when the time for the lesson comes. every
thing but the immediate need of getting the
thing done in the right way is obliterated
from his mind and in the enthusiasm OF
the moment all traces of this benevolence
speedily disappear. He forgets the pupil is
full of original sin and cannot walt for
the signs of grace.
This leads to misunderstanding. 1t leads
also to the sudden exit of the pupil; to the
slamming of doors; to the crushing OF nlu-
sic on the floor; to grim remarks about a
future better spent in tomato planting.
Once it led to total darkness. In the inten-
sity of his feelings the master arose has

the pupils sitting round the class In silence

some comforting soul outside.
When all goes well, however, a lesson
with Leschetizky is a really wonderful ex-
perience. Says Miss Hullah:
His point OF view is so interesting. the
depth of his comprehensions so profound.
his power of clear exposition so great ths
parallels he draws between art and life-so
unexpected. that his listener Is held under
a spell of wondering enthusiasm through

remarkable He Is able to retain accurate

his varied temperament discloses itself, It's
contrasts finding in music their best inter-
probation. These sonorous chords weighed
out by so masterful a hand; this steady
beat of measured emphasis; the Hit and
swing of the rhythm: the fine-pointed STAG
cato; the piquant charm with which the
dainty notes come dancing off the keys; the
melancholy tenderness of the soft caress-

the story more faithfully than any other
language, of his nature, not only as mu-

legislatures. you allowed to use the
house as a writing room. corps of mes
senger boys becomes obvious corollary.
a member who wants letter posted or a
book fetched from the library or message
taken to a friend in the Senate or the press
gallery, claps his hands as signal, and
two or three pages dart along the gang
ways in emulous rivalry to run his errands.
This does not make for the quiet transac-
ton of public business. Indeed, the fretful
and unceasing camor of the House is the
first of all it's characteristics that stranger
notices. What with the immensely Of the
chamber. the buzz in the galleries. the
scurrying of the pages, the crumpling Of
newspapers. the banging of desk lids. the

thump of the Speakers gavel 1t needs a
man with powerful voice to make himself
heard. Complete silence. as a matter of
fact, is so far from being obtained that
members who particularly wish to hear
what is being said leave their seats and
gather round the orator, just behind the
official stenographers who take down his
speech standing. The conditions that make
such proceeding necessary are clearly
conditions in need of reform. There is a
rule, for instance. that forbids members to
pass between the Speaker and the man who
is addressing the House Nobody In Con-
gress seems to pay any attention to that

one member in particular who. with both
hands in his pockets and an unlighted cigar
stuck obliauely between his lips, seems to
make a point of holding seances with his
friends in the open space between the table
and the rows OF desks and seats. Nothing
Of that sort would be tolerated in the house
of commons. All such points of order are
observed and enforced at Westminster with
what might almost seem an absurd pune
tiliousness. No doubt there is good rea-
son for this. The committee system has
not yet stified the house of commons as an
effective debating assembly. Its delibera-
lions have still vitality and an immediate
Importance such as Congress has volunta-
rily foregone and you will find at West

only by ceaseless stringency in the small

daily strife in a contentious and excitable
body can be kept on a high plane. There
is less risk of immediate trouble In Con-
gress il the rules are relaxed or breaches
of them overlooked. But / do not believe
that in the long run 1t does an assembly any
good to be careless in these details of form
and bearing.

Executive clemency for Tanner.

Former Judge Tanner, who committed
perjury in order to shield his law partner,
the late Senator Mitchell. was pardoned by
the President June %.
Sentence had never been passed In the case
of Tanner. and it had been expected that he
would be pardoned in consideration of the
service he rendered when he later went on
the witness stand and gave testimony
against Mitchell Tanner committed per-

agreement was not three months old and

How to Bit Your Horse.

From the Outing Magazine.
You can never give horse a proper
mouth unless, first, you prevent his keeping
his mouth open; second, you keep hts
tongue always under the bit, and not over
1t or '1olling'' out of the mouth: third you
train him to go pleasantly up to it. and to
bend himself, and never to be behind his
bit or to pull on 1t, or to drive upon either
rein; fourth, you keep him always alive
on and responsive to its slightest indica-
tons; fifth. you so balance him that he can
do all these things without suffering per-
sonal discomfort; sixth, you thoroughly de-
ceive him as to the qualities and quantity
of your power of control and direct These
essentials may all be simplifed into two
divisions; first. make him absolutely COM
Portable; second fool him.
From earliest colthood the horse should
be allowed to yield-jaw and neck. Of course
but never to open his mouth to the pressure
of the bit. An enthusiast wrestling with
the problem Of biting Ia Baucher. may
train his horse to open his mouth to bit
ffexfon-the most pernicioYs habit he could
learn. This result Is usual after tho appli-
cation OF the dumb jockey now rarely
used), with Its tight check, and rubber
side lines cruelty shortened. When neck
and law can stand the agony Of restraint
no longer, the opening of the mouth gives
relief by yielding several inches, and the
habit Is adopted, In most cases to last
through life; the tongue often works over
the bit to escape pain, and tongue lolling"
becomes q confirmed habit
