MILITARY TACTICS. 
An English writer on military tactics 
in the time of Charles I. has the following 
cure of a restive horse, not unworthy of 
the notice of inexperienced riders. 
“Moreover if your horse be wresty, 
soas he cannot be put forwards; then 
let one take a cat tyed by the tayle toa 
long pole, and when he goes backwards, 
thrust the cat towards his stones, where 
she imay claw him, and forget not to threa- 
ten your horse with a terrible noyse: or 
otherwise take a hedge hog and tye him 
streight by oue of his feete to the inside 
of the hor sestayle, so that he may squeake, 
and pricke him.” Wall’s Aniniadversions 
of War, p. 290.
