THE UNIVERSAL SENTENCE.

Nature is wiser than we give her
credit for being; never wiser than in
her dealings with the old. She has
no idea of Notifying them by sud-
den and wholly unexpected failure of
the chief servants of consciousness.
The sight, for instance, begins to
lose something of its perfection long
before its deficiency calls the owners
special attention to it. Very proba-
bly,, the first hint we have of the
change is that a friend makes the
pleasing remark that we are play
ing the trombone as he calls it :;
that is, moving book we are hold
ing backward and forward, to get
the right focal distance. Or it may
be we find fault with the lamp or the
gas-burner for not giving SO much
light as it used to. At last, some
where between forty and fifty, we
begin to dangle a jaunty pair of eye
glasses, half plaything and half
necessity. In due time a pair of
sober, business-like spectacles be-
strides the nose. Old age leaps upon
it as his saddle, and rides triumphant,
unchallenged, until the darkness
comes which no glasses can pene-
trate. Nature is pitiless in carrying
out the universal sentence.-[O Oliver
Wendell Holmes, in The Atlantic
Monthly.

talk is like thoroughwort or lobelia

You know, and l know, that these
angelic, tender bein's, half clothed

huntin' up drunken husbands and
fathers and sons They are driven
to death and to moral ruin by the
miserable wan Hquor-drinkin en-
tails. They are starved, they are
frozen, they are beaten, they are
made childless and hopeless by drink
en- husbands killing their own flesh
and blood. They go down into the
cold waves, and are drowned by
drunken captains; they are cast from
railways into death by drunken en-
gineers; they go up on the scaffold
and die of crimes committed by the
direct aid of this agent of hell.

THE LAST TRoTTING SEASON.

! The trOttIng season of 1890 was
notable one in the annals of the race
course. During the season nearly
1000 horses entered the $50 list, a
remarkable record which gives suffi-
cient evidence of the Improvement in
the breeding and training of trotting
stock. OF the, to be exact 993 new
corners in the go list, 73O are trot-
tiers and 263 are PAGERS. OF the $50
trotters in the 2 80 list, 1873, or 1872
per cent, reached also the 225 list );
20, or .O27 per cent, reached the 2.2O
list; while one, Homestake, 2.14A,
entered the 215 list Of the 263
PAGERS, 76, or .2SS per cent, reached
the 2.25 list; 81, or .O79 per cent,
succeeded in making records of 2.2O
or better; three, or OH per cent,
entered the 215 list and one, the
phenomenal Cricket, made his mark
at .1O. The other two PAGERS under
2.15 are B. B., 2.131a, and Winslow
Wilkes, 2.1412. The superior speed
of the PAGERS is shown by COMPARE
son of these percentages. But one
trotter as against three PAGERS scored
2.15 or better, though the field of
newcomers in the go list, divided
according to stride, is as 73O to 263
in favor of the trotter The PAGERS
easily surpass the trotters in per-
centages in the 225 list, and at all
points above that they surpass them
absolutely as we'll as rela tively.
Another interesting fact is this:
That 2O7 of these 993 harness racers
also succeeded in passing up into the
2.25 list, while Al entered the 22O
list These results will serve to raise
the standard of speed for trotting
stock and $50 can no longer be con-
sidered the mark The age statistics
of these horses are also noteworthy.
Sixty-one are three-year-olds, and
only SO four-year-olds Is the former
age the faster? The yearling, Free
dom, by Sable Wilkes, made record
of 2.29A during the season. Among
the newcomers 20 were sired by
Alcantara, IS by Nutwood and 16
by Electioneer.
While the general standard went
up with such bound in the seasons
record the year was disappointing
in the way Of record breaking.
Three horses, Sunol, Axtell and Guy,
expected to smash the great record
of Maud S. but they failed 1t is evil
dent that while the general average
of our trotting stock is tending
steadily and rapidly upward, the
great record breakers are exceptional
and are only found occa sionally.

NEW CALENDARS.

One of the most charming of the
pretty calendars Of which this year
seems so fruitful is "All Around the
Year" issued by Lee & Shepard. 1t
is an artistic gem, consisting of a
series of cards, one for each month,
with designs of chubby children, gen
orally accompanied by umbrellas,
showing that 1T is a New England
calendar, the whole united by a
white silken cord and suspended from
a silver chain. The designs are in
sepia and color by ]. Pauline
Suntor.
The Columbia cycle calendar
makes its regular annual appearance
from the Pope Manufacturing COM
pany. This calendar is one of the
most useful - he year. 1t is a
memorandum pad, with a page for
each day of the year, mounted on a
wood stand with pen and pencil
holder. Each days slip has a short
paragraph bearing upon cycling and
kindred subjects. This is the sixth
issue Of this popular calendar, though
the quotations are all fresh.
One of the handsomest calendars
we have seen is that of the Sta tie
Mutual Life Insurance company of
which Charles S. Hastings of this
place. is the general agent. The large
card on which the calendar pad is
mounted has on it a handsome
Lowell engraving of a scene from
Shakespeare Richard II.

ASTED FORTY-FIVE DAYS.

Such a feat as that of Succi, who
finished his 45-days' fast in New
York Saturday, has little practical
value. He showed that some people
can abstain from all solid food for 45
days without dissolution, and pro-
badly some one will come along
within a few years and fast even a
longer period. But Succi has at
least the satisfaction of having beat
en- Moses, Elijah and DIR. Tanner by
five days, and his value as a dime
museum freak is of course very
high just now. To medical men, on
the other hand, the case is not with
out interest. 1t has been demon
strated, for instance, that the fatty
tissues are the first to be sought by
the starving system, then the muscu-
lar tissues, and, last of all, the ner-
vous tissues. In Succi's case the
nervous tissue, when the end came,
had been supplying the vital energy
for several days, and had the fast
been much prolonged this burning of
the nervous system would undoubt-
eddy have weakened his remarkable
will power and soon have DESTROYED
it. The heart would then have an
nounced the fact of complete starva-
ton. 1t will be readily seen that the
final stage is the most interesting of
the three; yet at the same time it is
by far the shortest and the most pre-
carious. So far as science is con-
cerned, Succi could have made a more
distinct contribution to its store of
knowledge by dying. Then we
should have known relatively how
long the nervous tissue can supply
the bare heat required for the main.
tenance of the vital spark. But Sue
CT did very well, after all.-[Spring

A Disgrace in the Senate.

The discussion in the United States
Senate upon the Montana election con-
test is one of the most humiliating ex-
hibitio ms of partisanship which have
been made there in many years.
Having decided to seat the Republican
claimants without regard to the evil
dence, the Republican Senators take
little or no part in the debate on the
merits Of the case They absent them
selves in a body for the greater part of
the time, leaving the Democratic Sem
ators to make their arguments to them
selves alone. Probably this is the
most agreeable course under the cir
cumstances, for the Democratic argu-
ments cannot be answered by anybody.
The simple fact is that the Republican
majority has decided to- Ego behind
the returns'' of the Montana election,
and seat two Senators who never were
leagally elected, and who only obtained
their certificate by methods like those
of the old Carpet-bags Returning
Boards. Day after day the Democratic
Senators have set forth the truth Ia
this indefensible performance with un-
answerable clearness and force, and the
Republican Senators are merely wait
ing for them to stop talking in order to
vote as they have determined. EVea-

HALsTEAD's NEW FIELD.
The Field Marshall Goes to New York
to Build up RepublIcanism.

NEW YORK, April 19.-The Brooklyn
Standard Union to-day announces that
Mr.. Murat Halstead will assume the
editorial management of that paper
Monday next. In its editorial on the
subject the Standard Union to-day
says: at is because of the determine
ton to build up great Republican
newspaper in this city and the belief
that Mr.. Halstead's experience, ability,
earnestness and force will materially
aid such an undertaking that has been
induced to come to Brooklyn i'm the
prime of life, with his pen at its best
and his heart In the work."
Mr.. Halstead was seen by reporter
this afternoon with reference to this
announcement. This step, he said, did
not indicate q severance of his connec-
ton with the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. "My new duties," he con-
tinued, twill not interfere with my
work of editorial correspondence on
the Commercial Gazette. That will 20
on the same as for some time past. The
facilities afforded by my editorial con-
nection here will be a help to my cor.
respondence. Mr.. Richard Smith will
hereafter be the responsible editor In
chief of the Commercial Gazette and ]
shall be responsible for only such edi'
tOrial utterances as appear ovel
my initials. Mr.. Smith and I are work
ing in entire agreement. There will be
however, less one-man power on the
Commercial Gazette than heretofore
The board of directors will take a more
active share in the management of the
paper. The new policy was determined
upon at the meeting of the stockholders
last Monday. MY oldest son, Marsha
Halstead, and A. HI. Hinkle, an ener
getic young business man of Cincin
natl, were elected the new members o
| the board.
