severe defeats. Next it was rumored that

public. The accommodating committee of
arrangements provided benches for the
ladies, and at an early hour on Monday
afternoon, the blue caps of the "Swamp
Angels" were moving about fresh for the

without incumbcrancc of extra wearing

Bathing Children.

Some mothers think, when their chill
dren get beyond two or three years of
age. the frequent entire bath can be
dispensed with. If some of the main
facts of physiology were we'll known
and understood, every one would per-
ceive that cleanliness of the skin Is one
of the conditions of good health. 1t
happens when bathing is disregarded
that the lungs, kidneys or bowels have
more thstn their own appOrtiOnment of
work. II these are strong and hea thy,
they NAV bear the tax with little appar-
ent injury, but, IN most cases, a lower
ing of the vitality and tone of the sys-
TEN ensues. Large bath-tubs Gre pleas
aut and convenient, but not indispensa-
BILE to the proper cleansing of the skin.
A speedy sponging of the body in pure
water, followed by friction IN pure air,
is all that is necessary. When disin-
clined to use water, find q thorough
application Of the flesh brush to the
whole person an admirable substitute !;
especially, on retiring, 1t relieves ner-
vousness, equaliZes the circulation and
induces quiet sleep. Mothers, above
all, should see that their children are

active and healthy, there viii not be
half the danger from fever, colds, and
eruptive diseases. If your little one Is

patton that pleases him, try the effect of
a bath sometimes it is magical, and, If

Pearl Fishing at CeylOn.

Pearl fishing on the northwest
coast of the island of Ceylon, in the
Indian ocean, has recently been recon-
menced after an interval of ten years,
previous to which the oysters mysteri-
ously disappeared from their acous-
toned beds, having, as it is supposed,
been destroyed by unknown enemies.
The following interesting description
of the fishery is taken from the Oeyion
Observer "The boats are divided
into three squadrons of fifty each, the
blue, the red, and the green, distin-
guished by flags of the different colors.
At twelve O'Clock at night signal gun
is fred, and the boats start for the fish
ing grounds, which are marked of by
buoys. At six O'Clock next morning
another gun is fired, and the diving be
gins. Take n boat and row around
these vessels, and you will see six or
eight men hanging on to the sides of
their boats, while ten others are en-
gagged in pulling mp ropes, to some of
which are attached baskets with oysters
in them, and to others a large stone.
The men hanging TO the boats side are
the divers, who remain IN the water for
six hours at a time, either clinging TO
the ropes or padding about. When
ready to dive, they place one foot in a
rope stirrup attached to large stone,
and quickly disappear from view. They
remain under water from sixty to sew
enty and even eighty seconds. On a
signal the stone is pulled up by a man
in the boat, and shortly afterward you
viii see two others pulling at another
rope, which brings up the basket in
which the oysters have been collected
by the divers, and, lastly, the diver HIM
self appears. These fishers, who are
for the most part Moormen, are a merry
set of fellows who 60 to their work
without the least symptoms of distress.
At noon the signal gun is fred again,
and the diving ceases, after which the
vessels return to the shore"

american Thoroughbreds.

Kentucky has been the seeding spot
for American thoroUghbTeds since the
soils and grasses declined In the worked
out parts of Virginia and Maryland.
The limestone of Kentucky give bone
to the animal; he natures early upon
the blue grass. The men of Kentucky,
bred to horseback, and adventurous
wagerers of physical spirit, have kept
up the turf for about sixty years, and
I believe that the Lexington course
dates back to the year 1913. The war
absorbed most of the thoroughbred
stock of the south to seat officers In
the saddle and toward the close of the
conflict we heard chiefly of Alexander's
stables. The Alexanders, as I have
heard, were a Scotch family with ex-
pectations of property In the old coun-
try. They owned Lexington and Aus
tralian, and raised stock. A Chicago
member of the family now keeps the
stables. In 1865 a number of rich
New Workers, brokers and operators, 4"
resolved to go on the turf. Leonard
Jerome, a nervy broker, formerly a
newspaper editor at Rochester, n. Y,
taking the cue from his partner, Will
liam Tracy, formerly of Baltimore,
founded the American Jockey club, af-
tST COuEbGb udti DCCu SbAaDl1sIBu aL sOAEA-
toga and Paterson, n. J. He used all
the influence to which his means and
acquaintance entitle him, and brought
into the turf August Belmont, his
friend, a correspondent of the Roth
childs, who had previously appeared
with great brilliancy on the English
turf. Belmont is generally called the
head of the turf in America, on account
of his position in the American Jockey
club, which is the ruling influence IN
turf matters in the United States, as
well as by his liberality in the purchase
and importationEof the best thorough
breds attainable, both from Kentucky
and England. jerome himself met with
heavy losses IN Speculation about 1867,
which necessitated the playing of
comparatively inferior position upon
the turf.
The establishment of the Saratoga
and Monmouth park courses, and ac-
cessories of Jerome park, transferred
the management of the turf from the
south TO the north-Kentucky itself
becoming a breeding and buying place
for the moro wealthy horse fanciers Of
the metropolis.

How the Grange Pays.


In the grange with which am con-
nected, during the past season there
was an actual saving, IN one quarter, of
S120 to the few farmers who purchased
implements. Now take the 10000
oranges and we have a total saving
ST 81, 400, 900 to the farmers of the
United States in three months. But
you will say at once that this amount is
not saved every quarter, nor by every
grange, nor do I say it is. Neither
does it cost the amount d. L. P. @. I"
has mentioned to run the oranges every
quarter. The cost of charters, seals,
regalia, ETC., is never imposed on the
grange but once. This would require a
deduction from his figures of over a
million of dollars, after the first quar-
ter.
We not only consider it a paying in
stitution to us on account of its fnan-
cial benefits, but we, as a class, have
begun to consider the social influence
of the organization. We cannot deny
that we are far behind the city in regard
TO social life, for we have never had the
opportunity of mingling together, and
educating ourselves IN that sphere.
Thus it has not only proved itself to be
a safe for our pockets, but also store
house for our minds. Cincinnati Times.

GaIileO's Telescope.

In the year 1909, Calico relates, he
first heard from a friend in Flanders
that an instrument had been invented
by which distant objects were brought
near and the powers of vision extended.
He resolved at once to initiate and sur
pass it. By his singular mechanical
dexterity, his knowledge of optics, and
his highly polished glasses, he was soon
able to produce telescope before which
the Dutch instrument sank into neglect,
aud was forgotten. Tt was never more
heard of but a thrill of wonder passed
over Italy and Europe when it was
known that the famous Paduan profess
or had prepared an optic glass that en-
larged the bounds of vision and endowed
mankind with new powers. The charm
of SURPRISING novelty covered the Won
derful Invention with an unprecedented
renoWn. The great and the learned
conteuded for the possession of the new
instrument. GalileO carried his tele-
scope to Venice, and from the tallest
bell towers senators and mobiles saw
through the magic glass great srgosles
sailing far out at sea, and the distant
shores brought near and made visible.
All the value of the new instrument
broke at once upon their minds; IT
must change the principles OF military
strategy, and diminish the perils of nav
igation. Magistrates, senator's and clti-
zens covered the fortunate inventor with
applause. With discreet courtesy Cali
leo presented his telescope to the Doge
at a friendly audience, and the Vene-
tians at once raised his salary tt a thou
sand fiorins. Covered with honors and
enaoluments, he returned to Padua,
little conscious OF the surprising dis
coveries that yet awaited him IN the
silent heavens, or of the pains and woes
he was destined to bear in his later
years from the heretical revelations Of
his too truthful and fatal telescope.
