For the supremacy as a saleabe produc-
ton the thorOug bred and the trotter are
now running a neck-and-neck race, and the
question is at hand, which will wear the
honors in 1891? The answer must be left
for the records to decide, but one thing is
certain, the horses OF America have be-
come at least the country's pride. With
such records before them as the above fig
ures show, the man must be near-sighted
and narrOw-m nded indeed that would mes
itate in riskIng capital in a production
which is not only always saleable, but in
many instances brings prices which In
themselves are a small fortune, even in
this age of miliiOnaires. In his great work
on the horse, Frank Forester predicted
that skilliul breeding, the blending of win
ming lines OF blood, would result In the
rearing of high types OF the horse to a
standard ofperiection that would force his
recognition in the busy markets OF the
greatest industries of the country. He
spoke as a prophet; 1891 has seen his
prophecy fulfilled.

This is an old, old belief of the sailor. This
superstition at least cannot be traced to the

origin in the impotence of the mariner. who.
while his vessel lay becalmed, remembered
with regret the hoarse moaning and shrek

cesses, OF at least to be used in the distribu-
ton and application of power furnished by
steam generated in great quantities and eco
nomically at central points, or by waterfalls
or the tides of the sea. Electric motors have
already been so perfected as to demonstrate
not only the ease with which the power pro
duced by dynamo may be distributed, but
its adaptabiiity to almost every purpose for
which power is required.
Nearly thirty street railways are already
operated by electric motors of various kinds.

Buying Cigars in Russia.

To get cigar anywhere in Russia YOU
must buy whole box. 1t frequently hap
pens, however, that the whole box contains
but one cigar. Boxes are never broken, and
the purchaser can make examination of the
weed only through the glass cover. You
cannot tell till you buy and are permitted to
break the seal just what the article is.
Every box of cigars or cigarettes has glass
lid or cover, and you can see the article YOU
purchase, but you cannot feel or smell it,
Generally when you ask for cigar a large
box is handed to you. This has cover of
glass so large that you can see well what the
article is When you have selected the
quality desired from number of boxes laid
out for inspection, you make known how
many you desire, and the dealer-the "tobac
fabricker''-gives you a box containing the
exact number. Thus boxes of one. two.
three, five, six, ETC., are made of every Quail
ity. Most of the cigars are very bad-the
domestic manufacture generally intolerable
and the price is high.
This mode of guarding against evasions of
the high taxes on cigars has been followed a
long time. 1t grew out Of the proposition
laid down by Ivan the Terrible, Peter the
Great and other cars, who held that all Rus
