TrOtting a Mile in Two Minutes.

Professor William II. Brewer, of Yale
college, has made the evolution of the
American trotting horse the subject of
much careful research and study. Our
ing the past decade" he said to a re-
porter, "the records have steadily been
lowered, and Mr.. Bonner is authority for
the statement that he expects Maud S.
will surpass her time of a day or two
ago before the simmer closes. it is my
firm opinion, based on many years of
deep study of the evolution of the rot
ting horse, that before another genera,
ton passes we shall hear of trotting
horses that can make mile under two
minutes. Horses are bred nowadays for
the single purpose of bringing ont their
trotting qualities, just as in England
they are bred solely with reference to
running. Now, if lot of thoroughbred
horses are bred within themselves, with
out admitting any mongrel blood, and
if they are trained solely for trotting,
there is no question that man can bring
the record down to two minutes and I'M
der. Mr.. Robert Bonner, who owns
Maud S ridicules such an idea, and he
may think this an impossible result.
am aware, rs he says, that trotting is an
acquired gait for a horse, and that run
ming is his natural gait. But still my
theory holds and if the thoroughbred
trotter is carried through one generation
after another, we shall one day see a
horse which can trot in two minutes, u

How the Hand Speaks.

The pyramids of and monoliths of Egypt
and the temples of India, were planned
and superintendent by people cele-
bratcd as having the smallest and most
delicate hands in the world.
The model Greek hand, as shown i
the ideal statues, is large, with moder-
ately thin palm and prominent thumb
The hard hand indicates one who east
ly puts forth continued action, endures
in physical effort and delights in ener-
getic activity.
The elastic or sinewy hand proves,
rapid, skilful activity. 1t is character
lied by energy rather than endurance.
Soft hands belong to one who labors
with fatigue and WEAKNESS.
In all occult matters the thumb plays
prominent part. 1t indicates the in
teligence and will. In general, large
thumb shows decision of character, per :
sistcncy of purpose, therefore is apt to
belong to one likely to succeed. A small
thumb shows one who is vacillating and
uncertain in his aims, Intermittent and
changeable in his efforts.
Short fingers indicate one who sees
in general, examines only the mass, COM
prehends the tout ensemble.
Long fingers indicate one who sees
the parts, appreciates the details and un-
derstands the minute.
Slightly tapering fingers indicate one
growing in the direction of Ideally.
Fingers lying close together, so that
no light is seen between them, especially
if the fingers are irregular, suggest aver
ice, secrecy and general selfishness.
Famous instrumental musicians, cele-
brated marksmen, skilled gymnasts and
artisans are apt to have square finger
ends. Pointed finger ends attest a per
son fanciful, cratic, romantic, impracti-
cal, changeable, sometimes unreliable
always peculiar.
Long nails indicate a peacemaker, one
who will bear much for the sake of quiet,
and is steadfast in friendship.
Short nails belong to one who will as
sert his rights.
Large white half-moons at the base Of
the nails announce a frank, open hearted
person, who naturally speaks his thoughts
and tells his plans and purposes. He
may keep a secret, but it requires an eff
fort. The naturally secretive person il
not apt to have any sign of half-moons
Pale spots on the nails, especially nea
the base, indicate disease of the nerves
and an inclination to melancholy. - Cut

THE STRENGTH OF TIE HILLS.

My thoughts go home to that old brown
house.
With its low roof sloping down to the
east,
And its garden fragrant with roses and
thyme,
That blossom no longer, except in rhyme,
Where the honey-bees used to feast.
Altar in the west the great hills rose,
Silent and steadfast and gloomy and
gray,
thought they were giants, and doomed to
keep
Their watch, while the world should wake or
sleep,
Till the trumpet should sound on the
judgment day.
l used to wonder of what they dreamed
As they brooded there in their silent
might,
While March winds smote them, or June
rains fell,
Or the SHOWS of winter their ghostly spell
Wrought in the long and lonesome night.
They remembered a younger world than
ours,
Before the trees on their top were born,
When the old brown house was itself tree
And waste were the fields where now you
see
The winds astir in the tasselled corn
Aud l was as young as the hills were old,
And the world was warm with the breath
of spring,
And the roses red and the lilies white
Budded and bloomed for my hearts delight
And the birds in my heart began to sing.
But calm in the distance the great hills rose,
Deaf unto ruptures and dumb unto pain
Since they knew that Joy is the mother oil
Grief,
Aud remembered butterny's life is brief,
And the sun sets only to rise again.
They will brood, and dream, and be silent as
now,
When the youngest children alive to day
Have grown to he women and men, grown
old,
and gone from the world like tale that is
tod,
And even those echo forgats to-day.

A Great Cider Year.

This will be cider year. Apples
have never been known to be more plenti-
full in Connecticut, though here and
there the crop has been blighted by in
sects. A ride in any direction will dis
close tree after tree laden with apples so
that the limbs fairly bend beneath their
weight, in cases to the point of breaking.
Even the miserable, scraggly, gnarly
trees growing by the roadside have the
fruit strung upon their branches as thick
as onions suspended from string in a
country store. Under the circumstances
it is likely that there are more apples
than can or will be consumed by the
market, and as other States share this
abundance with Connecticut, it is pre-
sumable that Thousands of bushels will
find their way into cider mills. Water.

Terrible Scene at n Bull Fight.

A Madrid correspondent says: At the
bull fight which took place in Vittoria n
few days ago a scene occurred which is
seldom witnessed on these occasions.
The first ball having been dispatched by
the primer espada Lagartijo, the car
cases of bull and horses dragged away,
and the blood marks covered with fresh
sand, the signal was given for the second
bull The beast appeared at the en-
trance, looking suspiciously around him,
and as torcro ran past him, he rushed
out more like a tiger than u bull, and
with such impetus that clearing the bar.
rier by a flying leap he alighted in the
midst of the terrified crowd. Those
nearest to the barrier jumped or Tell
headiong into the arena, while others
were tossed into the air. Ladies in the
nalcos screamed and tainted while the
bull kept driving furiouslv into confused
crowds OF men women and children,
killing some, and wounding others very
severely. a company of civil guards,
which were drawn up in line to keep
order during the bull fight, ran off.
When the bull had cleared half the plaza
Of its occupants, he paused to take
breath aud look at the arena, which was
full of spectators. Finding at last gate
open, he trotted out to the promenade,
sending several men, women and chill
drcn flying in the air. At last he was
brought down by three shots fired at
him by a civil guard. When calm had
been restored, the people very deservedly
Kissed the civil guards and .toreros for
their cowardice.

AN IMAGINARY INvALID.-An old story tells
how physician cured hypochondriac who
thinking his legs were inflicted with rheumatism,
had refused to walk for several years. The pa.
tient was placed on stool in room with an iron
floor, which was heated by fire from below. As
the heat increased. he got up. then stood on one
foot, then on the other, and finally jumped about
the room roaring like q bull calf. Cleveland
physician told reporter of The Plain Dealer how
he cured bod ridden woman by making her
angry.
but the most striking case of my life was that
of woman who had not left her bed for several
years. She ate well, she slept well, her pulse was
reasonably regular.
But every few days she would send for me in
great haste, and would 30 and make a slight
change in the bread pills on which l WAS keeping
her.
Finally got tired. and decided to try heroic
treatment. So, after hearing her story, | began
to laugh heartily.
Il looked at her, and then I would begin again.

kept getting more and more angry.

and threw it at me, ordering me to get out of the

THE REPUBLICANS base their objection to
the removal of republicans from Office on
the ground that the democrats gained their
victory 10 consequence of their professions
of civil service reform, and that they arc
repudiating those professions ny removing
republican Office holders. But none is so
blind as those who will not see. The per-
lection Of civil service reform consists IN
the removal of men who have used their
Offices for any other than their legitimate
purposes-the service Of the people; in
other words, in turning the rascals out"
To effect that purpose was The chief inspir-
ing motive of the men who voted for Mr.
Cleveland last November; and the more
numerous the removals BIC makes, the more
thoroughly will he be in accord with the
men who elected him.
