GOLDSMITH MAID.

Inc IecGllU l6dU OIL the CtltDIdlbU
trotter Goldsmith Maid was an inter
eStlng one for hOrsemen. The track
used was at Belmont, near Philadelphia
After the first heat, which was made,
with running horse, in 2:l7 81, a
turn or two was made in the front of
the grand stand, and down came the
Maid on the quarter as she neared the
judges stand she SWerVed slightly to-
ward the centre of the track, and did
not seem prepared to start. Doble
eased her up kindly and gently, and
alter Wrenching out her mouth with
wet sponge and cooling her nostrils,
started down for the second attempt.
Again as she came to the stand did she
try to move toward the grand stand.
Her driver, however, Strengthened her
up, and took the word going like a
bullet from CreedmOor rifle. A light
skip was made near the first quarter
but DOble, with cOnSummate skill,
caught her up before break was
effected, and the first quarter was
reached in 33 -. Another skip after
the post was passed amounted to moth
ing, as the prince of drivers was de-
this was the heat to do it. The half
mile was reached in :06 ID. Another
skip before the three-quarter post,
DOble holding her down to her work as
firm as rock. The time was now 40,
and the excitement was intense. All
eyes were centered on the game little
empress of the turf, as closely pressed
by the running horse. With both
drivers yelling like Comanches on the
War-path, she came laundering down
the hOme-Stretch, DOble giving her
the whip, and using every endeavor to
bring out the full speed of the best
piece Of horsefiesh on the American
continent. Nearing the seats, every
body was on their feet, well assured
that a feat would be accomplished that
would be remembered to the last days
of their existence. When so yards
from home the elder DOble brought
up the runner alongside of the mares
Sulky wheels, and she crossed under
the wire in the marvellous time of 2:l4.
The judges at once placed the figures
upon the blackboard and displayed it
to the view of the audience, when a
wild, enthusiastic shout went up, the
stable boys tossing up sponges, pals,
and their hats in one general grand
hurrah. AS the Maid was driven back
to the stand, Doble's face was wreath
ed III smiles, and the intelligent ami
mai pricked up her ears and seemed
to appreciate the ovation quite as much
as the driver.
The applause continued until the
mare was taken out of the sulky and
walked to the stable. A third heat
was trotted in 2:l7 -, the mile being
made by good square trotting, without
even an attempt at a break. These
three heats are the fastest three con-
secutive heats made in the world. Budd
Doble says most emphatically that the
record will be lowered yet by the
Maid before the season is over.

4 TRUE HERO.

FElIadetpIla Ledger.
An instance Of remarkable self-cOn
troll and presence of mind under sud
den and intense suffering recently oc
CURED in Belgium. Two WOrkmen
were employed at Ville-sr- Ourthe in
fastening Il lightning-conducte at the
top of a steeple 20 feet from the
ground. One man stood at work upon
the shoulders of the other, and a sud
den gust of wind caused him to spill
some Of the molten lead he was using.
1t fell upon the hand and arm OF the
other, and he had the nerve to stand
still while the hot metal burned into
the flesh, as the slightest movement
might have thrown the man on his
shoulders to the ground. The hero
who saved this life deserves to be re-
corded, and we print his name below,
that if there he any emigrant in Amer
lea who recognizes it he may be proud
Of his countryman. TO face danger
deliberately for the safety of others is
high courage. But to do this while
suffering from intense pain, when
physical nature instinctively tlinches,
shows q degreee of fOrtitude as well as
courage which well deserves to be
called heroic. The name of this man
of nerve and courage is NJ. A. KariS.

When wheat is ripening there is
cause to fear, and this season more
than usual, that it may be destroyed
by rust, which comes when the grain
is in the dough and nearly ripe, and is
caused by water lodging on the heads
Of the wheat, either by rain or heavy
dew. followed by great heat which
causef the dough to sour, ferment, and
mold before the excess of moisture
has been driven off, as it sometimes is
by wind, or eyapOrated as it usually is
in cool days or nights.
The quantity of dough in kernel of
wheat is SO small that few hours
completes the process that in a loaf of
bread takes days or weeks. The flow
of sap being arrested, the rust shows
first on the stalk, the head looking
about as usual although inwardly rot
ten. This damage by rust NAV be
ly averted by few hours hard work.
Let the farmer with all hands turn out
at earliest dawn SO as to finish before
sunrise, or as soon as rain ceases if
during the day, hitch q horse or a man
to each end of long rope and, start
ing as far apart as length of rope will
permit, drag it across the wheat so as
to shake off as much of the water as
possible, and If time permits 90 over

ton. II the rope drags too heavily,
let men or boys hold it UP to the prop
