A Sensation in London sporting &

Cable Special to the Western Associated Press
LONDON, October pa scandal
which is creating a great sensation in
sporting circles hRs it that Sterling
Crawford, second husband of the
Dowager Duchess Montrose, has been
repeatedly scratching horses on the
morning Of an important race. THE
King" blames the Duchess, as she has
complete control of the stud. At the
Newmarket races to-day she appeared
in the saddling paddock, and was
hooted and jeered at and insulted by
the crowd. The st. James Gazette,
in mentioning the matter, says; The
upshot of the whole business is not
unlikely to be the sale Of all of Craw.
ford's horses. 1t is much to be de-

most alarming extent. But snuff is go
ing out of fashion, and cigars and cigar
cites have become the rage. No young
man can promenade the streets without
weed or the disgusting paper substi-
tute. The consequence has been fatal
to what most people used to consider
good breeding. Gentlemen in England
never smoked in lady's presence even
in the street. Now parlors are convert
ed into smoking-rooms. So do modes
and habits change. But one may ven

A Horses Insanity.

A case which for strange actions in an
animal is perhaps without an equal, has
been attracting the attention of horse
men around Loveland, O., for couple
of weeks. Old Dobhin. horse sixteen
years old, raised and always owned by
Mr.. A. Apgar, just below town, until
lately one of the most faithful and docile
of horses, working on tho farm through
the week, and drawing the family We
hicle to church on Sundays, began to
show signs of nervousness, and would
become greatly frightened at the har-
ness he had worn for years. Soon
strange persons would terrify him.
Finally his nervousness became SO great
that he would kick and make the most
desperate efforts to get away from i'm
aginary objects. At times he would fall
over the tongue of the vehicle, and
would require several men to handle
him. Mr.. Apgar decided to turn him
out to pasture. hoping he would soon
recover, but his troubles increased, and
at times, at the sight of an object in the
distance, he would start and run vio-
lentlv around the pasture. Sometimes
he would jump the fence and run for
miles. During all the period of his
troubles old Dobbin has never once Of
fered to harm any person, his disposi-
ton being fear, but not violence. He is
now being kept in dark cellar, and as
he is valuable and faithful animal, it
is hoped he may yet recover. The horse
has lately refused to drink water, but
exhibits no other sign of hydrophobia.

Ais Well,

Buena Vista, in Ohio, has its idyl.
Two or three years ago Mr. Farney
took charge of the high school there.
One of his pupils was Miss Woolftan,
and almost instantly teacher and pupil
fell in love, and became engaged. Old
MIR. Woolftan proved wolf indeed,
and refused to consent to their union.
Farney resigned the school, but before
he left town he called, with the Woolf-
tan consent, for the last interview with
the beautiful brunette. At his request
she sang the sadful song OF Burns:
Had we never loved sac kindly, had we
never loved sac blindly," they wouldn't
have come to grief Then Mr.. Farney
went away in the darkness and tears,
and three days afterward his body was
found in the Ohio river, six miles above
Cincinnati, and buried. The girl was
inconsolabie, of course, but last June
she married gentleman who consent
ed to take her vita the perfect under
standing that she did not, could not,
would not, and should rot love him. In
December the husband was killed in a
railroad accident on the Cincinnati
Southern, near l exington.
The widow withdrew entirely from
society, but in March a gentleman
presented himself for acceptance, and in
twinkling was accepted. IL was Mr..
Farney, who was not dead, and never
had been, the man drowned above Gin
cinnati being another party altogether,
whose indemnity viii never be known;
and when June roses break into bios

how They Get the Best of Us.

Johnnie went out and ''iosted' him.
self yesterday. He was missing for two
whole hours, and the neighbors were all
aroused to Elf they had seen the stray
young vagabond. wheeling little red
wheelbarrow off with him. After long
and tedious search he was found in the
backyard of new chum mounted in
triumph on the roof of hen-coop.
Didn't he "catch it." Well, no, not
hardly. 1t was this way. When his
mother started out to look for him she
determined that when once found he
would get such spanking as would
cure him of his nomadic tendencies, but
as she looked, and began to grow anx-
ious. she ''mellowed' toward the little
scamp, and by the time she found him,
his face Drowned and heated with the
sun, his hands begrimed with dirt, his
apron torn, and new hole studied in
his shoe. she was so glad to see him that
she picked him up and kissed him. He
was only little ways off, that's ALL"
said she, as she gave him second plate
of pudding at dinner for being .'such a
nice little runaway" Oh, these little
ones get the best of us everytime.-

About Cats.

Cats are commonly supposed to be
an invention of Cato, who, to spite q
hated rival, constantly invented this and
many other similar ideas to torment his
enemy with. This, however, is merely
fable, as the real purpose for which
cats were intended is yelled in OBSCURE
ty, all the descendants of the inventor
having sworn never to reveal the truth.
Nevertheless, some interesting facts and
habits have been discovered during re-
cent researches, which may be of inter-
est.
Cats live to great age. especially
those used on board ship, having even
been known to out-live some of the crew.
These, by the way, have nine tails,
which number has been very often con-
founded with the number of lives other
cats have, and which is certainly I'M
true, as it is well known that the wear
and tear on cats imagination, think
ing of a way to escape, after being kill
ed the fourth time, usually kills her for
good. The surest way to kill cat is to
be careful of her; she will die of pure
spite then, as such treatment would be
exactly contrary to what a fine, healthy
cat ever requires or receives. Cats are
faithful creatures, and have strong af-
fections; numerous instances are known
where cats conceived such liking for
canary birds that they could not live
without them-or at least they didn't.
There are many things about cats
which are regarded as omens by some
people. A cat near bowl of milk or o
cold chicken is sure sign you are 60
ing to lose something. A cat on the
back fence, with good voice, is sure
sign of trouble-for the eat. Two cats
found with their tails together hung
over clothes-line is 3 sure sign of a
disagreement-between the cats-and a
determination to flight it out on that
line, if it takes all summer" Cats are
provided with claws to caress their
friends with; which habit, by-the-way,
is very affecting, often melting those
friends to tears. Cats are supposed to
die naturally sometimes, although no
other proof of this is presented than the
finding of the bodies.
Finally, cats live solely for and with
never satisfied desire to be nuisance,
and they usually succeed.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER.

There are q number of persons out of
employment in every county,-yet ener-
getic men willing to work do not need
to be. Those willing to work can make
from 800 to $500 month clear, work
ing for US in pleasant and permanent
business. The amount our agents make
varies, some making as high as $500 a
month while others IS low as 21CO, all
depending on the energy of the agent.
We have an article of great merit. 1t
should be sold to every HORSEPOWER and
pays over 100 per cent profit. Each
sale is from So. 80 to $1,000. One agent
in Pennsylvania sold 80 in two days, and
cleared $500 An agent in New York
made $500 in one day. Any man
with energy enough to work full day,
and will do this during the year can
make from 1900 to $1,000 year. We
only want one man in each county, and
to him will give the exclusive sale as
long as he continues to work faithfully
for us. There is no competition, and
nothing like our invention made. Par
ties having from 500 to 81, 900 to invest,
can obtain q General Agency for ten
counties or q state. Any one can make
an investment of from $25 to 81, 900 with
out the least risk of loss, as our Circulars
will show that those investing S25 can
after 80 days trial return the goods
unsold to us and get their money back,
if they do not clear at least 500. They
show that General Agent who will take
ten counties and invest $216. 90 can after
a trial of so days return all goods unsold
to us, and have money returned to them
if they fail to clear at least $3.50 in that
time. There are many persons having
money to invest who could not give the
business personal attention-such can
employ sub agents without leaving home
making . large amount yearly out of a
very small investment. We are not pay
ing salaries, but want men willing to
work and obtain as their pay the profits
of their energy. Men not willing to work
on our terms will not work on any.
Those meaning business will receive
our large descriptive circular, and ex
traordinary offer by enclosing a three
cent stamp, with their address. The
first to comply with our terms will secure
the county or counties they may wish
to work. Address.

Hazards of Young Men During the Picnic

Now that the pincic season has COM
menced, parents cannot be too careful
of their sons; Parents should remember
that their boys, in going to picnic,
also go through tunnels, and tunnel
is dangerous to young man, unless
the girl in charge of him be ladylike
enough to refrain from those familiarities
to which many picnic-going females are
given. A designing young woman, in
conjunction with ice cream, picnic
lemonade and shady spots under the
trees, subjects young man to infu-
ences which may have anything but an
elevating effect upon his character.
Point out to them the beneficial effects
of wood-sawing upon tie muscles and
the mind. Take them out to the grave
yard on Sunday and read Fox's Book of
Martyrs to them. Keep o dog in the
front yard and warn the girls off. In
order to make this warning effective the
fence should be high and have spikes
along the top of it. When young
woman asks your boy to 60 to picnic,
see to it that she is steady, sober and in
dustrious before you entrust your child
to her.-Albdny Argus.

Minute Workmanship,

The Salem, Mass, museum has in its
possession cherry-stone containing
one dozen silver spoons. The stone is
of the ordinary size, the spoons being so
small that their shape and finish can be
distinguished only by the microscope
This is the result of immense labor for
no decidedly useful purpose. and there
are numbers of other objects in exist
ence the value of which may oe said to
be quite as indifferent. Thus, DR.. Oil
YER gives an account of cherry-stone
on which was carved 124 heads, so dis
tinetly that the naked eye could distin-
guish those belonging to popes and
kings by theic mitres and crowns. A
Nuremberg clock-maker inclosed in .
cherry-stone. which was exhibited at the
French Crystal Palace, plan of Sebas-
topol, railway station. and the '.Mes-
siah" of klopstock. Pliny, too. men,
tions the fact that Homer's ''Iliad," with
its $4,000 verses, was written in SO small
a space as to be contained in anut shell.
The greatest curiosity of ALL however,
was copy of the Bible, written by one
Peter Bales, chancery clerk. in so
small a space that it could be inclosed
within the shell of an English walnut.
