The Middlebury REGISTER now Tor more
thar a year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. 1t intends to con.
tinuc publishing such information from week
to week, giving nj least a page to its Horse
Department. when sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place it in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and II Reg
lister OF the more distinguished sircs and
performers. In the latter W. hope To include
all , 80 performers, with their breeding, SO far
us can be ascertained: also to distinguish be
tween things that are known and things that
are not known, in every pedigree. In all cas-
cs the evidence upon which the pcdigrccs are
based will he given to the public through the
columns OF TIE MIpDLEBURY REGISTER. This.
we are satisfied, is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason OF this extensive
information and this method of giving it, is
rapidly becoming Indispensable to all breed
ers and horscmcn. II should also he an cN-
ccllcnt medium tor advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.

EdtOr Register Some time during
the last summer | was handed Il clipping
from YOU valuable paper asking for ped
igreeS of Morgan bred horses; and. as |
am a breeder of that particular strain. |
herewith furnish the pedigree of my
stallion Brilliant GoldduSt. together with
the names and performances of some of
his colts.
Brilliant was sired by l.. l.. DOrsey's
Golddust (originaD, he by Vermont Nor
gan. he by Barnard Morgan. he by Gift

BuZzard.
Brilliant j. Chestnut nearly lj-3: no

eyes yellow and quite prominent have
never met his superior in style: do not

after having finished this season in the

not aware of it. If he has. it was done
at some of the Pumpkin shows. as he
took very many premiums for speed,
form and style. But few of his colts

THE ROAD TO REMUNERATION.
A Morning Pantomime which Leads to
Physical Health and Good Morals.

Physical Health and Good Morals.
Ev-Judge Horace Russell has inst re-
turned from a s|ojourn in Humboldt,
Germany. Physically he is a new man.
not because he has made a mineral
water cistern of himself, but because he
has discovered and puts into practice a
new system of gymnastics. Mr.. Russell
is a very strong man. II he sees a
street car derailed he feels an i~rresist-
ible desire to lift it on the tracks again.
He has a great admiration for Jean Val
jean, the hero of Les Miserables," who
could climb two walls built at "A right
angle. Mr.. Russell once had difficulty
i'll climbing a flight of stairs. Now he
never uses IN elevator. This is the way
he reiuvenated himself:
"A certain Geriaan professor named
Ling wrote a book on gymnastics about
half a century ago" said Mr.. Russell,
and his method he called kineslpathy.
No appliances, mechanical or medical,
are necessary. His theory was that mo-
ton is the principal agent in the whole
process of life, and that systematic mus
cular exercise is the simplest and surest
way to prevent disease and to strengthen
the moral character"
Mr.. Russell goes through this panto-
mime every morning. He stands rigid,
raises his arms sideways and upward,
then circles them rapidly forward, up
ward and sideways, down again. Still
standing he slowly moves his shoulders
so as to describe a circle forward. up
ward, backward and downward,
often enough to feel tired. Then with
his hands on his hips he keeps his legs
rigid but swings his body backward, for
ward, and in a circle, with his waist as
the pivot. He has a number of other
movements for the arms. such as rota-
ton in both directions while they are
held at right angles to the body. He
bends his head forward and backward,
turning it sideways and circling it as if
trying to unscrew it. He raises HIM
self on heel and toe, stretches, circles
and bends his legs, always with sytem-
attic regularity, The result is that every
muscle III his body is at IA tension, in
GLIDING many muscles, the existence of
which he never before suspected.
Craving for drink or tobacco" he
says, "or a disposition toward vice in
any form. is due to the morbid taste of
the systematic nerve. All kinds of aches
and pains are the result of weak nerves.
AN irritable, nervous system destro, 5 the
lucidity of reasoning and the capacity
for pleasure. Only in a healthy body
dwells a healthy mind."-Cor. BROOKLYN

London Parliament's Great Ben"

Great Ben" as the clock in the tower
of the house of parliament at London is
named, has a dial of twenty-five feet
ten inches diameter. The works weigh
$4,000 pounds, and it is guarded as care
fully as if it were a gold mine. A record
is kept of its workings, and it has varied
but one-tenth of a second in the last two
or three years. A person has to eli
400 steps to reach the clock. 1t takes
two men four and a half hours each day
to wind it up, and every morning the
record Is taken and transmitted to Mr..
Dent, the maker. -Chicago Herald.

The small town of Werda, in the
kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated for
its Temple of Serpents, a long building
in which the priests keep upward of
1000 serpents of all sizes, which they
feed with the birds and frogs brought to
them as Offering by the natives. These
serpents, many of them of enormous
size, may be seen hanging from the
beams across the ceiling, with their
heads hanging downward in all sorts of
contortions. The priests make the small
serpents go through various ~evolutions
by lightly touching them with a rod. but
they do not venture to touch the largest
ones, some of which are large enough to
enfold a bullock in their coils. 1t often
happens that some of these serpents
make their way out of the temple into
the town, and the priests have the great
est difficulty in c~oaxing them back. To
kill a serpent Intentionally is a crime
punished by death; and if a European
was to kill n the authority of the king
himself would scarcely suffice to save his
life. Any n killing a serpent uninten-
%tionally must inform the priest of what
has occurred and go through a curse of
publication, which takes place once a
year.-St. James Gazette.

A London ''Three- Wheeler"

a new tricycle. cab or three wheeler"
has just passed the usual police inspec-
ton and is now duly licensed for hire in
the streets of London. A newspaper
says that the new vehicle is comfortable
and roomy, that ladies' dresses can not
get spoiled by coming in contact with
the muddy wheel, and that the driver
can be communicated with without dis
location of the neck. All that is needed
for its success is, it is said, that passen-
gers should be satisfied that, with its
odd looking single wheel in front, it is
by no means dangerous. New York

The Arch Did Not Move.

And speaking of photographs, l am
reminded of the anecdote related the
other day by The Photographic News to
show that among photographers, at any
rate, the old adage, use is second ma
ture," still hold true. A Partisan photo
graphic artist was the other day en-
gagged in securing a new view of the
Arc de Triomphe, and he presently be-
came quite absorbed in his task, so
much SO, in fact, that he in due course,
much to the amusement of the crowd
gathered around, cried out in the me-
chanical voice which Photographic art
lists affect: Now, please, keep quite
still! One! two! three! Thank you
very much :" 1t is scarcely necessary to
add that the arch thus appealed to did
not move.-London Figaro.

A Russian Miilionaire's Smoking-Room.
A Russian millionaire has recently had
built for him in st. Petersburg a most
sumptuous smoking-room, which is the
establishment of all the northern capt.
tai. Its richness consists not so much
in its furniture, which is a model of
simplicity, but in its walls. These are
literally lined with European bank
notes. Instead of the mass of white
ceiling which forms the desperation of
disciples of William Morris is seen a pro.
fusion of Austrian notes most artistic
ally grouped around a blue 10 form
bank note. Charming designs composed
of French, English, Italian, and Russian
bank notes adorn the walls.
The curious room has received many
famous visitors from all parts of the
compass. Among others a celebrated
Hungarian painter was introduced. He
glanced up at the eccentric millionaire,
and said with a smile: "Sir, it is a pity
you have already thus disposed of your
money, for for the same amount |
would willingly have decorated your
walls-perhaps more artistically, indeed,
than is now the case-by covering them
with paintings, ever as Michael Angelo
died for his holiness, Pope Julius the
Second. "-Chicago Herald.

TROTTERS VS.. RUNNERS.

From DuntOn's spirit ot the Turf.
In making a comparison of prices oh
tanned ut the trotting horse sale of the
late j. {. Veteran. and the equally ia
nous thoroughbred stud of Pierre Loril-
lard, the same week, we are amazed ut
the facts. The - head of Mr.. Lorillard
sold at AN average of Sl,72I, while the
lac head at Glenview sold at an average
of 81 ,S5S. Hitherto, thoroughbred horses
have always Out-SOld trotters in general.
OF course, a few isolated cases, like that
of Maud :. and other stars, have brought
fabulous prices; but at the great auction
sales he runners have heretofore held
the lead. But now that the question of
superiority is emphatically settled, we
believe there will be no going backwards.
The wOrld-renowned Iroquois, with four
good mares thrown in, only brought
S25, $50; while at the Glenview sale Pan
coast, without any help, brought SIS, 1000.
The most famous of the Lorillard brood
mares brought only S4.0l0, while IA mare
comparatively unknown brought over
$1,000 at the Glenview sale. 1t will thus
be seen that trotting-horse breeders have
but just begun to prosper, and that in
the near future the boosted blood of the
thoroughbred horse will occupy second
DOsition.
