A GOOD GAME.

1t was intimated little over yea

the prettiest games seen on the home
grounds for several years, only having
four errors, and two of those were due To

Danish Rule in Iceland.

Iceland, with about "a, 900 inhabitants, is a
Danish possession and supported a constitu-
tlonal contest against the arbitrary rule of
the Danish government until a constitution
was granted thirteen years ago. But the
popular party and the government still con-
tinue in opposition to one another The for
mer introduced an amendment to the consti-
tuition this year, but although the legislative
session extended over two months, the COM
mittee did not report upon the proposal until
few days previous to the close Of the ses-
sion, when it was too late to do ANYTHING.
The dissatisfaction caused by that delay was
considerably increased by the Danish govern
mert vetoinS law issued for the regulation
OF the fisheries in the bays and firths which
the sea makes in the shores Of the island.
All seafarins nations, not the Danes only.
but also the French, the English, the Dutch
and tho Norwegians come to these quiet Ice
landic waters and carry away what the Ice
landers naturally consider their own stock In
trade and provisions. They have not got
such big vessels as the other nasions, and in
their little open boats are always at disad-
vantage in competing with foreign fishermen
That is why they made a law dedicating their
fiords to their own fishermen. But the Danish
government refused ratifying it, These and
other circumstances render the condition Of
the poor in Iceland very wretched, and emf
grafton is going on at great rate Most of
them go to Winnipeg, where they have al
ready established a prosperous colony, with
a newspaper in their own language. The
weather having been very mild this summer
in Iceland, producing unusually large quaH-
titles Of hay for their cattle, there will not
be SO many emigrants as in former years.

The F1eck o. Gold.

There is found in the chasm Of tho Devils
Bite, Wyoming, and there alone, curious
little animal which Is generally known rs
the fleck O. gold, though it also rejoices in the
equally glittering names Of the golden guide
and tho golden gopher. The little fellow un-
doubtedly belongs to the gopher tribe. The
feck O. gold is Of a general golden hue.
This hue represents the various shades of
gold, from the duller colors of the precious
metal in its native state to the brilliancy
given by the stamp Of the mint. The duller
hues are blended on the body, while the
brighter one spreads itself along the tail.
This tail is the glory Of the fieck o gold and
the wonder Of the beholder. Fifteen inches
in length, or more than three times as long
as the little animal of which it is dazzling
continuation, this tail is as the glance of
gold 1t is instinct with action, an action
which has no apparent purpose but that Of
display, and jerks and writhes, curls and
twists with the swiftness and light of a sun
ray The feck o gold is vainglorious con-
corning this tail, and when for his own edit
cation he folds it many times around his
body, Transforming himself into ball of
FURNISHED bullion, the brilliant exhibition
pleads hard in extenuation of the little fell
lows vanity.
The feck O gold digs deep, and his burrow
is regarded as an unfailing indication of the
presence of gold. As a matter of course,
many and diverse speculations are, extant in
regard to the origin Of this singular and
brilliant little animal. The theory most ad-
vanced and believed in is that the heck O
gold was at first but common gopher, but
that the constant contact with the golden
soil in which he burrowed so fiecked his coat
with the precious yellow particles that nature
herself at last took cognizance of the matter,
and the golden coat was made hereditary.
The extraordinary length Of the tail is &C
counted for by the supposition that it is a
sympathetic growth, designed especially by
nature as brilliant advertising vehicle of
the hidden riches Of Devils Bite.-Chicago

Useless Shedding of Blood.

The Eid-i-Gurhan Festival Of Sacrifce)
was celebrated at Teheran on Aug. 30, and
it was estimated that 10000 sheep were
killed in and around tho capital 1t Is the
custom for the shah to sacrifice a camel in
public, the ceremony being actually per-
formed by one of the princes as deputy for
his majesty, and he is vested with the jagheh,
or ensign of royalty, which he wears in his
hat This year an unprecedented event oc-
CURED The camel that was to be sacrificed
was brought to the palace door TO be in
spected by the shah, and, in the temporary
absence of its attendants, it wandered into
the corridor through which his majesty was
to pass. The shah appeared before the camel
could be driven out, and he was SO much
touched by its beseeching expression that his
majesty ordered not only that it should be
spared, but that, in reward for its sagacity
in seeking the sanctuary of the shah-el-shah,
it should be given comfortable quarters for
life in the royal meuagerie
Another camel was then brought, which
was slain at stroke by the shah's deputy,
who was richly clad and covered with jewels
Small portions Of the skin and flesh were car
ried into the palace, where the shah received
them in state; but directly the royal cortege
vanished, the remainder of the still CULVER
ing carcass was literally torn TO pieces by the
people, every one endeavoring to get bit of
the flesh, as it is considered lucky to eat it

A Chemical Anomaly.

An astonishing result has been reached by
DR.. Richardson, the English Psychologist, in
some experiments on the respiration of ami
mails in pure oxygen. In most cases steady
flow Of fresh oxygen rendered the animals
confined in it excited and feverish, and none
were quoted or made sleepy. When, how
ever, the oxygen, after having been passed
once through the chambers containing the
animals, was collected, purified and again
used all the warm blooded animals, such as
the cat, dog, guinea pig, rabbit and pigeon,
became drowsy and fell quietly asleep; and
when the gas was again used after another
publication the sleep Lecame deeper, and
some of tho animals soon died The oxygen
appeared chemically pure at each time of
using; and the cause Of its remarkable change
in effect is as yet mystery. Whether some
peculiar modification of oxygen is formed
during respiration, or whether the toxic
properties are due to some active product of
respiration which has escaped detection in
the inhaled gas, is a problem which will
doubtless be studied with much interest,"

''Some dealers have agents scattered over
the country, who purchase horses from the
farmers and send them to the city. The
agent receives commission OF IS for each
horse thus delivered to his employer. Then
there are the agricultural fairs the latter
sails, bazars in the cities and the large horse
markets in the west, where the 'railroaders'
are bought.
"In the trade 'railroaders' include horses

"a good 'railroader' is worth at retail $3.50,
and at wholesale about half that amount.
Carriage horses cost about 81 500 pair, and
are therefore too high priced for our custom
ers and their needs.
"The horses are shipped by rail in the
usual cattle car, which holds, when properly
slowed, about twenty -four ponies or eighteen
horses. A more expensive and, for the occu-
pants, more comfortable way of transporting
them, is to ship the horses through the Arms
Palace Car company. One of the coaches of
this company is simply parlor car for
horses, in which there are palatial accommo-
dations for a dozen and a half.
