ON THE WAY.

Clifton, Linden and Elizabeth, until the
closing of these tracks brought her to Gut
tenburg. Then, day after day, she jour
neyed thither up the winding road, over
the hill, seated in a rickety omnibus, and
enveloped in a cloud of smoke from the ci-
CARS of the male passengers, for nothing
dismays the regular"
OF course she transfers her attentions to
the bigger tracks when the summer racing
begins, and she was present numerously
at the Brooklyn Handicap. She wears on
her face look Of grim determination, and
the air of absolute Indifference to her sur
roundings. Men may stare at her, but the
regular" is not in the least disturbed by
this fact, for she is perfectly capable of
holding her own, as she elbows her way
through the crowd and scrambles for
seat, unmindful of the lack of chivalry
that characterizes the racegoing public.
Once ensconced, her face assumes graft
fed expression as she proceeds to peruse
her programme. No matter how inciem-
ent the weather the regular" is always
on hand. She is a martyr to the cause, and
would suffer any inconvenience rather than
forego the sport.
In addition to the regular" there are
various other types-the woman who goes

The BOTTLE Chart

In lS43 chart of bottle voyages in the
Atlantic was constructed by Lieutenant
Beecher, an English naval officer, with the
idea that by such means the determination
of currents might be illustrated The
time which elapses between the launching
OF the bottle from the ship and the finding
OF 1t on shore, or the picking of it up by
some other ship, has varied from a few
days TO sixteen years, while the straight
line distance between the two points has
varied from a few miles TO 5000 miles. The
chart Is marked by several hundred straight
lines, each drawn from the latitude and
longitude OF immersion 10 the latitude aud
longitude of the finding.

The Longevity of Animals.

What is the maximum longevity of ami
mails? La Nature replies TO the oft re-
peated query as follows:
1t has been found that the, herbivores,
Especially those that are compelled to
work, are generally longer lived than the
rarnivores. Thus, an ass died few years
ago at Cromarty at the age of los years.
1t had belonged to the same family since
5779. We have a record of several horses
that reached the age of 20, so or more
years. A towhorse died at Washington
at the age of 62 years. Another horse died
at New York aged IS years, and had worked
up to nearly its last moment. At Phila-
delphia there was mule that reached the
respectable age of A. years. Another mule,
aged between 40 and IS years, is still work
ing at place near San Francisco A eve,
born at kalinowitz in 1929, remained fer

carnivores, a Spanish slut recently died in

Occasionally there arises a wall from
some infant whose gaming procliviIieS
are not as fully developed as those OF
its mother. The crowd oscillates to and
fro. Between the betting ring and the
lawn there is a constantly shifting sea of
people. Here are clerks, bankers, rowdies,
clubmen, artists and reporters. Finally
comes the tide of departure. Men and
women push and elbow each other good
naturedly, for racing crowd is always
more or less merry. One may detect few
disappointed faces, but the majority ap-
pear satisfied The train moves out slow
ly, laden with human freight. Nine-tenths
of the passengers are without seats, and as
the coaches swing around the curves this
standing committee compares notes and
exchanges opinions. There exists a uni
versal bond of good fellowship for the time
being. 1t may be the ozone one breathes
In at the track. At any rate the lines of
care and anxiety on the various faces dis
appear. The winners are hilarious and the
losers philosophical, while the regular" is
satisfied there has been fair play, for she

The Banda isles are almost covered with
nutmeg trees, To prepare the seeds for
use they are dried in moderate heat for
about two months. Then the shells are
broken and the nutmegs are picked out
and assorted, the inferior ones being re,

oil of nutmeg brings a high price, dishon-

They are then coated with lime and sent

A FAMILY FEUD.
One Dead, One Dying and Six Under Ar

One Dead, One Dying and Six Under Ar
rest for Murder.
MIDDLEsBoRo, KY, Oct. 30. - Fol-
years past there has been deadly feud
going on among the family of Partins
who reside at the headwaters of Big
Clay creek, about sixteen miles north
west Of this city, which has eliminated
in the violent death of one and perhaps
two of them. Late Monday night Sheriff
John G. Colson and posse returned tc
the county seat, Pineville, having cap,
tured Flep, Bill, Columbus, Cyrus, Jack
and Robert Partin, who are accused OF
the murder of John Partin, about ten
days since. One month ago John Partin
shot Avis Partin in drunken row.
Bill Partin and others were sent out to
capture John Partin for this shooting,
when, it is claimed, they shot him down
without giving him a chance to surren-
der, and it was for this murder that the
sheriff and deputies captured these men
Avis Partin, the man first shot, is not
expected to live. These men are des.
peradoes of the worst type, and they
live in one of the toughest sections of
these mountains.
