Died when 1t Reached Its Value.

Henry ]. Mowry, of Syracuse, is a
great horse buyer and man who can
tell the good and bad points about a
horse with his eyes shut. He was so ex-
pert in horsefesh that President Cleye-
land trusted him to buy his horses, and
the finest animals Washington has ever
seen were brought there for Mr. Cleve-
land by Mr.. Mowry. Several years ago,
In Syracuse, he went into car stable
which had just received fresh stock of
horses. He was asked to look them over,
and did 80. After he got through ho told
the hostler TO bring out certain horse he
designated.
"How much did you pay for that
horse?" ho asked one of tho directors Of
the road.
"Seventy-five dollars"
"In two years, with careful training"
said Mr.. Mowry, "that horse will be
worth 1000 or I'll cat him."
The director followed Mr.. Mowry's adj
vice, had tho horse carefully trained,
and in one year more was worth SIS, 900
to the owner. But on his first race he
made a misjmnp over a hurdle, broke
his neck, and horse and $4,000 went
slKyward.
When Mr.. Mowry told the director to
take that horse out and train him for u
hurdle jumper he did not state that he
would be apt to break his neck before he
made cent for his owner. Therefore
the director was out $4,000 for training
and $75 horse.

Praying and Eating.

II religious festivals make people re-
Hgiens the Sardes are among the most
religious of nations. Seldom did we en-
ter town or village without finding the
place either in the midst of fiesta, an
ticipating n coming fiesta, or discussing
the fiesta just ended. Scattered over tho
island are multitude of small chapels
dedicated to obscure saints, and to which
the villagers for miles around flock with
provisions and bedding once or twice
year. They camp out in the open or
sleep in adjacent caves; apriest says mass
in their midst, and they all eat and drink
as If they had never before had a good
meal, or as If the rest of their lives was
to be one long fast.
A disagreeable litter Of OK bones, ribs
of sheep, grunge peel, bean skins and
stones of olives strewn amid the grass
near the hermitage or on the level earth
at the very church door, bears constant
witness to the traveller OF this sort of re-
ligious junketing up and down tho land.
The following statistics of food consumed
at traditional gathering, merely to cele-
brate the ordination of a priest In the
district of Mamojada, shadows forth the
magnitude of the Sarde festas in general.
Two thousand five hundred people were
present, and between them they ate 92
cows, 20 calves, 29 deer and wild boars,
740 sheep, 300 lambs, killings and suck.
ing pigs, 600 fowls, 90 measures-of what
size indeterminate--of sugar, 80 pounds
of pepper and spices, $50 measures of
corn, hundredweight of rice, hun
dredweight of dates, 90 sugared cakes,
5000 eggs, 20 large barrels of wine, 5000
fish and avast quantity of confectionery.

whence weeds Come.

The Farmers Gazette, of London, re-
Gently made some practical remarks
upon weeds and whence they come. 1t
is probable, according to this article, that
the six most obnoxious weeds found on
arabic soils are the dock, thistle, nettle,
charlock, the poppy and bindwecd. A
weed is defined as any plant out of place.
Cultivated grasses are frequently found
growing in arabic fields, and there they
are distinctly weeds, inasmuch as they
arc fed upon the food which the cult
waited crop requires and occupy the place
which it should occupy. In answer to
the question whence weeds come there
are, writes q correspondent of The Man
chester Guardian, 'eight replies given,
to one or two CT which may refer. 1t
is remarked that the seeds of weeds are
often present among the seeds which are
sown, and that especially is this the case
in grass seeds. To guard against this tho
farmer should so to seedsmen who are
known to have taken great precautions
in the cleaning of their seeds.
Further, it is remarked that many
seeds are introduced with manure which
is distributed upon the land. The wind
is responsible for carrying the seeds of
weeds both into our gardens and fields,
and this is one reason why farmers
should not only keep their fields but
their hedgerows also clean. The hedge
rows are the cause of great deal of
mischief, as well as the strips of land on
either side of the high road, which no.
body owns and which few attempt to
clean. If tho farm is to DO kept free
from weeds, the hedges, the bitches and
the roadsides must be kept clean also.
Among other methods of distributing
seeds, it is suggested that running SUR
face waters and streams carry them from
field to field, that seeds are dropped by
birds and are found in their manure,
while others are carried in the mud on
their feet. Again, some seeds cling to
domestic animals and even to the cloth
ing of the men. 1t is remarked that,
after the invasion of France by the Ger
mans, weeds which had been carried by
the German army appeared in some
places where they had been practically
unknown before"

A Story of nnrtnn.

The following is from Joseph Jeffer-
sons autobiography in The Century: II
have often thought that Mr.. Burton must
have had Irish blood in him, for he was
continually spreading the tail of his coat
for fight-I mean an intellectual fight,
as physically he was not pugnacious.
Quarrelsome persons who do not indulge
in pugilistic encounters are fond of law
suits; it is only another way of having it
out, and Burton must have spent for
tune In fees. His humor ON the witness
stand was quite equal to that of Sam
Weller. On one occasion while the actor
was going through bankruptcy, an en-
inent lawyer in Philadelphia thought he
detected desire on Burton's part to
conceal some facts relative to largo
sum of money that he had made during
the production of tho 'Naiad Queen.
Rising with great dignity, and glaring
liercely at Burton, he demanded What
became of that money, sir?' The come
dian looked him straight in the face;
then rising in imitation of an attorney.
he replied: The lawyers got it."

yi,l Meet No More.

A German, long resident in London,
who left homo at 90 years of age, there
by cvading service in the army, has sent
to the English papers communication
received from the authorities in '.the
Fatherland" in answer to an application
to be permitted to come and visit his
father ere he died. "Comc by all means"
was in effect the austere rejoinder, 'but
you will have to pay fine of &c 10s.,
undergo six weeks drilling and spend six
months in n fortress" This was o little
too much for the correspondents filial
instinct. ut would havc been great
joy to me to have seen my father" he
says, "but under these circumstances we
shall meet no lore,"--London Letter.

IN SEARCH OF REST.


Even as one In city pent,
pazed with the stir and din OF town,
Drains on the pane in discomfort,
And sees the dreary rain come down.
Yet through the dimned and dripping glass
Behold, in fancy, visions pass
OF spring that breaks with all her leaves,
OF birds that build In thatch and caves
OF woodlands where the throstle calls,
OF girls that gather cowslip balls,
OF kline that low and lambs that cry,
OF trains that jolt and rumble by,
OF brooks that sing by brambly ways,
OF sunburned folk that stand and gaze
OF all the dreams with which men cheat
The stony sermons of the street;
So, in its hour the artist BRAIN
Weary of human ills and woes,
Weary of passion and of pain,
And vaguely craving for repose,
Deserts awhile the stage of strife
To draw the even, ordered life,
The easeful days, the dreamless nights,
The homely round Of plain delights,
The calm, the unambitioned mind
Which all men seek and few men find.
Austin Dobson, In bis prologue TO The Quiet Life.

THE democrats who are holding the
dead lock are instructed by Boss Lei
mann to hold fas. and adjourn without
organization. Such is the plan unless
the house can be organized in accord
ance with their wishes They believe
that after adjournment Gov. Larrabee
will regard the situation as An extraor-
binary emergency as contemplated by
the constitution, and that he will call a
special session to canvass the votes and
permit the Inauguration of the govern
or.elect Under the special program as
viewed by the democrats they would
accept republican speaker and organi-
cation coula be speedily effected. The
plan is well conceived, but unfortunate
ly there are obstacles in the way of its
fulfllment. A great many will not
consider that adjournment without Or
ganization creates that extraordinary
emergency. 1t might be extraordinary
with Mr.. Boies and his hangers on, but
the people of Iowa would not be exer
cised over the prospect. We would
still have Larrabee at the executive
desk. And what person has not conf
dence that he would continue the man
agement of state affairs with the sam
wise hand which has conducted affairs
through two administrations. LARA
bee is acceptable to democrats as call
didate for United States Senator, in
deed they have deserted candidates o.
their own party for that position an
actually prefer Larrabee above 81
Others. Circumstances over whic'
they have no control will deprive then
of that coveted privilege, and being un-

because she can not secure it herself is
unworthy of that great city. She made
a great effort to secure the site, but
failing in that she could well afford tC
