Athletic Sports Growing in Popularity.

Baseball, horse racing, yachting,
rowing, sparring, and a number OF
other manly diversions divide the at.
t%ention of the whole people, but few
falling to have their sympathies enlist
ed in one or the other of these pas
times. A proper degree of attention
paid to all sorts of manly sports, and
TO athletics especially, will 10 much to
promote health and contentment
among the people, and will moreover
serve to gradually modify n of the
most pronounced and not particularly
admirable traits in the American char
acter, namely, a too absorbing appli-
cation to strictly commercial matters.
This all absorbing rush after gain has
kept in allegiance many of the more
attractive traits of the American char
acter, hence it is a matter for congra-
tulation that there is a growing ten
dency towards giving more time to
healthful amusement and manly exer-
else, as indicative off healthful change
of habits. Now Orleans Picayune.

When the nest of the thrush or
mavis is built unusually high in the
thorn bush in Ireland this betokens a
great calamity to a neighborhood, for
some distressing disturbance is under
way among the fairies, who in happy
or friendly mood always see to it that
these nests are built near their haunts
in the grasses, that they may more
readily enjoy the music of the thrush's
songs. The crops of sweet singing
blackbirds are supposed to hold the
souls of those in ~purgatory, especially
those exposed to probationary fires,
until the judgment day; and whenev-
err the blackbird's notes are particularly
shrill, these parched and burning
souls are i%mploring for rain, which
never fails of coming in response to
the bird cries for their relief.
The Wicklow mountains are notably
the haunts of the ring ousel or noun
tain stare. Whenever, after singing
his fine, deep song, he hesitates for a
time, and then is heard to utter a loud,
shrill and prolonged whistle, that
night every human hat has heard it
will remain behind barred doors; for
that is a true fairy call, and the ''wee
folk of Wicklow" are sure TO congre-
gate in the mooplit hollows and
Glance rings round their swate selves"
until dawn.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

"How to sell goods2" repeated a New
York merchant after a Star reporter.
ut depends upon the man. That is
the whole secret. Like the old parody
on Victor Hugo, IF you want to be a
good salesman, you must educate your
grandmother A good salesman is
born, not made. In the est place you
must be able TO size up your pur-
chaser all through. Il you tell a racy
story TO q church deacon, or if you Of
fer a prohibitionist candidate for JUS
tice a drink out of your private bottle,
or if you try to get the village free
thinker to direct you to prayer meet
ing, you will make an expensive mis-
take. You must, like st. Paul, be all
things TO all men, and, more than that,
the right things TO the right men.
You can't sell two men in the same
way. You must attack each man diff
ferently. You must catch a man when
he is not busy and when he is not
tired. When you do go for a man, GO
for him horse, foot and Dragons.
Don't give him a chance to get away
from you, but hold on TO him until
you land him. You must be prepared
for every possible reception, and for
every possible and impossible objec-
ton, and suddenly you find you have
sold a big bill, and you have to go over
the thing slowly afterward to find out
how you did it"

MuEAs& was again the rider. Under his
guiaN5ee Dexter was again n winner in
2:S4, beating Flora Temples record for n
mile. Ho was more noted at that time for
his riding than his driving, and was chased
with such experts as Dan Mace, James Goff,
etc. But when the fashion of riding trotting
horses declined, Murphy became noted for
driving both single and double teams.
He drove Rarus over n throe-quarter of a
mile track in 2:11K; handled Edwin Forrest
with consummhto skill, and drove Frank
Worth's double team, Edward and Dick
Swivellcr, in 2:16M against time, at Fleet
wood park, making tho time at the first go.

handled us trainer, rider or driver, would I'll
volumes- His life was spent among horses, and
IL is to tho turf's credit that his integrity was
never questioned. Murphy WASH great favor
lite with Robert Bonner, who employed i'm to
train and care for his splendid stable of trot-
ters. Almost ever since Maud s.. has been in
the possession OF Mr.. Bonner she has been
cared for and speeded by Murphy.

SOME FACTS ABOUT EGGS.
Matching Chickens by the Million in
Egypt for American stomachs.

tiAtchinS Shickens by the Million In
Egypt for American stomachs.
The Egyptians are, however, far in
advance of us in the science of raising
chickens, and the incubating establish
ments of the country hatch out eggs
by the million every year. At a hatch
ing establishment near the Pyramids
the farmers trade fresh eggs for young
chicks and the rate is two eggs per
chick. Another artificial hatchery
turns out SOC, 900 little chickens every
season, and the oven crop of chickens
in Egypt amounts, according to fig
ures furnished me by the consul gen
eral, to more than twenty millions of
chickens a year.
We have about two hundred million
dollars worth of money invested in the
fowl industry in the United States, an
amount 30 large that all the money of
Jay GoIsd could not equal it, and still
we have to import more than sixteen
million dozens of eggs every year. If
Matching system we could sell eggs
instead of buying them, and our farm
ers might buy little chickens to raise
at a price of twenty cents a dozen.
More than twenty millions of little
chickens are sold each year in this way
in Egypt, and there is a regular bust
ness in chickens just old enough to
walk.
The incubatories are rude, one story
buildings, made of undried bricks, so
arranged that the eggs are laid upon
cut straw in racks in rooms, around
the ovens, which are kept fired on
during the Matching season. The out
/ walls are very thick and are built
so that they retain the heat, and the
only thermometer used is the blood of
the boy or man who attends to the
fires By long practice these men
learn just how hot the ovens ought to
be, and they replenish the fires as the
weather demands. A small amount
of fuel is needed. and the temperature
of the ovens is about that of 9S degs.
above zero. The fire is built up for
eight or ten days before the eggs are
put in, to thoroughly warm the hut,
and after this time it does not go out
during the season, which is from
March until May. The eggs are turned
four times a day while Matching.
The whole outfit of an establishment
which matches over 200, 900 chickens
a year does not, l am told, cost more
than $25, and one man runs the whole
machine, keeping the fires, buying
and turning the eggs and selling the
chickens. There are in this incuba-
tory twelve compartments, each 70
feet long, 60 feet wide and 16 feet
high, and each of these compartments
will hold $500 eggs at a time, or
90, 900 eggs in all. 1t produced last
year more than 230 600 chickens and
did the work of more than 20, 600
hens.-Cairo Egypt Letter.

In the Museum of the New York
Pathological society, under lock and
key, inaccessible TO all except NJ. DIS.
or other individuals with sections of
the alphabet either before or after
their names, there is a fragment of
bone, about an inch in length and less
than half that wide. Small as it is, to
the professional it is one of the most
interesting o~ssicles in existence. 1t is
q piece of the odontoid process of the
second cervical vertebra-the pivot
bone upon which the head rests and
turns.
This o~ssicle, so interesting to the
embryo surgeon, was presented to the
museum where it is now preserved
by DR.. William Bayard. of st. John, N.
b., into whose possession it came
away back in the ffties.
The patient who furnished this in
teresting relic was a child who had
received the shock which broke its
neck some twenty days before Professor
Bayard was called. When the injury
was fresh the medical adviser of the
stricken parents informed them that
the child's neck had been broken and
that its death was but a matter of q
few hours.

guarded through the agonizing hours.
The physician departed, thinking
that the last Of the case, except the
funeral. However, the hours length
ened into days, the days into weeks,
yet the little sufferer tenaciously chung
TO life. After a fortnight had passed,
the little one began TO experience
great difficulty in breathing. The
first physician called was not notified,
but DIR. Bayard was summoned,
barely in time to relieve the patient
from death by s~uffocation. He found
that a great abscess had formed in the
back of the throat.
The lance vas applied and the accu-
mulated matter expelled and with il
the fragment of the odontoid process
proving conclusively that the YER
tebrn had been broken. Tho proper
bandages were applied and within a
year the patient completely recovered.

Very few of wheaton
products are aware of the fact that
crackers are the oldest form of bread.
Fragments of unfermented cakes were
discovered in the Swiss lake dwellings,
which belong to the neolithio age of
the world. Although the rude form
of bread was early discarded for the
fermented variety, yet in this, as in
many other matters, it was found con-
venient to return to a discarded and
apparently valueless process. Thin
unfermented cakes were found to pos
Bess merits for special purposes, They
would keep good for a great length of
time, and thus afforded wholesome
and nutritious food in a portable and
convenient form. The simplicity of
their making and baking was also a
point in their favor.-New York Tele-

John Murphy, the rider and trainer OF trot-
ting horses, who died recently at Howe's
hotel, Coney Island boulevard, after an ILL
ness Of several weeks, was born in Ireland in
March, 1874, but came to America when he
was six years OF age He was highly es-
taemed by all who knew him, and leaves a
widow and n number of children. Consump-
ton, resulting from a cold contracted While
visiting his brother-in-law, Hiram Howe, on
the Coney Island boulevard, caused his death.
When a little lad Murphy frequented the
old Bulls Head tavern promises, being at
trncted thither by his natural love for horses.
He so persistently followed up horses that
were always there that he attracted the no
tice Of horsemen. One OF these, Simon
Brown, Of Flushing, took the boy into his
employ. George Nelson, the brotherIn-law
of Hiram Woodruff, Dan Phfer and Hiram
Woodruff himself employed Murphy. The
last named took a strong liking to and taught
him how to ride trotting horses, a business in
which the boy became expert.
Murphy rode the great Dexter when that
famous trotter beat Stonewall Jackson ut
