! brothers, by Robinson d. q. TX and owned
by Jascn Russell, Buckfield, have win

Knox, both by Warrener.
Mr.. Edw. Fletcher of Portland, has en-
tered his fast bay gelding westgleamland
by Westland, 2.29l2 in stakes and purses
for the present season aggregating nearly
$4,000. Westgleamland has done but
little on the turf since he was in his fine
and fast three-ycar- old form. He is now
six years old and in excellent condition.

three year old race record of 22S1z, is at
the Taylor stable, Portland. Palm was

"Hod" Nelson hitched up old Gretch-
en-, the dam of the famous Nelson, tie
other day-the first time in four years that
the old mare has had harness on her
back. She is 90 years of age and her hair
has grown long in places, giving her any
thing but neat appearance. Nelson
found this wonderful old mare at an ad-
ministrators' sale 90 years ago, ut Vassal-
boro. Sho has speed and good style, but
the particular thing that impressed itself
on Nelson's mind was her far-reaching
gait, which she impaired to the famous
son. At one time Gctchen was Mrs. Mel
sons family carriage horse, but she now
lives in luxury in box stall.
Mr. Irving W. Rowe of Portland, has
just bought from Mr.. John D. Murray the

Accompanying this sketch is the portrait
of Gen. Andreas Avelino Caceres, the de-
posed President of Peru. The rebellion
which has convulsed the republic for a
year past has ended with the forming Of
a provisional government with representa-
tives Of both factions. Ex-President Ca
ceres was born in the city Of Ayacucho,
Nov. 10, 1886, and has been in the Peru
Wan military service since his eighteenth
year. In 1885 he overthrow Dictator
Iglesias who had been placed in power by
the Chilians, and the following year was
elected president He served four years
and was succeeded by General Bermudez.
General Bermudez died year ago and
General Caceres, then second vice presi-
dent, was proclaimed Dictator, and elected
President May 10. This was unsatisfac-
tory to certain factions who thought that
first vice president, Pedro del Solar,
should succeed to the presidency. Hence
the revolution which has resulted in the
overthrow of President Caceres.

A technical paper is authority for
the statement that, though the knowl-
edge of the main or essential process in
manufacturing "steel tapes" is treated
still as a trade secret, the following
particulars, which are of more gen
eral mechanical character, pertain to
the operation: After the rolled ribbons
have been tempered and ground, in
quantities from one to two dozen at a
time, they are laid upon an iron table
fifty feet long which has a standard
on each side, the standards being of
government length at 81 degrees Fab. !;
on this table the ribbons are placed in
lines parallel to the standards, being
made fast at one end, and a strain Of
twelve pounds under spring balance
APPLIED at the other; they are then print
ed with wash or varnish not affected
by acid, and finally etched in a diluted
nitric acid bath, the graduation as COW
cred by the wax being left in the orig
inal surface of the tape.

replied the niece, with slight blush.
'Vandeely," said Miss Sheldon, after
another keen glance over her specta-
cles, ''hev you ever sent any sech ques-
lions to one O. them papers?"

right on to me. Why, there's woman
here wants to know whatll kill ants,
an keep 'em out of her sugar bucket
an so on; an they've give her a re-

HOW TO WALK.
The Proper Length of Step Twice the
Length of the Foot.

The Proper Length OF a Step Twice the
Length of the Foot.
A Delsarte teacher, who is peculiar in
knowing something of nelsarte's sys-
TEN of expression. says that women
can improve their walk without
teacher, though they can't learn about
walking from print. The proper length
of the step is twice the length of one
foot, and it is measured from the hol-
low of one foot to the hollow of the
other. Now. take piece of tape and
sew on it bits of flannel at intervals
twice the length of one of your feet,
stretch II across the longest room you
have al your disposal and you are ready
for practice. Maybe you don't know
that each foot should cross the same
line with each successive step2 1t
should-that is very important, so now
you must walk your tape and set one
foot and then the other right over one
Of these bits of flannel letting the fan
mel come just under the instep. Do this
and turn your toes out well. and swing
your leg from the thigh, and you are
far on the road TO a beautiful walk.

where Thev Lett Their clothes.

A wise little thinker of years, hav-
ing been taught that the body was but
the clothing for this world, made a
touchingly pretty remark short time
ago. Walking with her father through
the village cemetery, pointing to the
graves, she asked wonderingly: What
are these for?" Her father, some
what puzzled what to say, answered:
They belong to the people WHO have
gone to heaven" "To the angels ?"
YES" "Ahr commented the little
one, this is where they left their
clothes.''
