Special Correspondence of THE SUNDAY CALL

The man who attempts to give sure tip
on the Suburban is either foolish or counts
upon finding others so. Fifteen thousand
dollars is a good deal of money, and nearly
every important stable in the country is
represented in the preliminary entries, and
every horse that actually starts will be
ridden to win if possible. With such
field it isn't worth while to listen to the en-
thusiast who asserts that some short horse
is going to ''win in walk" or that favor
lie is "stale." He doesn't know anything
about it. Look at the horses.

three weeks after the arrests just mentioned

the young ladies of the party. After
three months residence he suddenly

two young girls were arrested as they

where she lay for many months. Without
any form of trial whatever she was exiied to
Siberia with hard labor for fifteen years.
Another Noted woman who stands high in
the ranks Ct the Nihilists is Eugenia Subotin,
who fearlessly acted the part of a spy in the
interest of her party; and finally succeeded
in securing from leading official all of the
immediate plans Of General lgnatieff for
the overthrow Of nihilism. There were the
SObntens sisters, Eugenia and Maria. Both
were instrumental in distributing incendl-
airy literature throughout ST. Petersburg
and Moscow, and both were sent to Siberia.
They belong TO one of the oldest Russian
families and were noted for their beauty
and Intelligence.
The schools and colleges in Russia are
unlike those of other countries, in that they
are vertable hot beds of intrigue. One
reason Of this is tat the rules governing
these institutions are of the most arbitrary
description. and youth naturally rebels
against the hand Of oppression. a number
of students cOnversing together is enough to
arouse suspicion, and they are quickly made

Consequently, if we want to be sure OF
the chrOmatc effect of a decorative scheme
we must arrange and modify its elements
in such a way as to adapt it to the usual il
Illumination OF the apartments in which it is
to be carried cut. And here one curious re-
suit may be noted.
In very dimly lighted room saturated
and comparatively pure colors may yield
delicate and refined harmonieS, while the
same cOlors in blaze of strong daylight or
direct sunshine may also lose their sarsh-
ness because of the large amount of white
light which then becomes mingled with the
proper hueS they reflect. But with a
medium illumination these saturated colOrs,
if freely used, become intOlerable, just be-
cause they are perceived in their original
strength. We thus learn, says a con-
temporary, how it is that a scheme
of col0ring which seems exquiS-
itely choice when occurring in the
dimly lighted apartments of a Cairo or
Damascus house may become to the last
degree crude when transferred TO the full
illumination of an English or American
home, where the walls are pierced with
large windows of plate glass admitting
floods of light The employment under
such altered conditions of colors saddened
with black and dulled with gray has been
long recognized and practiced as one of the
easiest ways of modifying the crude effect
of snch ehrOmatic arrangements. Ii Satur-
ated colors are still used we reduce their
area. or employ them in such small and in
volved touches that the ming!ing of their
hueS produces what Owen Jones called a
neutralized hlOom.-From the American
Carpet and Upholstery Trade Philadelphia).
