Poisoning Race Horses.

1t nay well be boast of the Amerf-
can turf that the practice OF getting
att a race horse has never been very
common here, and it is row several
wears since the last well authenticated
case of poisoning occurred at Saratoga
This recalls the fact that the Engllsh
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 prln-
cipal in the matter escaped on a techm-
cality, but was rearrested ON another
charge of horse poisoning and was
eventually hanged.
The ST. Leger favorite OF 1881,
horse named Marcus, was poisoned on
the day before the race. He was Just
able to run, but finished last and dice
soon afterward. The perpetrator wa'
never discovered.
Even more sensational was the no
cusing'' of Lanercost, the first wlnne
of the Cambridgeshire, who was In lo4'
considered a certain winner OF the As
cot cup. He was poisoned, but, llk'

REIGN OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
An Assurance That Future Wsrs must
Have Reasonable Grounds.

An Assurance That Future Wars Must
Have Reasonable Grounds.
We are frequently told by cynical
critics that democracy is on its trial,
but when the democracy demands the
abolition of standing armies, or urges
a mutual disarmament, says the West
minister Review. it gives a good answer
To critics of this type. Such facts are suf-
ficient in themselves to enable US TO
contrast the blind and stagnant sell
fishness OF callous autOcrccies with the.
advance possible under broader forms
of government which stimulate the
progress of our race by putting the
destinies of humanity into It's own
hands. He have in such expressions OF
the popular voice an evidence OF
growing sense of moral and intel
lectual self-respect among the common
people of the nations of the world We
are coming to the time when The
peasant and the artisan viii inquire into
the merits of quarrel in which they
are ordered 10 sacrifice themselves
They may refuse to stand up and be
shot down without asking question,
ana not I've 50 easily lea away pN aI-
peals to that spurious patriotism which
has ever been the device by means Of
which ambitious mouarchs and willy
statesmen have sought to make their
uuarrels those of the communities.
Hitherto we have had democracy in
name rather than in fact The way IN
which the savings and doings Of mon
archs and statesmen are ehronicled by
the press: the manner in which such
people have been allowed IN act with
out question upon affairs Of the gravess
concern to humanity; the extent 10
which they have been able TO eount
upon the support OF the people IN any
war they might resolve upon; the lev
ity often shown by them toward the
interests OF the people-without whose
support the most powerful among them
would be reduced 10 the level OF common
clsy-in such matters we have proof OF
the extent t. which we are still gov
erned by men whose chief claim TO gov

Was Responsible for the Fact That Ten
nyson's .sTimbuctoo" Got tho Prize.
Mr. James Pawn tells an amusing
story of the way in which Tennysons
Timbuctoo" won its prize at the uni
versity, saws the New York Tribune
The examiners for the year were
three-the vice chancellor, who had
great reputation but a violent temper
and did not write very well; classical
professor who knew no poetry that was
not in dead language, and a mathe-
NAUTICAL professor. II was agreed that
each should signify by the letters "g"
and ''b" for good" and "bad'') what
he thought of the poems and the vice
bad the manuscript first.
When the mathematical professor
got them he found ''Timbuctoo" scored
ell over with ''g's," and though he
could not understand why, nor indeed
the poem itself, and did not think it
worth while as he afterward said; the
the fact was that he was afraid to ask
the vice his reasons. SO he wrote g" on
the poem also. The classical professor
thought it rather funny that both his
predecessors should admire SO unintel-
ligible a production; but, as he said,
"he did not care one iota about the
matter" and SO wrote ''g" on 1t also;
and as no other poem had three "g
the prize was unanimously awarded to
the author of ''Timbuctoo."
After all was over the three examin-
ers happened to meet one day and the
vice, in his absolute fashion, fell 10
abusing the other two for admiring
the poem. They replied very natu-
rally and with some indignation that
they should never have dreamt of adj
miring it if he himself had not scored
it over with 'g's." ''G's," he said,
they were 'q's' for queries, and 1
could not understand two consecutive
1 lines of it,"
Mr.. Pawn says that there was C.
queer resemblance between himself
and another Trinity man. Not only
was often addressed by persons who
took me for him, but people used to
ask, apropos of nothing, whether L
knew So-and-So. ] remember making
a considerable impression on n chance
passenger in a railway train on the
/ Cambridge line, who was staring at
me rather hard, by suddenly observ-
| ing: No, sir. / do not know Mr.. So
and-So.' 1t had been the very ques-
/ ton he was going to ask me, but my
anticipation of it seemed to him so un-
canny that he got out at the next
station"

THE WASP'S MISSION.
Il Is an Insect That Has Its Usefulness
In Life.

In Lie.
Most people, especially those who
have been brought into contact with
The wrong end of one. will be disposed
20 doubt the utility of the wasp, that
handsome insect that creates SO much
terror when il invades our rooms or
buzzes about our heads in country
.anes. Yet really even the wasp has
its use, and naturalists tell us it plays
, very important part i'll the economy
Of nature, says Golden Days.
What hawks, kites. ravens, owls and
birds of prey generally are in the case
Of tield-mice and other small destruc-
tive animals, the wasp is to the grubs
md other pests that injure plant life.
The wasp is very useful, particularly
IN orchards. The young pupe in the
nest are fed entirely on the grubs
which infest the fruit trees, and but
for the activity of the wasp these pests
would become so numerous as 10 do
serious injury to the tree.
1t is quite true that the wasp also
levies toll upon the fruit, but, as his
labors have contributed largely 10 the
salvation of the crop, that portion
which he eats should not be grudged
him.
1t should be understood that wasp
IS quite harmless, unless it is forced TO
defend itself; then it is undoubtedly
violent. and makes free use OF the
weapon which nature has given 1t TO
use in fighting its enemies
But, if you leave it alone, a wasp viii

safer not to let it get too near you, lest
it mistake you for an enemy, with no

Int frops' legs are a regular item on
the bills of fare in first-class city hotels
and restaurants, and considera BILE in
dustry in supplying them for the mar
llet has sprung up.
Often necessity is required to teach
people that they have good things to
eat which ordinarily they do not touch.
A camping expedition of young men on
a northern lake ran out of provisions
and found the fish in the lake insult
ficient for their wants. They had no
firearms with which to shoot wild
game. At the lower end of the lake,
basking on some old logs, were hum
dreds of fine. fat frogs.
lmpelled by hunger, the boys fell
upon these frogs, and for several days
lived delicately and well on a diet OF
which frogs legs constituted the prln-
eipal item. All the members OF that
party are now fully aware that frogs
are good to eat.
Recently a French missionary IN
Indo-China. Rev. Father Guerlach, has
made the discovery that toads are also
good to eat Reduced by necessity to
resort to toad-fesh, he found it no less
palatable and nutritious than the
frog.
Most people" says Father Guerlach,
in his journal recently published,
would die of hunger rather than eat
a toad, which, is nevertheless, l beg
YOU to believe. an excellent food.
Whenever | could procure toads, was
able to give myself banquet. But In
France, your prejudices prevent you
from knowing and using what is
good"
However, Paris journal affirms that
the cookery of toads has made some
little progress in France. Nothing Is
better, this journal says, than dish
made of the backs and legs of toads-
with the skin first carefully removed,
Ii needs hardly to be said.
The popular fables about the poison
Gus character of toads are nowadays
not much believed 1t is true that the
toad is protected from carnivora by
the acrid secretions of his warty skin,
but these are irritating rather than
poisonous, and not always that.
Toads, however. are of great service to
man, and it is to be hoped that it will
not become fashionable to eat them.
