Sowing Pansy Seed.

During early October is a good time
for sowing pansy seed for next springs
supply of plants for bedding out. The
reason for fall sowing out of doors is
that the plants are not then subjected
to the hot, drying influences of the
house, which are SO likely to bring on
red spider and other troubles.
Prepare a bed of very rich, porous
loan on a we'll drained location. Place
over it a flame to be filed with forest
leaves as a protection to the little plants
over winter. After sowing the seed in
the bed sift a very light covering of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them. During the process of germina-
ton never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect germina-
ton of any seed.
As severe weather approaches cover
the bed with a few inches of litter of
some sort, forest leaves being preferable.
At the proper time in the spring the
seedlings may be pricked out of the soil
in the seedbed and transferred to the
bed in which they are to bloom.-Wom-

TENNYSON FAITH.
The Pr0bleM of the Future Life Had
the Dominant Interest.

A reader of the "Life of Tennyson, "
by his son, will be struck by the fact
that no subject interested him so deep
ly as the problem of the future life. He
will also observe that it was always a
problem to him, one that he was con-
stantly raising, that would not stay set
tied. To be sure, he was a believer in
Immortality, but not a restful believer.
He was all the time digging up the
roots Of his faith to be sure they were
alive. The old question would not stay
unanswered. TIE reader of his poetry
observes the same thing. He is always
on the side of faith, but of a somewhat
disturbed faith. He belonged to that
metaphysical society" which invited
into it's membership believers of all
shades, with all shades of unbelievers,
whose object was to raise and answer
doubts about God and the future life.
He was the spokesman of the scientific
doubt of the age, futtering over the
dovecots Of faith, but hardly settling
and resting and nesting therein.
One observes the contrast with this
futtering faith who reads the poems of
Milton, with their abiding faith in the
future life. This is the spiritual con
trast between "In Memoriam" and
"Lycidas." In Millions requiem, even
under its ~paganized form, there is a ro-
bust and jubilant faith in God and
eternal life. No question enters. The
mind and heart are satisfied. The dear
friend is beyond all doubt among the
saints and choirs above. One regrets
that Tennyson's mental structure per-
haps could find positiveness and rest on
questions of politics or poetry, but
must perennially dubitate-to be sure,
with the hopeful balance of probability
over questions of faith. 81 believe I
know" he once said, "the quantity of
every word in the English language
except scissors, but one seems to de-
tect a RIGHTEOUSNESS in his best express
sion of faith, ~ hope to meet my Pilot
face to face, when l have crossed the
bar. "-Independent.

One Dny Mt n Time.

1t is a blessed secret, says the British
Weekly, this of living by the day.
Any u can carry his burden, however
heavy, till nightfall. Any one can live
sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely,
till the sun goes down. And this is all
that life ever really means to us-just
n little day. Do today's duty. Fight
today's temptations, and do not weaken
and distract yourself by looking for
ward to things you cannot see and could
not understand if you saw them. God
gives Us nights to shut down the cur
tain of darkness on ur little days. We
cannot see beyond. Short horizons
make life easier and give us one of
brave, true, holy living.

HARNESS REINS.
Made From the Stoutest of Leather.
A Word About Hand Holds.

Made From the Stoutest of Leather.
A Word About Hand Holds.
The reins of a set Of single harness
are each about IS feet in length, those
of a double harness about 10 feet. For
business harness reins are made of
leather, tanned black; the reins Of car
rage harness are made Of russell colored
leather.
Reins require to be very stout, and
they are almost always made of steer
hide, the leather Of which traces are
made, these, however, being Of more
than one thickness Occasionally lines
for light or for cheap harness are made
of cowhide, but not often. AS a rule the
best of leather is used for the reins,
even in cheap harness. There can be OBJ
tanned from the hides of leather suitable
for reins strips from seven to nine feet
in length, SO that reins are always of
necessity made in two pieces.
The loops, Or hand holds, often seen
on the reins of track or road horses are
commonly made of lighter leather
stitched together and then sometimes
stitched to the reins, but more often Sc
cured to them in such a manner that
they can be shifted on the reins to suit
the convenience of the driver. The
three loop hold, which is called the
Boston hand hold, is commonly used for
track driving. The single loop is the
one used by most drivers on the road.
There are patent hand holds made of
metal. The wooden buttons sometimes
seen on reins, used as hand holds, are
made in pairs, one button of each pair
having a stem, with a thread cut on it,
which goes through the rein and is
screwed into the other button Of the
pair on the opposite side.-New York

A FAT MEMS RACE.
An Effort to Get Robinson and Her
ford TO Test Their Speed.

Baltimore, Aug. 12.-The proposed foot
race between Captain Robinson, of the
Oriole baseball club, and ''Al' Herford is
resting. representative of Mr.. Herford
took 800 Of Herford's money and asked
Robbie" if he would make a match. He
said he would, but wanted the race around
the bases at Union Park. This would not
suit Herford, whose only practice at this
kind of running has been in criticising ball
players.
Later Robinson said that BIodie was
anxious for the match, and he and
Herford We're about the same weight he
thought they could arrange a good race.
Robbie" said that he weighed $50 pounds
while Herford gives his weight as 200
pounds Herford says ne does not want TO
run Brodie but he had an idea that he
was as fast or faster than Robinson and
was anxious 10 measure strides with him.
The heavy build Of Robinson makes him
look slow when running on the ball field,
but the fact is that he is no snail nor even
a lobster. but on the contrary, as fast
as the wind when the wind is blowing at
his gait
1t was suggested that the race be given
al Union Park some afternoon just before
a baseball game. If Robinson can be per-
suaded TO make the race straighaway in
stead of around bases il would undoubtedly
be a sight worth going distance TO see.
Both men are very popular in this city,
and there would be considerable friendly
roofing. A wag said yesterday he thought
they should be paced by tallyho automo-

New Bedford, Mass, Aug. 12.-The con-
test between the COLUMBIA and Defender,
SO far has served well in trying out The
respective merits of the two sloops. Fur
thermore, ii has afforded TO those who
have watched their work closely line on
the possibilities of the Columbia as the
defender of the Americas Cup. 1t must be
admitted, without prejudice, that the new
Herreshoff's creation is not yet tuned up
TO championship form. With all that is
due her, her work has not stamped her
as up to the mark that was held by yachts
men when Lpton's challenge came across
the pond. She shows a speedier brace of
heels and works UP into the wind better
than the Defender Yet the margin is Eot
so great as to remove all fears as TO the
safety of the cup. She is a better traveller
in a smooth sea, even though the wind is
blowing big guns, but Thursdays reach
from Newport TO Vineyard Haven and the
run of Wednesday from the time that Point
Judith was left behind until the sloops
swept over the finish line conclusively
proved the Defender TO be the smarter
boat in a rough sea. AT no time was this
brought home so indisputably as when
they left in their wake Vineyard Sound
lightship with twenty miles to go. The
sharp gusts struck the Columbia full
broadside, and she lay down and staggered
like a man getting knockout blow. She
was hard hit Great volumes OF water
rushed in, burying her lee rails deep and
retarding her going. She was slow in re-
covering and Quivered like an aspen before
Barr by easing her of, had righted her.
Many yachtsmen breathed easier to think
that she was carrying the stanch Oregon
pine, for if she had carried her steel stick
and met with an accident similar to that
Of last week il would have fared i'll with
her with high running seas.
The Defender. on the other hand, stood
ND to il like trained pugilist, and while
the Columbia was rolling and quivering,
she cut down the gap in handsome form.
The old cutter did not get the full force
of the squalls. but enough of them struck
her sails to point the difference between
the two single-stickers
A ferse phrase was coined yesterday by
Boston expert, when he stamped the De-
fender as "a good road horse" Both
sIoops have been well tried in windward
work. Running before the wind and ON a
reach the Columbia is admitted to have the
better of the argument. In stays she is
quicker charge. But the fact is patent
that in the brushes of the cruise in all
sorts and conditions of weather, and with
the wind IN all points, the Defender has
twice lost only by narrow margins, once
by less than four minutes and once by one
minute and fourteen seconds. II is con-
ceded that on the run from GARDENERS Bay
TO Newport on Thursday, when the new
champion romped past the Brenton light
ship winner by more than twenty-five min
utes, conditions were not even The trials
have proved that if the Columbia meets
the Shamrock in light winds the cup will
undoubtedly remain in America. But if the
yacht has TO face Lipton's boat in a heavy
sea the result is not at all certain.

Fight for Twenty Rnunds

New York, Aug. 12.-At the end of a
fast twenty-round glove fight at the Broad
way Athletic Club last night between
George Dixon, Of Boston, and Eddie Santry,
of Chicago. Referee White decided that the
best verdict to render under the circum-
stances was a draw. Santry certainly
showed more cleverness than in his pre-
yious encounter with the featherweight
champion, but the latter had the advantage
on leads and forcing. Dixon's face, how
ever, was cut up more than ever before in
his long career. Many sporting men in the
crowd OF 1900 spectators who packed the
arena believed that the Chicago boxer had
trife the better of the argument, but
others thought that il would have been an
injustice TO Dixon TO declare against him

this move is likely to raise the cry of
syndicate ball."
Those who talk of the deal declare
that Freedman has two motives in get
ting rid of Meekin. One is to reduce ex-
penses, and incidentally make good some
of the clubs losses with the money re-
ceiyed for the players release. The other
is to so strengthen the Bostons that they
may be able TO beat out the Brooklyns for
the championship.
