TWO KINDS OF TENDERrEEr.

The Tough Youth always throws his blankets down on the hardest. rocklest bit of ground within reach. and then smiles a fine little smile ar your efforts to rako together enough pine-needles for a good foundation. He loads his tump-lina with a staggering burden rather than make two trips. He races through the brush at an exhausting speed with all day before him When it rains he remains nonchal- antly and superbly exactly where # hap pens to catch him. And actually, as a matter of preference, time and again have seen him bully his party into camp ing on a bleak side-hill when ideal condi- tions offered a scant quarter of a mile ahead.
 "Oh. you tenderfeet make me tlrsd"' he laughs. Why don't you bring Q feather bed? This is good enough for anybody"
 And meekly that deluded outfit submits, ashamed of being considered tendArfeet by tLe biggest tenderfoot of them all.
 A man need not whine when he runs against hardships: he may even encoun- ter and overcome them with q certain joy; but he need not run to meet them and put his head down and butt into them. What would you think og man

TRAINING CAVALRY HORSES.

The most interesting and amusing of all the sights of Aldershot is the big reser- voir, or lake, where cavalry horses from all parts of the world are trained to swim with thGrouShness that rivals even the Italian system of horse training.
 It is well known. by the way. that cav airy horses in the Italian army gc through almost as much training as though they were intended for a circus; and the writer has often been amazed to see patriclan Roman officers riding their inc charges down steep flights of stone stairs, and down especially constructed precipices which look as though they were especially invented to encompass the destruction of both horse and rider
 Again, the writer has witnessed the aA- tonishing army maneuvers of the Italian troops in the River Arno at Florence, and also at Spezzfa. the great naval arsenal of Italy. where II. R. H. the Count or Turin may often be seen leading his regt- ment ''out to sea-" the Prince often dis mounting, and himself swimming with one arm about h.9 chargers neck.
 The newly received horses at Aldershot, however coming as they do mostly from inlanG regions have q dcep-seated objec- tion to the water. and as their riders are for the most part scantily clad indeed, the struggles between tutor and "pupils'' aIe ludicrous in the extfeme. If t Is found absolutely impossible to coax the animals into water deeper than their knees or girths. coIlapsible boats are used and the refractory animal dragged b,, main force beyond his depth when he has to swim for dear life III.
