Those Legs and tho Boot.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
I have often read and heard 1t stated that
Psychologist who is Psychologist, by being put in
possession OF bone or small portion OF skeleton,
can give very accurate dimensions OF the animal to
which 1t belonged. VIII this theory, or science,
hold good as to the human frame2 and has 1t been
applied to those ''egsh we have heard SO much
about in the Kelsey caseS Even If 1t should not
as to the leg bone, there may exist Sufficient dts
crepancy between that boot'' aud the foot, or Its
skeleton to satisfy al just people that those
'1egs" never belonged to Kelsey. II these should
prove a "1t' am aware 1t would prove nothing
materially; but marked discrepancy would prove
everything that the "tar party" could wish.

Marshal Bazaina,a Career.


Francis Achilles Bazaine was born in
1911. He received his education at the
Polytechnic school of Paris, and entered
the army in 1881. Next year he served
in Algeria, and in 1886 was promoted to
a ieutenancy, receiving the cross of the
legion of honor on the field of battle.
During the two years following he
fought against the Carlists in Spain,
and having been raised to the rank of
captain, returned to Africa in 1889,
where he saw long and active service.
In 1853 he had become brigadier-gen-
eral, and distinguished himself at the
siege of Sebastopol. He was again pro-
NOTED to be a general of division, and
In 1856 was appointed inspector of sew
eral divisions of infantry. He accom-
panied the expedition to Mexico in
1862, and in 1868 succeeded Marshal
Forey as its commander. He received
in succession the commandership and a
grand cross in the legion of honor, and
in 1864 was created marshal of France.
His career was one of distinguished,
though slowly won success, until the
revesses at Metz, in the French-German
war, which have proved his ruin.

A California Racer.

The Morning Call of San Francisco
has the following concerning Thad Ste
vens, the winner In the recent race A:
Thad Stevens, we are afraid, led a very
neglected life when colt. He vas so
ungainly, and promised 50 little as far
as his 80 points T" and performances could
be estimated, that for a tirne he was
ignominiously consigned to life of ser
vitude-was even broken to be a trotter,
and only made his name, now tolera-
bly, famous one, by a gradual exhibi-
ton of extraordinary powers On the
turf. His blood is good thoroughbred
although some people say ne has few
drops of tgnoble blood in his veins),
and he has a vital power perfectly mar
yelous in elasticity, and has staying
powers not less wonderful. Yet, in the
stable and out of it, amid the huzzas Of
multitude, or In quiet under the han Is
of his groom, old Thad is invariably as
docile and unexeited as a short-horn COW
Illuminating, and yet as much at com
mand as a steam-engine, bringing into
play energies that have never been over
stretched.
So promise-nothing was Thad in his
early career that the record of his life
is extremely meagre and unsatisfactory.
He viii attain nine years of age next
spring. Mr.. Lathrop bred him, having
given $500 for the use of his dam. As
! Thad rose into coIthood the expecta-
tions formed of him here dissipated
warmed to its natural point, resisting
like thin air, his gait in running Civ
ing no indication of the fine quail
ties he now possesses. He soon
passed out of the hands of Mr.. Lashrop.
AS three-year-old he was offered to
George Treat by the CANDLES, but
! George, who at that time had the Pioneer
track, declined to purchase. A year
afterward Treat bought Venture from
the CANDLES, and to clinch the bargain
they made him present OF Thad.
| Even at this period Thad showed him.
self indiferently on the turf, and was
regarded as a scrub animal, that might
I be turned to any kind of work. It is
certain that Thad's first notable trial as
a raee-horse was when NO other animal in
Treats stable could be obtained to fill
up, and on this occasion he passed IN
der the wire victor, beating Chandler
in two-mile and repeat. This race
took place over the Pacific track, and
it gave Thad his first honors. He had
run in one or two other contests, but
never successfully. The race with
Chandler occurred after his defeat at
Stockton, where little lameness threw
him out of the race. It is recorded of
him that he beat Compromise and
Bloomsbury In a two-miIe and repeat
race at Sacramento, but one of these
horses get lame and the other sulked so
that Thad, who never loses his temper,
had no difficulty in constituting himself
winner.

favorite mode of investment in some sections
of the country, particularly in Philadelphia
and its vicinity. BY means of the payments
that are only required monthly, many work
ingman or mechanic has been enabled from
his earnings to provide a comfortable home
for himself and family, who would otherwise
never have been enabled to raise the sum re-
quired to make the first payment to secure the
property. In order, however, to provide
against possible loss in case of death before
the payments are fully made, and the conse-
quent inability of the family to continue the
payments, the purchaser of a home in build
ing association should secure q policy of in
surance upon his life in a good company, by
means of which the property could be secured
to his family in case of his early death. One

GOOD YEAsT.-Boil handful of hops
and eight good-sized potatoes, pared, in
one gallon of water. The hops should
be tied loosely in a rag. When the
potatoes are done mash them thorough
ly or CRATE them, first pouring off the
liquor In another vessel. Pour the
liquor over the potatoes again when
mashed, adding one-half cup of sugar
and one-fourth cup of salt. Let it boil
minute, but stir to prevent sticking.
Use no -four, as it is more liable to sour
when -four is used. Pour off into an
earthern vessel to cool, and when nearly
cold add one cup of good yeast. In a
few hours it is ready for use. This
yeast viii keep sweet one month in the
hottest weather, If covered closely and
placed in cool cellar, and it makes
splendid bread if properly managed.
Bread should not be sailed where this
yeast is used. If preferred, this yeast
or part of it, may be made into cakes
and dried, which will last six months
though it is better to make fresh as
often as once in three months-by add
ing fresh corn-meal until stiff dough
is obtained. Work into q smooth roll
and slice with q knife into cakes one
half inch thick. Dry IN the open air,
but shaded from the sun.

EARLY PATENTs.-Persons interested
in patent matters, and who have been
properly astonished by the figures in
the last report of the commissioner,
may feel interested to know that the
first patent issued by the American
government was granted to Samuel
Hopkins on the Both of July, 1870, for
the manufacture of pot and pearl ashes.
The third granted was to Oliver Evans
of Philadelphia, so famous for his in
ventions in the line of high-pressu,e en-
gines, of whose invention President
Jefferson remarked that cit was too
valuable to be covered by a patent, and
there should be no patent for a thing
no one could afford to do without after
it was known" This was In the month
of December of the same year In which
Hopkins obtained his patent. For many
years after this date, the patent Office
was merely clerkship In the state de-
partment.

The Truth at Last.

An amusing incident of childish Au-
NOR used to be narrated by Mr.. Camp
bell, of Jura, the subject of it being his
own son. 1t seems the boy was much
spoiled by Indulgence; in fact, the pa
rents were scarcely able to refuse MIN
anything he demanded. He was in the
drawing room on one occasion when
dinner was announced, and on being or
dered upstairs to the nursery, he in
sisted on going down to dinner with the
company. His mother at first refused,
but the child persevered, and kept say
ing, IF ye diuna let me go, I'll tell
YOU" His father, then, for the sake of
peace, allowed him to go into the din
ing-room. He sat at the table beside
his mother, and when he found every one
getting soup and himself omitted, he de-
handed soup and repeated, IF I dinna
get some, I'll tell you" Well, soup
was given, and various other things
yielded to his opportunities, to which
he always added the usual threat of
"teIling you" At last when it came to
wine, his mother stood firm, and posi-
lively refused to let him have some.
He then became more vociferous than
ever about telling you, and as he was
still refused, he declared, ''Now I'll tell
you, and at last roared out, to the great
amusement of all present, "AIy new
breeks were made ont o. the auld cur
