To See the Wind.

Seeing the wind is a rare but easy
feat. The object wherewith 1t may
he seen is a common saw. On any
blowy day-the wind being, say, in
the north-hold your saw with its
ends pointing, one to the east, the
other to the west. Take the saw
as if you were going TO cut the air
upward, and let the teeth. which are
on top, tilt over till the fiat part of
the saw is at an angle of forty-fve
degrees with the horizon. lou will
then see the wind. Looking along
the teeth Of the saw YOU will see
the wind pour over them as plainly
as you may see water pouring over
a fall.

Some Notable Instances Of Speed and
En5arsnce.

EnG 4rsnce.
So far as the most Trustworthy
data show. the most astounding
feat Of long distance riding was ne
complished by an American rough
rider. one Barbour. who undertook
to proceed from New York to Par
is, via Boring strait and Siberia. a
total distance of some 10000 miles,
He turned the trick in 1000 days.
In the matter Of speed and en-
durance combined, there may be
cited two instances of horseman-
ship during the reigns Of Henry
viii. of England and his daughter,
Elizabeth. Wolsey, then a royal
chaplain and afterward the great
cardinal, achieved a remarkable
feat in a journey 10 the Neither
lands. whittier he went TO see En-
peror Macmillan. Leaving London
al t in the afternoon, Wolsey tray
eled by boat To Grayesend, rode
through the night TO Dover and,
crossing TO Calais, finished his jour
ney on horseback, reaching the en-
peror that same evening. On the
following morning he posted back
10 Calais and had reached Rich
mond by sunset. accomplishing the
Journey to Holland and back IN
something over two days.
The other instance referred to
was that on the occasion Of the
death of Queen Elizabeth. II was
then that Robert Cary hastily de-
parted from London TO carry the
news to the succeeding ruler, james
VI. of Scotland. Riding out of
Whitehall a little after 8 o'clock on
a Thursday morning, Cary covered
155 miles. TO Doncaster, that same
night. The next day he proceeded
to his home at Witherington, where
he spent some time disposing Of
important business. and did not
start for Edinburgh till the next
morning. Had not an accident be-
fallen him he would have reached
the Scottish city by midnight. As
it was, he achieved the entire jour
nev of 400 miles within three days.
Just after the outbreak of the
Kafir war Sir Harry Smith, carry
ing the news from Cape Town to
Grahamstown, covered 700 miles in
six days, riding across a wild and
nearly trackless country.
The Germans are not generally
rcputed to be good riders. But sew
eral wears ago some officers Of the
imperial army accomplished Won
derful feats of horsemanship in
striving for prizes offered by the
emperor for long distance riding
Many officers tried to ride from
Berlin to Vienna, a distance Of 42j
miles. The winner was Count
Staremberg, who completed the
long journey in seventy-one hours
and twenty minutes and was
awarded prize of $1,000 as well
as a silver bust Of the emperor.
Staremberg's unfortunate horse did
not survive the run.-New York

A Spoiled Climax.

Actors and actresses sometimes
meet with strange Interruptions in
their most thrilling scenes.
Richard Mansfield used to tell
grimly of a performance Of "a Pa
risian Romance" He was at his
best, he would say, that night. He
carried the entire audience with
him. And when his great climax
came, when he lifted the last glass
of champagne to his lips and his
face twitched and his hand and arm
shook convulsiyely, splashing the
wine in all directions. there was a
profound silence, thrilling horror,
in the house.
In this tense, breathless moment
a man in the gallery was heard to
cry out in fierce indignation:
