A Valuable Invention.

OF fire from overheating of the axle-that

view with an official of company which
was TO take up the invention.
The interview took place at the home
Of the inventor. and his daughter, a
young lady we'll on in her teens, sat in
an adjoining room, where she overheard
all that was said.
Although she listened intently she did
not understand all the details OF the
conversation. but that she was much i'm
pressed by what she did hear was shown
by the fact that the next day she con-
fded to al aunt that the family was on
the eve Of a great success.
Il heard papa telling Mr.. Blank all
about his new invention last night" she
explained, land Mr.. Blank said there
was fortune in Il"
But what sort of an invention IS it,
her aunt inquired.
The girl put her head thoughtfully on
one side for moment.
Il am not quite sure" she answered.

The Pretty Blue jaw.

Beyond question the blue jay is the
prettiest of American cone bills. AS his
name indicates, blue is the predominant
color of his plumage, and it runs through
all its most beautiful shades along his
back and tail until it merges into silver
white on his breast. He has a heavy,
pointed crest of dark, yet brilliant feath-
ers raised above his head. His eyes are
large, fierce and radiant, and his bill is
short and strong. He is somewhat
larger than the black faced redbird Of
the south, which he resembles very
closely in shape and in the way he flies.
The common cry of the blue jay is
harsh and disagreeable, and it sounds
not unlike ''de-jay, delay" but his love
notes are tender and sweet, "too-loo-loo,
too-loo-loo, as if his mates name was
Lulu. He cannot be tanned, and is quite
unlike himself when caged.-Philadel-
phia Times.

from strains of blood to which he was pub
icly partial, that he declined TO serve in
the Office for which he had been selected.
This was rather pity, but the delicacy OF
his motives was highly appreciated
All those excellent qualities which were
30 highly valued in the hackney of the
olden time have been preserved, it Is
thought, in the modern horse, with the ex-
ception that he is now taller and probably
has a higher knee action. Back, shoulders,
legs and feet were what were formerly
esteemed, and that is what Is wanted now.
"'Tis not the pace that kills." the old
fashioned English groom is represented as

roadster, no general utility horse is good
for anything without good feet. No foot,
no horse" is an old English adage. And
so have the feet Of horses been regarded in
all times.
The hackney stallion, it seems to me, is
particularly adapted to mate with thewild
horses of the west. 1t might not be that
anything like standard hackney would
at once be produced. but fancy that the

If you want to deal with New York
truckmen, cabmen, street vendors, and
many small tradesmen at bottom figures,
wear poor clothes or send somebody else.
The we'll dressed man who carries about
in his personal appearance the signs of
prosperity will often be compelled to
pay double. He will frequently be made
the victim of various kinds of extortion,
and will get no sympathy from any
quarter. On the other hand, the poor
have soft heart for each other, and the
appearance of poverty insures the lowest
cash price for goods or service.
If you don't believe this, try it on
some favorable occasion, and you will
be both amused and instructed.-New

My boy is smart, he is, tell ye, an he'll

The old bag paused and wiped her
eyes. She was woman even yet, and
Nutting's heart softened toward her.

Slowly Nutting's eyes ran about the
room. Escape was impossi ble-help
would not come. A single cry meant
instant death-he was lost! His heart
sank.
Suddenly the butt of the old dueling
pistol came within the circle of his
vision. Cool as his would-be murderer,
he turned to him and said, "Wil you
let me smoke once more?"
The fellow eyed him sharply.
Smoke? Yes, one cigar" he said at
length. And lowering the muzzle of his
weapon, he thrust it into his pocket to
supply his victims wants.

like fash his hand shot upward to-
ward the pigeonhole where lay the old
dueling pistol.
"Down with your hand" cried Allen.
1t was too late. There came sharp
and ringing report, single cry, dull
and sickening thud upon the floor, and
all was over.
And the moon, breaking between the
rifted clouds without, looked through
the open window upon the face of the
dead, while Nutting, white and
trembling, held in his nerveless hand
smoking pistol.
The silver bullet had found it's mark

MIR. JOHN a. LoGAN'S YOUNG DERBY.
very desirable, therefore, that there should
belong to every country gentleman stout
horse, at once capable of carrying heavy
weight, and active enough to get over the
rough roads with some degree of speed.
The horses having these requirements were
called hacks or hackneys, and they were
most highly esteemed, and when first class
brought prices almost as great as hunters.
In this class at that time, a hundred years
ago, were classed ponies, cobs, roadsters
and Galloways Indeed almost any stout
horse which was neither a hunter nor a
racehorse was called hack. But the per-
lection of hack was a horse between four
teen and fifteen hands high, with strong
shoulders, short back, strong, fat legs,
sloping pasterns and hard, sound feet. He
was expected to walk five miles in the hour,
trot twelve miles in the same time and,
when called upon. gallop sixteen or eight
cen miles in an hour without once throw
ing up his head.
This was what they used to think was
good hackney, and he was the general util-
ity horse of every place, and fit for any kind
Of work except racing and hunting. The
authorities of the olden time confess that
the breeding of the hackney was matter

could not be depended upon to reproduce
their own admirable qualities in their
progeny. But more recent breeders have
been more successful, and they now have in

England class of horses called hackneys
as distinct in their characteristics as the
| thoroughbred and American trotter, for
instance and which reproduce themselves
with as much certainty as any other class
To accomplish this required much study,
many experiments and vast outlay, and
it has only been done with certainty very
recently. The English love sport better
than any other people in the world, and it
is not wonderful, therefore, that breeding
of thoroughbreds, or rather breeding from
thoroughbreds, has been carried to an ex-
cess. The thoroughbred sire has been
crossed and recrossed with all other kinds
of horses, no matter how great the contrast
between the classes mated. The conse-
quences have at times been almost fatal to
other useful classes of horses, and I recent
~ read an official report in which it was
said that some of the Breeds what from
this practice and from importations into
Germany, Holland and France, had almost
become extinct. But for the intervention
OF speciality societies or clubs devoted to
the interests of certain horses these En-
ghsh breeds might have entirely passed
away in the old country. These clubs and
the enterprising members of them have
prevented this, and have, during the past
few years, rather improved such useful
horses.
Mr.. Burdett- Coutts, he who married the
very rich baroness, has been most active in
breeding hackneys, and the great improve
ment in these horses is by many conceded
to have been brought about by his expert
ments. Formerly, as I have said, the hack

after awhile these hardy and active west
ern ponies would become splendid race OF
useful horses and large enough 20 do many
things for which, Oh account of light
weight, they are now unfit. 1t has been
strongly demonstrated that the hackney
stallion mated to thoroughbred mare
produces an exceedingly fine horse, either
for driving or riding. In breeding the
other way-that is, a thoroughbred stallion
and hackney mare-the result is not so

saddle than anything else. Now he is
not counted up to size unless he is fifteen
hands and one inch high, and he is some
times even two inches taller. Mr.. Burdett-
Coutts says that fifteen hands two inches
and one-half Is the ideal height for hack
ney.
This horse IS now rapidly becoming the
fashion IN America, and during the past
few years there have been many imp0rta-
tons OF both stations and mares. The
