THE PACING COLT.
Give Him q Chance to Show Himself In
His Own Natural Gait.

Give Him Chance to Show Himself In
His Own Natural Gait.
Attention has frequently been called
TO the fact that grave injustice is done
breeders of PAGERS fy those associations
which provide classes for their colts, not
as they do for trotters each age by itself,
but compelling 2-year-olds to compete
with 3-year- olds, 3-year-olds with
4-year-olds and yearlings with 2-year-
ODDS Often we find ON an associations
programme races for trotting colts prop
erly classified and recognizing year
lings, 2-year-olds, 3-year- olds and 4-year-
Odds as entitled to separate races, while
colts that pace are accorded but one race
say for 3-year and under eligible
to this, that or the other class. There is
neither justice in nor reason for any
such discrimination. PAGERS are much
more plentiful nowadays than they have
ever before been, and given an equa,
chance there would be many more colts
trained at the lateral gait. Not SO long
ago the colt that showed disposition to
pace too strongly to be overcome with
toe weights and other artificial appli-
ances was practically valueless, and even
yet, though there are score or more
PAGER breeding farms in the state of
Tennessee alone, it seems that the man.
ayers of associations are slow to accord
the PAGER the recognition to which his
intrinsic merit entities him. 1t needs
no great amount of proof to demonstrate
to the satisfaction of any thinking man
that If a colt first inclines to pace and
shows his best speed at that gait the full
fruition of his greatness will be acquir-
ed at that way of going; hence it fol-
lows that associations, by refusing the
means of applying the racing test, are
hindering the development of the pacing
horse.
The PAGER is as much a part of the
harness racing whole as the trotter, and
it certainly does not conduce to the
breeders veal that he is compelled to
convert with weights or hopples his fast
pacing colt to the trot or be content to
race him against horses that have APP
preached much nearer maturity. This
status has resulted in the transformation
of many good PAGER into a mediocre
trotter, no credit to breeder or breed.
Secretaries whose programmes are ar
ranged as stated will reply that there
are not enough pacing colts to fill prop
erly separate stakes for the ages named.
And right there is the rub. Managers
Of trotting associations are all too prone
TO require nominators 10 compete FOR
their own money. II they will open
guaranteed purses for PAGERS I, 3 or 5
years old and not expect that the nomi-
majors will contribute the entire amount
Of the purse, it will DO but short time
until such events fill Us well as those for
trotters OF the same ages. Give the colt
that PAGES an equal show with the colt
that trots. -Breeder's Gazette.

Tho Development OF p.n...

While there have been many changes
in the styles of coats and waistcoats,
trousers have come down to the present
pot greatly changed. Diodorus Siculus
says Of the Belize Gauls that ''they wore
close trousers, which they called brac-
cae." The Roman invasion brought bare
legs to Britain, and the braccae Of the
Gauls were discarded for the new order
sf things. When the Romans took leave
and were succeeded by the Saxon, the
braccae was compromised by style of
short drawers reaching half way down
the thigh and stockings coming up to
meet them. The drawers were called
breech or hose.

A NEW CURE FOR LuNAcY.

Some Interesting and Successful Exper.
ments by Eminent Specialists Of Vienna.
An interesting new method Of curing
mental diseases was expounded by Pro-
fessor Wagner, head of the psychiatric
department of Vienna university, at a
meeting last week. The cure is based
upon the fact, frequently experienced,
that mental maladies disappear if the
patient gets another illness of an entire
ly different kind, particularly fever.
Professor Wagner, following nature
inexplioable cure. has produced fever in
the insane by applying DR.. Koch's tu-
berculin In grave cases. The effect Of
this treatment was that, after every tu-
berculin injection, the insane patient
felt easier, the insanity recurring sew
eral times, but finally disappearing for
good.
Professor Albert, the we'll known sur
geon of Vienna university, corroborated
this testimony by recent case in his
department A patient who was suffer-
Ing from melanoholia had to go through
the operation Of TRANSMISSION of blood.
This caused high fever, during which
the state Of the patients mind was re-
markedly improved. When the fever
ceased, his mental condition was, to tho

THE CURLING OF CUPID.

Mr.. Dickens tells US that Bagnet, who
once had been a military man, but was
then playing bassoon in a theater, en-
tertained the highest possible opinion oil
Mrs. Bagnet, but would never own it be-
fore her lest it might destroy the discipline
OF his domestic establishment. "The old
girl has no equal" he would say; 'she
is finer than fine day; would rather
have her opinion on any point than that
OF college. But never tell her so. Dis
cipline must be maintained" and many
other words to the same effect.
1t appears also that discipline Is every
thing with the Salvation Army, and must
be maintained even to the sundering OF
loving hearts and the cashiering of Col
onel Cupid. This is no inference. 1t is
q fact plainly stated in the new Field
Book. In this interesting publication
Irritation, courtship, love and marriage
are subjected to ironclad rules and regu-
lations, as If it were matter OF purchas-
ing corn and hay for the horses. For
example, il some latter Captain Swosser
falls-raked fore and aft by the fire from
her tops (Which was Captain Swosser's
naval and poetic way OF referring to the
eyes of the future Mrs, Swosser), it be-
comes his duty, according to the new
Field Book, to report the matter at once
TO his superior officers, not emitting to
describe his sensations in the minutest
manner, in order that it mag be deter
mined whether the case is one which de-
mands the separation OF the principals
or the services OF the chaplain Of the
regiment. Different degrees OF love are
subject to different rules, but every de.
gree has its rule, and it is all, as Mr.. Bag.
net would say, "that discipline may be
maintained"
This is just rebuke to Cupid. the vel

arrows whose points are dipped in the

Since Venus gave him birth he has been

Tossing no man his master, and nc

that when he enters the Salvation Army
be must submit to the ironbonnd rules

well throw away his darts, stuff his
culver with copies of the War Cry and

PIERCED THROUGH BY a DRILL.
The Iron Entered His Back and Came Out
Through His Ribs.

The Iron Entered His Back and Came Out
Through His Ribs.
They wero discussing last night at a
miners boarding house the stabbing
of Tom Lynch at the Butte hotel, and
a number of the cases of similar ma
ture were brought up in which the in
jured men recovered and were as hearty
as ever.
1.-THE most remarkable case, though,
that ever heard of, F." said Jerry Harri-
gan, twas that of Pat Mulligan, with
whom worked for many year. In
June. 1881, Mulligan was working at
the Gray Rock, when the shaft on that
property was about 225 feet deep. Null
ligan was one of the sinking crew, and
one day the bucket which was used for
taking out the waste and water was be-
ing hoisted to the surface. The bucket
was almost filled with water, and the
shaft men, unknown to the topman, put
six dull drills in the bucket to be sent
ON top to be sharpened. The topman
dumped the water i'll a trough at the
collar of the shaft without closing the
trapdoors on top, and one of the drills
rolled out, struck the trough and fell
off down the shaft. 1t was an inch drill
about two feet long and weighed about
six pounds.
"Mulligan was in STOPPING position
when the drill struck him. 1t hit him
back Of the shoulder blade. passed clean
through the body, narrowly missing his
heart, and partly emerged from be-
tween the ribs. Mulligan' g horror strick-
en- companions in the shaft rushed to
his assistance, and were about to pull
the drill out from his back when Multi
gan calmly seized the lower end of the
drill from where it protruded, and by
great effort pulled it through his body
and threw ii down at his feet.
sit was wonderful exhibition of
strength and fortitude, but everybody
who heard Of the accident was confident
that he could not survive. He hovered
between life and death for about three
weeks, and finally got apparently as
well as ever. He worked for ten years
in the mines of Butte and Granite, but
finally met with horrible death at the
Anaconda mine ON Nov. 4, 1891, by
falling with eight others from the cage
while being hoisted from the mine. -

The public will miss the genial ''Bill
Nye." He had mine OF humor pecu-
liarly his own. and while there was evil
dence at times that he worked il too fast.
the nuggets of fun were for the most part
of the genuine quality. Nye's humor is
described as OF the Western Style" but
as there are probably no geographical
divisions Of humor it will be quite as ac-
curate to speak OF it as the Bill Nye type.
Anyhow. there was no other exactly like
1t. Nye's humor was not scholarly, as
was Eugene Fields. He did not FURNISH
his goods as Mark Twain did his when he
was a fan producer. He Was more
grotesque than Burdette in his Burlington
Hawkeye sketches, but il he yielded to
the influence of any other humorous
writer's il was that OF Burdette, Of the
HdCksve, and Bailey, of the Danbury
Ners. both of whom made fun for the
public before he came on the stage with
his odd eonceits and quaint methods.
For some years he bad been more widely
read and more thoroughly enjoyed than
any other humorous writer. and he will
be more universally missed than any
other fun maker since Artemus Ward.
