Too Much.

Mrs. Laverty, an Irish lady, who lived
thirty miles from the American Rich
mond, was in the provident habit of
laying in a store of groceries to last an
entire quarter, since she could not repair
to Richmond oftener than four times a
year. On one of these provisioning ex-
petitions she laid in store of matches
a disastrous investment, since not a
match would strike Wild was her fury,
which was kept alight and aglow by her
recurring daily trouble to get her fire
ahght and aglow without match. Her
wrath, thus kept at boiling point for
three months, gave the storekeeper a
hot quarter of an hour, when she burst at
last into his store and Numbered down
the parcel of matchboxes upon the
counter. Having waited with defer
entail patience until the storm had spent
itself, he said suayely, "Allow me,
madam"
Taking a matchbox from the parcel
and match from the box, he struck it,
after the manner of men, upon his trous.

with which the shop WINDOWS nave peen
filled, how many of them are even toler-
able in design?
1t is always easier to find fault than
to find out remedy, and it is undoubt-
eddy true that in the present case the
matter is largely the result of the in
crease of material prosperity among
those classes where neither taste nor In
telligence has had time to be developed.
The markets are controlled to great
extent by the new rich, and it is not un-
natural that the impress of their vulgar
ity should be left in broad mark upon
the arts of the time. 1t is no less true
abroad, however, than it is in this coun-
try that the designers have apparently
degenerated, and the explanation given
does not SO well apply abroad as in this
country.
No doubt the taste of the world is
being educated, but the problem today
is to educate the taste of the many in
stead of the taste of the few, and it is
far more difficult than any which has
ever been presented to the devotees of
the aesthetic in the history of civilization
before. Courier.

be done the disease yields much more

that if a sick man knows something as to
the nature of that portion of his anatomy

execution of mechanical means which
would be tolerable only when directed
by the most delicate and sympathetic
taste is made the more detestable by the
scasse and forced manner in which it is
used When the designer goes to the
past to purloin design, if he wishes to
hit the popular taste he selects some ro-

The lights make the track not quite
as day, but still clear enough to see the
rigs speeding around as whole with
out being able to distinguish the colors.
At the three-qu arter stretch the horses
faded slightly into the darkness, but In
most other places the eye could well fol-

quite distance was particularly well
lighted, and afforded splendid view.
The horses were called up shortly before
eight o'clock in two unfinished races
of the afternoon, after which the regu-
lar races scheduled for evening took
place. The bell first rang up on the
2:4O trot, best two in three. There
were four entries, and q new horse by
the name of Peerwood was entered.
In the FIRST heat the horses kept well
together until the quarter stretch,
when they became somewhat scattered,
but closed in on the half-mile. making
the heat more exciting. Andy Swee-

horse won the next heat, and then
dropped the Iaurels to Hideway. The
