Information from Lexington, KY, shows
that during 1890 both the thoroughbred
and trotting horses enjoyed boom, but
according 10 the records of the auction
sales the former outsold tho latter. The
two highest-priced horses sold at auction
in America in 1890 were thoroughbreds
During the period between Jan. l. 1890, to
the same date in 1891, 2,l99 trOtting bred
horses changed hands at auction for to-
tai OF 81, 604, 76l, an average of tritle over
$3.50 per head. In the like period 2,056
thoroughbreds passed under the auction
GERS hammer for the sum 0f 81 ,692, $50, an
average OF shade above S796 per head.
OF the two classes combined during 1890,
4, 235 horses thus changed hands for q
grand total of s. ,296, S4l, a general aver
age of few cents over SIS per head.
Laying aside the rivalry ex sting between
the breeder of the trotter and he who pins
his faith to the thoroughbred, to a neutral
person the above recapitulation is one OF
which horsemen Of all opinions should
be proud, as it shows what a business the
horse industry has finally come to be. As
Stunning the privates TO amount to fully as
much as those made from the auctIoneer's
stand, it will be seen that during the year
past over 100000 worth of horses
changed hands on the American CONT
nent. The table below gives q list OF
horses that sod in this country in 1890 at
auction for 5000 and over, the thorough
BREEDS being in one column and the trot-
tiers in the other.

A Hartford, Conn, boy recently wrote
the following composition on girls:
Girls are a nuisance in family where
there is boy. They are always breaking
something and laying it on him. If they
are going to an entertainment that begins
at o'clock they will begin to get ready at
O'Clock and stand before the glass an
hour and hall at least. You can 90 into
any house where a girl lives and lift up
the mat before the glass and you will see
there Is scarcely any carpet left there.
Girls are allowed to come in at the front
door, while the boys have to 60 round to
the back door day or night. They can stay
out of school any time they want to, but
boy cannot unless he pays truant. Ii girls
want to go out at night with the boys they
cell their folks they are a-going to church,
but If boy tells his folks that they think
he is lying to them. Girls can go to their
brothers bureau and mix everything up
and read his letters and then plague him
about them. Then they are mad at him
If he scolds about it. When he goes to
his sisters bureau to get something che
took out of his, she makes noise like
some wild animal and scares the life out
of him. Girls are always on hand when
there is any candy brought into the house
and eat it all up before their brother gets
around. And if the folks ever want TO go
out to spend the evening, their brother
has to stay with them, because they are
afraid to stay alone. II ever boy smokes,
his sister is always around somewhere TO
see him and goes home and tells mis-
father and mother, and then he gets a
scolding, all on her account; and then
she will want him 10 go to the store three
times a week for tea-lead to do her hair
up on. One bov is worth three girls. Now,
boys, this is all true, for have two sis
ters myself and know all about it. Well,
can't think Of much more TO write, so l

His Explanation TO How He Had Dis

The way in which children put things is
often very droll from the association of
ideas which it shows must exist In their
minds, says the Boston Courier. They
have so much to learn that it is no won
der that it takes them good while to
separate their ideas so as TO keep things
from being jumbled up in their though IS
and In their speech.
In q San Francisco kindergarten one
day the teacher distributed little basket
of cherries which had been sent in by a
friend and so many were the children
that there proved to be but one cherry for
each child. Ii is the rule that when there
is any treat OF this sort the children shall
wait until all are served, and not begin to
eat until all are ready. On this occasion,
however. one small boy positively could
not restrain his eagerness, and the teAcher
saw him nibbling at the dainty before the
word was given.

He opened little grimy fist, disclosing

VERY EXPENSIVE DRUGS.
What Two Ounces of PhysostiEmiDe May
Cost Yen.
TSt Louis Rspubiic1


[St. Louis Rspublic.l
We would, PERHAPS, wonder less at the
fancy charges made by physicians and
surgeons who have rare and exceptional
cases in charge if we only knew the cost
OF drugs they use in special diseases. For
the benefit OF the army of ''the curious"
we have prepared the following list of
scarce and expensive drugs:
Three pound bottle of alkaloid of aconi-
tine, S4S5.50; quarter ounce vial of cheli-
domino alkaloid a new drug used in skin
diseases, scrofula. and dropsy, SIS; CO.
caine, about Sl20 per pound. A five
ounce bottle of true cotoin" will cost
about $3.50, or about so an ounce. Crys-
tails of Ella erin, poison used IN cases of
hydrophobia and lockjaw, prepared from
plant called South American Indian ar
row, is worth about S145 per ounce.
Among other costly drugs we might
mention the following, and the different
sized bottles and walls in which they are
sold: Algaricin, Al ounces, 1878: colo
cynthin, 81 ounces, S114.75; con,ine by
drochlorate, AZ ounces, S9S45; cyclamin
3! ounces, S54.04; digitoxin, ii ounces,
$40; ntisin, IL ounces, S9l Is; hello
trOpin. ounces, S61.25; nydrastine-hy-
drOchlOrate, 81 ounces. Sl94.S0: papayotin,
used as q solvent for the diphtheric mem
brane, Is ounce bottle, per bottle, SlS9, 80.
Besides these there are various prepare
tions made from the Calabar bean. the
cost of which is amazing. They are chiefly
sed in diseases OF the eye One is called
phyrostigmine alkaloid, and costs $3.50
per ounce vial. Physostigmine crystals
are still more expensive, being sold in two
and a half ounce bottles at a cost of
S503.l5. Still another preparation of the
Calabar is physostigmine calicylate crys-
tall, an aristOcratic drug that surely fur
nishes a fitting capsheaf for this pyramid
of costly stuiTs, which is furnished to the
consumer who is able to paw at the rea-
sonable charge of Sl,Sl0,020 for a two
ounce vial
