A year ago, after n ten days' stormy, sleepy spell, no less than six (lend iini lnals wero found huddled in a nook be hind some Kind hills. Unting llio win ter of 18H4, (14 wild ponies died from ex posure and nnt mal cuuses. of course where there aro several hundred horses or people no matter how well cared fi r, tm re will be u numlu rof deaths. Ho We cannot put the whole (I I denths down to "expusuro and starvation." Tlmt winter began with 400 wild ponies on the Island, and it was what tho staff there called a ' hard winter." Tho sand perineal ing their food cnuses the teelh to Wear away rapidly, so that old age and inability to cat sunieieut come upon them sooner than V llh horses on tiio mainland. Their battles also, which, though not fieipieiit, are fiereu, and at times to the death, tend to lu crenso tho percentage of mortality. They go in gangs of from o to 3, un cording tocireuinsuineeH. Each gang 1ms ii master stallion, who is patriarch, fa ther, defender. It was my privilege last March, wh' ii visiting tho island, to see 1 1 gangs in ono day when Superintend ent Jloulilier drove with mo from the extremo eastern bar to tho main stntion. We came within 21) or 80 yards of several gangs, but they moved independently away as we approached Catching mid shipping them is nn im portant mid, to all tho stall', an exciting incident. I witnessed it from the look out platform of Ko. 4 station in tho early gray of nn October morning. Su perintendent rjoutilicr roused mo at dawn with tho words, "They nro driv ing in tho lirst gang," mid in a few minutes I was hastening from tho house, some silli) yards, to tho "lookout," whence I saw dark objects moving over tho easterly hillocks. Soon eould bo dis tinguished nine wild ponies racing hith er Hid yon, but kept well together and trending west by aid of l.'J melt on horsebitek (uativo ponies that seemed to enjoy tho fun as much as tho men ou their backs) behind them, with long whips ami stentorious voices. A corral 23 yards in ammeter, strong ly inclosed, with ft branch fence, extend ing from one side some To yards, mado it not unlike a lish trap or weir, into which by judicious driving and heading tho gang was wifely lodged, and the riders wero olf for another gang of l'i, which tho boss had located, and which in nn hour, despite most desperate of forts to break away, wore all safely cor railed with the tlrst gang. Then i mined i at ely begun a battle be tween the two patriarchs, which I wit nessed. Tooth, forefeet and heels, min gled with very positive sipieals, were vigorously used. Af tfr awhile tho weak' or stallion fled into (ho orowd, and the viotor s mnnnor indicated his impor tance nnd foreshadowed his apparent doom, for tho remark was mado, "Wed better get that big fellow out, as ho might hurt some one. " Ho he was soon lassoed, thrown down, a Uoimpurlo brl dlo put in his mouth and u line to uuo foot, ami then let up to da:;h out of tho corral thniiigU tho gateway purposely opened, dragging two of tho hoys who guided linn to tho beach for shipment. Let mo give tho details : Four or five mou enter the corral, and tho horses ohister to tho opposite side. Then ono man throws a noose around the ueck of ono, and two men pall that boast out of the gang us tho herds cirolo round near the inclosing fence. Thodiflionltyot breathing soon causes temporary weakness, and the horso falls, or is pushed down, wheu one man soizes his head, another tho tail, and one jumps on his body to keep him from floundering. Tho boss puts tho loop of a lino into tho horse's mouth and round his lower jaw, then up over his head and down through the loop in his jaw, so that by pulling tho liuo a doublo pur chase is brought ou the mouth. This is a bonapni'to bridlo. Such a purcliaso at the mouth with a lino on a hind foot held by experienced men relators it impossiblo for tho ani mal to go olsowhoi'o than to tho beach. When there, two sailors, holding the ends of a line sovoral fathoms long, walk around him, folding tho ropo about his legs. Thou by tightening this leg ropo and holding firm his other fasten ings tho horso quickly falls and is hold down by head and tail, while his legs ore tied together with manilla brought from tho ship. A layer or two of this soft fupo lies between the foot, so that strug- f;ling does not cause abrasion. Then, iblpkss, tho monarch lies broadside ou tho soft sand. Tho bridlo is removed, the leg lino, and tho boys hurry bock to tho corral, a quarter of a inilo away, for tho fuu of catching and bringing down uuulUr group. Halifax IW4I1I. DINING WITH THE PRINCB. Ttin ITnuplUlltjof AIWI Kdffnril ll Marl borough IlfttlHf,. The Trlnco of Wales gives In the conrso f the season certain special din ners nt Marlborough House, which in many essential respects differ from thoso which he attends nt other people's homes. Tho guests do not number nioro than 45 people, including tho ladles nnd gentlemen in attendance upon the prince nnd princess. When members of the , royal family arrive nt Marlborough i House, at tho outer gate, the fact Is nt oucosiguaieii irom uioiougn, go uini ina Prince and Princess of Wales are never taken by surprise, but nro lu readiness to receivo them. Tho dining room In which the ban quet is served Is a magnificently deco rated apartment, with a ceiling of white nnd gold. On (lie wall ou the left hand Ride is n great square of red plush to set off tho presentations i if plate which hnvo been made to their royal highnesses dur ing tho recent years. Tho I'rlneo of Wales, as n host, sits not nt tho end, but In t!ie middle seat, nt ilie sido of n largo and long table. Tablo decorations nro of a massive, ornate nnd rather heavy rhnracter. A very high centernleeo is filled with dowers, and moro blossoms nro placed in tall vases resembling speci men glasses. Probably Marlborough House Is the only place In London in which tho knives and forks aro laid so curionsly. To eneh guest two forks nnd no move nro provided, nnd these are placed prongs downward, reversing the usual method. In addition there Is one large tablespoon nnd on" largo knife. In nocireutustaiire nro two knives permitted upon the table sl'iiultaiieonsly, and for this ruin 11 very strange reason is assigned. His royal highness Is very superstitious, mid on 110 account will ho inonr the risk ( f having knives crossed Inadvertently. The wineglasses nro placed, by t!in bye, in a lino as straight ns a company of soldiers, nnd the services nro simply fold ed in two. Small water bottles nro used, but npparently finger bowls nro tabooed in Marlborough House. Dinner begins at 8 :15 p. m. and lasts for (ilia hour and ten minutes. Rapid service is insisted upon. Yet fonr or llvo waiters only aro allowed to en'or tho dining room, which is, however, somo distance from tho kitchen. Celerity mid dispatch aro obtained by tho employ ment of a small army of assistants sta tioned behind the scenes. For dessert royal blue Sevres Is used, nnd when the tinio has conio for coffee nnd cigars tho custom is onc.o during tho year, nnd, only once llio night of tho Derby dinner to baud to each finest a silver lighter of unique design.

Iu fact, this artificial lemonade is by 110 moans equal to that umdo from pura lemon juice, whether used nt table or for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu matic gout the fresh juico of tho lemon is pioforrod on account of tho blcitratc of pi itimh which it contains. Pure lemon juice Is also a valuable remedy in sore throat und diphtheria, discs hnvo been recorded in which children have nppar enlly been cured of this terrible disenso by coiintaiitly sucking oranges or lemons.

The outconi in which tho sailor's call ing is held in Massachusetts coast towns is indicated by a trno story that comes from Gay Head, a primitivo community ou tho island of Martha s Vineyard. A toouher was wanted at the village, and a sailor, with Indian blood iu his veins, applied to the town committee tor the position. Ho had to pass an ex amination by the committee and treni bled at tho ordeal, being sadly nulourn- ed in booklore. Tho chairman began the examination. "Mr. , what is tho shape of the earth?"

Ono is not quite sure that tho religi osity of the Scotch makes them so much more virtuous than peoplo who pay less attention to "the means of grace." IJut while it cannot readily bo proved that they have more of tho positive virtues than their neighbors thero is at least somo reason to bollovo that they are freer from a few of tho ugly vices than their southern cousins, although wheu tho Scot is bad ho Is very bad. When he gives way to drink, for instance, ho runs to great lengths. But it will be found that thero is lunch less wife beat ing (thero being nothing in Scotland nt all resembling tho frlglilful prnetlco of "clogging" known in Lancashire towns), much less cruelty to children, much more kindliness and fellow feel ing among tho Scottish peoplo than among the English, whilo nt tho mimn tinio the Scotch aro not nearly so clan nish ns tho Irish, tho Jov;a or tho Chi ncse. In his poem on "Nothing" Rochester hasehissed "Scotch civility" along with "French truth" and "Hilieriiinii learn ing" as being nonexistent. Even Walter Scott causes Mr. Owen to speak of a typical Scot liko Bailie Nicol Jarvle, ns "that cross grained crabslick of tho Paltniarket," nnd nro wo not told that tho term "Scot" lis well as "(iael," de rived from a word for "wind," means "the violent, stormy people V" In spito of nil this nnd much more to tho samo end tl'.o Scot, take him nil In nil, is not fairly cl'a.-ijenblo with being lacking in courtesy. Tho word "eoiithy" (the op posite or positive of "uncouth," diinin utived by tlio nddition of the terminal "y"), signifying n combination of qtiirt kindliness nnd sweetness of mnimer, has 110 English equivalent, and thus would seem to indicate a peculiarly Scotch quality, which, It may be said, tends to wnnn considerably with tho growth of commercialism, giving placo to n bms query peculiarly tho outcomo of the "rush" of business, nnd what Cnrlyle called tlio "mere cash nexus" between man nnd man. Scottish speech abounds In what may bo called pet words, which would seoni to testify that, whether the Scotch bfl stormy nnd sharp tongnod or not, they can, upon occasion, bo ns insinuatingly smooth tongnod ns tho wily Italian him self.

The stout, good humored gent leman, whose imago uppenrt beforo mo as I write his name, is associated in my mind with an event In which ho took tho keenest in terest a total eclipse of the sun but the amusement afforded by a rather absurd incident connected with it I am nfrald engrossed my childish mind moro thnn all tho scientific explanations of the phenomenon which Sir John Franklin was so weli qualified to give. In thoso primitive days it was hold that tho l ost mode of witnessing the ob scuration of tho sun was to watch it through pieces of smoked glass, with whioh wo wero all duly provided when wo sallied forth to un opxn pit-co of ground where nothing impeded the view. The result was that iu the course of a few minutes tho noses of every ono tires out wero sovorely bhickened uncon- sciouidy to themselves and tho appear- ouce of tho wholo scientific party was irresistibly comio.
