1t Was a Great System,

An incident at the race track re-
minded James Rowe, the Jockey
club starter, of a scene which once
took place in the office of August
Belmont, the banker and owner OF
famous race horses. The incident it
self was trivial, but the story which
it led Rowe to tell was characteristic
Of two classes Of people who fol

When Rowe was Mr.. Belmont's
trainer, he was in the bankers pri-
vate Office one day telling him about
some horses when the card was
brought i'll of a man who sent in he
had some important information to
give concerning racing.
"Who is the man" Mr.. Belmont
asked of Rowe. Il have never heard
of him.
"Oh, he's a harmless fellow who
goes to the races answered Rowe.
"Wen, said Mr. Belmont to the
boy who had brought in the card,
"show him in
Mr.. Belmont" said the visitor,
when be had entered, Il have some
thing here which will interest you.
He then proceeded to explain a sys-
tenn which he had devised for beat
ing the races" The banker listened
attentively to everything that he had
to say, noted carefully the eXplana
tons and scanned with interest the
tables of figures which the Other
showed him. He allowed him to talk
for half an hour, while Rowe watch
ed the scene in wonder. At the enc
of that time Mr.. Belmont touched
bell and a clerk entered.

Sticklers for Etiquette.

The United States supreme justices
are great sticklers for etiquette, and
their extraordinary dignity has af-
forded many bright attorney who
has appeared before them at Wash
ington the opportunity to give them
a quiet dig. A Detroit attorney re-
lates an episode which will show how
punctilious a United States supreme
justice may be. The attorney APP
peared before Chief Justice Fuller.
Il trust, your honor, the case may
not be delayed, y said the attorney,
referring to the matter which called
him to Washington.
Delayed, sir1' calculated the chief
justice.
Eyes, your honor. There is much
at stake pending the decision. Ihope
the case will not be delayed"
Delayed, SIR repeated the chief
justice. There can be no delay.
You mean you hope your case will
not be deferred.
THAT is what | intended to imply
and thought | had implied"
VERY good, sir Your case will
not be deferred. "-Detroit Free Press

Nursery Hints.

If necessary, burn candles, wear oilcloth
floor coverings and bare windows, reduce
the meat expense and discharge the hired
girl, but give the baby and each child IA
bed to himself Have the sleeping room
cool and clean and as bare of furniture as
oell. See that the clothing of the little
sleeper is loose at the neck, waist and
arms, and keep his head uncovered. If
there is anything young animals cannot do
without it is fresh air. and babies get less
than any other class Through the pores
of the skin the body is continually throw
Ing off poisonous vapors If the head is
covered with the bedclothing, the unfor-
tunate infant will be breathing bad air
Fashion or no fashion, it is cruel shame
to trim or starch babies clothing.
The average child suffers from overfeed-
ing and over ressing Let him learn to be
a trihe hungry. Don't take him for a
tamale or clam and keep him in a stew all
the time, Half the time the child cries he
wants fresh air or fresh water Wiping the
lips of crying baby with cool water will
often soothe and refresh him. Boston Her

To Repair Mirrors.

For repairing mirrors accidentally
scratched clean the bare portion of the
glass by rubbing it gently with fine cotton,
taking care to remove any traces of dust
and grease. If this cleanh is not done
very carefully, defects will appear around
the place repaired.
With the point of a knife cut upon the
back of another looking glass portion of
the slvering of the required form, but a
little larger. Upon it place a drop of mer-
oury-a drop the size of a pins head will
be sufficient for a surface equal to the size
of a nail. The mercury spreads immedi-
ately, penetrates the amalgam to where it
was cut off with the knife, and the required
piece may now be lifted and removed to the
place to be epaired. This is the most diff
cult part of the operation. Then press
lightly the renewed portions with cotton,
and the glass presents the same appearance
as when new.

Three Kinds of Corpuscles in Blood.

Besides the red and white blood cor
pusclcs--the only two described by the
average hysiologist-there is a third
kind in the blood of mammals, but the
exact nature of its elements is not
as yet fully understood 1t was 1 1 years
ago 1SS3) that Professor Bizzozero first
made known the existence of this third
element in the blood (see Smithsonian
report for 1888, page 1850, and the ma
jority of physicians and writers on
physiology have not yet learned that
such a discovery has ever been made.
This new corpuscle is a colorless lens
shaped disk, very minute, being scarce
ly one-half the size of the red corpuscles,
and wholly destitute of hemoglobin.
Bizzozero says that they are especially
interesting on account of their supposed
physiological relations. 1t is claimed by
our eminent authority that they are the
chief factors in coagulation and that
ibrin is derived from their disintegra.
ton. This view is entirely different
from those previously enunciated, which
chiefly referred the fibrin to the break
ing down Of the white corpuscles.
Recent investigation OH the blood of
birds and amphibians reveals homol-
ogous element with the newly differen-
tiated corpuscle-pale indicated blood
plates, whose functions are similar tc
the third blood corpuscle in mammals.

Sunlight on Paint.

"An inexperienced person might
think the paint on the outside OF a
building would soon be worn by eX-
posture as much III one place as an
other" says a Maine brush handler,
"but that is not true. Exposure to
the weather Injuries paint but very
little. 1t is the sunlight that does the
business, though of course the winds
and rains assist it. Wherever the
suns rays strike painted surface IN
the middle of the day, the life of the
paint is very soon destroyed, and 1t
crumbles away. We house painters
always find the south side of build
ing in the worst condition, and the
north side the least worn. The west
side, receiving as it does the force OF
the dry winds, is always more worn
than the east side. Another point
may be worth your readers knowing.

How Beetles Defends Themselves.

Beetles have other defenses than
their cuirass, such as nauseous or
caustic liquids which they expel on
provocation, and, strange to say, Mr..
Cuenot has found that certain beetles
actually eXude their blood, charged
with noxlous products. So far he
finds the practice confined to the
chrysomelidR, some of the timarch@
and adamonia, the coccinelidD and
the meloid@. The blood of the COO
cinelidB has a strong disagreeable
odor like that of the whole insect.
That of the timarchB is odorless, but
has an astringent flavor, and in the
case of the TimarchD primeliodes is
venomous. The blood of the meloide
contains much cantharidine.-London

According to an eminent medical
authority, it has recently been assert
ed that the human being has little or
no Independent use Of the toes. The
medical scientist who is said to be re-
sponsible for such remarkable
statement is taken quite sharply to
task for his assertions, and the sub
ject has been up for discussion in for
eign medical journals. Possibly Eng
lish toes are less useful than Ameri-
can, for certain it is that there are
many persons in our communities
who are quite handy, so to speak,
with these members. One woman
frequently picks up articles with her
toes, finding this preferable to stoop-
ing, and she does it with the utmost
ease.
A girl can almost sustain her own
weight by clinging to a rope with
her toes. Another can spread her
toes apart and give sharp pinches
when she closes them. A small boy,
who could not climb out upon the
limb of a cherry tree to reich the
coveted fruit, as the limb would not
bear his weight, extended himself
upon one above it, and letting his
feet hang over pulled the small
branches with his toes and trans
ferred them to his hands almost as
readily as he might have passed
them from one hand to the other
AS to the part the toes play in walk
ing, it seem to go without saying
that persons who have not injured
the feet by the use Of i'll fitting or too
small shoes are largely dependen
for elegance Of carriage upon The
elasticity and muscular strength o
this portion of the feet.-N. Y. Ledger

Dress and Size.

An attribute Of color nearly always
unrecognized in dress is in it's relation to
size. The optical effect of white is to en-
large objects; that of black to diminish
them. Consequently for big stout woman
to array herself in white is as fatal to grace
and elegance as it is mistake for thin
illiputian woman to dress in black. If it
were not economically impossible in a city
of smoke and dirt for the inhabitants to
clothe themselves in white both in summer
and winter, it would be worth the serious
attention of sanitarians to try to bring
about so desirable and hygienic a change

MISCELLANY,
Night.

night is the time for rest:
How sweet, when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repose,
stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head
Down on our own delighted bed
Night is the time for dreams;
The gay romance Of life,
when truth that is, and truth that seems,
Mix in fantastic strife;
All visions less beguiling far,
Than waking dreams by daylight arel
Night is the time to weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of Memory, where sleep
The joys of other years;
Hopes, that were Angels at their birth,
But died when young, like things of earth.
Night is the time to watch:
DER oceans dark expanse,
To hail the Pleiades, or catch
The fun moons earliest glance,
That brings into the homesick mind
All We have loved aud left behind.
Night is the time for care;
Brooding on hours misspent,
To see the spectre of Despair
Come to our lonely tent;
Like Brutus, midst his slumbering host,
Summoned to die by Caesars ghost.
Night is the time to think
When from the eye, the soul
Takes flight; and on the utmost brink
OF yonder starry pole
Discerns beyond the abyss of night
The dawn of uncreatCd light
