ANOTHER RACE FLUKE..
Lack Of Wind Saves Shamrock
From a Disastrous Defeat
COLUMBIA THREE MILES AHEAD

When the Expiration Of the Time
Limit Put an End to the Race-TwO
More Races May Be sailed After
Columbia Wins the Cup Contest.
New York. Oct 20.-Had the wind
held yesterday the Columbia-Shamrock
series for Americas cup would have
been ended in three straight wins for
the defender, and the Irish cup hunter
would have sailed home without the
trophy, beaten as decisively as any
former candidates. Only the failure
of the wind saved the Shamrock from
defeat more singing than on Monday.
Yesterday she was beaten on the run
to the outer mark minutes and 81
seconds, elapsed time. and on the leg
home, which should have been q beat,
but which. owing to shift In the
wind, was a broad reach, Columbia
sailed away from her like witch.
When the race was declared off, about
ten minutes before the expiration of
the time limit Columbia was leading
by about three miles. She was then
four miles from the finish. Had the
race ended Shamrock would have been
beaten by at least 20 minutes.
Sir Thomas hard luck continued to
follow. His boat was very badly ham
Gled yesterday, in spite of the aggrega-
ton Of talent aboard her. The two

two seconds on that account. The ad-
ditional ballast which was put into her
on Wednesday also seems to have been
blunder on the part of her man
ayers, as it increased the size OF the
body to be forced through the water,
and in the light air that prevailed yes
terday retarded instead of increased
her speed. What Shamrock may be
able to do in rough weather and a
reefing wind is still problematical, but
after the drubbing she has received the
experts are almost unanimous in the
belief that the Columbia can take her
measure in light airs or gale of wind
The crew of the Shamrock had given
1t up. They are now convinced that
we have the better boat. Before the
race on Monday they had the most
supreme confidence in their ability to
win with Shamrock. There was no
living with them" said one of the
Yankee tars on the Shamrock's tender
Lawrence. They didn't think their
boat would win; they absolutely knew
1t. They wouldn't even hear argu-
ments. After they returned from the
race Monday they were SO sore that
they would not speak to each other.
Now they are frank enough to admit
that the Columbia is the better boat
by ten minutes over 80 mile course"
The yachts will race again today,
and even if Columbia wins there is
possibility that two more races will
be sailed. A suggestion to this effect
has been made. and Sir Thomas ap-
pears to be anxious that it should b.
carried out. He has been greatly dis
appointed in the showing his boat
has made, but believes she might do
better over a triangular course in
heavier wind, and has said that he
would be very pleased to san two more
races.

Sinks for Farm Kitchens.

Every farmers kitchen should be fur
n;shed with a sink, into which both hard
and soft water should be brought by
pumps. It is not always convenient TO
have the we'll water thus brought, but
there's no reason why the cistern water
should not be. The sink should connect
with a drain for the carrying away Of
waste water. If water must be brought
into the house in pals, it surely is too
much to ask that it be carried out in the
same manners and thrown on the ground
to- make spot offensive to sight and

SPECIALITY FARMING.
1t Draws Constantly ON the Ferttlit,
Of the Soil without Permit.
ting Renovation. r.

Speciality farming means devoting
the larger part Of the time to the pro-
duction Of one crop. This crop may be
wheat, corn or cotton and there are
large sections in this country devoted
almost wholly to one or another of
these crops. One years failure of the
special crop of any of these sections
means serious inconvenience to farm
crs, and q failure for two or more sue
cessive years leads to ruin. From the
orange groves of Florida and the cane
lands Of Louisiana to the wheat fields
OF North Dakota the specially farmer is
liable to work without profit because of
barren years or low prices. 1t is true
that each section is better for some one
crop than for any other, and it is good
policy to devote considerable part of
the time and the farm to thatcrop. The
good farmer will endeavor to learn
which crop is the most profitable, and
that having been settled he will try to
learn everything that is to be known
about that particular crop. At the same
time he will learn something concern
ing every other crop which he can
grow, in order that he may diversity his
productions as much as possible.
Specially farming is always destruc-
tive farming, as it makes rotation of
crops impossible and draws constantly
on the fertility of the soil without per-
uniting renovation except by the direct
application of fertilizers, costly way
of maintaing fertility, no matter what
is used for this purpose.
The farmer who plants a variety of
crops, keeps sheep, cattle and hogs and
takes good care of everything, is al
ways ready for any season or any pc
culiar condition of the markets. He
may not have any especially fat years,
but he will never have total loss to con-
tend with and on the whole will have
greater profits and fewer losses

SALOME'S DANCING.
Marvellous Measures That FoEsed
King Herod to Yield UP the
Head of John the Baptist.

James Tissot has. in his remarkable
pictures illustrating the life of Christ
offered a striking version of the dance
of Salome before Herod. Many and
famous artists before him have given
their idea of that astonishing dance,
the forfeit of which was the head of
John the Baptist. Tissot follows none
of them nor their traditions, but the
Salome he paints moves before Herod
on her hands, her feet in the air. In
stead of light drapery Of gauze, she
is swathed from chin to toes in close
heavy embroidered garments. The
silk trousers common to all oriental
women are caught snugly about her
ankles, her feet are naked, and her
head, oiled, curled, and heavy with
pomatums, is gorgeously dressed
Only her arms are bare, and yet they
are respondent with bracelets, while
her face is artfully painted, the eyes
so darkened about as to give them a
mysterious languishing expression.
This is assuredly the way Salome
danced her famous measure, says Mr..
Tissot, for no ordinary achievement on
her part was required in order to excite
Herod to the pitch of enthusiasm and
extravaganza he reached. An abund-
ance of beautiful and skilled dancers
were invariably at the kings command,
IN consequence peculiarly brilliant
effort was needed for Salome to achieve
her end, which she did by admirably
performing one of the astonishing &C.
robatic dances that are to this day
known and practiced in some parts CT
the east.
Only q woman with marvelously
supple body and muscles of steel can
go through these figures, and the pro-
fessional contortionistsi in our circuses
more narly give us the idea of what
Salome's movements must have been.
She, however, danced undoubtedly al
ternately on hands and feet to inspir-
ing music, keeping time with the tink-
ling of the silver bangles on her arms,
walking on her hands among a maze
CT eggs, swaying and leaping with
sword points touching her eyelids.
giving her 1.-THE body the motions of a
serpent, and all the while watching
the half-drunken king with her
strangely-painted eyes until she had
brought him to the required pitch of
reckless passion.
Certainly Mr.. Tissot's arguments are
very unique, and, furthermore, he
points out that in the famous church in
Rouen, among the exquisite mediae-
val sculptures that decorate it, is
small stone Salome dancing on her
hands before Herod. This shows that
one brother artist was impressed by
the same conviction, for, as Mr.. Tissot
says, dancing among the orientalstakes
the place as a religious and festive rite
that singing does among the occi-
dehtals. The Hebrews danced in the
most sacred professions, as well as in
the most joyous, inventing an infinite
variety of significant figures, SO amaz-
ing indeed that in one sculptured rep
resentation of a religious procession
dancer is shown with his thumbs in
his teeth rolling along in a series Of
somersaults.- cleveland Leader. # :

downs. Some farmers, however, seem
to think that ''hard times" are going to

prospecting to-day and has no time to
complain. Those who take a gloomy
view of everything, and see failure
where there is success, can never hope
to improve their conditions by will-o'-

Above all, the farmer should be hope
