(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
A abort, blaok-nioustno'icd gentleman,
with a long whip in his hand, was
standing in the centre of a oirena ring
talking to a gray atallion. The animal
stood fully sixteen hands high, waa
powerfully built as a Flemish draught
horse, and had a coot that glistened liko
satin. Its white tail awopt the sawdust
in tho ring, and its head and neck wore
as clean cut and graceful as n. swbii’s.
"Whoa, there I Whoa, my beauty 1”
Then he approaohed and stroked the
creature's neck, while it whinnied softly
snd pawed tho sawdust with its off fore
foot. Tho man was Hiram Marks, ring- '
master with John Robinson’s show, and
this was his school of horses.
"I am just giving this stallion his les
son, now," ho said. "Ho is a l>eginncr,
fairly well advanced in tho ‘First Read
er,’ wo may say. I advancod him from
the ‘Primer’ last week, and I find that lie
has so much intelligence that it is preffy
clear I will bo able to carry him through
the nigh School and graduate him as a
No. 1 trick horso. When ho eamo to
mo he had bcon handled enough to bear
tho girth and the bit. I satisfied my- .
self that he was a beauty and had a cor-
tain degree of intelligence boforo I be
gan to handle him, as it is timo thrown
away to educate an ungainly horse or
one that is not exceedingly bright. I
put a girth on him, slipped a bit into his
month, put tho bridle ovor his hend
fastened the over-oheck nnd sido lines to
his girth, nnd led him into the ring.
Tho ring, ns you see, is n regular circus
ring, with raised circumference and a
Centro polo. 1 buckled this lunge cord
Into the ring at bin bit, and there ho
was, ready to tnko his first lesson.
"Tho first thing to teach him is to go
around the outer edge of the ring, in
stead of running across it, as it is his
first impulse. By threatening him with
tho whip, I keep him from tho centre of
the ring, and by pulling on tho lungn
cord I hold him from going too far and
elimhing tho embankment. In the
oourse of a week or two, by working
twice a day, any horso can learn to lope
or gallop altout tho ring, either way, ns
oommanded. nave you ever noticed
that all circus riders ride around
the ring from right to left? No?
Well, thoy do. An Italian by tho name
of Jumarny was the only ridor I ever
knew who rode from left to right.
"After this stallion had learned to go
around tho ring when commanded, I
started in to teach him to come to me at
a motion of the whip. I have reached
that stage now. Ton can see for your
self how I go about it."
He cracked tho whip and the beauti
ful horse not off on a lope only to stop
short when tho whip crnckod again.
"Como," said tho trainer, pulling
gently on the lungo cord and motioning
with tho whip handle. There was a
second pause, and then the steady
strain of the cord told the animal what
was wanted, and he walked slowly to
ward his muster. When ho had reached
the desired jioitit an applu and a caress
woro given him, and then the entire not
was repeated.
"With plenty of apples and candy the
right kind of a horse can be taught any
thing. No, they neither need nor get
nny whipping at all while their edu
cation is in progress. They may be
lapped occasionally with tho whip
liaudle or brushed with the lash, but
the main use of the whip in to tell
(hem when to move by its craeking, and
to tell them how to move by its motions.
The principal sigualHjto a horse aro made
with tho whip handle; when tho voice is
used it is done more to beguile tho nu-
dieuoe than to enlighten tho horse. For
instance, when I say ‘Come,’ I move m.y
whip in a certain manber, and the horse
comes. Without the motion of the whip
he would not understand mo, while with
out the word ‘come’ my wants would be
perfectly clear to him, and he would
obey by tho whip alone.
"Dan Rice had ono of tho very few
horses that have boon broken to tho
voice, and that hupi>cucd only by acci
dent. When Dan began with him tho
nag had perfectly good eyes, and was
broken to tho motion of tho whip, but
while the training was in progress it |
went stone blind. It was such a ,
beautiful and intelligent creature that j
Mr. Rico did not want to give it up, and, ]
reasoning that if a cart horso oan be
taught to ‘goo’ and ‘haw’ by sound, his
horse could be taught other things in the
same way, ho went to work and broke
the animal ovor again to the voice. For
the act done by this blind horse and its
mate, Dan Rice used to get 81,000 every
week that ho exhibited them. The fig
ures aro not exaggerated. I know this
to be a fact.”
“You say that with apples tho right
horse can bo taught anything. Will
‘'ou explain ?’•
“Why, it. is all clear. When I say
tho right horse I mean a nag like this
ono here—a horse that moves quickly,
that keeps his eye constantly on you,
and understands your motions. There
are men, yon know, who are sluggish
and dull of perception—what is called
fat-witted—and there are just that kind
of horses. Such a nag I could hardly
teach to run aronnd the ring in the
same time that I could give an entire
education to an alert and intelligent ani
mal. Then there is another kind of
horse that may be intelligent enough,
but which will never suit me, and that
is a vicious beast.
"8omo years ago among the best
Known American equestrians was Mr.
Levi J. North. I think he is living in
retirement in Now York State now. Ho
was breaking a crcam-oolored stallion in
the ring one morning while I was end
ing outside obewing a straw and talking
to some of the boys. Tho beast was
handsome and quick enough, but it was
as vicious as a hyena, and that morning
something bad disturbed It in the stable,
so that when it dauoed into tho ring its
little black eyes glittered like a snake’s.
I expected trouble, but North knew his
business, and the rest of ns contented
ourselves with looking on. I had turned
my head to say something to one of the
boys when I heard a shriek. I wheoled
around, and there was North whirling
around that stallion’s head ns a boy
whirls a basket. Tho beast bad oanglit
him with its teeth by one wrist, and
after a couple of whirls it sent him crash
mg through tho ropes on tho other side
of tho ring. His wrist was broken, and
Do is oripplod to this day. No, I thank
you; no vicious stallion for mo.
"Now, in teaching an animal to pick
up a liandkcrohiof, for instance, let mo
show you how the apple works. That
net is pretty well along—in the ‘Hixth
Reader,’ sny; but my beginner hero will
do it for yon this once.”
The trainer broke a small russet apple
iu two pieces, and wrapped one of tho
picceB in his handkerchief. This he
placed to tho horse’s noso long enough
for it to get the soent of the apple, nnd
then, walking to the other aide of tho
ring, ho placed the handkerchief nnd
apple together on tho sawdust there.
The alert animal watched him liko a cat,
and no sooner was tho handkerchief on
the ground than ho trotted to it, picked
it up, and shook it nutil the apple be
came disengaged from its folds.
"Horses are tnuglit to fire pistols in
precisely tho same way. An apple is
fastened to tho end of a line nttnolied to
a pistol's trigger. Tho animal tugs at
the line to get tho apple, and flroH tho
charge. In the oourse of timo tho apple
is discontinued; but tugging at tho line
has become second nature with the
horse, and lie pulls it as a matter of
course."
AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
tenernblr Mint wl»o (Jnn lo New
Non Hurried.
When a man is first called "pa," by a
little one thnt ho hns a half interest in,
says Pock, of the Milwaukee Sun, he
puts his thumlm in his vest, smiles a
two for-a-qunrter smile, nnd thinks ho is
smart. He wonders if ever a man as
young and green-looking ns lio is was
called "pa" liefore, and ho puts on style,
nnd thinkB that he in a thoroughbred.
( But twonty years later, when the nforo-
said iufimt, grown to a great strapping
fellow, big enough to tako his "pa,”
down at a wrestle "square-hold,” stands
before a minister and promises to love,
honor nnd olwy a girl for all that is out,
and the girl turns and calls tluf old gen
tleman “pa" thou tho smnrty of twenty
yours ago begins to think that ho is get
ting old euough to turn out to grass
and he looks at himself iu tho mirror and
BuyH, "Thoso aro gray hnirs, sure
enough, and the clearing on that head
indicates baldness that is not premature."
1 suppose a man who has eighteen or
nineteen sons getting married along at
intervals, gets used to it, and does not
notice it so much, but my experience is
that the first, timo a man has a son mar
ried it makes him feel about niuety
years old, with his tooth gone. Well,
tho big kid is married, nnd may Uod
bless him and tho littlo girl lie has
chosen, and may thoy live happily to soe
littlo ones grow up nrouud them—Oh,
gosh, I can't write it. I can stand it to
tie called "pa" by alt tho children in tho
wide world, but that "grand” word, q
seems to mo would make mo feel liko a
veteran of 1812. The little seven-yoar-
old kid of the family wanted to get mnr-
| lied, too, but lie was talked out of it,
I after a while. Ho thought ho ought to
have as good a show in the necessaries
of life as his big brother, but finally
compromised on having the mumps.
Mumps are bad enough at home, when j
one can do his howling at his family, but
to have mumps in n great Now York
hotel, where everybody wonders why
you didn’t wait till yon got homo to
have them, is a bad scheme, but tho
little boss has promised that it shall not
occur again.
Vf.ry Best.—An old man who owns
two or threo dozen houses that are rented
was asked by ono of his sons why ho
didn’t invest his money iu somo business
so his heirs could earn a living by work
when lie died. The old man said, “That’s
what I keep these houses for, to make
you earn a living. If you don’t find
you get exercise enough collecting this
rent, nnd have ell the business you want,
then I am mistaken.” Tho boy thought
maybe the old gentleman waa more than
half right.

It said:
"The pickles contained a much larger

tho idea thnt copper can be removed
from pickles by soaking them in water

When moro than one part in 100,000

some discussion the witness said she
would tell the truth in three words, and
