Kind to Their Horses.

“When in Russia,” says a noted traveler, “I noticed with pleasure that the horses in the droskies were driven with a rein not much, if any, larger than a whipcord, and without check-rein or blinders. The whip is a little short one, and I do not remember to have seen it used. The horses are mostly beautiful stallions and go like the wind, controlled chiefly by the voice. Whatever we say about these Russians, they are evidently kind to their horses.”
