Advice to a Young Nan.

Oh my son! be patients be patient:
be patient. We can get along without
brilliant women ana great men. They
are not easy to live with; they don
mix with the brood very much; they
have TO have single perches for them
selves away up out OF the reach OF the
rest OF US, so that we don't see much
OF them, and they don't do the world
very much good, after all. It's just as
we'll that they do keep away from us,
l suppose. When they come down
and mix with us we are apt 10 find
them out Then, good by greatness.
We don't need rush ing people, SO very
much. Here and there one or two OF
them are good things We can't get
along without II rush line OF course;
but, after all, full back, whose quiet
eyes are on every part OF the field at
once without making any fuss about
il, and who at every point in the game
is always just exactly where he is
wanted at exactly the right time, AMI
is never anywhere else, no matter
how much yelling and "rastling' and
whooping and scrimmaging is going
on in the front the nervy fellow who
is never ratified, and has all his noise
and breath and vim and strength
saved up for the one important moment
when il shall be necessary to send
the ball away clear over the heads OF
! the painting, yelling, scuilling crowd
! after all, he is the fellow TO whom our
| eyes turn anXiously and hopefully
when the crisis is reached. BE patient,
the fretful, hurrying, eager. restless
world needs offer praises of thanks Civ
/ ing to the patient people in it. To the
/ patient man and woman who find
strength in "quietness and conidence;'
who can be patient with our faults, oul
follies and our fancies; who can be
quiet when even the softest word would
have a sting; and the softest answer
would stir up bitterness, who can wait
for storms to blow over and for wrongs
To right themselves; who can endure
slight and injury until the wounded
heart has forgotten the hurt that made
the scar. BE patient, my boy; be
patient. Nobody else has time enough
for it; all the rest OF us are in such a
hurry and have no time to wait. Dc
you e'patient for the whole crowd.
And you'll wear all the rest OF us out

SUM NJ Err DAYS.
ny FANNIE IsApEL surRRIcF

ny FANNIE ISABEL sHERRICK.
The summer DAYS will soon BE- hcre.
The dreamy, golden weather;
But they will bring Us pain dear heart
Last year we were together.
Last year we stood upon the hills,
The world below forgstting;
To day we walk i'm path apart,
The summer days regretting. 80 &
The duslxy aha low lies between,
The shadow ard tho sorrow;
The present is n vague .'"gret,
And so will be the morrow.
The dream was but foolish one,
Why sholl we then remember
Too frail the flower that dies beneath
The SHOWS of one December.
The sweet was but a bitter sweet,
Forgotten is the pleasure;
The Joy is past that bro lght us pain,
The dream-why should we treasure.
In summer DAYS so soon 10 come,
Oh, happy be your living;
The world would he a sinless place
If there were no forgiving.
oh peaceful be your summer-tide,
The dreamy golden weather,
And may no shadow hide the sun
Tho we are not together.

A Horse Hair Snake.

The horse hair snake is a common
source OF error. The creature that is
usually called by that lme originates
and has life history as follows: A
small flesh colored mite is in water. 1t
changes to n purplish lead color and
comes 10 the top OF the water where it
sports for time. and when looking
across water OF "a still evening,
espec tally if looking toward
the setting sun, one can see
masses of these tiny creatures thlt
look like smoke on the water. When
they reach this stage of development
they leave the water and get out on
the leaves and grass. Here, "a oppor-
tunity offers. they attach themselves
10 the feet OF large insects-especially
OF grasshoppers, katydids, etc. The
legs OF these insects being hollow,
they crawl up them, where they grow
till they fill the legs and sometimes
the cavities of the bodies Of these large
insects. This accounts for the fat,
clumsy condition OF many of these i'm
sects. After a rain, in which the in
sectS drown, the full fledged horse hair
snakes come forth to delight the small
boy, and to interest the stu lent OF ma
ture, after which they lay eggs in the
water, if it does not dry up too soon,
and curl around them for % time, and
about the time the eggs hatch into the
little flesh colored mites first described,
the snakes die. Exchange.

Place a pin in the end Of a cork, in
each side of which n penknife has been
inserted obliquely, as shown in the cut.
The knives should be as nearly as posi-
BILE of equal weight. BY opening one
or the other OF them more or less they
can be made TO balance.
In order TO bring ihem TO the exact
position required-that is, TO bring the
pin, the cork and the knives to a hori-
zontal position place the head of the
pin on the end Of your finger and ascer-
tain If the two knives are on the same
level. If not. adjust them until they
are so.
Then take the cork in your hand and
lay the stem of the pin on the point of a
needle. the head Of which is fastened in
the cork of bottle. You must care
fully change the point of support Of the
pin until you have found that position
in which it remains perfectly horizontal
when left to itself
Now blow upon one Of the peni hives,
at first gently and then more strongly.
You will thus cause the whole to rotate
rapidly. After time the needle, being
the harder, will have worn tiny hole
in the pin. and If YOU continue the ex-
pertinent will finally pierce it entirely.
This experiment can also lie made bv

and 30 well convinced that no would do
still better with a stronger and more skill
ful jockey in the saddle that he is willing
to match him against Spokane for from
$500 to 5000 q side for another race over
the Derby distance. II such match
could be brought about it would attract
big crowd TO witness il and the Jockey
Club could well afford to add a liberal sum,
as il no doubt would. There arc great
many men oil experience in racing
matters who think that il Isaac
Murphy had been in Sorrento's saddle on
Saturday he would have landed him the
winner in place OF Spokane. The two
colts were certainly close enough together
at the finish to suggest that a match be-
tween them could he made without inn
pugning the sagacity OF Sorrcnto's owner.

distance of ground is about the most in

An inexcusable blunder was made at
washington Park, Chicago, last Saturday,
when the Judges gave race to Baggage
which had been clearly won by Redlight
by good two lengths, Baggage finishing
sixth. The crowd demonstrated, but the
heightened judges stuck to their decision
and took refuge in the clubhouse to avoid
the outraged holders OF Redlight tickets.
In the meantime the bookmakers paid all
bets on Baggage. Later in the evening
the club appointed a committee to settle
the matter. The committee reported in
favor of the clubs making good the mon
ey invested in Redlight tickets, but
not to pay amounts won by holders Of
such tickets. In accordance with that re-
port the Washington Park Clubyesterday
announced its readiness to refund all
money invested in Redight tickets at
