UNLuCKY NAMES.


The crushed steam whaler North
Star was not lucky. One Of the
owners on this coast did not like the
name, and if he had the naming of
the ship, he would have certainly
chosen another. He was heard to
remark that he never had an inter
est in anything by the name of Star
which was lucky. He had owned
shares in mines carrying the name,
not one of which has come to any
thing. Is there such a thing as
luck in names? We recall two
that were never lucky. Henry Clay
was never a lucky name when ap-
piled to a ship. The last instance
we remember was that of the steam
boat Henry Clay, which was burn
ed about thirty years ago on the
Hudson river, at which time a great
number of passengers were lost.
The Golden Gate has never been IL
fortunate name when applied to a
steamship or an institution. Thous-
ands remember the disaster which
befell the Panama and San Fran
cisco. Recently an educational in
stitution in Oakland, which had
been struggling for success, discard
ed its name and took that of Hop
kins Academy, the name of its most
generous almoner, when it immedi-
ately entered upon career Of pros
perity. "What is in name %
Well, that is what no one has had
the wisdom to explain But it may
be resumed that the name North
Star will be discarded.

SCENES AT THE NEW YORK HORSE
MARKET.
New Yark Trih,1rxo.

New 4 ork Tribune.
The stranger who is passing
Twenty-fourth street, in the Third
avenue elevated road, does not have
to be told that he is in the vicinity
of the great horse marts of the city.
His olfactory nerves speedily assure
him Of the fact. If anything else is
needed he has only to glance out of
the car windows and he will catch
feeting glimpses of stable boys and
men, whose "horsy" proclivities are
not to be mistaken, engaged in hand
ling refractory beasts or discussing
the points of the animals with the
air of connoisseurs. Let the stranger
get off at Twenty-third street station
and spend an hour among the numer-
GUS long, narrow stables that make
up the neighborhood known to New
Workers as "The Bulls Head" and
he will wonder where all the horses
come from that supply this market.
The countryman who spends days
haggling over a trade will see a sin
gle dealer sell horses as fast as the
stablemen can trot them before the
eyes of the purchasers.
"How many horses do you sell in
year," asked a reporter, recently,
of a Bulls Head dealer.
Ten or twelve thousand he re-
piled.
Where do they all come from =
From all over the country Can
ada, the New England states, the
Middle states, the Southern states
and the Western states, and recently
there have been importations of the
thick-necked, heavy Norman horses
from France. These latter are for
breeding purposes. To supply this
market thirty thousand horses a
year are required. Every street
railroad keeps a man securing the
country for suitable horses for its
use. They want light quick horses
that weigh about LOO pounds.
The brewery and express companies
and the heavy truckmen will take
the largest horses they can get. The
nearer to 1000 pounds horse
weighs, the more they will pay for
him, It is to supply this demand
that the Norman horses are brought
to this country. | have a stable of
Norman horses, one of street car
horses, one filed with old hacks to
sell to street peddlers and one where
the young fellow who wants to take
his girl out behind 'toppy' team
can be accommodated"
When the young horse is brought
from the country he receives his
"breaking il" at the hands of the
street-car or truck driver. In either
case the result is the same. He is
we'll fed and well groomed, but driv-
en- remorselessly over the Belgian
blocks for two years until he is stiff
and spawned. Then he is sold on
cleaning out" day to street ped
dler. The poor horse then finds
that his troubles have just begun,
and henceforth there is only the
watchful humanity Of Mr.. Bergh to
protect him.
Last year Mr., Bergh kindly killed
about 1,500 of these horses. Then
their carcasses were sent to Barren
Island. There every particle of
them is utilized. Their bones are
made into knife handles and combs
and find ready sale. Their hides
are tanned for leather and their
hoofs are made into glue and muci-
lape.
