the l6-ycar-old stallion Woodford MambrIno

TOO well knowR. among horsemen to need
proof. At Utica he uuwitt'n.ly BECAME the
too! OF others, and for this was punisbed-iu
cause
This year Mr.. Pate's stable has been. un-
fortunate. Other horses have been driven to
win or lose as the fancy or poo1-tickets OF their
owRers dictated, but those OF a1r. Pate have 10
every instance been sent to win. This has made
known fact that in a field OF trolters about
equally matched IN point Of speed, no one
OF them eau win if the Others start
i in +, to beat him.: At Cleveland, in the
Pate bought during the Chicago meeting, had
more speed than any of the party, but the bal
ancc we're all willing to let Darby win, and him
derea the marc at eyory stride. In spite Of
these disadvantages she secured second money,
and, many think, should have been given the
third heat, 10 which case she would certainly
have beaten Darby, as the latter Was dog-tfred.
Mr.. Pa.e stood to wiu $1,000 In case his horse
was victorious, and, in company with hundreds
of others, honestly believed that the third heat
should have been given to Middleton.
But here his modesty and orer-sensitiycness
in regard to such matters came into play aud
prevented his going in the judges' stand and
claiming what he believed to be bis rights. He
simply chewed little more vigorously on the
unlighted cigar: in bis mouth, but said nothing,
and when the decision came that dashed away
all hopes Of ever seeing that $4,000, be simply
smiled quietly, and turning, walked across the
track. This kind OF grit will win in the end.
One thing that MIR. Pate was not long in dis
covering this year was the fact that bis stable
was without competent driver. After
seeing bis horses lose more than one race by
bad management in the sulky, hs resolved upon
q change. In drivers, as ia horses nothing but
the best would do. This point eottled, there
was but one man to be considered, and one
morning during: the Cleveland meeting John
Spian was seen. and after few miuutes con-

With good lot Of horses, and the best driver in

What Every House Needs.

One of the worst faults of our very
faulty modern architecture as applied to
houses, is found in the fact that archi-
tects do not take into their plans the
possibilities of sickness in the family.
No house is properly constructed that
has not in it a room or rooms expressly
designed for the accommodation of the
sick and infirm. This room should have
warm, sunny exposure. The window
light should be ample and command the
widest possible view. The next essential
is good, liberal fireplace. By the
warmth il generates, and facilities for
ventilation. the whole room is kept pure
and wholesome. Not only so, but slow
burning fire with it's lights and shades,
its rising sparks and glowing brands, its
curling and many colored smoke, and
its changeful cmbers, furnish ceaseless
diversion to the sick one who lies watch
ing it.
Nothing is more soothing and quiet
ing than the influence which subtlsy
steals over the senses of one who gazes
dreamily into the gentle flame. 1t is
companionship itself. The walls, too,
should have their proper adornments.
Pictures that suggest quiet and peace,
and the free, fresh life of nature outside,
should be put on them. A bracket with
its vases Of flowers; green clambering
vine, clinging ambitiously to the ceiling;
library case filed with familiar books;
curtains that soften the light while ad-
hitting it-all these are helpful to one
that lies in weakness and can take no
more of life than the little room reveals.
Better still, if just outside Of the win
dow stands tree with the branches so
placed that the leaves of some almost
sweep the pane.
How much the sight of twigs, buds
and leaves, stirred by the wind and
fecked with bright CLEANS Of the sun,
can cheer the mind Of one who lies upon
the pillow idly looking at them. The
central thought expressed in well-con-
structed sick room is diversion. The
object of its construction and location
should be to give perfect accommoda-
ton and protection to the invalid, while
at the same time it suggests the beauty
and the freedom of being unconfined-
the life and animation of the great out
world beyond.

The Use of Numbers.

The question arises how far the exist
ence of large population on the earth
is necessary to the action Of these forces
which serve to carry men onward. To
this question it is impossible to give i.
full answer; nevertheless, there are many
practical experiments in the use Of num-
hers which serve to throw some light on
the matter In the first place, it is clear
that the great successes of this world
have not been in dense or numerous
populations. BY whatever standard we
measure the success,--by the general
elevation of the masses, by the number
of able intellects, by the physical well
being of successive generations, or by
the combinations of these various ele-
ments of greatness and success-lt Is
clear that the victories have been won
bv the non-numerous peoples. If, with
the conditions that gave England
the Elizabethan age, we could
have had the population of Chi
LA, we might have had many
Shakespeare at once but all. the
men of the very first order have come
from the small, but highly wrought pop
ulations. China and Hindoostan and
other massive aggregations Of men show
US that an intensiiieds struggle for mere
existence cannot help man to the higher
life of body or mind the controlling in
tellects, the perfect bodies, have come
from the small societies, where the av-
erage estate is high, where there is time
and room for culture. Judging by their
fruits, we must pronounce against the
massive States, and give the palm TO the
smaller, thoroughly vitalized communi-
ties. A multitude does not necessarily
bring greatness into the world. 1t will
compel us to the opinion that it is better
to take a city Of thousands, or State
with few hundred thousands, and law
ish on their people the wealth We NIGH
vainly waste on hundreds Of millions
without helping the cause Of human ad
vance.-September Atlantic.

Loss Of o Valuable Horse.

Mr.. w. G. Myer met with heavy
loss last Monday morning in the death
of his fine Percheron horse, "Pride of
Perche.' This was one Of the finest
Percheron horses in the country, and
sold at public auction just after landing
from the ocean voyage for 5000. He
was then untried and the purchaser
would, of course, run some risk in invest
ing his money. Consequently, after he
had proven his worth, his value must
have been geatly increased, and he was
probably worth to Mr. Myer nearly
twice the price mentioned above Mr.
Myer has expended large amount of
money in his efforts to introduce i'm
proved stock in Oregon and has met
with serious losses, which were enough
to dishearten any man CT ordinary per-
sistence and hope; but the most discouray-
ing feature of the matter is the evidence
that there is persistent effort to injure
Mr. Myer and his stock, which does not
stop short of the dastardly crime Of kill
ing the horses. Doctors Chitwood and
Royal were called and make an exam
ination of the body of the horse immedi-
ately after death, and agree in the con-
clusion that his death was caused by the
effects OF poison, which was administered
some time previously in dose sufficient
to cause sure but not immediate death.
We have before alluded to this con-
tinued detern nation to disparage this
stock in Oregon, and the evidence We
have heard proves beyond a reasonable
doubt that number of colts from Mr.
Myers horses, owned by himself and
others, have been stealthily killed for the
purpose of creating the impression that
the stock is not hardy. Anyone who
will take the trouble to look beyond the
limits of Oregon in investigating the
matter, to where the stock has had long
years OF trial, will be convinced that any
attempt to discredit the stock in this
particular can meet with but temporary
success, as the testimony upon the mat
ter which we published from the Live
Stock Journal, short time since, abun-
dainty proves.-Ashland Tidings

Explosions IN Mill and Factories

The burning Of the great Minneapolis.
-four mills, now nearly two years ago,
gave rise to the inquiry as to the cause
Of the conhagration, which was at that
time a MYSTERY. The discussion was an
interesting one, especially to those millers
who were ingaged in making flour by
the new patent process, The conclusion
reached, as stated in the Sun at the time,
was that the fire, which was accompanied
by a great explosion, originated from the
combustion Of the finely-divided parti-
cles of flour floating about the mill,
which, in some way or other, came in
contact either with an intensely heated
surface caused by the rapid revolutions
Of the machinery, or from the floating
particles of flour coming in contact with
the flame of candle. The theory then
advanced was novel one, but, accom-
panied as it was by experimental tests
by which the possibility of such explo-
sions, occurring in the manner stated,
was demonstrated, it was very generally
accepted as explaining how that particu-
lar fire happened. In the Christmas
holidays of 1877 a disastrous fire, at
tended by serious loss Of life, occurred
at candy factory in New York. The
fire was also accompanied by an explo-
sion that forced out the walls Of the
building. For long time it was sup
posed to have been caused by the burst
ing Of boiler pipe in the engine-room,
but when the ruins were cleared away
it was discovered that the fire and the
damage which it caused could not have
so originated. DIR. Doremus expressed
the opinion that it arose from the sud
den contact of finely divided and strong
hearted starch or sugar flame, or ra-
dainty heated surface, but the Coroner's
jury left the question an open one. The
explosion that occurred on Friday last
in the drying room Of another candy
factory in New York, as stated in Satur-
days Sun, had its origin exactly in the
manner stated by DIR. Doremus in his
theory of the cause of the fire at Green
fields candy factory in the Christmas
holidays of 1877. A workman in the
drying-room bearing trays containing
finely divided starch lost his footing
on a sudden, and on falling threw a
heavy cloud of starch dust against the
red-hot furnace The explosion was i'm.
mediate, and similar explosions with
-four or starch dust are always likely to
take place where she process of their
manufacture either generates heat or
where they float in fine particles in
rooms artifcially heaten for drying pur-
poses..-Baltimore Sum-
