Gold smith Maids Greatest Feat.

On Friday afternoon about 1000 per-
sons were present at Belmont Park to
witness a double team race and an eff
fort of Goldsmith's Maid to exceed her
best previous time. The teams were
first called to the score. This race was
for a purse of S40O-S200 to first, $50
to second, ana $50 to third. The fol-
lowing teams started: S. m. Lady Pat
terson and b. m. Lady Jane; br. m.
Kitty Clay and blk. g. Gypsy; br. g.
Essex and bay mare; br. m. Matte
Lyle and b. g. Palmer. The first heat
was won by Matte Lyle and mate with
ease. The second heat was closely
contested by Matte Lyle and mate and
Kitty Clay and mate, but was won by
the former by half length. The
same team won the third heat with the
same ease as the first. Time, 2:41t,
2 :37t, 1884. At quarter past 4 Gold
smith Maid, accompanied by running
mate, got the word for the first heat.
She started well, and during the mile
made but two skips, and with but APP
parently little effort made the first mile
in 2:173. The second heat was beau
tiful one. From the word -''go" il was
evident that the mare would strain every
nerve TO retain her old prestige, and il
possible gain new laurels. She made
the first half mile in 1:06t without q
break, and on the home stretch she
skipped but once. She came under the
wire in 2:14, amid the plaudits of the
multitude. The third heat was trotted
without an effort to beat the second,
making it in 2:174.-PhilGdelphiG Led

The Danger Of Eating Too Much.


"Nobody ever repented of eating too
little" was the sage remark of an old
gentleman on the verge of ninety, next
to whom the writer had the pleasure of
sitting at dinner the other night. The
host was pressing him to take more and
urging him in his usual phrase, "Why,
you have eaten scarcely any thingi,'
Now, it is to be assumed that the old
gentleman's words indicated one of the
by-ways to good health, along which he
had travelled through his long life, and
to which he owed his present remarka-
bly, hearty condition; so it was sug-
gested to him interrogatively that he
had always been a light feeder. eyes"
he answered, " ever since | was two or
three and twenty; up to that time 1 was
weakly fellow enough, and used to
make the great mistake in trying to eat
and drink as much as | could, in the
hope of becoming strong. All my
friends and the doctors backed me in
my error; but fortunately found out

modern slang has it-more than half

and merely strove to make myself well,

Of one of the great secrets of life-the
secret of knowing when one has enough,

much better that used to find myself
keenly ready to eat a meal at any time,

have no need to be very particular as to
what eat, even at my time Of life;
have only to be careful not to eat toe
much" Here, indeed, is the great
secret of great deal that is amiss with
many of us. We are in the habit OF
eating too much, more than our digestive
powers can tackle, and that which is
not assimilated more or less poisons
The system becomes overcharged and
gives any latent tendency to disease
within us every facility for developing
itself. The question is not so much
what to eat as what quantity to eat, ant
nothing but sharp lookout kept by
ourselves can give us the answer.-IinS

A Too Ardent WOOer.

In q neat and comfortable appearing
frame house, on the left bank OF Turkey
Creek, has resided, for the past three
or four years, bachelor named Sam
Holzer, the possessor of a good hun
bred and sixty acres of land, with all
necessary implements for its utilization.
A few short months ago, he leased his
farm to family just arrived from the
East. In the new household dwelt a
maiden of unusual beauty and intelli-
gence for the far West, and the bach
elor resolved within himself that such q
flower should not bloom unprotected
and alone. Sunday after Sunday did
Holzer push his suit, and on asking the
momentous question, was gently yet
firmly refused by the young girl, who
informed him that she had no thought
of marriage, could not and would not
wed him. Holzer appealed to the
parents, but they declined to interfere,
saving that their daughter was free to
work out her own matrimonial problem,
her parents having done the same for
themselves years ago. The bachelor
expostulated, entreated, and went SO far
as to have a written article drawn up
for the old folks to sign, in which they
should agree to give him the girl, the
consideration being a large interest
in his farm. But the mountain rock
stands not more firmly than stood the
father and mother for their daughter.
Now thoroughly enraged, the bachelor
named the day aud hour at which he
would come and claim his wife. On
the Iday Eappointed for the nuptials,
Holzer was in this city, bedecked for
the ceremony, in his eye so near. Re-
turning home in the evening, he knock
ed at the door of his tenant, and said,
like Davy Crockett, he had "come to
claim his bride.'' Admittance was de-
MED him, and procuring a pitchfork,
Holzer burst open the door and plung-
ed in. The war now opened, and the
old folks dove in. High up on Holzer's
breast mounts the old man; to reach
higher is his ambition he gains the crest,
and a thousand thunderbolts shoots
forth from his strong right arm. From
the rear pours the enemy in overwhelm-
ing force, and Holzer's Waterloo is at
hand. He floats the flag of the van
ouished, and is allowed to retire, leav-
inc a sorry field behind. Holzer will
wear Grape for the next thirty days, and
received no more than he deserved.
The yictors were fined five dollars and
costs, which they do not lament, as it
NAV prove a useful lesson to the bronze
faced bachelor.-EnterpriSe (KS.) Ga

How to Treat SunstrOke.,

The report of the Sanitary Commit
tee of the Board of Health upon sun
stroke says: Sunstroke is caused by
excessive heat, and especially if the
weather is " muggy." It is more apt
to occur on the second, third, or fourth
day of heated term than on the first.
Loss of sleep, worry, excitement, close
sleeping-rooms, debility, and abuse of
stimulants predispose. It's much more
apt to attack those working in the sun,
and especially beCween the hours of II
O'Clock ia the morning and 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon. On hot days wear thin
clothing. Have as cool sleeping-rooms
as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all
unnecessary fatigue. If working in
doors and where there is artificial heat,
see that the room is well ventilated. If
working in the sun, wear light hat
(not black, as it absorbs heat, and put
inside of it on the head a wet cloth or a
large green leaf; frequently lift the hat
from the head and see that the cloth is
wet. Do not check perspiration, but
drink what water you need to keep it
up, as perspiration prevents the body
from being overheated. Have, wherever
possible, au additional shade, as thin
umbrella, when walking, canvas or
board cover when working in the sun.
When much fatigued, do not go to work,
or be excused from work, especially af-
ter II o'clock in the morning, on very
hot days, especially if the work is in the
sun. If feeling of fatigue, dizziness,
headache or exhaustion occurs, cease
work Immediately, lie down in a shady
or cool place, apply cold cloths to and
pour cold water over head and neck.
If any one is overcome by the heat, give
the person cool drinks of water or cold
black tea or cold coffee, if able to swal-
low. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge
with or pour cold water over the body
and limbs, and apply to the head pound
ed ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth.
If there is no ice at hand, keep a cold
cloth on the head, and pour cold water
on it as well as on the body. If the per-
son is pale, faint, and pulse feeble, let
him inhale ammonia for a few seconds,
or give him teaspoonful of aromatic
spirits of ammonia (hartshorn) in two
tablespoonfuls of water with little
sugar.-N. Y. Sun.

The ValHe OF o Trade

The old steTy of uncertainty OF riches
and the importance of learning trade
is brought to mind by the following,
which appeared in recent number OF
the New York Ledger: Karl Frostern,
the old nailmaker of Luben, in Silesia,
was a Jolly, storytelling man, who sang
at his work, and whose busy hammer
made merry music.
Not far away lived Herr Won Koben, a
wealthy land owner, whose only son,
when not at school, was wont to come
to the nailer's, where he would sit by
the hour and watch the bright sparks as
they flew in showers from the ringing
anvil. ''asl-. "o'4~ b ast-f-
"Come, Master Conrad" said the
mailer, one day, in jolly mood, "why
not set the world an example,? Show
them that the son of a rich man can
learn trade. Who knows but that it
NAV profit you one of these days?" .-.
The youth fell in with the humor of
the thing; and pulling off his fine
Jacket, he donned q leathern apron,
and went to the anvil. He was bright,
quick lad, and, when he had once at
tempted to make a nail, he had a pride
to make it well; and so it came to pass
that ere long he could make shoe nails
as deity and as well as could old Karl.
Time passed on, and Herr Won koben
died, leaving his great wealth to his
son Conrad. A few years thereafter
the armies of Frederick came sweeping
through Silesia, and Conrad's Inherit
ance was lost. In poverty he wander
ed away towards the mountains of Bo-
hernia, until he came to a town where
host of shoemakers were at stand
for want of nails. "Here," thought
Conrad sis my opportunity. Let US see
how my trade will serve me-"
And he told the shoemakers if they
would help him to shop and a forge he
would make nails for them. They fur
nished him what was required, and he
went at the work in earnest. He made
better nails than had ever before been
seen in that section. He took appren-
tees, and enlarged his shop, and in
time Won Koben's nails were demanded
on both sides of the mountains. By
slow but sure degrees he arose to opu-
lence as a manufacturer, hOnored and
respected as the founder of his own
fortune. And it all came, as he was
proud to tell his children in after years,
from his having learned a trade in his

In the atmosphere experienced here during the

takes away the desire for wholesome food, andre
quent preparations reduce bodily energy, particu-
larly those suffering from the effects OF facilitating
diseases In order to keep natural heslthful astiy

means. For this purpose sehenck's Ses Weed
Tonic is very efectual. A few doses will create
an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enerYated
body. For dyspepsia It Is invaluable. Many emf
nent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. Tbs Sea
Weed Tonic IN its nature Is totally different from

nature and supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic in
its nature much resembles the gastric juice that

Juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy
condition of the body, causes the food to be di-
gested and, when this juice is not excreted in suf
