Greatest
Fur Company Of the World" in Frank
Leslie's Magazine. and the difficulties
Of obtaining the rare furs are many.
Ermine Is at its best when the cold Is
most intense, the tawny weasel coat
turning from fawn to yellow. from vel
low to cream and then to snow white,
according to the latitude and the sea
son.
Fox, lynx, marten, otter and bear the
trapper can take with steel traps Of n
size varying with the game or even
with the clumsy but efficient deadfall,
but the ermine, the fur of which is as
easily damaged as the finest gauze,
must be handled differently.
The hunter going the rounds of his
traps has noted curious tiny TRICKS like
the dots and dashes of the tclesraphic
alphabet. Here are little prints slur-
ring into one another In dash; there
dead stop, where the quick cared
stoat has paused, with beady eyes alert,
for snowbird or rabbit; here, again, a
clear blank on thesnow, wherethe crafty
little forager has dKed below the light
surface and wriggled forward like a
snake, to dart up with plunge of his
fangs into the heart blood of the UNI
wary snow bunting.
From the length of the leaps the trap
per judges the age Of the ermne. The
full grown ermine has hair too coarse
to be damaged by snare. If, there
FORE the tracks indicate full alown
animal, the trapper suspends the moose
Of looped Irvine or wire across the
runway from bent twig, which, when
released springs upward with a jerk
that lifts the ermine off the ground
and strangles it.
If the tracks are like the prints or q
baby's fingers, close and small, the
| trapper hopes to capture pelt fit for a
throne cloak Perfect fur would be
married by the Irvine snare, so the trap
per devises as cunning death for the
ermine as the ermne devises when il
darts up through the snow and fixes its
spearlike teeth in the throat of n rabbit.
First he smears his hunting knife
with grease; then he lays it across the
| track. The little ermine comes trotting
| in dots and dashes and gallops and
dives to the knife The knife is frosted
| like ice. Ice the ermine has licked, so
| he licks the knife. But, alas, for the
resemblance between ice and steel! Ice

A annint old Custom.

A London shop assistant says: ut Is
my duty every night to go out to the
rear Of the premises and fire off an old
fiintlock pistol. This curious custom
dates back to the middle of the eight
zenith century. Our shop, now in a
crowded north London district, was in
those old days practically In the coun-
try, and it was the custom of the then
proprietor, who was timld, eccentric
man, to fire pistol off every night to
let the would be burglar know he was
armed and prepared for him. Think
ing his custom such good one, seeing
that his shop was never attempted, he
stated in his will that the custom
should be continued, which has always
been carried out, although, of course.
we do it now merely to keep up a
quaint old custom"

HID BEtlINQ THE RULE.



AS an editor Horace Greeley had be-
come weary Of the constant repetition
Of the word "the' in opening sentences.
One issue of his paper In particular ex-
asperated him. Almost every item had
its opening paragraph, begin with
"the" This lack OF judgment on the
part OF his writer's in the choice of
words received attention. Greeley wrote
a note. This notice he requested to be
posted In the editorial room and caused
copies OF 1t to be sent to correspond

subsequent paragraphs of a news ar

One day shortly after the issuance of
his new rule Greeley entered the ed
itorial room in a fury.
"How is it that we have nothing In
today's paper regarding Hollands at
titude toward the policy Of the northY
he asked of his editor who had charge
of the foreign news.
This editor was aware that he had
omitted an important news item which
at the time he considered as unimpor-
tant. But he was resourceful.
"Your rules and orders are positive,
Mr.. Greeley, are they not?" asked the
editor.
Certainly shouted the famous
scribbler.
"Then tell me how / could have used
The Hague for the date line In the
Holland dispatch without violating
your positive order"
Mr.. Greeley was beaten, but he NUT
tered, IF you fellows could use judg-
ment, there would be no need for
rules"

The COIuxnbine,

There are some good reasons adduced
by those who favor the claims of the
columbine as national flower. The
colors of the wild varieties are red,
white and blue. The flower Is purely
American, quite widespread, hardy,
graceful, beautiful. The petals are
perfect liberty caps;" reversed they
are "horns of plenty" Columbine
comes from the Latin columbia, dove;
the peaceful derivation of the word
accords well with our national policy;
the name also recalls Columbus, the
great navigator and discoverer. The
flower also lends itself well to con-
ventional architectural decoration.
