VARIOUS NOTES.
From the Breeder and sportsman.

From the Breeder and Sportsman.
The truth of the matter is that there
are not too many horses In the country.
The so-called surplus is due to the fact
that no one cares to purchase the class
of animals offered for sale. There are
not enough good horses in America to-
day. The quality has been suffered to
decline. A nation that has produced
the worlds wonder in the shape of the
light harness horse should not allow its
general stock of horses to deteriorate so
badly that buyers cannot find what they
want without securing thousand square
pursued along proper lines, the future
welfare of the horse industry ia America
Is as secure as any other branch of the
live stock business, but breeders must
produce what the market demands.
In 1895 there was built, for John r.
Gentry, a sulky that weighed but 2O4
pounds, but McIIenry would not use it,
as he was fearful that il would not stand
the strain. Joe Patchen pulled an ex-
ceedingly light vehicle with safety, but
as a rule the bike that was scaled down
to thirty pounds or less was not much
favored. Superintendent Smith, of che
Buffalo track, has built one that weighs
exactly thirty pounds, wire twist tubing,
such as is used for gun barrels, having
been brought into service. Recent
ly it was tested with gross weight of
$50 pounds and wthst0od it successfully.
Light racing tires are used. Alonzo Nc
Donald tried it and says that it is the
easiest on the driver of any that he has
ever mounted.
That there is no cruelty in docking, as
the Rider and Driver would have Its
readers believe, will not for moment
be believed by single person of ordi-
nary intelligence. The necessity
which the New York paper says "takes
it out of the category of cruelty does
not, nor has it ever existed. AS well
might it be said that should fashion de-
clare in favor of one-legged coachmen
that the amputation of the superfluous
| limb would not be an act of cruelty
The supporters of this Darbarous prac-
tice of docking may make all manner
Of excuses, but they cannot ad vance q
single solid argument to show that q
locked horse is in any manner rendered
superior to one that has not been sub
iected to mutilation.

Louis Napoleon Al

Lady Blossington did not always meet
with gratitude from some whose position
at last enabled them to serve her. She
sheltered in her London home Louis Ma
poleon after be had escaped from his prison
in Ham. After Louis Napoleon became
president of the French republic he seems
to have turned the cold shoulder on Lady
Blessington and Count D'Orsay when
they approached him in Paris. There was
story going ut the time, for the accuracy
of which we certainly will not vouch, but
which appeared in several of the London
papers.
Shortly before Lady Blessington's death
she met, so the story goes, the president
driving in the Champs Elysees. He stopped
his carriage she stopped hers, and they
conversed for a few minutes His manner
seemed to her determinedly chilly. do
you stay long in ParisY" he asked as he
was about to drive on. NO." she an
swered. And you?"-London Speaker.

"Police officers frequently go to sleep

formation volunteered by a we'll kAown
member of the police force especially
during the couple of hours that precede

an officer whose beat did not extend south
of Pennsylvania avenue on Fourteenth
street, who, while asleep, walked all the
way down along that street to the long
bridge. When he awoke, he was within
ten feet of locomotive coming across the
bridge, and was so frightened that he did
not find his way back for nearly an hour.
know of another case and heard the story
from the officer himself who wandered oil
the way along K street from Fifth street
northeast to judiciary square. He got all
mixed up in the square and actually had
to ask some one where he was before he
could find his way back to his beat. OF
course there are officers occasionally who
settle down for "a quiet snooze, but the
cases speak of are those who actually and
without any intention or desire go asleep

He would not with peremptory tone,
Assert che nose upon his face his own.
-Cowper.
And how could he II that nose were
fashioned of celluloid, gold, platinum OF
even u baser metalP Building a nose"
sounds queer, and yet that Is just what
surgeons are doing almost every day. Ev-
cry surgeon who possesses mechanical
ability enough to be called PLASTIC sur
geon" will take contract for building
nose.
The operator, in the case of a man the
bony portion of whose nose has been de-
stroyed. first removes the dead bone until
he finds healthy bone.
He is then ready to proceed with the
building Holes are drilled into the sound
bone for the reception uf the metallic
framework which is to support the flesh
that will give the nose the appearance of
having it's naturally bony and cartilage
nous support
Probably the most famous case of nose
Blu ilding is that of the late DR.. Thomas
Sabine The operation was performed at
Bellevue hospital. The patients nose had
been entirely destroyed by disease called
lupus.
The surgeon transplanted the middle
finger of the patients hand to replace the
nose. To the house surgeon fell the task
of destroying the nail. For this he used n
powerful acid In relating his experience
recently he said that he supposed his work
had proved successful, but after the finger
had been transplanted he found that the
nail was inclined to grow again, and he
was obliged to use the acid repeatedly be-
fore it was finally destroyed.
There are surgical records of other SINH
lar cases, in many of which the nail had
grown on the Finger nose."
In ordinary cases where only the bony
portion of the nose has been destroyed eel
luloid is said to prove most satisfactory,
as it is better borne in living tissues than
any other substance.
A case was recently shown at the Acad-
envy of Medicine. The patient was a
young man whose nasal bones had been
destroyed through disease. The skin had
fallen into the cavity.
The shape of the nose was restored by
an aluminium tripod. The surgeon drilled
a hole in the frontal bone for the reception
of one branch of the apparatus, while the
other branches fitted into the holes which
had been drilled in the upper jawbone
To the unframed eye the nose had every
appearance of being normal.-J. f. Whit
myer, NJ. D., in St. Louis Post-Dispatch

GIVING 1T TO THATCHER.
The New York Candidate Is Being Round
ly Denounced.

Providence, r. IA New York de-
spatch to the Providence journal in ref
erenoe to the political situation in the
Empire State, sizes it up as follows:
No scholar in politics and no histori-
cal writer ever received in this country,
the drubbinR that Mr.. Thatcher is get
ting. Worse things are said Of him than
have been applied to Mr.. Bryan, and
most of these opinions are repeated In
editorials Of this morning and afternoon.
The general tone Of every comment of
the kind is that the Mayor of Albany and
the scholar In question is dishonest
man. Many of the charges against him
make him out to be little else than a
penitentiary candidate. The animosity
of the sound money men Is violent and
in part inconceivable. No less a man
than ex-Secretary Fairchild who has
never utterd harder things against
party boss, said today that every body
understood that Mr.. Thatcher was a
man who had sold his political honor
in the hope of rewards Instead of say
ing, "Every thing is lost but honor" it
Is bne cry OF Gne new candidate, accord
ing to Mr.. Fairohild, that he has lost
all honor, but he hopes to gain some
thing. The ax-Secretary added in an in
terview: ''If an honest, straightout
silver man had been nominated he would
command more respect and gain. more
Democratic votes. A man who, impelled
by his principles, takes the lead in
losing fight, deserves all honor. But
honest men will have only contempt for
a man who sacrifices his principles in Or
der to secure political Office Much
principles is said by Democrats of Brook
lyn. They also dwell upon the twist that
Mr.. Thaoher has given, in their judg-1
ment, to his honor.
