The Iroquois Colts Making Great
Record.
G. W. Johnson, the colt that cap
tured the Hyde park stakes at Chicago,
is by Iroquois, the American-bred horse
that captured the English Derby. The
raceswas worth $11 900 to the winner.
The first Hyde park stakes was run in
1883, and was won by the Los Angeles
bred colt Verano. Ban Fox won the
race in 1884. Santa Anita then cap
tured the event three years in success
sion with Grisette, Emperor of Norfolk
and Caliente. In 1889 the sensational
E Rio Rey won the race, with Sinaloa
of the Baldwin stable second. In 1890
Balgowan was the winner, and last year
Curt GUM, now known as Locohatchee.

Apropos of the projected fight between
Billy Maber and Jack Dempsey, the
latterwas interviewed at Portland, and
said be had never heard anything about
it; and more particularly, would not
care to fight any man who did not
properly belong in his class. The San
Bernardino Times-Index has this matter
headed Jack Dempsey Will Not Fight
ia cigar merchant, and not pugilist !;
and as Dempsey says that he would not
desire to fight any man outside of his
class, there is no probability that they
will enterthe ring. Mr.. Gunst does not
look like fighter, moreover, and would
rather take hundred girls around the
waist,than one man by the throat. We
do not believe that Dempsey and Gunst
will ever fight.
The colt g. W. johnson, that won the
Hyde park stakes on Saturday at Chi
cago, is ownsbrother to Corrigan's z eat
colt Huron, that ran second to His
Highness for the Futurity of last year.
even if this years Futurity falls to the
get of any other horse but Longfellow or
St. Blaise, IroGuois will head the list of
winning sires, especially if one of his
progeny should,win either the Stockton
and Omnibus stakes at Long Branch or
the Baychester stakes at Morris park.
Great as were the triumphB of Eroquois
on the English turf, he bids fair to
eclipse them in the stud. England
made a mistake when she retained Fox
hall and let Iroauois come bsek to
America.
The s'hearse horse" San Pedro as he
is now called. paced at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and got second money. Capt.
Millen Grifith's road horse, Flying Jib,
was out the same week, driven by
George Starr, and won handily in his
class. He is as fast as Direct, but no
one knows how we'll he will stay, for he
won in a comparatively slow class.
Captain Griffith ia mistaken in saying
he is the fret horse of that name, for a
horse called Flying Jib won the Aus
tralian cup of 1859. He was by War
hawk and full brother to Flying Buck,
first winner af the Champion stskea.

The Druggists

In Lowell, Mass, agree in saying that they sen
more Of Hoods sarsaparilla than Of all other
blood purifiers. For instance:
T. O. GooDALE: sell more of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla than all other blood purifiers.
A. w. Dows & Co.: Hoods takes the lead OF IN
other sarsaparillaa
c. F. BLANCHARD: We sell more of Hoods Sar-
saparilla than of any similar.
MARsToN & SHAW: With us the sale OF Hoods
Is to of any other kind.
F.& e. BAILEY & Co.: Hoods sarsaparilla Ia
one of the best medicines.
CARLTON & HovEy Hoods Sarsaparilla is ono
Of the best medicines we have. It's sale increases
every year.
F. P. Moody: We sen twice as much Of Hoods
Barsaparilla as of anything similar.
G. A. SWAN: Hoods is the most popular sarsa-
parilla of the day.
THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hoods sarsa-
parilla and its proprietors have been known for
many years, could not continue If the medicine
did not possess merit. And these facts should
certainly convince people in other sections OF
the country that Hoods sarsapsrilla is good,
reliable medicine.

A CurIous Isroperty OF water.


Many simple experiments show that
the surface of water possesses a property
which causes it 10 resist the passage of
bodies either from above or below This
is true not only of soapy water, but of
the clearest and purest water as well. A
sheet of fine gauze tends TO float, because
its weight being widely distributed each
of the numerous separate wires is re-
sisted by the surface film 30 that the
water cannot readily pass through the
meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact in
many interesting ways. Some water
plants, whose leaves float on the water,
have very simple contrivance TO keep
the upper surfaces Of the leaves dry.
This consists Of great number Of mi
mute hairs covering the tops OF the
leaves. Water cannot penetrate among
these hairs even when the leaves are
forced down beneath the surface.
The little RATS of eggs that gnats set
ahoat on the water are kept from sink
ing and from being upset through this
same principle. The tiny eggs have
their points all upward, and they are
glued together so closely that, while
there is open space all around the point
Of each egg, yet tho width of these
spaces is so slight that water cannot
readily pass through. You may again
and again upset such an egg raft, but 1t
will right itself every time and the
upper surface will remain dry.-Youth's

PRICE ONE CENT


The Hinaoos distinguish diamonds ac-
cording TO their color. The white rank
hrst and are called ryahmins, the vel
low are known as ,iShatlis, the dusky
as Vaishyas and the hawed stones as
Sudras The diamond dealers are chiefly
Marwarees--a race who are the chief
bankers and money lenders in India.
These men are perfectly acquainted
with the phosphorescent and electric
qualities OF the diamond. and they are
also aware of the extreme uniformity OF
its specific gravity.
A boiling solution of some salt of zinc.
called by the natives "Tutenagum bas-
PAM" which solution has q specific
gravity of 3.5. is used for the weight
test. Into this solution the stones sub
mitted for examination are thrown.
Those that float are rejected as not be-
ing diamonds, the Marwarees knowing
that the diamond has specific gravity
of 8.52.
The stones that sink are then exam
ined. The larger pieces are rubbed with
q silk handkerchief to excite their cleo
trio properties and held near light sub
stances, as small pieces of tissue paper.
Diamonds thus rubbed readily attract
light substances. The phosphorescent
qualities are brought out by exposure OF
the stones to sunlight, and then taking
them into a dark room, where the dia-
monds give of a cleaning light.
Cut stones which have been tested rs
above are then examined by boys es-
pecially trained, who sort them accord
ing TO their color and flaws, and 1t is
very seldom that these youngsters make
a mistake, so sharp are their eyes in de-
tecting flaws and shades Of color. The
appraisement according TO size is finally

at is always red letter day for the

times, but when he comes to cutting ont
the tin and getting it into shape his I'm

ten the beginner is told TO take it home

work if he knew that the real reason
that it was not taken by the foreman
was that it could not be sold.
THE boy will soon find this out when
the foreman keeps him making cups un-

During the last thirty years there
have been many changes in the tin
smiths trade. Machinery has taken the
place of hand labor in the manufacture
Of nearly all utensils, but this has made
no change in the tinsmith's condition.
Organized labor has protected the work
man. The principal machines in the as
sortment shops are presses giving the
general outlines Of manufactured goods,
and lathes, which are used to perfect
the lines of spinning. An important
fact in the trade is the wheeling ma
chine, which gives the bright polish and
puts on the finishing touches. The pol
ishing used to be done by hammers on
an anvil, but the wheeling machine can
do better and more work. During the
