Many erroneous idea« prevail ln re

in fact, the Vast majority of Americans
know very little abmit the manner In
which these animals are raised ami the
character of the people who raise them.
Fur lusUtnce, it is the popular belief
that the buyer goes to »Shetland und

kind of s|>ear-gras». Indigenous to
that eouutry. As soon a» the warm
spring days come the country 1* visited
by buyers from England and the conti

the nobility. The ponies are in great
demand for tho wealthier classes of
England, who buy them for their boys.

Marriage by Surprise.
An extraordinary occurrenoe has
taken place in one of the principal
churches of Madrid, in the parish of
Rants Crux.
A priest had nearly
finished hi* mass and was In the act of
pronouncing the sacramental words:
"Ite. mi»»u est," when a young man.
aged twenty-one, and a beautiful giri
of twenty suddenly approached the
altar railing with three middle-aged
men. and the young couple cried
aloud: "We wish to be husband and
wife Mere are our three witnesses."
Now, it seems thst under the canon
ical law« still regulating marriages in
Spain. Homan Catholics can thus
claim to be considered married by
surprise lf they are skillful enough to
do ao just after the priest ha* uttered
the benediction at the close of mass
Formerly tills stratagem was. a* in the
