NEW YORK HOTELS"
The Raines Law Is Making New Dives by the
Score.

New York, April 22.-The work of
Transforming the drinking saloons of
New York into hotels" goes merrily
on. Ten iron bedsteads. 10 cubby holes
called bedrooms. and one aged sand
witch is the legal requirement, and it
being observed with an alacrity that
will eventually give New York more
hotels than any three cities in the
world combined.
Since the passage of the Raines law,
1874 "Raines law hotels" have been Gre
ated and applications continue to in
crease. This is on the authority OF
Commissioner Hamburger of the old
board. When the new excise commits
sioner gets his office running smoothly,
the hotels will soon be as thick as
the leaves that strew the brook of VAL

Justice Andrews of the supreme
court, this morning. established a pre-
cedent in the matter of the line of
measurement between the door of sa-
loon and the door of a school or a
church. Joseph Preinin2er of No. 400
East l4th street. was refused license
on the ground that his saloon was
within 200 feet of a church. The appli-
cant claimed that, if the measurement
had been made through the church
gate, he would have been POI feet, /,
inches, away. In an air line, he was
1871 feet away, and Justice Andrews de
cided that this was the proper way to
determine the distance.

The cross between the pure Holstein
and Jersey COW is generally n mongrel,
or mixed in an utter confusion OF colors,
aud woolly tos great degree. The eye
and deer-like herd of the Jersey can be
detected at times, while the form Is
smoother, more plump and less bony
than either the Holstein or Jersey, and
the size is between the two. The first
cross between the Holstein and common
stock is uniformly black and white,
while about one-sixth Of the second
cross goes back in color to the dam OF
the first cross, and the crosses thereafter
prove true 10 the Holsteins in color.
These animals are of good size for the
,hambles, and also produce about twice
as much milk as Jersey grades and OF
equal quality. The Holstein seems TO be
the only breed that will produce such
valuable crossoreds.-New England

A new story Of the late John r.
Spaulding, illustrating his unlimited
generosity and original methods Of dis

other day.
The sugar king" Of Broad street was
a confirmed bachelor, as everybody well
knew. His brother. the late Mablon ID.
Spaulding, used to live in Beacon street,
and was the father Of happy family.
At the birth Of the first child word was
sent to the rich uncle that the boy had
been named after him, John p. Spauld-
ing, cd" Uncle John responded with a
check for $40, 900. A couple OF years
later another heir was born, this time u
girl, and Uncle John was again notified
that the little daughter had been named
after him. This was a stickler for the
uncle, and he wrote for particulars. A
day or two afterward he received re-
ply, something in these words There
is really no mistake. We named our lit
lie daughter 'Spaulding-after you.
Uncle John sent another $40, 900 check.

To make any branch of farming sue

special attention. Farmers young or

A north country clergyman once made
clear even To the dullest of his flock the

on the spacious highway leading in the
other direction. Before he was well
started in his discourse he ran down the
pulpit stairs and proceeded TO suit the
action to the word.

TO heaven is like this" And lying fiat
on the banister he began To pull himself
up, hand over hand, as laboriously rs
boy climbs as creased pole.
At last he reached the top. and got
on his feet again, happy in his Christian
victory Then, having taken breath. he
exhorted his hearers 10 look at the road
to the other place, doubled one leg un-
der him and slid down the rail in
half sitting posture with a rapidity and
grace that betrayed juvenile familiar

Ihs PLANNING oe A IRsE.

IL he be "benefsctor OF his race who
causes two blades OF grass to grow
where only one blade grew before, how
much more must he benefit the world
who plants that which shall continue to
grow In beauty and In strength, and be-
come of still greater benefit 20 the world
as the years 20 on There is something
grand, and something sad, in the plant
ing of a tree. Ii is grand because II is

Aud who msy know the unmeasured

The birds shall build their nests

warm, the laugh Of children shall re-
sound; the sturdy tread of manhood
shall be heard and the tottering steps Of
the aged shall loiter there. Perhaps.
upon the soft, green carpet beneath its
shade fond lovers shah plight their
troth; the happy bride shall laugh out
beneath its trembling leaves, in very JOY
20 be alive, and love. Perhaps, too, be-
meath its shade, grown wide and deep,
there may be dug, some day, grave, IN
which shall lie, In dresmless sleep, the
beautiful and good. Then shall the tree
ward winters storms and summers heat
from of that grave, and bend as in per
petual benedictiou, above the silent
dead" And so, through the chills OF
many winters and the heats of many
summers, the tree We plant to-day shalt

TO return no more, IL shall year by year
renew its vigor, snd live on.

EOR MAINE HORSES.

In connection with the special work
attempted by the Maine state fair, one
fact rIust not be lost sight Of, that every
step abd act indicates purpose and that
to develop, so far as possible, the ma
terial prosperity of this state Of Maine.
Even in the races this Is manifest, and
the conditions for the colt stakes and
stake races require that the colt or horse
must be "owned, bred, or kept In Maine
or the Provinces May l, 1885," when the
liberal stakes close. Others may throw
open The doors and attract from every
locality, but those who are specially
intereEted In Maine horses will appre-
ciate lhe measure of protection offered.
Horse,men who are eligible should insure
