LONDONS BIG WHEEL GOING
1t Is Thirty-siX Feet Higher Than Was
the Ferris Wheel.

Three hundred feet from the ground
rises the great wheel which English en-
gineers have been at work upon for
nearly two years. and which is now in
daily operation. It is in the exhibition
grounds at lGarl's Court. where it forms
the 10 ost striking feature of the Empire
of India exhibition.
This wheel is thirty-six feet higher
than the Ferris Wheel at the World s
Fair, after which in was modeled. 1t is
built to carry 1,600 passengers. and it is
expected to earn a lot of money this sum-
mer. There are forty carriages sus-
pended around the edge of this immense
steel and iron fabric. Thirty of these are
ordinary cars and five others are for
smokers.
The other five cars are used by first
class passengers, who object to riding
with the motley crowd, and are willing
to pay sixpence or a shilling for the priv
ilege of sitting on cushioned seats. The
axle of the wheel weighs tittythree tons,
and is forty feet in length, requiring deli
cato handling to drop it into its place l50
feet above the ground.
The great towers on either side of the
wheel are to be used for recreation pur-
poses. a ballroom is on top of each
tower, and there are three restaurants
built one above the other. where visitors
may eat and drink and watch the wheel
go round. magnificent view of Lon
don and its environs may be obtained
from the top of the wheel.

SARATOGA q. W, Aug. 16.-The Cali
fornia horses made great showing TO-
day. Baldwin's crack Rey FL Santa
Anita captured the rich Merchants
stakes, valued at 81, 500. from the great
race horse Clifford. This was surprise,
as it was thought the Eastern equine was
invincible. but the coast flyer outfooted
him handily. Only two started, the rest
retiring before the gong sounded.
In the second race Crescendo, the prop
erty of Naglee Burke, ran second to Re-
ouittal. The son Of Flam beau has been
in the East for months. but for sundry
reasons has not been raced. He made his
debut at the Bay District track IN San
Francisco last spring, and his first race
was of q sensational character. breaking
away from a large field he finished
dozen lengths ahead of fleet sons OF Sir
Modred and other noble sires. The
track to-day was not in condition to test
satisfactorily Crescendo's racing quail
ties, but it is thought that be will fulfill
the expectations OF his admirers. SUM

Blanket the Horses.

Did you eve stop to think Of the val
j Of a blanket to the colt or work
horse? "What a foolish question:" I
can hear many farmers exclaim, fol-
owed by "a blanket is only for city
horses, 1 want my horses tough" My
friend, did you ever notice how much
more food 1t takes for you when it Is
cold and how much extra clothing you
put on? A horse is remarkably thin
skinned and in a draught Of the stable
Or a cold stall suffers acutely. His
food does him but little good when he
s in this condition. Much of it passes
through completely undigested and it
requires at least One-third more food

think Of the better appearance of the

A Good Winter Job,

Troughs can he made in the winter
as well as at another season, and 1t Is
a good rule that as little work of this
Kind as possible should be left for the
summer. An excellent trough may be
made from a log. If for feed, a large
log may be selected, and be SO split
as to give about three-ffths Of it for the
trough. For a feed trough can
make the shell thinner than Cor a
watering trough, and for the latter one
must be more careful 10 select a sound
piece of timber. AS younger tees are
more likely to be sound and N Ore dur
able than old ones, it is best to select
them for watering troughs. The sides
lay be cut down to a thickness of only
two inches, after the bark and a little
of the wood Immediately under it Is
removed, but the ends should be a foot
thick, and should be treated promptly
with hot oil, to prevent their cracking.
1t will pay to paint the trough inside
and out. Brown mineral paint is the
cheapest and best for the purpose.
For following out these troughs an
adze is almost essential. Don't at
tempt to make a watering trough OF
planks unless you arc at least handy
with tools.', 1t is better to bolt than
to nail the planks together, using rods
reaching across the trough.

THE FATAL COLONIAL CHAIR.
It's Effect Spoiled by an Unlucky
New Years Bill.

It's Effect Spoiled by an Unluclxy
New Years Bill.
It was New Years Day and the fair
Miss Snobberly was entertaining a call
err. The caller was a shining light in
the inner circles of society and a po-
tential aspirant for her hand.
ooh, Mr.. OLDHAM" she cried, taking
him to the end Of the room, "see the
darling old colonial chair which ar
rived yesterday from papa's ancestral
home in Vermont. Did you ever see
anything sweeter in your life?"
"Why, really, Miss ~Snobberly, it Is
a delightful bit Of furniture, and no
doubt full of the most interesting as
sociations."
Eyes, indeed; it belonged to an-the
founder Of papa's family in this coun-
try, and has cradled-no, 1 don't mean
that it has been used by all the sue
ceeding generations"
"How very interesting"
eyes; isn't it? TIC think Of my great
great-grandfather being sung to sleep
to the music Of some old Puritan
psalm in that very chair!!"
ut is, indeed, a valuable heirloom"
Eyes; and look;''her voice took in q
fresh tote of triun phi as she pointed
to the back, "look where deeply earv-
en- and black with age are the initials
of f. L. S., my Observation-Disclosures in
itials. Think, Mr.. OLDHAM, when those
letters were carved Americans still
prayed publicly for the king and the
royal family, the battle of Bunker
Hill was yet undreamed of and"
"Maria." said the voice, "I've just
been looking over these New Years
oils, and here's one l don't understand;
10 one exact reproduction of colonial
chair. $40 That's all right, Of course;
1 oppose it's that old junk shop affair
in the front parlor-though why you
wanted to buy a thing that looks old
when 1 can afford brand new ones I
don't understand. But it's this item
that puzzles me: "To carving three
letters on the back, and producing the
appearance of age, So Now, l."
But Mr.. OLDHAM heard no more; he
had caught his breath sufficiently to
tell Miss Snobberly that he had a lot
more calls to make and must bid her
good afternoon.
