Early Training of Colts.

Great speed in the running horse has
always been associated with early ma
turity. In England the system of pre-
eociously feeding, forcing, and racing
the young thoroughbreds has been
carried to such All extent that the Eng
lish race-horse, typified in Eclipse and
West Australian, once noted for. his
stoutness and capacity to keep up the
pace with full weights at long distances.
is to-day the champion dash racer, but
net the stoutest repeater on the turf.
English turfmen sounded this alarm be-
fore Parole and Iroquois were taken
from America over 1.-The great waters
to convince the devotees of the Derby
and St. Leger, that the English system
of early forcing and training produces
the dash horse. but not the stout rater.
But the American breeders of the Thor
oughhred and the American trainer hate
caught the English spirit, so that dash
races. have largely taken the place Of
the great four-mile-repeat contests, in
which American Eclipse and Black
Maria and Boston and Lexington won
their renown. Early maturity makes
dash races not only possible but brill
liant successes. The young colt can run
up to his speed for short distances, but
it requires full maturity to keep up the
pace at long distances. All other OBJ
iections apart, therefore, early maturity
in the race-horse means impaired
stamina, loss of strong constitution, the
decrease of lasting vitality. These rap
idly degenerate into weedy typo Of
horse, that not only fails to be useful for
anything else but great speed at short.
distance, but loses its capacity to enrich
and improve the various other breeds of
horses used for general purposes.-Na-

The Dnllar Mark.

Origin of 49, There are number
of theories for the origin of the sign of
the American dollar. One is that It is a
combination of the sign of u. S., the ini-
tiais for the United States; another, that
it is modification Of the figure 8 the
dollar Being formerly called a s.piece of
eight and designated by the charac-
ter 8-8. The third theory is that it is a
combination OF III. s., the mark of the
Roman unit, while fourth is that it is
combination of P. and s, from the
Spanish peso dstro, which signifies
hard dollar In Spanish accounts.
peso is contracted by writing the s over
the p and placing it after the sum. But
the best origin of the sign is offered by
the editor of the London Whitehall Re
Uieao, who once propounded the ques-
ton at dinner party in that city, at
which the American Consul was pres
ent. AS no one could tell, the editor
gave the following explanation: at is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
sign is to be found. of course, in the as
sociations ofethe Spanish dollar. On the
reverse of the coin is representation
of the pillars of Hercules, and round
each pillar is q screll, with inscription
Plus Ultra This device in course of
time has degenerated into the sign
which stands at present for American
as well as Spanish. dollars The
scroll around the pillars represents the
two seFpents sent by Juno to destroy
Hercules in his cradle"

There IS n charming passage in MI.
q 1faussonyillc' latest article upon
American people and habits, a passage
suggested by his trip 10 Richmond, Va.
A ball was given at Richmond in honor
of himself and his associates during the
DAYS of the Yorktown celebration, and
he relates that the ball was arranged in
hired building by the ladies, and
chiefly by the Young girls, OF the best
Virginia society," There were not TWEEN
ty mothers or chaperons in the ballroom,
he declares; but there were at least
thirty unmarried girls. Among these
there were perhaps three or four who
spoke French; and among the French
visitors there was an equally sca1t
knowledge of English. Under such con-
ditions NJ. d'fIaussonyilie is amiable
enough to remind his compatripts, COM
versation would be rather cold in
France, but at Richmond. among the
American girls. conversation went on
ioyousIy and in the most spirited way,
and the evening was prolonged deep IN
to the night The Frenchlnen left the
ballroom with the conviction that they
had learned something distinct and fresh
about our society,". They were, in fact,
unanimously enthusiastic in favor of
the American girl. The young girl,
writes nj. d. Jacksonville, lis an insti-
tuition In America like the fire engine;
even more interesting. and upon this
subject / slsaaald like to say few
words. - WheEeupon he goes On to
state that in France there is legend
about the young American girl, just as
there IS i legend about the French girl
IN America. The former girl. he says,

A Wonderful Snake.

The season for snake stories opens
with this wonderful boom by genius
in Cumming county. Ga, the story APP
pearing in the Clarion of that place: s'In
our boyhood we often heard of a hoop
snake, one that. bringing its head and
tail together, rolled over and over ikela
wagon wheel. 1t was said that this
snake did its execution with its tail, that
being pointed like needle We never
had the terror of seeing one of them,
but did, when about years old, see a
jointed snake. The joints were about
six inches long,. When alarmed the
snake fell to pieces, the head joint dart
ing off like an arrow. to a place of con
cealment. That was the last snake of
the kind we ever saw until quite recent
ly we saw q hoop-jointed snake. We
were walking leisurely one day through
our field. All of sudden we were
startled out of ourselves By something
rolling by us, which locked like the rim
of q buggy wheel without the spokes.
When it passed about ten steps beyond
us, in making an effort TO turn, it acct
dentally struck the end of q projecting
rail- This must have alarmed it for all
at once it fell to pieces, and the head
joint darted through a crack of the
fence and into the swamp us quickly rs /
DDSS1D1c. remembering JGC 1O1NUeu
snakes of our boyhood and that our
grandfather had told us If we would
watch we would see the head return for
the joints left, as badly as. we were
scared we determined to watch andwait
the snakes return. Netunmindfult that
we had been told by them of old time
that the only protection from o hoop
snake was to get behind o tree or stump
on the opposite side from the one it was
coming, we took a position behind an
old stump and waited Developments
1t was not long before the head, came
slowly and cautiously through the crack
of the fence, raised itself to an angle of
forty-fve degrees, looked in every direc-
ton and then commenced the work of
rejoining its body and tail to its head
This was soon done. Its next move
ment was TO rear itself up perpendicu-
larly, or in other words to stand on its
tail AS the head went up we distinctly
saw that each joint possessed India rub
Der qualities, for as it, went up each
joint became extended until, when the
perpendicular position was attained,
the head was entirely out of sight. BY
a mathematical calculation we ascer-
tanned its head to be little less than
five miles high, when il passed outsof
sight. Having taken its bearings it
gradually contracted to nine feet. II
then made q circular dart of its.tail and
without more ado rolled off rapidly in
the direction of Atlanta.''
