English Horse Exports.

In spite of the imports from Poland,
Finland, Holland and even America and
the pony trade with the Baltic, our ex-
port of horses enormously exceeds the
imports in value. A three years total
gives GO, ,532, 900 of exports as against
ESQ.,, 900 of imports, and the quality and
price of English horses rise steadily.
The imports do not include those from
Ireland, which until recently supplied
the entire Belgian army with remounts
and at present largely fill the ranks of
London cab horses. They fetch on the
average about e30 apiece, and as new
hanson cab costs e100 the hirer enjoys
the temporary use of a capital of e130
and the services of the driver. But the
number of cabs steadily decrease, and
from the horses point of view this de-
cline is hardly to be deplored. London

There is no telling what medical sci.
ence will do next. Mr.. Edward Shaw,
United States consul at Asuncion, Para.
quay, and son of the well known news.
paper correspondent, is here on leave of
absence and is at the Riggs House. Mr..
Shaw's legion of Washington friends
were shocked beyond measure when they
perceived upon greeting him that his
left eye was dull, whitish gray disk in
stead of sparkling mate for its hazel
companion.
"My eye became affected as you see it
from rheumatic iretis, said Mr.. Shaw to
a commiserating crony of former days
''But am here for treatment, and the
oculist assures me that will regain my
sight and have my eye restored to its
natural color or nearly so. The light
will be let in above the pupil, and the
color will be put there by means of tat
tooing. l know it sounds singular to
speak Of ones eye being tattooed, but

to mine, and have no doubt the opera.

stonewalI Jackson,s Bible.

Clay Whitley of Indianapolis was cor.
poral of the squad detailed to burn Gen.
eral Stonewall Jackson's residence al
Lexington, Va, in June, 1854. While
the Jackson house was burning Corporal
Whitley bethought himself to save some
relic, and he ran into the library, which
was even then in flames, and took out a
family Bible which had been presented
to Jackson by sister. This relic he pre-
served until recently, when he wrote to
the editor of The Southern Planter, Rich
mond, requesting Mrs. Jacksons address
and expressing wish to return the relic
to her keeping.
He has just received very kind note
from the widow of the Confederate
general expressing a most earnest solici-
tude for return of the souvenir, and
the book was forwarded to her by ex-
press. General Hunter was in command
at the time the order was executed, hav-
ing relieved General Franz Sigel on the

Petroleum Dor war YesseIs.

The time has come for a new de
parture in fuel. Petroleum oil ought
to be used. 1t is perhaps more ex-
pensive than coal, but an ironclad
can carry with oil 10 or II days fuel
where she could with coal carry only
four or five-days' fuel. Moreover,
the use of petroleum would enable
our war vessels to replenish their
supply Of fuel at sea, a thing impos.
sible with coal, from the difficulty of
handling. Ocean battles cannot be
fought by SO called battleships. tt Y
cannot go far from their base n
want of fuel endurance. These T.
ties will be fought by ocean crui ;,
which, if carrying a powerful q
besides quick firing guns, will give a
good account of many so called bat
tleships, such as those of the Camper
down and Inhexible type. .-Philadel-

A GhastIY Joke.

A CHASTITY joke was perpetrated the
other day in the old pOtter's field, Ports
mouth. An unknown young white man
had placed a box in an open grave,
blacked his face and hands, entered the
box and was covered with dirt by
friends, place being left for air. When
the cemetery hands came to remove the
bodies not already taken up, the dirt
was removed and the box containing the
joker opened. He then raised up, al
though nearly suffocated. With yell
the men fled in every direction, several
becoming unconscious from fright. Dur
ing the excitement the joker and his
friends escaped. .-Baltimo American.

No Hurry, For the Whisky Is Growing RET.
ter and the Gold No Worse.
Mr.. w. K. Smith of this city owns a
farm of some 300 acres on the west shore
of Sauvie's island. ON which there is said
to be treasure of 800 900 buried and
alongside of it a big trunkful of bottles
Of whisky. The particulars in regard to
the matter were learned from Mr.. Smith
himself few days ago on the steamer
Kellogg.
During the past winter, Mr. Smith
stated, some parties had been boring
holes all over his farm in search of
treasure buried there. The work had
been done at night, and the neighboring
farmers had seen the lanterns fitting
around the place and mistaken them for
ignus fatui.
The treasure, which is by some said to
be in a trunk and by others in tin cans.
was buried there back in the sixties bv a
stranger, who afterward had the mis-
fortune to get intothe state penitentiary.
and the further misfortune to drop dead
OF heart disease in a hotel in this CITY
soon after getting out of prison and be-
fore he had time to recover the gold,
which is mostly in $50 slugs. While in
the penitentiary this unfortunate man
revealed the secret of his treasure to his i
cellmate and also furnished him with
rude map of the ground, intended to show
where the treasure is located, the bear
ings of certain trees, stumps, etc., being
given as witness marks. This map does
not appear to be definite enough, as the !
fellows have been boring all over the
place till it begins to look like big pep
per box.
When asked why he had made no eff |
fort to recover this treasure himself, Mr.. |
Smith intimated that he had not been in
any need of the money, and as for the
trunkful of whisky, it was improving
with age and would keep best where it
is. The holes bored, he said, are inches
in dialneter and 90 feet in depth. He has
not decided whether he will fill them
with mold and raise lot of prize par
ships and horseradish for the exposition,
or whether he will have them pulled up
and welded into one deep artesian well.
He thinks the fellows have bored enough
holes to thoroughly ventilate his farm,
and intends to get the idea conveyed to
them that the treasure is buried under q
tree or stump, and expects thus to get
all the timber cleared off his place,
which he intends soon to have all under
cultivation. n.-Portland Oregonian.

Win the camera, or even the boy or girl
with u camera, does a good deal more
Ian that.
Since it has become possible to take in
tahtaneous pictures the use of the cam
10 IA has extended in every way. In Eng
anu few wee..s ago certain iron
bridge of one of the railways was sus-
pected of being unsafe. It looked all
right, but there were some reasons whv
the managers were afraid of it. Thev
could not decide themselves, and tbev
sent up to London for famous engineer
to come and look it over.
He came and was puzzled. too. until he
thought of way to test it. He took a
kodak and made a picture of the bridge
with no train upon it. Then he kept his
camera in position and waited for fast
train to come. Pretty soon an express
came laundering on, and just as the big
locomotive struck the bridge he pulled
open the slide and took second picture
on the same plate that still held the first.
When the plate was examined, the pic
ture with the train was found so much
below the other as to show what the en-
gineer and managers had feared-a dan
gerous droop to the bridge.-New York
Times.

Mahogany Paving Blocks.

The dealer in hardwood who tenderly
handles his stock of mahogany with kid
gloves for fear of losing a splinter now
and then will undoubtedly be shocked to
hear that mahogany is being used by the
Paris municipal council for roadways.
This sounds almost like dream of ori-
entail magnifcence, yet it is true. A pOr-
ton of the Rue Lafayette has been pulled
up, and workmen are laying down blocks
of real Brazilian mahogany of a fine
texture and color. 1t is, however, an
experiment, as mahogany is dearer than
other woods usually used for this pur-
pose, but it is expected that the extra
outlay will be more than compensated
by the greater durability of the mahog-

The Epyptian Temples Of Phile.

The Society for the Preservation of the
Monuments of Ancient Egypt protests
against the submersion of the island and
temples of Phile or the removal of the
latter, which would be involved were one
of the schemes to form a reservoir on the
Nile to be adopted. Mr.. Garstin, the
head of the public works department at
Cairo, realizes that any destruction of
the temples would be rightly considered
by the whole civilized world as an act of
barbarism, and he therefore suggests the
possibility Of removing them stone by
stone and rebuilding them under the d.
rection of the department of antiquities
upon the adjacent Bigen island, where
they would be above the level of the pro
posed reservoir.-Toronto Empire.
