starter Rowe's Lecture.


Thirty thousand pairs of eyes were
glued on the proudly stepping thorough
breds as they lined up for the start.
Hume broke head OF his field and spoiled
what would have been a good start at the
first attempt. Piokpocket's testiness was
responsible for some further delay. After
several futile attempts 10 get them in line

his box and gave the jockeys q good rat
ing At the next break LamplighteF,
Pickpocket and Judge Morrow came to
the head of the stretch without the
others. Finally, at 4:l9 o'clock. the
horses got the flag TO an almost perfect
start. Judge Morrow, Leonawell, Terri
fer and Fidelio were little in the lead,
with Lamplighter. Charade, Pickpocket
Hume and Mars in bunch in
the rear. Terrifer, true TO the
Daily tactics shot TO the front and set
clinking pace past the stand and into the
back stretch. Here Lenonawell. who had
been struggling for his head, passed Terri
fer and took lead OF two lengths. The
race all through the back stretch was an
exceedingly pretty one. All of the horses
were running well together and within
striking distance of the leader. At the far
turn Leonawell slightly increased his lead
and shout went up from his admirers.
Their JOY was short lived, however. for
turning into the home stretch Diabln.
Lamplighter, Judge Morrow and Hume
moved up and joined the leader.
An Exciting Finish.
A desperate and highly exciting drive
ensued, the horses running almost head
and head all through the stretch. Less

Diablo began to draw out, and soon getting
clear Of the wire, won a grand race by q
length and half. Lamplighter beat the

The Grizzly in Winter.

In most places the grizzly hiber-
mates, Or. as old hunters say, ..holes
up during the cold season, precisely
as does the black bear, but insteadof
a hollow tree or log for his winter
sleep he chooses a cavernous hole in
the ground. The hole is sometimes
in a slight hillock in a river bottom,
but more often on a hillside, and
may be either shallow or deep. In
the mountains it is usually a natural
cave in the rock, but among the foot
hills the bear usually has to take to
some hollow or opening, fashioning
it into a burrow with his big digging
claws. He is cunning in the selcc-
tion, and is seldom discovered in his
winter den. Once settled thare he

Remarkably Thin sheets of Iron

Among the novelties introduced on
the continent lately are visiting cards
made of thin sheets of iron, a revival of
the exhibits made at the first Uni
versal Exhibition, held in London in
1851. The French and Spanish Jour-
nails have been lately treating this mat
ter of f%ine-rolling of sheets of iron as u
novelty, but, in truth, the affair re-
suited in a competition between Amcri-
can and English metallurgists arising
out of the exhibit of a specimen of iron
paper, if it may be SO termed, made in
1851 by an American firm. "A lively
competition in iron rolling then ensued
among British manufacturers, as to
the thinness to which steel could be
rolled cold. Mr.. elliott rolled sheets
the average thickness of which was
the 1,S00th part of an inch. In other
words, 1880 sheets piled upon each
other would collectively measure an
inch in thickness, while the thinnest
tissue paper to be purchased in tho
stationers' shops, or cigarette paper,
measured the 1,200th part of an inch.-

Beyond $1,000 feet above sea Lowell,
the height reached by Glaisher, in
1862, man has never been able to navi-
gnte the air. Various problems con-
corning the region farther away-such
as tho temperature, tho pressure, tho
quantity of moisture, the composition
Of the air, etc.-have attracted the
attention of physicists, and have OF
last led to the experiments of M. Her.
mite, who, during the last few months,
has been sending up pilot balloons,
carrying registering apparatus. These
balloons arc very light, with acepacity
of about 100 to 200 cubic fcct. Falling
ut distances from Paris ranging up to
200 miles, tho balloons have nearly all
been returned by their finders, as re-
quested on O card attached each, and
one has brought down lccords from
height OF 10000 feet. The instruments
used are very light and simple. With
larger balloons and systematic explora-
tion it is hoped that the secrets OF tho
air up to ut least 10000 feet, may be
made as familiar to us as those Of the
deepest and darkest depths of the sea
are gradually bee oming.

About WEAKNESS.

Prof. Michael Foster has been e c
turing at Cambridge On the subject
of WEAKNESS. In this busy work-a-
day world there are few OF us who do
not often experience the sensation,
though not many may know exactly
what is the c%ausation thereof. There
are two chief actors. the profe S o
tells us, in the production of wcari-
ness or exhaustion, a too speedy ex.
penditure of bodily capital or force,
and the accumulation of the products
of activity in the working organ.
The nervous system is a candle that
cannot be properly burned at both
ends at once. Endurance depends
largely upon blood adequately pure,
and the speed with which the internal
scavengcrs free blood from the poison
which the muscles and other organs
of activity pour into it is proper
tional to the staying powers Of the
worker. The hunted hare dies not
because it is choked for want of
breath, nor because its heart stands
still, its store Of energy having given
out, but because a poisoned blood has
poisoned its brain and its whole body.
The nutritive and ~excrctory systems
must therefore, be of the highest inn
portance to the enduring activity of
the highest executive mechanism.
From the remarks the reader may
come to his own conclusions as to the
value of pure food and fresh air. This
last should have the very freest en-
trance to every dwelling and yet how
very seldom is this the case. Take a
walk along the street in any town at
night and from the number of win.
dows Theoretically sealed one would
think that pure air was mans great
est enemy instead of his best friend.

Il unique illustration of it u few DAYS

a twcnty-dollar bill, asked il he could

The p%awnhr0ker was an excellent

the bill was genuine. So he turned
and said to the stranger, showing the
bill toward him as he spoke, that he
was in no mood for nonsense. But
tho stranger, showing the bill back,
rcjoined in earnest tones that he
meant business; that he couldn't get
any conductor on a horse car to

we're awful tight, and shat unless he
could get a dollar ON the bill he would
