"1'liiTo are two styles of saddle horses in use.
One is the horso fashiouablo in Kentucky,
whose cn;ts are the plaio walk, running

other is tho English style, thoroughly bitted
nnd in hand to walk, trot and canter only.

tho south find west do not consider n horse a
Fa.li!k' horse until he will guide by the neck;
that is an instructive idea. "Fe reins should
te in the left hand, so th;. the whip hand is
always free for any purposes. In riding with
tho Indies ou the road you should go ou the
J.idy' rTght hand, which will prevent run
ning against the lady or any accidental col
lision. The amateur rider does not know
what constitutes a saddle horse. The horse
mast have a good walk, good trot and good
canter, and go at any rate of speed."
HOW TO UOCNT A IIORSE.
ft is Interesting to notice the simple act of
mounting a horso. It Is Important to com
bine grace ?.th safety. Tho school or styl
ish custom is to stand with your back to the
head of the horse, with the reins in the left
d-md resting upon the pummel of the saddle,
your left loot in cue stirrup, men witn a
sw ing encompassing a half circle you rise
and settle in the saddle. The expert's method
of mounting is to stand facing the side of
the horse You put the left foot in tbo stir-
rup. reins iu the right hand and held taut;
resting on the opjKteite 6ide of the cantel or
back of the saddle, then with a vault you
will land easily in tho saddle. This is also
tiie most general custom, the only dil'erence
i. to hold the reins and mane both with the
left hamL All the while you have the ani
mal under control, and in this position there
is much less liability of accident from any
unexeUHj movement, shying or fright of
your horse by which the animal may bo made
to tick or get away from the rider.
There w another important and yet very
simile fact bttle known, after being
mounted, and that is the skill to start a
horse. The reins should be held gently, not
pulling, and there should be ail almost im
perceptible bending forward of tho body,
which, to a trained saddle horse, is far better
understo-id and more readily responded to
than talking or ducking The swinging of

A Writer of Advertisements.
One would probubly imagine that those
uniijue and racy advertisements which begin
with some startling adventure or scientific
treatise and other interesting subjects, but
invariably wind up with a glowing exjiatia
tion on the wonderful merits of some iwitent
nostrum, are easily written and thrown off
at hot hasto by u ready writer. Uut they
are only another instance of w here it requires
diflicult study on the jiart of tho writer to
produce easy reading. 1 was engaged at a
good salary to w rite that kind of articles
alout a certain kind of atent medicine, but
at tho end of two years I resigned. If I had
not, 1 would have gone insane. 1 was re
quired to write from ten to twelve different
articles, each one not less than k quarter of a
column, every day for various newspaiers.
For aw hile everything went along smoothly.
ami 1 threw off tho "ads" from my pen as
only the fancies of an idle moment; but
gradually the work grew more irksome aud
eventually it became really intolerable.
1 had the whole field of scieuce, travel.
biography, and, in fact, all departments of
literature to draw from and increuiouslv
weave into the articles the "ad" for the
patent nostrum. After that 1 would take a
walk through the streets the same as
a newspaper reporter on his rounds and
pick up any incidents to be worked over.
This did not throw much variety into the
work, however, because each article had to
wind up with the invariable medicine "ad."
Tho monotony liecam'o exceedingly painfuL
Tho constant thought on one topic, and the
strain of study in evolving puzzling methods
for utilizing fact3 and information for tho
subject, produced brain fever. The one
wearing, monotonous thought of the medi
cine "ad" had burned itself into my very be
ing and haunted me like a nightmara My
brain had had no opportunity for tho recrea
tion, elasticity and fascinating pleasure
found in the varied, stimulative work of a
newspaper writer, and nature revolted at the
monotonous treatment it bad received.

The Number of Well Authenticated Cases

To be burled while only apparently dead
and to come bac to life in m coffin four feet

and the fear of people to meet this terrible
fate has at all times been proportionately

irue. we cannot absolutely deny such oc-

but the number of well authenticated cases
is really so small that we must look upon
them as a thing extremely rare. In fact, it
would be safer to take the risk of meeting

for only one hour In the face of these facts
we would naturally put the question
Why is it that such cases are reported or
believed to have taken place so often f
The answer to this is easy People who do
not know the wonderful working or the sys
tem are liable to misinterpret certain rare
and abuormal manifestations. They do not
remember that every rule has its exceptions,
even as applied to the human organism, in
short, they do not fully understand the nat
ure of death and beiu-e will sometimes con
found it with life. We will be a little less
abstract to illustrate. We often hear the
remark: "I don't believe such and such a
;erson is dead. Just rememljer how red his
cheeks were, even up to tho day of his
buriaL" True, the characteristic a ppearance
of the dead is thut waxy and pale aspect
known to everybody However, the mero
manner of dying may determine an excep
tion to this rule. tSo the face presents a
bluish coloration, where death has beeu the
result of a disturbance in tho func tions of

cases of hanging, drowning, suffocation, coal

Southern lintels in War Times.
While in Vicksburg after tho siege I was
afforded a fair trial of southern hotels as they
existed in war times, and must confess that
my cxpericuce in this connection was far
from being a pleasant one. The floors nnd
hallways of the hotels were generally un
swept and unwashed, while, doubtless owing
to the presence of our army, the servants
suddenly became wholly unmanageable and
consequently were few ia number. 4s a rule
the rooms were occupied by soldiois, some
being sick, others with neglected wounds and
quite a number who were shamming sick
ness. As a result, and in the absence of any
sanitary rules, the rooms were in a sad plight
as to cleanliness, while a disgusting odor per
vaded the entire building.
It was wholly useless to seek for a separate
apartment, and after registering one was
assigned to a poriiqu of a room and ttsp
whole or a part of a bsd by paying $10. A
single nigbts lodging cost ?', w hich entitled
cue to a lodging ticket and meal ticiu.
Arriving at your room, the servant, bowing
obsequiously, usually upoiogized for the lack
of everything needed for comfort by saying:
"Best in do house, sah, 'clar it am. solyahs
d?ne stole e.bbery debblish ting 'bout de place;
'deed dey did. sah."
Kotovrci, t:o soap, no bowl, no pitcher, no

OTllElt EXCEPTIONS.
A still more striking, but also rare excep
tion, occurs in people with habitually red
faces. In their case a bright arterial hue
may remain up to the time of burial

sense. People also believe that a haud held
up against a light denotes life as long as tbo
margin shows a reddish, semi transparent

does not hold true in people dead with
dropsy. Here the transparency will be pre-

formerly employed by medical men as in-

lauioie nas spreaa among tne public. It is
known that tho application of mustard to
the skin causes redness and blisters in the
living body. We can therefore always cou
elude as to the persistence of life whenever
such an application reacts. Unfortunately,
however, the plaster might not show any re

cases of extreme intoxication by means of
narcotics, such as morphine. The fact that
pricking of the skin is followed by the cp

a proof for the existence of lifa Now,
everybody knows that such is possible also
some limited time after death, although the
manner of appearing and the shape and
color of the drop differ from that drawn
from a living body The peculiar signs men
tioned at the beginning of this article, and
usually considered so conclusive, also Gud
more natural explanations than tho absurd
theory of apparent death.
A body may change its original position
while being lowered into the grave. Biting
in the fingers and scratches in the faoe may
be due to rats infesting the grave j-ards;
noises referred to a coffin are usually the re
sult of an over excited imagination. In fact,
there is no sense more liable to deception
than audition, especially when we want to
hear. Everybody remembers, perhaps, how
often he thought he beard the train arrive
when anxiously waiting for it.
THRILLING STORIES.
There is, however, good reason to think
that many of these stories are manufactured
without the presence or observation even of
any of the above signs, it is only natural to
the human mind that, with their profound
exciting power, they should be in equal de
mand with tho over and again repeated
ghost and snake 6tories. It would be a pity
to leave them out from the list, when the
narrator cou enjoy the pleasure of seeing aa
eager audience fellow every motion of his
(most usually ben lips, and then, bow sub
lime to be looked upon as the wituess, or as
even a more interested party, of such a
thrilling experience! It is worth the sacrifice
of a little veracity I In fact, every careful
observer cannot fad to discover in the r.u
werous accounts r.uo variations or ouu orig
inal, true or fancied case to suit tho particu
lar taste of the author.
But there is one post-mortem occurrence
which, at least to the laity, might at first
seem incompatible with death. It is some
times observed that dead people will change
the position of certain parts. So it is SLen
that after life has escaped the mouth is open.
because the lower jaw, following fee laws of
gravity, bongs down drooping. In ' some
four to twelve hours the mouth may be found
closed. This Is due to the peculiar phenom
cnon known by the namerirror mortis, which.
being essentially a coagulation of the muscle
suosiaqce, results n contraction anq the
latter in movements. Of courses part would
always be moved In the direction of the
stronger muscles or the flexors. While these
movements go on gradually and are hardly
visible we witness occasionally sudden or
spasmodic movements. Thus a knee may
suddenly rise up in bending itself. An arm
may sweep through the air with r quick
motion op the muscles of the face may be
twitching. The purposeless and inco-ordi-nate
character makes these manifestations
appear so much more as expressions of dis
tress and helplessness as would be the case in
4 li sing par-son considered dad. After death
from cholera those occurrences are relatively
often observed. Cincinnati Cocomercial Gazette.
