HAMBLETONIAN.
End Of the IIIUStriOus Career of DexGcr's
Sire.

Sire.
The celebrated stallion HambIetOnian,
which died ut Chester, New York, March
2Sth, was foaled May 9Th, 1919, at SUI
gar Loaf, near Chester, Orange county,
New York. When five weeksoId he was
purchased with his dam for 1925, by Mr.
William NJ. Rysdyk, Mr.. Jonas SeeIey
being the original owner. Since the time
of this purchase the horse has been con-
LinuOUsly the property of the Rysdyk
family, and was at the time of his death
owned by Mrs. Rysdyk. When three
years old the horse had been harnessed
but four times. At this age he trotted
at the Union course, Long Island, in
2:183. 1t was his first appearance on a
track, and he was very shy of the track
fence. For this reason his owner did not
probably get his best speed. HambletO-
niaH was early put to the stud. When
two years old he was bred to four mares,
three of which produced and two of the
colts lived to trOt in $50. The famous
Abdallah stallion, owned by Mr. Alex
ander, of WOodburn farm, Kentucky,
was one of these. " hen three years old
HambletOnian had covered seventeen
mares, thirteen of which produced foaIs.
| From this time he was devoted exclu-
| sively to the stud, and became the pro-
| genitOr of many of the best trotting
| horses of America, and may be said to
| have done more than any other horse to
| improve American trOtting stock.
| Among his most illUstriOUs descendants
| are Dexter, George Wilkes, Bruno, BrU-
nette, Mai. Winfield, Volunteer, Shark
| the stallion Jay Gould, Florida, and
| Happy Medium. He was altogether the
| father of about 800 horses. He stood
| for $500 a season, and was generally linn
| tied to seventy mares. As long ago Il;
| 1866 he had Melted for his owner over
$4,000, and he was kept in active ser
vice until his death, earning annually
nearly $50, 900. HambletOnian was thu
son of Old Abdallah. Young Abdallah
Abdel Kader, bred in 1917 by Cornelius
! Davis, and Rather were his half-bTOth
ers. His pedigree was as follows: Ham
bletOnian, bay horse, foaled May ;, 1919
by TreadwelPs ga bdalIah, dam, the Charlie
Kent mare second dam, One Eye; thir,
dam, Silver Tail. He was a clOsely-in
bred horse on both sides. Mr.. Rysdyk
his second owner, died in 1872, and mad
provision in his will that Hambletonia1
should upon his death be stuffed AM
; presented to the commissioners of Cen
trail Park. As it was the wish of his lat
owner, Mr.. Rysdyk, that the horse shoul
E be buried on the estate, a grave was dU
I for him in the afternoon behind the bar
! where he lived 50 long. A large box wa
made for his body, and he was burie

The Centennial Show.

The New York Mail says of the COM
ing Philadelphia exposition:
Only a fifty cent note will be received
for admission. No change will be re-
ceived, made or given by the honest
men at the door.
The queens pictures are TO be guard
ed day and night by a squad 0 police
men. They are said TO be heavily in
sured in eight different English COM
panies.
The parties who got the catalogue
have a big bonanza. The advertise
ments will pay nearly seventy-fOur thou
sand dollars, and this is exclusive of the
sale of the book on the grounds.
There are now some doubts as to
whether everything will be ready at the
appointed time. These doubts are al
most wholly confined to disinterested
spectators.
1t is feared that there will be too
many fees exacted on the grounds, and
that foreigners will have barely enough
left to pay their hotel bills and get
home.
A Philadelphia paper says "a polite
Justice will sit on the grounds cOntinu-
ally" Why not let him up now and
then to exercise his legs and relieve the
grounds?
Give the hotel keepers a wide berth.
They have made up their mind to
swindle you, and they will if they pos
sible can. Go to a bording house, or,
better still, visit some relative.

The standard remedies for all diseases Of the lungs
are SCIENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's SEA

PINT THE BEST SEED.

Many farmers no doubt wonder how
it is when they have bought a new kind
of seed (wheat for instance) that in a
few years it has lost its excellence, and
that they have an opportunity of buying
choice article again at high price.
The query is, where does it come from
That work will tell" is a safe axiom.
Take our advice, when your wheat is
ripe go over the field and hand-pick the
best heads. Plant this, and repeat the
process every year, and you will have an
excellent seed wheat for sale. The same
will prove true in corn, and in fact every
crop. Possibly the potatoes do not de.
pend so much upon the perfective quail
ity Of seed planted, but we believe it Is
a rule that should never be deviated from
to plant all seeds from the most perfect
Of their kind. Experiments have proven
that seeds, like stock, are improved no
by frequent changes, but by great car,
in propagating the best.

The UNFORTUNATE Children.

The inmates Of the best reformatOry
school in England, as was proved by the
report submitted to parliament, give evil
dence of the want Of domestic training,
the lack of the thousand little tender
nesses, sacrifices, even the childish SQUAD
bles of home life, at the institution; the
girls come out of these mills at eighteen,
hard, callous, morbid, totally unfit for
any work in a family or for the care OF
children; the boys equally hard, but re-
bellious; and in both were seen a defiance
of the world, either dull or fierce, the in
evitable result of long compression under
memorable rules.
The child has never had its own rag

nov TO SIZE CLOVER SEED.

The first requisite is to have n good
field of clover, so yn on clean land, and
clear of weeds. This will make all the
difference between clean and foul seed.
Some weeds are comparatively harmless,
while others may make years of work to
eradicate. The next year after seeding
the field to clover, let IL be cut down
closely about the time of its first bios
soming, which at the north Is about the
middle of June. 1t may be cut for hay,
or it may be Pastured closely. The first
mode is rather the most reliable. A sec
ond growth will spring up and bear an
abundant and even crop of blossoms,
which will ripen seed early in autumn.
The proper season for cutting is indicated
when most of the heads have become
brown. There are different modes used
for cutting. One is to cut the crop with
4 moving machine, rake 1t into quite
small cocks, which are to remain a few
days, the drying being assisted by occa-
sionally turning them over, as examine
ton may indicate Another and more
systematic way is to take a combined
moving and reaping machine, put on the
platform, sharpen the knives well, and
then with a good hand-raker keep the

SILENT MUSIC.

J..
standing to-day by the great church organ,
thought, how strang if a thing so gran
should lie forever and ever silent,
Waiting the touch of a master hand;
Never sound could the strong lungs utter
Never an echo of melodies
Unless the fingers of some musician
Should fall on the snowy keys.
AM thought Of the hearts so like the organs
Hearts that are aching with silent pain,
because their strings are buTdened with music
ANA they cannot utter a single strain;
And the world looks on and never guesses
ne sounds that would be sweet and grand
II the master keys could only answer
10 the touch Of master hand.
Sounds that are sweet as the angels paans,
Notes as glad as the tbrushes sing,
Are hid in those silent hearts forever
waiting the masters lingering.
Stern-iaccd men and sad-eyed women
silently walk through this veil of doubt,
Whose hearts are trimming with Heavens music
But no hand brings il out

RerfYnIs and ErangcIfsts.

DIR. Holland, in an article in Scribncr
for April, speaks a good word for Moody
and Sankey and their methods, but con-
dennis the ordinary itinerant "evange-
lists" He says: There is a class of evan
gelistS who 90 from church to church, of
whom most clergymen are afraid; and
their fears are thoroughly we'll grounded.
There arises, we will say, strong rcli-
giOus interest in church. Everything
seems favorable to what is called a re-
vival." Some well-meaning member
thinks that if Mr.. BedlOw cOUlu only
come and help the fatigued pastor, won
derfuI results would follow. The pastor
does not wish to stand in the way-is
suspicious that he has unworthy preiu-
dices against Mr.. BedlOw-tries TO over
come them, and Mr.. BedlOw appears.
But Mr.. BcdlOw utterly ignores the con-
ditiOn of the church, and, instead of SEN
sitively experimenting it and adapting
himself to the line of influences already in
progress, arrests everything by an at
tempt to start anew, and carry on opera
tions by his own patent method. The
first movement is to get the pastor and
the pastors wife and all the prominent
members upon their knees, in a confess
sion that they have been all wrOng-mis-
erably unfaithful to their duties and
their trust. This is the first step, and, OF
course, it establishes Mr.. BedlOw in the
supreme position, which is precisely what
he deems essential. The methods and
controlling influences Of the church are
uproOtcd, and, for the time, Mr.. BedlOw
has everything his own way. Some arc
disheartened, a great many are excited
and the good results, whatever they may
seem to be, arc ephcmeral. There inev
itably follows a reaction, and in a yeaI
the church acknowledges to itself that il
is left in a worse condition than that il
which Mr.. BedIow found it. The minis
ter has been shaken from his POise, the
church is dead, and, whatever happens
AIr. Bedlew, still going through his pro
cess elsewhere, will not be invited there
again.

WHY was one hundred and ninety

WHY was one hundred and ninety-six
pounds selected as the weight of a bar
rel of flour? Because weights formerly
computed by tons of two thousand two
hundred and forty pounds, hundred
weights by one hundred and twelve
pounds, quarters, etc, and a quarter
being one quarter of a hundred weight
or twenty-eight pounds, and seven quar-
tiers, or one hundred and ninety-six
pounds, being the limit that could be
conveniently handled, this weight was
adopted by statute in England under a
heavy penalty for its violation.
