GOOD DAY FOR MUD RACERS. TALENT STRIKE SOME LONG SHOTS AT THE
CRESCENT CITY RACES.


 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.-Threatenn ng weather made the attendance very light at the track today and there were only little over Z000 people present. The first race was run at 80 o'clock and the first shower of rain fell as the flag went down in the second breakaway of the first race. The rain ceased just before the second race was called, but the track was heavy and re- mained so throughout the evening.
 It was an even thing between the talent and bookies in the betting, with the talent having an odd the best of it on the strength of calling threeIof the five winners. The rail birds hit the bookies on Leona's Last, as they pumped in all they could get on her before sbe was chalked down to to 1 at which she closed.
 David in the third race was a good crack for the boys at 15 to 1 in the opening pools, closing at odds of to l.
 The first race was Il walkover for Black Hawk, who was given four lengths at the start by Pettingill.
 The third race had but six entries and was an easy thing for David, who showed himself good mud horse.
 The scratches today were Dollie, Nica- ragua, Dick White and Cyrus in the sec- ond, Ben Roy in the fourth and Tippeca- noe and Bob Campbell iu the fifth.
 First race, three quarters of mile, sell ing-Black Hawk, 105 (Penn), even, won Miss Gallop, 108 (Knight), 1 to 1, second Miss Clark, 106 0. McDonald), 8 to l !, third. Time, 1:16h.

 Third race, five-eighths of mile, handi- cap-David, 1o2 (McCue), s to l, won; Red Top, 102 U. Gardner), to 1, second; Ras- per-, 1l6 tCassin), even, third. Time, 1:03A.

rhe oueen uates New clothee.

Will it be a comfort to the lounger to know that the empress of all tho Indies and high and mighty ruler of the British empire abhors new clothes, tight shoes and innovations of every description that hamper case? Well, it is fact. If the court shoemaker can be believed, the queen goes about in the morning without any corsets or crimps, wearing loose black silk wrapper and pair of slippers that are run down at the heels. Most peo- pie give away their old clothes, but she gives her new boots and new gowns to charity and hangs on to the tried and comfortable pets of her wardrobe. She takes breakfast at s:80 o'clock every morn- ing in the year, and when at Balmoral two magnificent Scotch laddies, in plaids and kits, play the bagpipes while she takes her coffee and cake. Coffee and cake for breakfast, however, is quite,Ger- man, and not Scotch. There are four pipers in all, and they alternate when her majes-l tvs ear is tuned for the windy strains toi which she is very partial. New York Home Journal.

 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: "I consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of its manufacture is perfect.

ALL ABOUT HOW WE WALK.
Muscles Used ard the Mechanical Worn
They DO.

The chief muscles concerned in walk.
ing are those Of the calf and back Of the
leg. which, by pulling up the heel, also
pull up the bones OF the foot connected
with 1t, and then the whole body, the
weight Of which is passed on through
the bones Of the leg.
When walking the trunk is thrown
forward, 30 that it would fall down
PROSTATE were not the right foot plant
ed in time to support it.
The calf muscles are helped in this
action by those on the front of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk slantiug
forward when the heel is raised by the
cali muscles, the whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and upward.
This advancement of each leg is eff
fected partly by muscular action, the
muscles used being (1) those on the
front of the thigh, bending it forward
on the pelvis; (2) the hamstring mus
Giles, which slightly bend the leg on the
thigh; 90 the muscles on the front OF
the leg. which raise the front of the foot
and toes, preventing the latter in swing
ing forward from hitching in the
ground.
When one foot has reached the ground
the action of the other has not ceased.
There is another point in walking.
The body Is constantly supported and
balanced on each leg alternately, and,
therefore on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throwing
the enter of gravity over the line OF
support formed by the bones of each
leg as it supports the weight of the
body.
This is done in various ways and
hence the differences in the walk OF diff.
iereut people.
There may be slight rotation at the
hip joint, bringing the center of gravity
Of the body over the foot of this side.
This rocking" motion OF the trunk and
thigh is accompanied by a movement
OF the whole trunk and leg over the foot
planted on the ground, and is accom-
panied by a ~compensating outward
movement at the hip.
The body rises and swings alternate
ly from one side to the other as its cen
ter of gravity comes alternately over
one or the other leg, and the curvature
OF the spinal bones is altered with the
varying position of the weight. --Lon-
