OF these animals were in proportion to

RAG ING IN MOSCOW.
The Horses Run Not Side by Side. but In

1t Is a racing day in Moscow. The

lie stand, with seating room for sew
eral thousand people, and special box,
with tent hangings, for the governor
general, surmounted by the imperial
eagle in gold In front of this box, low
er down. you see the prizes, consisting
of gold and silver cups. vases and orna-
mental pieces. all i'll Russian style and
taste.
A bell rings, the course is cleared by
mounted gendarmes and the competitors
in due order take their places in front
OF the stand, but not side by side, as
they always start from opposite sides OF
the course, with heads also turned in
opposite directions. The usual race
course hum and noise of the betting
men are heard and increase in volume
as the bell rings the second time. They
are off And the fascination of rapid
motion, open air and strenuous exertion
throws its spell over the assembly, high
and low, for trotting is certainly the
most fashionable and beloved sport in
Russia. You cannot recognize people
just yet-the great fur collars are raised
and reach over the fur caps, leaving
only red tipped noses, beneath which
appear never missing cigarettes. The
ladies' heads are almost entirely GOV.

you can only guess who is who. To q
stranger not investing his money in
backing his opinion as to winners, the
game might seem monotonous enough,
as the horses do not finish side by side,
but in the way they started. Yet the
Russians think differently, and. besides,
are there not plenty Of vodka and caviare
to be had between the races?
Single horses are pitted against each
other, drawing light little sleighs, in
which the driver is seated very low
down and far away from the horse, ow-
Ing to the long shafts intended to give
the horse perfect freedom of action. A
whip is not used, but on the reins are
metal buckles over the quarters, which
are employed instead, and almost all
horses run without blinkers.
Sometimes horse is attached to the
sleigh OH one side of the trotter, who is
between the shafts. He is the pacemak-
or and gallops the whole course,
whereas, it need not be said, the trottel
must not break. Then follow pair
horses, harnessed, and lastly troikas
with three horses, sometimes -four
abreast. Troikas are very barbarously
gaudy and clumsy things to look at, but
exceedingly comfortable all the same

Insect Pests In Hawaii.

Few countries have been more plagued
by the importation of insect pests than
the Hawaiian Islands, and none has
benefited so greatly by the introduction
of species to destroy them. The greatest
harm was done by scale insects, which
multiplied enormously and spread all
over the islands. To counterfeit these
pests coccinellid9, vulgarly known as
ladybirds, were introduced into the
islands in 1890 and were complete
success. They became perfectly natural
lied, increased prodigiously for time,
almost cleared the trees and then, as
their prey became comparatively scarce,
decreased in numbers, only TO reappear
when the plague returned some time
afterward in the island of Kanui. The
fruit trees Oh this island especially the
orange and lime, were in most de-
plorable condition from the attacks of
aphis and scales. Very few ladybirds
could bo seen, hut in few weeks they
swarmed, and in six months time the
infested trees were all in perfect condi-
ton, full Of fruit and flower. The rea-
son why the imported beneficial insects
have done so much good in Hawaii,
while elsewhere their success has been
less marked, is that the remote portions
of the islands and the consequently
limited fauna have given free scope for
increase to the new arrivals. New

Mr.. Robinson tells of IL crowns Of
gold, set with precious stones, found in
1858 by some Spanish peasants near
Toledo. One of the crowns has the
Gothic name of Suinthila, who reigned
from Gal to 63l. Who buried them? We
shall never know. The brooch of Tara,
Irish work of the seventh century, was
picked up by child on the seashore in
1850. A viking robber may have
dropped it. The bullion of English
kings was found in 1910 at Cuerdale,

Our NeighbOrs.

Our neighbors generally are the peo-
pie who have houses near to our own,
that nearness varying according to the
size of the district and the number of
householders of the same social rank as
ourselves. In town they live in the
same street; i'll apartments they are on
the same corridor; in the country they
are separated by field only or garden
wall; in sparsely tenanted places they
are at distance of a mile or two miles,
or it may be six. And the neighbor par
excellence is the one who lives close
alongside of ourselves-perhaps in the
other half of the semidetachod house
where we have our home or just across
the road and opposite, not to the side.
This is the general idea of a neighbor,
and when we use the term we rarely
mean aught else.
But in point of fact we have neigh
bors wherever we turn-men and wom-
Ell to whom we are bound TO render
such service of kindness as comes into
the possibilities of the time and place
1t is not only domicile and the rates
and taxes which make us neighbOrs. 1t
is not only when we live divided by
party wall one from the other at the
foot Of the hill, or standing face to face
across the road, when we can signal our
goings out and our comipgs in and be
helpful and neighborly in the matter of
the garden roller and the preserving
pan. 1t is not only when we know all
the family history, and how our friends
and neighbors are impeccable as to their
grandfather and without the crooked
lines of scandal across their family
escutcheon. 1t is not necessary to be
intimate, nor even to have been intro
duced, for the obligations Of neighbor-
illness to be strict and strong. For
wherever we can render service, show
O courtesy or do kindness we have our
work cut out for us i'll the way of duty
to our neighbor, and he is our neighbor
who stands in need, great or small, OF
such help as we can offer.-Philadel-
phia Times.

Mingling with Strangers.

The effect Of mingling with new peo-
pie who have new methods Of thought
is very salutary. Always to see the
same people do the same things, feel the
same way, produces stagnant condi-
ton of the mind and heart that is very
distressing to behold. There are thou
sands of invalids who might be greatly
benefited by getting away from home,
if only for short time, to mingle with
strangers and be touched with the mag
netism of the great world as it courses
in its accustomed rounds. And there are
mental and moral invalids who need
the same change, to get their heart and
mind enlarged and let in little more
of the great light of life. Outside in
fiuences are very valuable to those who
at home have been well trained by
healthful influences in early youth, so
they can avoid the snares and pitfalls
into which some so often blindly fall

Abuse of Free Dispensaries.

Much discussion has been caused OF
late by the alleged abuse of the privi-
leges of the free dispensaries DR..
George f. Shrady of New York wrote
recently that fully 30 per cent of the
patients who apply for free medical aid
are totally undeserving of such charity.
In New York alone there are 1l6 dis
pensaries, each one of which is vying
with the others in propagating the worst
form of pauperism. The institutions in
question are all crowded daily by hun
dreds of we'll to do patients who are
encouraged to defraud the really poor

A Reckless Waste.

A Kennard street man who has until
recently been the possessor OF large
mustache and very little hair shaved off
the former. When he reached home
after this sacrifice, his family had to
look at him several times before they
recognized him. After awhile they be-
came more accustomed to his altered
appearance, and finally his little girl,
whose looks still denoted her astonish-
ment, said:
"Well, anyway, papa, it was shame
to waste your mustache. Why didn't
you have the barber stick it on the top
of your head?"-Clevelan Plain

The CompOnte.

Southern countries are usually ad-
yanced in cruel and novel methods OF
punishment. Puerto Rico has one which
is known as the componte.
1t consists in beating the individual
with "manate" until he faints. Some
times, however, it is carried out to the
extreme and becomes form of capital
punishment, the last blows being given
to persons sentenced to death with
niece of iron.

Two Kinds of Gardens.

Most of us have met the two kinds OF
gardens which Alfred Austin, the Eng
lish poet, differentiates as owners gar
dens and gardeners gardens. According
to the poet laureate, nearly all the
grand and costly gardens are gardeners
gardens And then he alludes to the
small cottage gardens, little village
or secluded plats, cultivated and made
beautiful by the pathetic expedients of
the poor" which seem to have a charm
that the others cannot rival. 1t Is ill.,
deed the glory of our beloved art that
it is open to the rich and poor alike.
The former seek to make much of it, the
latter find some Of their sweetest joys
and delights therein. 1t is one of the
commonest of events for the poor to
grow flowers so handsome and so
abundant that a monarch might well
envy their success. Flowers are the APP
propriate gift of love. Is it strange,
therefore, that success in their culture
seems to be largely in proportion as we
love them?-Vick's Magazine.
