PULLED BY THREE HORSES.
RcjsIan Jentlenen of Qnality Ride
la Style Hehlnd a Trio of
Cliargrer.Every Russian gentleman of wealth
or noble lineage goes driving in a man-
ner peculiar to his national! ty-iwith
three horses abreast attached to a
fashionable "troika" a vehicle whoLy
dissimilar to the carriages used in
other countries but" acs.vering the
same purpose. The two flaokmg horses
canter with their heads turned out-
ward the middle horse trots with
clean high steps and looking straight
before him all going at a furious speed
steered bv-a stout driver preposterous-
ly oadded. This is a turnout that ?e-
Ughtfi the heart of the wea'thy. luxury- j

The dooira. or characteristic wooden
arch which passes over the central
. . .
horses shoulders is fixed to the ends
. . A . ...
while the outer ends are attached not
ri"rinv to a splinter bar as-in ordinarv
carriages but to the ends of the front
axhetree. Cumbersome as this method
looks it has the advantage of applying
the draucht at the moat advantageous
angle considering the rough roads and
street3.
Fashion in Russia decides fhat the
middle horse must trot at its highest
speed- while the'other horses canter cr
gai:op. A side vein is used to make the
outside horses turn their heads out
ward so that they shall keep time and
lead with the innrard leg.
The ord'inarv whip is never employed
bv the Russian diriver of a troik. When
a whip is usediit is a short-handled af
fair on 1 ted a na?raika. with a lonxr lash
like a dog whip but this is plied onlj:
when the hor.se is to be punished se-
verelv. The usual method for stimulat
ing a horse is -to hit him with the little
knob of metal Which is attached to
each resu about half way between the
horse s mouth and the drivers hands.
The Russian coachman is extraordi-
narily fat in -appearance. This how-
ever is mainly due to a liberal padding
of cotton wadding with which the
koochcr fortifies himself against -the
biting cold of the climate.
To be very fashionable the Russian
must be driven by a non-Rnssian coach-
man 'ihe chief coachman to his im-
perial highness the czar is a one-ej'ed
Italian named Notto. whose brother
drives for Qraud Duke Paul. Many
Englishmen find employment in Rus-
sian .stables and a nuaiber of Ameri-
cans earn large salaries by working for
Russian trotting men. In European
countries the Anglo-Saxon is heldi in
high admiration as a horseman. The
owner of the largest horseshoeirg es-
tablishment in St. Petersburg is an
Englishman.
DISCOVERY OF. KHAKI.

A business man from Manchester
while traveling in India happened to
fall into conversation with an Eng-
lish officer who remarked carelessly
that the first manufacturer who could
produce a cotton drill that would not
fade would make his fortune.
The young Englishman never for-n-nt
this hint. He came home found a
j skillful. dyer and with him began the
search for an olrve dye which when
u-sed on cotton cloth would not yield
to soap or soda. .They spent years in
these experiments all of which proved
fruitless.
One day they forfnd among several
scraps of dyed cloth one which re-
tained its cooler under the most severe
tests. The puzzling fact was that it
had been cut from the same piece of
cloth and subjected to the same proc-
esses as the other scraps all of which
faded.
The two experimentej-s were.great-

secret was foun. The metal of the j

ment with other pieces. The dye held

was in session nearly "till summer ad-
journed without making ;iny appro-

.$1000.000 has been spent e pruing
the insect but a few were left each
year to be hilled the following year
at large expense.
