It may we'll be boast of the Ameri- can turf that the practice of "gettihg at" race horse has never been very common here, and 1t Is now several years since the last we'll authenticated case of poisoning occurred at Saratoga. This recalls the fact that the English turf has been notorious for such sensa. tions. Early in the century four crack racers were poisoned at Newmarket, and two men were arrested. The prin- cipal in the matter escaped on a techni- cality, but was rearrested on another charge of horse poisoning and was eventually hanged.
 The St Leger favorite of 1881, a horse named Marcus, was poisoned on the day before the race. He was just able to run, but finished last and died soon afterward. The perpetrator was never discovered.
 Even more sensational was the ''ho- cusing" of Lanercost, the first winner of the CambridReshire, who was in 1842 considered certain winner of the As cot cup He was poisoned, but, like Marcus, was able to run and finished last. He did not die, however, but was retired to the stud--New York Herald

waitin9 For . City Friend With Three Jars
 of Buttermiik.
 The last passenger to leave the 4:30 train on the Michigan Central railroad after 1t drew to a standstin one summer afternoon was a little old woman ip black. A wisp of gray hair struggled from under an old fashioned poke bon net, and a pair of kindly blue eyes looked out from behind her steel trimmed spectacles In one hand she carried & huge, shiny ydlise, the key of which was tied to the handle with strip of calico cloth. When she was part way up the platform. she stopped. with trou bled look, and watched the baggagemeD toll by with their loaded trucks. Pres ently she dropped the valise and opened big black fan which was fastened to her waist by avelvet ribbon. After she had waited some time one of the depot ushers came along and asked if he could be of any service to her.
 "Why, thank you, think not, she answered. "I am waiting for Dick Rob inson- |"
 The depot usher hurried on and paid no more attention to the little old wom- an. When he came back al half hour later. she was still standing where he had left her, gently flaming herself with the black fan. "Has your friend come yet?" asked the usher.
 No" she answered. His watch must have been slow"
 ''Did he expect you by this train?'
 "Well, you see, it's this way: Last summer Dick and his wife came over to Briggsburg to visit the Coopers. While they were there they came over often to my place to get drink of buttermilk We'll. we got friendly, and Sarah told me lot of things about Chicago, and that she couldn't by DO manner oi means get buttermilk in the city. Be fore Dick went back he came around and says: Mrs. Beggs, just take run up to Chicago next summer and visit us Let us know when you're coming. and I'll meet you at the depot And SC I'm here. and I've got three jars of fresh buttermilk for them in that bag. ''
 The depot usher helped the little old woman to 8 seat in the waiting room, and then he searched the directory foz Richard Robinson. His charge oouldn' help him much, because she didn't know Dicks occupation.
 "All know" she explained, ''is that he's genuine gentleman, and ii he had got my letter he'd "a been here. '' The usher made a list of two or three addresses and put the woman in charge of a trusty cabman. with instructions tc find Dick. Two hours later the driver came back with the report that his fare was delivering her buttermilk. Chi. cago Record.

No Comfort In wcsrldiiness.

Oh, have noticed again and again what a botoh this world makes of it when 1t tries to comfort soul in trou- blel It says, Don't oryp How can we help crying when the hearts treasures are scattered, and father Is gone, and mother Is gone, and companions are gone, and the ohild Is gone, and every thing seems gonef It is no comfort to tell a man not to cry. The world comes up and says, "Oh. 1t is only the body of your loved one that you have put in the groundp But there is no comfort in that. That body is precious. Shall we never put our hand in that hand again, and shall we never see that sweet face neaini Away with your heartless- ness, O worldl But come. Jesus, and tell us that when the tears fall they fall into Gods bottle; that the dear bodies of our loved ones shall rise radiant in the resurrection, and all the hreakings down here shall be fittings up there, and ''they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living foun- tains of water, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes '"
 Take All Your Family.
 You may have noticed that when the ohaffinch, or the stork, or the crane starts on Its migration it calls all those of its kind to come too. The tree tops are full of chirp and whistle and carol. and the long roll call The bird does not start of alone. 1t gathers all of its kind. Oh, that you might be as wise in this migration to heaven, and that you might gather all yourfamilies and your friends with youi Iwould that Hannah might take Samuel by'the hand, and Abraham might take Isaac, and Hagar might take Ishmael. ask you if those who sat at your breakfast table this morning will sit with you in heaven. I ask you what infiuences you are trying to bring upon them, whnt example you are setting them.1 Are you calling them to go with youf Aye, aye, have you started yourself?
 Start for heaven and take your chil- dren with you. Come, thou and all thy house, into the ark. Tell your little ones that there are realms of balm and sweet ness for all those who fly in the right direction. Swifter than eagle's stroke put out for heaven. Like the crane, or the stork. stop not night nor day until you find the right place for stopping. Seated today In Christian service, will you be seatedin the same glorious sery- ice when the heavens have passed away with 0 great noise.r and the elements have melted with ferfent heat, and the redeemed are gathered around the throne Of Jesuss
 The Saviour calls.
 Ye wanderers, come.
 Oh, ye benighted souls.
 Why longer roamf
 The Spirit calls today.

 Oh. grieve him not away.

The pop.,. simple Meals.

The pope is by etiquette deprived cf the comfort of companions at table, a circumstance which his holiness very much deplores. This is his daily menu: Breakfast, Q cup of milk and coffee and roll without butter. Dinner, soup, several kinds of meat. pastry in Italian style,s a roast and either fried potatoes or vegetables; with this the pope drinks glass of old Burgundy and finishes with little fruit. At 6 o'clock Leo takes a cup of bouillon and a small glass of olaret, and 10:30 he takes his supper of c, meat and cup of bouillon.- New York World.

The Game of Dominos.

The inventors of the game of domi. nos were two monks at Monte Casino
 One day the inmates of the convent were on the lookout for a method Of be- guiling their leisure moments without transgressinR the rule of silence to which they were subject. Two of their number hit upon the device of playing with square stones covered with dots. which they showed to each other and combined in certain order agreed upon. The winner communicated the result to his partner by pronounoing in low voice the lines of the vespers, which commence as follows, "Dixit Dominus domino meo." The new game soon sprang into favor and was admitted to the rank of lawful reoreations It be
 came popular outside the monastery walls, but the people, with their scanty knowledge of Latin, simplified the mo- nastio formula, only retaining the word domino, by which the game was after ward entitled. Monde Pittoresque.

Plastic Marble.

In one account of Rome the author mentions five or six slabs of plastic marble as being in the possession of Prince Borghese. Being set on end, they bend backward and forward; when laid horizontally and raised at one end they form curve; if placed on a table and a piece of wood or any other substance is laid under them they fall into a kind of curve, each end touching the table. Abbe Fortis was told that they were dug up near the town of Mondragon, in the kingdom of Naples. The grain is like that of fine Carrara marble, or perhaps of the finest Greek. They seem to have suffered some attack of fire. A slab of marble similar in every respect to those described, and highly pol ished, has been exhibited for more than twenty-five years at the British museum. NJ. Fleuvian de Belvae sue ceeded in making common granular limestone, a granular quartz, com pletely flexible by exposing to certain degree of heat. In Lincoln cathedral, England, there is an arch built of white marble which is quite elastic, yielding to heavy tread, and returning or rebounding to it's original position on true elastic principles.

Good Thing for Xyasps.

Mir. Lawson Tait, the well-known English surgeon, says that the sugar in certain fruits becomes changed into alcohol during the process of decay and that wasps sometimes get very trunk thereon. On grapes and cer- tain plums, he says, ''you will see them get very drunk, crawl away in semi somnolent condition, and repose in the grass for some time till they get over the bout, and then they will go at it again." Moreover, MT. Tait declares that they do their worst in stinging, both in the virulent nature of the stroke and the utterly unprovoked as- ;aults of which they are guilty. was 'tung last year by drunken wasp and suffered severely from symptoms of nerve poison for several days. In such drunken peculiarities they resemble ;heir human contemporaries"

Course of the Colorado River.

Lieut. Roberson, U. s. A., recently returned to Los Angeles after making a trip with three companions in a small boat down the Colorado river, from Yuma to the Gulf of California, to ascertain if the channel could be made navigable for commerce. The river, he says, changes it's course in many places every year at the time of the June rise, shifting it's bed often as much as six or eight miles to left or right, and it would be impossible to impound the water so as to secure regular navigable channel. The tides, too, about the mouth of the river are most cratic; one of it's features is the great bore, which, near the full of the moon every month, sweeps in solid wall of water several feet high, up the upper part of the gulf and twenty miles into the mouth of the Colorado. An attempt to float any boat in the rivers mouth at that time would be fatal At the mouth of the river the party found the ruins of an old ship yard and the decaying hullzs of five steamers. half sunken in the mud, the relics of an attempt made some twenty three years ago to establish line of steamers to ply up the river to Fort Yuma

 BeGgar of Panama.
 had just started from the hotel toward the market place, when I noticed an elderly darky, standing on the opposite side of the street, looking from one to another of the people go- ing in and out of the various entrances to the hotel. The moment his eyes caught mine his face lighted up, and with outstretched hand and smile he came hurrying across the way, says a correspondent of the New York Sun.
 ''Fo' de Lawd, boss, rse glad to see you. fse been lookin' for you all this mawnin'."
 There was no refusing such a cor dial greeting. I shook hands and said:
 Looking for me? I don't know you. How did you happen to be looking for me?"
 How come look for you? Tse gwine tell you. 'Co'rse you don't know me. I'se gwine tell you bout dat, too. Tse been waitin' fo' you be- cause I ain't had CT mouthful O coffee dis blessed mawnin'. I'se on de beach an I'd jess like ter borry dime"
 It was clear case of Panama bunco, but there was such a happy expression on his face-he so thoroughly enjoyed his little game and he worked it so well-that there was no refusing him. Besides he is the most artistic mem- Der of great gang of peculiar negro beggars to be found on the streets of Panama. They are, without excep- tion, from the islands ruled by the British in the West Indies, and they beg only of English speaking stran- gers. On every corner and on several blocks between corners, while walking to the market, I met negro men. With out exception they bowed and touched their hats and said: "Good mawnin', boss.

:. 4 Hungarian Court.

The Hungarian prime minister has succeeded in reestablishing a royal court in Buda Pesth. Hitherto, when the emperor of Austria, as king of Hungary, came to visit the capital of Hungary, he took his Austrian house hold with him. Henceforth the Hun garian lords are to surround him upon all ceremonies in Buda Pesth, and they will also attend him at ceremonies in Vienna, side by side with theE Austrian counterparts.

VARIETIES OF CURRENCY.
The Circulation of Paper Money in This
 Country and in Europe.

Country and in Europe Almost, if not quite, all civilized countries use paper money to facilitate payments within their own jurisdic- tion, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. The United States use paper money to a greater extent than any other country, and in notes of smaller denomination than any other country of equal importance.
 All of our paper bills except the gold certificates are in the denominations of S1, g, s, S1O, S20, $50, S10O, $500 and S1 ,000; our gold certificates do not ap- pear in denominations less than S20. The Dominion of Canada issues S1 and, 8 notes, and various banks issue notes varying from s to S1, ,O00 Mexico is sues paper money of 10 pesos and up ward, and the South American states issue paper of similar denominations. The Bank of England issues all Eng fish notes in denominations of 25, G10, 92O, $50, e10O, e20O, $500, e50O and e1 ,000 The banks of Scotland and Ire land issue notes of S1 and upward. The Bank of France issues notes for 50 francs, 100, 200, 500 and. 1000 francs. The Bank of Belgium issues notes of 20 francs and upward. Italian banks issue notes of 1 lire and upward to 1000 lire The Bank of Germany puts out notes for marks and upward to 1000 marks. Austria issues notes of 1 gulden and upward.
 Russia is the only European country which issues government notes, it's pa per money being of the denomination of 1 ruble and upward. Sweden, Nor way and Denmark issue by their banks notes for krone, 10, 20, 50 and 100 krone. India does not issue paper money, nor does China now. Japan provides paper money of yen. ?, 5, 10, 20 and 100 yens, and the other coun- tries, as rule, issue paper money, the lowest denomination of which is usual ly ten times the value of the coin unit of vaIua

To Measure Fixed Stars.

Prot Holden communicates to a San Francisco paper what he calls the very important discovery lately made at the Lick observatory by Prof. Campbell. 1t is an ingenious method for measur- ing the dimensions of the fixed stars In many cases the method is so deli cate and beset with so many difficult ties that success is doubtful; but Prof. Campbell has found one star on which he has made successful observations. They are directed to the lengths of the bright lines in the spectrum, which in- dicate respectively the height to which each substance eXtendS-not difficult in the solar spectrum; but it was en- tirely unexpected to find a bright line spectrum in the star under observation surrounded by an atmosphere of hydro gen gas of such enormous extent as to be measurable. Prof. Holden declares the discovery to be entirely unique and to open az entirely new field of knowl- edge.

Sealing Wax still Used in France.

In France sealing wax has by no means gone out of use as a conse- quence of the introduction of gummed envelopes. There is even sort of code or language of sealing wax among fashionable people. White sealing wax is chosen for communica- tions relating to weddings, black for obituaries, violet for expressions of sympathy, chocolate for invitations to dinner, red for business, ruby for en- gagged lovers letters, green for letters from lovers who live in hopes, and brown for refusals of offers of mar riage, while blue denotes constaucy, yellow jealousy, pale green reproaches, and pink is used by young girls and gray between friends.
