HOW TARAL TRAINS.
What He Has to Endure TO Get
Down to Riding MeiTht.


There are few, any, boys that have not
at some sta &c in their career wished to b.
come jo, keys. For years Taral, who will
ride at BenninG at its next meeting, has
been the idol OF young American boys.
1t may not be generally known, but 1t
Is a fact, nevertheless, that owL-rs and
trainers OF race horses are pestered tr death
with applications for positions from boys
anxious to shine upon the turf. Their re-
quests for q job i'll a stable. as a matter
OF course, are invariably thrown away,
sometimes without wing been read.
The elamor Of successful Jockeys
career appeals To the office boy and the
apprentice, and although ignorant Of what
the physical hardShips of such life mean.
he Is anxious to embrace it, even If only
for a change. The story Of wnat jockey
like Taral undercoes in the course of a
racing season may deter some Youngsters
from wasting paper and postage stamps.
Taral Is the premier jockey Of the Anerl-
can turf. He is IA man of indumit bic
energy and does not know what defeat
means. His dauntless courage and we'll
known honesty Of purpose are the chief
reasons why he is at the top of the ladder
NO one Who sees his happy, smiling face
at the race track for Il moment imagines
that he is under severe nervous tension.
or that, in spite Of the fact that his
income is almost princelv, he suffers from
Taral really takes but. one meal a dav
throughout the racing season. His reguIa r
mode OF living is probably harder than that
or any other man working for living Dur
ing tie winter months he lives a other men
with liberal incomes do, and generally put !,
on 4 lot OF flesh.
At one time he weighed 43 pounds fust
two months before the racing season began
His contract at the time stipulated that he
should he able to ride at Is pounds when
ever called upon on and after MAY 10. Their.
is only one way to reduce. saws Taral. ana
that is by hard work and dieting He Co,.s
in for both.
HIS diet consists OF a cup OF coffee in th.
early morning and nothing else until he ia ktS
dinner, Just before he goes to bed. He lonS
heavy sweaters and runs and walks unit 4
he is tired out every morning. By avoiding
liquids and living on one meal a tla y and go
'ng IN Tor daily tramps. he is able to keep
down to weight.
Strange to say, this Elode OF life does not
affect Taral in the least He says he feels
stronger and better when he lives on one
meal day and takes a run every morning
than when he eats three meals day HIS
looks do not belle his words.
His eye is bright and clear and he is the
picture of health and energy. The sam.
mode OF living has sent hundreds of locke W

So much talent is being expended on
the subject that We may hope soon to know
precisely what the rays are and what they
will DO. Though Il may be the case, as with
electricity itself, We may note the effects
thereof and turn it to our advantage,
but no man can say what it is, and as the
uses TO which it is put are already innu-
merable, it is impossible to foretell to
what purposeit may next be adapted.

WHAT ARE THE RAYS?

There is much diversity Of opinion among
scientific men as to what these rays consist
Of. The diScovcrer himself gays, Are they
not vibrations in ether?" Ether is an ex-
trcmcly thin fluid. which occupies all space
extending beyond our atmosphere. and en-
ters into the composition of air, penetrating
everywhere. even between the molecules or
minute particles of material substances.
Nicola Tesla believes that the rays ale
streams Of atoms of matter. He says: Il
am getting more and more convinced that
we have to deal with a stream Of material
particles which strike the sensitive plate
with great vclUcities.'
Tie rays seem to penetrate substancesi in

an eminent authority says that SO far from
destroying item, they seem 10 have much
more yigor and activity when subjected To-
the influence OF the rays.
WHERE THEY FAIL.
So far there have been no satisfactory
pictures taken of the brain or the Internal
organs, for the reason that these soft parts
of the body are as permeable to the rays as
the flesh surrounding them, and, therefore,
cast no shadow; and in the case of the
brain, its being inclosed in a bony cavity,
adds still more to the difficulty. Pictures
of various parts of the body merely show
the skeleton structure and any foreign
substance lodged in the flesh. BY reveal
ing the position of foreign matters, tu-
mOrs, abnormal growth of bones, injuries
to the bones, such as fracture, dslocatioD,
etc, photography will doubtless become Of
untol benefit to the human race. Mr. Tesla
says on this subject: 1T is now demon
strated beyond any doubt that small metal
talic objects, bOny or chalky deposits can
be infallibly detected in any part Of the
body

WIRES WITHOUT GRAPES.

A few years ago was at Bordeaux and
saw whole cargo Of "chicken" rice, con-
s,stine of %, 900 sacksful, bought by liquor
making firm and taken into their distliery
to be matted, fermented and distilled into
alcohol for USE In making wines and other
iptoxicants. In the same distillery l saw
tens OF Indian wheat, and two vats each
containing $500 tons OF treacle, which was
also to be fermented and distilled for simi-
lar purposes.
In point of fact, there Is made in factories
which I have seen at Hamburg, Germany,
and even in France, thousands OF gallons OF
so-called wine without drop OF grape-iuicee
in them. Cider, gooseberries. alcohol and
other elements are mixed to resemble wines.
II there were a year or two bad harTests for
corn the price OF bresd would increase be-
cause OF the scarcity Of corn; but although
time after time there have been bad harvests
of grapes-nearly all being destroyed oy the
ravages Of insects - the French can al.
ways supply us with the same quantities OF
wines at about the same prices-for they
manage to produce the wines whether they
have any grapes or not.

Manufacture OF Wooden Boxes.

Among the thousands Of industries
whose headquart ers are located in New
York is the manufacture of wooden
boxes. Over ninety per cent. of the
business of the world in this particu-
lar line of goods is done through New
York. 1t is not surprising, then, that
the metropolis should boast of the
lurgest and oldest box establishments
in the world.
Fancy boxes of every description
are made. There are all shapes, sizes
and styles, and they are finished in q
great variety of colors. 'It is not
generally known, but it is a fact"
said prominent member of the trade,
"that wooden boxes are cheaper than
those made of paper, glass or tin"
They are shipped to almost every
country in the world, one large New
York house having established agen-
cies in all the European countries,
Asia and Australia.
Patent automatic machinery is used
in their manufacture, and over TO-

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE INVITATION.

Do we half appreciate the valve OF dell
mite, earnest, personal invitation to become
Christian? The question is awakened py
reading little incident in a private letter
just received, showing how the word OF truth
may lie dormant in human soul Tor years
and at length blossom and fructify INTO
righteous living. About twenty years ago
pastor, when on exchange duty, noticed
boy in the Sunday school class which ne
taught that day whom he thought ought
to be Christian. Not satisfied, however,
with general presentation Of Christs claims
in the class, the minister took pains. the iol-
lowing day, to walk long distance to the
boys house, but did not find him. Never
theless, he talked with the mother, a poor
widow, and left tender. earnest message
for the son, asking him to writo the stranger
preacher, who left q card and address,
whenever he surrendered himself to the
Saviour. The man moved to another
parish, and the seed sown by the waystde
was nearly forgotten. After the long lapse
of years a letter in an unfamiliar hant, as OF
a working man, was forwarded from the
ministers former place of residence, telling
the glad news of the mans conversion last
summer, and his union with the church.
Probably the thought that somebody ex-
pectei him to become Christian remained
In the boys heart, followed him into man
hood and influenced him to yield his life to
God.
