Wonderful Career Of Great Tr,tter.

Mr.. Jonas Hawkins, of Orange
County, obtained from strolling
gypsy band brown mare, 15.2, with
four white feet. He used her for a
family nag and by Seely's American
Star got black flly, foaled in 1913,
which was named Clara. The filly be.
came the property of his soD, Jona-
than Hawkins, and she grew into o
mare OF 14.3. She had o star, snip
and three white feet, and was driven
pretty hard on the country roads by
her young master. In 1857, by Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian, she had the
paragon, Dexter. The brown gelding
with blazo and four white feet was
purchased by Mr.. George B. Alley for
S4OO, and he subsequently became the
property OF Mr.. A. F. Fawcett. Dex-
ter, under the tutorship of Hiram
Woodruff, made his first public ap.
pearance at Fashion Course, May 4,
1864. He met and defeated, during
his short but brilliant turf career,
such horses as General Butler, George
NJ. Patchen, Jr., Lady Thorne and
Goldsmith Maid, and he probably was
in the enjoyment of moro worldwide
fame than any hcrse foaled on Ameri-
can soil. Ho brought Budd Doble
into public notice, and the sight OF
the white-faced gelding coming with
tremendous force down the home
stretch inspired the loftiest dreams.
The people swung their hats and
shouted, "Hurrah for Dexter! Long
live the horse OF the century !"-Scrib-

Volcanic Dust.

Volcanic dust is SO light that it will
float in, the air for long time, and
may often be carried to distance
that in tho light OF our ordinary
knowledge seems Incredible. Passen-
gers on ship nearly 900 miles from
o volcano found dust that had been
carried through the air by currents,
and had settled on the vessel in sulfl-
cient quantity to bo easily gathered
and examined. Microscopic investi-
CATION fixed the substance as positive
ly volcanic. 1t is somewhat in the
nature of glass or vitrified substance
very strongly resembling it. In Tex
Us, Nebraska and various parts of tile
West, there are enormous deposits of
volcanic dust. Just where this came
from is source of much speculation,
and scientists are trying to fix the To-
cality whence it proceeded. OF course,
it is not impossible that there may
have been volcanoes in some portions
of our land, but that the site of them
is obsculed by ordinary earth, vege-
table growth and, other substances
which have resolved themselves into
the usual soil Of such localities. Pop

Fighting the Squirrel Pest.

"1t seems strange that squirrels
should be SO plentiful as to be pest
in any settled country" said E. B.
Breed, of ofSpokane, Washington, at the
National, "but such is the case in the
northeastern part OF the State Of Wash.
ington. They ruin vegetation, and
farmers con find no way to get rid OF
them. A favorite plan is for the owner
of ranch to have squirrel shooting
match. Sportsmen's clubs from Spo-
kane, Tacoma, Seattle and elsewhere
are invited to squirrel hunt. The
ranchman entertains them loyally, and
prizes are given for the most squir-
rels, while the club having the smallest
number pays all of the expenses of the
trip. Rivalry runs high, and the clubs
send their very best men to compete
for the prizes. 1t is not at'all uncom.
mon for the leaders to have several
hundred to their credit..at the end of
o six days match, and thousand
day, where several clubs compete, is
by no means o big record. Yet, not
withstanding this wholesale slaughter,
there does not seem to be any percep-
tible diminution in their numbers. -

Suicide Of a Sparrow.

"It was simple incident in its way,
but very interesting" remarked IL
well-known physician, "aud attracted
the attention of hundreds of people
during the day. What I refer to was
the suicide or accidental hanging of o
sparrow on Sunday last, in bunch of
string that still hangs from the cornice
of house on Third street northwest,
just above B street. My attention was
attracted by the unusual amount of
chattering of q number of sparrows
who seemed to be much excited by the
occurrence. The birds held kind of
a council on the matter, and then di-
vided themselves into relief parties
and went to work in great earnest in
their unsuccessful efforts to chew off
the strands of tho string that held the
unfortunate bird tightly around the
neck. At times during the day there
were as many as fifty persons gathered
watching the efforts of the birds. All
kinds OF sympathy was expressed, but
no relief could be extended. Shortly
after noon it was apparent that the
sparrow was dead, but still tho efforts
OF the birds were kept up until nearly
Washington Star.

Adjustable Foundations.

A sky scraping structure is being
erected in st. Paul, Minn., with an
adjustable foundation standing on
hydraulic jacks. This device has been
adopted to overcome such disturbances
in equilibrium of the building as are
liable to occur owing to the soft foun-
dation on which it stands. Forty.
seven steel uprights placed at regular
intervals over an area of $500 square
feet support the entire weight OF the
building, under which the hydraulic
Jacks are being introduced, which will
alter the level of the building of any
time during its construction, or even
after the whole OF the material has
been placed in position. At the foot
of each of these columns may be seen
q support consisting OF rolled steel
sections, united OF an angle. Between
this conical support and the base of
each column are inserted half dozen
steel plates. 1t is the removal or in
sertion of these plates which will alter
the height Of the building either low
ering or raising it. The actual work
of raising the building will be done
by the hydraulic jacks.

Charing Cross.

In reading English history you will
happen across numerous references to
Charing Cross, but the chances are
You will wonder if the allusion is to
real cross erected as o memorial or
simply a cross roads. Charing Cross
was formerly one of the noted land
marks OF Britain, and It's history is as
follows: In November of the year
1891, "Good Queen Eleanor" as she
was called by her loyal subjects, was
called to join her husband, who was
then making ON expedition into Scot
land. When Eleanor had gotten as
far on her way as Grantham she sick
ened and died. The remains must, of
course, be buried at Westminster, and
the funeral cortege started in that di-
rection. During the time this royal
funeral procession was slowly winding
its weary way toward the capital thou
sands of people hocked to the wayside
to get glimpse of it. It was great
event in the history of the rural dis
tricts, and they did everything possi-
Bile to make the solemn occasion
memorable one. Wherever the pro-
cession halted for the night or for
other cause the people afterward set
up memorial. One of the longest
stops was made at Charing, and sub
sequently richly carved memorial
cross was erected on the site OF the
camp. This was the Charing Cross
history. It stood until 1647. when
the last vestige of it was destroyed
during tho Civil Wars of Charles, the
vandals who destroyed the relic claim
ing it to be monument of Popish su-
perstition. Charing Cross as seen to.
day was erected by tho Southern Rail-
way Company in the year 1SG5.-St.
Louis Republic.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Wit, like cutlery, needs whetting
occasionally.
Some people marry bad luck, and
others inherit it.
The man who never kicks is pretty
sure to be Kicked.
The best memory is the one that
knows how to forget judiciously.
No man likes to hear his wife talk
of vhat she will do after he is dead.
There is no more dangerous disease
than wanting to get rich in hurry.
When two discourse, if ones anger
rise, the man who lets the contest fall
is wise.
The trouble with cute children is
they soon outgrow it and become i'm
pudent.
No man ever criticises his wife's
coking until they have been married
some time.
A man gets 60 that On alarm clock
has no more effect on him than his
conscience.
To convince fool against his will
is on o par with arguing with o mule
not to kick.
A mans tendency to give advice is
in indirect ratio to his ability to mind
own business.
Itis only tine habitually silent man
that can occasionally realize that he
talks too much.
Thousands of people would appre-
ciate sympathy and help who never
ask for it and never get it.
Some people have moral sentiment

The Cow Pen.

The cow pea is gradually being
pushed farther north, and We believe,
by next season there will be few com.
munities in the whole country where
it's usefulness will not be demonstrated.
May is good month in which to SOW
it for soiling purposes, giving you the
use of the crop for eight or nine weeks,
and leaving a large mat Of roots in
the ground when frost comes. If none
of your neighbors have yet grown the
cow pea, it would hardly be wise for
you to spend a great deal OF money
and time on the crop this year, but 1t
will pay you big to experiment in q
small way with the COW pea on your
own farm. If you eau grow it, you
have one OF the most valuable crops IN
the world

On tho Diamond.

The crack OF tho bat and the whizz Of the
bail,
And the umpire's foghorn shout
Will now be heard, and on every hand
Good men will bo striking out.
The pitcher will tic himself into knot,
With q flendish twist on his face,
And tho ball will come In, with corkscrew
curve.
And batter will fall from grace.
Tho catcher will stand In his armor Of pads,
With hustle strapped over his phiz,
And when foul pops up over his head
He will struggle to 500 where 1t Is.
The coachers will hug up rs close as they
dare
To the base lines, and cheer up the men
With hoarse cries of "Go 1t. Tim!" "Slidc.
Kelly. slide!"
And 'Now you're of! Come back again, ;;
Way out at right fleld, with the sun in bis
A player will put up his hand; -
Tho ball will come sailing along through the,
sky
He'll mufY it-then hear the grand stand!
While Murphy at short-blest child OF the,
AS screaming hot liner spins by,
Will put out his hand, and by mere lucky
chance,
Then, oh! what howl from the bleachers.
will rise!
And Murphy will take or his hat,
As II 'twere the commonest everyday thing
To capture balls hot from the bat.
=
Yes, the crack of tho bat, and the swish Of
the ball,
And the umpiro's foghorn cry
VIII now be heard. And the championship?
!, We'll, we'll talk about that by and by.
