The Editor Of the New York Herald
Wins a Foot Race.

James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of
the Herald, has figured both as yacht
man aud u pigeon shooter. He eutered
on Tuesday a new field, that of pedes
trlau, and won race against a young
lawyer, named John Whipple. The bets
were $4,000 side, aud the walk was
from Benuett's residence, corner of Twen.
ty eight Street and Fifth Avenue, to
Jerome Park, a distance Of ten miles.
Bennett had previously no reputation
aDcng his acquantances as walker,
while Wipple was well known for his en-
durance. The club friends of the two
contestants bet, therefore, largely on the
latter. Bennett went Immediately into
training and for ten days had been trying
his speed. He made an experimental
walk between the two points in one hour
and forty-two minutes. Whipple did not
think it worth while to train until three
days before the contest, VIXEN he heard OF
Benefits performance. The pair started
at seven, Bennett wearing dark pautaoons,
striped linen shirt, and yellow jocky
hat. He is tall wiry man of thirty
three, with long stretch. Whippls is
short and compact, and of the same age
He wore a sailors shirt Of dark blue, dark
pantaoons and a cap of black silk He
walked with short, quick step, gave his
frame little motion and used his arms
lightly. Bennett initiated the English
pedestrians. His arms were akin 30, his
hands we're held on level with his head,
and his shoulders played actively The
two kept pretty well abreast for the first
mile, though Bennett would occasionally
spur ahead and give his opponent extra
exertion to catch him. The first mile
was made in seven minutes and nine Sc
conds; the second 10 seven minutes and
eighteen and three fourth seconds Ben
nett then began to lead, and Whipple to
loose heart. Between One hundred and
seven and Que hundred and eight streets
he stumbled and fell, complaining of
pain in his side. He rested two minutes
and again started. Bennett, however,
kept ahead and made Jerome Park en-
trance, nine miles and seven furlongs, in
one hour, forty six minutes and fifty FIVE
seconds. Whipple reached the gate six
minutes AID fifty five seconds behind
him. His friends say that he was not in
condition, and desire to bet Oh him upon
! future occasion.

How They Drop Shot.

A reporter of the Baltimore american
thus describes one of the many processes
Of making shot in one of the shot towers
Of that city: One of the "secrets" Of the
manufacture is the mixing Of the lead
with certain proportion OF combina-
ton of mineral substance called "temper"
is fused with the lead, and gives the mol
ten metal that consistency which makes
it drop. If it were not for the "temper"
the lead would be moulded by the selves,
and would form little pencils instead of
round shot When BIB shot, for in
stance, are to be made, the lead is poured
into pan perforated with holes CORES
ponding to that size. The little pellets
come pouring down in continuous show
err, and fall into tank flied with water
on the ground floor. Iu their descent Of
200 feet they become perfect spheres,
firm and dense, and they are tolerably
cool when they strike the water, although
the swift conclusions make the tank foam
and bubble as if the water was boiling
furisously. The shot must fall in water
for if they would strike any frm sub
stance they would be fattened aud knock
ed out of shape. To get the little pellets
perfectly dry after they have been in the
swell" is the most difficult and trouble
some process of the man Dufacture. An
elevator with small bnckets (very much
like those used in -four mills) carries the
shot up as they reach the bottom of the
"well, and deposits them in box sixty
feet above the first floor The water drips
from the buckets as they 60 up and not
much is poured into the receiver above
although it is intended to be a sort of
dripping machine. From this receiver
the shot runs down a spout into dry pan,
which greatly resembles a gigantic shoe
made of sheet iron The pan rests at an
angle which permits the wet shot to roll
slowly down to the chamber below, and
the pellets become perfectly dry as they
pass over the warm sheet iron.

Rats Upon Farms.

From nay own experience estimate
that the damage done by the rats upon
any one farm is equal to what would be
consumed By pair Of horses. That this
damage is not prevented simply shows
that man knows less than rat [ found
it so, and gave up attempts to trap or
poison them, In consequence OF repeated
defeats. But in self preservation | was
obliged to discover some means Of getting
rid of them and finally concluded that to
destroy their haunts was my best plan
| therefore "carried the war into Africa
too" as | might say My first movement
was to open all the underpinnings of my
buildings, and where they were less than
foot from the ground to raise them at
least Is inches. Instead of having the
floors of my sheds and pens laid upon
sleepers, which rested upon the ground,
and thus furnishing the most secure hid
ing places for the vermin, | placed them
upon sills and joist, which rested upon
short posts, in short, | let daylight 10
everywhere. The granary was made so
that could pass around the bins, and
the barn was arranged so that the drive
ways and everything about was open to
daylight and the cats. The most vulner
able point, the corn crib, raised upon
posts, each Of which was capped with
tin pan placed bottom upward, and re
moved it three feet from the fence, with
in foot of which it formerly stood
Then the long familiar squeak beneath
the floor was heard no more, and the rats
that formerly came out when the pigs
were fed and joined in the feast, had
gone their little game was up. As for
the mice few Of them remained about
the barn but as soon as they left their
hiding places they were picked up even
by the fowls, and it was not long before
some of my light Brahmas became excel
lent mousers. La short, by removing
every hiding place, permitting no rub
bish to lie ar0uud, and by preserving per-
feet neatuess everywhere, [ soon got rid
of every rat which formerly infested my
premises. Where they went | do not
know exactly, but expect they found
plenty of room and agreeable darkness
around my neighbor's barns and sheds

When Not to do it.

Look well to the time of doing an ything;
there is a time for all things Choose
the right time for saying things. IF your
wife looks wearied aud worn out, be sure
that it is not the right time to tell her
that the dinner is not hot, or that the
bread is sour. Comfort her; cheer her
up. Use the ten thousand little stratage ms
you were wont to handle so skillfuly in
the old days, to bring out the smiles
around her lips.
IF you are annoyed or vexed at people,
just remember it is not the right time to
speak. Close your mouth, shut your teeth
firmly, and it will save you many useless
and uuavailing regret, and many bitter
enemy.
If you happen to feel little cross-aud
who amongst US does not at some time or
other, do not select that season for reprov.
ing your noisy household flock One
word spoken in passion will make scar
that summer of smiles can hardly heal
over.
If you are wife, never tease your hus
band when he comes home weary from
his days business. 1t is not the time
Do not ask him for expensive outlays
when he has been talking about hard
times; it is most assuredly the wrong
time.
If he had entered upon any undertak-
ing against your advice, do not seize 10
the moment Of its failure to say, Il told
you SOL" In fact, it is never the right
time for those four monosylables.
Ifpeople only knew enough to diserimi
nate between the right time and the
wrong, there would be less domestic
unhappiness, and less silent sorrow, and
less arrangement of hearts The greatest
caamities that ever shadow our lives have
sometimes their germ in matters ap
parently slight as this. If you pause,
reader, before the stinging taunt or the
biting sueer, the unkind scof passes your
lips, pause just long enough to ask your
self, "is it the right time for me to
speak 2" you would shut the door against
many heart ache.
The world hinges on small things, and
there not many more trivial than the right
time and the wrong.

Taking off the Shoes.

In Syria the people never take off their
caps or turbans when entering house or
visiting friend, but they always leave
their shoes at the door. The reason is
that their floors are covered with clean
mats and rugs, and in the Moslen houses
the men kneel on the rugs to pray, and
press their foreheads to the floor, so that
it would not be decent or respectful to
walk in with dirty shoes to soil the sijjady
on which they kneel to pray. They have
no foot mats or scrapers, and it is much
cheaper and simpler to leave the shoes,
dirt and all, at the door.
1t is very curious to 60 to the Syrian
school houses and see the pile of shoes at
the door. There are new bright red
shoes. and tattered shoes, and kob. K obs,
and black shoes, and sometimes yellow
shoes. The kob kobs are wooden clogs,
made to raise the feet out of the mud and
water, having little strap over the toe
to keep it on the foot. You will often see
little boys and girls running down steps
and paved streets on these dangerous kob
kobs. Sometimes they slip, and then
down they 60, on their noses, and the
kob kobs fly off and go rattlng over the
stones. and little Ali or Yusef. or what
ever his name is, begins to shont, va
Imme! Va Imme!" 20 my mother -
and cries just like little children iu other
couhtries.
But the funniest part is to see the boys
when they come out of school and try to
find their shoes. There will be fifty boys,
and of course a hundred shoes, all mixed
together in one pile. When school is out
the boys make rush for the. door, Then
comes the tug of war. A dozen boys arc
standing and shutting on the pile of shoes,
looking down, kicking away the other
shoes, running their toes into their own,
stumbling over the kob kobs, and then
making dash to get out of the crowd
Sometimes shins will be kicked, and hair
pulled, and tarbooshes thrown of, and
great screaming follow, which will only
cease when the teacher comes with Asa"
or stick, and quells the riot That pile
of shoes will have to answer fer a good
many school boy fights and bruised noses
and hard feelings in Syria. You will
wonder how they can tell their own shoes.
So do l. And the boys often wear off
each others shoes by mistake or on pur-
pose, and then you will see Selim running
with one shoe on and one of Ibrshim's S in
his hand, shouting and cursing Ibrahirs s
father and grandfather until be gets back
his lost property.

Making Him Pay.

The following story, which has never
been printed, is indicative of the senti-
ment of the California merchant on the
subject of John Chiuaman The scene
is laid in San Francisco The merchant
is calmly waiting for customers to drop
in, when there appeared in the street
long column of All Sins and Chang Loos.
Arriving in front of the store, slowly,
and with measured tread, they range
themselves along the sides Of the apart
ment, when the following conversation
ensues: !: Chang Lo- Have you got any
cotton twinee 7" Merchant "Yes"-
How muchee chareee ?" "A dollar

fence would be given to the gentleman
who has served threo years by placing
him In a less prominent position at the
table than the gentleman who has been
an ambassador or other dignitary for only
two years and eleven months. To Mr..
Luckley, one of the Presidents secreta-
ries. is assigned the delicate duty of ar
ranging guests at the table properly, and
the amount of labor the accom- plishment
him is by DO means small. After the
guests have accepted invitations, Mr..
Luckley, by dint of much careful study
of official prejudice, selects the different
positions each is to occupy at the Presi-
dental board. He makes diagram of
the table, and places in a little slit the
name of the person who is 20 occupy each
particular seat. This is sent to the proper
official, who places on the respective plate
the bill with the name of the party who
is to sit near it. Mr.. Luckley then places
in small envelope the name of each
gentleman invited, with another card,
upon which is written the name of the
lady whom he is to escort to dinner
These envelopes are given to the gentle
men as they arrive, and each is supposed
to be perfectly delighted with the prize
he has drawn. BY this means, the enGs,s
are allotted places and partners suitable
to their..rank, while no ones appetite is
lessened by being assigned an improper
