nUylnir a doublo dummy, with an no-
eompatiimont of tolxieco and whisky

some tunc, nothing unusual happening.
They wer i healed at a square table.
Ono of them, nt tho beginning of a now
iramo, had to deal t Ith his owu

When ho hail finished n most wonderful
thing happened. Tho cards o' tlio two
dummies were taken up by Invisible
hands, which arranged them and hold
them In tho usual fail ike form. It was
as if the carls were lu tho air.
The two men looked at each other
and at thin phenomenon with stupefaction.
If they had not been men ot
seleaco they would hnve fled shrieking.
'then tho dummies' hands wero sharply
rapped on the table.
"That means piny," tt hlspeml one of

Tho Hay of tlie Invisible dummies
was all right. Tho lending partner
took t'ie trlek nnd relumed, changing
the suit to show the hand she held. I
say she, becnttse by this tlino titer wero
vUlbla the hands nud nrms that held
tho cards, but nothing more. Ono of
tho player wns a woman with baro
amis showing from of white

Tho other was n man's, with nn ordinary
eort slfero and whlto cuff.
Tho men put down their pipes nnd
removed the whisky and water to another
table. They played the game in
solomo si once. Prenjntly it becamo
appnrrat that tho Woman played a
masterly game. She held good cards;
so did her partner. They scored In tho
first rub iloub'o treble nnd the rub,
and In tho second treble, single nnd

TEACHING A HORSE TRICKS.
A Trench 1 Metier Ibst tl In Hard
Work, llrr t itltaluml.
Tho grcutest living trainer of performing
horses Is tho frenchman. Loyal.
Ho makes no secret of his methods,
which have of teu been published latest
In that carious and entertaining book
by I.o Itoux and (Tnrnler, "Acrobats
nnd Mountebanks."
Tho horse, in tho opinion ot this ex
perienced man, Is ono of thouiillest mil
uialscrcatcdiit has but one fault mem
ory. It must bo forced to Unrn Its
tricks which nro Imprinted on Its memory
by tho whip If It resist, nnd by
presents of carrots If It obey. These
are associated In Its mind with certain
words or gestures and it goes through
the list from tear of punishment on ono
hand, and in hope of reward on tho
other.
This Is certainly different behavior
from tho lively Interest taken by horses
In racing, fox hunting and cuttlo herding,
the actlvo obedience uud
of war chargers or tho steods
used by firemen; but In theso nnd similar
Instances the animal, naturally
gregarious and nccustomed to compote
with his fellows is doing what seems
natural to him, and his exertions hayo
an object and result that ho can comprehend.
Tho feats of the circus, on the contrary,
depend for their popularity largely
iu forcing the animal to do what Is
contrary to nnturo, such as strutting
about oa his hind legs poising himself
on psdsttals where thcro Is ssoreely
room for his feet, lylug down to bo
tramped upon by his master or mistress
balancing upon a narrow pathway in
imitation of an equilibrist, and other
things the more out of tho wny tho
better in the estimation of the populace
In which a horsa cantalro no lotarmsl,
and must loso that self-respect ond
prido which nio so manifest lu him under
under 'better oirosmsta tecs Whilo
these foats aro ustoulshllig, they are
rarely graceful or agreeable to tho
bettor taste.
Any horse, ncc.inlin7 to M I.nyal, can
bo trained by Jint. clout force; yet certain
breeds as tlm Arabian horses arid
tboso from Old I'rulft aro tmstar to
teach than any others nnd the ngn is
ot great Importance. Tho best
Is received between tho fifth and
ssventh years of tlie animal's llfs; before
that tho hor is too xoitub!e;
sftsrward. likely to bo stiff. Frank
