The Spirit OF Racing In America.

Before the war Of the Revolution the
English officers quartered about New York
had established "a race course on Long
Island, and ever since then there has been
racing in the neighborhood Of the metrop
oils. now, without question, tho racing
center of the United States. In the old
time races there WAS nearly always deal
of sentiment this often taking sectional
form, as for instance, when Eclipse repre-.
sented the north and Henry the south in O
race at four mile heats on Long Island in
1923 From the journal of Josiah Quincy
we learn that 100, 900 persons were spec
tators OF this race, and that he was so in
terested in the sport that he sat in the sun
till one of his cheeks was blistered with
out at the time being conscious of the in
tense heat.
At this race it is interesting to recall
that John Randolph of Roanoke sat just
In front of Mr.. Quincy, who said Of the
Virginian: Apart from his intense Sec
tional pride, he had personal interest at
the turn things were taking, for he had
bet heavily on the contest, and, it was
said, proposed to sail for Esrope upon
clearing enough to pay his expenses u
This was after Henry had won the first
heat, for in tho next heat, when Eclipse's
proper rider, Purdy, was in the saddle, the
tables were turned, and the race went to

Eskimo Astronomy.

The polar inhabitants of the northern
regions visited 10y Lieutenant Peary have
definite but limited ideas of astronomy
In writing Of them Peary says that they
recognize the Great Dipper as herd Of
reindeer; the three triangular stars Of
Cassiopea are the three stones supporting
a celestial stone lamp; the Pleiades are a
team Of dogs IN pursuit of a bear the three
glittering briliiants in the belt Of Orion
are the steps cut by some celestial Eskimo
IN steep snow bank to enable him TO climb
TO the top
Gemini are two stones in the entrance
20 an iglOO; Arcturus and Aldebaran are
personiticatious and the moon and sun are
a maiden and her pursuing lover
These Eskimos estimate time by the
movements OF the stars as well as by the
position Of the sun, and yet, less observant
than were the Arab shepherds, they have
not noticed that one star is the center about
which all the others move, nor have they
set apart the planets, which TO them are
simply large stars. Whether this is due to
the fact that the movements of stars can
be observed during only about three
months In the year, 1t is impossible to say

| mary To Their ieats.
There a no one side OF the side shows
| and minor features OF museums and fairs
which seems on It's face more attractive
than the exhibition Of so called educated
feas There is something In the idea OF
educating any of tho lower animals that
appeals to us all, and the lower the animal
the more there is In 1t Of interest to the
people. The suggestion even that it Is
possible TO get insects TO perform tricKs
which seem as II the result OF Intelligence
excites at once the sympathies OF speota'
tors. and the educated flea calls together
companies who are delighted with the ap.
parent results, although really Ignorant OF
the causes or of the fact that each trick
means the death of that particular flea.
II one will reflect but moment, tho
absurdity Of educating so ephemera' an
animal as the flea becomes apparent
After couple OF weeks as legloss little
worm the young flea spins for itself CO.

OF weeks longer, when 1t awakes in its
familiar form for brief existence of few

Of the tricks that he is 10 perform Is out

attained are by purely mechanical and

perform Is something in which its in

miniature cannon, or does some other
simple thing requiring only feeble pull

sharp pointed wire which Is stuck into the
body of the unfortunate insect, and in its
struggles to escape the poor flea performs
its trick and the amused spectators are
not aware of the cruelty to which 1t Is
subjected If passengers In the shape of
other fleas are desired to make the wagon
trick more remarkable, or a coachman or
a footman, they may be readily had by
impaling others Of the insects upon prop
erly placed wires resulting, Of course,
In torture and death to them as we'll. Our
local societies have put stop to these ex-
hibitions in this state, and very properly
so, for the very meanest Of created things

TWO HANDED SWORDS.
Enormous Weapons That No Ordinary
Man Could WELD.

Tn the thirteenth fourteenth and hf'
teenth centuries the development OF the
sword was carried forward rapidly. Hith-
erto tho military organization OF Europe
had been of the most irregular character,
but I'm the fourteenth century the German
troops and the men from the Swiss noun
tains became known far and wide for their
thorough discipline and excellent organi-
cation. They approached more nearly 10
the modern idea OF soldier than any
troops that had yet been put In the Held,
and they were employed as hired troops py
The various European sovereigns. Ihey
we're armed with pistol and huge two
handed sword which, through their mar.
yelously skillful handling, became one or
The most famous weapons OF the army
This 1.-TWO handler as the Germans called
{. often reached length OF seven feet,
md one still preserved In Westminster
abbey weighs quite is pounds
The wavy outline OF the blade, a style OF
decoration that was much in favor IN the
arts about this time, and from which came
our "namboyant, or flaming" gave
greater efficacy TO the blow The prongs
below the crosspieces protected the guard
Welded by trained men, this weapon was
capable of doing terrific execution The
brawny man-at-arms grasped the sword
firmly in both hands; balanced on one foot
he swung the blade in n circle above his
head and fetched crashing blow that
moved down everything before it. 1t was
q favorite weapon with the English sol
diery, 10 whose strongly built frames Its
huge proportions were we'll adapted.
Richard the Lion Hearted, who from his
great size alone would have been the fore
most man on any field, handled this heavy
weapon with such strength and skill that
his name became a terror to the foe.
According TO an old romance, an expert
swordsman might hope to leave 90 of the
enemy disabled on the field. But these
mighty brands had all the faults of their
virtues. Like the cumbrous armor of the
Gothic period, they were sore tax on the
spent energies Of the weary soldier, and
owing to their awkward size, extreme care
was required in handling them lest an I'M
expected blow might be bestowed upon
some fellow soldier In the furious assault.
Besides, it took lifetime OF training TO
produce men OF sufficient strength and
1exterity to render effective service. THE
