TrOtting and Pacing Horse Breeders
Ass0ci alton.
The Northwestern Breeders Associa-
ton, of GAINESVILLE. gave the banner trot>
ting meeting of 1890. but their meeting
to be given Aug. II to % promises to
eclipse all trotting meetings for 1891.
Not less than 450 horses and colts are
entered for their six days meeting. and
nearly all the prominent stables will be
represented. The noted California able
of Monroe Salisbury will be represented
by half dozen noted horses, among them
Margaret s. 2:123, the champion money
winner of 1890. Budd Doble has his
string of guilt edged animals entered
among them Nancy Hanks, believed to
be the best 4-yesr-old out. She will
meet Margaret S, when a contest worth
hundreds of miles of travel will be seen.
The three crack performers of the turf
H9mestake, Alvin and McDoel, will give
an exhibition to enthuse the thousands
who will attend. The free for-sll pace
has seven flyers. The 2:24 pace has the
unprecedented number of % performers.
while the 2:26 trot has the enormous num-
Der of "a entries. Even the 2:17 trot
has IL noted performers, and the 2:33 trot
%, the 2:19 pace, 10, etc. The
entries in several classes are so numerous
that the entries will be divided, even then
making the largest fields of starters ever
seen upon track. The great carnival
will last six days, but the events will be
so numerous and varied that the audience
will never become wearied from delays
In short the Breeders Meeting will sustain
their well earned reputation Of giving the
biggest trotting show on earth.

Doctors and Politics.

1t is not generally known that Marat,
the Revolutionist, dispatched by Charlotte
Corday, was a physician, and that, he had
a certain success in treating consumption.
1t is recorded of him that he cured a titled
lady of this disease in its advanced stages,
and that her gratitude to him knew no
bounds. Unfortunately he was enticed
into politics and prevented from pursuing
his studies further in a direction that
might have made his memory revered in
stead of detested
For some reason doctors seem to drift
naturally toward politics and radicalism,
perhaps because their profession tends to
render them skeptical. In Brazil and the
Argentine Republic they have shown them
selves decidedly ambitious. The celebrated
DR.. Charcot is a radical whose principles
verge on the revolutionary. Clemenceau
gave up his medical practice years ago
to devote himself to politics, and though
he is a man of great talent and brilliant
orator, his political efforts have not con-
tributed to his personal advancement or
been of great benefit to his country. Be
sides Clemenceau there are from forty to
fifty physicians in the French chamber of
deputies-San Francisco Chronicle.

4 Matter of Money.

Young people of both sexes should early
be taught the use of money, and to rightly
know its value they should be given ways
of earning it, to spend, within reasonable
limits, as they choose. Much of the work
which even little children do in the shape
of chores around the house ought to be
paid for, as perhaps a better way of getting
money into a child's hand than any other.
1t is very demoralizing to beg, and the
child that is encouraged or even allowed to
get it's spending money in this way is lay
ing up poor foundation for after life.
On the farm the means for earning money
should as much as possible be based on
farm operations. When the boys see in
their own pockets some of the money made
by farming they will take more interest in
their daily work. Unless parents who are
farmers desire teadiscourage their sons
from following this business, they should
be allowed to do something each year on
their own account and have the money
they thus make. The little thus earned
early by themselves will be worth hun
bred times as much as if left to them after
the death of their parents, who had pre-
viously kept them ignorant of any practi-
cal knowledge of the value of money and
its uses.-Herald of Health.

The Colors of Eels.

The eel is very unpopular with many
people, but like many unpopular things be
improves with acquaintance. In form he
is long. slender and graceful. In color,
dark green above and yellowish white be-
low. Many believe that there are two dis
tinct varieties, the salt and the fresh water
eel but | am inclined to think that like all
other fishes the eel partakes much Of the
nature of his surroundings. A long sum-
mer vacation in pond or brook renders
him darker in color, and daily feasting on
landlocked delicacies renders him more
corpulent,
Just so Goldfish take on the color of their
habitat-gray when on muddy bottom,
bright red when living among Helps and
gay colored marine plants. l believe, too,
that the eel often forgets to return TO salt
water, but never breeds elsewhere, for 1

tiles. Some say that half the cells spend

spring, and that the other half 60 up for
the summer.-G. w. Singer in Lewiston

AnnihilatiOn of Time

The utter humiliation of time and space
by electricity was never better illustrated
than by an incident which occurred on the
coast of India, where two English ships,
were repairing telegraph cable near
Bombay The two ships were but half a
mile apart, one of them holding the shore
end of the cable in close communication
with Bombay. the other having tide sea
end, which was connected with Alden.
1t became necessary for the two ships to
communicate with each other in order to
complete their work. This was accom-
pished by one of them telegraphing to
BOMBAY and thence around to Alden, and
the other from Alden around to Bombay
Thus as speedy means of sending mes
sages half mile they were sent around
by route nearly 1000 miles in length

Housewives Drawback to a Big Dinner


No wonder the average housewife de-
tests dishwaShing. If the water is too
cold it requires more work to remove the
grease, and if it is too hot it scalds the
hands, and in any case it is dirty, tedious
piece of drudgery which women perform
simply because it has to be done. Cook
ing meal exercises the reflective and
constructive faculties; it brings its own
reward in merited encomiums, social
gratitude and bcatiiiC digestion. But the
cleansing of dishes is an anti-climaX. 1t is
like the feeling that obtrudes itself on a
person vino has made a successful hit in
hfe-the thought that he must leave this
gay and happy scene and pass into tho
portals of the unknown.
When the ancient Egyptians gave a
sumptuous feast and the social rapture
was at its highest point they had habit
of carrying the mummified remains of
their ancestors through the banqueting
hall to bring the host and guests into a
more sober frame of mind and remind
them that they were mortal. In these lat
ter days we don't practice this grewsome
ceremony, but to the average housewife
who can't afford a servant comes the
knowledge of the inevitable, the under
lying feeling that all the satisfactions and
glories of dinner must end in the prOsaic
rattle of crocllery, removal of grease and
scalding of hands.-Detroit News.

Tho AmtiQuitY of the Kiss.

The mutual kiss of affection OF, passion
by the lips between persons of opposite sex
is generally considered TO be instructive.
Reichenbach sought to explain it on the
theory that the mouth was the focus of his
"od, force" and that these two foci of OPP
posita sexes possessed natural attraction to
each other. The fact that the mutual kiss
between opposite sexes is not general
among the tribes of men is abundantly
shown by the observations of travellers in
the lands where savagery and barbarism
still exist. Where it is now practiced it is
not probably of great antiquity. In some
languages, notably the Japanese, there is
no word for kiss
When, however, the kiss was introduced
to include women it's vogue, like that of
other new inventions, was carried to ex-
cess. According to the chronicle of Winse-
MUS, it was unknown in England until the
Princess Rowena, the daughter of King
Hengist, of Friesland, instructed the insu-
lar Vortigern in the imported salute.
Though the Saxon statistics are not prob
ably exact, it is historical that in England
not many generations ago it would have
been the imperative duty of a visitor to
have kissed all the ladies of the household,
sven without previous acquaintance. 'Such
was the experience of many surprised lit
erary foreigners, notably Erasmus. The
contemporary drama shows the usase to
have lasted into the Georgian era, and it is
to be noticed that the performance was
generally called salute" sometimes "the

Bowel nimon1tr i'm Children.

The following simple suggestions will
avoid nearly, if not all, bowel difficulties
in children, not only in summer, but at all
other times of the year. First, make sure
of pure water, and if you are at all doubt
full about the purity of your supply boil it
well before using. Boil the milk thor
oughly, and have all food properly steril-
lied by cooking. Avoid the use OF green
fruits. Ripe, fresh fruit may be eaten
freely at meals, but at no other time; yet
there are thousands of persons who never
think Of eating fruit except between meals.

1t is great. mistake for the literary as
pirant to imagine that his returned manu-
script has committed any offense, or that
his muse, if he has strided Pegasus, cannot
soar What he must do is to sail forth
with it again and again until it reaches a
favored port, which it will surely do if it
has the requisite merit, somewhere and at
some date. President Lincoln used to say,
when he was trying faithfully and with
great diligence TO place the various able
men who We're presented to him for the
civil service and for the army that it was
a very difficult matter to get the square
pegs in the round holes and the round pegs
in the square ones. And it is just this
difficulty which confronts the writer for
periodicals and magazines. No matter
how experienced he may be he will often
fail before he brings his commodity to the
market which waits for it.
But editors do not wish to be cruel or
hardhearted, however much they may seem
so to the unspurred and unfiedged writer.
The very best and most famous of them
