T1J.F DAILY HERALD: ILATTSMOuTII, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1888. OF A JOCKEY. ONL MUST " SUCCESSFUL DO TO RIDER. BE A Kx-ltMii-iit of Winning m llace X rMitjr of Careful Habit A Cool Hand anil dood Jmltmnt A Certain Knack. Sxlillaratlon. Tlio life of a profesbional jockey is full of the wildest ami mosB unrestrained excite . incut. I dot4t if its parallel can be found In any other vocation. Watch even the f-usuni Bjxwtator of a horso race as ho hits on . tho grand stand calmly viewing the start, . and tn seo him as the horses speed around . the track, the on looker ljocoines interested more and mora until, by tho time tho winner La- crossed the line, he is btunding in his chair, madly waving hi.- arms and cheering until his breath is gone. That is tho way u chely contested race nAVcls even a passive sjoctntor. To what feverish excitement then Is tho jockey him self subjected, who, next to the good mount tinder his saddle, is the most active partici pant in tho contest f Yet amid it all tho riih 'nust le as cool and clear-headed as if he .cre simply taking a constitutional morning canter on his father's favorite inaro. CAiiErrt. IV HABITS. In order to le sucet-ssful as a jockey one . must necessarily lx careful in his habits, and must tte in what wo might call partial train ing all the time. There Is no necessity for the rigorous diet and almtcmiousness which is considered essential to thosi who engage in athletic sports, but the most extreme care is absolutely necessary, that tho weight may lie kept down to the projer figure, and for that reason all food which has a tendency to incrcaso flesh must ls avoided. For my own part I may say that I have always lecn temperate in my habits. I use tobacco to a small extent, but eat almost any thing to which I take a fancy, although boiiio times I am obliged to iy the icnalty. It is iny purjiose always to keep myself down to atout 11;J !ounds in weight. The lowest weight I have over attained was 107 pounds, nud the highest ISO jouuds, so, to reduco myself to 1 ho right avoirdupois, I was once 'orced to Wnock off just eighteen iounds of iupei fluous flesh, ami it Wis no easy under taking. ' When I find myself accumulating weight t.vi rapidly 1 liegin to take long walks, wear ing sweaters and the heaviest winter cloth ing, which is not esccial!y enjoyable in hot rummer weather. A walk of from eight to ten miles, dres.-d in the condition described, will usually dispose of from one to two pounds of extra tlesh. These walks are in dulged in only when the necessity requires, ami are by no means of daily occurrence, for which fain duly thankful. Tho one all important requisite for a suc cessful jockey is to keep a cool head and to jiossess an unerring judgment, for if he loses one and fails of having tho other at a critical moment, he will never overcome tho many obstacles that meet him with every turn of the track, and never win a raco unless ho is mounted upon a horse that will carry him through in spite of himself. Thero is ns much strategy and finesse to be exercised on f ho race course as on tho battlefield. One luust know his enemy thoroughly, and must be alive to take instant advantage of any errors his opponents may make. Ho must endeavor to make his rivals use up all their strength before tho critical moment comes, end must reserve for himself su'Ikient force to carry him safely through the final f-.Jfnggles. . A KXACK OF RICIXO. But above all, he should lo very intimately acquainted with tho capabilities of his own horse, and must lo thoroughly conversant rMi ail its points of weakifess, as well cs its dements of strength, for the former may often bs taktn advantage of if they are not known to his opponents. There is a certain knack of riding which it is difficult to ex plain, but which has a substantial existence just tho same, that enables one to almost lift his horse along, especially in passing under the wire, when a fortunate leap will carry vou to tho front by even a nose. Many a lucky win of mine has been inado intuit way, noticeably in the recent raco where Tea Tray and Tristan were at tho foro, and Tristan won by so small a fraction that it is said that no one on the track saw the true result, excepting tho judges. In that race 'which was one of the most exciting in which I have ever been engaged, I was able to lift Tristan almost by main strength, when I felt that I had surely lost, just enough to win. The sensations which a jockey experiences i:i speeding around the track are many and varied, and there is always tho utmost e.r hilaratiorf mind, and every inuscle of his body is drawn to a tension approaching the breaking ioiut. lie has little time to view f the lanL2ipe within the inclosure, or to see the mad crowd tbat is cheering him on from the grand stand, or at the fences close by the track, even if his eyes are not blinded by the showers of tr.ud or the cloud of dust with which tho enemy in front delight to greet him. Dut he knows instinctively that the landscape and the crowd are there, and he hears the cheers of the mob faintly above the clattering of the horses' hoofs. Theso are quiet and subdued sounds at the start, which are completely lot the moment the first turn is made, and then they cease altogether until the homestretch is gained, wLuii the noise jjrows gradually loader, but seldom becomes . ovk-xi Kie,l one for the joekev's cars. It is whe-i the race is over and tho victory is won that the jockey remembers all he has parsed throu;l. Tho nervous exhaustion occasioned lur a record brcakinz mile is excessive, but a blith and rub down soon puts the jockey in Lealtbr trim for the next race. William II vy ward in Inter Ocean. "VThen Annoyed by Musqulloe. From country places ail around New York i hear a wail of agony ancnt the ferocious xuusquito, which this summer seems to have broken his record lor Irequency ana viru lence of executive ability. It seems that the riirrntic vaxaries of this uncomfort able summerTaavo just suited tho musquito's peculiar fancy. Anyhow he is out in force, and the discoverer of a preparation which wiil prevent his attacking hands, face or v ankles is sure of an abiding reward botn now and in the hereafter. My own experience teaches me that the nearest approach to this desirable compound is extract of penny royal, which should be plentifully smeared oi all exposed portions of the person. The oc-or is not unpleasant, and as the extract consists largely of alcohol, evaporation is sneedv and a pleasant coolness results. While the odor is apparent no mosquito will nut his proboscis in working distance. To relieve the itching of bites nothing is more Tactual than common washing soda, moist--1 and rubbed on the spot.

What a Lady l'rinclpal Thinks of "Cram- mine" Methods In Our Schools. A lady, who is princiial of one of the largest and finest of cur public schools, and vhse mental and physical qualifications are far above the average, said: "Am I glad the examinations are over? Glad? Why, it is like letting one out or prison like lifting a ton's weight from mo. It is to mo a terrible ordeal. Theso examinations of the school are really examinations of mo. My pupils' standing is my standing. I am judged by it. Sometimes when I think that nil are well pre pared some of them may fail me. I worry and fret (to myself and within myself) more than any ono knows. 1 lalor and strain some times it is almost agony to prepare them. I heartily denounce the forcing, cramming process. It is wicked and wrong and un reasonable, and very often defeats it-self. I cannot help what I have to do, and to go through theso examinations theso children must be forced and strained. I can see plainly, and so cau any intelligent jerson, that tho children suffer in health and in mind. It is cruel, it is unjust, it i3 very un profitable. 'Many I say many, and I know what I say and mean it very mauy childreti memorize lessons and can rcjieat them Iiko a !arrot; they tug, struggle, push and pass their examinations 6imply lecaus they are shoved or hoisted through by machine like methods. They can glibly repeat many things that they 6tudy, of tho sense and prac tical application of which they are utterly ignorant. Girls, of course, are naturally more prone to spells of exhaustion and faint ing, but tho frequency of such instances is not an ordinary but extraordinary feature. I have instauces in mind of girls who, realiz ing that they had but a short period to go to school, and because of tho overty of their parents they must soon begin to earn then bread, with commendable ambition and dili gence labored w ith all their might to advance as fast as possible; labored harder than some others who learn! easier; labored beyond their strength until they were stricken down from sheer brain and body exhaustion. One of theso I had cautioned repeatedly, and oven urged her to take a rest for awhile. 'rihe was near graduation, and ft It that unless sho could pass examinations then she would never havo another chance. Sho studied hard and learned slowly and with dillieulty, but was persistent and determined. She was an unusually aunable, sweet teia pered, quiet girl, whom everj-body loved. I had noticed her growing pah and thin, and knew that she was straining all of her mental and physical powers in the contest for suc cess. Ono day, in tho class room during re citation, the book slipped from her hands, sho pressed her fingers againsL her temples, and exclaiming in a mournful voice that I shall never forget; Oh, Miss -, my head, my headl' sank down in a faint. Sho was taken home and brain fever set in, and on tho very day of the closing exercises of that term sho was buried. Sko was undoubtedly the victim of brain overwork. This was an ex treme case, but 1 assure you that I have seen many instances of girls injured for life from the same cause." New York Star. Career of a Janseuse. "I began my dancing career nt t he age o 7 as ono of the pupils, or 'rats,' as they are called, and went on laboring until I was 10. At this age the primary education of an 'out' iu pi 1 is generally terminated, tho neophj-te being then sufficiently advanced to go up for examination. "At this stage the 'rats' venture on the quadrilles, but have to pass through another examination for the new grade. Even when fuirly launched, aspirants have still to prac tice two hours at homo daily. Iu addition to this como the rehearsals, the work done be fore the public, tho morning lessons, etc. "What pay do we get at the Paris opera for such hard work? The tariff varies with the grade of the dancer. ' The out' pupils, or rats,' are paid at the rate of forty cents for each appearance; the demoiselles de quad rille, to HO a month; the coryphee -20 to eOO; the sujets, $G0 tqj120; th Mincers in the first rank. $T30 o oUU; and the 'stars,' fj,WJ L'j ?u,uw t) j ear. "Advancement comes very slowly. It h considered a rezib thing to move up as I dii from tho second to the first quadrille. The next step upward is to the envied position of premiere coryphee, possessing the superb emoluments of fT'-iO a yea:-. Finally, after years and years of patient study, the dancing girl attains the summit of her ambition, and rises into a petit sujet, which gives her an individuality before tho footlights. It took me fit6eu years to reach this giddy height of glory and pay, the latter being 1,000 per annum. "Stars seldom rise from the ranks. The Elssiers and Taglionis form a class apart. "Some of the women who appear today in spectacular pieces are 43 and 51 years of age. Such women oro retained solely by reason of the excellence of their proportions. Tho brawny or tho otherwise objectionablo fig urant is nearly always some new corner not yet developed or broken." Paris Cor. Phila delphia Press. Tood for Xervous Patients. Dr. Clouston in tho annual report of the Edinburgh Royal asylum answers tho query of Henry U. Johnson, of St. Louis, as to th9 uj of milk aud eggs in tho cases of nervou3 patients. Ho gives to such patients as many as a dozen eggs, and as much as six or seven pints of milk n day. When this form of treatment is associated with plenty of walk ing exercise in the pen ftir, a great increase of weight often takes place. "Tho greater my experienca becomes," writes Dr. Clous ton, "I tend mora to substitute milk for stL-uulaiits. I don't undervalue tho latter in suitable cases; but in the very acuto cases, both iu depression and maniacal exaltation, where the disordered workiug of tbo brain tends rapidly to exhaust the strength, I rely mors and more on milk and eggs made into liquid custards. One such case this year got eight pints of milk and sixteen eggs every day for three months, and under this treat ment recovered. I quc-sUoa whether he would have done so under any other. "He was almost dead on admission, actually delirious, absolutely sleepless.and very nearly pulseless. It wa3 a hand to hand fight be tween the acute disease in his brain and his general vitality. If bis stomach could not have digested and hi3 body assimilated enough suitable nourishment, or If he could not havo been tiken out freely into the open air, ho must have died.

To my assist ants, cad nurses, and. patients 1 preach the gospel of fatness as tha great antidote to tha exhausting tendencies cf tho disease we have to treat, aud it would be well if all peopls of nervous constitution would obey tliis gospel."

Moral Courage of the True I'hyslciau A Hero Men Who Know Themselves The Good Hearted Fellow Who "WU1 Give His iJMt Dollar." A somewhat extended exerience with men, and an occasional woman, convinces mo that there is as great a difference in tho methods of good men who desire to help their fellows as there is between them and lail men who strive constantly to hurt their brothers and sisters. Every mini has his own way. It is folly for writers in the press, for ministers in the pulpit, for public teach ers in any forum whatever, to insist upon.it that their way is the only way. Effective work is done by upright engines, by hori zontal engines, by oscillating engines. It is by tho quality and quantity of elTeot pro duced, not the manner in which the work is done, men must bo judged. I look at doctors with wonder and awe. In my judgment a doctor needs, first of all, moral courage. It requires no very great degree of physieial courage to stand before a man whose inflamed eye betokens tho rage i-hat roars within him, localise, being a man, you naturally have no fear for another man physically. Tho fcsuo of the fight must be one of two wa3-s. You whip him or he whips you, and, of course, you are prepared to take tho chance. But to go into a sick room, where, in tho first place, your senses aro of fended, you see unpleasant pictures, you hear discordiint sounds, above all you detect of fensive odors, 3'ou aro brought in contract with a condition of things abnormal, from which you naturally turn as from any other nuisance that required moral courage. That of itself would determine me. I could no more endure tho close confinements of a sick chamber, with ' its necessary annoyance to every sense, and most esjeoially to tho sensi tive nerves of the nasal organ, than I could draw a weight of 10,000 pounds along a dusty highway. But that is not ulL Bo it smallpox, diph theritic sore throat, yellow fever, any one of a seoro of contagious diseases, the doctor must bo so dauntless in tho altitudes of his moral courago that ho not only feels no fear, but is absolutely regnant with joy at an op portunity to wrestle with a foeman worthy of his pills. A true physician is a veritable hero. 1 have como to tho conclusion that intelli gent men do know themselves. What folly it is to imagine for a moment that a well balanced ii)ind doesn't fully, accurately, ab solutely estimate himself. Could you con vince Bismarck, as ho sits iu the calm seclu sion of his innermost study, smoking the fra grant pipo of happy reflection, that he has not been a successful diplomat? You're a merchant. Continuity of en deavor has brought you, step by step, from the humility of an ollice sweeping $2 a week lad to tho proud pre-eminence of a merchant prineo, with an income, net, of $1,000,000 a year. Your credit stands regal in the marts of commerce, your namo is a synonym for solidity throughout the world of trado and dicker. Could anybody convince you that you aro a failure? Don't you know, as you look at your bald head and v-rinkled face and shriveled neck in the too faithful mirror that, though you are decaying physically, you are a superb success along the ine of mercantile endeavor aud. commercial enterprise? Of course, you know yourself. And pre cisely as you, a success, know yourself to hg a success, so you, a fizzle, know j-ourself to bo a fizzlo. Every man is a typo. Why it is a fact that wo are all, in certain lines, unique, peculiar, individual, it is eoiially a fact tLjt wo all represent gi-eat bc-dj of similarly organized, identically developed men or wy meii, ' here, there and every yl;e'5. tjonQ peopio say, -un. ne '3 a jjioa nearcoa ' iiiOW, ho will give UU last uoil-- '. y?J J'61, uuc is it a good heart tbat gives its last dollar, but would hesitate, even if he didn't refuse to give literal, personal, indi vidual, hand to hand, heart to heart, body to body comforts? Recurring to tho doctor thought a moment, I don't believe it would be a physical possibility for me, who have pretty good control of iny ph3"sical organs at that, to make a practice of visiting hospitals, of coming into personal contact with disease, of upsetting my stomach by annoying my nose. It is one thing to draw a check ami send it by mail or messenger; it is another thing to go about doing good, visiting the sick, helping tho friendless, uplif ting the be reaved, attending to the literal, physical necessities of poor, dirty devels in tho very gutters of humanity. Talk about giving money as an evidence of generosity. That's all nonsense. It all depends upon circumstances. What sort of generosity is it when you have $100 in your pocket aud somebody comes along asking you for five or ten, that you give it, without re gard to anything under heavens except the particular $100 you have in j-our pocket? That $100 may belong to some creditor. You may owe that money to some man to whom its payment would be a positive relief. You don't think of equities, you don't care the turn of j-our hand for your creditor; you let Browne walk all over creation i ather than doprive j-ourself of a moment's comfort, peaco, happiness, luxury; yet because you give five or ten dollars to souio poor devil who happens to want it, you are credited the world around as being a generous hearted, free handed man, who would give his last dollar to help a creature in distress. You buy a paper of a newsboy. You hand him a dime. Rather than be bothered to wait for the change, or to have his dirty littlj fists pawing over a handful of coin to find tho change, you say, "Oh, keep it. Never mind that." Why do you say it? Are you touched with pity for the boy's necessities? Is it the logical sequence of any careful thought, estimate, judgment of the little chap? Do you even go so far as to think that it would please the boy 1 Not a bit of it. It is, nine times out of ten, an inchoate desire, an unthought of impulse to be rid of the annoyance of the boy and the unpleas antness of his dirt; yet some benevolent old lady, looking over her spectacles and her stomach, seeing you let the little boy go off with five or six cents more than belong to him, smiles all over with cherubic gleam, and tells her family, whom sho joins in hum ble home that evening, about "the generous man w ho gave five cents to a little newsboy." Joe Howard's Letter in Boston Globe. II or Hour of Triumph. Dr. Mean well And how are you feeling today, Mi-s. Moribund? Mrs, Moribund Poorly, doctor, poorly.

The Une.Alonx VThlch Ha Works rer tile In "Schemes" Method. A late aspirant for honors iu tho news paper world is the "lonm writer." Ho enters a town, and with his quick eye and acute mindf readily comprehends the line along which ho must work. He is fertile in re sources, "schemes," he says. He talks with some of tho leading men, and expresses his surpriso that a town so happijy situuted, with so many natural advantages, has not become more widely known. There Is no earthly reason, he says, why Booraville should not lecome a metropolis. Thousands of people in tho crowded states along tho At lantic coast are searching the papers eagerly 'for a western town of promiso in which to invest their hoards of wealth. The money burns to be invested. All that is needed is to let these greedy eoplo know about Booui villo and its wonderful resources. Having interested his hearers, tho boom writer now makes a contract with tho pro prietor of tho daily Gossip or the weekly Tell Tale for a certain amount of spaco in each issue. Soon tho quiet, slow going citizen sees in his morning paper columns of burning, pro phetic words graphic pictures of Boom ville's prosperity and rich surroundings. He opens his eyes in amazement to think he has lived in Boomvillo so long and has never grasjied these startling trutlis. Alliteration runs mad in the columns of a paper which, but a few daj-s ago, was content to chronicle tbo local gossip of the unassuming town. Poetry, patriotism, figurative language, columns of figures are crowded in a con fused mass. The boom writer knows how to make figures lie. Enthusiasm is contagious. Tho e'tirs rf Boomville grow iitUsi'isLod. Ileal estate olli ces ojen hi every vacant room, and trades iu lots become tho chief business of the day. All theso are duly chronicled in the glowing words of the boom writer, who begins now to reap his harvest. He sells copies of each issue of tho paper in bundles of hundreds to tho enterprising citizens, who mail them to friends and acquaintances in older towns. A subscription list is made for the purpose sending over tho land theso graphic accounts of the now metropolis. The boom writer unfolds one scheme after another, as the ex citement increases, and his pocketbook grows corpulent. When his quick 03-6 sees that the enthusi asm begins to waver, tho boom writer re members that he is engaged to write up the next tosvn, and away ho goes gayly, leaving Boomville to sink slowly back into a quiet life, but not tho eamo life, for the boom writer has so aroused the faith of the Boom villians in the future prosperity of their city that 3-ears of dull times cannot wholly de stroy their confidence. C. L. Stonaker in The Writer. A Case of Monomania. The difficulty in distinguishing an insane from a sane man, particularly if it be $ v$e of monomania, is oftentimes vevy grSat, as the following incident rtill bow: A few years ago a physician vnose entire life, almost, and pi actico Lad been spent in an at mosphere of insanity, and who Is considered the best authority extant on such matters, called at the St. Louis insane asylum for the purpose of looking t hrough it, relying on a physician of his acquaintance who was lo cated there to show him about. Near the gate he met a gentleman who was very se date, courteous and intellectual. Of him he inquired of his friend, only to learn that he was absent at the time. Supposing his com panion to bo a medical attache of tho place, from certain terms and theories peculiar to tho medical f rateruit3 which the latter ad vanced, he engaged him in conversat'- Ihe man was very rational and delayed a thorough knowiedfoj t classics and of fcc-onco and ajt w tllj upon which he talked fttjjan an(j very entertainingly. Finally he volunteered to show tho visitov through the institution, and as he did so be made a minute diagnosis of each case which was presented. The visitor was charmed until suddenly interrupted by the appearance of the keeper and assistants, who unceremo niously seized his edifying conductor, man acled him and led him to a cell, despite his violent resistance. This would have been quite natural under tho crcumstauces with even a sano man, and the expert was unde ceived still, until Lis former entertainer shrieked back to him: "They're going to crown me emperor of Germany, and I scorn the crown! Save me, save me!" The ex pert's medical friend appeared on the scene a little later and congratulated tho vis itor on his narrow, escape, informing him, to his astonishment, that this was the most violent subject under their charge; that he had escaped his cell for the third time, and that in the forpier instances he had brutally beaten his keepei-s. This demonstrates the inability of even the most experienced judge to decide iufallibly as to the condition of a man's mind. Dr. Max Starklofl in Globe-Democrat. Trices Received by Authors.
