horses are not in great demand. Horses OF
LOO lbs. with good style and action, Will al
ways be in demand at high prices. 1t costs
but few dollars more at the start to raise
colt to bring $500 to $500 at four years old,
than to raise one that can never bring more

has since been taken to Brookline, near Bos-
ton. Prince Albert was Thoroughbred Eng
Iish, and imported by the Drummond Agri-
cultural Society at cost of $4,000, and was
noted for style, durability and speed. The
BuIrush Morgan is a breed of horses usually
weighing 100 lbs. and are noted the best
farm horses superior roadsters and for COM
ing to maturity from one to two years young

WHAT ARE THE DOG DAYS.

The dog days last from the begin
ming of July to August II. The popu-
lar theory is that they are so called
because dogs then go mad; but the no
ton is etymologically false, besides
being untrue in fact. Dogs, strange
to say, are rather less liable to rabies
then than at any other time. ''Dog
days. is really a translation of the
Latin "dies caniculares" the twenty
days before and the twenty days after
the beliacal rising chat is, appearance
in the morning sum of the star Sirius,
whom the Romans called 'Canicula' or
little dog The ancients attribute
the most malevolent influence to this
star-our dog star and sacrifice
brown dog to it to appease its rage.
If this were not done they thought
that the sea would boil, the wine turn
sour aud the dogs begin to grow mad
the bile increase and all animals grow
languid. 1t is unnecessary to say that
in the course of some ages Sirius will
rise in midwinter instead of midsum-
mer. Perhaps some wiseacres, like
those who are ready to believe in dog
days and new moons changing the
weather and similar impossibilities.
will then give him credit for the frost
and snow.

near our house and then go back
without coming in? That evening Mrs.
Brown, grieved in spirit, sat in the

four stanzas and altering a few ex-
pressions.

Disgraced and blackguard peers arc now quite q strong body in England. One of the Irish earls, who was a cor poral in the Life Guards before he suc- cceded to hiS title, did six months hard labor for sorle breach of military dis cipline. Arother peer, an English one and the son of lord high chancellor, can never show his facein the house of lords again. He committed disgusting crime. He has dropped his title and is now clerk to q firm of auctioncers in Australia. The marquis of Ailesbuy still affects his costermonger suit on odd occasions, and likes to make bet that he will sell barrow of greens as quickly as any hswker in Whitechapel. By the way, i. is interesting to note in the peerage for 1891 that the mar chioness, once known as Dolly Tester, now figures as Dorothy Julia daugh- ter of T. .Hasely, Esq" Tester's papa was about as unmitigated ruffian of the tough tribe as England has ever produced.

 A botanist took party of ladies and gentlemen over his grounds, pointing out the rarest among his plants irnd flowers, and explaining their virtues.
 One of the visitors was an elderly miss, who appeared to take infinite de- light in declaring, whenever she had a chance, that the plants and flowers in her own garden were as beautiful as those in the botanists.
 Just as they were passing a giant cactus, she exclaimed, "Oh! that is nothing extraordinary. Ihave a much larger cactus at home. Indeed; l planted it myself!"

"I look upon it as an absolute inl- pertinence for one adult person to dic- tate to another the proper temperature of a room, a woman of sense remarked not long since. The people who do such things are, for the most part in- tolerably selfish and interested only in their own comfort. They have no more right to regulate the state of the mercury for me, than to order the amount of sugar in my coffee, or if shall have my beef rare or well done.
 Because some medical authority has declared that 74e to 76s is a medi- um temperature, these themometric cranks fling doors and windows open and shut up heaters to suit them selves. "--New York Ledger.

A RUSSIAN ROMANCE.
Walter Bssant's Shortest Story and Ons
 of His Best. ~

| ot tbts ASCsr
 Walter Besant, the English novelist in note received from him by the Philadelphia Press, says: Here is a true story which does not belong to my correspondence, but think it very in teresting. give it as it was told to mo: "A certain young Russian, of good family, fell in love with village girl, whom he wished to marry. His father, objecting on the ground of social dis parity, made arrangements by which the girl was betrothed to a young peas- ant of her own class.
 'Now. 1t is the custom in some parts of Russia for the bridegroom and his friends 10 begin drinking early in the day of the marriage, so that when the time comes for the church cerem ony the groom has often to be led to the altar and supported by a friend on either band. This happened on the morning of the marriage of the girl. The bridegroom was led to the altar and supported by two men, of whom oao was the young gentleman himself.
 Nov mark his craft and subtlety. When tf time came for joining hands he put out his own hand, the groom being too far gone to notice anything. and so xbs joined in matrimony to the girl. sThc certificate of the marriage haG already been written in the register beioress ahe ceremony, precaution ob- viowslS necessary.
 "Chs wedding over, the Soung noble took tto girl from her people at the church door, drove her away, and took her 70 Paris, where they lived togeth- CT ir anity for several years.
 "Than the father died, and it be- came necessary to return to Russia, and, iS possible, for the sake of the chil sren, to get the marriage duly ack no yledged.
 "TlLg business was intrusted to a lawyes who visited the village and saw tlo register. He returned, stat ing that it was impossible, because the marriage was entered in the books as between the rustlc and the girl Be- ing, however, assured that something must he done he returned, got posses sion ot the register, and clumsily erase the name of the rustic bride. groom. This done heat this point you uss what he did. and every says, killed in the other name No he d.! not; he wrote again over tho erasure the uame of the village swain.

Lookout, Girls.

A very peculiar case was recently tried in a German court and resulted in the offender being fined. An old German gave everybody to understand that he was 104 years old, and tho pa- pers getting hold of the fact gave him so much free advertising that he began to attract a great deal of attention. Finally somebody who hadn't much to do looked up the court records, and made the startling discovery that he was only S9 years of age. Thereupon he was arrested, tried as an impostor and fined as stated above. It is poor rule that won't work both ways and some of our 20-year-old girls who. strange to say, have seen in the neigh borhood of thirty-nine. birthdays, had better look out or the boogy man will catch them. -Peck's Sun.

T,,e Covers Make the Books.

One of the most expensive books brought out this year has failed to sell because it had dull colored cover. It was very richly illustrated and elegantly printed, and as further effort to make it unique the idea of binding it in leather was adopted. That killed it. The booksellers offered it to their lady customers but the ledies listened to nothing that was said for it. They brushed it aside with the remark, "Its not pretty" or "It will not match anything in the house. |" Vastly inferier books with splash of red op the cover or with gold or silver chasing on the binding were sold as fast as they could be printed.

HOW MAN MADE HIS ENTRY.
An Indian Version of the Creation of tho World and the Origin of the Race.

World and the Origin of the Race.
 There are few stories of legendary nature that are not related in several different forms. A correspondent who has read the Indian legend of the crea- ton sends the following excellent yer sion of it:
 When the Great Spirit created the world he first made three men. all of the same color. Then he led them to pool of water and bade them jump in and bathe. One of them obeying at once leaped in advance of his fel- lows and came out clean and white.
 The others hesitated, but one soon. followed the first. When he went in the water had become somewhat stilin- ed and he came out copper-colored.
 Then the third man went in. By that time the water of the pool had become black and he was consequently black when he had bathed.
 Thus it happens that there are white men, red men and black men in the world.
 Then the Great Spirit laid down three packages before the three men. which contained their future fate Out of pity for the black man he permitted him to have his first choice of the parcels,
 The black man, without hesitation, took the'largest of the parcels; the red man, whose turn was next, took the next largest parcel, and the white man got the remaining one, which was very small.
 Then the men opened their packages. That of the black man was found to contain shovels and other implements of labor, the red mans contained bows and arrows and the white mans small parcel consisted of pens, ink and tools for light work.
 From that time on each man made use of the tools he had chosen.

The smal, Roy,s Revelation.

It is the small boy who usually tells things, and the dinner table is his fa- vorite theatre, says the Atlanta Con- stitution. Not long ago bright little fellow out on Peachtree street peered over into the dish at the head of the table, and exclaimed:
 What a little chicken for so many people,"
 The company smiled surreptitiously, and his mother endeavored to quiet him. But he was like Banquo's ghost. After they had all been helped and were eating, his face suddenly lit up, and, clapping his hands, he shouted:
 "Oh, yes, l know now, mamma. This is the little chicken that was sick so long in the yard, ain't it?"

The nuptial usages and phrase now common in England are chiefly of Roman origin. It was a rule among the Romans that the, bride should be brought to her husband with cover ing or veil cast over her head, and hence the ceremony was called nuptial; from nubo-to veil. The ceremony of putting on the wedding-ring was im- ported into that country by the Nor mana
