MAN AND HIS HORSE.
The Way to Show Approval That tho
Animal Will Appreciate.


Caress plays no small part In de
veloping the best in any horse, but this
Is never to be by word Of mouth. You
may as well curse as bless for all your
horse knows or cares. The caress OF
the hand addressed to the part with
which the animal has just performed
some feat Is always aDpreciated-the
expression shows that-and one loves
to see q good man as he lands safe
over big place just reach back and
give the clever horse a loving pat or
two on that swelling muscular loiL
which has been the chief agent in
negotiating the obstruction.
Do not pat neck or shoulder or any
part not actively engaged IN the under
taking. Caress may do no good, but
1t is pleasant to believe that 1t does,
and we are quite positive that the
voice simply diyerts attention. The for
mer mode Of address is at least worthy
Of trial If only as a mark Of apprecia-
ton between two gentlemen. The
threatening tones appear sometimes
serviceable, but this is so only when
horses have been abused and associate
punishment with the stern voice. The
wild horse is as Indifferent to the voice
Of affection as to that OF rage,-~Brom

The biggest wedding ever known to
history was when Alexander the Great

officers should marry 100 women from
the noblest Persian and Medean fam
lilies. He further stipulated that 10000
Of his Greek soldiers. should take to
wife 10000 Asiatic. women.
For this purpose a vast pavilion was
erected, the pillars being, sixty feet
high. One .hundred gorgeous cham

He gave his hand tojStatira and kissed
her, and all the remaining brideggooms
