How the Spblfl Animal Was Regarded Olci-Tliiio Peoples, i-\ It is, perhaps, small piattor for won der that the nations who first tamed the horse for riding attached high nonor to the creature seated on whose I bapk they scOured with such swift ness. The exhilaration of riding is one •vyhieh puotom does pot etijle, and Which affects the civilized rider of to day, if he be of an emotional nature, probably almost as keenly as it did the ancient gcythian, German or Slpv. In addition to this, neighboring races who had not this art looked upon those who had it with kind pf superstitious won der, -\veaying. strange stories about them. The horsemen of Thessaly ap peared to the other Greeks through p. mist of fable as centaurs, half man, half brute, but wholly divine. And in the frank fashion of all primitive peo ple the horseman gave back to the horse the glory that he received re flected from it, and made of his com rade in war and chase a kind of deity. The ancient Germans took oracles from white horses, just as the Egyp tians did from their sacred oxen. The animals were kept in groves, and gave piigury by neighing, Among the Slavs the sword combined with the horse to foretell future events, The weapons were planted in the ground, and the horses led among them by the move ments of the beasts the attending priests judged the will of the gods. Among the Norsemen, the sacrifice of a horse and the eating of its flesh was a token of' sacramental allegiance to Odin. Among the ancient Irish, when a king was crowned in "Ulster, it was customary to slay a white mare afid boil if in a vat. Into this vat the newly made king descended, and there sat, drinking the broth and tasting small, portions of the meat. The eating of horseflesh was so well recognized as a heathen rite that the early Christian paints forbade it to their converts. Among the Scythians the horse was deemed sacred to the sun, and its wor ship crossed the Himalayas, and was early established among the Raipuft kings, Next to a human being, who probably was, ay a matter of fact, never sac rificed in ancient India, the horse was the jnost acceptable offering to the gods, It is Jaid down, in the puran&s tliJit the sacrifices of a hundred horses ousts Indrg, the king of the gods, from his throne, and reigns in Paradise (Swarga) in his stead. There is no rec ord, however, of anyone having earned this* surpassing felicity. Kings, on at taining the throne, usually sacrificed ft horse, their tributary princes per forming the more menial duties con nected with the Aswamedha (horse sacrifice). Indeed, even the office of porter in thig solemn rite could only be assumed by one of royal blood. One of the books of the great Hindoo eipic, the Mahabharata, contains an account of the Ashwamedha held by Yudhis thira, king of the Pandus, when he had, by the defeat of the Kauravas, firmly established his rule over north ern India. The safcred horse was turned loose to wander wherever it listed for year, while the loyal ftrany followed it everywhere at a respectful distance. Other tribes whose pastures it crossed were given the option of either turn ing out in force to join the triumph of the horse, or of accepting wager of bat tic. At the end of the yea,r the horse was led back to the palace and there sacrificed.—London Standard. •—•. "AVv-i TO SLEEP WELL. A Iilght Sapper Just Before Retiring Is Usually Beneficial. A light supper just before retiring is usually of advantage. Babies and brute animals are usually somnolent when their stomachs are well supplied with food, the activity of the stomUch with drawing the excess of blood from the brain, where it is not needed during sleep. On the other hand, people who are very hupgry usually find it difficult to sleep. And, then, a habit of gleep at a regular time and durijig'proper hours should be cultivated in case this habit has beem, lost. In accomplishing this the attainment of a favorable state of rrinid is of great importance. Sleep can not be enforced by a direct exercise of the will. The very effort "of the will to command sleep is enough to render its attain ment nugatory, The mental state to be encouraged is one of quiescence, one of indifference, a feeling that the eumbent postiire is a proper one for rest and that if tjie thoughts are disposed to continue active they may be safely allowed to take their course without any effort toward control. This state of mind and thought is next akin to dreams and dreaming is next a.!?™ to pound sleep. Many mental methods have been ad vised and put in practice for. the pur pose of securing sleep, the design being to turn the thoughts from objects of interest to a condition of monotony as by mentally repeating well-remem be^ed phrases or sentences, otr by count* ing. But the state otf indifference, if this can, be obtained, is likely to be the most efficient, as being the least active. The mere mention of these simple methods will be sufficient to suggest othfera equally effective.—Medical Bee- ~i 'Aj "V1" '•L •—J tg Quince gimp.

A Wo^4erfta Invention'in the Liny }ff '£f? of Photography, 1 _________ tt Reproduces Moving Objects and tht Play of the Human Feature^ "''.i: with Startling Faithfulness to Life, The vogueof "the moyingphotographs" became pronounced, and thousands yvho had hitherto kept away from variety theaters crossed the doors of those places of amusement to behold the new est scientific achievement. Straight way. countless new machines were put out, and the curiosity to witness the vitascope and cinematographe pictures grew apfece. There are two dozen of thege mechanical reproductive inven tions now, and the returns are not all in by a good deal. Among the best known are the cinematographe, the vitascope, the phantoscope, the kineoptikon, the animatpgraphe and the eidoloscope. The. secret of all these contrivances is photography, It is not unnatural, therefore, that the men whot'have suc ceeded best should be photographers. The Lumieres, who gave the cinemato graphe to the world, hit upon their dis covery two years ago, and since then they havebeen reaping a golden harvest. There is ho need to thrash over the old straw about priority of invention, and it matters little whether Lumiere or Edison was first in the field. The last twelvempnth Lumiere & Sons have ac quired a world-wide reputation through the cinematographe. The cinemato graphe has recently, by special invita tion, been privately exhibited before Emperor Francis Joseph and the im perial court in Vienna, at the Elysee in Paris, before President Faure, his family and official household, and also before the'various courts of Europe. About 12 years ago the heads of this firm were almost unknown, eyen in their own city of Lyons, France. But from a small business they have, by their inventive skill and progressive methods, advanced until they now stand among the leading houses in the world. In their works they made the highest class of supplies and scientific appliances used in photography. The financial success resulting from their skill and enterprise is, perhaps, best shown by .saying that they now em ploy hundreds of hands, and that their stock commands 500 per cent, premium —representing nearly $4,000,000. The foundation of the Lumieres' for tune and the explanation of the superi ority of the cinematographe rest in the accidental discovery of a composition that produced peculiarly sensitive plates. This composition has been kept a secret, but it proved so much better than all others that they gave up photography and devoted their entire attention to the manufacture of sensi tive plates. Subsequently experiments led to the invention of a toy cinemato graphe, -which they perfected about two years ago. Then they realized the possibilities of the machine and gave the first public exhibition in Lyons, France, December 26, 1895. The cinematographe ^consists of a small box about eight by ten by four inches, and the entire mechanism is a series of reels upon which the long band of sensitive film is wound rapidly behind a set of five magnifying lenses. On these bands area series of photo graphs, each one scarcely larger than a postage stamp, which are reflected on a white screen by means of a powerful electric light, in such rapid succession as to reproduce all the infinite and varied movements of nature, m- The bands of sensitive film are abojit 18 yards long and contain from 1,800 to 2,000 pictures. They are made of cellu loid and gelatine, which are covered with the preparation before mentioned, and so delicate is the material that it rolls up into a box about three inches in diameter. Yet it is so tough that it can be handled with perfect freedom, be ing, to quote the language of the op erator, "strong as a watch spring." The tiny pictures, when magnified through the various lenses, cover a space on the stage 14 by 18 feet. The powerful light which throws tlie picture on the screen is obtained by the ordinary carbons used in: the arc lamps, being arranged in a different manner. Instead of the two carbons being placed the one perpendicular to the other, they are placed obliquely, the positive carbon being slightly behind the nega tive and being hollowed out in such manner as to form a natural reflector. By this means an unusually intense concentrated ray of light is obtained, which is an important factor in the dis tinctness of the pictures. The occasion al flickering is caused'by unsteadiness of the current, and not by any defect in the cinematographe. The camera by means of iwhich the pictures are taken is just the same size as the box by which they are reflected, and the pictures are taken in the same manner. The sensitive film is placed inside of a perfectly light-proof box and unwound before the camera by means of hand reels, the same as when show ing the pictures. The length of time taken to secure one .picture is about a minute and a half, so that theexposures are made at the rate of about 20 per second. In the case of very rapid mo tion it is necessary to turn the crank quicker, and in slow motions slower, so that this time varies. This explains why some pictures last longer than others. Only one person is employed by the Lumieres to take these photo graphs. This is Alexander Promio, .who haB the reputation of being the greatest scientific photographer, in all Europe. Every view shgwn through this instru ment has been taken by him in person, and he has .-traveled over Europe, Asia, the northern portion of Africa and America in the short space of six months, taking an average of 12 daily. The largest number of pictures ever taken by Promio in one day was 32, bet ing all different views of the coronation of the cfcpr of Russia.—Chicago Post. SCHOOL, Pupils UNLIKE QTHgR, Come and Go as They F|ngf^ Mpstly Men of Family, There is a school^in this city tnatis in session every day in the week, except Sunday, and two nights besides. The students have no recess. There-is no stated hour for instruction, although }t is understood that the day pupils are expected to be at their desks from nine o'clock a. m. until five p. m. and the night pupils from seven until nine. If one is tardy no questions aire asked. If he wants to be late or dilatory-he is the suff eirer. Thdrfe is no rcllcall. There is no romping, no high jinks, at any time during the day. There is no stick ing of bent pins into the seats of the other pupils no pitching o| the ball no shout in the afternoon no playing hoo-key. It is a solemn and earnest class. The pupils aire for the most part men of family, and go to school during, the day. Others work in the daytime and attend at night. The teacher has never yet reprimanded one of his pupils. No pupil has ever been known to make a face at his teacher when the teacher's back was turned. The average attend ance is 70. These pupils are studying forHhe purpose of getting themselves into lino for the ordeal wliich may make th^m members of the podice force, or park policemen, or .firemen, or letter carriers, or clerks in some department of the municipal government. The school is private. The pupil understands when he enters that the teacher has no certificate to give. The fact that the pupil has been proficient in his school does not imply that the pupil will pass the ex amination required by the civil service rules of the municipality. It does not presuppose a pull. But it makes tho pupil better qualified for service, and less timid when he runs up against the civil service interrogatories. He knows a little more than he might have other wise known. He knows that the name of a man or, a town must begin with a capital letter when he writes out that name. He knows the location of the principal cities of the country.- He knows whether Chapultepec belongs to the war with Mexico or the civil war. If he is an applicant for a place in the fire department or as a park polieeman he must know how to read print and manuscript. He must be able to write and show a specimen of his writing by copying from manuscript. He must be proficient in addition, subtraction, mul tiplication and division as applied to whole numbers. He must be able to give the location of streets and ferries, and if he wants to Ije a fireman he is told what the city laws require in the construction of a building, and inord^y: to test his memory he is told to visit W certain house and inspect it, and then he is required to return and make a re port of it. If he wants to be a policeman he must go over the same ground, in addi tion to which he must know, after he has been instructed, what a policeman must do under certain circumstances. And if he is looking for a place in the post offiae or a- clerical place in the city hall he mustunderstand how to manip ulate common fractions as well as some, other things.—N. Y.

"It is one of the secrets of the trade, but I don't mind telling you confiden tially that- more women in this town smoke cigarettes than you ever dreamed of," said the dapper little French manicure operator who has a .fashionable place in State street. "Lots of them come here to have th»» stains of the smoke removed from, their fingers. This has become a reg ular part of our custom, and fully as mamy women with, smoke-stained fin«. gers come to us as do those who sihow' no sign of the habit. ,i "When a woman once gets the cig arette habit, she is-obliged to smoke at home, acd it doesn't take long to etaiii, her fingers to such, an extent that she! cannot conceal the evidenc& of her lolly from 7a*r husband and friends, and she is obliged to go to a manicure to have the yellow tinge removed. "At first they are satisfied with a dainty, perfumed cigarette that is so mild that it does not stain the fingers, but they soon want something stronger and resort to the cheaper but more in toxicating grades. The smell of cig arette smoke upon the breath may be destroyed by a liberal use of hot water, and certain chemicals—listerine being: the best known disinfectant—but soap and water will not remove stains from the fingers. "What will do it? O, that is one of the secrete of the trAde." .t,„„ The operator went on to say her ob servation taught her that" men were generally proud of their cigarette fin-, gers, and seldom requested that special effort- be made to cleanse them. Women also conceal the evidence of the per nicious habit more. from a desire to keep it from their friends than from pride in the appearance of their hands. The confirmed Cigarette smoker,! man or woman, becomes indifferent as the senses become dulled by the poisonous ingredients of the cigarette, and were it not. for a sense of shame, we would see as many smoke-stained fingers on the hands of women as on men.—ChK cago Tribune, Cocoanut Balls.
