T raining Of a Hors e

Expert horsemen believe that a
horse can be taught to do anything
that it is possible for an animal so
formed, and to be utterly fearless.
Thus, of horses rushing into battle
with a fearlessness that is magnifi-
cent, although in the beginning of
their lives they may have been fool
ishly timid, shying at everything un-
usual that happened to be seen in
their travels.
In order to teach horse fearless
ness he must be accustomed to all
sorts of sights and sounds. He must
come to know that because something
that he sees or hears is unusual it
does not follow that it is harmful.
For it is the unusual things that
brighten him. The horse is an animal
of one idea at time, and is not able
to discriminate, SO say the men who
have made study of the horse.
While he will travel along quietly
close by the roar of train he may
tremble at the fiutter of a piece of
loose paper flying in the wind. 1t is
not the frightfulness of the object
that seems to alarm him, but the I'M
familiarity of it. Horse trainers say
that the mistakes made in breaking"

Reason in All Anima is

and Mr.. Gladstone wrote down the
titles of the Offices and the names of
the liberal leaders on pieces of paper
and tried all the evsning, but in vain,
to fit them together. At last they
gave it up and went to bed. When
MI. Gladstone awoke in the morning
everything was satisfactorily arrang-
ed in his head; his brain had worked
IL out for him during his sleep. This
was not conscious reason and certain
ly was not instructive. DR.. Carpenter
gave to such action the name of un-
conscious cerebration."
In further proof that man does
many things almost automatically
Lord Avebury gives this incident: "I
have been for over forty years a
director or company, which changed
it's Offices twenty years ago, and
have not since had any occasion to
enter our old house. One morning.
this summer, however, I was going to
a committee in our present house. but

vening houses and into the porch of

Bull dog Was Not His

Placid but stern, brindled bulldog
sat in a bus. In the seat by his side
was an elderly gentleman, says the
Paris correspondence of the London
Telegraph. The conductor came up
aghast. do you mean to tell me-"
he said to the passenger, that you are
unacquainted with the police regula-
tons forbidding the presence of dogs
in buses-especially bulldogs?" he
added, cycling the animal. What of
that?" answered the elderly gentle
man. The conductor, naturally chol.
eric, like all his colleagues, grew pur-
pie with rage. Remove that dog in
stantly!" he shouted to the passenger,
who, perfectly undisturbed, said: Ger
tainly not" Then you get out and
take the dog with YOU" by no
means" 81 shall throw the dog out
myself" do so' But the conductor
did not, having caught the eye Of the
bulldog, who was beginning to show
interest in the proceedings. Il shall
call the police" the conductor went
on. eff you like"

Lord Avebury, better known as Sir
John Lubbock, the celebrated natur-
alist, writes: "If many are prone to
exaggerate the intellectual powers of
dogs and horses and elephants, others
go to the opposite extreme. Des-
cartes, we know, looked on animals
as mere automata. Even recently
Bethe, Uexkull and other writer's have
denied the existence Of any psychic
powers, at any rate. in invertebrate
animals, which they explain as reflex
machines. l confess, indeed, that |
cannot understand how any one who
loves animals, or ever has devoted
any study to them, can doubt that
they possess some power OF reason.
Many of their actions are uncon-
scious and instructive; so are some
Of ours, as we may see by watching

walk or run almost automatically.

Lord Avebury, pursuing his theme,

hculty in arranging the places. he

The policeman came. Monsieur is
surely aware" he began amiably, that
dogs are not allowed in omnibuses?"
Il dare say they are not" the placid
elderly gentleman replied. II request
you to remove that dog" Most Ger
tainly not" 81 shall then take out a
summons against you. Kindly give
me your name and address" with
pleasure, if you wish it. But on what
ground will you summon me, may I
ask" "This is too much. You are
Gefying the law. You will be sum-
moned for bringing bulldog into an
omnibus" II fancy not Why did you
not explain that before? That is not
my bulldog, and l have not the least
idea why it sits beside me-" said the
elderly gentleman sweetly. At this
the fury of the conductor and police
man grew almost inarticulate While
they were struggling to express their
feelings, another man in the omnibus
got up suddenly, whistled, jumped out
and the bulldog followed him. The
rest of the passengers, delayed half
an hour. hardly appreciated the joke.

In 1863, the British squadron, I'M
der Admiral Keyser, in Japanese wa
tiers, was compelled to take measures
of coercion against one Of the Damios,
or holy Independent princes of Japan,
which involved the loss of many lives.
In September, 1862, murderous as
sault had been made on an English
lady and two gentlemen in the terri
tory of the Prince of Satsuma, and a
Mr.. Richardson, who was riding with
them, was slain. The English govern
ment demanded that the tycoon-the
temporal sovereign of Japan-and the
Prince of Satsuma should pay the sum
of 100000 as compensation. After
much parIeying, the tycoon agreed to
pay; but the prince could not be
brought to reason, so our squadron
sailed to the princes capital-Kago-
sima, and no answer being received
by Aug. Is, 1863, three valuable
steamers were seized by the British.
About noon on the same day, as the
vessels lay in line with springs on
their cables, the shore batteries sud-
denly opened fire upon the Euryalus,
which was the only ship within range.
Just at that time the wind, which had
been gradually growing stronger, rose
to something like hurricane or
typhoon, and Burst upon the squad
ron. Being unable to bring the Eu-

ryalus' broadside properly to bear
while at anchor, the admiral, who had
fortunately before ordered the steam
ers to get up steam, now signaled that
the prizes were to be set on fire and
the whole squadron to weigh and
form in line of battle. Taking the
lead, the Euryalus steamed slowly
past the batteries, engaging them
with great effect, the other vessels,
following in her wake, doing the
same. The batteries, for time kept
up a very heavy fire, in the heat or
which Capt. Josling and Commander
Wilmot were killed by the same shot,
while standing against the admiral ON
the bridge of the Euryalus. Having
come abreast of the last battery, and
the weather continuing boisterous, the
admiral signaled: Discontinue the
action" and ordered the ships to seek
shelter. The gale continued all night,
but the squadron rode 1t out well.
On the next day, the town having
been set on fire and mostly burned
down the day before, the princes pal
ace or castle was bombarded and de-
stroyed, and on the 18th the squadron
worked it's way out of the bay. and
returned to Yokohama, having lost
sixty-three men killed and wounded.
Before the end of the year the Prince
of Satsuma paid the compensatiqbs,

and training a colt is that it is too
often done in the seclusion of some
country road, instead of amid the
sights and sounds that the animal
must necessarily become familiar
with later.
AS soon as the horse becomes ia
miliar with anything and has learned
to believe that it will not hurt him, he
will stand quietly or trot along peace
fully, even though all sorts of noises
and queer sights are about him. Thus
the artillery horse will stand amid the
roar of cannon, being uced to the
noise and not knowing that the sound
predicts anguish and death. 1t is
well to accustom a horse to unusual
sounds as soon as possible after he is
trained for riding or driving. 1t Fen-
ders him safe and docile, even though
he be spirited animal.
A certain trainer of horses said that
an ideal school for horses would
contain thrashing machines, pile driv-
ers, steam drills, electric, steam and
elevated cars, band of martial music
and gang of quarrymen blasting
rocks. A horse that was drilled
among such bedlam as this would,
indeed, prove immune to strange
noises.
