temper, to any other race of general horses
in the known world" Except perhaps In
the matter of trottipg. the main distinc-
tion between the horse IN England-as
typical of Europe (for all Europe now Is
initiating England In matters eauine)- and
the horse in America has lain In the lack
of system In breeding. OF very late years
there has been considerable attention paid
in this country to breeding. and the ad-
mixture of different bloods, which has
produced "nondescripts with which Amer
lea is oserrun," Is being avoided. That
breeds have been kept separate in England
is due to the fact that the raising of horses
has largely been in the hands of great
who raised horses had their intelligence as
well as their stud to profit by; whereas. in
America, until of recent years, breeding
OF all but thoroughbreds was, with few
exceptions, an entirely random affair. A
farmer had a staunch mare. The only
available stallion was in the neighboring
village-perhapso on circuit. All he could
see was that there were good qualities
present in both, and he believed that these
would be transmitted. Race was never
dreamed of. Often the mare was not bred
from until she was untitled for work by
something which equally untitled her for
breeding. No doubt the average produce
of this lack of method may have been of
excellent service In its way, but Ii was
none the less tnondescript." In England
the Thoroughbred or racer, the hunter, the
hackney, the cob, the Galloway, the Shet-
land, the carriage horse, the gigster, the
Suffolk Punch, Clydesdals and othsr cart
horses, the Cleveland bays and black Han
overians have all been kept distinct, and
are regularly bred

MIR, DOBSON,S SpIRIT.

Almost anything might fairly be expect
ed of a man named Dobson, and obliged to
live in Muskegon, Michigan. This Mr..
Dobson is a spiritualist, and he wants to
prove that there is something within him
that will live after the death of his ma
terial body. Hehas procured the construc-
ton of glass cylinder fitted with an ap-
paratus by which 1t can be closed air-tight
quickly and easily. Within the cylinder
there are suspended two pieces of metal
SO thin and light that they can be moved
by the slightest disturbance of air. There
are also fine wires leading from telegraph
instrument inside the cylinder to an elec-
tric battery outside. Mr.. Dobson is dying
of consumption. He proposes, when In
the last stages of the disease, to enter the
cylinder, and has made an arrangement with
his friends to have it hermetically sealed
when he is ON the point of drawing his last
breath. The object is to imprison his
spirit SO that after leaving the BODY y
cannot depart for unknown regions. He
hopes that the Invisible and immaterial
OuG tlthl auu COusclOus poIoAo1 u AiAA
will be able to demonstrate that 1t is In
the glass cylinder by moving the sus-
pended pieces of metal and by operating
the instrument. The friends are pledged
to unseal the cylinder after thlee days and
permit the spirit to escape.
Mr.. Dobson is probably a sincere spirit
ualist, but he does not appear to be a
very thoughtful one. After what ne has
seen of the performances of spirits he
4 ought to know that glass cylinder
wouldn't confine spirit, and he ought to
be able to see that his whole experiment
is based on the idea that spirit Ii
material. 1t is not probable that any con
elusive evidence concerning life after
death is about to come out of Muskegon.

UNRELIABLE EYES.
It is we'll known that 1t Is dangerous to
believe half what one hears, but most peo-
pie continue to trust their own eyesight.
There is evidence, however, that even this
is not safe. For instance, last fall q bur-
glar entered t7,e residsnce of DR.. Judge on
Columbus avenue, Boston, He was met
and knocked down by the doctor, was
driven to the basement, was there con-
fronted by the man and woman who occu-
pied that part of the house, and from there
fually escaped through q basement win
dow. A negro named Stephen Hall was
arrested for the crime, tried, positively
identified by the various witnesses as the
burglar whom they saw, convicted, and
sentenced to ton years In State prison.
Since that time the district attorney who
prosecuted the case hasl secured absolute
proof that Hall was not the burglar but
that another man, now serving term in
prison for another offense, was. Accord
ingly lie demanded a new trial for Hall
and has now secured his acquittal and re-
lease.
Such incidents as this are confusing.
They show that it is possible to be mistak-
en- when there is apparently no such pos
sibi1ity. Probably some people have gone
to the gallows on account of such mistakes,
and good many have also escaped going
to the gallows on account of them. If
people can't think straight, hear straight
or see straight, it behooves them to be
careful about being certain.

FEATs OF STRENGTH.
Remarkable Stories OF the Prowess of
the Grand Canarians.


After the Spanish occupation of the
Grand Canary certain enormous stone
was for q long time pointed out as one of
the instruments Of the Gsunche athletic
courses. The natives had besn able to lift
1t, set 1t on their shoulders, and even throw
1t over their heads. Their degenerate pos
tsrity and the Spaniards could not raise 1t
from the ground. Tradition has immor-
talized one Adargoms of Grand Canary,
who could wrestle for two consecutive
hours, and having been thrown under
most in a certain contest got his antagon-
ist between his legs and arms and squeezed
him so that his bones began to crack. The
native was subsequently sent as a prisoner
to Spain, where he sstonished the people
by his performances.
One day, in Seville, he was visited by a
brawny youth of La Mancha, who was
anxious to try bout with him. ttMy
good friend, said Adargoms, .'as we are
going to wrestle together 1t is only reason
able that we should begin by drinking
something" A large bowl of wine having
been brought, took this in one hand and
continued to address the challenger: eff
with both your arms you can overpower
one of mine, SO as to hinder me from drink
ing every drop of this wine We will try our
strength together. If not You may return
to your home" The struggle took place,
and Adargema by degrees drained the bowl
| in the coolest manner without spilling a
drop of the wine. His one hand was more
than match for the two.

Roman Catholic Bishop Stanley DOESN'T
think much of prohibition as 1t exists in
North Dakota. He says 1t sis doing incsl-
culable harm to the State and many of
the people," and adds: Wholesale liquor
dealers have informed me that their sales
in. this State are nearly three times greater
now than formerly. Railroad and express
men bear testimony to the truth of the
liquor dealers statements; commercial
travellers tell the same story. Hotel men
who have no "blind pig" annex scarcely
know what to do with the empty whisky
bottles left in the rooms by guests. Farm
ers who formerly took drink or two
when in town now keep a jug or Ave-
gallon keg at home and tipple all the time.
While carefully pertaining from approv-
Ing or disapproving of prohibition as
theory, assert that prohibition is fat
failure in North Dakota If the people
want prohibition, let them insist upon its
enforcement; if they do not want 1t, let
them have the courage to say so and do
away with it, and In its place give us some
means of regulating the traffic.

Strenuous efforts have been made to
make 1t appear that all was smooth and
lovely at the great Mugwump banquet in
New York, that no discourtesy was shown
anybody, that nobody was disappointed,

wump. But 1t won't do, as Colonel Bob
Is fond of saying. The truth is: ..
There's q speech that was not spoken,
There's harmony that's broken,
There's just another Mugwump snub given,
that is all.
But there's memory that is living
