Among the most useful OF the charitable institu-

No. North Washington square stands prominent
1t Is under the management OF those devoted ladies
the Sisters OF Charity. and the good done by them
in providing shelter ana food and clothing for these
poor little waits OF sin and shame Is almost incal-
culable when 1t is known that during the last two
days the BOARD of 800 Iegitimatc children has been
paid by the good sisters to the wet nurses 70 whom
the children have been sent 20 be nursed. Yester-
day and to-day are the days set apart
for the wet nurses to call for board money
who have children sent them. Formerly the Found

at No. North Washington square. in the Old Sner-
wood mansion, which Is rented to the Sisters at
$1,000 year. including laundry, which Is situated
at the back OF the house, occupied as an asylum.
The institution was established In October 1S69

Fast Trotiing in America.

II was thirty-three year, ago on the
first day of last August that Dutchman
trotted three miles on the Beacon Court.
near Philadelphia, in 1921, Dutchman
was ridden by Hiram Woodruff, himself
one Of the best hor,emen the country ever
produced, ard in his well known work
ON "The Trotling llor,e OF America he
said that he believes that Dutchman
could have trotted the three mi es in
7:27 or better" However that might
have been, from that day until last Sat
urday, the time remained unequalled in
the annals of American horse-mcing.
A number of attempts have been made
at different times and by the different
horses to equal it, and, among others
the celebrated trotting mare Flora Tenn
pie was ,et 10 the task. She made two
trials in harness and failed both times
trotting three miles the first time, in
1860, in 1888, and the second time in
I: 43l. She failed as did the rest, on the
third mile.
On Saturday, at the Prospect Park
course, Mr.. Alden Goldsmith's hay mare
Huntress was matched against Dutch
mans time, and, strange tn say, surpass'
ell it by eleven seconds anda quarter, gning
over the three miles in harness in 7:2l J.
The present year has been memora'
BILE one among American horsemen, by
reason Of the great contests between
Longfellow and Harry Bassett. But the
feat of Saturday .urpasses t! E exploits Of
these running hor e., aud will remain As
a matter of record long after the name
of Longtellow, for whose m;sfortune'
every one feels personal interest, has
passed from human remembrance.

The Prospective Condition Of the

A Troy paper concludes an article on
"Woman's Rights" thus:
Truly. there's good time coming,
boys. We shall have our ''thirds" in our
wives property, and they will he bound
to support us and our children, and pay
our debts. There is bui one drop of
bitter in the prospective cup. 1t grinds
us to confess il, hut the humiliating con-
cession must be made-woman will carry

Life I'm a Printing Oaiee.

Few people are aware of the inside
workings of printing office, nor OF the
annoyances attendant upon the publica-
ton of newspaper. II is impossible to
form anything like correct idea Of the
number of men there are in every com
munity, who make it a point about every
other time they meet YOU TO tell you of
some important fac, that ought to be ne
,iced by the paper pro boio pubiieo. Gen
orally, however. it turns out that the
item referred TO has an az to grind, and
the newspaper Is to he the free horse on
which he expects To ride into public no
tice and confidence. Or il not that, he
Is constantly annoyed by multiplicity
Of communications. which are always
lengthy and contain nothing that any
body CARES to see 10 print or know any
thing Of whatever. except the writer and
perhnps one or two other particular indi-
yidsal,, and for whose exclusive benefit
Il WAS written, il not for moment occur
ring 10 the writer that communications
for a newspaper should be such as would
interest thousands Of readers. The news
paIsr business is very exacting on all
Connected with il, and the pay ia com
paatively small. The proprietor risks a
large amount OF money for smaller profits
and the editors and printers work harder
aud cheaper than the same number of
men in any profession, requiring the
given amount of intelligence and train
ing. The lite has its charms and pleas
ant associations scarcely known To the
outside world; hut it has its earnest work
and hours of exhaustion, which, likewise,
are not known to those who think the
business all fun. The idea that news
papordom is the charmed circle where the
/ ia, ored members live life of ease, free
from care, is mistaken one. Bu,iness
is business, aud the Journal that succeeds
is the one that is run ON square bust
ness footing, with the same system Us a
banking establishment.

Why Women are Extrayagant.

Somebody once said that the women
are 50 sstravagant in dress, and SO
Srlplcss in other respects, that none but
rich men can afl1rd to marry; and fool
ish people have been saying the same
thing. or something very like it ever
since. Every time a man fails in bu'i-
ness, people take a mental Inventory Of
his wifes wardrobe, and cry out: "Poor
fellow! he was ruined by her extrava-
gance"
No account is taken Of his club expen-
ses, or his unnecessary restaurant bhls,
or his fast horses, or the vanity which
prompted him to buy bigger or finer
house than hc>needed Nothing is said
of his dress-coats, made by some Mon
lsieur Snip who charges extra price be-
cause he calls himself an ''artist tailor. y
The kian may have gambled his money
away, or have lost it in reckless stock
speculation, for all anybody knows to the
contrary; while his wife, believing him
to he rich, has dressed and lived only as
his circumstances warranted, doing it,
too, only for hi sake, that he might not
be ashamed to introduce her as his wife.
Ors!if she has been rs extravagant as he,
the fault is his so long us the fact remains
that any proper man can lovingly con
troll the course Of any proper wife. Wo-
men are often extravagant. The fact
cannot be denied, But that they are
more 50 than men is by no means true.
As rule, every woman wishes tn live
within her husbands income, and in nine
families out of ten, all the economizing
is done by the wife. This constant tier
alton of the charge against women, how
ever, has secured kind of passive ac-
ceptance the theory, and nothing is
more common now than for young men
with salaries Of two or three thousand
dollars year to lament their inability u
marry, because women are 80 extrava'
CANT. One of these has recently told the
public through the newspapers how II
takes all his salary of two thousand dol
lars to support a single man, and looking
over his bills of items, and finding that
il takes fifty dolllrs worth of perfumery
every year, to keep hin sweet, we quite
agree with him that he should moi
marry. Hearth and Home.

An Optical Curiosity.

Here is a simple little experiment by
which we can prove the existence of a
blind spot in our eyes. Shut your left
eve, and with your right one look stead
ily al the cross just below, holding the
paper ten or twelve inches from the eye.
X o
Now move the paper slowly toward the
eye. which is fixed on the eros. Al
certain distance the other figure, the
letter o, will suddenly disappear, but
if you bring the paper nearor,.it will
come again into view. You may not
succeed with the experiment on the first
trial, but with little patience you cannot
hardly fail, and the suddenne,s with
which the black spot vanishes and reap
pears j. very striking. Now, examina-
ton has shown that, when il disappears,
its image falls exactly on the spot where
the optic nerve enters the eye, thus prov
ing that spot To he blind.

AsuoRT time ago we met gentleman
from Illinois who gave Us a piece of in
formation in regard to ascertaining the
age of horse, after he or She had passed
the ninth year, which was new 10 Us,
anl will be, we are sure, 10 most OF our
readers. 1t is this; After the horse is
nine years o'd wrinkle comes on the
eyelid at the upper corner Of the lower
lid, and every year thereafter he has
one well defined wrinkle for each year
over nine. If, for instance, horse has
three wrinkle, he is twelve; If four, he
is thirteen. Add the number Of wrin-
kles to nine, and you will always get il.
So says the gentleman, and he is conf
dent he will never fail. As good many
people have horses over nine, it is
easily tried. If true, the horse dentist
must give up his trade. - EIehonye.

as one is apt to imagine before the reason
is explained, but for the purpose of Sc
curing them. as far as possible, from the
grasp of climbing urchins who might he

reader will naturally ask, "What are

Meantime, while the Egyptians are ap-

to suppress it he has gotten himself pretty

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Western papers which are claim

that she will give Greeley plump 10000
majority by calling at the Office Of the
Trey Times.
In Cincinnati, few nights since, boy
was killed for shouting for his favorite
for the Presidency. As the affair didn't
happen in Kentucky. aud the boy wasn't
black, there was no arrest aud no excite
ment.
Greeley, when at Cincinnati, said:
"Let there be no prescription, but let us
all, white or black, unite to build up our
country"
The electoral table claimed for Grant
and Wilson embraces twenty-three States
certain, with two hundred and twenty
four votes.

hees in his speech introducing him de-
clared that "the speeches made by Mr..
Greeley during his present tour are with
