The Russian method for stopping a run
away horse is said to be very effective
and is not particularly cruel. They place
a cord with a running knot around the
horses neck near the neck strap. To
this slip-noose attach pair of reins,
which may be thrown over the dashboard
ready to be seized at once. When the
horse starts take up the extra reGs and
tighten the cord around the horses
neck The most furious horse thus
choked stops instantly and will not kick
or fall.

The railroad powers that be have de
ended that the stock cattle rate from
Texas into the Indian Territory shall be
increased $40 per ear over the rates of
last year, says the Stock Journal. The
regular beef shipping tariff is also adj
yanced from Hillsboro south and Wealth
errord west. The reason advanced for
this advance is that while Stockraisers are
not making much money the railroads
are making none at all and have paid out
more money than they have collected
for some time past. II is also claimed
that even now the rates from Texas on
live stock are lower, mileage considered,
than from any other section of the United
States, including the run from Chicago
To Boston or New York There is no adj
vance between st. LomS and Chicago,

After q season covering SIX months,
and crowded with sensational perform
ances, the tTotting year is ut an end. All
the great events have been decided, and
probably no brilliant record will be OBJ
tanned until next spring.
The two greatest records-thOse of
Maud s.. POSE and of Johnson, 2:06l4
pacing-still remain unapproached, nor
has any serious attempt to equal or sur.
pass either of them been made Mr.. Bon
uer's great mare has had no harder work
than an exhibition mile at Fleet
woOk Park in 2:l25, and Johnson has
been called upon for but little of his
speed, rs he was generally barred from
all classes and met no antagonist able to
force him out. Looking back through
the records of the trOtters, one finds at
the foremost three Maud s., 2:OS3I;
ay-Eye-See, 2:lO, and St. Julien,
2:ll1I. OF these, Maud s. as has been
lauTels, but keeping in shape
at any time TO do battle for
her crown Jay Eye-See has been
trained but has developed weakness
when called upon for supreme effort,
and within few days past has met with
an accident of so serious character that
his life hangs in the balance. Far away
in pleasant paddock at Petaluma, Cal,
st. Julien is cropping the sweet short
grass and win never again answer the
call of the judges bell.
But as time softens the steel of the
muscles and slackeuS the speed of these
great turf performers others take their
places, and the season of 1888 has been
prolific III this respect. Guy, Prince
Wilkes, Rosalind Wilkes, Favonia and a
dozen others have attained to the fore
most positions and have made the salient
events of the trOtting year. Decidedly
the most sensational trotter of the year
has been Mr.. w. j. Gordon s black geld
ing Guy. For years past he has been
known 10 possess extreme speed, but his
disposition was too Eighty for race

EXTRAORDINARY LICENSE.

f'It seems to me-" remarked one of our
citizens the other day, 'that physicians
are allowed extraordinary license in the
manner in-which they juRgle with the
welfare of their patients.
'sNow here is Dr.-who is attending
Mr.-up to the time of his death, and
if he treated him for one thing he treat
ed him for dozen different disorders.
First the doctor said pneumonia was the
trouble; then it was consumption. Then
the patient was dosed for heart trouble,
and 80 on until just before he died it was
ascertaiued that disease of the kidneys
was the real trouble, and That which had
been at first treated as pneumonia, Coz
sumption, heart disease and ETC., were
but the symptoms of kidney disease.
"But then it was too late.
This is only one case in q hundred,
and l am beginning to lose faith in the
doctors altogether. IN fact / haven t
had any need for their services since |
began to keep Warmers Safe Cure In my
house, a little over three years aga.
Whenever 1 feel "A little out of sorts
take few dosas of it, confident that the
source of all disease in the kidneys,
which | know Warmers Safe Cure will
keep in good order, and will eradicate
any disease that may be lurking there.
Had Mr-followed similar course, l
have no doubt that he would be alive to-
day; but of course all people dont't think
alike.
Zone thing lie certain, however, and
that is the doctors are allowed little too
much freedom in the way they have of
pretending to know that which they real
~ know nothing about. Ii IL don t
know what is the real trouh rl;h the
patient, they should admit il not go
on and experiment at the cost i the pa

Girls With Goats Appetites.

Biddeford and Saco girls have some
queer tastes. One lady makes an ex-
cursion to the brick yard each summer
and lays in a supply of nice blue clay
to eat through the winter. Another's
favorite dainty is a soft brick, and
long experience has taught her how to
select the choicest specimens at
glance. Each of these ladies has
lived to a good old age to enjoy her
favorite dishes. One young lady may
often be seen picking from the side
walk soft, shelly rocks, and, after a
nibble to see if they are just right,
transferring the rock to her pocket for
future consumption. Soft clay pipes,
which one girl buys by the dozen,
ground-up slate pencils, chalk, sea
sand, white rags, brown wrapping
paper, and starch are among the favor
lite luXuries of others.
Perhaps the queereSt tastes of all is
that tor ashes. One young lady is said
to delight in coal ashes and 10 be
often seen raking over old coal ashes
for lump only partially burned, upon
which there is nice, clean, white ash.
Another has butrecently broken habit
which she has followed since child
hood of eating bread sprinkled with
wood ashes instead of butter. -Le,cis-
