The DAILY ARGUS.
FIXING HIS HORSE TO WIN,

The writer met the jockey of Rutherford
while dining at the winter palace ia st.
Petersburg, a short time after that huge
sporting wrangle, and. in the course of
conversation on turf matters the astute
predder of horse-tlesh said, with a child
like and ingenious smiles, as he passed the
beans: Would you like to know the
dead inside facts as to how that race was
wons"
Why, you rode the best horse, didn't
You, we asked.
Not bit of il" replied the jockey,
with a grin. The fact was that Ruth
erford was only about the forth choice
and was not rated at more than eighth
or ninth at the pools. True Blue. Katie
Peace and Thad Stevens all had the call
over Ruthy. But it happened that my
horse was 'bolter, and to steady him
and to prevent his flying the track | put
binders and goggles on him You no
ticed them | suppose"
There were two horses rugged that
way" we replied
Exactly; Stevens was nervous
critter, also, and as soon as his trainer
saw how the goggles steadied my horse
he put'em on Thad, too. The day be-
fore the race big idea occurred to me.
I got a couple of pair of magnifying
glasses and quietly put 'em in place of the
plain glasses in the goggles of both horses.
Catch on to the idea2"
We'll partly.
The only difference was, that in Stew
ems brides | fastened the glasses with the
bulge inside, SO as to make them diminish
ing glasses. Don't you see?"
Like looking through the wrong end of
an opera glass. eh?"
Exactly; the result was that while
Rutherford was encouraged all the way by
the course seeming only couple of hun
dred yards long, the quarter flags appeared
ten miles apart to Stevens. You see a
horse can be discouraged just as well as a
man."
Great scheme, that"
well | should smile. Ruthy thought
he was in for little quarter race, and it
kept up his heart so that when he had
nearly done the last mile and swung into
the home stretch, and | called on him to
let out his last link he thought the judges
stand was right under his nose, so he came
home like an express on down grade,
but Stevens, who thought he had about
fifteen miles further to go, went all to
pieces, as You remember and almost laid
down on the track, he was mentally caved
in, as it were.
There can be No question as to the
genuineness of this story, bat we deliver
il to the intelligent reader ut the importers
risk for AL that.-.S1zl Francisco Post

St. Louis Republican: The unpleasant
feature of the veto of the river and harber
bill is that it proceeded mainly from con
siderations of party interest. The
Republican party is appropriating too
much money which cannot be used to aid
the campaign and swell the corruption
fund. A hundred millions for back pen
sions, of which far more goes to frauds
and dead-beats than il appropriated in the
whole bill now vetoed, elicits little com
ment and no censure at all from the party
managers. This vast sum can be point
ed to as evidence of the grand patriotism
of the ruling party. Such inconsistency
makes very plain the motive of the parti-
sans who have clamored for the veto.

A PLANT THAT KILLS FLIES. The
British Medical Journal contains des-
cTiption of the accidental discovery of
a natural fiy-killeT, which is worthy the
attention of shOpkeepeTs whose wares
are so much exposed in this hot weather
to one of the plaques of Egypt, and in
deed of house dwellers generally, as well
as of horticulturisfs and gardeners,
whose plants and fruit trees are eaten
up by insects OF various kinds. 4 cas-
tor oil plant, ii appears. was placed aC-
cidentally in a room swarmlng with
flies, which of course came in in hun
dreds through the open window bit as
soon as it was deposited in its place the
flies disappeared as if by enchantment.
On examination they were found under
the castOr-oil plant or clinging to the
under surface Of the leaves, perfectly
dead. The leaves, we understand, give
out an essential oil or toxic principle,
which possess the strongest insecticide
qualities, aud it would be well worth
the while OF many persons who suffer
from the ravages of the flies to provide
themselves with one of these plants,
which, in addition to the ornamental ap-
peaTance, resist variations of atmos-
phere and temperature very well.

A PLEASANT EXPERIMENT WITH
SALT.-DO you want to grow salt and
at the same time have an interesting or
nament. The proceeding is a novel
chemical experiment that may be tried
by any one. Put in goblet one table
spoonful of salt, and one spoonful of
blueing, fill the goblet two-thirds full of
water and put in a position where it
Will have plenty Of warmth and sun
light. In little while staTkling crystals
will commence forming on the outside
of the glass and it is both novel and in
teresting TO watch it growing day by
day until the outside of the goblet will
be covered over with beautiful white
crystals. Another variation of this
beautiful experiment would be to take a
goblet with base broken off and fasten
it to a thin piece of board, which may
be round. square or OblOng. After the
crystals have formed on the glass, set it
on a tiny wall-bTacket, and place bright
holiday or birthday card in front OF it !:
this will hide the base, on which the
crystals will form. After this is done,
fill the goblet with flowers OF dried
grasses, and you will have a vase which
will cost comparatively little, and in
reality adds to the brio a DTac of the
room. We wonder how maTy of our
young readers can tell how it is the cry

White muslin dresses at
about three-quarters value. A
few are shown in the window
of 1901 Chestnut each one
marked with its price. Very
many more are within.
The materials are nainsooks,
linonsd'Inde, mullsand Swisses.
Some are very plainly made
with little or no trimming be-
yond some deft handling of the
material itself; and some are
elaborate enough. The ex-
treme prices are $3.50 and $50.
An excellent plain dress is sold
for SIS; neat and well made.
Lowprices can almost always
be put upon such goods a little

Ready-made dresses of a

that looks like summer silk, but
is silk-and-cotton. For general

virtue is in the price, $40.

a general indication of what we
are doing in grenadines.
An extraordinary debeige,
extraordinary in quality and

fifty color effects.

ALCOHOL FROM AcoRNs.-I

ALCOHOL FROM ACoRNs.-It is said
that alcohol equal to that made from
grain can be produced from acoTns. The
acoIns are freed from the shell and
ground finely; then they are mashed
with malt and allowed to ferment.-
AcOrns contain about 20 per cent. of
starch, and eighteen per cent. of gluten.
They would be valuable article for hu-
man food if it were not for the tannic
acid (about 3 per cent) which they con-
tain. Vast quantities which go to
waste every year, where hogs are not fed
in the woods, might be gathered by
boys and converted into alcohol for use
in the arts, thus freeing an equivalent
amount of grain for food. Or some
young student of practical chemistry
might make a good thing for himself
and for the world by devisng an econo-
mical process of separting the starch
gluten and tannic acid, the last for tech
nical uses and the others for food

WASHING FLANNELs.-We wonder
II housekeepers know that flannel ought
never to have soap put upon them OF to

should be made, and the flannels should
be squeezed through it, rubbing the
diItiest portion in the hand as lightly as
possible when the dirt is softened, An
other warm water, with a little soap,
should be ready, into which put flannel,
shake up well, squeeze dry as possible,
shake we'll and hang out to dry. Elan
nels should be always washed on clear
day by. the above method and they will
never shrink,
