PASSING or THE HORSE.
Being Superseded by the Bicycle, the
Trolley and the Cable.

AT a recent sale Of well bred trotting
horses in this state 3-yaar-olds were sold
as low as 81 apiece, and the highest
price secured for any was $75. At these
prices il does not pay to raise horses, and
the breeders who made the sale did so to
get out Of a business no longer profitable.
Their case is but one of many. The
horse is being rapidly superseded. Ca

ical devices are greatly reducing the de-

skin more thoroughly than soap and

Sir Christopher Wren was prodigy
in youth, as in maturity. Oughtred, the
first mathematician of his day, declares
in the preface to his great book that
an ingenious boy, gentleman COM
moner at Wadham," had enlarged the
sciences of astronomy, gnomics, staticsl
and mechanics by most brilliant dis
coveries, ''praeclaris in ventis." This
was Wren at the age of fifteen. A veal
before that he had taken out a patent
for an instrument to write with two
pens at the same time; in the same year
he was appointed demonstrating assist ?
ant on anatomy at Surgeons hall.
Wren lived to justify his early prom
Use, but Dugald Stewart tells us of a
boy who, as he hoped, would rival the
fame of Sir Isaac Newton" This was
the son of Count Pusgstall. II cannot
help considering him" wrote the Scotch
professor, ''as the most extraordinary
prodigy of intellectual endowment
that has ever fallen under my
knowledge" This is a great saying,
indeed from Dugald Stewart, who was
bot given to enthusiasm nor to careless
Expression. Unfortunately we have
10 detailed information about the
south's requirements in later years; he
fed at 16, of general decay, appar-
lntly.
But Mr.. Lemaistre met him in his
ravels, and published an account in

The case is trimmed across the bot

under the curve of the pillow, and SO
will not be likely to cause discomfort.

THE FIRST LONG DRESS.
Most Important Event In the History OF
Girls Life.

Glrlh IHe
1t is a momentous day in the history
of girls life when she puts on her
first long dress, 1t is much moro inn
portant event than the putting on OF
his first pair of long trousers by boy,
for the boy is boy still for some
years afterwards, but from the time the
girl dons her first real long dress she is
regarded as woman.
She may have worn dresses thet
reached almost down to her shoe tops,
but they were as youthful In appear
ancc as the long dresses which slie
wore in babyhood. But when an even
all-round skirt is changed to the dra-
perry of the dress worn by grown
women, then we have no longer a young
girl, but young lady, pure and simple.
Many girls, anxious to be thought
young women, are in too great hurry to
put on these sweeping gowns, and don
them too soon. In after years they
will regret their hurry, for 1t is
strange, but true, that girls age is
reckoned by her friends from the time
she puts on her first real long dress.
This style necessarily makes change
in her demeanor.
No matter how coltish and young
she may feel, the long breadths OF
cloth put stop to the frislSiness Of the
days of short skirts. 1t is only natural,
therefore, that new department
should follow the advent of the length
ened skirt.
When the long dress comes the hair
undergoes n change, but different
change from that which takes place in
the skirt. 1t is taken up high on the
head, and the result is that n stranger
would be at loss to tell whether tho
little girl of the day before was now
seventeen or twenty years of age.
Girls, don't be in a hurry to put on
long dresses. Think of the years dur
ing which you will have to wear them.
Some time in the future you will look
back with regret to the free and happy
days of your girlhood, and will wonder
how you could have been in hurry to
leave them for the cares of woman
hood.
Don't be in hurry to abandon your
dolls and 60 into society. Cherish the
days of your youth. If you are, as
Longfellow puts it:
Standing with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet
don't be anxious to plunge into the
river, whose mighty torrent sweeps all
before it, but linger by the side of the
babbling brook, whose music brings

STRIKE IMMINENT.
It is in Jersey City and Newark This
Time.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE employees of
the Consolidated Traction companies
in Jerssy City are growing restless,
because of the failure of the
company to act on their
petition presented to President f. F. G.
Young two months ago. The re-
suit of the strike has led some
of the officials to imagine that
strike on the part of
the Jersey City motormen is now out of
the question. Nevertheless there is
much murmuring among the trolley
men.
They suffered great hardships during
the last weeks blizzard and some of
them do not hesitate to say that
a strike will be ordered in Newark as
we'll as Jersey City unless the company
takes some cognizance of their petition.
The petition demands in part stand
ard wage and time schedule for So
a day for every trolley man in
stead of the present pay which hardly
averages $1.85; an impartial trial of all
men accused of violating the rules; $175
a night pay for night trips; the employ
ment of no new persons whom the
breakers-in do not deem capable; a
proper place for the employees to store
their clothes and eat their lunches.
