A RACING PARsoN.

The Rev. j. w. Arney Is = Unique Fig
ure in the sporting World.
A preacher in n sulky driving a horse at
a horse race gotten up by himself and
pocketing the gate, grand stand and entry
fees to help out his Methodist salary is a
decidedly unique figure in the person Of
Rev. ]. w. Arney, of Saranac, Mich. His
bills and circulars signed with his rover
end title caused CONSERVATION not only
among the strict members Of his local
church, but sent a thrill Of horror among
all the deacons in his conference.
He comes from an ancestry Of MethO-
dists extending hlck three generations,
part CT which had rs peculiar tendencies
as have developed I'm his case. He has two
children. both of whom play violins in
church, and their father accompanies them
on a v~ioloncello between his regular pulpit
duties, and the quartet is made complete
by his wife at the organ. The parson in
writing about this feature says 1. is more
enjoyed because OF its uniqueness and nov
city than because of its skill. He says that
a superstition exists that any pastor who
allows the fiddle in church is possessed of
the devil and his deacons are sure he has a
whole flock, because he owns three trot-
tiers, drives them fast and breaches that it
Is no sin even for n preacher not to want
to take everybody's dust.
The best horse for circuit riding and
making pastoral calls is the one that gets
you there the quickest, he says, and the
nearer 1t comes to being a trotter with a
record the more nearly it becomes ortho-

the following experience of a Washing
ton druggist may be considered season.
able. He said he had been going to the
seashOre every summer, and had fallen
into the habit of taking with him a box
of the best cigars that his case in the
store afforded, being a moderate smoker,
with n taste for a good weed. But up
to n certain time he found it difficult to
obtain any enjoyment out of his costly
tobacco, finding that as soon as he got
near the air of the ocean the cigars be-
gan to droop and wilt, as the smokers
phrase goes, and their draught became
difficult, and the process of pulling them
became an altogether tedious operation.
One day he was smoking one of them
with n good deal of difficulty on a chair
on the beach when a gentleman sitting
near accosted him, saying that he had
noticed the trouble he was having with
his cigars, and that they were probably
Of an imported brand. To this the drug
gist assented, and the other, pulling a
couple of cigars from his pocket, handed
them to the rather astonished smoker
with the remark that he thought they

of them, and in a minute was enjoying
one of the most delightful smokes he had
had since he left home. The cigar drew
finely and did not wilt as the others had
done.
He asked his new friend why it was,
and was told that it seemed imported ci-
gars are 80 affected by the salt air as to
lose their shape and their drawing quail
tiles, while cheap cigars or "two-fers,"
as they are called, seem to be at their
best in such an atmosphere, absorbing
just enough Of the salt air to take on a
delicious flavor. Thenceforth the drug
gist saved money by smoking nothing
but cheap cigars while he was at the
seashore, and every time he saw a man
trying to smoke a good cigar with the
same luck which he had encountered he
played the good Samaritan" and offered
him a bad one, together with the advice
to smoke nom other within reach of the
air from the sea. He also found that
when he returned to town the good CT
gars would regain their shape and quail
ity and were as enjoyable as ever, while
the Others were as detestable as he had
always found them to be.-Washington

H. E. Laurie, the crack English bicyclist,
now in the United States to see what
honors he can win, is a very well built
man, standing 3 IT. 81 In. tall, and weigh
ing 1893 pounds in racing costume. He has
not been on the path long, but has made
some unusual records. His latest feat was
at the royal games at Paddington in the
presence of the Prince and Princess OF
Wales, when he broke all the records on a
safety machine from one to ten miles,
doing the latter distance In 2Tm. SO 2-5s.
He Is at Lynn, Mass. where he will train
on account of the fine track there.
The new road improvement bill lately
passed by the state of Massachusetts has
caused much favorable Comment by the
many bicycle clubs In that state. Many of
these clubs have passed a vote OF thanks to
several senators who took an active part
in favor of the bill.
An order recently passed by the com
m~issioners OF DRUID Hill park, Baltimore,

fact that only one Shipment has been

to two cents per pound above highest
market prices quoted. During the month
of June overl0,O0 pounds of butter were

convinced that the stockholders are not

market is down to low ebb at present.
But this depression cannot last much

cream is not higher. Things will come
right by-and- by.
