PONIES N COBs.
How the Distinctions Between the
Two Are Deemed.

Two Are Deemed.
A correspondent writes, says the
Badminton Magazine, to ask me what
a pony" is-nOt the pony Of the bet
ting ring; he refers to the animal. The
dictionaries which he has consulted tell
him no more than that "a pony is ~
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 will send round
your pony at 8 o'clock is q familiar
phrase to me, and in two cases it has
always portended the arrival of an ami
NAL Of quite l4.2. l have searched for
authorities for some time past and
only accidentally came upon one the
other day. A pony. l find it stated. IS
strictly applicable to an animal under
Ii hands. Above 13 and up to 1873 the
creature should be known as a gallo
way, and over 1873 1t becomes a horse.
This, however, is not the modern inter
probation. though when the p~hraseolOgy
was altered I do not know. According
to the Nottingham rules of polo. the
height of PONIES shall not exceed IA
hands 2 inches" and such an animal.
according to my old time authority,
would be quite a 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 n
pony. l am glad my correspondent did
not ask for IN exact definition of a
''cob," for l could do no better than
suggest that a thickset pony from
about 1873 to 14.2 would come under
the head. The term "cobby," mt any
rate, has a significance Of it's own.

e ROOT CARVINGS.


Fashioned In the Orient.
The fantastic wooden objects which
come from the far east and arc kncNn
as tea root carvings have long been the
basis Of a prosperous industry in ,be
populous city CT tuchau. Strictly
speaking, the name is a misnomer.
Some Of the carvings are made from
old tea roots and tea trunks. but the
vast majority. rine tenths at least, are
made from the roots and trunks OF
hardwood trees.
Tho carvings are almost invariably
made in two parts. 4 pedestal and one
or more human figures 6ttt > the lat
ter by pegs and holes. The former is
made from a root and the latter from Il
trunk. The roots are selected with con
siderable care. They must be compare
lively free from dry rot. decay and
worm holes and nus possess Il rude
symmetry. They are cleaned. scrub
bed and scraped and sawed to about
the desired size: then the artist with
chisel. gouge. knife and pinchers tc-
moves rootlets and roots until the fig
ure is completed.
The simplest design is a three legged
pedestal. of which the base is a rough
cylinder Of wens and knobs. Any num-
Der of legs may be used. \ CURIOUS
specimen seen by the writer in the
Grand hotel. Yokohama. has fifty legs.
while the body has been so treated as
to suggest a horny centiped. A second
type of pedestal is the mushroom. A
third type is an animal form. such rs
the buffalo. tiger. unicorn. elephant ar
dragon.
Nearly always the chisel is guided by
humor or satire. If it be a saint who
is depicted, the look of picty or suffer-
ing is replaced by a leer or drunken
grimace: if it be a warrior, every limb
and muscle is nodded so as to suggest
decrepitude or a desire to run away.
Quang tt. the %invincible soldier
prince. is frequently portrayed stand
ing on n leg. with the other extended
like a professional rope balancer.-New
York Post.

The COlumblne.

There are some good eason adduced
by those who favor the claims of the

flower also lends itself well to a con-
ventional architectural decoration.
