Professor Brewer said. in a speech before
the National Academy OF Sciences: The Eng
lish thoroughbred is a finished breed, and it
has undoubtedly arrived at the summit Of its
excellence There has been practically no
new blood in this breed since 1850. This
breed has been finished and completed in two
senses; First, as to its grade, heredity, blood
and character; and secondly, as to its speed,
in which the limit has been undoubtedly
reached. We have faster horses than our
grandfathers, but it is not likely that our
grandchildren will have q faster breed than
we have now.
b In the case Of trotters there has been
steady increase Of speed. The fastest record
is 2:0Ssz. Less than dozen horses have ever
trotted in less than 2:14.
The best record in running was made in
Louisville, the time being ;39}..
The speaker showed table on which were
the number of horses in the last few years
which had made record within five seconds
OF this time.
The nearest that any horse has come to this
record is 40, which was done last year. A
verv large number of horses have made their
record but once There are many that have
made as fast time as those that have records,
but in not winning the race they get no rec
ord. The record as it now stands may be
lowered When said that speed had reached
its maximum didn't think but what better
/ time would be made. think about 80 will
be the speed of runners Hereafter breeders
will be expected to keep up this high standard
| of excellence rather than to making better
time. l believe the thoroughbred has finished
his evolution. New Haven Journal.

The English on Early Marriages.

In summing up the marriage controversy,
on which 1t received 81, 900 communications,
The London Daily Telegraph says: ''The
concensus of the. letters is overwhelmingly
strong against early marriages Our law
ought, we think, to forbid marriages to young
men under 81 and to young women under 10.
Among the working classes especially this
would produce, we believe, an excellent effect.
Then, also, it is clear to our mind that tho
law Of divorce must be enlarged to permit
dissolution of marriage for deSertion. for
lunacy, for confirmed inebriety, for convic-
ton of disgraceful crimes, rs likewise for
established incompatibdity of temper and
temperament, such as a just and prudent
judge would admit to be adequate That the
marriage service as it stands calls also for
alteration has been abundautly demonstrated
by these let ers.n

The American Analyst thus sums bakers
profits, or what a barrel Of -four is worth
when made into bread A baker will toss a
barrel of flour into a trough. Then he losses
l04 pounds of water Oh top. a quantity of
yeast is added, and the baker has 300 pounds
of dough to operate on. The 300 pounds cost
him S. In short order the dough is turned
into TWISTS" high loaves, pan loaves and
other STYLES OF the same quality. The ovens
heat reduces the 800 pounds Of dough to 26O
pounds of bread. The baker sells his bread
at the rate Of 4 cents a pound, or at an ad-
vance of over 30 per cent. over what it cost
him. There are 400 bakers, great or small,
in New York city, and to them is committed
the trust of supplying bread for 100000
persons There are many bakers in that city
who make 300 loaves of bread per day and
sell it for from $50 to $50, or a net profit OF
$40 Little money is lost in the business
and most bakers do cash trade.

pious little girl She was 8 years old and
lived in the country. She had started one

girl about her own age. On their way they
caught glimpse of a clock dial through an
open door; it lacked five minutes of 0.

The authorities of Dundee, Scotland, have
been making some thorough Investigations
Of the air in poor tenements This led to a
comparison with the air Of sewers, and it
was found that the sewer air was decidedly
the purer and safer of the two. That Is,
there was more carbonic acid and organic
matter and other poisons in the air of badly
ventilated apartment, occupied by human
beings, than in a sewer This is doubly true
of overcrowded and badly ventilated halls
and lecture rooms, and such places as are
often used for auctions. The fact may be
that much is laid to the back set Of sewer gas,
which is simply the natural air of the house,
owing to lack Of common sense in sanitation.

Oh, for breath from one hot July dny
We went the road that leads through Sudhurv
town.
Red blew the roses meath the gables brown.
And sweet mouthed wall flowers stocked the gar
dens gray.
The houses slipped behind us, and the way
Stood thick with elder bushes, left and right
q think in all the world were none so white:
And none have blown so white since then, say }
Black bees few all about; wher'er we went
The air was lit by saffron butterflies,
Old Indian blossoms to the summer lent.

TIE years have robbed US, love- of both; the scent
or elder blooms brings tears into mine eyes.

A Supposed Incendiary Fire in New
 Haven Brewery.
 NEW HAVEN, April 16.-Early yesterday morning fire broke out ill the coopering de- partment of Philip Fresenius' brewery on Congress avenue, and before the fire depart ment could reach the scene the immense build ing was in mass of flames. The building covers whole block, and is the largest brew ing establishment in the state. The only part of the building that was saved was the DOT hon in which MT. Fresenius lives and the ice vault It is presumed that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The New Haven brewers have recently organized after the manner of the New York concerns, and MT. Fresenius has stated that when his contract expired, May 1, he would not submit to any more dictation on the part of any of his em- ployes. It is supposed that some of the men belonging to the brewers union heard these statements, and undertook to burn their en- ployer out.
 The loss is between $so, 900 and 5000 all upon the property. About S40,O 900 of the loss is covered by insurance. Twenty thousand dollars worth of beer was saved.
