this season and had been owned by Jo-

its as sire began to be appreciated by
the public four years ago, and for the
past three seasons he has been quite pop
ular. He will leave in all about two
hundred foals of very uniform excellence,
not only for speed but for that style and
beauty for which their sire was so dis
tingushed. Motion was much faster
than his record. and last summer had all

and had strength, ambition and courage
without limit. Mr. Battcll has refused
many offers for him. one as high as six
thousand dollars.
1t is confidently expected however,
that the place of Motion as sire will be
more than filled by the handsome bay
nine-year-old stallion Thought, son of
Daniel Lambert, whose stock, now num-
bering about one hundred, are of the high
est promise and deservedly popular.
Thought has trotted in all, eleven races,
six of which he has won. and in each of
the other five has taken either second or
third money. He is now at Mystic Park
in the hands of ID. W. Bliss, who has
driven him in all his winning races.

Old Time Way of Keeping Apples.

At a recent meeting of the Kentucky State
Horticultural society an old member told how
forty years ago the farmers used to keep
apples fresh and crisp until June Their
mode was to put the fruit up in banks, just as
many now save sweet potatoes in the south.
At time Of harvest II spot Of high, we'll
drained land was selected upon which to bank
the apples. Here was scooped out sort of
saucer shaped bottom, upon which, after
covering with an inch or so Of straw, was
piled the apples, covering the same with some
six or eight inches of straw, and then with
enough earth to keep out the frost; not unfre-
quently however. covering the whole with a
layer of sods to protect the same from wash
ing. A hole was opened on the south side of
the bank during the winter when apples were
required, as much fruit taken out as was
needed and the hole closed up secure as be
fore

ZAHN. BY OAUNTlESS.
From Dmton'. spirit ot the Times

FROM DuntOn'~ spirit OF the Times.
Zahn, the gray son of Dauntless, has IA
remarkably romantic history. The horse
has been willing to go out and take a rec
ord for some time, being years old, and
having been quite a trotter for a year or
more before he was put upon the track.
From Newark exchange we CLEAN the
following points Mr.. +. b. CahOone was
owed sum of money by Hall, the New
ark bank defaultcr, whose wife had the
horse turned over to the former gentle
man. For time after acquiring posses
sion of Zahu, Mr.. Cahoone became con-
WINGED that the horse would make a trot-
ter, and to that end made arrangements
to have him trained. He was worked
a while, and showed that he was an eX-
traordinary performer. 1t was then adj
vised to enter him in some races, which
was done, and in June the horse made a
record of rs IL Finally Mr.. c. agreed
with Durham to have the horse entered
at Albany, Hartford and Springfield,
Durham to pay all expenses, and all
above them to be divided between them.
Meanwhile Mr.. c. was negotiating the
sale of the horse with Mr.. Foster of Bos-
ton, and after the Springfield engage
ment was ended, and record of , :23 l-2
made, the sale was consummated. Then
Mr.. CahOone telegraphed the colOred
man in charge of the horse to ship him
to Boston, instead of which the horse
was sent to Waverly, n. j., where he
had been entered without Mr.. C.'s con-
sent. TO cut long story short, Mr.. c.
paid Durham SiO0 to get possession of
Zahn, and then he became the property
of Mr. Foster for good round sum in
cash,

Stranded i'm London.

So far as can be seen, there has not
been this year so much distress among
the American colony of unfortunates
stranded here as in the past. Perhaps
it is too early in the season to crow vet,
however. The winter may bring its
full quota of misery and want. There
is no way of estimating the amount of
money which the solvent Americans
residing here annually give away to
their needy countrymen, but it must
run well up into the thousands of
pounds. Even with this there are hun
dreds turned away who may very likely
have as much claim as the others, and
still other hundreds who are too proud
or too timid to ask. Their tale of woe
has cruel thread of sameness running
through all its variations. They thought
they could do well in England; they
have failed; they are friendless and
starving. Sometimes it is ragged
drunkard who pleads for shilling;
sometimes genteel stranger who needs
a temporary loan of e10; the story is
the same. Two years ago there were
a good many survivals of the time, then
recent, when the business of starting
bogus stock companies fiourished here.
Americans came over in shoals to sell
this, to stock that, to float third-and
some of them made money. Those who
did not still remained, unable or I'M
willing to get away. My first expert
ence in England were with this piaus-
ible, sanguine, penniless gentry, who
watch for new American arrivals and
settle upon the unsuspecting like flies
on carcass. Scarcely any of them
deserve to be called swindlers. They
are simply spectators reduced to lu-
pine basis of Notwithstanding up
whatever can be found. The woe of it
is that these permanent borrowers tend
to steel the heart against bona .fde APP
plicants for honest help.-London Let

A Word to Young Girls.

Never give thyself to a man who has
nothing wherewith to commend him
self to thee but that he says he loves
thee. If in other things he be not what
he should be, thou never wilt be happy.
Thou admittest that the most accom-
plished man, who loves thee not, ought
never to become thy husband, for hor-
rible is marriage without mutual affec-
ton. Yet affection is not enough. If
the man be of infamous life, low
minded, or given to any vice, such as
drinking, the time will come that thou
wilt either abhor him, or sink myself
till thou be like him. Thy future con-
sort ought to be guide on whom thou
canst rely; protector and faithful com
panion and friend, as well as lover.
But will the man who loves strong
drink ever be this for thee? Nay, he
will be thy tormenting spirit and OPP
pressor, burden and a grief to thee
all thy life long. Many a young girl
has been mad enough to give herself to
man who she knew beforehand was
not a noble, pure-hearted and sober
man, merely because he loved her so
dearly" But ere long the fire of his
affection ceased to burn-she feels now
the icy cold, and grieves in vain. The
faithless husbands love has turned
away from her to strong drink! Young
girls, be on your guard against allowing
yourself to marry beer-barrel, whs-
key-butt or a wine-cask, instead of a
man who is worthy of your love-
Translated from the Danish.

till he falls asleep from sheer exhaus-
ton. On waking he resumes his tramp,
and his medical attendants insist that
he would be attacked with acute mania
and die in few hours. 1t is under
stood that since he was first attacked
with this singular disease, not more
than two years ago, he has walked far
enough to twice encircle the globe.
Everyone is familiar with the tendency
of persons suffering from insomnia or
anxiety of mind to pace the floor of
their apartments or the grounds of their
houses in an aimless yet persistent way,
as if actual relief was experienced from
the process. Madmen suffer from rest
lessness in exact proportion to the
acuteness of the mental fever Per-
sons threatened with delirium tremens
have been known to walk immense dis
tances, hating not. by night or by day,
till natural relief was obtained by the
exhaustion of the physical powers. In
the case quoted by the Chicago Times
there appears to be nervous irritation
rather than actual insanity, for the
man has been pronounced perfectly
sane by experts in lunacy. But the
specially interesting feature is the ex-
PLANTATION afforded of the stories current
and through the centuries of the Israel
tie who, for hooking word on the
slopes of Calvary, was laid under the
fearful doom of walking the earth till
the Judgment Day. All accounts de-
scribe this wanderer as appearing in the
principal cities of the world at remote
periods, differing in no respect from
tina same person described in the tradi-
tons of previous centuries. 1t is much
easier, however, to believe that there
have been men from time to time suf-
fering from this locomotor irritation
than that the score or more of ac-
credited records, with dates from Do
cletian down to the French Revolution
of 1896, refer to a single person, and
that person the living evidence of a
mirace.-Bultimor Herald.
