The Antiquity of the Arabian Horse.
How far back do the pedigrees run
and what is the origin of the Arabian
horse? These questions it is impossible
to answer definitely. The Bedouins
themselves believe that Allah created
the equine genus on their soil. 1.-THE
root or spring of the horse is" they say,
sin the land of Arab" This pious
belief is shared by Il few generous souls
in England and America, small but
devoted band, who gallantly defend the
cause of the Arabian horse against his
only rival, the modern English thorough
bred. Chief among these faithful was
the late Major R. D. Upton, who visited
the desert himself and who has recorded
his experience and his views.
Major Upton concluded that the horse
was found in Arabia mot later than
about 100 years after the deluge, if in
deed he did not find his way there i'm
mediately after the exodus from the ark,
which is by no means improbable" and
this probability the author then proceeds
seriously to consider. According to Ma
jor Upton and a few kindred spirits all
other breeds are mongrels, and the only
way to procure horsefesh in it's best and
purest form is to go back to the fountain
head-to the horse of the desert.-Atlan-
tic Monthly.

Needed the Hardest.

A young dentist who opened an Office
on Jefferson avenue finds good many
discouragements. His first patient was
thin young man who wore no waist
coat, and triced up his person with a
pink and yellow belt.
There was a profitable hour or two in
the chair, during which the young den
tist told his funniest stories as he filed
and chiseled and buzzed. At length, in
stead of filling up the biggest cavities
with gold and charging ten dollars
apiece, the conscientious beginner said:
''Shall put in soft filling, sirY'
II board" replied the exhausted oc-
cupant of the chair briefly.
"Beg pardon said the dentist doubt
fully. 81 asked you about soft filing"
Thunder and lightning, shouted the
patient, sitting up in the chair and pull
ing his mouth into shape; 81 tell you
live in boarding house, and if you've
got any ground glass, amalgam or rolled
steel caps use 'em. Soft filling, you
crazy coot; do l look like suicide?"

A Petrifed Corpse.

At Hazlewood cemetery, near Monte
yuma, Ia, one day last week, Charles
Block, wishing to remove the remains
Of his wife, who died eight years ago,
opened her grave. He found it full of
water and was astonished at the weight
of the coffin. The combined strength of
five men finally brought the coffin out of
the grave, and when opened it was
found that the action of the water had
turned the body to solid stone, preserv-
ing its natural appearance to remark
able degree. Even bouquet of flowers
held by the dead woman was perfectly
petrified. The skin was fair and the
hair as black and glossy as in life

TERRE HAuTE, Ind, Sept. 28.-Six
thousand people Witnessed the record
breakino sverta at today's races. Nancy
Hanks was driven to beat her rccord on
q regulation track, OF 2:07. At o'clock,
after preliminary slow jogs, she ap-
peared with Budd Doble up, accom-
panied by Frank Starr behind the rum
ner, Abe Lincoln. The weather was
fair, with light breeze stirring. Walker
gave the word, and the mare started at
full speed. The first quarter was made
in 81, as steady as clock. Up the back
stretch there was no perceptible change,
though the second quarter was slower,
the half being made in 1:022. That
was
A RECORD BREAKING SPEED
for circular track, but the sensation
was to come. Along to the third quar-
ter the peerless mare came at clip
that made the earlier part Of the mile
seem slow, taking only 291a seconds to
cover the distance. Starter Walker re-
Queeted every body to keep still until
she finished, but he had hardly finished
speaking when her nose was even with
the wire, and the watches stopped al
2:04 fiat. Everybody knew that all the
records were swept to the winds, and
the yell that went up was terrific. When
President Ijams got chance to speak,
he said the feat just acco mplished was
beyond what had ever been done before
in harness; the kite track was not in it.
The third quarter was done in :58
clip.
MoNBARs GOES IN 2:11A.
Scarcely was this sensation over when
George Starr sent Monbars to beat his
record of 2:l424, made at Columbus last
Saturday. He was in great form and
lowered the record for 3-year.old stall
lions previously held by Axtell, by trot-
ting mile in 2:ll2z. His fractional
time was 33A, 1:07Z, 1:39A, the last
quarter being done in 80 seconds.
