(Special letter. 0 be a perfect cav- alryman the man must have learned to ride before he learned to walk," la the saying of a high military authority. It la supported by the fact that the conquering cavalry forces in all agea of history have been recruited from regions in which the horseman waa the only man of consideration, and the art of riding was taught the boy at so early an age that it was an Instinct with him rather than an acquirement. There is another class of cavalryman like the British mounted regiments in India, the French in Algiers, and those splendid riders, the United States cavalry, seasoned by scouting service and Indian campaigns on the plains cavalrymen of the modern school who fight either in the saddle or dismounted, and warfare through constant frontier against savage horsemen have become admirably effective troopers. For the gathering, branding, herding and shipment of thd millions of cattle that roamed the plains, a class of men who could ride, and endure and take risks, was required, and thus the cowboy was developed. He is the successor of the Texas and Mexican vaquero, multiplied and modified. He can ride and throw the rope as well aB the old-tivaqueros, but has more of the civilised and fewer of the homicidal traits A HARD MOUNT, than his lawless, picturesque predecessor. He was bred upon the ranches or came as a young man from the States, attraced by the adventurous life of the plains, and inspired by the hope of making a fortune in cattle raising, as so many men did in the beginning. Usually the newcomer was a passable rider before he came west. Afterwards, by experience more or less painful, lie learned the idiosyncrasies of broncho nature, how to keep his saddle in a pitching sea, with his beneath him, pony jumping and to handle cattle in all their moods in all weathers. It would be difficult to find anywhere cavalry recruits better fitted in character and training than the cowboy of the plains. In everything but military discipline he is a proved soldier through his mode of life. He is hardy, enduring, accustomed to hardships, to sudden calls to duty, and to long stretches in the saddle without food or rest. His bed is the ground under the rain or stars as may happen; his simple fare is much the same as that of the army soldier. His home is the saddle, and he is usually a good shot, who can manage his firearms handily from the back of a horse. His standard of honor and duty, as he sees them, is high, and he thinks that nothing is so disgraceful as cowardice. In his personal quarrels and in defending his life and his employer's property against Indians and white robbers he has in many rases had already his baptism of fire. He is resourceful in emergency, and. a valuable quality in a cavalryman, he has an Indian instinct of locality and difficult country. MoreAmerican, over, he Is an ultra-loyaggressively patriotic and ready at all times to fight for his country's honor at the drop of the hat." What discipline and Intrepidity the cowboy will how in action, when led by officers like Wood and Roosevelt, is told in the story of the charge of La Quaslna and the carrying of the hill of San Juan In the taking of Santiago de Cuba. Emadployed as infantry, throughout the vance and siege, the rough riders showed the steadiness of regulars, not only in active fighting but In the harder ordeal of waiting under fire. stiff-legg- ed ! j As with plants, so with children; and as we must study the nature of each plant In our garden that we may the more intelligently cultivate it, just so. In the management of the little ones that are given Into our hands to train. We must diligently study the nature and character of each human plant, that we may be able to cultivate and correct to the best advantage. While one child Is of a cheerful and independent nature, preferring to cars for himself, and even anxious to fight his own battles in life, another, though of just as cheerful a disposition. Is careless and thoughtless, allowing others to carry his burdens and bear while he glides all responsibility, easily along and manages to enjoy life after a fashion.

An expert in vital statistics gives this as the result of his observation: Of 1,000 women at the age of 20, 940 live ten years more, thus 96 in 100 live ten years more and six do not; the chance at the age of 20 of a woman living to the age of 30 being, therefore, nearly 16 to 1 in favor of living. Similarly, of 1,000 women living at the age of 30, 806 live twenty years more; so that we may say that 80 in 100 live to the age of 50 and that 20 do not; the chance at the age of 30 of a woman living to the age of 50 being, therefore, 4 to 1 in favor of living. Again, of at the women age of 60, 1,000 living 250 live 20 years more that is; 95 in 100 live to the age of 80, and 75 in 100 do not; the chance at the age of 60 of a woman living to 80 being 1 in 4.

There is present everywhere about us a numerous population of microscopic organisms creatures that the eye cannot see without the aid of a powerful magnifying glass. With almost every breath of air, every drink of water and every mouthful of food, we take into the system vest numbers of minute plants. Rome are so small that thousands might be picked up on the point of a needle. Fifty thousand of them can live and flourish on one square inch of surface. They swarm ovver the inside and outside of our bodies. Not long ago an eminent doctor found seventeen different kinds of plants growing on the tongue of a healthy person. One variety of these plants Is called ferments. Yeast Is one of the ferments. When yeast Is added to warm, moistened flour, the little yeast plants begin to turn tbe free sugar Into alcobol and carbonic acid gas. This gas in trying to escape forms bubbles In the sticky dougb, puffs it up and makes it "light. At tbe rigbt moment the bread Is put Into the hot oven. Tbe germs are killed, the alcohol and carbonic add gas are driven off and we have a nice loaf of fresh, light bread. In making beer and other fermented liquors the grain Is put Into a warm, damp place until it begins to sprout This Is necessary in order to change the starch of the grain into sugar, as the ferments do not act directly on tbe starch. After the grain has sprouted the ferment is added and the sugar turna into alcohol and carbonic acid gas. . It is this gas trying to escape that causea the foam to rise to the top of the beer. In canning fruit special care must be taken to keep out the ferments. The fruit and cans are boiled, and while both are steaming hot the fruit is put in and the cans are sealed air tight. In case all tbe germs are not killed, or If the can is nut air tight fermentation takes place, a large amount or carbonic acid gas accumulates and finally tbe pressure becomes so great that the can bursts. Yeast plants, as seen under tbe microscope, resemble minute bubbles. These plants do not multiply by producing seeds, but by a process called budding. When the plant Is full gown it sends out a small bud on one side. This bud grows and iu time sends out another bud, and so on. Ferments are of various kinds and cause different kinds of fermentation with different products. Among tbe kinds of fermentation tbe following may be specially mentioned; This is 1. Alcoholic fermentation. caused by s ferment which is contained In yeast. The product of its action is alcohol and carbonic aid gas. 2. Lactic fermentation. This la due to a vegetable ferment which Is contained In sour milk. It transforms surer Into lactic add. 3. Acetic ff.'uieutatlon. This is dih to a vegetable fermentation, which acR upon alcohol and changes it to aceth acid (vinegar). 4. Saccharine fermentation. Thi changes starch into sugar. 4. Putrefaction fermentation. Thii attends the decomposition of animal and vegetable substances. When milk sours, wtcu fruits decay, wuen cabbage turns to sauerkraut and cider changes to vinegar, when bread rises and fruit Jars burst, it is tbe ferments that aie slowly but surely tearing apart the vegetable substances. Plants and animal lock up in their systems element they have taken out of the earth, water and Hir. If these elementa should never be liberated tbs world would become poor In the elements necessary to sustain life, and shortly life on earth would be impossible. As soon a a plant or animal dies these ferments, which swarm it. the air and water, fall upon the dead organism and begin to tear it apart, giving back to the air and earth and water the elements locked up in the organism. All fermentations auil putrefactions are caused by tlicie germs, and were it not for tbem nearly u the plants and animals that ever existed would still retain their organic structure and the earth would be piled high with the dead there would be no room for the living.

The academy building was crowded with teachers, students and friends of the institution, tnd a lengthy and well received programme was carried out.
