cloud upon the Kentuckians that
the Queen was destined to win the
heat, as she was going with all ease
and at very pretty stride. The
impression became a conviction
with some when an eighth further
on Ten Brock caught a whip
stroke. 1t was with much effort
that she was reached at the quarter
post, and for forty yards it was a
very hard run. 1t certainly APP
peared at this crisis that the mare
would win, and bets were offered
at heavy odds in her favor. Sud
denly, and to the overwhelming as
constituent of all, Ten Broeck's
colors were seen to CLEAN in the adj
vance, and the mare fell to the rear
almost without struggle. All this
occurred in so short a period that
when the second quarter was reached
Ten Brock led by as much as two
lengths. Now the uproar began.
The horse gradually heightened
out the Intervening daylight. 1t
was five lengths as they rounded
the curve, and ten lengths as
they went past the stand. Time,
5:53. Half way down the stretch
Mollie Mccarthy was struck by the
whip for the first time in her life!
1t was now all over so far as she
was concerned. Mr.. Harper, who
was standing in the door Of the
weighing room, sprang forward as
his horse came on, and shouted to
Walker to run for his life. The con-
fusion was now something terrific.
Mccarthy was seen to be out of the
race entirely, and Walker ran to
shut her out. The mare plunged
slowly on and did not give it up for
half a mile. She had stopped en-
tirely on the lower turn, just as Ten
Brock galloped slowly into the en-
brace of victory, winning the heat
and race in 8:198.

There was, of course, a grand
rush for the track at once. Mr..
Harper was taken off his feet and
carried by the crowd of yelling, hat
tossing men. The grand stand was
in state of Vesuvian eruption.
People screamed until their threats
refused to perform their functions.
The poverty of glory in the race
was not considered.

jockey proposed to bet $4,000 o.

never run again. His value in the
stud will be immense.

An Irish Test of Innocence.

Daring riot, known as ''the battle of
Magheracloon,' was suspected of hav-
ing killed a peasant upon my estate,
whom, in reality, the police had shot.
My wife happened few days after, while
driving in pony carriage, attended only
by single servant, to pass the chapel
where the riot had taken place, and being
stranger there, and ignorant of the roads,
she stopped near the chapel yard to in
quire the way to Carrcikmacross. A lady
driving herself in pony-phaeton was
not very common occurance IN those
unfrequented quarters, and as she con-
versed with the people who lived near
the chapel, crowd soon collected
around her. Having mentioned that she
was my wife, the recent battle became
Immediately the subject Of conversation,
and she, anxions to calm their feelings,
entered into the whole case, and allowed
them to tell her the whole story from be-
ginning to end; and she expressed deep
sympathy with them at the death of tho
unfortunate man who had been shot.
They seemed gratitied by her sympathy
and general kindness of manner, and by
her trusting herself alone in the midst OF
crowd of rather Withholding men at
such time, and at length one OF the part

We knew the song before the nest was ours; ;
We sang the song when first the nest we

Then sing the olden song to me to-night,

The intestine wars which so long de
vastated England were carried on under
the symbols of the Red and White Rose
The adherents of the House of Lancaster
chose the red rose as their mark of dis

white. This frarcidal war continued un-

OF Henry VII. with Princess Elizabeth.

When St. Patrick landed in ireland to
convert the Irish, in 432, the pagan in
habitants were ready to stone him. He
requested to be heard, and endeavored 70
explain God to them as the Trinity of
Unity; but they did not understand him
until he plucked a trefoil, or shamrock,
from the ground, and said, us it not as
possible for the Father, Son, and HOLY
Ghost to be one, as for the three leaves to
grow upon single stalk2" "Then,' says

How a Turks House is Divided

A Turkish house is divided into two
parts-the selamlik for the men, the
.haremlik for the women; and the latter
has as many separate suites Of apartments
as there are ladies. A Turk who has but
one wife may require large haremhk if
his mother and sister live with him, for
each of these ladies must have her pri-
vate set of rooms and servants for her sepa-
rate use. There must be no crowding and
no mixing of domestics in well ordered
establishment; so that if there be four
wives they need never see one another
unless they please. The first wife is called
the hanun, and takes precedence over the
others all her life. She has a right to
the best rooms and to fixed share Of
her husbands income, which he must not
reduce to minister to the caprice of his
Younger spouses. As these points have
generally been settled through the uIemas
or priests before the Wedding, a hanun S
iointure is as safe as that of a French
woman who has had contract drawn up
by a notary.
During the last twenty years monog-
amy has become more and more the
rule among Turks Of the highest class,
and even among those who have two or
three wives, the hanun has gradually
come to be regarded as having the same
rank as the wife in an English or Ameri-
can house She visits and entertains the
hanuns of other gentlemen, but keeps
aloof from wives Of the second and other
degrees. These are not equals in her
sight, being generally ladies of a lower
social status. who have not brought any
aowry to their husband. Time was when
pasha would take four wives of an
equal degree, all being daughters of the
other pashas or of the Sultan and all
richly portioned, but manners have alter
ed in this respect at all events, in the
European part of Turkey. 1t must not

ty said, "Maybe your ladpship would just
come yourself into the chapel yard. and
see the place where the dead man lay; it
sure you feel tenderly for the poor man
whose blood has been spilled by the po
lice" She was naturally unwilling to leave
her carriage and 90 into the chapel yard
amongst the tombstones and graves, es-
corted by the Withholding crowd Of
stranges, but they evidently wished for
and pressed it so much that she felt I'M
willing to disappoint or refuse them, and
having naturally high courage in any
difficulty or danger, she at once got out
of her carriage and walked with the peo-
pie to see the spot where the dead man
had Lain There was little heap of
straw living where he died, and both the
straw and ground under it were saturated
with his blood. Her courage came to her
aid, and she was able even in the midst of
the somewhat excited crowd to look
calmly down upon the sickening spec
tacle; and having again heard
them recount all the circumstances of
the battle, she quietly left the spot, look
ing steadily at the blood and straw as
she left-a secret though underlined feel
ing coming over her that she ought not
to quail oven at this painful sight, lest
it should appear to the people that her
husband had been guilty Of having spill
ed the blood. The peasants watched her
closely and attentively talked rapidly
amongst themselves in Irish for awhile
and then followed her silently from the
chapel yard, with softened, respectful,
and altered manner. They assisted her
into the carriage, crowding anxiously
around TO show her any little attention
in their power, and just as she was leav-
ing, enc of them said to her, in an earn

An Obtuse Man.

She was stylish young lady about
eighteen years old, and to accommodate
a friend she took the baby out for an
airing. She was wheeling it up and
down the walk, when an oldish man, very
deaf. came along and inquired for a GER
tain person supposed to live on that
street. She nearly yelled her head off
trying to answer him, and he looked
around, caught sight of the baby, and
said:
Nice child, that l suppose you feel
proud Of him."
1T isn't mire !" she yelled at him.
"Boy, Ell! Well, he looks just like
you"
cit isn't minev' she yelled again, but
he nodded his head and continued:
"Twins, eh! Where's the other one?'
She started off with the cab, but he
followed, and asked:
6 Did it die of colic?''
Despairing. of making him understand
by word of mouth, she pointed to the
baby, at herself, and then shook her
head.
:. Yes-ycs, see, 'tother twin in the
house. Their father is fond of them; of
course@o
She turned the cab and hurried thz
other way, but he followed, and asked:

looking very red in the face.

swered. tChildren brought up on the

She started on run for the gate, but
before she had opeLed it he came up, and
asked:
"Have to spank 'em once and awhile,
suppose"
She made about twenty gestures il
half minute, and he helped the cat
through the gate, and said:
sOur children were all twins, and | il
send my wife down to give you some adj
vice. You see" 81
But she picked up a flower-pot and flung
it at him. He jumped back, and as she
entered the house he called out:
"Hope insanity WON'T break out on the
twlns!''
