The New King of the Turf.

Not having seen the great race, the
next thing was to SEQ the victorious
racer so to-day / drove ont to call
upon Fellowcraft. Fellowcraft is nv
gentle as little dog, and submitted to
being kissed and patted with u quietness
that almost became patroni2ing conde-
scension. He has not proud air, how
ever, like some of the racers of his
family, notably his uncle, Asteroid, who
always strikes an attitude when visitors
epproach him. Fcllowcraft looks rather
meek, but yet has an all OF determine
tion, rs if conscious that when things
become serious he would show who was
who. He is II chestnut, and has some
of the Lexington marks, a pair of very
long white stockings on his hind legs,
and good sized star on his forehead.
His name and tail are decidedly blonde,
lust the red-yellow With which the
blonde of the period has familiarized
us. He had on his travelling clothes of
red flannel, but one of his attendants
kindly removed his bonnet to show his
face. Fellowcraft hart himself not a
whit in the race ; he came in-those
present Mt the finish told me perfectly
fresh, and looking as if he could run
another four miles. He ate good
SQUARE meal, full rations, as soon as it
was offered him after the race, and no
better sign of health can horse evince.

down, to peep into the dining, halls,
inspect the musicians and their in
struments, and otherwise indulge their
curiosity. II must have been an extra
ordinary sight to most of them. The
royal pantries, eXtemporlaed out of the

especially, and even the empty dish
had its interest for them until the viands
began to appear. BY twos and threcs

Railroads and panics.

MIR. Thomas Tooks, in his History
of Prices" attributes the recent pan'c
in this country to the fact that too much
Of our floating capital had been convert
ed into fixed capital in railroad enter
p.ises. and asserts that this was the
cause of the financial crisis in England
in 1917. England recovered rapidly
from the shock, and the United States,
he predicts, will soon do the same thu :.
Tho Railway Monitor divides the RI l.
road development in this country mo
three stages. and shows that Mr.. TOoFs'
theory holds. The first period, between
1929 and 1Si9, but 1866 miles OF rail-
road were built; even this slow pro2re is
was too much for the financial streng h
Of the country, and the railroad pro
iectors were rrined. Then the simul'a-
neous flow of gold from California and
Australia infused fresh strength into 10
civilized world, and at the end OF tie
next period, in 1859, the railroad mie-
age was 2S, 7S9 miles. The third period,
which closed in 1873, found total OF
II, 565 miles of railroad, and tue
strength of the country is again ex-
hausted. The present conditions differ
from those. of the first period. Theu
we had the life-giving flow from tie
gold. mines now we are struggli ~
against the perilous excitement OF Ia
per-money initiation. The Monitor cen.
cludes that for many years to come the
ext nsion Of our railroad system must
stop. In the hurry OF speculation the
work has been poorly done, and the re-
sources of the country must be expended
in bettering what we have instead OF
adding to it. This advice is sound,
and probably indicates the railroad pol
icy of the country for some time to
come, for the reason that it is about tho
| only policy left.

Sheen and Wool Report.

According to the tables given in the
department report Of agriculture, We
find that the states in which the greatest
increase has taken place are Kansas,
which is rated at SO on every 100; Cali
fornia, II: Maine and Texas, which are
each set down at s; Michigan, set down
at an increase of 9 on the 100. Kansas
in 1870 had only 7,569 sheep, so that
doubling her sheep would not make the
whole number more than there is in one
of our third rate sheep-growing coun'
ties. But adding two per cent. to the
sheep in Michigan is different affair,
as it adds "a, 900 head to the state. But
then we find that New York has shrunk
three per cent, or that during the year,
if her stock of sheep was equal IN num-
Der to the number reported by the cen
sus of 1870, this state has lost 1854,
or three times the amount that Michigan
has gained.
California is reporte as having gained
seventeen per cent. on her number OF
sheep. Sheep have increased so fast
in thar state since 1870 that it would
hardly be fair to set her figures for 1872
by the census of 1870, which places the
number of her sheep at LOSS, ,OO2, OF
less than Michigan in that year. Her
wool being mostly sold in the unwashed
state. however, and estimated in 1872 at
&c, ,OOO, 900 pounds, or equal to the pro,
duce OF 5000, 900 sheep, an increase OF
seventeen per cent would be equal tc
100000 head, or the production of an
increased crop of unwashed wool OF
3 ,O6O, 900 pounds. The state OF Ohio is
set down as making no change,

EauinoctiaI Storms.

Fhere is a popular delusion that a
three days storm is inevitable when
the sun crosses the line in the lat
ter part of March AMI September,
and the unsettled state Of the weather
at this period, which usually eliminates
in showers of some duration, is always
spoken of as the "equinoctial storm, 7"
According to Professor Loomis, OF
Yale college, however, the equinox has
very little to do with the storms, and
excepting that the weather is generally
unsettled by the changes which are
taking place in the atmosphere, therels
no more likelihood OF q storm dpon
the day that the sun crosses me iihe
than upon any other day o. me year.
So much for one of our popular the
ories, which, like our popular s9persn-
tions, obtain a, stronger hol1 upon
the public pmd than the strongest
facts In tne light Of this truth i Is
NOT diaicult to account for the length Of
time centuries, perhaps = which

tablish a scientific truth nor can we
measure our indebtedness 20 the men
who devote their lives to Discovering
facts in nature and art, and establishing
them upon a scientifc-thpt Is, o real

The beauty that had made Filth Z

when it was the home.light after biz
days of college work. In her quiet
dresses, without ghttering gems, Edith
was as lovely as she had ever been in
her costly ball Or dinner toilettes and
the little hands that could rest idle in
luxury, glitter with valuable rings, and
flash over the piano keys, were busy
from dawn to sunset in the homework
that women find ever waiting them.
Edward Lancaster was never very
poor, and Edith never knew again the
wants and cares of her girlhood but
the wealth he had lost was not restored,
and never regretted. By its loss he had
learned his wife's heart deprived of
that, he found the treasure of happy,
domestic life, and in his new duties he
found the pleasure of making the knowl-
edge he loved useful to others.
The professor had been two years in
