BREEDING RACE HORSES.
Select Mare with Good Running Blood
In Her Veins.

In Her Veins.
Breeding race horses has been reduced
to science. Year after year expert
ments are tried which yield results not
before contemplated. Occasionally we
see some enthusiastic sportsman rush
into enormous expense and spend large
sums of money in the establishment Of
breeding stud which eventually proves
failure.
The breeding of race horses and the
building of successful stud farms re-
quire not only the expenditure of money,
but of what is quite as important. the
engaging of men of experience and COM
mon sense to look after them. Patience
is absolutely necessary on the part of a
would be successful owner. He must
not expect too great results in too short
time. The best sire in the world may
not get good stock if the mares are not
properly selected. One might go fur
ther and say he will not get good stock
if the mares put to him are of inferior
caliber.
In selecting mares one of the greatest
desideratums is having running blood
in their veins. There are many well
performed mares ON the turf who prove
failures in the stud, and vice versa.
When, however, a mare whose fame on
the turf suggests she will throw good
stock and she proves comparative fail
ure, it is difficult to find good reason
for this failure. 1t may be the selection
Of sire was mistake, or that the mare
had too much racing on the turf, and
this in some way injured her for the
stud use.
Running blood in mare does not nee
essarily mean she must have been great
performer, although we should prefer a
mare that had shown she could gallop.
Rich men can purchase almost any
thing they may desire, and therefore no
mistake should be made when first form
ing a stud to secure the best possible
blood, not only on the sire's side, but
particularly on the dams.
One of the first questions asked when
we hear of stud farm being formed after,
"What sort of sire has he got?" is,
"What sort of mares have been bought"
That is the question of vital Importance.
Investing money in good blood mares is a
profitable speculation, but n man of ma
tured judgment and experience should
be selected for the task. Breeding could
be made to pay and has been made to
pay handsomely, but it will be difficult
matter to make stud farm success
unless there is plenty of infusion Of
running blood

Honey in a Petriiied Tree.

While digging n well on the place OF
Reginald c. Durham, at Live Oak,
Fla, the diggers' pickaxes struck
against something SO hard that it wa
impossible to bring any chips from it.
The object not being more than ten
feet below the surface Of the earth 1t
was disinterred, when it was found to
be part of petrifed tree, and the
petrifcation being only on the outside
an inch or two the trunk was soon split
open. 1t was found that it was filed
with soft, sticky mass adherent to the
sides of the tree. On tasting this it was
found to be very sweet, of the luscious
ness of honey, and at last it was decided
that it was honey which had been shut
up in that buried tree, it WAS impossi-
bic to say how many years.
This was further confirmed by the
discovery in the mass of objects,
which, being examined, proved to he
bees. 1t was a curious study to eto-
mologists to observe that the insects
were identically the same as of to-day
and the honey cells Of the same struc-
ture. Mr.. and Mrs. Durham that
night enjoyed feast such as few sit
down to, but a goodly portion of it was
left to send to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, while a quantity of the honey,
perhaps of antedeluvian manufacture,
was left in the tree where it had re-
posed so long, but after some hours Of
exposure to the air, which happened
to be damp, it lost its tenacious quality
and became slightly more liquid, or
about the consistency of tar or turpen-
tine. Philadelphia Times.

Must Have Sailing Vessels.

There is a great deal said from time
to time about the decline of the sailing
ship and the near prospect OF her total
disappearance off the seas. But, in
point of fact, there never were such
large number of fine sailing vessels,
both afoat and building in our yards,
as the British merchant service boasts
to-day. As our colonies thrive and in
crease-for with them our chief ocean
intercourse hes-so must the demand
for shipping necessarily become
greater, and there will always exist
many branches of commerce in which
sailing ships may be for more profta-
bly, employed than steamers.
New Zealand annually gives work to
a very large feet of clippers, outside
the regular liners, in carrying the
frozen csrcases of sheep to the
European markets; the wheat trade of
California employs every season many
thousands of tons of our shipping; the
wool exports from Australia, the jute
traffic of India and the slowly expand
ing industries Of the South American
seaboards. are all trades which still
give more work to sail than to steam.
The sailing ship will never again
larry passengers, but so long as coal at
ln average of a pound ton remains
condition of the employment
If the steamer, so long is
the clipper ship likely to go on -four
shing in those trades where prompt
lispatch is not matter of the very
irst moment.-English Illustrated
Magazine.

A novel excursion was given by the lntra-
mural Elevated Railroad. At o'clock a. m.
the officers OF tho road, which encircles tho
grounds on tho inside, had a train OF four
cars brought to the Midway Plaisance gates,
and in response to invitations the population
OF that cosmopolitan quarter embarked Tor a
ride about the grounds. The first car was
given up to the Iowa State Band, and Band
master Phinney and his men were kept busy
footing the airs Of all Nations and varied war
dances during the trip. Hagenbeck's animal
show sent forty men. King Bull, oi the Lap
land village, came on with the party, and sat
side by side with three swarthy seyen-ioot
Zulus, who were playing iackstones With the
natives Of the Dahomey village ON the seat
opposite. Buffalo Bill's" Indians, in their
gaudy trappings, filed the last car. Nearly
every Nation on earth was represented, ana
as they went around the park they sent up a
conglomeration Of cheers and yells that al
most caused the statues on the big buildings
10 crumble. The train finally stopped az the
south end Of the grounds, where the party
was photographed. and after luncheon re-
turned to the starting point.

STYLES in Wearing the Beard.

Men and women who are fifty years
oldremember when the smooth shayen
face was almost invariably the mark OF
a gentlemen. A few men wore light
side whiskers, but the chin was kept
bare, and such thing as mustacho
was known only in pictures. This was
true in Europe as well as in this country,
until the Crimean Wer, when the fash
ion of shaving changed, and the mus
tache and full beard came in. When
our own war broke out the mustache
broke out too. Everybody wanted to
look fierce and war-like. Since that
time the fashion in boards has varied
somewhat. The mutton-chops had q
period and died out, but full boards,
half boards, side whiskers, mustaches,
goatees, ETC., have been in style accord
ing to the taste of the wearer. OF late,
however, there is noticeable tendency
toward a clean shave, and it is possible
that we are returning to the types of
fifty years ago.-Springfeld Mass. J

in fences. One could wish for him no better
introduction into the vast. fertile, and pleas
ant fields OF architecture and art than through
the Fisheries and their frogs.
The only place on the vast exposition
grounds where there is any consciousness Of
more than two or three persons gathered to-
gether is in the Government exhibit in the
Fisheries. This consists Of tanks around
the centre and circumference Of the circular
wing, with passageway between. These
tanks are fitted up with such representations
OF the vastly deep and the mountain pools as
are appropriate. The picturesque part is, in
fact, exceedingly attractive, and seems to con-
tent hc inmates, who appear to feel at home.
Here the people Of the prairies see the strange
inhabitants Of the sea in their native element.
Many Of the fish seem TO enjoy their intro
duction into society. The big fish come for
ward and press their noses against tho glass,
and open their wide mouths in astonishment
at the crowds in front, then look at one an
other. and plainly convey their sentiments.
The tanks are supplied with air by means Of
rubber tubes. When the water gets stale it
IS replenished. Anewspaper man was taking
lady through. Ugh, what creature Is
that?' she exclaimed with a shiyer.
That's no fish. It's man in rubber boots

"Oh." she said, making a quick recovery,
Il thought it was an elephant"

The Indian Hornblll.

A hornbill is something like a big
magpie in all its sly tricks and ways.
It catches n little ball of food, il
thrown to it, with a sharpness and
precision worthy of cricketer. On
one occasion, when Mrs. Hornbill had
made herself a nest in the hollow
trunk Of the tree in their house and
deposited her eggs in it, Mr.. Hornbill
came and plastered up the opening
with mud, leaving only small space
sufficient for him to insert his bill and
feed the female and nestlings. He
feeds them in a very affectionate mar
ner, by throwing up from his own
stomach pellets of food, enveloped,
something like a sausage, in "gizzard
sacs" formed of portions of the In
terror lining of his own stomach This
is perhaps more curions than nice. -

He then related his brothers story,

he mortgage interested them in any

"And so Your brother is rich miner

"But do you not see that we are mis-

she said sadly.

swered, that YOU are both rich.
Suppose 1 tell You that the
mortgage was left by your father
in nv brothers care for your main
senance, and that the gold-mine is
yours.
The two women sprang up with ex-
clamations of surprise; but the imper-
turbable doctor said to Mary, as he
gently forced her back into her seat;
"Come now, Miss Carnold, I see L
must exercise my authority. Youmus
not excite yourself; you are still very
weak. Besides-well, there's another
patient, he added, interrupting him
self, as the bell rang vigorously. AS
he left the room, he said mysteriously:
eff the patient proves to be friend
of yours, 1 will bring him up"
In short time there were footsteps
on the stairs-a knock-a cry-and
the long separated lovers were clasped
in each others arms.
"What joyous reunionl" said DR..
Banks, as he and Alice Carnold sat
apart watching the happy pair. "But
do YOU realize that it means separa-
tion to us, unless-unless you wish to
avoid it?p
The beautiful head dropped to hide
her bushes, but she did not answer.
"Alice, darling" he continued, pas
sionately, "when first I saw those
lovely, imploring eyes of yours, lloved
you. Now you are a rich woman, and
[ only poor doctor"
"Hush dear, she said, interrupting
him; 81 am rich, indeed. with such a
love as yours. Take me, unworthy as
am; for you are my life. New
