Miss Myrt,s's Ambition Satisfied.

Early yesterday morning Mas Myrtle
WATSON, a 16-year.old belle OF East ST.
Louis, attempted to celebrate Christmas
by performing q contortion act In her
boudoir, and met with an amusing, but ex-
tremely serious accident. She aspired to
rival the contortion prima donna Of Bar
NUNS circus by placing her feet over her
shoulders and locking them behind her
head. The consummation so devoutly
wished tor was reached successfully, but
when Miss Myrtle attempted to remove
her feet to their normal attitude she found
herself far from being equal to the emer-
gency. After vain attempt to extricate
her feet from their perilous position she
became frightened. and with one superhu.
man effort she made a strong pull and ex.
tricated the LETT foot, but unfortunately
whom it slipped off the shoulder the whole
physical force of the pull was thrown
against the other LIMB, and the right
hIp was dislocated. The screams OF the
poor girl Immediately broul ht oil men,
bers Of the family to ber room. A physi-
clan was summoned. and the hip was set
with considerable ditjiculty. The young
lady Is suffering excrucisting pain, and Is
kept constantly under the influence Of
opiatos. Louis be-DAmocrat.

HORSES WITH EIGHT FEET.
They Go Like the Wind aud are Very Fond
OF Milk.


A span of horses created no small
amount of surprise H. Washington street,
Hoboken yesterday. 0ne of the horses
was black, short aud chunky. with tan on
the under side of its body and the lower
parts of it's legs. Its name was long and
wavy, and its black tail touched the
ground. Its mate was larger horse, OF a
dark sorrel color and of almost perfect
symmetry. Its legs were slender but
shapely and its body neck and head bore
unmistakable evidence that the racing
blood of the Hatnhletonian stock coursed
through it's veins. The strange part of the
team was the fact that eacn horse had
eight feet.
They were hitched to double.seated
light wagon, aud were driven by d nattily-
dressed colored man with mutton chop
whiskers and u silk hat. He gave shout
IA he slapped the little black horse With
fat side of his reius, aud the team with
sixteen feet flew like the wind into Tenth
street. A policeman stood spell'bound at
the unusual sight, aud it was two minutes
after the team had passed before he could
regain his compOsure sufficient to club
several little boys VINO had been passed by
the multitude of other urchins.
The colored man drew no in front OF q
brown stone mansion at Tenth and Hud-
son streets, and the team was later driven
through a wide gate into q dark painted
statle. The horses are owned by Hermann
Reiche, of 95 Park row. and are said Ia
be the only animals of the kind in the
world The groom said they are more
gentle than ordinary horses and have a
great passion for drinking milk. Mr.
Reiche said that he did not know the pedi
gree of the two queer animals, but re-
marked that they might be direct de-
scendsnts of the eight.footed courser
Sleipner, mentioned in Morse mythology

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day is an exotic, and
not, as is generally believed, a native
Of Puritan soil. The Puritans brought
nothing new with them across the At
lantic. if their courage and tenaclty
of purpose were not new. But they
brought with them ideas and customs,
which, though not new, they could
plant where they could grow undis-
turbed, alone. They created nothing,
but they nurturcd ideas which became
a new system. Two hundred and
forty years ago Thanksgiving was, in
the strictest sense, religious day-a
hOly-day. It's character has vastly
changed through the eight generations
of men that it has survived. 1t has
become peculiarly an American insti-
tuition, and now, as il has ever done,
il fourishes best on the soil of New
England, where it was planted nearly
two centuries and half ago. While
once it was a day Of severe religious
discipline, its only joy solemn rellg-
iOus ecstasy, it is now a day OF social
gladness and feasting, the hOme-hOli-
day of New England and New Eng
landers. 1t carries sunshine even TO
the prisons and asylums OF the At
lantic states, and the Yankee in for
eign lands is surer to remember II
than any holiday Of the year. We
can not but think that its universal
observance in this country wOnld make
bright spot in the gloom OF the
autumn.

To Bust the Irvine Trust.

On the offer, by the Illinois State
Grange, OF a premium Of $4,000 for a
successful attachment to binder to
bind grain with straw, the committee
having the matter on hand have made
a report. The committee Is composed
OF j. NJ. Thompson, master, Joliet;
Mr.. j. II. Sharer, Ottawa, q. II. Tate,
Smithton, and J. II. Vanarsdale,
Peoria. They say:
1--WE have received applications
| from persons wishing to compete for
this prize from every state and terri
tory In the union; also from Canada
and Scotland. The committee met
August 20, and for three days care
fully looked over, and infinitely exam
ined the models, drawings and speciti-
cations then submitted by forty in
ventOrs, many OF the models showing
much thought and inventive genius.
July Sth had been intended as day
of field trial Of straw binders, under
this offer, but at that time not sim
gle machine was ready for field work,
and only one working model Of full
size was ready. However, as letters
and applications continued TO arrive
daily on this important invention, the
| August meeting was adjourned with
out action, and final meeting was
held October 30 and &c. when the
committee decided that the full-siZed
model above mentioned filled the bill
under the offer, and accordingly ten
dered the $4,000. The inventor, how
ever, declined to deed his straw bind
ing device to the state grange for this
amount of money, having had much
larger offers for his machine and its
patents.
1--WE have seen this machine bind
grain, and it does the work much
finer and better than can be done
with straw bands by hand. 1t has
an attachment for short straw, or
grain, that can be set in motion by the
foot of the driver. This binder seems
perfect in all its parts, more SIM
pie and easier TO operate than the
Irvine binder. The knotter is not as
delicate in construction, yet does not
take up more room, and is not as
heavy as the Irvine binder.
1--WE consider this a matter of great
importance to all grainraiSing farm
ers, for they will not hereafter be sub
ject to the trusts and combines of the
Irvine men, having plenty of binding
material right at hand on the farm.
The patentee is arranging to bring out
his machine in February, 1890, and
will enter the grain fields of the
Southern States, thence following the
| harvest north"

Judge Stipp, through Judge Dibell,
handed down a decree in the case OF
Noble Jones v. Geo. l.. Blanchard,
which was heard sometime since and
taken under advisement. The ques-
tions involved were as to the priority
of certain mortgages and the priority
of a lien of trust deed held by Jones
on an elevator at Lostant, over Ger,
tain execution writs issued by several
justices at La Sale. by the decree a
receiver is appointed to take posses,
sion of certain lots in La Sale, and
the master in chancery is empowered
to take proofs as TO the amount due
on the mortgages and trust deed, and
then report to the court that further
order may be made. The trust deed
of Jones is held to be prior lien upon

A. j. O'Conor, of La Sale.

stands out prominently. In the fore
ground are two splendid pointer dogs,
one attentive the other rowing. Back
OF these the hunters stand. One has
discharged his piece and his COM
paniOn Is in the act Of firing. A green,
swampy lowland, fringed with trees
upon either side, completes the
picture.
Mrs. Ruger finds that her talent
is developed more fully in pastel work,
which she has recently taken up, and
with remarkable success. Among her
best productions are several very fine
marine views. Her portrait work Is
excellent. Recently finished are por-
traits OF her son, Edward Ruger, at
the age of three and one-half years,
and Madge Leland, deceased daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman Leland, both
of which are very life-like.

studio at the residence of her father,
Mr.. h. Y. Griggs, and does some very
