The event of the past week III sporting
stallion race at Mystic Park for the cham
picnship of America. In this race Pilot
Knox. owned by John May Of Augusta,
won in three straight heats, the best time

81, 45o. Pilot Knox being bred in Maine
and always owned here gives Maine no.
torety as horse breeding State not hereto
fore enjoyed, and one that will be envied
by other States. 1t will also enhance the
value of Pilot and Knox horses. We hear
of an instance in point In this county,
where an offer of 500 for a sucking colt
before the race, was doubled Immediately
after.
Maine has now lead in reputation as
horse-brecding State which is likely to
be of great value. Taking the lowering
of the three-year-old record at the Maine
State Fair. In connection with the tri-
umphs of Pilot Knox, we may pride our
ourselves on Maine horses. 4 leading
horse dealer says that these two triumphs
are worth a million dollars to the State of
Maine in the increased demand and cul-
ture of Maine horses which they will ere

Poison from CoIored Underwear

Medical journals warn their reader. against
the use OF cheap colored clothing next to the
person. These garments are generally Of cotton
materials, and the coloring stuff, bright and
SNOWY, is not always HARMFUL but frequently is
a dangerous one. The Medical and Surgical
Reporter says: There ought to be sanitary in
spector not only for all food--whether solid or
huid-that is offered for sale, but also for articles
OF wear. The demand for cheaper goods and the
great competition has made many manufactur
ers reckless, and they seem to care very little il
they inJure the health Of individuals, il they only
produce goods which are cheap and show. A.
not every. buyer can be an expert, purchasers
ought to be protected by the law, making the
adulte r.tions OF any article offered for sale a
the purpose OF investigating and discovering ali
dangerous swindles Of that kind. Meanwhile il
would be best for all buyers to avoid all cheap
articles, which mainly attract by their bright
colors. In wool the danger is not so great as
WOODEN materials may be easily dyed by finocuous
vegetable colorng Matters

POETRY.
Mans A Kicker.

Give to him power and friends and wealth.
Give to him love and home and health,
Give To him ease and peace and rest,
Give TO him all that makes lite hest,
Give to him what the heart most graves,
What makes the patriot tried and true,
What lifts tho martyr to the blue,
And shapes him fer the nohlcst trust;
Give him choice of youth or age
The manners that do most engage,
The poets fire, the painters art
That burns the brain or moves the heart;
or give him all the things 10 eat
The ripe, the luscious. sour or sweet,
And add to these flesh, fish or fowl.
Then listen and you'll hear him gnowl--
For mans Kicker.
Give TO him sorrow, grief and care,
The sorcst crosses man may bear,
The toughest paths, the blacklist Voc.

Enfold the light like funeral shrouds,

Cold hands upon him. Let his life

Home.
robert CoHyer.)

Here is man who has been down town all
day, in the full tide of care, that, from morning
to to night floods the markets, Offices, and streets
possibly a little disheartened, he starts for hi,
home. II it is winter when he enters, there is a
bit Of bright fire, that makes bad temper seem
like sin in the contrast a noise of children,
that is not dissonant; and an evident care for
his comfort, telling palmer than any words, how
constantly he has been in the mind OF the house
mother, while breasting the stress and strife of
the day; while low, sweet voice, that excellent
thing in woman, greets him with words that rim
pie over the fevered spirit like cool water. And
the man who can nurse bad temper after that
deserves to smart for it. There is no place on
the earth into which a man can 20 with such
perfect assurance that he will feel the shadow of
healing, as into such home as that. 1t i, the
very gate OF heaven.

gerry the Last Resert-A Telling Letter.
Here Is a fact for you to think over, viz
Medical science proves that diseases, no matter
how great n variety they seem to have, proceed
from comparatively few causes. Ii Is for this
reason that some 81. gle medicine relieve or
cure so wide range II compaints-some of
them ppeariug almn.t directly opposite in

acts at once upon the digestive aud urinary
organs. and also purifies the blood. the list of

Horses Without Grain.

DO we feed our horses too much
grain, Do we raise poor hay' l..
B. Terry of Ohio asserts. Ill the
Country Gentleman, that he has not
fed two pairs of horses any grain
for months, and the only food they
have had has been hay. These
horses weigh 1900 lbs. apiece, work
hard, and are fat and hearty. We
believe Mr. Terry is an honest man,
and we think he knows how to raise
good crops. Furthermore, the edi'
tor of the G. G. is interested In a
farm, where the horses have had no
grain for perhaps two years, and
keep in good condition. With the
best quality of timothy hay, there is
no doubt that horses could dispense
with a great deal of grain, now eat
enon account of poor hay. AS rule,
our hay fields are not what they
should be. They are starved. Be-
sides, it is safe to say many farmers
feed so many oats that all of them
are not digested.
