THE RACES.

Brighton Beach Results.


Brighton Beach Race Track, Aug Il
There was not very large crowd at The
track today, owing to the heat. The
track was in excellent shape and the pro-
gramme was attractive, the special race
between Cleophus and Rhodesia being
the feature. Rhodesia was the favorite
in the betting AMI led all the way, scoring
the easiest of victories by three lengths
There was another dead heat here today
this time between Terrier and Gold Crest
in the third event Terrier broke in
front, but Taral steadied him, allowing
Gold Crest to cut the work and have
things his own way until they were
squared for home. Terrier then closed
up on Gold Crest and terrific drive en-
sued. Both jockeys rode their hardest,
but they could not gain the slightest adj
vantage over the other, and amid intense
excitement they swept across the lines
on even terms. In the run off Gold Crest
did all the running and won in hard
drive by neck. A new track record
was made here today, Jefferson, to l
shot in the first race, covering mile and
a sixteenth in 1:471s. The best previous
record was 1:47%, made by The Winner
on July q of this year. Summary:
First race, one mile and sixteenth

A UnllIlo-'s Grip.

Most bulldogs prefer to die rather than let go their grip, once they have fastened their teeth into flesh. This was the case with one at North Sayville |. l. On the evening of that day MT. hrmbruster left n valuable pony in front of his house while he entered to get something. While he was in the house his bulldog, which was chained in the yard, became angry at the horse, and rugged at his chain until he broke it. He then attacked the pony and lacerated it terribly. He bit through the tendons of the front legs, and was hanging to the pony's throat when Armbruster came out of the housS. Seeing the trouble that the pony was in, and being acquainted with the dogs temper, he called hired man and they attempted to club the dog off, but all to no purpose. The beast hung on to the pony's throat. Finally Armbruster got double-barreled shotgun, loaded 10th barrels and blazed away at the dog, killing him instantly. The pony was badly torn, but will rccover.-Buf- falo Express.

Natural soft Soap In Paddles.

A party of gentlemen from the east who have been hunting and fishing for the past month in the Dig Horn noun tainS and basin met while there with a pertinent illustration of the natural niarvels of the great central west. This
 was nothing less than the discovery of Q series of pits, or vats, of natural soft soap, the excellent quality of the prod uct showing that old Dame Nature is we'll competent, when in the mood, to hold mp fully the end of her string as a housewife. These natural soft-coap pits, seven in number and having an average capacity of about 1000 gallons, are scattered over an area of two or three acres of alkali land, situated just below the mouths of half dozen hot springs and two large springs of prac- tically pure lubricating oil. The water from the hot springs and the oil drain age combining with each other and act ing on the all;ali deposit constitute a natural soap manufactory, the product of which is gathered in the adjacent series of earth cavities or pits. Just below the pits themselves is q wide tract of spongiest marsh soil in whose depths the soft-soap surplus is ab- sorbed. The product is perfectly mar ketable, and in the coming commercial development of the Big Horn basin there will doubtless be a natural soft soap syndicate.-Denver News.

WHY TAE BABY DIED.
Its Elaborate Clothes We're Too Great

Its Elaborate Clothes We're Too Great a
 Strain.
 This interesting story of the royal iayette reminds me of another story, perhaps because it is so very unlike. across the street, and, as we are often more or less the victim of the people across the street--the people who watch our doings with their noses flattcned against window panes or concealed be- hind lace draperies-that little woman now becomes my victim in this story.
 She was 40 and newly married, and n baby had been to her an ideal since the days when she played with dolls and dressed them in iinery to eclipse all the. dolls in the town. 1 recall the wonder ful layette prepared for this baby that had been a lifelong ideal. Never until the account of the royal Russian baby's have I ever conceived of aught more elaborate. The baby was somewhat of u disappointment to the mother. It was pathetic, unhappy, inflamed, scrawny-looking representative of the genus homo, and not at all the ideal baby the mother had in her mind. But, bless you, the mother love soon trans formed it into an ideal, and made it the. possessor of infinite baby graccs, and then there were all it's clothes, lace crea- tions all tied in ribbons, and not an ar ticle that was the least bit common place. The trunk full of clothes was the greatest comfort in the world to that mother.
 Every day she dressed the baby three times, and tried on it's tiny finger rings, and put on its three o'clock locket every afternoon. Every time that wretched baby had on clean dress it grew more limp and more listless. One day she told one of the neighbors from across the street that she anticipated taking the baby to Ohio to see it's grandmother. As this was said in the presence of the persecuted baby, I shall always think that he reflected upon the number of times he would have to exhibit the lace gowns, and then, as the easiest way out the difficulty, he just laid down and died.
 When the neighbors from across the street called to express their sympathy, the heart-broken mother was n sad and hopeless heap in the middle of the floor, surrounded by that fateful layette. As she gathered up lace garment to dry her tears, she sobbed aloud:
 And -- to-think = we--were-go- ing-to - Ohio-only next week and -- now - my - will see-its-clothes."
 And some way I thought that baby heard.-N. Y. Recorder.

After being peeled from the tree the cinnamon bark is piled in heaps in or der that it may ferment and thus en- able it to be more readily cleaned of the epidermis.
 The name of the clove is derived from Latin word, signifying little nail. It is n remarkable fact that in every civilized language the name of the clove has this signiiication.
 The nutmeg tree was distributed all over ,he east by the nutmeg pigeon, this bird being fond of the fruit and trans porting the seed to many quarters where the plant took root and grew.
 In the West Indies red pepper is a favorite remedy for many ailments. In all cases of sore throat it is used as gargle, while it is regarded also as specific for scarlet fever and scarlatina.

MATE IS QUITE SCARCE.
It Is a South American Tea and Few Deal
 CTS Know of It.

"Mate?" repeated a tea dealer awhile ago. "Never heard of it. What is it?"
 "A tea grown in South America, and it is drunk more than Chinese tea by those people, was the answer of the man who had asked for the article.
 This conversation was repeated in a dozen offices, till at last, concluding that the tea trade knew nothing of it, the man betook himself to the Uruguay consulate. A man was found there who for years had resided in the Parana region, and who, when told of the quest, laughed and, pulling little bag from under q table, said: 'I am not sur prised. I guess this bag represents the sum total of mate in this part of the city. There is no trade in it. for only a few people who have lived in South America and have become attached to the tea buy small quantities for their own use"
 He opened the bag. Itcontained per haps 20 pounds of leaves, ground coarse. of dead-green color, having no percep- tible smell ani of slightly bitter taste. '1 got this,' he went on. partly for my self and partly to send to the Atlanta exposition. And, you know, we cannot inf'lse the tea as we do Chinese; it must be drunk boiling hot--not allowed to stand-else i. becomes insipid. So we have these cups and tubes" and he took from his desk wood shell cup like Gourd. holding scant half-pint, and tube about a foot long. Mate costs about two cents pound down in Paraguay. N. Y.

SALT STORM In UTAH.
wintry Visitation That Covers OBJ
iects with n Saline Sediment.

The last few days, says dispatch from
Salt Lake City, whenever snow has fallen
a white sediment has been left wherever
the snow touched. There has been much
speculation as to the actual cause. and local
scientists have been and are now divided
upon that point. There are those who in
sist that the sediment was taken up from
the bosom of Great Salt Lake. There are
others who believe that the deposit is sui
phate of soda, which is thrown up on the
shores of Great Salt Lake during the win
ter by the action of the cold weather on
the briny waters. Be that as it may, the
houses facing north. the street car windows.
carriage windows and every piece of glass
exposed has become incrusted. Pedestrians
who happened to be out in the storm did not
notice anything out of the way until their
clothing dried, when it was discerned that
the apparel was liberally sprinkied with
what appeared to be salt. The deposit is
OF saline nature. That was discovered by
the application of the tongue. 1t is a
phenomenon that frequently occurs in Salt
Lake City, and especially during the winter
season. and therefore caused but little won
der, but good deal of work was necessary
to remove the stains left on the windows.
There has not been a snowstorm within the
last ten da Us when the deposit of he sedi-
ment has not occurred. The servants are
still guessing.

Deem Thinking.

Minister Ransom, when he was in the
Senate, was one day going down the Capitol
steps when he saw approaching very dull,
long-winded man. Ransom was in nomental
or physical shape to bear the brunt of full
fledged bore just at that moment. As the
dull one drew near Ransom greetedhim with
sour shortness and hurried by. The other
had paused, bat at this brief dismissal turned
away. Ransom, smitten of conscience at
his own rudeness, turned pleasantly when
some ten steps separated him from the bore,
and called out: Goodbye, Simpkins! I've
been thinking mighty heap about you lately
Simpkins!'' At this Simpkins began to
betray symptoms Of returning. But don't

som, wildly motioning with both hands;

ORIGIN OF THE MODERN JINGO.
How the Word Came to BE Applied to
War Blusterers.
PIttsburp DisDatci

War Blusterers.
Pntsburg Dispatch.
The origin of the word lingo" is In
teresting at this time when one is con-
fronted with it go often At the time of
the close of the Russo-Turkish war, which,
as all readers of history know, terminated
so disastrously for the Turks, and caused
feeling of apprehension in England, that
the Russians were bent on taking Con-
stantinoplc, and the ultimate dismember-
ment of the Turkish Empire, a change which
could not be tolerated, the public feeling
found expression in England upon the stage
in pantomimes and in the music halls by
numerous patriotic songs. One of these
was as follows:
The dogs of war are loose and the rugged
Russian Bear,
Full bent on blood and robbery, has era wled
out of his lair.
1t seems a thrashing now and then will
never help to tame
That brute, and SO he's outupon thesame old
game.
The Lion did his best to give him some
excuse
To crawl back TO his den again-all efforts
were no use.
He hungered for his victim, he's pleased
when blood is shed;
But let Us Eope his sins may all recoil
on his own head.
Chorus.
We don't want 10 fight, but, by lingo! if
we do,
We've got the men, we've got the ships,
we've got the money, too.
We fought the Bear before, and while were
Britons true
The Russians shall not have Constantinople.
The song became most popular and was
heard on every street corner, from every
organ grinder and was whistled by every
bootblack. Soon after this the election
campaign began in which Gladstone, the
head of the Liberals, attacked the Tory
party, then led by the Earl of Beaoonsfield,
who was in power. The Tory foreign
policy was ridiculed and they were stig-
matized by the Liberals as ''tbe party of
bloodshed, glory and jingo."
From the time of this election campaign.
which resulted in the defeat of the Tories and
the accession of the 'peace party" Glad

WAR FOUGHT ON WINGS.
Scientists Regard 1t as a Possibility
of the Future.
London Graphic,

LOEuOn Sfupnic.
Although much remains to be accom-
plished before either submarine or aerial
navigation becomes so perfected as 10 come
in usefully for purposes of war, it seems
pretty safe to predict that by the end of
the twentieth century they will be regarded
much as we view telephones and electric
light. 1t is little more than half century
ago since the idea of propelling vessels
across the Atlantic by steam power was
not ouly ridiculed by the learned in such
matters, but proved to be absolutely i'm
possible. There is no impraCticability in
living under water or in the upper air;
given proper appliances, and both are
well within the sccope of human endeavor
All that remains, therefore, is to dis
cover trustworthy means OF propulsion
and of steering, of sinking at viii in the
one case and raising at will in the other.
Such trifles as these should be the mcrest
nothiugs to mechanical science; indeed,
claims are already made on behalf of GER
tain talented inventors that both prob
lens are practically solved. What war
fare 1t will be when one power holds
supremacy in the air and another power
down among the fish hes, That would,
indeed, be a practical illustration of the
grim Bismarckian jest about the whale
and the elephant.
Perhaps, however, by that time the
winged soldier will be rendered capable
of diving as well as of flying, while the
submarine warrior may be given the
flying fish faculty of shooting into the
air. We make sure that we shall soon
hear these claims also put forward on
behalf of the miraculous Edison aud the
little less miraculous Goubet.

SOME MAGIC WORDS.
Walter Besant Tells What LettersAre
Talismans Against Ill-Luck.

Walter Besant Tells What Letters Are
Talismans Against Ill-Luck.
MarIc words. Here are one or two,
saws Sir Walter Besant, in the Queen"
The word "Abracalan" drives away the
-.,ue. Keep IL, therefore, about the house.
For epilepsy the word "A namzaptas"
cures n man, aud 'Anamzapta" cures a
woman. The word "Agia" should also
be kept about the house, because 1t is good
in exorciSms. And the word '.Abraxas"
Possesses qualities which not even the
most fervent believer can comprehend.
If You are attacked by a snake, do not
run away, but just say "Osya" and see
what will happen. And if you want
really all round useful word, will give
you one for a Christmas box. Get it en-
graved on ruby mounted with gold and
you will have continual good luck. The
word is ''Bedooh." If you want another
word, the utterance OF which brings bad
luck, l can also find you one. 1t is a
word held in execration by The Arabs,
Turks, and Pcrsiaus. On one occasion
the late Edward Palmer cleared a whole
bazaar OF It's occupan nts by repeating this
word aloud. They fled, shriekine and
cursing, and looking to see the infidel fall
dead on the spot. The word is -. But
no-i reserve IL for mine enemy. / shall
then pronounce The word aloud, and q

INGALLS, NAME DROPPED.

Report That the Loyal Legion With
drew the Ex-Senator's Membership.
Ex-United States Senator John j. In
gals of Atchison has been dropped from
the roll of membership OF The military
order of the Loyal Legion of Kansas at its
monthly meeting held in LeavenwOrth,
Kans., last Thursday night. Efforts were
made TO keep the matter secret, but.it
leaked out through a member who at
tended the meeting.
Mt. Ingalls, was admitted fifteen years
ago as a member OF the third class. Only
commissioned officers who were in vol
unteer service during The rebellion are
entitled to first-class membership, to
which Mr.. Ingalls, was ineligible. Mr..
Ingalls, recently, it is said, wrote to the
secretary of the Loyal Legion that he
desired To be elevated to membership of the
first-class.
Col. J. II. Fitzpatrick, comma nder, wrote
to the ex-senator, explaining that 1T
would be impossible for the order to change
the class of his membership. Mr.. ingalls,
replied, it is alleged that he desired mem
bership of the first-class or none. The
correspondence was laid before the meet
ing Thursday night and discussed. The
vtoe as to whether ex-senator Ingalls,
should be dropped was carried unanimously.
About fifty members were present.
