Sheridan In Eattle.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning With Grant in The Century,
says Of Sheridan at AppoInattox: No
one could look at Sheridan at such a
moment without a sentiment of pndis-
guised admiration. In this campaign,
as in others, he had shown himself pos
sessed OF military traits Of the highest
order. Bold il conception, self reliant,
demonstrating by his acts that much
danger makes great hearts most reso-
lutte fertile i'll resources, combining
the rest1essness of q Hotspur with the
patience of a Eabius, 1t ia no wonder
that he should have been looked upon
as the wizard OF the battlefield. Gener-
GUS Of his life, gifted with the ingenu-
ity Of a Hannibal, the dash of a Murat,
the courage of a Ney, the magnetism of
his presence reused his troops to deeds
of individual horoisn, and his uncon-
querable columns rushed to victory with
all the confidence Of CAESARS Tenth le-
gion Wherever blows fell thickest
there was his crest. Despite the valor
of the defense opposing ranks went
down before the ferceness of his onsets,
never to rise again, and he would not
pause till the folds Of his banner waved
above The strongholds he had wrested
from the foe. Brave Sheridan l can
almost see him now, his silent clay
again quickened into life, once more
riding Rienzi through fire of hell,
leaping opposing earthworks at single
bound, and leaving nothing of those
who barred his way except the frag-
ments scattered in his path. AS long as
manly courage is talked Of or heroic
deeds are honored the hearts of a CRATE
full people will beat responsive to the
mention Of the talismanic name Of Sher-
idan

Take Care of Yourself.

Think deliberately of the house you
live in-your body. Make up your
mind firmly not to abuse it, Eat moth
ing that will hurt it. Wear nothing
that distorts or pains it. Do not over
load it with victuals or drink or work.
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad.
Do not take cold; guard yourself against
it. If you feel the first symptoms, give
yourself heroic treatment Get into a
fine glow Of heat by exercise. This is
the only body you will have in this
world. Study deeply and diligently the
structure Of it, the laws that govern it,
the pains and penalty that will surely
follow violation Of every law Of life
and health. Medical Reporter.

They Are Known as the Deaf and Dumb
TripIets.
"There is in Tennessee a family of
three sisters which presents some of the
most startling peculiarities magma
ble," said Mr.. j. J. Kennedy of that
state. 1.-The three sisters live together
on farm, their sole means of subsist-
ence, and work early and late to earn q
livelihood Two of them work in the
field; the third does the cooking and 9TH
er Homework
"There is but one period of the year
when any member of the trio has any
thing to say to any other member. All
during the winter, spring and summer
they go about their business with the
seal of silence on their lips When fall
comes and the crop is harvested, they
break the silence, and then only to quar-
rel over the division of the proceeds.
When each has succeeded in getting all
that she thinks possible, silence reigns
again until the next harvest time
THE sisters, as you may judge, have
made name for themselves They are
known far and near as the deaf and
dumb triplets, although such a title is
scarcely appropriate. " - Washington

THE LADY ANNE, ORA RUNAWAY HORSE.

THE LADY ANNE ORA RUNAWAY HORSE.
Early IN the spring, Lord W and
part of his family went up to London, and
took York with them. | and Ginger and
some other horace were LETT at home for
use, and the head groom was left in charge
The Indy Harriet, who remained at the
hall, was great invalid, and never went
out in the carriage, and the Lady Anne
preferred riding on horseback with her
brother or cousins, She was u perfect
horsewoman, and as gay and gentle as she
was beautiful. She chose me for her horse,
and named me Black Austen enjoyed
these rides very much in the clear cold
air, sometimes with Ginger, sometimes
with Lizzie. This Lizzie was bright bay
mare almost thoroughbred, and great
favorite with the gentlemen. on account of
her fine action and lively spirit; but Gin
ger, who knew more of her than did,
told me she was rather nervous
There was a gentleman of the name Of
Blantyre staying at the Hall; he always
rode Lizzie, and praised her so much that
one day Lady Anne ordered the side-sad-
die to be put on her and the other saddle
on me. When we came to the door, the
gentleman seemed very uneasy,
GLOW is this?" he said Are you tired
of your good Black Auster?7
"Oh, no, not at ALL she replied but
am amiable enough 70 let you ride him
for once, and l will try your charming
Lizzie. You must confess that in size and
appearance she is far more like ladys
horse than my own favorite.'

he said she is a charming creature, but
she is too nervous for lady, l assure
you, she is not perfectly safe; let ms beg
you to have the saddles changed.

AS Commonly Used as Ever Some Changes
In Customs.


In Customs.
The sIeighbolls used in this country
are made here, most of them in Con
necticut, and many sleighbells of
American manufacture are exported to
Germany and to Russia. Sleighbells
are as commonly used as ever whenever
there is snow enough to make good
sleighing They may not be heard SO
much as formerly here in the city,
where the snow is cleared away from
many streets and wheels cut up what is
left, but up the state and elsewhere the
sleighbells jingle in winter just as mer-
rily as ever.
There have been some changes in
sleighbell customs. Shaft bells and
bells fixed on the saddle Of the harness
have to some extent taken the place Of
the old time string Of bells on straps,
but the strings of bells are still the
more commonly used. Probably third
of the bell outfits sold nowadays are of
the kind that fasten to shafts or tho
saddle of the harness and two-thirds
are strings of bells The bells exported
bells attached to shafts and harness are
open mouthed and provided with
tongues. Some shaft bells are made
with ali three in a set alike; 6ftener
they are made in three sizes, forming
chime. The three bells carried over the
saddle of the harness are set in an orna-
mental frame, which is supported by
the saddle.
The sleighbells of the old, familiar
kind, round, with balls inside, are at
tached to straps, as they have always
been, to body straps encirolfng the
horses body, and to neck straps.
Sleighbells are made Of bell metal,
and they We're never made with such
care with view to their sound prOduo-
ing qualities, nor were they ever so mu-
steal, as now. The c0mmoner kinds Of
sleighbells are produced at very small
cost, and whole strings Of bells are sold
at prices that seem marvelously low.
Shaft bells of the commoneE kinds are
cheaper yet, and that accounts in some
measure for the increased sales Of shaft
bells
The question has often been asked,
and as often answered, How does the
ball get inside of the sleighbell? The
question is here again answered. OF
course the ball itself is first cast. It is
then placed inside the ball of sand THAI
is to form the core of the mold In which
the sleighbell Is to be cast. The mold
is Of the form aud size of the outside of
the sleighbell. The core almost fills
the interior Of the mold, but not quite.
There is left all around, between it and
the mold, q little space. Into this space
the molten metal is poured, and when
it hardens it IS 4 hollow globe Of metal,
with the mold outside and the core in
side. When the sleighbell is taken
from the mold, the sand of which the
core is composed, having been dried out
by the heat of the molten metal, can
easily be shaken out Of the bell through
its narrow mouth, but the ball which
has been placed in the sand before the
bell was cast is bigger than the mouth
OF the bell that now surrounds it, and
SO it has to stay in New York Sun,

GAMBLING RACE TRAcKs.-The popular
uprising in Cecil county against perpetual
race-track gambling and its demOralizing in
fuences merits the hearty support of the
whole State of Maryland. The gamblers
who own and operate these tracks have
been driven out of New Jersey and Pennsy-
Nania by the force of public opinion and
have sought refuge in Maryland, where, un-
der an ingenious but simple system, they
are enabled to carry on such vicious and
corrupting practices that it is libel on
horse-race betting to call this species of
money grabbing by that name. Under the
Maryland law the operations of each track
are limited to thirty days.
