MY LADY FAIR.

NY LADY FAIR.
My lady fair of the teacups sits
Enthroned midst Sevres rare,
4 Her fingers play at hide and seek
And a rose sleeps in her hair.
Elusive, 1 try to catch her smile,
But, all twas not for me.
Those smiles and dimples went all
alike
To any who drank her tea.
Oh! just to take her in my arms,
AS sunbeams WOO the flowers,
So would l keep her all mine own
To soothe long, weary hours.
But we can not cage the song bird
wild,
Nor the smiles of woman fair,
So I'll hold it sweet to be the rose
That sleeps in my lady's hair.

A Queer Position.

MFRS WINIFRED HARPER COOLEY,
1VA the secretary of the Associated
Clubs of Domestic Science, said at the
pure food show in New York:

pay. We mustn't refuse the manufacturer
his legitimately higher price Any bag
Cling on our part would put us in the
rather nasty position Of the Cinnaminson
founder.
"A founder of Cinnaminson, in his daily
tour of the plant, noticed apprentice
who was hammering in a rather listless
manner.
THE founder, flushing angrily, went to
the lad, took the hammer from him, and
said:
- Son, when l see man hold his ham
mer by the end of the handle like this,
and strike good, hard. quick blows, like
ths-bang, bang, bang-'why l pay that
man SIG week But when a man holds
his hammer by the middle of the handle.
like this, and strikes as il he was tap
ping an egg, like this-why, 1 only pay
him 81 a week, and he's the first to go
when We get slack
THE founder returned the hammer
and looked at the boy sternly to see IL his
lesson had gone home.
THANK you, SIR was the mild reply.
And where ought 1 to hold it and how
ought 1 to strike for my 81 week."

DROP. FREDERICK w. WILLIAMS of

Chinese are tactless. To their tactless-

Prof. Williams, at luncheon at Prince

L have known missionaries as igno-

Jim Driscoll, farm boy. got a job
in steel mill, and his boss gave him a

and said:

school of equitation that ever existed.
His example was promptly followed in
Italy. and other schools were founded,
one at Ferrare, by Caesar Fiaschi. and
one at Naples. by Frederick Grison. Their
system consisted in an exaggerated sup
ping of the horse in a brutal manner.
They obtained results. however, and
horses trained In these schools were GER
tainly well in hand, but the training was
very long and not always successful.
All these horses of Italy, especially those
of Naples had a reputation for vicious
ness, which was probably due simply to
the exceptional severity of the horsemen.
The principles of the Italian schools
were brought to France at the end of
the sixteenth century by La Broue and
Pluvinel, pupils of Pignatelli. The no.
bility eagerly took UP the theoretical
study of an art that seemed new to them.
Competitions took the place Of Journeys.
and at the death Of Henry II the latter
disappeared entirely. Pluvinel who was
successfully first equerry to Henry Ill
and director of the royal stables under
Henry ", founded the first academies in
France.
Euuitation as taught in these acade-
mics was still slow and restricted. The
seat in the high saddle was always
straight and stiff. immoderare use was
made of the spur and switch, and the
methods of training were based pr1n-
cipally on the use of the cayesson and
of the posts.
In the seventeenth century the principal
riding masters were Soleyse, who pub
lished the Arafat Marechal and .translat-
ed the works Of Newcastle: Du Plessis,
De Lavallee, Vendeuil, who was Du la
Guerinere's teacher, and Gaspard Sau-

attested by the great horse shows held
from time to time, the increasing popu-
larity of polo. and the fact that our Off
GERS are entering into competition abroad
with corresponding visits from European
officers to our horse shows in New York,
Chicago and other parts of the country.
The idea Of the whole scheme is to
make the American cavalry soldier
perfect. fearless. dashing rider like his
forefather in the days of the Indian cam
paigns. With that end in view. upon the
return of the officers from France, they
will be appointed instructors in the Amer
lean mounted service schools. At these
schools all the men will be taught the rid
ing art. and upon return to their own
companies will In turn instruct each in
dividual member of the company. BY
this process Uncle Sam expects to gain
all the advantages of the we'll equipped
foreign institutions, and thus develop
the american school of equitation.
\ short history of the French system
of horsemanship and horse training. its
development. and how 1t has reached its
present supremacy, is OF interest The
horse has always been used in combat.
and here is found the origin or rather the
cause of the equestrian art. If man
had utilized the horse merely to cover
long distances or to bear burdens. SUI
ticent training for the purpose would have
been an easy matter. But when he de-
cided to fight from the horses back he
was obliged to develop a complete and
logical system Of steps in training and
handling.
1t is generally known that the Greeks,
the Gauls and the Romans used the
horse in their campaigns Covering this
long period, only the works of Xenophon
need be cited. The books written by the
ancient Greek are especially good, be-
cause they include all the fundamental
principles of horsemanship. and even to-
day may be consulted to advantage.
Prior to the fifth century a covering
stretched over the horses back was the
only form of saddle. The Orientals made

mounting blocks. and the Romans made
use of stones. called ''stades.' which were
set along the roads for the same purpose.
1t was not until the end of the fifth cen
fury, however. that the saddle tree was
invented, and later Stirrups were added
This invention materially modified meth
DDS of equitation and permitted the rider
to remain longer in the saddle without
becoming tired.
During the long period described as the
middle ages two customs contributed
largely to progress in equitatior These
two fashions were chivalry and tourna-
ments. All the youth Of the French no
bility. eager to rise to the dignity of
knighthood, received an education In
which the first essential was to learn
how to ride. Equitation it is under

sive: the legs, held straight and far out
from the horse. could be closed only by
jerks; the overloaded horses necessarily
lacked suppleness. Equitation was SIM
ply an exhibition of brute strength, but
it was well adapted to the form of com
bat and to the breed of horses then exist
ing. During the period of the middle
ages there are no works On equitation.
The horscmeu of that period were GER
tainly not writer's, and, moreover. horse
back riding with them was business
rather than an art.
This lack of written history Of the art
brings us to the time Of Pignatelli, an
Italian nobleman of the sixteenth CEN
fury, who founded at Naples the first
