HOW A HUNTER is TRAINED.
Much Labor is Required to Develop the
Needed Quality.

London Express-His first public
appearance in this country was at
Lincoln fair in string of fellow
equines, immigrants, like himself, from
the emerald isle.
Wild unkempt and with a disquiet-
ing freedom about his heels, he GER
tainly attracted attention, but it was
not that of likely purchasers, and as
the voluble Irish dealer saw his drove
OF yearlings gradually dwindle he be-
gan to regard in the light of bad
speculation the weedy colt he had
picked up cheaply in the wilds of Kill
dare A keen eye for latent posi-
bilities, however, saw beyond the
razorlike back, the slack loins, the an
gular shoulders and unshapely arms
and thighs. His legs were fat and
lean, his hooks straight and business
like and his lean, symmetrical head
betokened thoroughbred ancestry.
Three e5 notes, minus shillings
for luck, effected his removal from the
herd, and as all the adroitness of the
Irish drovers failed to associate his
head with a halter he was driven like a
steer through the busting streets and
many miles into the country to his new

and within bounds. 1t may not be out
of place to remark on a common error
in training "leppers." The general i'm
preston is that horse jumps bigger
when given long run and allowed to
so fast up to his fence. The impetus
may enable him to take a wider leap
and he is also easier to sit, but the
safest and cleanest jumpers are those
who steady down and pick their way
over an obstacle. Old Shamrock of
Lincolnshire fame. perhaps the best
allaround exhibition jumper that ever
marked hoof prints on grass, would
stand fifteen feet from a six-foot gate,
take two short steps and clear it with
ease-ridden or free.
Learning to Jump Fences.

A horse that kicks at hounds is an
abomination. Two mornings a week

in the field, and regular exercise and
good living had put him into hard con

as bars OF steel; his sinews were like

along his shoulders and quarters with
every movement. He looked, as his
owner described him, "a gentleman all

Ridden by lad who knew his bust

Whales Travel Far.

Addressing the Academy of Science
of Christiania. Professor Goldlob said
recently that the whales that swim
about the islands which lie eff the
coast of Norway and Finland in March
and April travel immense distances.
In May they turn up at the Azores or
even at the Bermudas and sometimes
pay visit to the West Indies. They
swim fast for in June they are back
again off Norway. Some of these

Glaseow's Telephone Experiment.

New York Municipal tele
phony is one of the enterprises into
which the City Of Glasgow went two or
three years ago. How far it is judi
cious for local governments to perform
functions ordinarily exercised by bust
ness corporations is a question about
which there Is a wide difference Of
opinion. Perhaps no universal rule
can be laid down for all countries. In
some of her other undertakings Glas-
gov has apparently been successful.
In this one she has been peculiarly I'M
fortunate. The cost of her plant ex-
ceeded the original estimates by about
80 per cent, aud experts declared in
advance that the low rate she offered
to patrons would involve loss. The
municipal authorities keep stiff up
per lip in the present dilemma. but
they nevertheless feel that their
course was i'll advised.

Life ano Death.
Suggested by the Children Martyrs Iroquois
BY Elizabeth Seal 6Iakey.


Each weary life that lives to later wears
Doth find that cup of JOY hath drees of tears
just childhood knows of pleasures without pain;
Their path of life seems long, and they remain
To gather flowers by the smlit way,
While loving hearts would gladly bid them stay
But know too well, that life holds more than this
More grief than Joy, more work than transient bliss
Those little feet must leave the pleasant path
For one more rugged bur, too oft, the path
Which looms before them, in the passing wears.
Seems rough and hard they turn, with bitter tears,
To seek some other smooth and easier way,
Then find, alas, from righteous path they stray,
And struggle bndly, with young joys all slain,
Grown old and weary fainting in sore pain,
They face alone the end, all quite alone;
No one to soothe their grief or weary moan,
No one to bind their wounds or flesh torn
BY Jagged rocks eff sin or pleasures thorn.
With thoughts they linger ON those hours of light
When seeking evil, they forsworc the right
They sigh regret with sorrow the refrain,
For life ill-spent must search for peace in vain.
When little children, with their souls still white,
Their sweet lips parted in laugh of delight,
Sing life's strange music while it is most sweet
And dancing gaily on light, lpyous feet
Still gather flowers by the foSNStreWn way,
Without dire sin to mar each perfect day;
When these fair children hear a summons clear,
From God they listen without cause for fear
They need not trembe for their hearts are pure.
His love enfolds them while they must endure
The crown Of thorns, the heritage of earth,
In those last moments, ere they're given birth
Into that life, so glorious and so sweet,
Where they may worship at the Saviours feet.
Der death triumphant, their clear voices ring
Of love eternal, which is God our king.
Few years. poor soul will claim thee on this earth;
Then grid thysef Thou wilt not find there's dearth
Of work for even trembling hand to do
Look for life's duty though You taste the rue.
Tired heart bereaved, desparing in thy grief,
Raise up thine eyes and cling to the belief
That God knows best Thy loved ones near His thron
Await the hour which claims thee as their own.

SCANDIA

sedition (?) Suppressed.

Public libraries in Finland are now
closed and school libraries are to be
censored rigidly under the direction
of Bobrikoff, the Infamous governor
general. This action is taken to pre-
vent the spread of dangerous liter

works known as classics in civilized
countries.
The St. Petersburg Finlandskaya
Gazeta reports that Finland possesses
about 1900 libraries, which largely
serve as reading-rooms. Most OF the
reading-rooms in the large cities have
Leen established through the ener-
setic efforts of the so-called Young
Peoples Association"
To this large development OF pubic
libraries and reading rooms is chiefly
due the high intellectual attachments
of the Finnish people. But" says the

home on the quiet Lincolnshire farm.
The lads dubbed him "RCentgen Rays, "
from his near approach to trans
parency, but he belied the name after
summers run in a rich pasture and
a winter in a sheltered strawyard.
Then in the early spring. when the
ground was soft and yielding from the
winters rains, was commenced the
education that should fit him for his
future career as a hunter.
A Systematic Course.
Here let me state that the whole of
his training was carried out on prin-
ciples which, if generally followed.
would go far toward preserving that
natural dash and spirit so deficient in
the majority of our so-called trained
horses. He was never made to feel
that he was mastered. BY degrees the
colt came to realize that he suffered no
harm from the presence of a man by
his side while feeding and also that no
serious results would follow the strok-
ing of his neck and shoulders. 1t was
some time before he would permit any
liberties to be taken with his head
horse recognizes instinctively that
herein lies his vulnerabilty.
On long rein he was coaxed one
morning into plowed field. The limit
CT his tether allowed ample scope for
his gambols, but these were not of long
duration. for the field was deep and
holding and he soon submitted to the
guidance Of a rein on either side. The
next step was to girth him. He re-
scented this strongly at first. but the
SOLDERING influence Of the heavy ground
and the gentle restraint Of the bit and
rein soon made him indifferent to the
grip of the surcingle. Then followed
light saddle on which after few
days was fixed a bag of sand. When
he had grown accustomed to weight
carrying the sandbag was removed one
morning after the usual parade in the
field. lad was hOisted into the saddle
and was carried proudly home. At
this stage ensues a series OF dainty
rambles at walking pace along country
lanes in the company Of an older and
more staid companion in order to ac-
custom him 10 familiar objects.
A Vacation Enjoyed.
Then in early June, when the grass
was green and lush in the pastures.
his first term of education terminated
and for year he browsed in field and
straw yard, free from bride and sad
die He came up grown and shapely,
deep-chested, bright of eye and with
the thews of an OK. His owner lock
ed him over admiringly and marked
him as handful for the first rider he
attempted to dislodge. And so it prov
81. He gave an exhibition that would
net have disgraced a wild west show.
Fortunately our colt had a mouth, and
he never got his head below the hor-
izontal. Slowly, by judicious handling,
he pulled up Voluntarily. He never
made another sustained attempt to rid
himself Of rider.
His leaping education came next
Like most Irish horses, he liked jump

great difficulty was TO keep him cool
