Clifton was favored with two horse-races the past week. On Saturday there was a sweepstakes in which Phillips horse of Dun can was the winner. But this was only preliminary to the real event, which was to take place the next day, and which was a race between the Phillips horse and a horse owned by a man named Gardiner of Texas. While some excitement and considerable in terest was taken in the race by our citizens, they did not invest very much dinero, and as con- sequence only a comparatively small amount of money changed hands on the result. Sunday afternoon, when the race took place, quite gathering of peo- pie, among whom were a good sprinkling of ladies, was present to witness the struggle. The Duncan horse seemed to be the favorite in the betting up to within an hour of the race, when the strange horse evened up with him. A good start was made and the horses came flying up the track, the stranger horse in the lead, which 1t maintained and in creased with ease, winning by over 30 feet.

SNOW In the Aretlc Reriona.

When the snow block is cut out from tho
trench it is about the size of a large pillow,
but of course rectangular ON any section.
Running knife over side it win crumble
off in sandy mass, like scraping lump Of
white sugar, and not in thin, plastic slice
like the snow in our own zone when treated
in the same way. This soft, plastic charac-
ter of the snow is, l think, practically UNI
known in the Arctic country, it being there
of such firm, solid character that when
snow block is held clear of the ground and
struck with a knife it will give forth for
some seconds clear, metallic, musical ring,
nearly as pronounced as striking a suspended
bar of tempered steel. Leaving out glass
and the metals, recall nothing now more
resonant than the compacted snow of tho
Arctic.
This snow, too, is as porous as lump Of
white sugar, and while it is hardly right to
say that it freely admits the air, yet when
the snow house is closed by putting up the
block of snow which forms the door there is
enough air permeating its porous walls to
give ample ventilation to the people inside.
/ have seen a lighted candle held to a snow
house wall on the inside have its fame visibly
detected by the incoming air, a strong wind
blowing on the outside at the time. In fact,
the solid snow block, from six inches to a
foot in thickness, is seldom considered sufli-
Gent protection in the intense cold of the
Arctic winter, and all properly constructed
snow houses have an extra foot of loose snow
thrown over the blockwork to keep out the
cold --Frederick SchwatSa.

A story for yivisectionists.

A physician, who was also professor In a
medical college, was engaged for great part
of his time in the vivisection OF animals. He
had little daughter OF whom he was very
fond, who was tenderly devoted to him. He
resorted TO all sorts Of methods TO prevent
her from learning Of his chief occupation,
She grew to the age of II without any knowl-
edge Of the fact. One day she was visited
by another girl, Of her own age, who, with
tears in her eyes, said she had lost her white
greyhound.
i'What shall we do to find hergs Che visitor
asked.
"Oh, know said the doctors daughter,
TIVE viii 60 Go tho college and get papa, and
he will help us find her, for you know there's
no time to be lost
The two girls started for the Medical col
lege A careless doorlSeeper let them into
the laboratory where the professor was at
work They saw two students standing over
table, and the young girls father, the doc
tor, was engaged in the work of dissection
upon a living dog, which was none other
than the lost greyhound.
"Ledam screamed the dogs mistress.
The poor animal heard the call, reused It,
self and sprang away from its tormentors.
II was unable to stand and sank again TO the
floor The dogs mistress screamed and
rushed away from the room. But the pro-
fessors daughter remained, as still and pale
as death, her eyes wide open and staring at
her father. just as he, looking up, perceived
what had happened, he saw Ihis daughter
sinking down in faint. He sprang TO her
and seized her in his arms. She did not re-
cover consciousness for two days, and was
then in terrible fever Recovering from
the fever, it was found that she had well
nigh lost her reason. She will, the narrator
of the story says, probably always be the
victim of monomnnia. Boston Transcript

The magazine rifle selected for the use of
the British army was recently put through
a series of tests to measure its accuracy,
penetration, range, etc. The dilatoriness of
the English seems to have stood them In good
stead this time, for while the Germans are
discarding the "Mauser-70-86n magazine
rifle scarcely a twelve month after its adop-
ton, because Of its caliber III mm), they
have benefited by the experience, and pin
their faith to caliber nearly one-third
smaller. The new gun weighs no more than
the Martini Henry, which, modified more or
less, has been in continual use in the British
army for seventeen years. 1t has detacha-
BILE magazine placed in front Of the trigger
guard and holding eight rounds, with one
more rammed home in the breech, making
nine. When one magazine Is exhausted 1t Is
detached with single movement and an
other snapped ON. The powder is compressed
on the Swiss system, with the result that
smaller and lighter bullets may be used. The
soldier will be able TO carry ll5 rounds,
where before he had only seventy. Still bet
ter, the trajectory is fat and the range
much greater than that Of the old style rifle.

Shirts wearing decent air are seer in
many window marked at fifty-nino cents
An inquiry was made of shirtmaker as to
how 1t was possible to make and sell shirt
with linen bosoms and cuffs for so low a
price. Here is the paradoxical answer: sit
is and is not possible. It is possible when
the work is done in institutions Beautiful
work is done In the great charitable institu-
tions. Manufacturers are glad to employ
them. Shirts they can have made there for
twenty-five cents dozen. This cheap work
done by institutions is one of the greatest
evils that the working woman has TO contend
against Shirts are also made by women in
their homes for twenty-five cents q dozen.
Such women are not self-supporting, but
they exc out their husbands incomes in this
way, and can afford to work for less than the
working woman.
These cheap shirts are also slop work. The
cotton Is Weighted with lime, and when
washed could be used for a strainer. The
bosoms nre made of what is called union
linen, which is not linen at all, but G French
cotton that can be bought for twelve cents a
yard, and Is accessible only to great manu-
fncturers. It takes a high polish when laun-
dried, and cannot DO detected. OF course, 1t

ing shirts In his factory in the regular way
can afford to make and sell shirts for that

Pine smoking in England.

Pipe smoking is rather encouraged than
otherwise by English ladies. Probably this
is from two causes. 1t is more economical
and more clearly in the house, the fumes of
tobacco from pipe not hanging about A
room so long as those of a cigar, there being
less dust and dirt following a pipe and the
smell of burned tobacco being far less often
sive the next day than is that Of stale cigar
smoke. English ladies, too, seem to prefer
to see the more robust pipe smoker than the

no apartment is completely furnished with

so lost to the assumed deeencies of social
amenity as to expectorate in the presence Of

hide the fact and afterward apologizing for
it) would be deemed coarse creature, ut

A RESTAURANT KEEPERS PLAN.

BAD Customers--Legal Doubts.

Novel Method Tor Collecting the Bilts OF
Bad Customers--Legal Doubts.
The owner Of an uptown restaurant has
had SO many bad debts lately that he has
built turnstile at his door, and no customer
can escape till he has paid the amount Of his
check. 1t is claimed that this detention il
utterly illegal, and that citizen who found
himself on the wrong side Of the gate with
out the money to pay for his release could be
got out promptly on writ of habeas corpus,
and that afterward he could sue for heavy
damages for illegal detention, with fair
chance of getting handsome verdict. The
restaurant keeper has been advised of all
this, but he says he is going to take his
chances and collect all bis bills until some
one interferes with him.
A heavily built gentleman with fierce
eye, who looked like a pensioned off prize
fighter, got caught in the machine the other
evening. His tenderloin steak, with grilled
mullins, cost him just fifteen cents more than
he had. He sailed gayly up to the turnstile
and asked the man who worked the appa-
ratus to charge tie fifteen cents to his ac-
count.
s'Nixy,n said the money talxer "We've
got you here, and we shall keep you till you
pay"
The tenderloin steak and the grilled muf-
fins had infused fresh blood and courage into
the prize fighter. He made dash at the
turnstile, but there was a catch like brake
that the jailer worked with his foot This
stopped ii from opening. The jailer sneered.
The moneyless customer grew madden and

FISH IN THE DEPTHS.
Peculiarities of Deep Sea Deniaens

teWhot an odd fshm

'What an odd fshln
An old member of the Maritime Exchange
was exhibiting in bottle one of the queer
est submarine monsters that the fancy could
paint. Itapparently had no beginning and
no ending. One could hardly tell where its
outlines left off, and the alcohol in which it
was preserved began. It was like jelly.
sit must be remembered,n explained the
owner, that at the depth of 1000 fathoms,
the pressure upon fish or any other body is
equal to a ton to square inch These fab
by looking fishes, that can be tied in knot
at the surface, at such depths are firm bod
led and vigorous. When fish, apapted by or
ganization to these depths, are brought to
the surface, frequently their bodies are rup-
tured, their viscera protrude, their eyes
start out and they present the appearance of
having suffered a frightful death. When the
fish ascends and the pressure upon his body
becomes less and less, the gases in its body be-
gin to expand, and the expansion causes the
demoralized appearance Of the fish. If the
fish could be popped up out OF the sea in an
instant it would probably explode with
bang when 1t reached the surface.
''Just look at its jaws" continued the ex-
hibitor. "When the fish are brought to the
surface most of them appear TO be soft, pulpy
feebly developed. The tissues seem thin,
weak and easily ruptured. These conditions,
implying muscular weakness, are apparently
inconsistent with the powerful shape Of the
jaws and the rapacious looking teeth of some
of the predacious fishes.n
"How do they liver
"That is hard to say. To the absence of
light is due many of the most wonderful
peculiarities Of the deep sea fish. Some of
them are totally blind, having no eyes at oil
or mere rudimentary eyes Others have
huge eyes, so organized as to collect as many
light rays as possible. Sunlight, it is said,
does not penetrate to depth of goo fathons
If there is any light there at all it is the
merest glimmer, and below that depth there
is absolute darkness.

his own light--carries lantern or torch

TWAS ALL A MISTAKE.

Was it all mistaken All, fold your arms closer
And press my head nearer your breast;
For my brain has grown weary with thinking and
weeping,
And my sad heart is longing for rest.
Was it all a mistake when, within your dear hand,
You clasped mine with quickening breath,
And vowed before God that, forsaking all others,
You would love me and keep me till deaths
Was it all a mistaken Is there any one dearer
For whom your mans heart cries alouds
Is there any .sweet hopeH lying dead in your
bosom
That your marriage vow hides like shroudG
Was it all q mistake when thought could cheer
you
Aud brighten your pathway through lifes
Do you dream OF a face that is fairer than my
faceg
ofa name you hold dearer than ''wifes"
Was it all mistaken Are you longing for free
domf
Ali Ipray that release may be near;
That deaths arms may take me and bear me to
heaven
To await--what was thats Not tear!
All, my own, you are weeping You're sorry you
said itS
Twas anger that made those words fallg
Then take me yourself dear and don't let death
have me,
For don't want to die after all.

Advice to Newspaper oontribu.ors.

Three things are necessary in order that
one may be justified in sending anything to
the public print. These are: First, something
to say; second, long and patient practice in
saying it; and third, the acquaintance with
good literature which constitutes the best
part of a literary education Although the
first of these propositions is too generally dis
regarded, it remains true that the only ex.
cuse for writing at all is TO have something
to say. II this truth were more generally
recognized, the pages of trash that cucumber
our magazines and newspapers as well as the
piles of trash In our book stores, would be
considerably depleted. II. r. Shattuck in
