cramped. A horse with a shallow
chest is worthless for any purpose.
The rule then is this: For draught
horse. a circular but deep chest; but,
as you pass through the different de-
grees OF speed up to the racer and
trotter, the chest will increase in
depth, compared to its roundness,
until, for the highest rate OF speed,
you must take a chest as deep as a
greyhound, and at the same time not
lacking in strength.-PrGirie Farmer.

Chance for John Chinaman to Get Even

The Chinese report new discoveries
OF gold in Northern China, and a Cal
ifornian has been employed to explore
the mining region and report as to
the extent and valuation Of the
mines. The possibilities wrapped up
in this announcement have a vague
and uncomfortable suggestion for the
California adventures. Suppose
they should stream over to the Chi

way to Texas, dressed, when Jarman
first saw him at Nacogdoches, like an
Indian, out and out.
THE DISTINGUISHED PART PLAYED
BY HIM
in the Texan war of independence
against Mexico, in 1886, is conspicu
Gus matter of history. His election by
little revolutionary juucta to the
post of Commander in Chief, in the
face of the invading Mexican army un-
der Santa Anna, seemed to turn the
scale of success in favor of the hard
pressed Texans. On the plains OF San
Jacinto, April 81, 1886, General Hous-
ton won the independence of Texas
and cast off the Mexican yoke. 1t
was the grand event of his adventure
GUS life. He lived to see the young
empire he loved so we'll wage war
with the Federal Union of States.
But'he plead with the people Of Texas
to avoid the step and not raise their
hands against a Government under
which he had SO long lived and fought
The General foretold the result if the
South made war against the Federal
Power, but his voice was UNDECIDED
until two years after his remains were
placed under Texas sod, his words
came true-too terribly true, when the
Confederacy fell with a crash, carry
ing with it billions of property and {
million of lives. Had the Texans ant
the people of the South taken Genera
Houstou's advice, what useless expen.
diture Of blood and treasure, what rui,
would have been averted.-[Corres

AN ALL-NIGHT GAME. AND THE WORST
WHALING JOHN EVER
GOT. $50

Says the New York correspondent of
the Buffalo Courier: "Ben Wood" as
everybody has always called him, has
never been other than thoroughly
good fellow, and of course he had le-
gions of friends. In fact, pretty much
every one within the scope of his ac-
qaaintance is his friend, in one sense
or another, and he has no enemies
wortI, speaking of. 1t is we'll known
that he once kept up intimate rela-
tons with the "tiger," and had a
strong penchant for "bucking' that
animal in his lair, and since his failure
set old gossip going again. Some of
his qnondam chums have been rehear-
sing the famous bout he once had will,
John Mor,issey. in the latter's Club
House in Twenty-fourth street. The
story has been told several times, but
may bear mention again.
Ben Was ip the habit of dropping
into Morrissey's place occasionally for
q little recreation, and one night about
ten years ago he sauntered in as usual
and fell afoul of the bank. Morrissey
was there and many men about town,
all of whom knew Woods pluck and
hang -on .activeness, and the party set
tied down for some lively work.
Wood had about $4,000 in his pocket,
and as the betting was heavy he man
aged to get to the bottom in about an
hour. In fact he was cleaned out.
But his blood was up that night, and
as his reputation for pluck among Tile
lboys was at stake he decided that once
4 for all it should make or break. His
ready cash was gone, but he owned
valuable property or Tryon Row.
where the Stats Zeitung building now
stands, and he proposed to hypothe.
cate the property TO Morrissey against
whatever sum, up to its value, he
should lose. The offer was accepted,
and the great fight began. It lasted
all night and up to nine o'clock mex
morning, and when truce was finally
, called Ben had won hack the 50 900 ht
started with md scored about $3.50,
600 ahead besides. With the money
: that Morrissey had advanced to hin
! on the bypothecated property, h,
, turned around and gave John th'

HOLDING THE BREATH UNDEE Wa
TER.--It is probable that the entrance
of water into the lungs has d great
deal to do with the painlcssness of
drowning. 1t is certain that uncon
seriousness comes on more quickly
when the person is deprived Of air be-
cause the lungs are filled with water
than when the air passages are closed.
while the lungs remain intact. Most
persons can hold their breath for
minute, very many for a minute and q
half, some for two minutes. In one Of
the variety theatres of New York ap.
peared recently "The Brilliant Pearl
of the Enchanted Grotto, christened
Undine, who performs while under
water, incased in a mammoth chrys-
tai Illuminated glass tank, feats of as
tonishing suppleness and almost eddu-
rance." This performer can probably
remain under water, holding her
breath voluntarily, two minutes and
perhaps luore. have myself, watch
In hand, seen Johnston, the celebrated
ocean swimmer, remain under water
in tank before an audience for tie
astonishing space of three minutes and
twenty seconds, and before he rose,
the involuntary contractions of his re-
spiratory muscles were uncomfortable
to witness. I such cases, although OK
treme DISTRESS may be felt, there Is no
approach to Inconsistencies. But II
| q persons head is under water, and he
does not hold his breath, unconscious
ness will usually come on in one or
two minutes at the fnrtlest.
