The pupil of a good riding master is usually disappointed at not being al- lowed to do more in the first lesson. le expects to mount the horse at once, start off with a trot and wind up with a canter. le is a little annoyed upon finding that the first lesson consists almost wholly of oral instruction and a great part of it on foot at that. If the master is conscientious he will not permit the anxiety to-be off and doing to interfere with a proper understand- ing of the A B C of the art. Should the beginner apply at one.of the big riding academies in New York for instruction the first lesson will begin with the leading by a groom of a horse, bridled and saddled, into the center of the ring. The riding master and the pupil take their stand close by, and the former begins to explain painstakingly the va- rious parts of the saddle and bridle and their purposes. Before anything further is attempted the pupil musi be able to answer simple questions in regard to the pomm& and the cantle, the curb and the snaffle. and to know the uses of the two bits. Omar Khayyam's Translator. To FitzGerald, careless, disorderly, unconventional, who had for so long foillowed his own sweet will, punctil- Ions etiquette and fastidious neatness in attire were above all things hateful He once said to a friend: "I couldn't be bothered with all those whims- dressing for this and dressing for that I cou'ldn't put up with it." He and a friend were dining at a hotel, and among the good things set before them was a noble fruit pie But they had eaten so heartily of the first course that when it came to the pie's turn they were beaten. FitzGer ald looked troubled. "Mrs. So-and-s (the hostess), who knows my partiality for fruit," said he, "will take It as a slight if we leave the pie untouched.' So without more ado he cut out a .good sliced wedge with a fair allow ance of fruIt and dropped it into his hat, which he covered with his yellow silk handkerchief, and rang the bell for the bill.-Wright's "Life of Fitz- Gerald."

When Queen Tictoria visited any of her subjects it was by no means a matter of course that people staying In the house should have the privilege of sitting down at table with their august fellow visitor. It was her majesty's custom not only to take with her to the house where she designed to "lie" (as the old phrase was) for a night or two her own bed and bedding, carriages, horses and servants (including occa- sionally her cook), but also to confine herself at meals to the company of her own suit, sometimes inviting her host and hostess to join her at luncheon ox dinner.

Lor- BLUE GRASS It Is a Native of the Wabash Valley In Indiana. "A great many people contend that blue grass was first found in Ken- tucky." said an eminent Indiana geolo- gist, 'but this is not so. Blue grass is a native of the Wabash valley. in Indiana. It was found by William Henry Harrison's troops during that solemn march to Tippecanotin 1811. Harrison gathered a small army at Ohio Falls and started north. At Vin- cennes the gallant heroes realized that they could not go 200 miles up the Wabash without feed for their horses. General Harrison had two cribs of corn at Terre Haute and persuaded the men to go on. As they came on with hungry horses and scant feed they found the ground covered with blue grass. "Six miles west of Newport, on the Coliett farm, was found a bountiful supply of blue grass. Some places in the bottom it was growing three feet high, and such feed had never been heard of by the Kentucky soldier. At State Line City more blue grass was found, and from there to Tippecanoe the whole line of march was covered with blue grass. "The seed was carried back to Ken- tucky and sown there, but they could not make it thrive alone in the warm soil, and it had to be sown with oats and rye. Mr. Sandusky told me in an early day that no blue grass grew in Kentucky until after It was imported from Indiana. Tom Downing of Terre Haute was an ardent admirer of Hen- ry Clay and once v-cut to visit him at his home near Ashland, Ky. After seeing the fine farm well set in blue grass Downing suggested that Mr. Clay let him have some of the seed to take back to Indiana. '"Tom, don't make a fool of your- self,' said Clay. 'The grandsire of Kentucky blue grass is growing around your house and In the fence corners of your fields. We got the seed from Terre Haute and the mid- die Wabash and after a hard struggle got it to grow here In its present lux- ariousness.' "-Indianapolis Journal. MONKEY MOTHERS. They Display More Pare Affection Than Any Other Animal. A wild beast tamer of long experi- ence tells some interesting thi'gs of the affection of animals for their young. He had an elephant once, he says, who did all in her power to spoil tier young one. She fussed over it and cuddled it up so that when the time came for it to leave the cage It was simply unmanageable. When one of the men made a bold move toward the baby he was promptly butted in the stomach and bowled over in a peculiar way which the youngster had of ex- pressing his feelings toward those whom he disliked. At last by a rus4 the mother and son were separated. But there was no such thing as keep- Ing them apart The baby rubbed the skin off its forehead and trunk trying to get through the bars, and both wailed so long and piteously that the keeper was obliged to put them to- gether again. A shy baby camel that passed through the hands of thjs same trainer refused to look upon tlie world except from its favorite station between its mother's legs. The mother, too, would show her displeasure at any effort to- ward intimacy by spitting violently at evcry one in sight. The kangaroo also is very fond of her offspring and will patiently carry it about long after It is ready to hop on its own account. Bur for a display of pure affection the nother monkey beats any other animal, and when there Is an addition to the family circle there is general re-- Joicing. A baby monkey sticks fast by its mother, and, asleep or awake, it seems always in her thoughts. The Lazy Koreans. It Is hardly an exaggeration to say that the Koreans are the laziest people on earth. All day long they lie about the streets smoking their gigantie pipes. A native pipe Is a six foot length of bamboo, with a metal bowl, and Is carried tucked into the neckband and down the trousers leg. All work of very nearly every kind is done by the wom- en, who occupy perhaps the most de- graded position held by the sex of any nation. The unfortunate female popu- lation is collectively a beast of burden and denied even the most elementary recognition as human beings. A Ko- rean girl has no name. She is merely known as "daughter of So-and-so," her father. THE ANGRY TREE. Peculiar Anties of This Curiosity of Plant Life.1 There is in the wilds of northwestern Idaho a species of the acacia tree which is entitled to be classed as one of the wonders of plant life. It grows to a height of about eight feet and when full grown closes its leaves to- gether in coils each day at sunset and curls its twigs to the shape of pigtails. After the tree has settled Itself thus for a night's sleep, if touched the whole thing gill flutter as if agitated or im- patient at being disturbed. The oftener the foliage is molested the more vio- lent becomes the shaking of the branches, and at length the tree emits a nauseating odor, which if inhaled for a few moments causes a violent, dizzy headache. The angry tree, as it has been named, was discovered by travelers, who upon making camp for the night placed one end of a canvas covering over one of the sensitive branches, using it for a support. Immediately the tree began to sharply jerk its branches. The motion contInued, growing more nervous, until at last the sickening odor which it gave out drove the tired campers to a more friendly location. Curiosity of course prompted an investigation. One of the angry trees was dug up and thrown to one side. Immediately upon being removed from the ground the tree opened its leaves, Its twigs lost their pigtails, and for something over an hour and a half the outraged branches showed their Indignation by a series of quakings, which grew weaker as time passed, finally ceasing altogether, when the foliage hung limp and withered. The next morning the tree was placed upright In the ground again, a little water was applied to the roots, and very soon it resumed its normal condition.-Bioston Globe. Carefully Brought Up. "Were you carefully brought up, my lad?" asked the merchant of the ap- plicant for a situation. "Please, sir, yes, sir; I came up In the elevator, sir." said the respectful yot. Making sure.

Representative Hearst Sought Have Rural Service Condi- tions Bettered. Rural letter carriers have lost th fight to obtain adequate compensat] from the government.. The Repub] an majority in congress has gone record in favor of the meager allo ance of $0 a month to rural carrii who have to buy and feed their o horses and work every day in the y( in all kinds of weather. When the rural carriers went to c4 gress with their petition they fou but half a dozen active supporters, a in the lead of the fight for justice a decent wages stood Representat William Randolph Hearst of X York. Against the united oppositJ to a fair increase Mr. Hearst and few fair minded Democrats sought amend the postal appropriation 1 and give the carriers salaries commi surate with the service they perforH Their efforts were frustrated by a termined majority. The rural carri< are now worse off than they were year ago. Their salaries have been creased to $720 a year, but the pri lege to carry express and daily nei papers is taken away from them. Cheap Coal. In a recent report by the Amerl consul at Vladivostok It is stated't] coal Is mined in that district at a c of 2 cents a ton. Until a short time i the cost of production was 5 cents ton. In fixing wage rates for Am ian miners the coal barons inyarial make comparisons with the cost of p duction in other parts of the woi and this tends to keep the earnings the American at the lowest possi point. About the only influence in t country whieh has combated the. wi reducing tendency of the coal baro has been the insistent and persist effort of the Hearst papers, which under the direct editorial managemi of William Randolph Hearst Attempts have been made to enfo antitrust laws to loosen the grip of coal operators upon American domes and industrial life, and the publc given the methods of the greedy mon olists has been effective in mitigat somewhat the unjust conditions.

The First Riding Lesson.The pupil of a good riding master is

usually disappointed at not being al-lowed to do more in the first lesson.le expects to mount the horse at once,start off with a trot and wind up witha canter. le is a little annoyed uponfinding that the first lesson consistsalmost wholly of oral instruction and a

great part of it on foot at that. Ifthe master is conscientious he will notpermit the anxiety to-be off and doingto interfere with a proper understand-ing of the A B C of the art. Should thebeginner apply at one.of the big ridingacademies in New York for instructionthe first lesson will begin with theleading by a groom of a horse, bridledand saddled, into the center of the ring.The riding master and the pupil taketheir stand close by, and the formerbegins to explain painstakingly the va-

rious parts of the saddle and bridleand their purposes. Before anythingfurther is attempted the pupil musibe able to answer simple questions inregard to the pomm& and the cantle,the curb and the snaffle. and to knowthe uses of the two bits.

Omar Khayyam's Translator.To FitzGerald, careless, disorderly,

unconventional, who had for so longfoillowed his own sweet will, punctil-Ions etiquette and fastidious neatnessin attire were above all things hatefulHe once said to a friend: "I couldn'tbe bothered with all those whims-dressing for this and dressing for thatI cou'ldn't put up with it."He and a friend were dining at a

hotel, and among the good things setbefore them was a noble fruit pieBut they had eaten so heartily of thefirst course that when it came to thepie's turn they were beaten. FitzGerald looked troubled. "Mrs. So-and-s(the hostess), who knows my partialityfor fruit," said he, "will take It as a

slight if we leave the pie untouched.'So without more ado he cut out a

.good sliced wedge with a fair allowance of fruIt and dropped it into hishat, which he covered with his yellowsilk handkerchief, and rang the bellfor the bill.-Wright's "Life of Fitz-Gerald."

Health Fads on the Brain.To get all sorts of health fads on the

brain Is a disease in itself. It is a veryprevalent -disease too. With a fewfoolish rules to observe, a whole lot ofhygienic quirks to adjust to and a

schedule of superstitious sanitary notions diligently followed by day anddreamed of by night, Is a maladywhich begins as a mental derangemeniand ends in a complete physical fizzle.No room left for a spontaneous life, neplace for free, joyous liberty. Not aminute's space for rollicking disregardEverything fixed, every minute dis-posed of, introspections without num-ber. Forebodings, misgivings, hover-ing vaguely about the mind, like flock'of carrion crows. Such a life Is notworth living.-Medical Talk.

Victoria Was Exclusive.When Queen Tictoria visited any of

her subjects it was by no means amatter of course that people staying Inthe house should have the privilege ofsitting down at table with their augustfellow visitor. It was her majesty'scustom not only to take with her to thehouse where she designed to "lie" (asthe old phrase was) for a night or twoher own bed and bedding, carriages,horses and servants (including occa-sionally her cook), but also to confineherself at meals to the company of herown suit, sometimes inviting her hostand hostess to join her at luncheon oxdinner.

The Fickle Fair Ones.

Engagements are entered into faxmore lightly and broken far more eas-fly than used to be the case, when a be-trothal was as serious an affair as mar-riage. Now it is not unusual for a girlto be engaged once or twice before sheIs married, and people think none theworse of her. Young girls' ways arebeginning to resemble those of nurse-maids, who walk out with a man, butnot atlways with a view to matrimony.-Laily Gre'ville- in London Graphic.

Niew Year's In Japan.Most of the people you meet on the

BLUE GRASS

It Is a Native of the Wabash ValleyIn Indiana.

"A great many people contend thatblue grass was first found in Ken-tucky." said an eminent Indiana geolo-gist, 'but this is not so. Blue grassis a native of the Wabash valley. inIndiana. It was found by WilliamHenry Harrison's troops during thatsolemn march to Tippecanotin 1811.Harrison gathered a small army atOhio Falls and started north. At Vin-cennes the gallant heroes realized thatthey could not go 200 miles up theWabash without feed for their horses.General Harrison had two cribs ofcorn at Terre Haute and persuaded themen to go on. As they came on withhungry horses and scant feed theyfound the ground covered with bluegrass."Six miles west of Newport, on the

Coliett farm, was found a bountifulsupply of blue grass. Some places inthe bottom it was growing three feethigh, and such feed had never beenheard of by the Kentucky soldier. AtState Line City more blue grass wasfound, and from there to Tippecanoethe whole line of march was coveredwith blue grass."The seed was carried back to Ken-

tucky and sown there, but they couldnot make it thrive alone in the warmsoil, and it had to be sown with oatsand rye. Mr. Sandusky told me in an

early day that no blue grass grew inKentucky until after It was importedfrom Indiana. Tom Downing of TerreHaute was an ardent admirer of Hen-ry Clay and once v-cut to visit him athis home near Ashland, Ky. Afterseeing the fine farm well set in bluegrass Downing suggested that Mr.Clay let him have some of the seed totake back to Indiana.'"Tom, don't make a fool of your-

self,' said Clay. 'The grandsire ofKentucky blue grass is growingaround your house and In the fencecorners of your fields. We got theseed from Terre Haute and the mid-die Wabash and after a hard strugglegot it to grow here In its present lux-ariousness.' "-Indianapolis Journal.

MONKEY MOTHERS.

They Display More Pare AffectionThan Any Other Animal.

A wild beast tamer of long experi-ence tells some interesting thi'gs ofthe affection of animals for theiryoung. He had an elephant once, hesays, who did all in her power to spoiltier young one. She fussed over it andcuddled it up so that when the timecame for it to leave the cage It was

simply unmanageable. When one ofthe men made a bold move toward thebaby he was promptly butted in thestomach and bowled over in a peculiarway which the youngster had of ex-

pressing his feelings toward thosewhom he disliked. At last by a rus4the mother and son were separated.But there was no such thing as keep-Ing them apart The baby rubbed theskin off its forehead and trunk tryingto get through the bars, and bothwailed so long and piteously that thekeeper was obliged to put them to-gether again.A shy baby camel that passed

through the hands of thjs same trainerrefused to look upon tlie world exceptfrom its favorite station between itsmother's legs. The mother, too, wouldshow her displeasure at any effort to-ward intimacy by spitting violently atevcry one in sight.The kangaroo also is very fond of

her offspring and will patiently carryit about long after It is ready to hop onits own account.Bur for a display of pure affection

the nother monkey beats any otheranimal, and when there Is an additionto the family circle there is general re--Joicing. A baby monkey sticks fast byits mother, and, asleep or awake, itseems always in her thoughts.

The Lazy Koreans.It Is hardly an exaggeration to say

that the Koreans are the laziest peopleon earth. All day long they lie aboutthe streets smoking their gigantiepipes. A native pipe Is a six foot lengthof bamboo, with a metal bowl, and Iscarried tucked into the neckband anddown the trousers leg. All work of verynearly every kind is done by the wom-en, who occupy perhaps the most de-graded position held by the sex of anynation. The unfortunate female popu-lation is collectively a beast of burdenand denied even the most elementaryrecognition as human beings. A Ko-rean girl has no name. She is merelyknown as "daughter of So-and-so," herfather.

THE ANGRY TREE.

Peculiar Anties of This Curiosity ofPlant Life.1

There is in the wilds of northwesternIdaho a species of the acacia treewhich is entitled to be classed as oneof the wonders of plant life. It growsto a height of about eight feet andwhen full grown closes its leaves to-gether in coils each day at sunset andcurls its twigs to the shape of pigtails.After the tree has settled Itself thusfor a night's sleep, if touched the wholethinggill flutter as if agitated or im-patient at being disturbed. The oftenerthe foliage is molested the more vio-lent becomes the shaking of thebranches, and at length the tree emitsa nauseating odor, which if inhaled fora few moments causes a violent, dizzyheadache.The angry tree, as it has been named,

was discovered by travelers, who uponmaking camp for the night placed oneend of a canvas covering over one ofthe sensitive branches, using it for asupport. Immediately the tree began tosharply jerk its branches. The motioncontInued, growing more nervous, untilat last the sickening odor which itgave out drove the tired campers to amore friendly location. Curiosity ofcourse prompted an investigation. Oneof the angry trees was dug up andthrown to one side. Immediately uponbeing removed from the ground thetree opened its leaves, Its twigs losttheir pigtails, and for something overan hour and a half the outragedbranches showed their Indignation bya series of quakings, which grewweaker as time passed, finally ceasingaltogether, when the foliage hung limpand withered. The next morning thetree was placed upright In the groundagain, a little water was applied to theroots, and very soon it resumed itsnormal condition.-Bioston Globe.

Carefully Brought Up."Were you carefully brought up, my

lad?" asked the merchant of the ap-plicant for a situation."Please, sir, yes, sir; I came up In

the elevator, sir." said the respectful

CARRIERS' POOR WAGES.Representative Hearst Sought

Have Rural Service Condi-tions Bettered.

Rural letter carriers have lost th

fight to obtain adequate compensat]from the government.. The Repub]an majority in congress has gonerecord in favor of the meager alloance of $0 a month to rural carriiwho have to buy and feed their ohorses and work every day in the y(in all kinds of weather.When the rural carriers went to c4

termined majority. The rural carri<are now worse off than they wereyear ago. Their salaries have beencreased to $720 a year, but the prilege to carry express and daily nei

papers is taken away from them.

Cheap Coal.In a recent report by the Amerl

consul at Vladivostok It is stated't]coal Is mined in that district at a cof 2 cents a ton. Until a short time ithe cost of production was 5 centston. In fixing wage rates for Amian miners the coal barons inyarialmake comparisons with the cost of pduction in other parts of the woiand this tends to keep the earningsthe American at the lowest possipoint. About the only influence in tcountry whieh has combated the. wireducing tendency of the coal barohas been the insistent and persisteffort of the Hearst papers, whichunder the direct editorial managemiof William Randolph HearstAttempts have been made to enfo

antitrust laws to loosen the grip ofcoal operators upon American domesand industrial life, and the publcgiven the methods of the greedy monolists has been effective in mitigatsomewhat the unjust conditions.

Countries as Presents.Cleopatra received Egypt as a pres

Onof the excellent stories of the. past ithat the Emperor Constantine gav,Rome and all Italy to -Pope Sylvesteiwho cured him of lepros.y. King Joicalled Lackland, being excommunicated by Pope Innocent III., gave to thapope and his successors the kingdom oIreland and England.

nal The Bireh.V'i~lOld writers in mentioning birch tree:seldom failed to say solemnly that the;

notwere useful to grow branches wit].nt,which to give boys thrashings. Turne:iedregards the supply of "flexible, penden'er,branches" for purposes of punishmen:rasas the chief merit of the tree. Coleiag-also based his estimate of the birdlighchiefly oa its use in the supply of rod!ck,as Instrun:ents of punishment, for htwrites: "The civfl uses whereunto th<

to birch serveth are many, as for $ie puntheishament of children, both at home anmentat school; for it hath an admirable Inim-fluence upon them to quiet them wheithey are out of order, and therefori

>ddsome call it makepeace." In ancienioedRome the fasces of the lictors, wit]idswhich they cleared the way for magisdattrates, were formed with rods of birchiyand their influence was sufficient to Ina.sure a rapid dispersion of men assem-bled where they would impede thipassage of the administrators of thilaw. From that time to within a com.paratively recent period the bircher

herod was regarded as one of the mositimportant deterrents of juvenile de-Spravity.
