Women at English Races.


EThe women one sees at the races here
are the women Of the fashionable world,
beautifully attired escorted by galiants-
They move about on the lawn, or pre-
side at their luncheon tables under the
trees or over their hampers in their car
RACES they chat and promenade, take a
light interest in the races, walk about
the paddock and look at the horses, do
the honors in box or rest in their seats
at the grand stand; but one doesn't see
them hauling out money to put on a
horse or chasing around to find out
whats good in this race zone doesn't
see them consulting the tips in the morn
ing papers, or Jacks tips or anybody's
tips, or in any way showing that they
are afflicted with a severe attack Of
gambling fever.
The English women are the most
charming feature Of the English races.
They, With their lovely toilets and holi-
day airs, give it the garden party flavor
that helps to keep it a sport instead of a
business.
But it's not in nature for them tc al
ways look on and never participate
English women have finger in the
racing pie also. You'd hardly suspect 1t
to watch them at the races, but they do.
They are usually women who go racing
for the love Of the sport and who know
more or less about the horses When
they want to bet they ask commits
sioner, some gentleman who Is betting
for himself, or else some one they can
tip for the trouble, to put a certain
amount on horse for them NJ money
passes on the course. The settling" Is
all done away from there and usually by
letter and checks.
Women who bet heavily and cOntin-
uaIly-and there are such-transaet their
business directly with a bookmaker
Just ike a man. But this again isn't
evident on the course. When such
women fancies horse she sends 4 tel
ezram from her home the morning OF
the day be runs, making her bet or she
wires her bet-Or ''oIder'-frcm the
course before the race. Usually. too,
she's the sort Of women who can retail
the latest fashionable gossip in piquant
style, while her equine fancy IS add
ing to or subtracting from her bank ae-
count.
There are great many English wom-
en- who bet in this way, AMI who now
and then stand to win tidy sums in the
early books on big races. Then there's
a lot OF playful impromptd betting at
places like Epson and Ascot. I've seen
ladies lean over the front Of the boxes al
EPSON and hand the shouting bOOkies
who stand in line in front Of them soy-
ereigns and half sovereigns and name
their horses, 10 give the day zcst or
shave it to say" that they were on
Darby or Oaks favorite-
And I've seen ladies going to and fIom
the paddock Ascot stop to have look
at the shouting ring, and 90 up to some
bookie and make a Oct % Just to have the
experience" and the b0Okie would be
~as polite as BASKET Of chips, and the
experience" would be filed away with
those other wonderful ones Of hedged in
lives like a ride on Jumbo or a dash
into the s,I ns.-L1siJa C9. CaeIyU
Isfer Orean.

Soil Production for 1893.

The national almanac for the year
l sos, as usual in its annual issues, shows
how the soil will produce, character o:
its yield, and what It viii pay, from
which we condense the following:
Spring grain will be paying yield. 1t
will be favorite year for barley, oats
peas and other leguninous plants.
Wheat and rye, as winter grain, il
where and when they were planted it
was warm, viii yield largely in shaw
bat not SO fair in grain. All early sowr
grain can be pastured to sheep in TIE
spring.
Fruit, in some places, will be abund
ant in yield, in others only ordinary, and
still others it will be total failure. Hops
will not be abundant
Grapes will not be a success this year
and the moon and Saturn are credited
with the influence that win blight the
crop.
Fishing will be failure in all diTec
tions, and all streams will have less o
the iinny tribes in them than were seen
there for several years past.
There will be few thundergusts during
the coming summer. East winds vii
prevail, with slight alterations in west
erIy winds, but little will blow from this
north.
Disease will be slow 10 curing and vii
be most virulent in spring and autumn
and epidemics will be Numerous among
cattle.
These are forecasts which must be tax

Yawning Witness

A few evenings agJ half dozen me-
were sitting out in front OF the Clpit4l
hotel discussing various topics, wAsl
judge Yost, Of the supreme court, in tell
ing an auecdote Of a trial, remarked that
the witness yawnei and he knew be was
lying.
GLOW did you know was asked.
~Weli sir have seen witnesses lie
and not yawn. but never know one to
yawn when he was not telling lie.
Jadge Sims, the member of the legis-
latuse GOm Tdgs r--nTked, Yes
always know witness is lying
when he yaEns.
Senator Dave Smith said, 1t is almost
invariably the case.
Judge Wall, the Senator from Mason,
came up and corroborated the state
rnent Of the others, an just then Judge
Brent, Of the superior court, j5ined the
group. when a witness yawns ne i.
telling lie, and he knows it. "
Several other lawyers were appealed tC
and all bore out the statements made
None, however, could explain the phen-
omenon. Judge YOst was the only oEs
who had q theory and that was thai

The Buried LOGON olive.

Says locomotive engineer; Il once
had en- interesting experience with a
quieksand. My engine ran of low
bridge near River Bend, about one hun
dred miles east of Denver, and fell in a
small creek filed with quicksand. A
wrecking train came up in a few hours,
but the engine had entirely disappeared.
The railroad officials ordered il to be
raised, but it could not be found. We
sounded with rods to a depth of over 90
feet, but not trace did We discover OF
the engine, which had vanished as com
pletely as if il had neve= existed. -Four
years later it was found at a depth Of
over one hundred feet and raised. We
then ascertained that there was scarcely
a bit of rust on it, the breaks were few
and after z little Iinkering it was put up

Native Wit in a Street Gamin.

Wit in the New York young fellow"
if sometimes brutal, is usually ready and
often Imaginative. An unmistakeable
oriental, in turban, baggy trousers, gay
stockings and tinseled coat, sat on a
bench in Madison square the other day,
an object Of interest to all the boys, and
apparently not displeased at the aiten-
ton he attracted. There came along,
presently, however, two rough looking
young men, and one Of them, pa using in
front Of the stranger, looked at him in
undisguised astonishment. His first sur
prise over, he called back his fellow,
who had passed. on, and said, pointing to
the oriental, Jimmy, git on to this.

rearward ofJimmy's Imagination. for his
instant answer was, cob, Cinderella
