REY DEL CARRIERS.


dlcd him with 1876 pounds in six furlons
race. and he again won, pulling up the
last sixteenth of mile, in 1:lo, beating
sprinters like Crescendo, Brandywine and
Ina as though they were no better than
third rate selling platers and giving them
many pounds of weight.
IN Oct. 10 he was beaten by p. j. Dwy-
er,s Handspring in the Billow stakes. Car
reres. however, carried 40 pounds, while
Handspring took much less. There was
some delay at the post and the flag fell
with Handspring off in front and Key del
Carreres not we'll in motion. In furlong,
however, the 3-year-old had swept to the
front. Handspring hung on ganely and
turning into the stretch he was at the lead
er's saddle skirts. There was q spirited
fight to the judges, but Rey del Carreres,
who has never yet failed to be beaten by
the horse that gets to his head, met his
customary fate and Handspring won by
a neck.
Jockey Taral, who ought to know, says
that the great Domino is "dog" COM

and he will, no doubt, hold on to him, al
though it is said that Croker has offered a
fabulous sum to have him in his string in
England. Even if Croker does not buy
him. it is moro than likely that he will be
shipped across the pond as the property Of
Baldwin and will be trained in Croker
stable. There are no doubt some fast
sprinters in England, but if they can trot
out one to beat this horse in the condition
he is in at the present time, he will be
what some people would term 'corker. ;"

A Lamp Extinguisher.

A Connecticut inventor has devised an
ingenious mechanism for extinguishing
with facility the light of kerosene burn
er. In this arrangement the act of turn
ing down the burning wick causes the de
vice to swing across the upper end of the
wick tube and wick automatically to ex-
tinguish the flame and at the same time
shut off the supply of oxygen Of the air,
and thus prevent the wick from smoking,
as well as preventing it, to great extent,
from being charred or crusted over.

Catching Shrimp In the South.

The Charleston gourmet is now JOY
ously feasting daily ON our own little
dish, the shrimp. There is hardly a
family i'll the city that does not have
this dainty little crustaccan served for
breakfast in some shape or form. When
the dark shades of night drop over the
harbor, the hardy shrimp men man
their little canoes, and with their cast
nets neatly arranged and ready to be
thrown they make for the long, dark
shores of marsh where their prey makes
its feeding grounds They have to wait
silently and patiently ON the edges of
the marsh until certain time of the
tide, when out come the shrimp in mil
lions, and out fly the heavy nets. and the
work commences.
The oarsmen pull Or punt OF paddle
along the shore, and the man with the
net keeps his eyes and ears open for the
ripple and sound of the sportive shrimp.
AS the shrimp moves through the water
he is beautiful sight. The most beau
tiful colors shine from his long body,
and his fan shaped tail stirs the phos-
phorescence and leaves behind him sub
dued trail of fire
When the usual quantity is caught
and the turning of the tide takes the
shrimp to other spots, the shrimpers
pull for the wharves to sell their spoil.
Long before daybreak the vendors, men
and women, are on hand with their
trays to get their mornings supply for
their numerous customers. The number
of these vendors can be safely put at 300.

Addison's Characteristics.

Addison is the very embodiment of
that delightful gift of humor on which
we pride ourselves so much as a special
ly English quality. That in it's way his
style is the perfection of English style
is less dear and delightful to us than
that what it conveys is the perfection of
feeling. His art is the antipodes of that
satirical art which allows human ex-
cellence only to grid at it and insinuate
motives which diminish or destroy. Ad-
Olson, on the other hand, allows imper-
fections which his Interpretation turns
into something sweeter than virtue and
throws delightful gleam of love and
laughter upon the eccentricities and
characteristic follies of individual ma
ture. That he sees everything is one of
the conditions of his genial forgiveness
of all that is not mean or base or cruel.
With these he makes no terms. -Mrs.

Indications In the Boys Life That Prove

Indications In the Boys Life That Prove
Prophetic of His Future.
Carlyle says that you can tell how a
man would do anything from the way
he sings. However this may be, it is
certainly true in nine cases out of ten
that you can tell what sort of man the
boy will make from seeing him at play
when obliged to stay indoors without a
companion. Lord (then plain William)
Armstrong, the famous engineer, was a
delicate boy, and one winter when 6
years old was confined to the house for
months. To amuse himself he set several
old spinning wheels in motion by
weights descending ON strings from top
to bottom of the house over the staircase
railing.
Friends and relatives brought mechan-
ical toys for the little prisoner, which
he at once pulled to pieces. 1t was not
satisfactory to him to see Jack" jump
up in the box" when the lid was
raised. He would know what made
Jack" spring up.
One day, while fishing near rustic
mill, the water wheel attracted his at
tention, because it was fed by rill
above which descended from height of
nearly 100 feet. Seeing that only 20 feet
of the descent was utilized, he pondered
the question, "Why not use the whole
descent of the stream as a motive pow
err" A swinging lamp in church sug
gested to Galilei the pendulum as a
means of measuring time, and Arm
strong saw in the descending rill power
for a hydraulic crane. He invented one,
and it attracted the attention of leading
engineers.
