TEACHINQ A HORSE TRICKS.
MoiiuiiiciiImI I'alleiica I Nfirdad to Make

It requires nn immense amount of
tlmo and patience to touch a horso
tho trick with which he astonishes
an audience. Take, for instance, the
finding of the hnndkerchiof, that bat
always surprised children since tho
first circus took the road.
First the horso must bo taught to
bite. To Co this the trainer tickled
the animal on the shoulder. It mado
no impression at all, apparently, for
nearly bulf an hour.
At lant the horse grow tired of it
and made a snap at the hand.
The hand was taken away and the
tickling began again an instant later.
Another map and another ticklo, un
til finally the horso realized that thore
was a method in all this seeming
madnoHB, und responded with a snap
directly tbe hand approached hit
shoulder.
Then a handkorchlof wat Intro
duced and more tlmo was consumed
before ho could got it through bit
head that he must tnko It into hit
mouth, more time Mill for him to un
derstand that ho must pick it up from
the ground nnd then camo tbe bury
ing of the handkorchlof and the find
ing it. which invariably awakont en
thusiasm.
Here the whip cornea Into play, but
never a an instrumoni oi torture.
Mr. Poekrill bollevei that nothing
was ever gained by striking a horso.
Tho whip it uned only a a pointer.
'1 hree or four mound of sand are
formed, and tho handkerchief ii buried
in one. Tho whip lead tho horse to
alt of them in succession, nnd remains
by the last ono, and so tho horso is
told that the handkorchlof la thore.
In the same way a horse 1 taught
to take a silver dollar and even allv
fish from a tub of water, but tbe time
required would break an ordinary
man' beurt
Practically everything 1 done by
touch. In this pretty stopping that
a horso does when a woman Is on hie
back every move 1 directed by the
rldor't heel on one aide, the gentle
touch of the whip oa the other, or both.
If hols to walk, raising hit feet
high la the air. the rider presses her
heel into hi tide and an attendant
raise ono of hi forefoot, urging
them forwatd at the sa ne time.
Thla la refloated time after time and
time aftor time until tho horso under
stand what Is wanted.
1'res a tiny boot ugainsr hit lido

one of hi fore-feet will go up at

of mechanism.
There It one good thing about a
horse he never forgets any thing,
and he it always looking for a reward,
If that reward partake of the charac
ter of tometbing good to oat Neither
will ho do wrong after ho hat once
learned that a certain act on hi part
in to bo followed by an unusual and
disagrocablo act on the part of his
mas tor.
While, of course, Mr. Doekrlll'i es
timate of a homo's intelligence It ox
aggeratod, there it no question that
be can bo taught a wonderful lot of
tricks, but tho man not possesAod of
patience outshining Job's would do
well not to tnko tho contract to be.

A man in Leeds, Kngland, looked a
gift horse in the mouth tho other duy,
with profltablo result. Tho keeper
of a skating rink had advertised a
great fancy costumo carnival," and by
way of stimulating the Invention of
hit patront ho promised that the
wearer of tho most original costume
shou a be rewarded with a watch of
the value of ninety dollars. The man
who won the watch took It to a jow
eler, who said the tlmo-ploce was
worth only twenty dollars. Tbe win
ner, therefore, applied to the courts
lor redrens. Tho skating rink pro.
prlotor dofonded himself with tho
plea that tho giving of tho price was
a purely voluntary act and the
recipient should not take the glver'i
estimate too literally. The Judge,
however, took a dilTorent view, and
gave judgment for the plaintiff for
ninety dollars.

about 12 the head brukomnn took the

of red lights on the tall end of a ca

of us had broken tn two, and we
caught tho hind ond in a cut The
