GOOD HORSEMANSHIP.
An Old Hunters illustration of the
Gift of'"Hands."


Your heart and your head keep up.
Your hands and your knees keep down,
Your knees keep close to your horses
D.. sides
And your elbows to your own.
This old bit Of advice for the would
be horseman is quoted by a writer in
Baily's Magazine and declared to be
perennially sound.
He quotes another old hunter on the
subject of what he calls 'the divine
gift Of hands" in riding. This old
hunter, John Darby, used to attach
two pieces Of Irvine to the back of an
ordinary chair and draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on its
fore or hind legs, according TO his w
position.
Then when balanced he would keep
II, so to speak, on the swing by gently
manipulating the Irvine or reins he
held in his hand. \ rough pull would,
of course. have upset the chair II
way, whereas the fact of not checking
it in its movements at all would have
caused Il total loss of control over it
in the opposite direction.
And that" when tho exhibition was
concluded he would add. lis hands,
gentlemen"
Jogging to the covert, continues the
writer, you may notice one fine horse,
the owner fully equipped, throwing it's
head up and down like a pump handle,
another sweating ~profusely, although
the pace has not exceeded five miles
all hOur since 1t left the stable. and q
third snorting and prancing about all
over the place.
Why is this so? Simply because the
rider Of neither Of them is possessed
with the divine gift of hands"

The Weather House.

A very ingenious contrivance for
foretelling the weather is the old fash
toned weather house." largely made
In Switzerland. 1t is arranged in such
a way that two figures act in response
to the twisting Of a piece Of catgut,
The material, supported by a wire, con-
trolls the movements of a little plat
form on either end of which Is placed
a model. Excessive moisture in the air
causes the catgut to twist and turn the
platform round, so that the man
energies from one Of the doors in the
front of the house. Reverse conditions
of the atmosphere bring about the con,

form swings back, thus bringing the

a weather house is quite an easy mat

THE BEES STING.
An Ugly Weapon Something Like
Three Bladed Sword.

nv S9'y weapon SSNhiSNiiht9 TT q
Three Bladed Sword.
The bees sting Is made up of three
separate lanceS, each with a barbed
edge and each capable of being thrust
forward independently Of the others.
The central and broader lance has a
hollow face furnished at each side
with a rail or beading, which runs its
whole length. On the back of each of
the other two lances there is a longi-
tudinal groove, and into these grooves
lancet.
Thus the sting is like a sword with
three blades-united, but sliding upon
one another-the barbed points of
which continue to advance alternately
into the wound, going eve deeper and
deeper of their own malice afore-
thought after the initial thrust is
made. 1t is a device of var ON
pared to which the explosive bullet is
but a clumsy brutality. Yet this is not
all.
To make it's death dealing powers
doubly sure this thorough minded anna
zon must fill the haft of her triple
blade with a subtle poison and so CON
trive it's sliding mechanism that the
same impulse which drives the points
successfully forward drenches. the

Some of the Tricks Played by a Noted
English Sieuth.

1t was in 1881 that Thomas
Gregory joined The London metro
politan force. In his time Gregory
arrested many notorious criminals.
He captured a gang who were
known as the cabinet of Crime"
and under whose guidance all big
robberies were carried out. Gregory
was gifted with d faculty for dis
guising, and he appeared in many
characters. In order to enter and
raid a club in Soho he was given the
task of gaining admittance to the
promises. At an appointed time,
dressed as a poor old man, he was
lurching up against the door laden
with a basket of groundsel. The
doorkeeper, a pugiIist, knocked him
over into the road, but this gave the
waiting officers an opportunity for
getting inside and etfecting their
mission.
One summer for weeks he might
have been seen daily outside the
general postof1ice as a boot cleaner,
and eventually he brought off the
arrest Of a gang.
Obtaining the position of valet to
a wealthy coiner, who kept a man
sion in Westminster, Gregory, with
other officers, contrived a big coup,
four confederates being sent to
penal s%ervitude.
An amusing story is told of one
Of Gregory's adventures. He was
keeping observation on the corner
of Dean street west and had adopt
ed the plan of selling matches. He
had only two boxes, a large and a
small one. A Scotchman went up
to him and offered a halfpenny for
. the large box, at the same time
handing the officer a penny. Gregory
said he could not let him have that
one, but would try to get Il for
him. Just at this moment the man
he was watching passed by, and
Gregory went after him and located
his residence. Some forty minutes
afterward Gregory returned to the
corner of Dean street and found the
Scotchman awaiting him for his
matches and change.
A Bond street capture is quite a
dramatic little story. One morning
Gregory noticed in Bond street a
landau stop outside a jewelers. shop.
A woman dressed in the height of
fashion alighted and looked into the
window. She somehow attracted
the detectives attention and was
seen to drop her parasol through
the grating under the window.
The shop assistants noticed her
trouble and came out to help her
recover the article. No sooner had
they left the shop than two
"swells" entered and proceeded to
fill their pockets with jewelry. The
detective got assistance and arrest
ed all three, who turned out to he
old convicts.-Pearson's Weekly.

United States and Japan. Nor do we
need to go back very far to get at our
point. Our customs returns of 1883
showed that our imports from the
United States of America were three
million one hundred and eighty-seven
thousand yen and our exports to the
United States thirteen million three
hundred forty-seven thousand four
hundred and eight yen.
Results of our hard labor. reflect
ed upon the customs returns of 1907.
when the imports from the United
States enormously increased to the
amount of S0,967,362 yen. nearly
. twenty-seven times in value for the
last twenty-five years. I would like
to call your attention to the fact that
half of the imports are brought into
this port of the value of 3S,570,7 3S
yen. Now going back to the exports
| of last year of the United States from
this country is 13l, 1Oi,015 yen. That
shows we have increased only ten
, times for the past twenty-five years.
Your increase of twenty-seven times
In comparison with our increase OF
ten times for the same period of 2J
years may be called enormous. and
such increase as this could not be
explained unless 1t is based upon d
sound basis of commercial morality
Nationality, race distinction. and
language have no significance what.
ever In your eyes, being absorbed IN
the great and deep common human
ity of American spirit. Being led by
YOU, we will march shoulder to shout
der against any common enemy OF
humanity and the progress of civili-
zation. The bond of union thus
formed between us. cemented by the
loftiest sense of man Is proof against
any storm OF yellow papers and jim
Soists that may rave against II. Thus
the relation between the United
States and Japan is inviolable.
Our honored guests. we bid you
farewell, hoping you will carry away
with you the pleasantest memories of
our land and people. Though we bid
you farewell our desire would be tn
keep you longer among us, and.
though with the progress of the

a little pond. we wish you safe and

that Japanese progress and japanese
civilization are largely indebted ia
America. | mean II. and we really
owe very, very much to you. Let
me give here . few instances.
Commodore Perry, our benefactor
who can never be forgotten by any
of us as long as Japan exists as II
nation. came to our shore over fifCy
years ago To negotiate for the United
States a treaty of amity and COM
merce. Politically speaking, Il large
majority Of our people, then, were
opposed to the opening our country,
and adverse to foreign intercourse of
any kind.
However, we were forced to open
our country and conclude treaty
against our will for the sake of hui
mainly and the advancement OF civil
lization. Since then We have realized
that we were mistaken AS a nation in
entertaining the idea to exclude our
selves from the membership of the
family Of nations. This treaty may
be said, to have laid the foundation
of the present status of Japan. and
the landing spot of our benefactOr,
Commodore Perry, at Uraga is now
marked with permanent and superb
monument to his spirit.

gence while dwell for moment on

We feel that you have, by your
wonderful reception of the American
Fleet and Of the Honorary CONNER
cial Commissioners, gwen expression
in the clearcst and sincerest way pos
siblc, to your desire for the friend
ship and good will of the American
people. and we have no doubt but
that the effect will be to bring The
people of the two nations closer 20
gether.
Through the kindness of your COM
mercial bodies. we have been given
the opportunity to visit most of your
important industries and cities and
to see the agricultural and industrial
enterprises and also observe the COM
mercial opportunities which your
country possessesn
The Commissioners have viewed
with establishment the proficiency
YOU have attained In bringing The
land under the best cultivation for
agricultural purposes. As we passed
| through your country, we observed
that you had even utilized the upper
hill slopes for the production of rice
and tea. Every little patch of ground
shows the intense care and attention
which your people have bestowed
upon 1t.
We were amazed at the rapidity
with which the manufacturing life of
your country has sprung into being.
We have seen in every direction The
smoke of great manufacturing enter
prises curling skyward and It Is very
difficult TO realize that these indus
tries date back only a comparatively
few years.
We were afforded the opportunity
of visiting several large cotton-spin-
ming plants and It was indeed a reve-
lation to note the perfection to which
this industry has been brought.
