Good Runners viii Pay Three or Four
Times as Much in Season.
From the Chicago Evenin0 Post
"Why don't train trotters as well as
runners 2" exclaimed a professional owner
yesterday in reply to query Of precisely the
same import. "Why don't train trotters.
you say 2 Why, sir, make my living out
of horses, and don't just keep 'em for fun
like California SENATOR
The speaker was typical Kentucky
horseman-one who had lived among horses
all his DAYS and did his own training since
ever he raised colt--and his looks showed it.
"a trotter costs just as much as a runner
to train" said he. Personally, I'd sooner
own a thoroughbred any day of the year
than trotter, and I'd sooner see one good
race like that Salvator-Tenny match the
other day than sit out all the trotting meets
that ever were set in heats. But leaving
ones personal tastes and distastes out of the
matter and coming down to straight dollars
aud cents, there is about three times more
profit for me in raising runners and racing
them than | could ever hope to get out of
trotting horses It's just matter of
bigger money, and as am not a millionaire
| am sensible to take up the more
profitable side of the turf. Unless a
man wins some big matches in a season or
backs his trotters with luck he cannot pay
the expenses of big stable. The stakes
offered, you see are too small aud the
chances too few. A trotting meet only
lasts, say, three days, and there is rarely as
much as 1000 hung up in purses on any
one cay. There will be, say, three events
each day, nine in all, and if fail to make a
strike | have to go to all the trouble and ex-
pense of transporting my nags to some
other meeting. AT a running meet [ can
Just bunker down and wait my chance, and
by picking up a couple of purses and may
be stake race, easily clear my expenses
and pocket few dollars besides. Last
year Salvador alone won seven races and
81 $50, while ten of the best winners on the
trotting turf won fifty races and only $780,
9l0 in money. Take ten of the largest win
ners on the running turf last year-Salvator,
Chaos, Ell Rio Rey, Longstreet, Tenny, st.
Carlo, Senorita, Protection, Spokane and
Raceland-and they combined won sixty
races and 1892, 23S. Ten of the largest trot-
ting winners were Alcryon, Sprague, Gold
dust, Nelson, Reference, Jack, Gene Smith,
Hendrix, Star Lily, Geneva s. and Aubiue.
They won fifty nine races and only 500. 9l0.
THAT means that, other things being
equal, the average earnings of crack run
ner are little over four times great as
those of a tlptop trotter. Now, if you had
to depend for a living upon controlling one
class or the other, which do you think
would you take up? l am not asking which
would you like the best, but want to know,
if you were like myself. with wife and a
couple of daughters to support decently,
whether you would like to risk your capital
en- trotting horses or thoroughbreds."

An Antidote for Eat.

Peter the great was once travelling
incognito in part of Finland, just
conquered, where he was executing
some naval works. He met an over
fat man who told him he was going
to St. Petersburg. "What for?"
said the car. To consult a doctor
about my fat, which has become very
oppressive" "Do you know any
doctor thcre?" "No." "Then l will
give You u word to my friend, Prince
Menschikoff, and he will introduce
you to one of tho empernr's physi-
Clans" The traveller went to the
princes house with the note; the
answer was not delayed; the next
day,tied hunds and feet, the poor
man was dragged off in IL cart to the
mines. Two years after, Peter the
Great was visiting the mines; he had
forgotten the adventure of the tat
man, when suddenly a miner threw
down his pick, rushed up to him,
and fell down ut his feet crying:
'Grace, grace! what ia it I have
done?" Peter looked ut him aston
ishcd, until lie remembered the story,
and said: "Oh, SO that is you; l
hope you are pleneed with me.
Stand up. How thin And slight you
have become! You pre- quite de-
livered from your OF er fat: it is n
first rate cure. Go, and remember
that work is the best antidote
against yourcomplaiAtl"-San From.

A Great Undertaking.

An attempt is now being made to
obtain n number of photographs
which shall cover tho whole extent
of the heavens. The task is, indeed,
an immense one. If the plates to be
used were the same size as those of
which have just been speaking it
would require about ten thousand of
them to represent the entire sky.
The great survey has, therefore, to
be divided among u number OF OBJ
servntories, some OF which are to be
in the Southern Hemisphere, for we
must include pictures of the South
ern Cross and the other constella-
tions OF the South, which we can new
er see from this part of the world.
Some splendid telescopes have been
especially constructed for the pur-
pose, and in a few years we may ex-
pect to see the survey in u fair way
towards completion.
may mention that the great diff
Guilty encountered in taking the pho.
tographs is that of keeping the stars
always ut the same point Of the plate
for the hour or more that the expos
ure is to last. The telescopes moved
smoothly under electrical guidance
from clock 80 rs to follow the star.
The attendant astronomer must ut
the same time patiently watch the
movement with the MD OF another
telescope and necessarily guard
against the slight Irregularities from
which no purely mechanical contriv-
ance can he entirely free. When the
great survey has been finished we
shall be in possession of u chart of
the whole sky, embracing millions of
stars, ench accurately depicted in its
exact place.-Philadclphia Times.

The knout.

With this horrible intrument on
experienced eNecutioner could insure
the death of the victim in II very few
strokes, and when q sentence wns
passed ordering the infection of IL

derstood what was intended that in
such cases the eXccutioner was fire.
qucntly bribed by the culprit or his
friends to exert his whole art so as
the more quickly to release him from
the torture. So, again when the En-.
rcror Nicholas, anxious to clear his
country from the reproacll of bcin,
the LAND of lnout" to Western eyes,
pompously proclaimed its abolition.
lie was careful to retain the power ot
intIicting corporal punishment in n
manner compared with which the
knont itself was merciful. The knout
could compass the death of it's victim
with some half dozen strokes,
but, before the same end could
he attained by it's substitute,
the stick, it was impossible
so shy how many blows might not
be required. An eye witness OF one
of these executions has described it
as being more hideous than anything
that could be conceived. The GRIMM
nj having been convicted of the de.
liberate murder of one of the Einper.
or's Minister'S. he well deserved to
die, and it was determined that die
he should; but capital punishment
and the knout had both been abol-
ished; so, in order to attain the end
in view, the wretched man was sell,
fenced to 5000 blows of the stick,
which no human being could receive
and live. The execution took place
in the public hay market; and when,
1in1looripg 400 or 1.bOO blows,
