a Blooded Racer,s Pluck.

A blooded racer possesses one essential
quality that scrub horses seldom have
pluck. You will find many common
horses that possess fine points, so far as
wind, muscle and structure are concerned;
but in race they will nearly always
throw up their tails and give up in disgust
if passed by an adversary, or If they feel
like they can't win. Flora Temple, the
queen of trotters in her day, was an ex-
ception to this rule. She never knew
what it was 70 be beaten, and always put
forth her utmost efforts until the driver
commanded her to slacken her speed. A
race horse is like gamecock in that he
must have nerve to supplement his nat
ural powers. There are blooded animals
that will go their level best until they
drop. 1t is useless to use a whip on that
kind of an animal; they are born fighters,
and exult as much in a victory as their
owners. Such racers also have superior
intelligence, and if they are not too high
strung they can be trained in the arts AID
tricks of the turf. All blooded animals
do not possess pluck, however, and such
as are lacking in this quality are more fit
for the piow than the track.-'Jockey"

Tho shops of Cuba's Capital.

The shops and cafes of Havana are
surely more bright and interesting than
those of any other city. Among the shops
you will find no great establishments COW
ering half acre of ground, half dozen
stories high, and giving one feeling OF
despair to enter; but they are all on one
floor, high, cool, pretty, and many ladies
have habit of shopping from their car
riages, to which the pleasant clerks or
chivalrous proprietors bring for inspection
and purchase any article desired.
In America it is the endless effort of
merchants to get goods of every possible
description under one roof Here, tho
shops as n rule are more characteristic
and individualized. One merchant deals
in silks and trimmings; another only in
velvets and velveteens; another may show
superb lines of linen; another sells cot
tons and prints alone; woolens can be
found only at the merchant in wools; all
manner of laces occupy tho attention of
others, and rarely will you find the
general notion store so common with US.
So, too outside of the textile fabrics these
divisions are vigorously observed. A
photographer is not 'an artist;' bronze
goods do not include pottery; the ieweler
sells jewelry, not watches and clocks;
the woodenwarc, ironware and basket
ware merchants are not each all the
others, and wine merchants do not sell
soap.-Edgar l.. Wakeman's Cuba Letter.

There are few women who can put q
truth more forcibly or clearly than Grace
Greenwood. Being asked q few days
since whether she had found foreign girls
superior to the American girl, the bril-
liant authoress responded: "Such ques-
tions as that are fired at me, point blank,
almost every day. Think of these ques-
tions-aM of which have been asked Of
me: do you still, after all the mon
archical splendors you have seen, believe
in a republican government? Did not
the grand procession of royalties at the
queens jubilee stagger your democracyr
DO you approve, as you once did, of our
free institutions, and feel proud of the
privileges we grant to women and the
Difference we pay them? How do you
like America now, after seeing so much of
Europe and its government?
"Such questions are little better than in
suits. might as well be asked plainly
if, after mingling little in conservative
and aristocratic foreign society, / had
turned snob, after the custom Of consuls
and the manner of minister's; or if / was
ready to stultify myself by opposing the
higher education and the political rights
of women. If the best of earthly friends
the one dearest and most revered, wer>
living, should hardly be surprised to be
questioned by some one: After an ac-
quaintance with the English mamma, the
French mere and the Italian madra, what
do you think of your motherp " 1t is
very evident from this forcible reply that
America has at least one among its famous
and brilliant women whose republican
principles foreign travel and associations
have not changed. William j. Box in

ANNAPOLIS MD. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH ? 1885,
pocupen.s q HIs.or.cal Interest.

The archives Of the government are
kept in the library of the department OF
state, and constitute a vast collection of
precious documents. There are a great
many of historical interest. The first
draft of the Declaration of Independence
and of the federal constitution are here
preserved. Washington's commission as
commander-in-chief Of the American
army, and host Of documents pertaining
to the revolution and the early days OF
the government are to be seen. The let
ters and papers of Washington, Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe and some of the
other presidents are preserved in large
volumes, manye of the manuscripts ap-
! pearing as clean and distinct as If writ
ten yesterday. Autograph letters from
kings and queens, princes, statesmen and
historical personages who have flourished
during the past 100 years are to be found
in these collections. Here are the origi-
nal copies of all the laws enacted by con-
gress, and of oil the treaties made by the
United States with foreign nations, from
the first, with France, 1778, and the sec
ond, with England-the treaty Of peace,
bearing the date of Sept 8, 17SS-down to
those of recent years.
One. treaty with Turkey is gorgeously
embellished with golden letters, but the
most unique treaty in the collection is one
with Japan, which is contained in costly
lacquered case covered with silk. The
quaint Japanese characters, covering
many pages of fine paper, are clearly and
boldly portrayed. The royal signature
appears at the top, and you read from the
bottom. The treaty was brought to
Washington by two officers Of high rank,
who were charged with its safe delivery
on peril of their lives. One day they tri-
umphantly marched into the department
of state bearing aloft on bamboo poles
queerly constructed box, in which was
the important document. Glad indeed
were they to have escaped the disastrous
chances of land snd sea, and when the
royal agreement finally passed into the
hands of the secretary of state they ap-
peared greatly relieved, for their heads
were no longer in danger. Washington

Remittances FROM Postmasters.

OF tho 1900 postmasters who make
their settlements with the government
through the St. Louis sub-treasury, quite
number make their remittances in a novel
way. Some send the money sewed up in
little tobacco bags, some lay 1t down fiat
on cloth, put another piece of cloth on
top of it and then stitch all around the
money. Others spread mucilage on piece
of paper, lay the coin fiat on the sticky
surface, and with another piece of paper
on for cover the money is shipped in
that way. don't know why they are so
particular, unless they imagine the pack
ages to be insecure. Some send the money
in cigar boxes, and there are several other
sorts of packages that are just as odd.
The nickels, ten cent pieces, ETC., are
separated by some in different packages,
as if they were afraid that the big pieces
might swallow the little ones If they were
put together. Some collect oil the pennies
they can get, and we often get So or $4
in pennies from one postmaster. OF
coure the pennies come handy TO supply
our local demand for them. Last sum-
mer we were short Of pennies, but we.
have quite a supply Of them now. Oc-
casionalIy we get mutilated money. We
send back mutilated nickels and dimes,
but it is not worth while to return the
pennies, for they pass.-Assistant Treas

The way to Fan Down.

ssThe special providence that seems to
hover over drunken men and children has
something of an explanation, - said well
known and eminent medical man to re-
porter, in the fact Of the main cause of
the breakage Of bones from falls being
from a resistance of the tendons more
often than from the violence of the shock
incident to the actual fall. A child or an
intoxicated person will rarely endeavor
with any great effort to recover their bal
ance when they slip or topple over. Hence
no special resisting force is exercised, and
they sink into collapsed heap without
serious injury. When an adult in posses
sion of his sound senses undertakes, with
endless contortions and gyrations, to save
himself from going down, he draws every
muscle and sinew taut, and II the wrench
is too severe the bone breaks. There is
no way of definitely proving it, but it is
asserted, and I believe with some show Of
truth, that some, at least. Of the fractures
resulting from falls, especially from q
height, happen before the actual shock
with the substance one falls on occurs.
It's strange, but guess II 10 the truth. |"

PRICE ONE CENT
THE STRENGTH or CIGARS.
A Kansas City Dealer Says 1t Is Not
Indicated by the Color.

Indicated by the Color.
''It is surprising" said prominent
tobacco man the other day, "the amount
of misinformation that prevails among old
smokers even in reference to the strength
of cigars as indicated by the color OF the
wrapper. These colors run from claro.
the lightese, to oscuro, the darkest, but
the latter is a very rare color and is sell
dom seen nowadays. Now, ninety-nine
smokers out of hundred fancy that the
strength of the tobacco is regulated by
the color of the cigar, but It is q great
mistake. 1t has little or nothing TO do
with it whatever, but the man who calls
for a claro walks off entirely satisfied that
he is necessarily smoking mild cigar,
whereas he might have bought Maduro
and got a milder one.
81 viii tell you why. A packer will
have before him on table large num-
Der of cigars, the wrappers of which will
vary in color from light yellow down to
an almost black shade. The filler, re-
member, in all these is exactly the same.
Well, he will pick out the lghtest in the
lot, lay them to one side, pick out the
next lightest and place them to one side,
until nothing but the very darkest are
left. The first lot will be packed away
into boxes stamped Claro, the second in
boxes stamped Colorado and the third in
boxes stamped Maduro. There are, of
course, intermediate grades, such as Colo
RADIO Claro and Colorado Maduro, but you
see that the Claro box contains just as
strong q cigar as the Maduro. There
may be a little difference owing to the
color of the wrapper, but that is very
slight The color is determined entirely
by the packer, and the distinction is made
solely because cigars Of q uniform color
look more attractive.
Here, for instance, are two boxes Of ci-
gars both stamped Colorado. One is the
Maradona, made from the Vuelta Arbajo
district tobacco; the other is the Arletta,
made from the tobacco of Partidas dis
trict. These cigars are of about the same
strength, and yet the Arletta is much the
darker. Now, the ordinary smoker would
be almost certain to take the Maradona il
he wanted mild and the Arletta if he
wanted a strong cigar. The supposed diff
ference in strength as indicated by the
color is purely imaginary. kansas City

Ex-Attorney General Brewster Dead

4 PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 4.-Bcn-
iamin Harris Brewster, attorney gen.
! eral of the United Stated during Presi-
dent Arthurs administration, and dur
ing whose term of office the famous
Star route cases were pushed to sue
cessful conclusion, died early this morn
ing at his home in this city, aged II
years.
He had been suffering during the
winter with disease of the kidneys, but
his condition did not become serious
until about month ago, since which
time he has been confined to his house.
About 4 wcekago it was discovered
by his physicians that paralysis of the
bladder had set it. His failure since
that time has been marked. Early
this morning he sank into a heavy
slumber and passed quietly away.
Mr. Brewster was one Of the oldest
and most prominent member of the
Philadelphia bar. He was born Octo-
ber Is, 1916, in Salem county. n. J. He
had been twice married, but was. wild
over at the time of his death, his SOC
ond wife having died about two years
ago.

How Cyrus Field Grew Rich.
IFrom the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
One of the most familiar figures seen
on lower Broadway every day in the
week, is that of tall, well-built man,
with an iron gray beard, clear blue eyes,
and form as straight as that of an In
dian. 1t is Cyrus w. Field. He may
have lost millions of dollars by the de-
cline of elevated railroad stock few
months ago, and then he may not. l
know nothing about the matter. l do
know, however, that he was never Sc
well as now. His eye is as sharp as a
hawks. His hand grip is firm, and his
walk is as steady as that of mann OF
forty. He is one of the first arrivals at
his office every morning.
He usually arises at six O'Clock and
from that hour until he goes to sleep at
night he never wastes moment.
''To what do you attribute your great
success in lifeoo" I asked him once.
"Work," was the laconic reply, "by
hard work one may accomplish any
thing in this world"
a leading banker in the the Windsor
hotel the other evening was asked il
the report that Mr.. Field had lost much
money recently was true. -
"Don't Know" he said, maybe he
has. I'll give $50, 100000 for all his prop
erty this moment, and then I guess I'd
make million or two profit"

WITHOUT FOOD 80 DAYS.
Mr. Gerge Allen Dies in an Attempt to
Starye Out a Disease.
Aiken Journal and Review. |

Mr.. George ALLEN, who for many
Years has lived at Montmorenci, died
on Sunday evening last at 8 o'clock
from starvation, having gone without
a particle Of food for thirty-seven days.
We understand he had been great
suffer for long time with complaint
of the stomach, and everything he ate
gave him intense pain. He would take
no medicine, and taking notion that
he could starye the disease out, he COM
menced to fast-taking nothing but
water - and for thirty-seven days
nothing else entered his stomach. On
the thirty-seventh day he became un-
conscious and his family commenced
to give him stimulants and food in
very small quantities, but it was too
late. He died two days latter, or just
thirty-nine days from the commence
ment of the past. Mr.. Allen thought
by fasting forty days he could starve
out the disease, but he miscalculated
Oh his powers of endurance. He was
about 60 years Of age, was an intelli-
gent and we'll educated man, and his
neighbors speak in the highest terms OF
him as a friend and neighbor.

Uses of the Lemon.
T From the Boston Traveller. !

Lemonade from juice Of the lemon is
one of the best and safest drinks for
any person, whether in health or not.
1t is suitable for all stomach diseases,
gravel, liver complaint, inflammation
of the bowels, and fevers. 1t is a spe-
cific against worms and skin COM
plants. Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic remedy known. 1t not only
cures this disease, but prevents it. Sail
ors make daily use oft for this purpose.
I.advise every one to rub their gums
with lemon Juice to keep them in good
condition. The hands and nails are
kept clean, white, soft and supple by
the daily use of lemon instead of soap.
1t also prevents chikblains.
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers,
mixed with strong, hot, black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured
by rubbing the part affected with cut
lemon. 1t is valuable also to cure warts
and to destroy dandruff on the head,
by rubbing the roots of the hair with it.
1t will alleviate and finally cure coughs
and colds, and heal diseased lungs, il
taken hot Oh going to bed at night. Its
uses are manifold, and the more we EN-,
ploy it externally and internally the
better we shall find ourselves. Lemon
juice is useful in removing tartar from
the teeth, anti-febrile, etc. A doctor in
Rome is trying it experimentally in
malarial fever with great success and
thinks it will in time supersede qui,
'ainc.
