sport which has attained great dimen-
sions in England of late years, and has to
some extent been popularized in America, is
pony and galloway racing. 1t is, in fact, the
sport which has revived the word gallo
way" which was falling quite out of use,
and never seen except occasionally in an
auctioneer's catalogue. The word is defined
by ''Stonehenge" as applying to 'full-blood-
ed ponies which are bred ia the south of
Scotland, and which show more Eastern
blood than the Highlanders." BE goes on
to say that they seldom exceed IA hands,
and are described as possessing all the attri-
real use no one can doubt, for the breeding
OF ponies had become an industry sorely in
want OF an impetus, which 1t now has In the
extra inducements offered to breeders by the
high prices obtainabie for really speedy ami
mals. In proportion to size, pony Is bet
work for his inches" The improvement of
speed and better development OF the various
breeds Is, therefore, highly desirable OBJ
Ject. The sport Is a great favorite among
military men Ia India, and according to all Il
Is truly wonderful sight to see what welter
weights small pony will carry without aD-
parent distress. In America the recruits for
the sports of the East, whether racing or
polo, are largely obtained from the West.
From the improved stock which is now
brought In large quantities to New York and
other eastern towns every year, judicious Sc
lection can obtain really fifst-class material
Though the ponies are usually .in the rough
when they arrive, careful handling and good
stable management will soon reduce them to
such shape that, were it not for the tell-tale
brand on the quarters, no one would recog-
nize them as specimens Of that much ma
ilgned class, Cow p0nies."-lOuting.

Marvellous Brute Sagacity.

In Vanderburg County, Indiana, the
other day, horse was standing tied
to fence, when drunken man deiib-
erately plunged his pocket-knife into
the dumb brute's neck. The cash was
a long one, and quite severe, and the
blood flowed from the wound profusely.
The horse writhed in agony, and in
its struggles broke the hitching rein
and ran out of the lot. The horse kept
up its speed down the road until it
came to a drug store. The animal
stalked into the store and went as far
back as the prescription case and set
up a most pitiful neighing, The clerk
was alarmed, but spoke gently to the
animal, and, taking a sponge. bathed
the ugly wound in cool water, much to
the relief of the brute. The proprie-
tor then sewed up the wound and tied
a band around the animals neck The
horse was then led back, seemingly
happy and contented. The druggist
is positive in the assertion that this is
the neatest case of brute sagacity on
record, and points out the blood spots
on the floor of his store in proof Of the

A PECULIAR AILMENT.
The Sight-Seer's Headache the Result q
Continued Observation.

The Sight-Seer's Headache the Result of
Continued Observation.
OF the lighter penalties which pleas
ure entails none probably is more
widely known and felt or more per-
sistently endured than the sight-seer's
headache. 1t is natures tax levied on
the comfort of that great body of busy
idlers to which we all at some time or
other belong. 1t is endemic among
the frequenters of museums, picture
galleries and exhibitions. The very
general prevalence of this variety of
headache, and its independence in
many instances of any vitiation of at
mosphere teach us to look for its ex-
PLANTATION in other causes. The effort
of mind implied in long-continued OBJ
servation, even though this does not
involve the strain of study, has proba-
bly, an appreciative, though a secondary
influence. Fatigue certainly has an
important share in its production; but
it is with most persons rather fatigue
of muscle than brain. The mainten-
ance of the upright posture during
several hours of languid locomotion,
and varied and frequent movements of
the head commonly in an upward di-
rection, and the similar and equal rest
lessness of eyes whose focus of vision
shifts at every turn as new object pre-
sents itself form a combined series of
forces more powerful in this respect
than the sunlight and frequent changes
of mental interest and attention by
which they are accompanied. The mus
cular strain implied in these movements
is necessarily very considerable. 1t af-
ects more or less every member of the
body, but the distant localization of the
resulting ache has probably much to do
with the usual activity of the cervical
extensor and rotator muscles and of
the muscles which move the eyeball.
Whatever the minor influences at
work, therefore, there can be little
doubt that mere fatigue is primarily
accountable for this most general form
of headache, and that rest and nour-
| ishment are most reliable antidotes.
| The utility of stimulants for this pur-
pose is necessarily temporary and de-
| ceptive. One improvement on exist
ing arrangements ought to be of real
assistance to the suffering sightseer if
more generally introduced by respon-
! sible authorities. The comparative
scarcity of seats in many places of
amusement has often been noticed. 1t
would be much to the public advantage
if this want were supplied. For the at
tendants at exhibition stalls q chair
for occasional use is an absolute
necessity. Lancet.

She Felt Sorry for Him.

A young Texas lady of violent tenn
per, just about to be married, was
found by a friend to be weeping Bit
terly.
..Why do you weep, Fanny?"
81 just can't help it, replied the
sobbing bride.
''But your future husband is one o.
the very best men in the world.
II know it, and that's what makes
me cry. I've got such a tender heart
that it makes me weep to think how,
after we are married, I'll be snatching
his hair and twisting his ears. The
poor man hasn't got the least idea of
the fate that awaits him." And once
more the eyes of the kind-hearted
woman filed with tears, and her chin
quivered like bowl of calf-foot jelly.

The patience of the General was ex-

use that persons description, .'cleaned

papooses, ponies, went flying down
toward the suffers store.
''The kid drew near to explain; but
something in the countenance of his
commanding officer converted his valor
into discretion, and he, too, rode away.
For many long week, that lovely
summer, Mary was kept virtually a
prisoner, lest her Indian lover should
carry her away. She never rode un-
attended, and on all occasions the
faithful Jim followed her like a huge
black shadow.

out, and wherever that unfortunate
youth appeared, his brother officers
sang with gusto: 'sThere were three

PECULIAR INDUSTRY.
Persons Tho Make a Living by Buying and
Selling Bad Eggs.


There was a lively row in progress
in the cellar of one of the large COM
mission houses ON Duane street. The
belligerents were the porter of the
establishment and stout German
woman, who held in either arm a large
basket of apparently fresh eggs. The
row itself was over the price of the
eggs, the woman claiming that they
were not worth over forty-two cents
per one hundred, while the porter
held out stoutly for forty-fve cents.
When the woman who failed to gain
her point had exhausted her stock of
Berlin .'billingsgate' the porter ex-
planned the situation to reporter as
follows:
"You see," he began. .'every barrel
of eggs that comes in here has to be
'candled,' and when we find one not
up to the mark we throw it aside.
These are either spotted, cracked or
rotten, as the case may be, and of
these, which we call spots, cracks and
rots, we have many dozens each week
10 u1SpOSG Oh. InlS woman ndQ just
bought four hundred cracks and spots
at forty-ive cents a hundred. What
will she do with them? Why, sell
them to the ice-cream saloons and
bakeries, not to mention the cheap
restaurants. She will get from five to
ten cents a dozen for them, according
to quality. The bulk of the eggs, how
ever, will be made into ice-cream.
"Some of these big ice-cream con-
cerns," he went on, 'suse these eggs
altogether, and know of some large
coffee houses who use them to give
their beans peculiar gloss. AS for
rotten eggs, the tanneries buy them.
There is something in rotten egg that
gives a certain finish to some kinds of
leather that nothing else will give.
So5ae of these women make a good liv-
ing by buying up spoiled eggs, but
their trade is being spoiled by the
bakeries and restaurants who are now
sending their own wagons after them, y

ORIGIN or PETROLEUM.:
The Plausible Theory Advanced by Dis
tinguIshed Russian Chemist.

The Plausible Theory Advanced by Dis
tinguIslaed Russian Chemist.
The origin of petroleum has been ex-
planned both on the organic and morgan
ic theory. The commonly accepted view
which is held by many American geolo-
gists, is, that it has been formed by the
distillation of organic remains by the
internal heat OF the earth. Others cons
slider that it has been formed directly
from its elements by chemical reac-
tions, and that its existence Is in no
way dependent upon the organic re-
mains of former geological ages. Pro-
fessor Mendelejeff, the distinguished
Russian chemist, has recently advanced
a theory of the inorganic origin Of PEE
troleum which is OF considerable inter-
est. Briefly stated, he believes that
in the interior of the earth iron is
present in large quantities, combined
with carbon in the form of carbide.
Now, when water from the surface
reaches this heated carbide Of iron the
oxygen combines with the iron, re-
placing the carbon, which unites with
the hydrogen, forming the hydrooar-
bons of which petroleum and natural
gas are principally composed. The
most important practical point OF this
theory is, that, If true, the formation OF
these substances may be continually
going on, so that we need have no fear
Of the supply becoming exhausted,

TOTALLY DEPRAvED.
An Old Deacon's Description of 'Tha
Grandson of His"

Grandson of His"
He arrived at the farmhouse before
breakfast. He came from the city,
was fourteen years old, and looked
thin, scrawny md dudish.
"Poor boy" my wife said, 81 must
get up something to tempt his appe-
tite"
The events of the day showed that
his appetite didn't need tempting. On
the contrary, it needed suppression, it
was so appallingly perceptible. He
ate three square meals, stole most of
the lunch he was sent with to the har-
vest field, put away about three quarts
of cherries, rifed the melon patch of
twenty-pound melon, and sat on the
shed after dark and demolished a
dozen mammoth tomatoes his grand
mother had put there to ripen. l sup
posed I'd have to gallop five miles
across the country at midnight for
stomach-pump, or at least dive into the
medicine chest after the Jamaica GIN
ger. Well, neither rode nor ''dove."
He slept like top and rose serenely
at daybreak, looking as hungry, insa-
tiate and cavernous as ever.
A more mischievous boy never came
under my observation. Pure cussed-
ness was spread out all over him. I
was a bad boy myself; my son was
worse than | was; but that boy of his
beat all creation I'm deacon, and
never believed in total depravity, but
believe in it now. He must have been
beyond redemption before he was born.
He threw the cat into the well he
pulled out the peacock's tail; he stole
the eggs from the setting hens; he fired
squibs into the bee-hives; he fed the
pigs paris green; he crushed tenpenny
nails in the corn-sheller; he-well,
there's no relating what he didn't do.
Wasn't he hurt any? A little. He
fell from the top of a barn; mule
kicked out two of his teeth; the corn
shelter took Off thumb-nail, and tho
bees punctured his anatomy right live
ly. But it didn't abate his evil pro-
pensity; it scarcely disturbed his Sc
renity.
One afternoon saw him quarreling
with one of the Scroggin boys. I
knew what would be the upshot of
that. The Seroggin boy was as tough
as dog-wood knot; he was fighter
from way back; he would give that
frail-looking city boy, that dudish
grandson of mine, terrific trouncing.
He'd wipe up the ground with him;
he'd walk all over him.
The hour of my revenge had come.
/ glided behind tree and watched.
| chuckled. l rubbed my hands; my
eyes snapped with pleased anticipation.
They got to blows, but things didn't
pan out as Thought they would. That
Scroggin boy crawled home the worst
whipped boy you ever saw. His nose
was split like peach, his left eye was
in mourning, there was a lump on his
forehead as big as goose egg, and his
off-leg limped painfully after its mate.
That was last summer. Yesterday I
received letter announcing that he is
coming this summer. Now, what am
to doP I'm too brave to commit sui
eide and it would be mean to run away.
I'll shut my teeth hard and try to
possess my soul in patience, if / can.
If can't, L II resign the Office of dea-
con, and give free outlet to my pent-up
feelings. Detroit Free Press.
