The whole history of the organism bears
testimony to the marvellous persistence of
parts in spite of contumely and disuse
Take, for example, the present position of
the little toe in man. We know not the
condition of this digit in prehistoric man,
and have but little information as to its
state among savage tribes at the present
day, but we do know that in civilized peo-
pies, whose feet are from infancy subjected
to conditions of restraint, it is an imperfect
organ.
In l per cent. of adults the second and
third joint have anchylosed; in per cent.
the joint between them is documentary,
with scarcely trace of cavity; in 20 per
cent. of feet the organ has lost one or more
of its normal complement of muscles But
though shorn of some of it's elements, and
with others as mere shreds, the toe persists,
and he would be n bold prophet who would
venture to forecast how many generations
of booted ancestry would suffice to elm
mate it from the organization of the nor
nal man.-AleXander Macalister in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

The drummer had finished an especial
~ miraculous story of some of his per.

outside the door of the smoking COM
parnent where he could hear the COM
ments of his fellow travellers.

fellow, what n wonderful man that

nothing wonderful about him."
But" persisted the green looking
man, "just think of all that happening
to him that he told us about"
DO you believe that:" asked the other
one in a plying tone, ''why, there wasn't
word of truth in any of it,"
The countrynan never turned hair.

but liar like he is is wonderful man
to me anyway" and the drummer gave
warning cough and came back into

ciplcs, so that perfect sanitation is insured,
while the walls and alleyways are finished
in polished hard wood Even the most
fastidious member of the equine kingdom
that comes to Chicago for sale or exhibi-
tion will have no reason to complain of it's
surroundings The total cost of the ground
and structure exceeded $500 900, and it is
said that the value Of the ground has
doubled in year.
Originally the enterprise was designed
simply for the holding of frequent sales of
high bred standard stock, with an incidental
show, but out of it has grown social adj
junct that promises to be extremely popu-
lar. For several years past number of
wealthy and public spirited citizens have
given their money and countenance to
horse shows in Battery ID, but the last of
these events was Il dismal failure, and con-
sequently the patrons had about decided to
take no stock i'll any further venture of the
kind. But with the organization of Tat
tersalls there came renewed confidence and
as the outcome of conference at which
private fortunes aggregating some $50, 0OO,-
900 were represented the social adjunct
became an accomplished fact under the
name of Tattersalls' club. 1t is under the
direct patronage Of this club that the forth
coming horse show will be given. The club
HAS iuAurlOuS quarters ON tne SlXteenth
street front, with n large quaint old Eng
lish fireplace, long reading tables and richly
upholstered couchcs.
Adjoining the clubroom is a cafe and
restaurant and n ladies' reception ROOM
To these quarters only members and the
ladies accompanying them can be admitted.
1t is said that more horses are bred within
radius of 600 miles of Chicago than any
where else in this or any other country,
the amount invested in stock farms de-
voted exclusively to the breeding of fine
horses being over SIC, 100000 iii Illinois and
Wisconsin alone.
The new enterprise, it is expected, will
restore the confidence of breeders and
owners, give an impetus to the breeding
business and receive n large and profitable
share of public patronage and support.

"That all?" and the Omaha boys face
fell. "We makes two and half cents

The Now Yorker glanced up and down
the street, swept his eye over all the

They had been married but ono short
week and We're down by the sea.
For two days he had been wandering
about aimlessly as one in dream.
The shadow had fallen upon him, and
its chill had touched the gentle heart of

She had watched him, oh, so anxiously,
and had known no peace since tho clam

This morning he had gone out to q
lonely place on the rocks overlooking the
wide eXpanse of the silent sea.
The cruel green waves came beating in
upon the cold, gray rocks, and they
seemed to be sounding his requiem.
Far off on the rolling waves II sail

eyes followed it in its course.
Hero she found him wrapped in his
revcrie. She spoke to him, but he needed
her not.
His eyes were turned seaward, as if
they would pierce the veil of distance
and carry him OH their wings to the I'M

She touched him, and he started up, be-

An Opinion of Husbands.

She was IL fat, jolly old colorcd woman.
and she wandered into County Agent Ma
honcy's Office in search of a little coal. Her
coal black face beamed with good nature,
and honesty shone in both of her ewes.
She asked for the coal with the air of one
who thought herself entitled to it, but

Being married man Mr.. Mahoney was
not in n position to give an unprecedented
opinion, so he gave the colored woman an
order for n half ton of coal and she went on
her way rejoicing.

With the opening Of tho horse show will
also come the inauguration of 'Tattersalls,
OF Chicago" Everybody has heard of the
celebrated and original Tattersalls. of
London. TO men identified with horse
flesh, whether as owners, hunters or book
makers, the name of tho great horse
mart has for over half century been a
household word. Chicago's Tattersalls has
the advantage of being under the auspices
of those responsible for the success of the
parent concern, although associated with
them are n score or more Of the leading cam

The structure in which the coming show
will be held is now receiving it's finishing
touches 1t occupies an entire block on
Dearborn street, from Sixteenth to Seven
tcenth, and is an immense affair. Tho
fronts OF the building are given up to the
Offices, cafe, club and ladies' reception
room, library and n carriage repository,
in the latter of which there will be a per
petual show of the latest designs in fash
ionable equipagcs.
Passing through the massive arched en-
trance and up to the corridor, the visitor is
struck with the magnificent dimensions of
the exhibition hall, which is located in the
very center of the building and is 270 feet
long, nearly $50 feet wide and 70 feet high.
Around the arena are 140 boxes in finish
ings of crimson silk velvet and polished
brass. Each has accommodations for six
persons. Back of these are tiers of seats
numbered from to 5000, and altogether
the amphitheater has accommodation for
10000 people. There are two main entrances
and twelve exits, and hence it would take
very little time for the largest audience to
reach the street in the event of panic
On the Seventeenth street side are the

i'll 1886, on the plantation which he now
owns. His father, also Donelson Caffcrv.
was native of Tennessee and one of the
first Americans to settle in Louisiana after
its acquisition. The son received a fine cd
ucation, studied law and was admitted to
the bar, but was engaged in sugar planting
when the civil war began. He arranged his
affairs, removed his slaves to Texas and
joined the Army of the Mississippi His
services during the campaigns about Cor

officer, he swan out into Atchafalaya bay

eral gunboat. 1t failed to explode, but he
was highly honorcd for the attempt.
The close of the war found him bank
rupt, but he managed with such ability and
energy that he is now i'll good circum-
stances. The establishment of central SUI
gar factories in Louisiana, resulting in great
economy of production, is largely his work.
Immediately after the war he began the
practice of law and soon became prominent

STRIVING Our Children.

When we see our house plants looking
stunted, putting forth few leaves and no
flowers, we stir the soil in the pots and
enrich the earth. When we see a child
looking pale and thin we say, if we know
something of physiological chemistry, "Too
little heterogeneous food" If we are simple
folk, averse to long words, we remark,
THAT child seems half starved" 1t is the
truth, however we express it, and n wrong
is being done to the child that the fact is
not recognized and remedied by whoever
has the daily oversight of it's meals The
unconscious victim may seem to eat suffi-
Gent amount of food, while it does not get
