The Breeders Gazette of late date SAYS
1.-THE word thoroughbred, as applied 10 horses
is the name of bteed-the race or running
horse of England and America This name was
given when few, IL any. other breeds of horses
had much attention given them In the way Of
careful systematic breeding Doubtless better
name might have been selected Just us more
appropriate name than shoit'hoin for breed
Of cows which have no shorter horns than those
of some other breeds, might have been selected:
or, AS better name than Poland. China for the
breed Of hogs bearing this title ought to have
been chosen but II il not wise to quarrel over
settled affairs. Let us be content TO accept the
inevitable. Let us call the race horse breed
thoroughbreds; the red white and roam cattle
shorthorns, etc, and let us not use these names
for any other breeds of the class II IL no longer
an intmntion of a claim that the race. horse is,
necessarily, any more purely bred than his
tr0lting or draft relatives 10 call the former
thO0ug hbreds ana TO insist that the latter must
have their purity of blood indicated by such
words rs pure or iull blood.
but tho dogmalic assertion that the word
| thoroughbred should not be applied 10 animals
| of any class save the running horse is not sus.

PHOTOGRApHING FLIGHT.

Mr.. Muybridge. of San Fran,isco, having
shown photographers how to take pictures of a
horse at full galop NJ. Marcy, a French
savant has extended the process to the flight
of birds. He has succeeded IN Analysing the
flight of a bird by the method employ ed by VI.
Jansen in observing the relative movement of
two staIs, that is, by a Photographic revolver.
This was in The form of a tOwling-piecc aimed
at the bird, and twelve pictures were taken
successfully in LEO of a second each. The
plates were gelatino bromide of silver whch
could, if need, take an impression in 1-1500 of
second. BY placing the set Of pictures in a
phcnakstscopc of Plateau, the flying of the
bird was easily reproduced.

ANCIENT CHINESE BURIAL.

The Celestial Empire gives il recent num-

when NE reached the age of forty. lie then
had il painted three fines every yea with Il
species of varnish mixed with pulverized por-
celaIn-a composition which resembled "a sill
cate paint or enamel. The process by which
this varnisl was riade has now been lost to the
Chinese. Each coating of this paint was OF
some thickness, and when dried had metallic
Iirmncss resembling enamel. Frequent coats
of this, if the owner lived long, caused The
coffin TO assume Tie appearance OF "A sarc0pla-
gus. with Il foot or more III thickness of this
hard. sLone-ilke shell. After death the veins
AID ,he cavities of the stomach were filed with
quicksilver for the purpose oil preserving the
BODY. A piece Of Jade was then placed III each

of bar silver was placed in the Other hand. The
BODY thus prepared WAS put on layer OF nlcr-
curry within the coffin the latter was sealed,
and the whole then committed to its last rest

THE DUCHESSS CISDERELLI

From TIE LeRdon Gl9bc.
Paris Journalist has discovered renl I'm
derella" IN thC person OF the viiC of M English
millionaire whose name ne wlthhOlds, from de!Icacy
or other causes. About fifteen years AGO the
PAINTER Icbert vas executing his fine portrait -
the Duchess of Noailles. lie was working At the
same time upon an exquisite genre picture, III whose
progress the Duchess took n great interest. II repre-
scnted young Italian girl OF extraordinary love
iness one day tine Duchess said 10 the artist: 1t
is lmposs;l lie that such face should be nero
paiutcrs ideal. The original must sometimes como
TO your studio. / should like to SEQ her. Tho
lady was 30 charmed with the girl that she said TO
the painter: 4" If the rich give So much money To
hang up a copy upon their walls, what an ornament
the original would be for any salon" The thought
which she had thus struck out seemed To have las
cinatcd her and when the picture Of the beautiful
Italian girl had found its way INTO Baron Roths-
cn,d's collection at Ferreres the Duchess took tho
education Her parents respectable, but poor,
and gladly yielded mp their daughter TO tho splendid
future which the amla6le Duchess engaged TO pro
vide for her.
IIebert's picture persisted in the flames during tho
fire ut tho Chateau of fcrricres in 1877, but the
original had developed into woman or wonderful
beauty. Her guardian kept jealous eye upon hcr
numerous admirers, determining that II her Clnder-
ella did not become n princess she should marry
into family of high social distinction. Meanwhile
an Englshman of very great wealth, who was
visiting tho House Of Noalles, not only fell deeply
in love with the beautiful ward. but gained her
heart Although he was not noble, no was nill
ionaire tho Duchess consented at last to favor ms
suit and tho English sutton carried OH the Italian
Gin deIella as his wl1e.

A HINT FOR SIMMER.

The tattic in India, says Chdmbers's journal,
is a large we'd or sloping screen, which accu-
west. and is made of the roots OF the khuskhus
grass (Andropogon muricatus), which slngu-
larry combines strength and porosity with the
most delicious and refreshing fragrance.
These screens are about an inch in thickness,
and, during the hot and dry west wind. are
saturated from outside with water, which I'M
mediatcy commences evaporating under the
ierceness Of the blast aud a. evaporation al
ways implies cold, the wind which, III the We
Ianda, would raise the thermometer to 100
Fahrenheit, passes into the house at 10 or
500 laden with delicious fragrance While
tatties are in working order all other cooling
appliances are unnecessary. In the nelghbor-
