Tradition has immortalized one Adar-
gonna of Grand Canary, who could
wrestle for two consecutive hours and
having been thrown undernost in
certain contest, got his antagonist be,
tween his legs and arms and squeezed
him so that his bones began to crack.
The native was subsequently sent 40
prisoner to Spain, where he astound
ed the people by his performances
One day In Seville lie was visited by a
brawny youth OF La Mancha, who was
anxious to try bout with him. my
good friend said Adargoma. "as we
are going to wrestle together it Is only
reasonable that we should begin hy
drinking something"
A large bowl OF wine having been
brought, he took this In one hand and
continued to address his challenger: IF
with both your arms you can overpow.
er one or mine SO as to hinder me from
drinking every drop Of this wine we
will try our strength together; IL not,
you may return to your home" The
struggle took place. and Adargoma by
degrees drained the bowl in the coolest
manner without splitting q drop Of the
Wine. His one hand was more than a
match for the others two.

The pupil Of good riding master is
usually disappointed at not being al
lowed to do more in the first lesson.
He expects to mount the horse at once,
start of with trot and wind up with
a canter. He Is little annoyed upon
finding that the first lesson consists
almost wholly Of oral instruction and
great part Of it on foot at that. Ii
the master Is conscientious he will not
permit the anxiety to be off and doing
to interfere with a proper understand
Ing Of the A b G of the art. Should the
beginner apply at one Of the big riding
academies in New York for instruction
the first lesson will begin with tie
leading by a groom of horse, btfdled
and saddled, into the center of the ring.
The riding master and the pupil take
their stand close by and the former
begins to explain painstakingly the va
rtous parts of the saddle and bride
and their purposes. Before anything
further Is attempted the pupil must
be able to answer simple questions in
regard to the pommel and the cantle.
the curb and the snaffie. and to know
the uses of the two bits.

~ tools for trimming elephants feet
are "A carpenters drawknife and a rasp
for the soles and horseshoer's knife
and sandpaper for the toe nails. The
operator places beer keg or strong
box behind one huge hind foot, lightly

and heavily, but obediently as the vel

sole are sliced off until 1t is cut nearly
to proper thickness, when the rasp is
used to smooth OFF, Similarly the toe
nails are treated with the knife and the
sandpaper. while the big patient stands
with swinging trunk and an occasional

to lie down ON Its side and the hoofs
are propped up and treated.-McClure's.

May Abolish Sheep Inspector.

One of the recommendations
which Governor-elect Gooding will
doubtless make to the Legislature
will be to abolish the office of state
sheep inspector and substitute the
office of veterinary surgeon. The
question OF creating the latter office
has been agitated for some time. It
Is claimed that such an official ia
needed who would have authority
to examine all kinds Of diseased ami
mails. 1t is further claimed that he
could handle sheep disease as we'll
as it is being done under the pres
ent law.
In speaking of the proposed
change prominent sheep man said
last night to a reporter for the Capt.
tai News that the present law, while
1t had worked much good in eradi-
eating the scab, he believed it would
be better if the office was put in
charge Of veterinary. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Gooding is giving the
matter serious consideration and
those in favor of the proposed
change believe that he will make
such a recommendation, either in
his inaugural message, or in
special one to be sent to the legis-
latnres at later kate.-Capital

why People stammer.

Stammering depends OH want of
harmony between the action OF the
muscles Chiefly abdominaD which ex-
pei air through the larynx and that of
the muscles which guard the oritice
by which 1t escapes with that of those
which modulate the sound to the form
or speech. Over either of the groups
OF muscles by itself a stammerer may
have as much power as other people.
but he cannot tremendously arrange
their contoint action. Nervousness is
frequent cause of stammering. 1t Is
possible that the defect I'm some in
stances may result from malformation
of the parts about the back of the
mouth. The fact that stammering
people are able to sing their words
better than to speak them has been
usually explained ON the supposit.on
that in singing the CLOTHS is kept open
SO that there is less liability to spas
modic action.

II 1t is seen three times In succession
ON the same house top In place re-
mote from its home 1t is believed to be
a sure sign of death in that house. Ii
1t fies and gives its peculiar cry the
sick person is sure to die, but If it
does not scream the patient may re-
cover. 1t is better for the sick per-
son If the bird does not come near.
NO one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and If by chance one of them should
die 1t is sign of bad luck to the owner
or the property where it Is found.
The bird Is a valuable insect destroyer
and In this way probably more than
compensates for the fear 1t occasions
among the farmers.

Bruin was ambitious, and, like many
OF us, his ambition was always getting
him into trouble. He was a polar bear
and lived amid the ice and SHOWS Of
the FAR north. One day, overhearing a
conversation between two arctic ex-
plorers, he said to himself, for he usual
~ talked to himself, not being able to
get any one else to listen to him: II
wonder If l couldn't find that north
pole they talk SO much about. Here
these fellows come from way off to the
south and freeze most of themselves
and starve the rest to find something
that must be floating around loose up
here, where I've lived all my days. BY

certain search until one day he saw in
