There is one thing DR.. Stone has over
looked-the effect of the Strengthening
of the eyebrows In future generations,
which, according to Professor c. @. Lock-
wood, Of New York, would rob him of
dred years Lockwood has recently made
series of experiments which he classes
as the hereditary transmission of mutt
lations." ana which give evidence that
in so many generations Of the straight
browed japanese nature Itself will mold
them straight
In these experiments the professor has
selected white mice. owing to their rapid
breeding. They afford the most desirable
means, as they begin to breed when
thirty days old and breed every thirty

see the result of what many generations
of human beings like the Japanese would
produce, in year or so. His expert
ments were TO establish the theory of
hereditary transmissions, and in this in
vestigation he selected the tail OF the
little ANNA. as the agency. These were
severed from the selected pair and from
their young. BY continuing this method
of breeding IN the seventh generation
he got some young without tails. and
finally got a perfect breed of tailless
mice linen py taxing one WIN Tan
the sexes in each generation. he brought
them back again to the ordinary tailed
mice. From these experiments the scien-
tific world would claim that If followed
in human beings as in the case of
strengthening the eyes of the japanese,
in seven generations any desirable
change in bodily form could be accom-
plished. JAMES S. HAMMOND.

There may be time TO catch your breath
when you have caught your car:
But sixty seconds TO the minutes all Of

Ana when you figure very fast it's awful
how II goes
And don't forget you've got TO get there
mighty quick, because
You've got TO get away again; and snatch

Whose Jaws they are don't cut the fee,

You needn't stop to fix your feet and try
TO walk crack
For though IT'S toug1 a-getting there,
it's tougher getting back.
There's little time TO linger on the greeny

When long before you've gotten there
you ought to then be home.

wILLISGToN's HORSES.

According to tradition. Wellington used
comparatively few horses during his cam
paigns. All conductors Of great military
expeditions were compelled to take wheel
carriages at times. 1his may have been
the nabit Of the great British leader. His
most famous waT-hOrse was "Copenha-
gen" fine well-bred chestnut sorrel
fifteen hands hign. with two white feet
behind, and OF extraordinary spirit and
endurance. He got bis rame from the
following circumstance: Lord Grosvenor
rode a blood mare in the Copenhagen ex-
petition, on which occasion she was
mated to Meteor" a thoroughbred, and
son Of the famous English Eclipse" In
1903 Copenhagen" was born OF the union
He was put on the turf with varying sue
cess; was purchased by General Sir
Charles Stewart. adjut5nt-general of the
Peninsula Army. for three hundred gum
cas-, and when five years old was bought
by the Duke of Wellington during hts
campaigns in Spain in 1873 for the sum
of four hundred guineas. The Duke was
induced TO pay this high price by his
friend, Colonel Alexander Gordon, ac-
credited a good Judge Of horses, and who
subsequently, fell at Waterloo. The noble
animal did not disappoint the expecta-
tons Of his purchaser. After his services
in the Peninsula, he was transferred TO
the Belgian campaign. In addition TO
other peculiarities he was described as a
hollow backed, powerful horse" and
had more than once illustrated his gener-
Gus courage and physical prowess. On
the day before Waterloo he was ridden
ten consecutive hours, and after short
respite his noble master rode him twen-
ty-eght miles the same night.
The RIDE TO wAvRE.
This Is said TO have been when Wei
lington. not content with having written
10 Butcher on his retreat from Quatrh
Bras 10 Waterloo that he should expect
Prussian aid the next day, rode in person
on the night Of the nth OF June TO get
assurance of the field marshal's CO.
operation. This has been known as the
ride to Wavre. Although so much work
had been required of the noble horse, the
Duke was on his back for seventeen
hours the next cay. When, at 10 T.
NJ, ne dlsmounted and carressed his
faithful charger. Copenhagen was near
fracturing his masters skull by throwing
up his heels for joy. Wellington's horse,
OF course. became a great favorite with
the public. He remained with his mas
ter during the latter's stay in France
Upon his return TO England Sir Edwin
Landseer was ordered TO paint his por-
trait Honors and favors were heaped
upon him; and high danes esteemed IL
privilege TO wear bracelets and other
ornaments made OF the hair from his
main and tail. He survived until 1885, and
died at Strathfeld Sage. the guest OF
Duchess, after surfeit of spunge cake
and chocolate. OF which he was particu-
larly fond. He was buried with military
honors, at the foot OF a grand old Eng
fish oak, where his fame will be fresh
when hundred years are gone"

WASHINGTON LETTER,
by our Regular Correspondent.

lDJ Jul lNCSuIal wi Respondent
WASHINGTON, May "A, '95.
Circumstances unimportant in
themselves have brought republi-
can Presidential possibilities very
much to the front in Washington
during the past few days. Ex-
Speaker Reed was in Washington
for few hours last week, and al
though his visit was to see a sick
neutrality-suspicious. Hit, of ILL.,,
it started Presidential gossip, as
he is generally recognized as one Of
the leading candidates for the re-
publican nomination. Gen. Har-
rison's visit to New York has also
furnished food for gossip. Col.
Kitchener, of Ind, close friend Of
Gen. Harrison's who has law Of
flee in Washington, says of that
visit: Gen. Harrison has been to
New Jersey to receive a medal from
the Historical society of that State,
and is now in New York to sit for
portrait which is to be hung in
the White House. That is his real
business in New York, although he
may also attend to some law bust
ness. When asked bluntly whether
Gen. Harrison was candidate for
the nomination Col. Kitchener re-
piled: Gle says he is not" and
changed the subject.
Ex-senator Warner Miller, OF
New York, at present in Washing,
ton, says on the subject Of the next
republican nominee: | don't think
there has been any effort to get
together on the part of the leading
men of the party to come to an I'M
Outstanding. 1t would be much
better to let the leading men go tt
the convention and have the Ques
tion of a nominee decided there
Any attempt at ringing in any on,
in advance will fail, as it ought tt
fail. 1t would not be wise for any
one to attempt such thing, and
don't believe the attempt will bt
made. Leaders will not do it, ant
| if others attempt to do so they vii
not succeed. Speaking of the gen
eral outlook, Mr.. Miller said
Everything points to republican
| victory. The democratic party dis
appointed the people, showing a
incapacity for government. TIL
, democracy is not progressive. ]
is composed Of obstructionists.
/ The administrations "soun
money" platform is to include a
, endorsement Of the repeal of tn
3 Federal tax on currency urged b
State banks, although the last Col
gress, overwhelming democrat
as it was, refused to pass q bill r
pealing that tax, or to adopt a
0 amendment to the traifi bill Il
its repeal. There has been and
