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.

If oak lands grow plentiful the fol.ow-

mallost nnd shortest of sleeves not

iloso to the arms , not pulled or sot into a

down to us by artists and writers when
Venice wns in its glorynnd as repro
duced on the stage at a recent oporn , was
very splendid. Slooyos were double ,
eng , clasp , and flowing ; bodices were
lointod , richly embroidered with gold or
irecious stones , and finished at the nock
vith the fan-shaped collar of stltT-om-
jroidorcd laco. The robes were gorgeous

and the olaboratoly-trimmod hair was
often surmounted with small crown-

astonishing imbecility of a blind adhor-

of bono is as painful as the display of

"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 BATTIiK WITH THE liEASTS
; AND TUB SNAKES IN INDIA.
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. "
