How an Old Phrase Originated.

The phrase THAT beats bobtail," is
not uncommon even now in many parts
of the country, especially in the south.
Its origin is traceable to race which
occurred about 1840 or shortly before
that year ON the famous Fairfield track
on the Mechanicsville turnpike, near
Richmond. In those days Bob Poin-
dexter lived in Richmond. He was a
sporting man, wore fine clothes and
owned mum Der of horses. Among his
animals was one he named Pizarro, a
plain bay gelding, with black name and
tail, the latter bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary about
the horse, and nobody looked upon him
IS racer. But Poindexter took no.
ton that he could run. He used to
drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched
to a buggy. On the day that he was ad-
vertised to appear on the track a great
crowd was present and excitement ran
high, for good deal of money had been
put on the other horses. To the aston
ishment of everybody Pizarro beat every
horse on the track, and the people went
fairly wild.
Bobtailed PiZarro never made much
of record. He won two or three races,
and then went to pieces. For years
afterward, when anything extraordinary
happened in that section it was said of
it, THAT beats bobtail. Baltimore

Mis- Edith Emily Read has just beaten
the record in Girton girls. She is now

climax of d singularly successful career.

Girton; prizes of twenty pounds each
from Goldsmiths and Clothworkers'
companies in recognition of her wran-
glership.

lady who ever took first class honors in
two 'triposes. One of her principal tu-
tors at the North London Collegiate

An Opening for Inventors.

An engineer has written to one of the
dsilies to advocate the disoxygenation
Of glass. He argues that since steel is
made by disoxygenating molten cast
iron by blowing air through it, by pro-
cess reversely analogous glass can be
softened into toughness and fexibility.
He maintains that glass, which is not
emily much cheaper than iron, but much
asnser and tougher, can be put to any
Of the uses Of iron excepting electrical
eonduction, while for drain pipes and
water pipes it would be unequaled.
The champion Of disoxygenated glass
maintains that it could be used instead
Il tin and copper, and would replace
iron for rigging and fencing, etc., as it
possesses almost three times the tensile
strength of the best wrought iron; fur
thsrmore, he regards it as not improba.
BILE that vessels built of glass beams and
plates will eventually replace our pres
snt steel ships, as they would be strong
or, cheaper and one-half lighter. Pitts

An rnterestlng Phenomenon.

An amusing story is told III connection
with Professor Henry, OF the Sinithso-
MAN institution, who died some fourteen
wears ago. 1t is told by gentleman
who once travelled from Montreal to Bos-
ton with the professor. He says that
while they were waiting for "a steamer
the professor was talkative and commu-
NEGATIVE in his quiet way, and was full
of incidents OF travel and adventure.
Soon the steamer appeared in sight,
and while she was approaching us the
professor sat upon the wharf, looking
dreamily at her. Presently he aroused
himself and said
81 see peculiar sparkle of the waves
near the side of the steamer, where the
sun shines upon her." ct was almost
sunset.) 81 wonder what the cause of il
is? l have seen phosporescent light be-
fore, but never exactly like this. And
see, there it is also upon the other, the
darker side of the steamer. Well, GER
tainly that is very curious"
We all looked. Indeed it did seem
remarkable. First upon the bright side
of the steamer and then upon the dark
side would appear these curious flashes
of light and disappear almost instantly.
They seemed to come at regular inter
walls, and it was strange and beautiful
sight.
Our reveries were presently disturbed
by the approach of one of the customs
inspectors. He glanced at US with some
curiosity and then said, ''Lookin at
them hashes?"
EYES," replied the professor, rousing
himself from his absorbed meditation OF
the phenomenon; II wonder what they
are"
"Oh," said the inspector carelessly,
"them's hot ashes they're THROWN out
of the ash pits"
The professor was nonplused for a
moment Then he recovered his senses
and said quietly, "Well, well, live and
learn-live and learn!' and lapsed into
silence. Youth's Companion.

Queer Food.

The hedgehog figures frequently in
sylvan repasts, though he is hardly big
enough to bo sent to table as piece de
resistance. The primitive manner OF
cooking it supersedes the most costly re-
fnements of elaborate batteries de cui-
sine. The elephants foot, or rather the
slice below the pastern, which is a IA
nous dainty in eastern hunting CAMPS.
is treated on precisely similar principles,
which shows that the simplest cookery
of all nations has much in common, like
their folklore.
Shakespeare's British hedgepig, like
its cousin, the porcupine, is shrouded in
a plastic tenement of clay. Then he is
laid to temporary rest i'll bed Of sinol-
dering cinders. When supposed to be
done to a turn, the dwarf pig is dug up,
and then the prickly skin is detached
with the splitting of the case of clay.
All the generous juices, with their bou-
quet, have been confined and transfused.

eplots" Are Very Scarce.


James Payn recently told this anec-
dote to illustrate the difficulty of secur-
ing good plots:
''Trollope was at one time almost
alone in not seeing the necessity of havr
ing any story in his books. Wilkie
Collins once said to him, Your fertility
my dear fellow, amazes me; where do
you get-they are not much, but still
you have to find them-your plots fromY
well, my good sir, to tell you the truth,
from you. A very little bit of one of
your plots-and, you see, you never miss
it--does for me-
''The fact is, a good plot is a difficult
thing to get. A very clever acquaint-
ance of mine, divine who had distin.
guished himself in literature, once con-
troverted this. He said he had himself
quite talent for plots, only, being in
the theological line, they were of no use
to him. Well said, little irritated,

knew the cloth, and the shaft went

me, if it is only in ten lines, I'll give you
ten pounds After awhile-not the next
day, as he had led me to expect--he sent
me a dozen. L didn't find it quite sc
easy as l thought he admitted in his
letter, but hero they are
''Six were as old as the hills and the
other six not worth a farthing. l have
had hundreds of plots-or the hint of
them, which is all that is required

career but only two good ones, and one

Church Chimes Are Common.

Within the last sixteen years only two
new chimes have been put up in this
city-those of st. Michael's church and
those of st. Andrews. In 1876 there
were three chimes-those of Trinity,
Grace church and st. Thomas. At that
time writer in one of the prominent
magazines expressed surprise that there
should be ga chime away off in Eureka,
Cal, three sets in Troy, N. Y, one in
Hartford, one in Birmingham, Conn,
and one in Savannah"
There are many chimes now "away
off in California" and all the large cities
have them. That there are only five
full chimes in New York is good evi.
dence that only five churches care fol
them, for good set can be bought for
less than $4,000, and dollars are not
scarce in the New York hurches.-New

The Bows Idea of IT.

1t seemed as if the visitor never would
go away. She had been there month
or more and gave no signs of departure.
One day the small boy of the house was
looking at her very intently at the table.
"What is it, Johnny" she inquired
graciously, as do those who are receiv-
ing undeserved benefactions.
"Ain't no part Of your head gone, is
there?" he asked.
"Of course not. Why do you ask such
queer question:"
"'Cause heard mamma say you were
eatin your head off, and wanted to see
il there was any marks of it."-Detroit
