The merry little mountain brook , as it lightly dances over the rocks and sparkles in the sunshine on its way down to the river , is pure and ( clean. It is active ; therefore , it is wealthy. It is vigorous ; therefore , it resists impurity. But the sluggish pool , where the current is noOstnong enough to keep the water in motion , is stagnant and foul. Dirt and rubbish arc thrown Into it , and stay there. Impurities mid vile odors make it a breeder of disease nnd an object to be avoided. When the blood is strong and rich and red , nnd vigorously courses its accustomed rounds througu arteries and veins , the system is liearty and healthy. When the blood is thin and poor and weak , impurities and defilements creep into it , and it has no strength ( o cast them out. Then the system runs down.

The robes were gorgeous u color , of the richcstvplvot and brocade , and the olaboratoly-trimmod hair was often surmounted with small crown- shaped Iioad-drcsscB of velvet , incrusted with jowola , Contrast this magnificence with the dullness and sameness of rows of nocks and arms to bo soon at operas , lot remarkable for beauty , whitened into liveliness and only alternating in the dif ferent degrees of plump and scraggy.

The Way in Which EiucntrlcnneH are Trained lur Their UuglncHH ilurd Work mill Ijlttlo Fun. From the New York Nows. "Tho work of the loading equestrienne s ono of the most laborious in the whole range of tlio circus profession. It re quires physical courage of the highest order , combined with , great powers of niduranco and a capacity for adapting ino's self to a constant change of scene md surrounding. People who witness , ho brilliant performances in the ring , in an atmosphere laden with light and nusic , little dream of the wearisome toil and drudgery which precede them. " The speaker wns a fair-haired English ady , who came to this country from Lon don to fill an engagement as leading equestrienne in a circus. "Tho training necessary to success in tquostrian performances , continued slip , "is monotonous tn the extreme , nnd in sonio parts very dangerous. None but ; hose in nigged health over withstand it , and no ono without a perfect physical organization should undertake it. The > rdinary exorcises of the ridingschool are .rifles as compared with the tasks of ) rofpssioiial training. No woman , unless slip is possessed of extraordinary natural skill , ought to appear in the ring before an audience until she has graduated from a riding-school , and then practised in the ing four or five hours every day for nt east six months. These six months will > o a period of torture and weariness to lor , but she must undergo thorn 9r run ho risk of almost certain failure and lumiliation upon her first appearance in niblio. "Tho best equestrian instructor in Eu- , opo in fact the only ono of established 'oputationis ' M.Salmonsky of Berlin. Ho s ono of the greatest horsemen in the world , and his great circus includes some of the finest Htook on the Continent. Ho aw mo first in London , my native place , many years ago , when I wife performing with my brothers and sisters in Henley's logout Street circus , and offered to take no with him to Berlin and complete my raining. I accepted , and entered his ircun af , the Gorman capital , whore I re- oivod the most careful instruction ho could ( 'ivo mo. "Salmonsky would send mo into the ing with his most spirited horses every lay , and stand by to direct my exorcises. Sometimes I thought I should never sur- ivo the terrible discipline , and often hought I should go back to London and content myself with being a second-rate idor , but the kindness of my good old nstrnctor softened the innumerable mmps and bruises I received , and at last triumphed. Emperor William and the crown prince attended the circus the light I made my debut , and compliment ed mo formally nnd potsonnlly from their IX. " "M. Salmonsky's course of training is very rigid , and that accounts for its thor oughness. The pupil must surrender wholly to the instructor , nnd become very nuch ns n ball of wax in his hands. At .ho outset , however , the scholar must ob- nin complete mastery of her horses. or give up her ambition and abandon the irofossion , She will never succeed so eng as she is afraid cither of herself or lor horsoi. "Aa I said before , no ono unacquainted , yith the dangerous preparatory instruc- .ion of an cqucstironno has any proper ! stimatn of the toil and weariness which lor performance represents. One never knows the boundless capacity of the liuinnn frame for mins und aches until ono has gene into training for cir cus-riding. Wlmt with unruly horses , uncomfortable saddles , and the violent exorcise involved , II vo or six hours of practice ovi ry day for months is certain to do one of two things it either kills the pupil or brings her up to tlio perfec tion of physical womanhood. The hours of practice adopted by M. Salmonsky were in the forenoon generally from rJ to 12 , with , perhaps , another hour or two in the evening. To withstand this course ono must dress loosely and bucomo o devotee to plain living and the laws ol hygiene. Any neglect of these princl plea , or any great loss of sloop , usually result in broken health and professiona failure.

The Tigers ami Own , clrjrraph. The advantage is'as yet on the side of ; ho boasts. Taking the returns of seven /oars , wo find that man has killed about 11-10,000 wild beasts tigurs , bears , leop ards , wolves , hyenas , and others or nbout 20,000 annually. During tlio same icriods the boasts have destroyed 28,000 luman beings , or about 4,000 a year. Taking the respective rates of the ro- irpductipn of species human and feral , t is obvious that there is very little to choose between the two lists of casualties , and that the boasts will make good the deficiencies in their numbers as quickly as , if not sooner than the human beings. 3n the aide of the tigers and their :1- ics has to bo added the advantage gained of having killed during the same seven roars an annual average of 45,000 head of cattle , or a total of IMO.OOO , and in- lictod further a monetary expenditure upon the government of ' 10,000 a year. The balance , therefore , oughly stated , stands thus ono human joingfi'ith eleven head of cattle and hroo pounds in cash , for every iivo wild jcasts. In the great fight with the snakes , the advantage , numerically , is mmonsoly in favor of humanity , for , wlii'o the reptiles killed about eighteen houaand human beings every year , and ibout three thousand cattle , they lost of , heir own numbers nearly two hundred housand annually. Hero again , however - over , the question of reproduction ought o bo considered , and it will bo soon that ho outcome of the conflict is really very evenly balanced , for n given number of snakes will add two hundred thousand , o their numbers in a far shorter time naii the same number of human beings will add oightcon thousand. So that as , ho question of extermination stands in ndia to-day , it seems just as probable .hat . men and their domestic cattle will 10 extinct before the wild boasts nnd venomous snakes. In alliance these , wo orders of deadly creatures are rory formidable , for the multiplication of luman population makes no difference to ho snakes , except that the number of heir victims increases , while the spread if cultivation gives the boasts of prey a vidor field for reprisals. Every aero > rouglit under the plow , is a protest against the savage aboriginal lifo of the quadrupeds , but for every aero under the > low , there must bo brought several icrcs under pasturage. Hero the man gives , in each head of cattle which ho nits upon his fields , a hostage to the old prda of the manor. They exact their : ithes , too , these fierce barons of the woodland , with no considerate hand ; and : or the sake of a single meal oil a wretch ed pair of plow oxon a tigpr and his mate will throw out of cultivation twenty acres of arableland. . In ono district gome lifty square miles of estate have , ! iU3 boon reclaimed by the original land- ords. They ate up the villager's plow cattle , and now and then a vilagor also , md the result wns that'.tho fields of the district lapsed to them by default of other occupancy , and became the same comfortable , quiet jungle that : hey had known it to bo in the past. The further , therefore , the man pushes his liords and Hocks and the further lip goes limsolf the more ho sots himself in thu wrong with the hoioditary lords of the soil. Ho drives away the wild things , * the villains , " upon which , in the feudal days of the boasts , the nobles used to focd , and thrusts under the nose of the starving aristocracy a class of animal , the domesticated beef , which is more gener ous eating and not nearly so nimble as the antelopes that used to graze on the sauio pastures. What wonder , then , that the Rajahs of the jungle should loungo'out from their leafy palucea and help themselves to the clumsy , foolish- mannered , horned things that they find at their very doors , or that they should oat the poor , frightened , helpless man 01 woman whom they discover cowering be hind the bushes or trying to hide umoiif the grain-crops ) Cattle and human beings ings alike are thcio ns hostages , und i num will persist in trusting to the generosity osity or chivalry of beasts of prey , thoj must pay the puce ot their misplacci uontidonco. Such ravages , however , nro no doubt , to bo mot by force , nnd over ; year the government of India ontprtaiin fresh intentions of taking thu iiuld it earnest against iho carnivora. Kverj year , however , passes with just the BIHIU toll upon the lives of men and thei : animals , nnd the same display of impotence tonco upon the part of tho. "lords o creation/ ' For , as a matter of fact , tlio loss of liurnnn-lifo in nearly every district in India is larger in the last of the ovcn yoarswhich wo have had under roTiow than in the first. Against the snakes there is an annu ally increasing bitterness , and if it were not , that Asiatics are Asiatics , such n wholesale slaughter of these deadly reptiles - tiles might bo accomplished ni would thin their numbers very rapidly and in cartain districts probably exterminate them. Yet unfortunately the Hiiulo per sists jn building huts without windows and in keeping his firewood nnd domestic chatties itUho darkest corner of his hut , nnd in going with bare foot and hands and without a light of any kind to fetch them when ho needs them. The result is that ho disturbs a snake , and when the doctor comes to see the corpse ho finds either nn the fingers or the tees the tiny loubln punoturo which is the cobra's or korait's broad arrow of death. To com bat the snake successfully there is needed u the first place daylight , and in the next shoo-loathor. Tlicso reptiles are noc turnal , and against boots nro power- ess. The result is that during ill the time Europeans have been in India there have been few cases of snako-bito among them. When a Euro- [ icnn meets a snake ho kills it ; but when n snake meats a native , it kills him. The former lives in a well-lighted house , and wears clothing all over his body , and against this double advantage the snake , the most easily killed or crippled of all created creatures , has no chance. The native , however , goes groping with bare limbs in the corners of his pitch-dark rooms , and the result is death , swift , painful , and inevitable. Another point of contrast that illustrates the fortunate immunity of Europeans is that their louses are raised above the ground , and hat the suako though it may make the complete circuit of the walls , discovers no moans of ingress except the bath-room water-pipo , and this it always finds cov ered by perforated zinc for the Tory pur pose of preventing snakes from coming into houses. Tlio native hut , on the other hand , is on the level of the ground , nnd the greater part of the | [ front is a "doorway , " protected only by hanging nets and loosely made hurdles of straw or grasses. The snake , therefore , in commoded , it may bo , by the rain , which has inundated its hole , sallies forth to find dry qunrtors , and has only to travel along the wall of the first hut to find an easy passage open for it , and a comforta ble corner to occupy For snakes do not go into houses with malignant inten tion. They nro most anxious to keep out of sight and of mon's way ; but when the rcptilo lias made itself at homo under a niat or behind n handful of firewood , and any ono rudely distubs it the terrified creature strikes in self-defense. Against the venomous snakes , then , precautions are easily possible , though they involve a very serious revolution in Indian manners and customs and really ought for elliciou cy , to bo preceded by alterations in arclu- : octuro and personal apparel , and a more general use of windows and window-glass.

That lightning killed his soil is the be- icf of a farmer in Newton , 111. Ho writes : "This summer , when my corn rrns two foot high , the lightning struck it , milling a patch about 100 square foot in extent. It seemed to have killed the ground , ns neither wpcd nor spear of ; rass has grown on it since. The ground looks dead , and I believe it is. Occa- sionaly these spots are met with all over the prairies. The people account for thorn as buffalo tramps , where buffaloes congregated in fly time , and tramped un til they killed the soil , but from the xbovo occurrence 1 account for thorn as liaving boon struck by lightning.
