Frank Butler remarked after one of his
races for the Derby that he could have won
on either of the first three horses. do not
know who the other two jockeys that opposed
him we're, but | can quite understand the
thing being feasible
Two men had ridden their own horses in a
races, After it was over the winner, who only
gained the verdict by head, said to his op-
ponent.
"Now, if you like, | will change horses and
run for the same amount again, weights and
distances as before"
This the other jumped at, and, after due
law, it was run off, when. to his utter aston
ishrnent. the loser of the first race was again
beaten, and the losing horse successful.
Many instances are 10 be read of where
jockeys, after winning o race Or match, have
persuaded some friend or master to buy the
horse that was opposed to them and make a
match with the winner, in which the verdict
has been reversed
The Druid records one or two instances in
which the Chifneys accomplished feats of this
sort. OF course sometimes it may happen
from their not considering the beaten horse
quite up to the mark at the time he ran; but
it is recorded also that in well known cases
they have seen that he has. not been SO han

The making Of the wooden pals is an
interesting study. Wooden shocks, the
exact size of the pail. are put into the
machine. which turns them out at the
other end n complete pail, bound with
three hoops, better and more evenly
fastened than coull he done by hand.
Another machine paints the pail inside
aud out. white being the prevailing color,
while a neat oak tint ornaments the out
side. Washtubs are made of the same
principle, and il is Need surprising how
many can be turned ont during the
working hours of the day.
But the making of w~ashboards is even
more surprising. The largest factory EN-
ployed in this business is located many
miles from this city. Here the trees are
cut down and the timber often allowed
10 lay for two years until it is properly
seasoned. Machinery is used to prepare
the timber aad make the washboards
with the required ribs. But after they
have been completed, a haul of twelve
miles is necessary in order to reach the
nearest railway station. Thence they
are transported to this city. After the
freight is paid they can be sold at so cents
per dozen, wholesale, or 6 2-3 cents each.
At the same time n profit is left to both
dealer and maker. The dealer said:

Markgraf Pallavicini, who lately lost
his life by falling from the top of the
Grossglockner in Tyrol, appears to have
beer a most extraordinary sort of a dare
devil. He had not only climbed all the
most difficult peaks in Switzerland and
Scandinavia, but was also quite at home
among the Himalayan giants. In max
ing an ascent he habitually refused to
take the easiest routes, and often bribed
his guides by offering them twice or
three times their usual fees for taking
him up the most difficult route.
A fellow-touris. relates that at one
time, to saw an hours time, Pallavicini
slid down the surface of a steep glacier
regardless of possible crevasses. On two
of his ascents the rope to which he was
attached broke, and another time, near
Zermatt, he rolled down a precipice sew
eral hundred metres without suffering
any damage. besides the loss of his sus-
penders. Nor did the bullets in'the bat

Work is now being done which viii
soon make il possible for merchants M
this city to set a cosy little desk in their
rooms and talk without rising
with people in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia as well as with every sub
scribcr of a new telephone company. A
copper circuit has already been COM
pleted between New York and Boston,
and the wires are fast approaching Phil
adelphia. Instead OF the ordinary tele-
phone Mt the wall the subscriber can be
furnished with a beautiful rosewood
desk about the size of a ladies' writing
desk, with plenty of room to write upon,
and with several drawers for papers.
The desk conceals the big magnet
which operates the bell and also the other
mechanism of a powerful telephone, ex-
cept two silver warning balls and the
transmitter. The transmitter with a sill
yer mouth-piece about the size of a sill
vcr dollar is held by a metallic arm
which is so arranged that it can be moved
to raise or lower the mouth-piece several
feet. BY an automatic device the trans
mitter is also kept in the same relative
position to the mouth at whatever posi-
ton it is set. The only other thing
which shows that the desk is not a gen
tleman's ordinary office furniture is a
little movable bar with four metallic
switches.
BY this device the subscriber puts him
self out of the city circuit and switches
himself onto the main line for New York
or Boston which he rings up and calls n
New York or Boston subscriber with less
trouble than is caused to call a subscriber
in the same city. The copper circuit is
perfect and free from induction. A re-
porter recently talked from the execu-
tive office of the company to New York
