A SCHOOL FOR COWBOYS.

Hew the American Type Is Being Fea g petuated In England. Notwithstanding the very general impression that the cowboy's vocation !• about gone, and that he is a vanishing type, the tew remaining specimens of which have gone into vaudeville, there is, in fact, quite a brisk demand for the service of the cowboy In many parts of the world. In Australia, South Africa, Northwest Canada and South America the cow* boy win find a job open to him for a long time to come. When one comes to tMnk of it, it Is a little surprising that some enterprising Yankee has not long ago hit upon a plan for supplying the foreign demand for this distinctively American institution, but for once American enterprise has been outdone.

At Shepperton-on-Thames, almost in the heart of England, one may see any day now real cowboys performing wonderful feats of horsemanship—picking up handkerchiefs and hats at full gallop, riding bucking "bronchos," and doing other acrobatic performances. One may see the Colt and the Winchester used in the most expert fashion, and the lasso manipulated by past masters of the art There, at night, is the bivouac and camp fire, and the story' telling and good fellowship, and after that the saddle for a pillow and the blanket for a couch. And this is not Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. It is the "Imperial School of Colonial Instruction,” from which are graduated cowboys. The need of such an institution was conceived by two Englishmen.— Captain Morgan, who was an orderly under General French In South Africa during the Boer War, and was a member of the famous mounted police of Northwest Canada, and M. French, who was a member of Dunlop’s Scouts and of the First Regiment of Australian Imperial Bushmen. The idea of the founders of this institution was to train selected men for cowboy life, and equip them ther*

Cowboy In Training. oughly for the service in the particular country to which they expected to go.

The course of study at the Imperial School of Colonial Instruction occupies six months and is somewhat encyclopaedic. Captain Morgan is the chancellor and around camp fire has charge of the department of music, being an expert banjo player. French presides over the chair of riding and is the favorite with the “boys.” Captain Morgan has charge of the department of war and teaches aspirants for the cowboy life how to use the Colt and the Winchester. Welsh, a cow-puncher from Idaho, is the professor of the lasso, with “Navajo Bob” for an assistant. And there are other studies iand instructors. The students in the school are taught the art of breaking horses and caring for them. They are taught cowboy cookery, how to Ipcate themselves when lost, scouting, carpentry, the construction of barracks and fortifications, how to pack the packanimals, harness making, elementary medicine and other similar things. It is the alm of the school to reproduce at Shepperton-on Thames as nearly as possible the actual environment of the particular colony for which the student is destined, and he accordingly is familiarized with all the peculiarities of each country by the exact reproduction of the houses, stables, corrals, the tools with which he will have to work and the food on which he will have to live. —Kansas City Star.

Supernatural Phenomena.

Mr. Boswell—ln the rising cost of living are we not confronted with a situation erf extreme gravity? Dr. Jbhnson —Sir! 1 perceive no gravity in the situation whatever. Mr. Boswell —Why, str; how can you say that? Dr. Johnson —If you had devoted as much of your time to the natural sciences as you have exended in observing my personal idlosyncracles, you would be aware that a situation in which everything is going up and nothing' coming down, cannot be referred to as one of gravity.—Brooklyn Life.

Even th’ ideal wife sets th’ succotash back t’ simmer while she feels her way, red an’ faintin’’, t’ th’ verandy fer a little breathin’ spell, an’ t’ git a line on her neighbors.

OUR FUTURE RAILWAY RIVAL

H Will Be Russia, Whleh Now Is Second to Us In Mileage. If it Is a question merely of bigness the Russian railway system is far and away the first in Europe. There are already many more miles of railway in this vast empire than in any other country in the world excepting the United States, and Russian railways are still only in their infancy. It Is of course quite true that there are now In the United States more miles of railway than in all Europe and almost as many as in all tho fest of tho world put together, and that our territory is so large and as yet se Bar from complete development that wo shall probably keep tho lead as tar aa railway enterprise is concerned fer a long time to come. But in taking these largo views, says Moody's Msgazin,, we have forgotten that Russia is two and a hall times as large as all tho United States put together with a population more than half as largo again as our own; that in territorial extent it is moro than twice as large as all Europe; that it stretches across tho world for 170 degrees of longitude—nearly half way around the globe—and that it includes one-sixth of the land surface of the planet .. _ It is not surprising that in such a country railways should have had a largo development, that already there is a oonsidorable mileage and that tho prospects in this direction seem to have no limit. In tho future Russia and the United States are likely to di* vide the railway empire of tho world between them.

Money in Rate.

Tho only good rats are dead rate. Alive, the rat carries disease. Dead, it may have a commercial value.-The skin Is fine material for book covers and for making purses and photograph frames. It may also bo used in tho manufacture of gloves for women, and in several of the groat cities tho rat killing industry is assuming-pro-portions. Tho rat In Boandinavia, as well as the species known as the Norwegian, a bl> bothersome rodent because of its fighting proclivities. Is particularly valuable for the purposes named. The bodies can be converted into fertilising material. Thus, in many commercial centres abroad, is tho rat being killed by tho many thousands not because it to a menace to public safety, but because uses have boon found for tho heretofore worthless hide. Tho time may oome when tho rat will bo hunted assiduously in this country, not only because of tho money that’s in it, but because it is our enemy.—lndianapolis Mows. ✓

THE PRACTICAL POET.

Advertisers Appreciate His Verge Even I* Publishers Do Not. “It is passing strange," said the practical poet as ho ran his hang through where his hair used-to •that I never see a volume of poetry among the six best sellers. It in post lively discouraging, for poetry in aJL ways good to the eye if not to the ear, and those Who read it are generally of the softer gender. “And this isn’t because there Is any scarcity of publishers, for even I have been approached on more than one occasion by philanthropic gentlemen who would bring out a volume of my gems for the consideration of a few hundred dollars. But somehow I couldn't see it in that light, and there must be a few thousand more who take that view of it; hence the dearth of books of verso in the publishers’ lists.

' "A good many young men come to this town every year with a suit ease filled with fresh, original verse and what he imagines to be a letter to posterity in his inside pocket Bat they are up against a hard proposition. I know, because I’ve been through the mfll "When I struck this town I was filled with all sorts of lofty ideas and after six months near starvation I was glad to get a job on an obscure trade publication, which I wouldn't have secured if the editor had known that I dallied with the muse. I tried the magazines with some success, but ft took two or three years before any of my poems were printed. I had some stuff accepted too in the comic papers, but they only paid on publication—l suppose that's where the joke came in.

"But the advertising game was the best of all while it lasted. I dofiE wish to be understood as saying that it is dead, for the street cam, fences and rocks still carry some lasting verse In praise of various kinds of merchandise. To accomplish thia class of verse it was necessary to worship at the altar of beauty a good deal after the manner of Shelley and Keats. When the pickle man camo along and he who purveys the superior order of frankfurters then genius was made to bud in different directions. And It paid royally.

English Justice.

The readers will find in Dr. Goj> ton Hake’s "Memoirs of Eighty Years” an anecdote/related of Lord Bloomfield, Bishop of London about a hundred years ago, in which is to be seen a striking trait of the British character. Imprisonment for debt was not in accordance with the bishop’s sense of right He would not yield his principles even when he was in Italy, where he could not he held responsible for the Jaws. I was told by* one of the family a lingular anecdote of the bishop, writes Doctor Hake. When he was it Rome he was invited to a banquet by the cardinals, and while the company gathered he learned accidentally that the dining-hall was over the lebtors’ prison. His anger at once bunt forth and knew no bounds. He, a prelate of the Church of England, was insulted. He had been asked to dine over the heads of those wretched prisoners, who, during the feast, would be. pining in their narrow cellsl His hosts naturally explained that •uch o an affront was not intended by them; but he was not to be pacified. At last his course was determined oil He would remain where he was until a full list of all the prisoners* debts was brought to him. For this he waited sulkily, and when it arrived he wrote a check for the entire amount. The prison doors were opened, and he jut down. *
