The Feather Brush Among the Chinese

One of the commonest objects in Chinese
houses is the feather brush. This hardly
ornamental article has a history-an
ancestry-which imparts peculiar value
to it to the Chinese mind. There was a
time when the feather brush had not been
put to the base use of imperfectly busting
furniture. 1t bore an honorable part in
the ancient chivalry Of the country, being
a recognized standard for the mastering of
soldiers to battle.
An allusion is made to it in the writings
of Chuang-Tzu, an ancient historian, who
tells us that when the great mill airy leader
Sun, standing on an eminence which over
looked the plain, waved on high his plume
of feathers, the men of the state of Ting
rushed with one accord into the field in
battle array.
There is something strange in the fact of
this honorable Instruments having been
degraded from the battlefield to the bou-
doir, but the poets Of China view the mat
ter in quite different way. 1t appears
that certain empress first laid her fair
hand upon this ancient emblem of war
and appropriated it for her own use re-
ceiving much praise at the time from the
court versemakers.
But aside from all poetic sentiment, the
fact seems to be that the empress wanted
something to switch away the insects
which infested her apartments. Then it
became a fashionable article of use and or
nament. and lively trade in the feather
brush sprang up, fostered by the govern
ment. 1t was made generally of actual
feathers and was used for busting furni-
re.-EXchange.

Hostile Colors.

During the siege of Paris the national
guards were constantly on the lookout for
German spies In fact, Frenchman of
that time was apt to see spy and an enc

did not know. General Trochu himself
was once arrested on suspicion. Cham,
the caricaturist: Tissandier. the aeronaut,

were arrested and had to account for them
selves.
One night the Prussian colors were
shown from the attic of a house in the Rue
Lafayette. SO ut least thought the ever

DOWN HILL ALL THE WAY.

The mile in :l2 at kirkwood, Del. by
Belle Hamin and Globe, was most
creditable performance, but will it be ac-
cepted as a record? The Kirkwood
track, as is quite well known, is down.
hill-all-the-way affair, and when there
was talk that such track would be built
at Sedalia, Mo-, last spring, nearly all
the turf journals agreed that time made
over such track would not be entitled
to rank as a record. and so much was
written on the subject that the Missouri
people abandoned the down-hill idea and
that the team record has been beaten
over down-hill track, the turfmen will
want the question settled as to whether
G mile made on a track that is four feet
lower at its finish than at its starting
point is entitled to rank as highly as one
made over track that is level. If it is
decided that it Is, then there will be
many tracks built on the same plan, and
the fall will be more than four feet to the
mile in most of them. While there may
be few that will speak favorably of the
down-hill track, the writer believes that
the majority of horsemen will agree with
him in the belief that such tracks are
derogatory to the best interests of the
turf, as their only purpose is to place
an artificial value on speed alone, with
out regard to the qualities necessary in
the trotter to enable him to become a
winning campaigner. \ record
against time under any conditions is not
equal to one made in a contested race,
and instead of making tracks on which
the difference in two kinds of records
will be still greater, the conditions under
which time-record can be made should
be more closely drawn if possible than
at present. A down-hill track may pos
sibly be constructed over which some
horses might be able to trot in two min
utes, but such performance will not
demonstrate an Improvement in the speed
qualities Of our horses until the same
horse should demonstrate his ability to
do the same thing on level track, where
he would have to pull the weight of his
driver ["RAYMOND" in Horse World.

TROTTlNG STATISTICS.

TO the ordinary student of trotting
statistics their correct compilation may
seem simple matter of bookkeeping and
absolute correctness easily attainable.
He may marvel at the unquestionable
truth that ? 80 list has never yet been
compiled, and may not be ready to
accept the probability that an absolutely
correct one never will be compiled. But
the record-book keepers know all this to
be true. With the exception of the
Year Book we have never seen trot-
ing compilation whose errors were so
numerous as to create amazement, the
average compilations being, consider
ing the difficulties met, remarkably ac-
curate.
The information from which these
tables are compiled is CLEANED from so
many different sources, and so many
different and differing people, some of
whom are careless. some dishonest and
more of whom ''mean well, but don't
know" that to reach correctness in every
minute detail of trotting table is prac-
tically impossible. The particulars about
every performer are known to some man,
the particulars about large numbers of
performers are known to few men, but
let the man who knows the particulars
about more trotters than any other in
the world undertake the compilation Of
complete table and he will find that the
horses for information concerning which
he must depend upon outside information
outnumber ten to one those of which he
has personal knowledge.
The sources of transformation are
many. Men will retail hearsay, and even
Imagination, concerning pedigrees for
fact; what one man calls bay horse
another calls brown; what one calls a
brown another will swear is black ;
roam is sometimes called gray; sex is
very commonly COMPOUNDED, and the
multiplicity of common names, such as
Franks, Jims, Nellies, Ladies', FlOras,
Johns, Kings and Princesses, renders in
Identification in many cases extremely
difficult.
But the great bulk of errors and mis-
Information that creeps into trotting sta
tistics are traceable to the carelessness
or worse OF trotting secretaries-and
daily reporters. The reporters are nee
essarily dependent mainly upon the sec
retarles for information, and as rule
the country secretary knows nothing,
and cares less-though in this he violates
the rules of the association-about the
breeding of his entries. He prints only
the names on the programme or score
sheet, and the daily reporter, who as a
rule on race-track does not know
hawk from hand-saw, publishes the
names of the contestants barren of color,
sex or breeding. This matter the trot-

How and when men first learned to make
hay will probably never be known. For
haymaking is process" and the product
is not simply sun dried grass, but grass
which has been partially fermented, and
is as much the work Of mems hands as
-four or cider. Probably its discovery was
due to accident, but possibly man learned
it from the pikas, the calling hares" of
steppes, which cut and stack hay for the
winter. That idea would fit in nicely with
the theory that central Asia was the "home
of the Aryan race" if we were still al
lowed to believe it, and haymaking is GER
tainly an art mainly practiced in cold
countries for winter forage. Probably
there are no meadows in the world so good
as those in England or so old. Yet from
the early Anglo-SaXon times old meadow
has been distinguished from pastures"
and has always been scarce.
Two-thirds of what is now established
meadow land still shows the marks of
ridge and fulrow, and from the great time
required to make a meadow-ten years at
least on the best land. 100 years on the
worst men have always been reluctant TO
break up old pasture. The ancient mead
ows, with their great trees and close, rich
turf, are the sole portion of the earth's
surface which modern agriculture respects
and leaves in peace. Hence the excellence

The keyboard arrangement is similar to
that of most well known machines and
may be operated by any person capable of
operating the ordinary typewriter. When
the book or sheet written upon is to be re-
moved from the machine the keyboard and
mechanism are lifted and hooked on the
upper rod. thus differing from an ordinary
typewriter from the fact that the keyboard
lifts instead of the carriage.
This machine seems to be particularly
adapted for use in offices where records are

less than three feet in diameter, and are
like the wooden pneumatic-tire bicycle
wheel in use now. They have the regu-
lalion heavy rubber tires which are used
on safety bicycles, and are inflated in the
same manner through an ordinary inilat-
ing tube, with nut.
The wheel is so perfectly balanced that
when this tube, with nut in place and tire
expanded, is at top of wheel very slight
touch of finger will set the wheel In
motion, and the weight of the nut will
carry it past the balance point for fifty
or more revolutions. The ball-bearing
device is old, aud the patent has expired,
but we are informed the pneumatic-tire
patent is still in force. Charles Cafirey
of Philadelphia has made arrangements
to build the new sulky, so that lirst-class
sulkies of this pattern will be obtainable.
The present pattern of pneumatic-tire
suky is not beautiful to the eye. In fact,
it looks like two.wheel drosky, resem-
bling in a measure the Russian article
shown on our tracks some years since,
save that il has two instead of four
wheels. The resemblance comes from
the low wheels alone, as in no other par
ticular is there any similarity. Colonel
William Edwards remarked at Cleveland
the other day. az those dioskys were
spinning round the track. that he did not
fancy their uncouth appearance, was sor-
ry they were coming in fashion, and they
seemed as a farm wagon to Brewster
buggy in point of graceful outline. One
thing can be safely predicted, viz, that
they will be a great boon to drivers.
There is no doubt IN the minds of prac-
tical and experienced borsemen that the
lives of John Murphy. James Goldsmith
and other noted drivers were shortened
materially by riding the regulation rigid
sulky. The new device not only runs
lighter, but it is almost impossible to up
set it, and IN collision with other sulkies
1t has shown itself the victor without re-
ceiving any injury whatever.
At Cleveland many orders were given
and some of them regardless of cost, bu
with Injunction to perfect the vehicle. /
is to be expected that great improvements
in the pneumatic-tire sulky will be devel
oped for some years. AS now made thu
ordinary sulkv is used arm and all, ant
the only change is the frame going dow
from arm of axle to and both sides of thu
low wheels with braces thereto. New
York trainers and drivers are awaiting
their arrival further East to Judge TO
themselves, the average Gotham traine
not rushing into new things until he ha
seen them for himself and tried them

show that the following horses won thei
