A writer In an exchange on the sub
ject of the hest kind of stable for
horses, says: 1.-The situation OF stable
should be dry and sunny, and openings
the building. The walls may be any
onconducting material that is most
easily obtained in the locality. Height
is always advantageous, and there
should be some, opening high up that
should never be closed. Ii the horses
are kept warm it must be done
with clothing or with fire, and
not with bad air. No roof is so
comfortable as thatch, no floor
so good as clay. The clay must be kept
well above the surrounding ground. and
should be nearly foot thick, putting 1T
rather higher in those parts where there
will be most wear and pressure. Ram
it hard. and keep 1t quite level and free
from holes. a horst is greatly injured
by the common practice of standing
with his fore legs higher than his hind
ones, or with either of them IN holes.
The clay may be loOSened with pick
and re-leveled whenever it wears in
holes. A small part of the clay will
daily and simultaneously find its way to
the manure heap. and when any part
gets thin and low, or emitS any smell.
it may be picked up and removed for
manure, putting new bed OF clay III Its
place. This will be found far better
than any kind of stone floor, as, besides
being uniniuriouS 10 the horses feet,
clay is the best OF deOdOriZers, and
keeps the air of stable more tit to meet
the eyes or lungs. Any kind of smooth
stones are dangerous. and too slippery
for the horse to raise OH when laid
down. Ii Is impossible to clean 1T. or TO
prevent it smelling strongly, as stones
do not deOdorize. while it is distressing
to holse's feet and destructive to his

WITH So IN HIS POCKET.
The Coin That Frank Work
started Life With.

New York Evening Sun.
When Frank Work, the great Wall
street magnate. was nine years of age
his schoolmaster punished him unmer-
cifully by grasping one of his hands and
pounding the ends of his fingers with
a ferule until the blood spurted from
them. When he went home told his
mother that he would never go that
school again. His mother wisely SYM
pathized with him and agreed that he
should not al in come under the au-
thOrity of Sucn man.
- In commenting on the whipping to
his mother, Frank uttered a mild cuSS
word, and for this his mother promised
and gave him whipping. This nearly
broke his heart. and he plainly told her
it would be the last whipping she would
ever inflict upon him.
That night he babe his mother good
bye. kissed her affectionately, packed
up his belongings and. with s. gold
piece and about 80 cents in his pocket,
left the house. lie has not seen his
mother since.
He worked his passage on boat to
New Orleans and in course of time
driftrd to New York and into Wall
street, in which neighborho0d he has
since made his individuality felt and
| grasped sundry situations and dollars.
The strangest part of his story is that
through all his trials and privations he
never found it necessary to spend the
original gold piece with which he left
home. He is now seventy-One years
old and as hale and hearty as it is pos
sible for man of his age to be, and he
h. hat still IL, his a nd
treasures it more than anything lie
owns. But he is not avaricous, and,
while he kept the S.. he spent the 30
| cents.

From the New York Sun.
The advertising columns of the Lon
don newspapers have recently an
nounced that nine cannibals from Terre
del Fuego would be fed three times a
day in view of the audience at the
Aquarium. At 2, and 10 o'clock the
spectators have enjoyed the privilege
of seeing these specimens of an eX-
traOrdiuary type of American savage
heat their beef and fish over fire and
then tear the flesh to pieces with their
fingers and devour it practically raw.
The family of Ona Indians art the
only representatives of their large
tribe that have ever been taken from
ther homes. Many years ago some ma
to England and received there rutii-
mentary education. But the Onas, who
ale spread over more than fQur-tittlis OF
the great island, have been almost un-
known until the recent discoveries OF
LiSta and Pepper: and the mountain
ranges tnat parallel the south anu west
coasts have been a barrier which the
natives Oh either side have never tried
to GLOSS.

woman about tfGy years old, her son.
tall and not bad-lOOKing specimen Of his
race. his two wives and their five chill
dren, ranging in age from one To sixteen
years. The thing about the OnaS Whlcn
most stimulates scientific interest and
popular curiosity is the fact that they
are regarded by some authorities as
the lowest stratum OF unclvlliZed
humanity that has yet been
discovered. Many years ago Oar
win inclined to tine belief that in the
race lie met in Beagle canal he~had
found the missing link in tile chain of
evolution. In his last Years he was of
the opinion that the data he gathered at
Terra del FuegO were too meager Tor
valuable deductions, and it Is certain
that had he extended his researches
north of tine mountains he would have
found tribe that was even lower III
the scale of being than the savages he
saw and described.
This family now in London seem to
possess the most limited vocabulary.
Lista said he could not learn that the
Unas have any words except those relat-
ing to hunting and fishing and the new
natural objects that interest them. Pop
per could never get them to speak eX-
cept in monoSylla0leS, and they seldom
made themselves Ineligible. 1t prob

As the $50 list is the ladder by which
all trotting-bred stations rise to public
favor aud make their blood-lmes fash
lonable and at the same time valuable,
says the Chicago HorSeman, the breed
ers of this class of horses are tireieSs in
tracing the performances of all that are
descended from the families TO which
they pinned their faith ut the beginning,
or gradually introduced into their stud
as desirable OuterOsSes for the hllies
bredon he farm. In many instances,
however, quality is Overshadowed by
quantity, and more especially since
time-record UriyadeS have been per-
mitted to occupy half of each racing day
at the bret ders' meetings in trips against
time. Still. time-reeord is OF a little
value, as it shows the pOSScSSOr
did trot so fast with everything
In his favor. although it leaves
the public in the dark so far as
stamina and Tace-hOrSe qualities are
concerned. Through those perform
RnceS and the greater number OF horses
that are being bred and developed each
wear the 2:3O list has become so large
that il will soon be necessary 10 put up
the barriers or cut 1t down TO 2:25 or
better. And while such step would
be- bold one. experience has shown
that very few Well-bred horses fail 10
pass the faster mark if they are permit
ted to remain in the training stable. In
fact. 2:2O horses are now more plentiful
than 2:30 performers were few years
ago. and the list of 1890 will show
larger number than those that have APP
peared. as we have arrived at point
where a horse cannot win in frSt-claSS
company without being able to finish
three heats in 300 or better.
The Improvement during the past
few wears has been made with
giant strides, and in order to show the
success of the different sireS since 1878
we have compiled the accompanying
table, which contains all that have, in
any of these twelve years, contributed
three or more performers i'll one season
TO the , 80 list. 1t presents the names
of sPyenty-One SireS, nineteen of which
are dead, and several that are almost
forgotten by the younger breeders of to-
day. But it also presents the names of
the brightest lights of the stud, and
marks the progress of stations that
stand as pillars of the trOtting turf. 1t
will be noted that Volunteer does not
appear, as he was credited with the ma
j0rity of his trOtterS before 1878; and
HambIetOnian has also light represen-
talon. All of the others, however,
have in that time secured their greatest
triumphS.

which term is meant horse bred in Eu-
rOpel he has ever seen. Some of the
European tracks over which he has to
drive are as hard as stone road. He
beat large field with Polly over one OF
these tracks few weeks ago, and while
she is sound and unblemiShed she has
not been quite as good mare since as
she was before. A-little rest is all she
needs he thinks. As some question was
raised as to the nativity and breeding of
Polly, MIR. La Due sent the following In
terr0gatOrieS to her driver. Mr.. RaYner,
who answered them as below stated:
Q. What is your name?
A. j. w. Rayner, from Toronto, Ont.
Q. Are you acquainted with MeDOn-
aid Bros, of Ireland?
A. We are almost like brothers; have
known them seven years.
Q. Were Mcdonald Bros. the owners
of the mare Polly?
A. They bought her, think, from
Graves Bros, of America.
Q. Did they employ you to train and
drive her?
A. In 1877. July %.
@. Where did you reside when you
first TOOK charge OF Polly?
a. abbey Hey Park, Gorton, near
Manchester. England.
q. What year and what month did
you take this mare in your hands?
A. In 1871. july %.
q. Had any man driven her in race
before YOU took charge of her?
A. think not; only the race she
trotted in America.
Q. Do you know from Mcdonald
Bros, or any other reliable source, that
the Mcdonald Bros. bought this mare
of Graves Bros. OF Rochester. Minn.,
IN the United States of America?
A. They only told me last year that
Graves Bros. bred her.
Q. How and from whom did you first
learn that her former name was Utopia?
A. saw her name and record in
recOrd-bo0k, 10y the name of Utopia,
2:35-the same as you told me.
Q. Did you sell her by request of her
former owners, the Mcdonald Bros?
A. Yes; they wrote me, saying they
had bought sister and brother to Polly,
and that should sell her, and they
would leave the price TO me.
z. Who owns her now?
A. 6. W. Beuxenstein. She races
under the name of AreXO, as all his
horses 20 in the same name.
Q. Are you at liberty to state to me
that | may use it to my own advantage
in selling the same family of horses?
a. Price, 44.G00 marks. "a mark is
little less than p cents).
From this evidence and the state
ments of Ar. La Due, it is now pretty
certain that the mare Polly is no other
than the Minnesota trOtter Utopia. In
deed. it was pretty certain from the
first that her alleged Irish was myth.
Had she been kept at home and had the
advantages of good American tracks,
her time would doubtless have been
very greatly reduced, and the formi-
dable qualities she has displayed under
European methods show that, had she
remained in America, she would have
taken very high rank as campaigner.
We are in lebted for these facts to the
courtesy of Mr.. La Due.

POLLY's PEDIGREE.
Jay La Due Settles Long-Drawn-
Out Controversy.

Out Controversy.
Jay La Due, OF Luverne, Mimi, has
been endeavoring for long time to
establish the fact that his famous brood
mare is the mother of the celebrated
trOtter Polly" which has created such
q sensation in Europe, and has at last
succeeded, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing from the Kentucky stock farm:
Polly Germerly called Utopia, has
been one of the principal performers
on European tracks during the season
that is just closing. When she first
commenced trOtting in Europe it was
claimed that she had been bred in Ire
land. This was regarded as very i'm
probable. as there were 10 strains of
trOttiBg blood in Ireland from which
such mare as Polly would be
likely to spring. Further inves-
tigation, however, developed the
fact that she was American
bred, her breeder being jay La Due, of
Luverne, Mimi, and she having been
sired by liam Iallah. Mr.. La Due sold
her to Graves Bros, who sold her to
Mr.. Mcdonald. Mcdonald owned her
until very lately, when he sold her to a
European party. POlly's first appear
Since that time she has been started in
over forty races. most of which she
won, winning over S30.GJ0 for her owner.
She has been driven exclusively by one
man, j. w. kayner. who says that no
one else has ever driven her better than
400 jog. Mr.. Rayner says that he
never pulled line over another such
an animal and never expects to. The
distance or the character of the track
seems to make no difference to her. She
made mile record of 2:22: four-mile
record, drawing 3G0 pounds. in 1905. or
2:3l4 to the mile. Her driver expects
to beat with her the best European rec
ord of 2::20I, made by MoIlie Wilkes.
In a twO-mlle race she beat Grandmont.
Blue Bell and Wild America.
Mr.. Ravner says that he has some
twelve horses in his string. One of
them is a two-year-Old son of Amber,
that is the second best "inlander" (by
