Probably the most remarkable whip
ever made is that now owned by the
Vanderbilt family and formerly the prop
erty of the late w. II. Vanderbilt. The
history of this has never before been
recorded. In the fall of 1880 the jack
son q Wooden Car Co. of Berwick,
Penn, wanted to present Mr.. Vanderbilt
with token of their appreciation, and
Mr.. Jackson decided upon a fine whip.
Fritz Kaldenburg, the ivory sculptor,
was consulted about the matter, and
made a design, to cost two thousand dol
lars, which was accepted. The whip and
ivory stock, before any carving was done,
cost six hundred dollars, and was made
in Westfeld, Conn. 1t was seven feet
long. Above the stock the whip was
made of solid whalebone, then worth
three dollars per pound, and now scarce
at ten dollars. over this solid whale
bone was the finest braiding of split
| tapered whalebone ever attempted. The
/ bralding of the whip and the making of
the snapper occupied one whole month
The case for the whip cost one hundred
dollars, and after the death of William
Ii. Vanderbilt the makers tried to pur
chase it from Cornelius for advertising
purposes, but the offer was rejected, al
though fabulous price was mentioned

Blue Bulls daughters average about
same age as sons, as above given, and
only just beginning to come.
The lesson is, look out for pacingbred
mares of the Blue Bull family, they will
nearly all produce speed.
As the average age of the get of Blue
Bull is about ten years years youn-
ger than the get of Hambletoniah, it is
fair to presume that the comparison, so
far as herein given, will be more and
more each year to the credit of Blue
Bull for the next ten years, when the
records of BOTH so far as the produce of
themselves and their immediate descend
ants are concerned, will have been pretty
nearly made up.
TEN YEARS HENCE,
Those who are curious to know how
Blue Bulls record will then compare
with lIambletonian's of to-day, and
which will be the only fair comparison,
can easily do SO by preserving this arti-
Gle and comparing Hambletonian's rec
ords herein given with Blue Bulls in the
Year Book for 1900, or any year there
after.

Namss Of Two Delaware River..

The name ''MurderkiH, " applied to
an important stream in Delaware, is
explained in popular tradition by a
curious story that is told Of early set
tiers in another part Of the country.
According TO the legend, the stream
took its name from the fact that an
early European explorer, having land
ed on the bank of the creek, persuaded
a dozen natives to drag his cannon by a
rope tied about the muzzle and touched
of the gun with murderous results
when his dupes had got in line. The
name, of course, is merely a corruption
of the Dutch Motherkill, meaning an
other stream, because it is a large creek
with many tributaries. There is else
where In Delaware a BroadkilL. which
has come to be spelled with a final n"
apparently because the English settlers
took the last syllable to be the same
with the last syllable Of limekiln.-

There is a fortune awaiting the man
of sufficient ingenuity to invent some
use for the refuse hair Of the city's bar
Der shops. There are in the city 1.365
such shops. running on an average
three chairs each. and in them a grand
total Of not less than 1000 bushels Of
hair clippings accumulate monthly.
This hirsute mass Of all degrees Of color
and quality is carted away with the
ashes. no use having been found for it.
Those establishments which have ladies
DEPARTMENTS attached occasionally
make use of the shorn locks Of a fair
customer who is generous enough to
leave them behind But the occasions
are rare when the customer fails TO take
them away with her, so that the bar

Nothing of interest happened to US
until late in the evening. when, just as
we were turning up from the river into
a small peasant village. the name OF
which have now forgotten, both we
and our horses were startled by the
sudden appearance of a Wild looking
man in a long, tattered sheepskin coat,
who. from the shelter of a projecting
cliff, sprang into the road ahead OF US
shouting a hoarse but unintelligible
warning. and brandishing in the air an
armful Of blazing birch bark and
straw.

He says we must be smoked"
Tae cattle plague was then prevail

round this village the peasants had es
tablished a sanitary Gordon with the
hope Of protecting their " live stock
from contagion- They had heard o
the virtues Of fumigation, and were
subjecting to that process every vehicle
that crossed the village limits Th'

How People Hear Their own Voices.

How People Hear Their Own Voices
In his article on speech and Song"
Sir Morell Mackenzie says people do
not hear their own voices as other peo-
pie hear them. Voices are conveyed to
the auditory nerve, not only through
the outside air, but more directly from
the inside, through the Eustachian
tube as well as through the muscles
and bones Of the mouth and head. The
singer not only hears his own voice
from a different quarter. as we may say,
but be hears besides the contraction Of
his own muscles. The fact is well illus
trated by the photograph A listener
can recognize other peoples voices, but
If he speaks into the photograph, and
afterward Eeproduces his own voice, it
does not sound at all like itself to him
A free pardon. after this explanation,
may be more readily accorded to GER

quaintances who insist upon obuging

The beginning of the new year he waa
able to take an accurate account OF his
stock. and found he then had on hand
nine bronze turkeys, twenty-one black
Hamburgs, fifteen white Leghorns,
eleven Plymouth Rocks and twelve com.
mon hens; six Toulouse and twenty
common geese, nine Rouen and twenty.
three common ducks, and four Guinea
fowls. Likewise he was able to figure

mainly owing to wet weather, lice OF
accidental deaths. Anna knew exactly
the whole history of the untimely
deaths, for she was the sclf-appointed
sexton Of a carefully guarded little
cemetery under the lilacs. where she
had shed not few sympathizing tears.
The succeeding season was so success
full that the young poultryman laid up
snug sum over and above all expenses,
and began to speak Of needing more
ground: and when third season was
crowned with success. he felt justified
in buying ten-acre tract. through
which the creek ran-his mother, OF
course, being willing-and the close OF
the fourth year they moved house, barr
and stock upon it. The next year was
one of unusual activity; trees and shrub
berry to move; yards to inclose: new
grounds to improve: crops to care for IN
the old-home lots. However, Bert was
equal to the occasion. and, in addition
to these duties. he built an inexpensive,
but strong. dam across the creek at the
lower end of his field. thereby making
a fine field of action for his swarm Of
water fowls.
In another season he had added q
horse and cart to his possessions. as a
much-needcd help in marketing, haul
ing feed and offal from the butcher
shop and in cultivating his crops thus
curtailing expenses, as he had in the
past paid for such work. He was now
thoroughly established in growing
and paving business, with every thing
convenient for its successful continu-
ance. Besides he had the comforting
satisfaction of knowing every thing
was paid for, and he had the full re-
spect of every person in the entire COM
munity. the entire confidence of every
business man in the neighboring towns
and fair-siZed bank account in his IA
vor. Lastly. he had a good, comforta-
