wiz, N, world Falls to Pieces.

The leading English scientists, Jones'
Hilton, ct al, are figuring on the prob
ability Of the earth finally c~ollapsing as
q result OF the modern craze for tapping
natures great gas retorts. They argue
that the earth is a huge balloon held up,
In part at least, by heat and internaf
gases, and that when natures great gas
main is eventually exhausted the earth's
crust may break in and fall into mil
lions of fragments. Ugh! The very
thought OF such o calamity is startling.
They argue that the steady belohing
forth OF millions Of feet OF gas every
hour of the day and night Is surely
causing q great vacuum not far beneath
the surface, and that sooner or later the
thin archWay OF earth-crust will give
way. Then will occur the grand climax
Of all earthly calamitles.

Few people other than those directly
concerned are to-day aware OF the
enormous capital invested in breeding
training and running the thoroughbred.
Occasionally the public sees in the news
papers the mention Of some large price
for a thoroughbred and wonders where
the purchaser will get his money back.
Maud Hampton OF the Dixiana stud,
sold by thai ''prince Of breeders"
Major b. q. Thomas, to j. b. Haggln
for $40, 900, brought her new owner in

four years. This is an example OF VIVA
a good matron will do. The sale OF the
Nursery stud Of the late August Bel
mont attracted more than ever before
the attention of the public to the inter-
ests of racing. His stud brought the
sum Of $500, 500, and the horses in train
ing were sold under very disadvantage
Gus circumstances.
Racing to-day all over the world is in
the most flourishing OF conditions. The
first step toward the purity OF racing
has been taken In the formation OF a
board OF control, every metropolitan
track being represented. This hoard
Of control has licensed trainers as well
as Jockeys and made an effort to do
away with that bugbear of racing men
the entrance of horses without the
fee to pay for such entries. The credit
system has plunged scores OF nomina-
tors into debt, and the stupendous for
felt list shows the weakness, the true
inwardness of the system. All the
owners of the winners of big stakes can
tell what a difference there was i n the
value of the purse as reported in the
papers and the amount they really re-
cetyed.

ploSive Is a greasy substance of brown

The speaker who appears to have been
listened to with the closest attention at
the Women's Congress in Chicago was
Mrs. Kate Upper Galpin, Of California.
She is q "little woman with rolled-back
hair and childish dress" and the audi
ence was at first dlSinclined to take
much notice of her; but before she had
finished her address her auditors, ac-
cording to one account, wondered with
admiring awe what that little woman
with the good voice and the bright face
could not say. No oneNwas tired-of
her."

2:OS% this year, she will be the only
trotter In the world to take a record Of
2:2O or better at 10 years of age. In
fact, there have been but three trotters
in all the vast army that have taken
records below 2:30 that secured their
best records when as old as Maud S. Is
to-day. The fastest Of these was the
19-year-old stallion Indicator, who took
a record Of 2:23% in 1883. The present

HOW TO ENTERTAIN.
Helpful Hints 10 the Young and Incxpe-
rienced Hostess.

Heipfui Hints TO the Young and Incxpc-
rienced Hostess.
One OF the most dreaded duties Of the
average young married woman is that Of
formally entertaining her friends. The
question of how and who is TO her an
unsolved riddle till tho great teacher,
experience. comes TO her aid.
The art of entertaining lies in knowing
how to make people en5oy themselves.
IN the first place the simplest and best
way for every woman To keep up social
intercourse Is 10 have what, in society"
Is called her day at home. This implies
that during the evening and afternoon
she Is at home to receive any OF her
friends who wish to cali upon her. Have
the name of your day written or en-
graved IN one corner OF your visiting
card When the day comes put your
room n order. dress yourself as pTettily
es you can in house dress and lave hot
water ready TO make "a cup OF tea or
chocolate for Your visitors 1t Is pleas
ant. if you can arrange it. TO have a lit
tie tea table in your parlor. with your
cups and saucers. sugar bowl and dish
of cakes or waters. Nothing breaks M
the Formally Of a call like eating and
drinking together.
Then about the small parties people
feel caleb upon to give. Let me advise
never. never TO bring together people
who are strangers TO each other without
giving them slfnething TO do. Aside
from progressive euchrs parties. whist
parties and small dances. there are Oh
servation parties. cobweb parties and a
host Of others. for. you see. the people
usually come from different circles; they
have rever met before and may never
meet again. Conversation ia difficult
under such circumstances. and playing
lively game thaws things cut
Don't, don't derend on music. The
amateur piano soioist is nuisance. Poor
singers ara better tolerated. but 50 much
tine mnst be spent IN urging. for they
have colds or don't sing without notes
and have left t8eir music behind them.
Il you want to give a musicale. that Is
another matter.
