The Value Of the Percheron Stud
.Ln, Book of France.


It contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions Of about five thousand of
the best bred Percherons, and none
but the produce Of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry. Every
one Is familiar with the old breeding
axiom, "Like begets like or the likeness
ofsome Of Its ancestors. From this
alone the most obtuse mind willrcadily
perceive that a knowledge Of those
ancestors Is as necessary to the sue
cessful breeder rs the perfection Of the
animal himself: Stud books are histo-
ries Of the individuals of a breed, and
are, therefore, the only means by which
the value of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be, individually,
can only be ascertaincd by experiment.
This is the reason why animals of en-
italicized pedigrees, tracing through a
line of excellent ancestry, always com
mand higher prices. In this advanced
age Of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value Of
pedigrees, or opposing improvement
through the means Of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives and
should be regarded with suspicion.

Z Darlington was here Last year. He halls

pounds. Morelda has never visited this

woman who gave the name Of Mary
Ellison, and who comes from Bridge

with DorringtoR's angular features at

titles Of bis photographs in order to gain
his acquaintance, and then accom-
panied him regularly on his way to the
museum from his clearinghouse on North
Ninth street. Daring Dorrington's alb.
sence from the city the pair corresponded
regularly, and when the skeleton came
back here recently he expected fully TO
fulfill an engagement Of marriage which
had been contracted between them.
y From the first sight of Dorrington's col
league, Miss Ellison began TO grow cold to-
ward her first anatomical darling. She
had always been accustomed to stand for
long time each day admiringly before

day Skeleton Dorrington bitterly re-
preached Miss Ellison with her unfaith-
fulness He says that she told him that
her affections were unalterably changed,
and he acted upon supposltion Of such a
state Of feelings in her. Just after the
crowd had been cleared from the freak
hall yesterday afternoon he struck Mo-
relda savagely in the left eye with the
words: "You can take that with her."
Morelda thrust his hand in the pocket Of
his apology for trousers and seemed
about to draw q knife when the lecturer
rushed In, and, in endeavoring to separate
the skeletons, received the injuries from

Mr.. Wilson Soule, Secretary and Treas
urer Of the Hop Bitters Manufacturing
Company, has been spending the last two
days here, arranging his advertising mat
ters, and was interviewed by UNION re-
porter as to the results and the worth OF
newspaper advertising. He said that for
the four years previous to 1878 they spent
all their money in bill posting and circu-
lars, from which they received no profit; In
fact, they got back just about half what IL
cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars.
In the spring Of 1878 they placed an ad-
vertising order Of $4,000 with II. P. Hub
bard, OF New Haven. The results were
sales of $l07, 1000. They increased the ad-
vertising the following year to 100000, the
sales being SS60,OOO. The next year they
spent $4,000, with S4S0, 600 sales, and the
next year the expenditure was slightly in
