expected that such an event will attract
entries from all over the United States.
California alone should be good for 400
nominations. Whether the event will
be run in the spring or fall is yet to be
decided.
The death Of Sol Sharp will probably
bring to an end the bitter rivalry that
has for years existed among the pool
room owners and race track managers in
Covington. Sharp was the head and
front Of the opposition to the Siminton-
Applegate forces, and, although very lit
tie was made public concerning their
differences. 1t is we'll known that they
clashed on every occasion, says the Gin
cinnati Post.
The war Of racing interests between
the two factions began in Covington
years ago, when Sharp, who was un-
known, opened Il pool room in the Boro
building. Every effort was made by the
Simonton crowd, who ran things then, to
put Shary out Of the business. He made
money 50 fast, however, that he became
as powerful as his opponents.
When the fight made against the pool
rooms began to prove rninous to the
business Sharp was the moving spirit be-
hind the scheme to build Il new race
track in Campbell county,
In this he was opposed by the crow,
which had tried to shut him out Of til,
pool room business. The track was bull,
however, and Sharp at the time Of his
death was the largest stockholdcr.

Commerce and Finance.

There was little disposition to trade in
Flour, and only small lots changed hands
to satisfy actual wants. Buyers were
holding off for concessions, which the
mills were unwilling to make. Bran on
the spot was scarce, particularly winter,
and prices were stronger with fair de-
mand for the better grades. Hay was in
moderate supply, with Il steady inquiry
for No. and choice stock at full prices.
Straw was quiet and steady, with ample
offerings. Wheat opened weak, under
bearish speculation in other domestic
grain centres, due to lower cables, and the
call was &c. below yesterdays final rates.
Corn options ruled steady up to the close
Of the call There was little speculative
disposition to trade, but fair demand
prevailed from exporters. Local car lots
were unchanged and quiet, with moder-
ate offerings. Oats in car lots were in
small spot supply and firm, but jobbers
bought sparingly. Cotton was unchang-
ed. Refined Sugars were in fair request
and steady. Provisions were quiet on a
basis of quoted rates.

You have the zodiacal sign Leo
which the sun rules, rising at birth and
therefore the Sun is your ruling planet
or signiicator. The sign Leo usually
denotes a wiry, muscular, slender fig
ure, with wide shoulders in proportion
to the rest of the body; the complexion
fair and ruddy; the hair and eyes light;
the eyes are large and in some cases
they would be called 'popeyes." You
are of a sunny, cheerful temperament;
you are charitable and generous, too
much so for your own good; you are
very restless when not busy at some
thing; you are very apt to borrow
trouble in some way or cross bridges
before you get to them; you are appar-
emily quick tempered yet seldom get
your deep anger aroused; yet when you
do you become very fierce like the lion;
when your anger is once aroused you
will give somebody that was the cause
of it the full benefit of your opinion re-
gardless of their position or rank. You
have more than average pride and am
bition and have natural gift of
language.

An ingenious Frer Gilman has sug-

flower, could be caused to appear grow.
ing and unfolding in the presence of a
roomful of spectators. He proposes to
employ the kinematoscope, a magic
lantern so arranged as to produce mov-
ing figures on a screen by means OF
series of photographs of living OBJ
jects, each successive photograph hav-
ing been taken only small fraction of
a second later than its immediate pre-
decessor. But for the proposed new ap-
plcation of this instrument the pho
tographs need not be made so near to-
gether, since they are to represent
changes which require several months
for their development. Beginning with
the first appearance of the bud, several
thousand photographs of a growing
rose are to be taken, just near enough
together so the change Of form in flower
is almost imperceptible, until it has
attained it's complete bloom, and then
has faded and fallen to pieces. These
photographs, being passed as trans
parencies, in rapid succession, through
the kinematoscope, there would appear
upon the screen the figure Of rose Wis
IDLY budding. growing, opening, spread
ing its petals, and finally shrivelling
and dying, the whole process occupying
but few minutes Many other appli
cations of this principle to the repre-
sentation of growing objects are sug-

How an Eccentric New York Man Guards
His wife's Body.
Jonathan Reed, who passes the
greater part of his leisure time guard
ing the tomb of his wife In the Ever
greens cemetery, Brooklyn, has been
requested by the cemetery authorities
NOT to admit so many visitors to the
vault as he has been in the habit OF
doing, says an exchange. The vault
was built according to Mr.. Reeds own
ideas after the death of his wife, over
three years ago The interior Of the
vault is ten feet wide, ten feet high
and thirteen feet long. The vestibule
is hung with Japanese bead portieres
and the walls are adorned with por-
traits and bric-a-brac gathered by Mr..
and Mrs. Reed during their European
travels. There are two metallic collins.
One is Theoretically sealed and con-
tains the body of Mr.. Reeds wife. The
other awaits Mr. Reeds body. "They

or the Solar Year.

In the arrangement of the civil
year, two objects are sought to bt
accomplished-frst, the equable dis
tribution of the days among twelve
months; and secondly, the preserva-
tion of the beginning of the year at
the same distance from the solstices or
equinoxes. Now, as the year consists
of 365 days and fraction, and 365 is
number not divisible by IL, 1t is i'm
possible that the months can all be
Of the same length, and at the same
time include all the days of the year.
BY reason also of the fractional excess
of the length of the year above 365
days, 1t likewise happens that the years
cannot all contain the same number Of
days If the epoch of their commence
ment remains fixed; for the day and the
civil year must necessarily be consid-
cred as beginning at the same instant;
and therefore the extra hours cannot
be included in the year till they have
accumulated to whole day. AS soon
as this has taken place, an additional
day must be given to the year.

Queen Marie Amelie OF Portugal Is
the most capable and we'll endowed,
mentally, of all the children OF the late
lComte de Paris. She married when
quite girl, and has lived away from
France for many years, but has ever
remained a true Orleanist, and hopes
that her brother may yet become king
of the French. The queen makes over
her own hats and bonnets. She has a
workroom in the palace at Lisbon, and
she can copy Paris model to perfec-
tion. She is q very handsome woman.
Her fair hair and clear skin make her
look still quite young in a country
where women age with painful rapid
ity. She is passionately devoted to
her two sons, and, IL only for their
sake she will exert all her knowledge
Of the world and inborn ability to save
Portugal from the progressive changes
which promise to make its people free
and leave monarchy without foothold
in its sunny cline. Dom Carlos, hei
husband, has great faith in the wisdom
of the queen, and 1t is by her advice
that one or the other of the heads OF
the royal family is ever in the coun-
try. This resolution imposes many

the exchanges of visits. the giving and

Paper has been put to variety of
uses, butts most curious employment is
foreshadowed in the recent patenting
of a blotting-paper towel. The idea
is that a person on stepping out of his
morning bath, instead of rubbing him
self dry in the orthodox manner,
should envelop his body in towel Of
blotting-paper, which will, without
trouble, and in a few seconds, absorb
all the moisture upon his skin. The
idea is ingenious, but it does away with
that wholesome friction which many
believe to be so beneficial to the skin.
