edly carried with them a considerable
baggage of practical horsemanship; the
riding at the academy unified. polished,
and applied to military ends this previous
knowledge. At the present day, on the
contrary, cadet usually starts his
riding hall career with complete ignor-
ance of the horse, and the time allotted
to riding at West Point Is too small to
enable his instructors to do more than
teach him the mere rudiments of horse
manship. He does learn to stick on and
to be, in most cases, a daring and Wig
orous rough rider, but horseman he
generally is not when he graduates. and
at least a year of persistent work under
a day is needed before the average young
ster is at all ready to act as a riding
master for recruits.
Another reason why West Point Is no
longer sufficient as school of equitation
lies in the fact that our standards of
horsemanship are now higher than they
were ten or fifteen years ago, and the
complacent satisfaction which then existed
with our methods has been succeeded Dy
a fearless criticism of them and frank
comparison with the superior results OBJ
tanned in other armies. This has been
brought about by several causes. CHIEF
among which are the numerous visits OF
our officers to European countries having
well trained cavalry and highly developed
schools of military equita'i and the ar
and influence of cavalry officers who
themselves are vigorous horsemen, such
as Gen Bell, our present chief Of staff.
Gen. Darlington. our inspector general.
and Gen. Aleshire, our quartermaster
general.

New Uses of Railway Terminals.

From the New YORK WoFiu
The proposed opening of a permanent
merchants and manufacturers exposition
and exchange in connection with the
Grand Central station points to new uses
OF railway terminals. On a site north
of the station and Immediately adjacent
to il the New York Central and New
Haven railroads plan to erect twin
twelve-story Office buildings covering
two entire blocks and designed to serve
as a central salesroom. floor space
OF thirty acres will be provided for the
display of goods. and clubrooms and
reading rooms will be maintained for
buyers. along with a restaurant and a
roof garden. A large assembly hall will
be available for automobile, electrical.
textile and other shows.
The effect, on the wholesale trade of
this concentration of manufacturing in
terests under one roof remains to be
seen. Railway terminals have included
hotel facilities in England. and there
has long been an example of a terminal
hotel in ST. Louis. The Grand Central
station in this city has become a hotel
center, and a theater was under consid-
Grafton in connection with the unfinished
Pennsylvania station. But the idea of
terminals as trade centers is novelty.
Signs have not been wanting that with

A Peripatetic Restaurant.


The eating stall is quite an institution
in China and the average Chinaman
thinks nothing of stopping and having a
feed at a street restaurant. The proprie-
tor carries the whole of his stock in trade
on his shoulders. The stall itself consists
Of two cylindrical boxes attached to yoke
or pole. One Of these boxes usually con-
tains q fire, on which John cooks weird
dainties into the composition of which 1t
is unwise to inquire. for the Chinaman
has a scientific appetite-that is to say.
he will eat anything that in any way
forms food. Squeamishness Is sensation
unknown to him. The keepers of these
street stalls sell good fruit. excellent pas
tries. and simply delicious sweets at a
price SO low that 1t would astonish even
the proprietor OF an Italian restaurant.

A College Mans Cuteness.
From the Strand.


Bribery, blackmail, corruption of all
kinds frequently illustrate the light side
of finance. There is story of a young
man who. late one cold and wintry night,
found the door of his college locked
against him. The young man outside ar
gued with the doorkeeper inside. cajoled
and entreated, but to no avail. Eventually
he slipped half a sovereign under the
door and was admitted. 1t was finan-
cial deal wisely thought out on strict
business lines. Once inside, he informed
the janitor falsely) that unfortunately,
after taking the half-sovereign out of his
purse, he had dropped the purse itself on
the doorstep. The attendant went out to
secure it. but once on the chilly. wet door
STEP the door was slammed. Then the
deal was repeated, for the shivering mer-
cenary was not allowed into his warm
abode until he had slipped the half-sover-
eign back again.

L1ck's First Love Affair
From the Strand.

There are many stories of the lighter
side of finance in which love affairs find
place. Perhaps none of these is more
peculiar than the story of James Lick

through monument to his memory. the
great Lick observatory in California In
the financial world the great city Of San
Francisco Is monument to Lick's luck
he foresaw the possibility of the great
city of the Pacific slope, bought the land
on which 1t now stands, and became a
millionaire. Before that time the name
of Lick was great in the musical world
LickS pianos-out of which he made the
money which he invested in land-were
manufactured by him. But on the poetic
side of life-a world apart from such
things as piano making and mud fiat
the great Lick mill stands as monu-
ment TO Lick's love
In early life James Lick sought the
hand of a miller's daughter. but was
repelled by the father on the ground
that the young suitor did not possess
mill Many years afterward when
he had become one of the richest men
in the states, he erected a large mill
and adorned ii like a palace. It was
built of mahogany and costly woods, and
erected solely as a memorial of his youth
full attachment. His only pleasure was

gloat over the man who had spurned

Utilizing the Wind.
From the Columbus Journal

From the Columbus Journal.
The use of the wind as a motor is now
confined to the pumping of water for
farms and rural homes. II answers well
for this, since the irregularity of its op-
GRAFTON rather favors than discourages its
use in supplying house with water. 1t
is now reported from London that TINS IN
constancy of the wind is to be remedied
by an electrical process. which stores the
force and keeps 1t on tap to be used as
needed. This new idea has been success
fully applied in England. and Its use VIII
no doubt be widely extended.
1t would seem strange that the lorce OF
the wind could not be economized Ger
tainly. only the application Of little
genius to the problem will make sue
cess of 1t. There Is the power sweeping
blythe thing to do is to arrest It ana

man intelligence has worked out many
