head.
Neil BurgeBs'e horse race is O revels-
ton in stage mechanism. The horses
have to gsllop to retain their posi-
tions, for the track flies away from under
them. Each horse has revolving Sec
ton of the stage under his immediate
control, and made of compressed paper,
and the speed of the same ie regu-
lated so aa to bring the fsvorite in frat.
Each of these sections weighs a ton and
half, and they are 80 constructed that
they resist striking power of almost
Jour tons. Two three horsepower cleo
trio motors propel the whole of the ma
chinsry. The back fence, 80 feet long
and 20 feet high, only 10 feet showing
! above the stage, whirls by at speed
| of a mile in three minutes, though it
weighs 1900 pounds. The front fence
moves on an Ingenious system of puIleye
aud counter-shafts, extending across the
entire stage.
The total weight of the machinery
used is between seven and eight tons,
and was constructed under Mr.. Burgess
personal supervision at his machine shop
in Jersey City at cost of $4,000.
The race ie go exciting and the Gym
pathies OF the audience have been 90
worked by what has gone before that
men rise in their seats and encourage
the favorite by cheering, while the ladies
scream, wave their handkerchief and
applaud furiously.
Outside of the race, The County Fair
is a clean, home-spun New England
play, which, in its realism and appoint
ments, ia as true picture of down
east life as ose would wish to see.

some interesting facts. rhe total mum
Der of school children in this city be-
tween five and seventeen years OF age, is
1908. The girls number $500 and the

is that during the past twelve-month
Los Angeles has gained 1853 school

EDITORS HERALD: In today's HERALD
the gusiacum test for blood is so mac
curately given that, think, in justice to
myself, correction is necessary. The
production OF blue color with tincture
of guaiacum alone is not test for blood
milk, pus, saliva, potato, apple, and
great many other substances, will give
blue color with tincture OF guaiacum.
In the case Of blood, the blue color is
developed only by the use Of tincture
OF guaiac and peroxide of hydrogen !;
the addition OF ether or alcohol makes
the test much more delicate. Frequent
ly, tineture of guaiac and peroxide of
hydrogen will give no appreciable result,
when the addition of few drops of
ether or alcohol will develop beautiful
blue color. The test ia still more deli
cate If heat be applied, but not over 200
degrees Fahrenheit.
II all these precautions be adopted,
and only drop or two of the reagents
used, aingle drop of blood may be
diluted in gallon of water. Very
respectfully, West HUGHES, M. d.

Working for Christ.

As fit climax this is an evangelistic
movement 1t is primarily an effort OF
the young to save the young. These En-
deavorers take charge of the smallest lit
tie ones in the Junior society and train
them to work for Christ. They plead
with the associate members who are not
willing to call themselves Christians, and
they win them over. They are jealous
for church membership. Last year 120,-
900 joined the church from the ranks of
these societies, chiefly from the associate
membership They are eager with invita-
tons to Christian life. They put them
in the way in hotels, railroad stations,
barber shops, wherever young men and
young women may be reached. They
work in many ingenious ways They
bait their hooks with social gatherings,
with music, with flowers. They are
eager for souls, these Christian Endeav-
orers.-Once a Week.

Is an unerring blow at labor, which will be
instantly felt in the home of every opera

needed and never more expected by the
people from their representatives. 1t is the
demand of the hour and the requirement OF
the situation. The tinkerers of the tariff
should be thwarted; they should be OPP
posed at every step in their programme OF

who believe in the protective system, IN

together in resisting every effort to weaken

upon us. In time like the present, with
idle men and idle mills, platforms to the
rear and theories to the winds. The voice
of partisanship should have no place in
