When We Read of Some of
 These Wonderful Thinus.

Miss Bessie l.. Putnam Il well known and popular young lady residing on the Lowell road. Lawrence. Mass. has just had very narrow escape from death
 Two years ago." she says. T found was beginning to be very nervous and that the least excitement would bring on fit of hysteria from which 1t took me two or three hours to recover. My nerves got in such bad condition that some days would cry for hours and then have laughing spell
 ''I was completely unstrung and could do nothing about our place. My stomach began to trouble mo and could not keep anything on it. From woman weighing l62 pounds found myself re- duced to a shadow and was so feeble that I could hardly dress myself.
 "I tried several physicians but they did not seem to be able to do anything to relieve me. really thought my days were numbered, and in fact made every preparation for my death, as l fully ex- pected to die within short time.

Polo,
From Harper's Weekly


 There is very little of polo these days and that little is pretty poor; it is a long time since more indifferent form has been seen than that exhibited by the second teams of the RockaWaY and Meadow Brook clubs in their recent match. the former winning, II goals to 5h. Messrs. Conover, Stowe, Myers and Alden played for Rocka way, and Messrs. Eustis, McCrary Roby and Kennedy for Meadow Brook. In a slow game, with very little team work and Meadow Brook entirely at sea, Stowe played probably the best-at least he did not get flustered; Myers ponies were good-that much can be said of him; Kennedy played really brilliant for periods of few short mo- ments; at other times he struggled with the dust. As for the rest, they all played rather poor polo, and I should not comment on the match except to re- peat and emphasize my criticism on the clubs, which are neglecting the devel- opment and encouragement of their second-class material. The men need it badly enough, as Saturdays game showed.
 Much is expected of the tournament at Newport under the auspices of the Westchester club, which begins this week, to continue until September l. The first Meadow Brook and Rockaway teams are quite certain to meet again, and the chances are even that the for mer will show up in greatly improved form over. that shown in their last match with Rockaway, when they were signally routed. Myopia, too, is looked upon as certain to make strong bid for the cups Everyone hopes at least that we shall see better play than the tournament developed last year.

BOYS OF POyERTY GAP.
Now They Use Mud for Pies Instead of for
 MfssiIes.


 Jacob A. Riis. whose studies of the poor in great cities have attracted much attention, writes an article on Fairgrounds for City Schools" for the September number of the Century. While this has particular reference to New York city, 1t is applicable in a measure to all large cities. MT. Riis says there is only one public school in New York city that has regular play ground and that was not acquired for the purpose. It is in the heart of the tenement district and was an old grave yard which had to be purchased by the authorities to prevent the shutting out of the light from the school.
 It may have been a mere coincidence that the rough gang of boys that used to disgrace the block on Second avenue and occasionally did much mischief, has not been heard from snice the old graveyard became playground, writes Mr. Riis. It is fact, anyhow. and my experience with Poverty Gap makes me feel quite certain that there Is con nection between the two things. Over there it used to be impossible to go through the block without being pelted with mud by the ragamuffins, who very early developed into toughs of pecu- liarly vicious stamp. They half-killed two policemen, and out of sheer malice n ha ho1y i,, ho with good reputation. The neigh borhood was as desolate as it was des- perate, but when the wicked old tene- mets were torn down and public play ground was opened on the site of them with swings and sand heaps and wheel barrows and shovels, the whole neigh. borhood changed as, if by magic. There were no more outrages. I don't believe heard once from Poverty Gap that year through the police. Even man with spectacles might go undisturbed through the block. The boys had found other use for the mud. AS an ingredi- ent of pies it was a great persuader to peace, whereas in the gutter it had been standing challenge to combat with society at large. All the wicked ness that remained in Poverty Gap spent itself in the name it gave the playground. Holy Terror Park, # But it was harmless. Unfortunately the park is gone. The building of the "Wayfarers Lodge' wiped it out in part. There is room yet, however, and rare chance for some public-spirited citizen to do his day and his generation Gall but the police reporteD a good turn.

CIDER SEASON Is EARLY.
Those Mills Run by Water In Poor shape
 to Take Advantage of It.

to Take Advantage of It.
 The making Of cider for present use" and vinegar has begun. and from now on for several weeks the boys of the agricultural districts will not need jalap and such stun. The regular sea son of cider making does not begin un- til, about October 15. but owing to the large number of windfalls due to the early ripening of the fruit the farmers are putting them to good use for vine gar purposes.
 During warm weather 1t is impossl- ble to keep the apple juice sweet for any length of time. and in addition the proportion of acid is so much greater than that of sugar In carly apples that the tendency to turn quickly to vine- gar is much greater than in the late apples. Even if 1t was not the excess of acid makes the cider much inferior for drinking purposes to that made from the late apples.
 Contrary to last springs expecta- tlona, the prospects for an abundant crop of cider apples are very good The storms which occurred during the bud ding period created havoc among the grafted trees, however. and the fruit from these trees. authorities say. will be scarce and high priced hereabouts this year.
 The owners of cider mills operated by water power are looking with anxiety at the lowness of the water in their ponds and hoping that ere the cider making season really begins the sup ply of water may be increased by rain. In many ponds the water has not been so low for years, and unless there should be generous rainfall within few weeks many of those who depend largely upon their water wheels for their yearly incomes will be caught at serious disadvantage.
 A number of cider mill owners. profit ing by the experiences of past years. have substituted steam power for the uncertain turbine wheel, and are look ing forward with entire complacency to the seasons work.

Teaching Colts to Back.

S. B. Smith, who has been a horse- trainer for forty years, gives his meth
 cd in the Breeders Gazette of teaching colt to back, a matter he thinks is
 very much neglected by trainers. His plan is to draw the lines through the lug strap and stand behind him and a
 little to one side, so that when you pull rein it will draw across his quar- ter. Then give him a firm, strong pull, partly backward and partly to one side, saying Back" as you do it, and instantly let up. The pull should be about half way between a twitch or jerk and a steady pull. If you did 1t right his head went little one way and his hind end was turned little, So he was pulled, perhaps, one-eighth of the way round. Now go to his head, stroke and caress him, and If conven- lent give him from your hand some- thing he will like to eat. Now step back and pull him the other way, start. ing from loose rein and pulling just hard enough to pull him around a little, letting up at once 50 as not to have the rein tight more than half second at a time, saying "Backr' at the same instant you give the pull. He will re- spond to the pull just as soon as he learns that the rein loosens when he yields to it. Now step directly behind him and pull the same as before, only use both reins instead of one. Never tighten the rein upon him when he is backing, but let him understand that 1t will loosen when he backs; and he will back for you every time. Some are a little slower than others in taking the lesson, and asilttle more time may be necessary for them to acquire 1t

Dallas, Tex. Dec. iT.--John Nelly
Bryan. Jr.. gives out that he is about
to Institute legal proceedings for the
possession of the county courthouse
property. on the ground that tho pur-
pose for which it was decided 20 the
county by his father. John Neciy Bryan
sr.. has not been strictly carried out
Away back in 1850. when Dallas was
on a footing as regarded population,
business and prospects with Lisbon,
Lancaster and two or three other
places In the county. the question OF
tho location of the county seat came
up And the competition among Dali
las, Lisbond and Lancaster for the
courthouse was sharp and spirited. and
the chances were for some time de-
cldedly In favor OF Lancaster. But
John Nicely Bryan. who was at the
time president OF the board OF com
missioners, wishing to see Dallas, his
home, win, decided TO the county tho
land on which the court house Is To-
Gated and other town property. og-
gregating 90 lots. on condition that the
court house be located here.
Now comes John Nicely Bryan, Jr.,
son OF John Nicely Bryan,srY and claims
that the deed by which his father con-
veyed the property to the county FOR
the courthouse expressly stipulates
that II the property should ever be
used for any other purpoee or purposes
than for county court house site.
such use shall operate as forfeiture
OF the conveyance and the property
shall revert to his heirG.
The deed In question Is ON flc at
Austin and no copy OF u IS Of record
here, but Mr. Bryan has recently been
20 Austin to examine the instrument,
and after such examination ho feels
warranted In bringing the suit.
