The spring Races In Toxic.

The spring races have occupied the at
tention of the capitals upper and lower
circles for the past three DAYS, and the
sports and fashion models have paraded
the lawn before the grand stand AS they
might at any a C ours in western
countries. Pool tickets made and lost
dollars for the investors. and Jockeys
were accused of all the tricks they can
ever play. Horse racing was a favorite
sport of the dnimios in ancient days, and
the modern japanese takes most readily
TO the foreign methods of starting, tim
ing, handicapping and pool selling. The
Uyeno race purse is one of the most
beautiful tracks in the way of its land
scape setting, the course describing a
great oval in a hollow between two billy
ridges, and the middle space being occu-
pied by u lotus pond. The young leaves
are just thrusting up their first shallow
blue green saucers, but in August the
pond shows acres and acres 81 enormous
leaves, starred with pink or white bios
SONS. A few weeks ago the cherry
trees lining the track were masses
of pink bloom, and il the races could
have been held then it would have been
a most aesthetic festival. BY the enthu-
siasm manifested by some of the ticket
holders, it is possible that neither stately
lotus MOI the fairy like cherry blossoms
could draw much attention while the
scrubby little China and Hokkaido ponies
were flying round the curse with dimin
uttye Japanese jockeys clinging to then
backs.
A feature Of one days entertainment
was the riding Of six japanese ladies',
and natives and foreigners were equally
interested in the spectacle. Toxic is not
behind other modern cities in n rage for
riding schools. and in addition to the
number Of army officers and men who
learned the foreign style abroad, every
official or well-to-do citizen now aspires
10 lessons in equestrianism. There is a
flourishing riding school near Shiha
Park, and a number Of japanese ladies
belong to the classes. They wear the
foreign riding dress, and look well in
the Amazonian habit, although a French
tailor would gruan at the outlines of
their figures, hat are largest at the
waist, have no hips and the most slop-
ing shoulders. The six Amazons who
bounced in the saddle around the Uyeno
race course the other afternoon mounted
in the paddock, and the mounting was
unique. The bettos, or grooms, clasped
their hands together like a cradle, the
Amazons stepped on with both feet, and
the betto slowly raised them straight up
in the air until they reached the level Of
the saddle. The feat was entirely tho
bettos, and the man who holds the 100.
pound dumb bell or plays with cannon
balls hardly equals them.-Tokio Cor,
Globe Democrat.

A Tank for Drinking Water.

Many methods are suggested to keep
drinking water cool, but l think the fol-
lowing will be found to possess advan.
tages over the box system. Procure .
ten gallon jar and an empty salt barrel,
which can be had for the asking, put sui
fcient dry, well tamped sawdust in the
barrel, so that when the jar is placed
therein it will protrude about n inch
above the barrel. Fill in around the jar
with sawdust and lamp rs before, leav-
ing q space Of about two inches to be
filled out with cement nicely smoothed
OF and sloped, In order that any drip
ping water will be carried over the edge
Of the barrel, and your cooler is com.
pleted In about on~e-twentieth Of the
Time required TO make a box, and far
more handy.-Cor. Boston Budget

Petroleum Deposits Of Peru.

Behind Tumbez are the petroleum de-
posts Of Peru, which have been known
TO the natives ever since the times of the
Incas, but they we're ignorant Of tho
character or value Of the oil. A Yankee
by tho name Of LArkin, from western
New York. went down there TO sell kero-
and recognized In the material
which the Indians used for lubricating
and coloring purposes the same article he
was peddling. Attempts have been made
TO utilize tho deposits, which are very
extensive, but 10 far they have not been
successful In producing a burning 1uid
