THE SALARY OF A JOCKEY.
iforse-Racing an Expensive and Dan.
gerous Business-A Riders
Salary.

II any one believes that horse-racing
S not an expensive business when ones
lorse doesn't win he has only 10 look
about him to be satisfied. \ stable of
iay twelve horses or even eight is not
Kept up short of from $40 to SO a day,
exclusive of jockey fees and railway
transportation. There is a trainer at a
salary Of from $50 to 500 a month, 4
foreman at SIS to 800, and there are
generally two darkey grooms for each
horse. Then there is the feed-stable
outfit to be kept up and an endless array
of little things to be bought. Then
there are the entry fees and forfeits
That IN the course of a season amount TO
great deal of money.
The jockeys take 4 great deal out of
the profits, too, when there are any. Ike
Murphy, the cOlored jockey, who Just
now enjoys the distinction of being
called the Archer Of America, receives
81, 600 year from Baldwin for the first
call on his services, and $1,000 a year
from Corrigan for the second call. That
is, when Baldwin has a horse in race
Murphy must mount for him. When
Baldwin has no entry or it was with
drawn, then COrrigan can call on the
Jockey. When neither has 4 horse on.
then Murphy can ride for the owner
that pays him the best. What with sal
aries, fees, gratuitieS and Il turn now
and then at the pool box, Murphy is
said to have an income of Slj.GeG Il
year. When he wins bic tnd un-
expected stake the lucky owner usually
gives him from 500 to 81 900 rs a pres
ent. Lucky Baldwin gave him $500
extra the year he won the Derby with
VOlante, and $50 the other day when
he won it with Silver Cloud
The next best paid of the jockeys is
Duffy, rider for the Haggin stable. He
receives 200 year straight. and can
ride for anybody else when Haggin has
no horse in the race. These are the two
best riders on the turf. Last year Muir
ply won iifty-five mounts and lost but
Duffy won thirty-three
mounts and lost seventy-nine. Kelly is
rider for Porter Ashe, and WitherS. the
boy who was injured the other day,
rides for W. G.. Barnes. Both are
well paid. Many may think it absurd
that jockeys should be enabled to earn
such large sums, but, when the hazard
Gus nature of the business is taken into
account and the skill and judgment re-
quired considered, the boys do not seem
oyerpaid.
1t is the most dangerous occupation
in the world. The liability of horses 10
bolt, stumble, to shy, or to do any one
of the dozen things that horses under
excitement are likely to do, is almost
sure to result in disaster if indulged in
at the frightful speed with which they
go. The accident to WitherS and the
Ceath of his horse, Forrest, the other
day, was a startling illustration of the
perilS of the track. Again, some horses
indeed, most race horses of high blood
and mettle-are inclined to be vicious
and headstrOng. They frequently run
away in their exercising and training
gallOpS and become uncomfortable.
Such brutes are a constant menace to
grOOmS and jockeys, and accidents are
far more numerous than the public
hears.

The Folly Of Hair Dye.

| regret very much to notice the grow
/ ing popularity of the custom of dyelng
dark hair locks light among my fair
country-women. L was present at an
afternoon reception at the house OF an
American lady the other day, and i'll my
| immediate vicinity sat four ladies, all
! Americans, each one of which had her
hair dyed of different hue. One head
| boasted of reddish chestnut locks, an
other was of a red-gold color, third
was canary yellow, and fourth was OF
the palest gold. Now, there is nothing
positiyely immoral about the practice OF
| dyeing ones hair any more than there
! is in painting ones face or of blacken-
ing ones ewes. But all these perform
ances tend to give the person that IN
dulges in them highly improper aspect.
| Moreover, to certain constitutions some
forms of this hair-coloring process are
highly injurious. \ most lamentable
case of this nature has just come under
nv own observation. 1t IS that OF a
Young French married lady, who, not
being content with her own hair, whlch
was of pretty light brown tint, went to a
fashionable hair dresser and went
through n tireSome and oft-repeated
process to change the color of her tresseS
into a golden hue. She was forced TO
remain some hours every morning Tor
several days with her head coated with
a sort of paste, and this process had TO

II results in agoniZing headaches. L
have seen her at a soiree with the large
tears running down her cheeks from
sheer excess of pain. The other day
her sufferings eliminated in an attack
of insanity. She was removed TO an
ASYLUM. and the physicians in attend
ance give very little hope of her recov-
cry. If there exists such malady as
braIn-poisoning she is undoubtedly Its
victim.
The hair-dyeing business IS by no
means a cheap amusement. FOR tne
purposes to which the unfortunate lady
aforesaid submitted herself, and which
must be repeated every month, SO for

most potent and popular of the blonde

some of these dyes destroy the halr,
causing it to fall out by the handful.
Others produce terrible headaches, that

a third to st. Bridget. All these various
gods and sacred objects are for the edu-

PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS.
Designers for Holiday Novelties Al
ready Hard at Work.

Few people Sweltering in this August
! heat have an idea that we have women
hard at work at the present time rack
| ing their brains over what shall be the
new designs for Christmas cards next
winter, - remarked dealer to reporter
Not only that, hut it would surprise
/ you, perhaps, to see some of the entirely
new and elegant models for next Christ
mas already made. Just wait a moment
and | will give you a surprise.
The dealer brought out from a small
back room pile of large fiat pasteboard
| boxes. They contained the cards re-
/ ferred TO. Most of them were in white
satin and plush. There were fifty diff
/ ferent designs. One was banner s by
Il inches in size, with white satin folded
down each side and tied back with gold
cord to represent curtains. The picture
represented ah angel, the face b 1ing re-
markably pretty. Another was a STAN
dard banner, leaf shaped, covered with
white plush and having border of gold
cord. Or the centre was the represen-
tation of an artists palette containing
a hand-painted picture. Through the
palette was put a bunch of dried grass.
Another handsome design was a PIN
cushion of white satin, with white-plush
border and containing embossed flowers
in colored plush. y very beautiful de-
sign was a jewel-box Is inches long by
inches wide covered with pink plush
and bOrdered with gold cord. On the
top there were embossed flowers in plush,
and the whole was lined-with light-green
satin. \ number OF the models were
made in japanese silk, which is to be
prevailing novelty for the coming holl-
day trade. One of these was wall
pocket in white, with corner turned
back. On the front there were embossed
flowers in plush. Another odd design
resembles a pocket-book. 1t is covered
with pink plush, and the corner is turn
ed over, showing a lining of green silk.
The point where the part turned over
meets the plush is marked by bug of
white plush and gold wire. \ very
petty design is white satin satchet
bag on which is embossed in white plush
a half moon and an open lily with natur-
al colored leaves, all in plush. Designs
of autumn leaves, in white plush and
gold, with hand-painted winter scenes

also shown

A Curious Custom of Divination,

In Berlin there is an association of
theological students bearing the name
of "WingolfiteS, which has for years
observed on the Wednesday before As
cension day the curious custom of divi-
nlng for the emperor's destiny. The
way of doing this is unique. The mem-
bers of the association proceed from
Berlin to the village Of Pichelswerder
en- the Havel, and here they celebrate
the anniversary of the guild at the VIII
helmshohe restaurant. They immedi-
ately climb up an oak tree in the center
of the garden and seat themselves on
the branches. Beer is handed up from
the ground and after the third glass has
been drained the president delivers the
anniversary speech, after which cheer
is given for the emperor. Then at the
word of command all glasses are hurled
to the ground and the notion is that the
emperor will live rs many years as there
are broken glasses. This year twelve
glasses were broken, so that the empe
peror should yet be eenteparian.

PERSIAN HORSES.
Wonderful Speed and Endurance or
Very Short Measurements.

Mr.. Wolf Won Schlerbrand. Whose

one of his early calls after his arrival in
New ork was at the office
where he got his first lessons
IN lncisive journalism. The Persia OF
reality is far different from the Persia of
romance and imagination. 1t is land
without roads and without civilization.
The rough bride paths speak unmis-
takably to the tourist of a non-progress
i've people. The saddle is in general
use, and the best horses are the Arabs,
and after them come the Turcomans.
Some OF the latter attain to great size.
and are used by the rich for display.
The average TurcOman is fleet and
hardy horse, capable of going from 10)
to 10 miles without rest. He is educa-
ted to get along with very little water,
and TO subsiSt on balls of highly concen-
trated food, the two principal ingredi
ents of which are suet and barley flour.
W hen the master cOntemplates raid,
he gradually reduces for period OF
thirty days, the food and water allow
ance OF the horse, and thus inures it to
priVatlon. Grass does not grow in the
vicinity of Teheran, and the principal
food of the horse is barley, except for
two months each year, when the daily
ration IS of herbs possessed of laxative
properties
Outside of the gates of Teheran is the
race course, the longer circuit of which
is about five miles. Only one meeting
Is held each twelve-month. and it is at
the beginning of the Persian New Year,
the opening of Spring. Arabians, Tur-
comanS, and a cross between the Cos
sack and Turcoman compete, and the
chief race is five circuits, or about
twenty-one miles. Mr.. Schierbrand saw
the distance run in y minutes IL see
onds. Either the time taken was not
correct, or the winner was wonderfully
good horse. The purses were of gold
and silver coins, tied up in little bags,
which were pitched to the successful
Jockeys, who caught them in their tur-
bans. No entrance fee is charged to
the races, and no betting system is car
ried out. About two hundred thousand
persons cheered the contestants, the
walls of the city being dense with peo-
pie. The outer walls overlook the
course, and from them the spectator
gets grand view of the horses. The
Shah witnesses the sport from a pavilion,
as do also his officers and members of
the different legations. The jockeys are

be enormous.

Temperance In ohio

The advocates of temperance have
won point In the contest in Ohio,
where the Legislature has passed what
is known as the Dow Liquor Tax bill,
q measure similar in most particulars to
the Scott law, which was defeated In
tha Supreme Court. The new law pro-
vides for yearly assessments instead of
license fees, the tax on the sale of
spirituous liquors being 5000, and on
malt liquors S100. Where liquorsellers
refuse to furnish to the assessors the
information required by law, the as
sessment is increased to S400. The
penalty for false returns of the kind OF
liquor sold is an increase of the assess
meut to $3.50. Local option Is provided
for in q clau9e which empowers muni-
cipal corporations to regulate and pro
hibit ale, beer and porter houses, and
other places where liquors are sold, and
whoever sells to minor, or a person In
the habit of getting Intoxicated, is TO be
subjected to fiue of not more than S16O
nor less than $50, and imprisoned not
more than thirty and less than five
ldays. If one section of the law ID
declared unconstitutional, q provision

A Yankee Bound TO Fight.

BOSTON, May 20.-In spite of all de-
malls, 1t is fact that the schooner
August E. Herrick, of Swans Island,
Me-, Captain William L. herrick, left
this port to-day after her captain put
on board two 80 inch breech- loading
yacht guns, as he himself said, for de-
fensive use in fishing trip In the Bay
of Fundy.
The clerk in the store where the guns
were bought says that when the Cap
tain asked him for guns he showed him
these two, saying they would cost 5000
and would penetrate steel armor one
and one half inches thick at the dis
tance of a mile. 81 think these are
powerful enough" said the Captain,
''and will take two. / am going to
sail for the Bay of Fundy and 1 don't
propose to have any cheap Canadian
pirate seizing my schooner. / don I
propose to act on the defensive at all
but il they try to capture my vessel
shall fight"
The two guns were delivered on board
at onoe, with large amount of ammu
milton and small arms, and the vesse
sailed this afternoon. The gun stort
clerk says that Captain Herrick's can
non can be fred twenty times minute
and will sink any cutter in the Bay o
Fundy.
