ST TALLION SEASON
1882. HESING JR. 1882.

Record to 800 ID. road wagon OF 2 :431l; also
the best POI mile record OF any stallion, mare
or geldlng in the world will make the season
OF 1882 at the old accommodation stable on
Gremps street. at Paw Paw, Mich, at $50 to
insure, S25 by the season, and S15 for single
service.
Heslng Jr. was sired by Woodward's Ethan
Allen, sire of shepherd Boy, record :2315, and
six others IN the 80 list, he by Ethan Allen,
by Vermont Black Hawk, sire of Billy Barr,
record 2:23% and SIX others with records of
80 and better.
Hesing Jr.'s dam was by Hoag's Hamble-
tonian, by Barney Henry, by Signal (thorough-
bred) The dam of Hoag's Hambletonian was
by Bishops Hambctonian, by imp. Messenger.
The dam OF Woodward's Ethan Allen, was
Fanny Cook, the dam OF Daniel Lambert, the
sire OF Comet 1914 aud % others with rec
ords Of 80 and better, greater number than
any other living stallion.
Fanny Cook was by Abdallah. sire OF Rvs
dyks Hambletonlan, the sire OF Dexter :174,
and "a others with records OF 2 80 and better :
dam by American Star, sire OF the dams OF
Dexter 2171l; Nettie 2:18; Jay Gould 2 81 !:
Gazelle All, and a number OF others in the
2 80 list.
II will be seen that Hesing Jr. is possessed
OF the very best strains OF trotting blood, being
closely related to the greatest performers on
the trotting turf; he aso has individual merits
that entitle him to prominent position as a
turf horse as we'll as a sire OF trotters. He
has showed quarters in 35 seconds. half mile
in 1 :13, and full mile IN :2716, while his 201
mile performance at the Exposition Building
In Chicago, is without parallel. The attempt
made recently to claim for another horse as
good record having served only to put Hes
ing's claim to the distinction beyond the possi-
bility OF doubt
Careful attention will be gwen to mares sent
TO Hesing Jr. but all accidents and escapes at
owners risk. We refer You to Uunton's Spirit
OF Turf, published at Chicago, for a eonfirma-
ton OF any OF the above statements. Address

A Mouse in School.

A mouse came near breaking up q
school in Connecticut, recently. Trot-

spied him, and buzz of whispers called
the teachers attention. Nov, child
rem said she in a kind and motherly
way, "keep very quiet, every one ofyou.
Don't move nor say word if the mouse
comes toward you. He is perfectly
harmless" The scholars were very
quiet, and watched the capers of the
mouse breathlessly. The teacher had
scarcely finished her brave address,
when mousey ran directly for her, and
began 10 walk over her feet. This was
too much, and the preaching was turned
into practice which refused to dovetaii.

leaving the teacher and her tickled pu-
pills in peculiar state Of mind.

How Oheaply One Can Live.

Bread, after all, is the cheapest diet
one can live on, and the best. A story
is told that shows just how cheap man
can live when he gets "down to mush, "
dguratively and literally speaking. Col
onel Fitzgibbon was, many years ago,
colonial agent at London for the Cana
dian government, and was wholly de-
pendent upon remlltances from Canada
for his support. On one occasion these
remittances failed to arrive, and rs
there was no cable in those days, he was
compelled to write TO his Canadian
friends TO know the reason of the delay.
Meanwhile he had Just one sovereign to
live upon. He found that he could live
upon sixpence per day, or about y!
cents of our money-four pennyworths
of bread, one pennyworth of milk, and
one pennyworth of sugar. He made
pudding of some of the bread and sugar,
which served for breakfast, dinner and
supper, the milk being reserved for the
last meal. When his remittances ar
rived, about month afterward, he had
five shillings remaining of his sovereign,
and he liked his frugal diet so well that
he kept it up for over two years, posi-
bly, longer. Twelve cents day is GER
tainly a small amount to expend for
food; but a man in Minnesota, about
three years ago, worried through a
whole yearon $40. He lived on John.

more entertaining than their comical

A Poor Place for Marrying,

Washington is well equipped for a

dies. and even young ones, so many
houses being open to well-appearing
people, rs in foreign capitals. Young
girls who come here in the holidays
are hardly able to study any more, and
often are spoiled for al other city; yet
il is bad place to make marriages.

place in the household, but rather the

American Women as Takers.
There is no doubt that American \

There is no doubt that American wo-
men talk fuently and well. But having
admitted that, the rambling writer may
be allowed to say that he thinks English
women use a simpler and purer Saxon
English than flows from the lips OF
American ladies. In England now it is
assuredly mark and proof of culture
to adopt this simplicity of style; in this
country it seems as if people, especially
women, tried hard to cultivate fine
emphatic jargon. For example, here it
appears to be thought rude and coarse
sort of thing to speak OF man OF educa-
ton and position as a woman; you must
speak of her always as GLADLY" Mrs.
Brown is charming lady; Miss Black
is beautiful lady, and SO on. In Eng
land this phraseology is usually releg-
ated to the lady's maid and the footman.
Educated and well-bred English people
will always say: Mrs. Brown is charm
ing woman One had rather hear an
English woman break into little word
of slang, than hear her spoil our pure
and noble Saxon speech, so sweet and
home like in its simple, natural strength,
by over-relnement of language and the
spurious graces of superficial gentility.
If the astonishing nuency-and brilliancy
of the American woman's talk could on
fy find expression in the simple Saxon
which is now happily the vernacular of
educated people in England, the charm
ing talker would have just the one thing
needed toplace herin the front rank with
the conversationalists of the modern
world.

Policeman and Millionaire.

Almost everybody at one time or an
other has dreamed of what he would do
if he were suddenlyto become enormous
ly rich, but so few have actually realiz-
ed their dreams that it is interesting to
note how far fulfllment corresponds
with expectation in the rare cases when
poor man becomes millionaire. X.
Robson, an old policeman, who spent
six years in the service of Joseph Hume,
has been declared by the Court of
Chancery the rightful heir of an estate
valued at f250,000, which has remained
in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Com
missiohers since the murder Of his grand
father in Manchester in l742. The for
tunate heir, who is now " years old, is
staying at an inn in Newcastle, where
he is pestered beyond endurance by the
visits of affectionate ard long-lost rela-
tives whose very existence he had for
gotten, to say nothing of hosts of others
he had never met. Among the latter
claimants were no fewer than three or
four ladies, who stoutly asserted that he
was their lawful welded husband, and
refused 70 be convinced by the appear
ance of the veritable Mrs. Robson that
they were mistaken in their man. This
it must be admitted is somewhat of
novelty. Every one knows that money
is sufficient to purchase "troops OF
friends" but hitherto not even afortune
of f250.000 has been able to call three
or four wives at q moments notice from
the vastly deep.
