r-nlailch ,
"Formerly children were regularly op-
pronttced to learn riding juat aa they
were to learn ahoemaking or any other
trade , siid an old clicua manager to a
Philadelphia Times reporter , "but now
in many of our states there are laws pro
hibiting the employment < f minors under
15 yeurs of age in hazardous poiform
nnces , and these have had the effect if
doing away to a very great extent with
the thorough and systematic course of
training which children designed for
ridoro were formerly obliged to commence
when about 5 pears old , and which must
bo commenced at that early ago and
steadily pursued in order to attain the
hiuhest degree of artistic perfection.
Nearly all the great riders wo now have
began their career before the enactment
of thtae laws , and , conm quently , served
a thorough apprenticeship to their profes
sion , but when they ahull have pusoed
away who will fill their places ? There
will certainly bo no American riders who
can do so satisfactorily , and our public
will hare to look for its equestrian talent
across the water , whore no-culled aocieties
for the prevention of cruelty to children
are not so officious in securing the passage -
sago and enforcement of unjust and inju
dicious JawH.
"But comparatively thorough ns waa
once the training of riders in thia
country , it wua much less artistic and
complete than that practiced In Europe.
There , at 0 years old , the embryo rider is
first instructed in ballet dancing to no
quire grace and suppleness. Then , if a
boy , ho is taught tumbling that ii , how
to turn handsprings , BOiueraaults , etc ,
this portion of the training being omitted
in the caio of a girl , though otherwise
tier equeatiian education is precisely the
same us that of a boy ,
"If deaignod for a pad-rider , the com
ing equoatrlau is then placed on a pyl-
saddled horao or , if for a bareback nrtiat ,
upon a birobackod one , and the tuition
in riding proper begins. A person who
has learned pad riding can seldom be
come a good bareback rider , as changing
from the pad to the bare back is like be
ginning all over again , and the rider will
nearly bo found lacking in freedom , cane
and grace. The horses selected for
children to learn on are almost the moat
steady-going old crowbaits that can be
found amount the ring stock.
"Of course , it is necessary to adopt
some moHiia to prevent the child from
falling ofl and being injured. This waa
formerly done by moans of a long lunge
rein , ono end of which wan tautened to a
ring attached to the front of the pad or to
the aarclogleif the homo was barebacked ,
while the other end , nfier being passed
through another ring firmly fastened to
the child's ' belt , was held by the inatruo
tor landing in the center ot the rinfIf
the little rider showed any algn of falling ,
hia mauler's pull rn the lunp-reigh would
bring him safely down upon the horse's
back and hold him there till the horao
could bo stepped und the young eques
trian placed on his footaeain.
"Tnis device has now been sunorcedcd
by what is cllod the mechanic , which
which waa invented several years ago by
the well known old time performer and
manager , 8. Q. Stokes , It cnnaiata of a
long iron upright , which ia firmly fixed
in the center of the ring From the top
of thia upright there extends a hom-intnl
arm long f nough to reach over that part
of tlio ring where the horse travels. To
the outer end of the arm la attached a
block pulley , over which pauses a rope , of
which one und ia hooked into the bult of
iho child , while the other ia held in the
center of the ring by the instructor , BO
that he can raise ard lower hia pupil at
will , the arm of the mechanic being made
to go around 'ho ring by moatia of a
crank near the base of the right , which
can bo turned by an assistant or by the
master tilmanlf "

"Do circui porforuiera often live to n

Among these families niny ho meutionod
the lionizes , S mwclla , Cookcs , nnd

"IIow do you think performers of

The Farmd'H Hog.
Breedors' Journal ,
The diffurent broods of hogs have
their fast friends and no doubt they ouch
hiivo what their friends ndmira in them ,
but the average feeder who does not euro
to raiao piga to sell for breeding pur-
prises , should strive to got n hog that
will inako him the most money for t o
feed put into it. Jn the first place n hog
Hhpuld hnvo n good coat of huir ; not
bristles , but hair. A black hog will not
get scurvy on his bjck ; the aim will not
blister nun. A hog xhould IMVO n good
constitution , with r mud sprung rib and
good girth around the heart , abort neck
and hoftd well put on , short face nnd
nose , tail put on not way up on his back
iior yet too low down , hams round nnd
well fnlid not too fclugylah diap isition
nor yet too wild. By the purchase of
the right kind of a male pig the feeder
can raise just nuch pigs as ho wants to
feed , nnd have much more profitable nnd
healthy animals than ho can buy.
The brood BOWS cun bo run on olovor
pasture in aummor at very little expense ,
and If provided with some good clover
hay in winter it will reduce thbir feed
bills. Not enough attention is paid to
providing good pas'uros for pigt ; they are
generally kept in n buron lot with n generous -
erous ai/ed mudholo in it , in which the
water is so foul that just the einoll ot It is
sickening , lot alone having to drink it.
As for a change of pasture , it is never
thought of , on account of the trouble of
fencing it. The sensible way to provide
for thorn is to have enough land devoted
to their lisa so * the pigs can have a uood
a weet pasture of clover all the time. Do
not keep them on the same old poisoned
for ten years , but when the grass gets run
out , plow it arid take off a couple of
crops ; then ro need the clover , and then
let their hngships take fresh comfort ,
health and ft from the new fresh ground
and grass , Thi * ground will then supply
the living for the pign , whib in thu
ether way of doing the pig lot Is full of
woudu , bare of gra < i , und the bare
ground covered with mud und ho0' wal

ntrcnm , with ono lum fastened firmly
behind him , but in g > mg in wnter almost
us cold as ice , with his buckskin trousers
nnd shirt on to catch the amid nnd
threaten to pull him to the bottom. At
10 o'clock yesterday mon ing the during
fellow was in readiness , nnd his ndnurora ,
together with the girl of his choice , wore
on thp bank , just nbovo thu bridge , to
sue him start. It wns n thrilling and
pathetic sceuo. The young gallant gszod
up nnd down the cold , treacherous
stream , while the girl ki-yicd nnd snug
in n weird , mournful manner , n seemingly
plaintive love chnnt. It wna n no\el
and certainly interesting ncono. Every
thing was in rondini-sfi. The young In
dian with n graceful nnvo of the right
hand , and amid the encouraging shouts
of the ether reds , shook the hand of the
fair pmu for which he waa risking his
life , chopped off n little aboriginal music
in n sort of n good-byo-hello if l-dun't
gon-you-ngain ntr , nnd plunged into the
riv or. A yell thou wont up from thu
crowd of npi'ctntnra which caused the cv
pillnry integument of the roptirtorinl cra
nium to start zentthward nt the rnto of n
nulo n minute The swimmer boldly doyo
from the bank nnd WAS lost fram
view for a numbet of seconds ,
when ho came to the surface suvernl
yards nbovo the point from which ho
sturtttd , having mudo n long diagonal
dive up nnd ncrosa the stream. lie
struck out boldly , paddling nloug with
"
ono hand. When ho reached thu "middle
of the stream ho raie-od his arm nnd wont
ntrnight down , disappearing bpnonth the
muddy surface. As the wnter closed
over him the maiden who had been watch

ifested gioit nervous excitement , and just
nn nho wns about to jump into the trail

appeared with n careleea > osa of the head ,
and his raven locku lljated upon the surg

As ho ncarcd the opposite ahoro the
ndmiring braves , led by the cirl , began
waving their hiinda and singing n aong
of joy , nnd whan ho reached the bank
and stood facing his admirers , loud
were the exclamations of gladness pent
up from the point where ho started.
1 r was indeed n wonderful font swlin

pletely disabled , and wearing heavy
bucksKln pantaloons and shirt , with no
boat or body guard to accompany him.
Hut ho accomplished it with apparent
ease and for hia reward received what to
him was worth moro than all else com
bined. The reporter was told the wed
ding would take plrco at the camping
grounds of the Indians , twenty miles
north , next Tuesday. Among these who
witne&aud the feat were several strange
Indians , who had been invited from afar
to participate in the festivities of the

it made the slightest motion they in-
