Pierre LorTlard win Have the Brooklyn
Handicap Investigated

New YORK, May 19.-The Herald
saws: 'Thank God that l got my horse
out Of the race alive, and l feel douoly
thankful when l think Of the scOundreis
IN the race" These were the words OF
Pierre Lorillard. when asked TO express
an opinion OF the Brooklyn handicap,
run az Gravesend, lass Monday, when
his great colt, Lamplighter, was beaten
by Diablo In race that bids fair to De-
come one of the greatest scandals OF
turf history.
Mr.. Lorillard is convinced that his
horse was not beaten by fair means ana
he wants the race investigated and the
guilty parties, II it shown there was
lob. punished Acting on the telegram
which Mr. Higgins, trainer or the Kan
cocas stables, sent TO his employer on
the night Of the race, Mr.. Lorillard has
requested Mr.. DeCourcey Forbes, Pres
ident OF the New York Jockey Club, TO
see john Hunter, President OF the Board
OF Control, and arrange for an investl-
CATION OF the race. In his telegram 10

nounced the running OF seven horses In

Strangely enough z. J. Dwyer and

He was particularly severe in his re-
marks about j. Lamley, the rider OF Ri

An Indication OF the Undiscovered.
V0ssOD Past

The first probe of the new admlnistra-
ton thrusts into the pension business
touches a fraud of 500, 900. This is the
work Of an obscure pension agent in
Virginia. Moreover, 1t is vulgar
fraud, perpetrated by forgery and false
representation. 1t contains none OF the
finesse employed by more skillful prac'
titioners, by which the pension rolls
have been swollen to ]. 900, 600 names.
If such fraud as this offers itself to
the first investigation, what must lie

Why Girls Have Headaches.

Helen Evertson, in Harper's Bazaar,
explains the cause and suggests the
remedies for a great and growing evil,
rs follows:
"When went to school," said O
charming grandmother Of our acquain'
tance, ~ never knew what it meant
to have q headache. Yet my grand
daughters complain of them almost
constantly. Something must be
wrong. What is it?"
In the search for causes thus institu'
ted 1t was at first suspected that lack
of proper ventilation in school or sleep,
ing-rooms was to blame. This not
proving to be the case, the food was
INQUIRED about, and several things pp'
peared to the sensible grandmother to
be wrong.
The girls were allowed to eat what,
when, and what quantity they chose,
not seldom omitting their meals en.
tirely. "Don't force them to eat, "
had been the parental Hinjunclion,
"Young people will always eat ~
much as is good for thom." unfor'
lunately this is not always the case.
There are many young girls who
have no appetite for their breakfasts,
the really most important meal of the
day, and if unchecked will start upon
their davis work with no better pro-
vision to meet its demands than cup
of coffee and cracker. The blood Is
called 10 the brain by the first hours
of study; and the lack of nourshment
though not felt as such, is very per-
cepti6le in its effects. After two OF
three hours of work the girls can dc
no more, They are exhausted, fretfu
unreasonable; their "heads ache"
They feel but little more appetite for
luncheon than for break fast, aud that
little they satisfy with the least nour:
ishing sorts of food which are placed
before them. At the late dinnercthe
only meal to which they come of theil
own accord-they eat nsore, perhaps
too much, in fact, but rarely of tina,
which is best suited to their rea
needs.

The Crooked Tree.

"Such cross old woman as Mrs.
Barnes! I never would send her jelly,
or anything else, again" said Molly
Clapp, setting her basket down hard
on the table. "She never even said
THANK you p but, Set the cup on the
table, child, and don't knock over the
bottles. Why don't your mother come
herself, instead of sending you? I'll
be dead one Of these days, and then
she'll wish she had been little more
neighborly.' I never want to 60 there
again, and I should not think you
would"
Molly! Molly! Come quick, and see
Mr.. DAVIS straighten the old cherry
tree" called Tom, through the win
dow.
And old Mrs. Barnes was forgotten
as Motley flew out over the green to
the next yard.
Her mother watched, with a good
deal of interest, the efforts Of two stout
men, az with strong ropes they strove
to pull the crooked tree this way aud
that. But it was Of no use.
"'Tis as crooked as the letter s,
and has been for twenty years. You
are just twenty years too late, Mr..
DAVIS" said Joe, as he dropped the
rope, and wiped the sweat from his
face.
"Are you sure you have not begun
twenty years tooIate on tobacco and
rum, Joe?" asked Mr.. DAVIS.
"That is true word, master; and 1t
is hard to break off from them as to
make this old tree straight. But l
signed the pledge last night, and,
with Gods help, l mean to keep it,"
with Gods help you may hope to
keep it, Joe." responded his master.
"Our religion gives every man a
chance to reform. No one need de-
spair 80 long as we have such pro-
misses of grace to help"
"That is my comfort sir" said the
man, humbly, but shall tell the
boys to try and not get crooked at the
SMother," said Molly, as she stood
by the window again at her mothers
side, II know now what is the mat
ter with old Mrs. Barnes. She need
not try to be pleasant and kind now,
for she is like the old tree-it is twenty
years too late"
"It is never too late with Gods help
to try TO do better, but my little girl
must begin now to keep back harsh
words and unkind thoughts. Then
she will never have to say, as Joe
said about the tree, 1T is twenty years
too late. .'"-Sunday School Herald.

Needless Waste.

A few hints in regard to careless
wastefulness are we'll worth consider
ing. Waste in the kitchen is often
very great from apparently trivial
sources.
In cooking meats the water is
thrown out without removing the
grease, or the grease from the drip
ping pan is thrown away.
Scraps of meat are thrown away.
Cold potatoes are left to sour and
spoil.
Dried fruits fruits are not looked
after, and become wormy.
Vinegar and sauce are left standing
in tin.
Apples are left to decay for want of
sorting over"
The tea canister is left open.
Victuals are left exposed to be eaten
by the mice.
Bones of meat and the carcass of
turkey are thrown away when they
could be used making good soups.
Sugar, tea, coffee and rice are care.
lessly spilled in the handling.
Soap is left to dissolve and waste in
water.
Dish towels are used for dish cloths.
Napkins are used for dish towels.
Towels are used for holders.
Brooms and mops are not hung up.
More coal is burned than necessary
by not arranging dampers when not
using the fire.
Lights are left burning when not
used.
Mustard is left to spoil in the cruise.
Pickles become spoiled by the leak
ing out or evaporation of the vinegar.
Pork spoils for the want of salt, and
beef because the brind wants scald-
ing.
Hams become tainted or filled with
vermin for want of care.
Cheese molds and is eaten by mice
AMI vermin.
Tea and cofe pots are injured on
the stove.
Woodenware is unscalded and left
to warp and crack.
And 80 on and on Indefinitely, and
it is important that the eye of the mis-
tress be ever viligant, no matter how
competent the "helph may be consid-
cred or how thorough the house

Trying To Do Too Much.-There
was once woman who was the dis
pair of all the other women. of her
acquaintance. Her house was as
pretty as possible, and always in per.
feet order; she kept it on very small
income and kept it beautifully. She
made all of her own clothes, and those
of her child; she trimmed hats fer
herself and sisters; she did fancy work;
she painted chairs, thereby saving as
much as seventy five cents; she taught
class in a mission sewing-school; she
took lessons in cooking; she belonged
to several charitable organizations
and the end of that woman was ner-
vous prostration and q senitarium.
Amid her occupations she had some
how lost sight of the fact that e. GER
tain amount of amusement is neces-
sary for the buman mind. She had
never chad time" for rest or diversion:
And her husband, as he paid the bill
for medical services, possibly reflected
how much better, and not only better,
but cheaper would prevention have
been than the cure.

There is one great fault with the
growing generation. The young men
want to get rich too fast. With wealth
going to waste all around them they
cannot find it in their souls to be pa
tient. They are not content to plod
along as their fathers did before them
and slowly lay up fortune. They
must it now, today, this instant.
When they 60 into an enterprise they
want capital, and lots of it. They
want to begin on big scale and cleo
trify the world. 1t is not the age of
saving br If spending. Speculation,
in the opinion of the New York Tri-
bune, is the erase of the hour. Every
man wants to make more than he can
earn by the sweat of his brow. He
must double his money in a mig ght. and
quadruple it the next day. 1t is an
altogether artificial existence. Con-
tentment is not sought nowadays.
All the men want is excitement.

-Wateryour horses more than three
times day while they are working
hard during hot weather, even If ii
does put you to some Inconvenience.
The extra work that they will do, and
the better condition in which they
will keep, will fully repay you.
In Norway the horses always have
bucket of water placed beside each
animals allowance of hay. After each
mouthful of hay they take a sip OF
water. 1t Is said that this mode of
feeding is beneficial, and to it the fact
is attributed that q broken-winded
horse is rarely seen in Norway.
The man that will scrub the bins
thoroughly with boiling brine just be-
fore he fills them will hardly be troub-
led with weevil. Whitewashing the
bins with thin whitewash, being care
full to get into the cracks and corners,
make assurance doubly sure.

They will keep for years if this is

When soda is added to dishwater no

His Wit Saved Him.

A certain Irishman, having been
challenged to fight u duel, accepted
the conditions after much persuasion.
His antagonist, q lame man, walked
on crutches. When the place for the
shooting had been reached, the lame
mans seconds asked that he be allow
ed to lean against milestone which
happened to stand there. The privi-
lege was allowed, and the lame man
took his stand, The Irishman and
his seconds drew off to the distance
agreed upon, one hundred feet. Here
Pats courage suddenly failed him,
and he shouted to the lame man: "pve
q small favor to ask of ye, sor."
"What Is it?" asked the cripple. Pat
answered.: II tould ye that ye might
lean agin the mile post, and now |
would like the privilege of leanin'
agin the next one." The laugh that
followed spoiled everybody's desire
for fight, and the whole party went
home without a shot having been
fired.

a great truth "The neither history OF

This reason that eighteen centuries of
Christianity have failed to produce an
ethical human society. A study OF
the reasons why the powerful have

A Midway Japanese Criticism or
American Manners.

America is large, strange and cold.
The climate seems to me to effect the
people and make them rough and
noisy. I never heard so much noise
in my life. In my home we do not
make great noise. Our emotions are
displayed, but they are quiet and me-
lodious; here joy and displeasure ap-
pear to call forth harsh sounds. They
all seem to be in great haste and
they they chew something all the
time. The ladies are the most ..beauti-
full things in America, but they are
very strange to me. They always
want to shake hands. Then they
kiss each other. I do not like that.
In my country we only kiss our moth
er and sisters. Their dress is beautiful.
Their form is strange. I think they
must wear something around the
waist to hold them rigid. They are
all much larger than we are, yet their
waists are smaller. The other day
one of the lady visitors asked to come
into my house to arrange her dress.
She was as beautiful as the Java twi-
light. Her dress was the same. But
very ssrange-She wore Jewels be-
meath her garments where no one
could ever see them. This seemed
strange to me: If the American wom-
an wears jewels on her knees, why
does she not wear her skirt short 80
people can see them? This one had
much lace on her clothes. We never
wear any but single piece on the
waist. She had great quantities. She
had on SO many skirts that I do not
know how she walked. She never
could run, am sure. 1t is wonder
to me how they keep their hats on. I
am sure that the thin cloth they wear
over their faces would choke me. I
like the children the best. They look
80 clean :and always have their faces
washed. T do not like the men in
America. They are not polite. Since
have been here many men who have
been with ladies have pointed their
canes and fingers at me and said some-
thing. That is very. impolite. We
bow, but meyer point. The men do
not take their hats off when they talk
to US in our houses. It Is not what
they do in Java. At home we are
happy and live our lives slowly.
Here people live lives in one day. A
very strange thing here is the ques-
tions asked. Everybody asks ques-
tions. 1 am asked If am married; If
I am single; how old I am; If I wash
my hands and face every day; If I
paint my hair black; if my feet hurt
me, and when I answer people laugh.
That Is very bad taste. Some day
they will learn better, for they tell
me this is a young country.-Chicago

Prayer has in its keeping all good
things, "There Is no way" said the
late DR.. Alexander, Sin which we can
more surely increase mutual love than
by praying for one another. If you
would retain warm affection for an abb
sent friend, pray for him, If yoa
would live in the regard Of another,
beseech him to pray for you. If yon
would conquer enmity in your own
soul toward one who has wronged you,
pray for him. Dissension or cold ness
cannot abide between those who bear
each other to Gods throne in supplies
