ALARD SHECK WON
 HYDE PARK STAKES
From a Spectacular Standpoint
 Race Was a Brilliant One.
WORTH S2,320 TO WINNER
A Blanket Would Have Covered the Three Leaders Until the Home Turn Was Made-Heavy
 Betting on Result

Chicago, July 19.-Alard Sheck, the crack 2-year-old from the Schorr stables, won the Hyde Park stakes from Golden Age today by half length. There were but three starters, Admonition, San Nazaro and Grander being drawn. Sheck won by the advantages he gained in the start, but probably was the best any way, as he never seemed in trouble. Although Golden Age showed in front at the stretch turn, Burns brought his mount up with apparent ease when ready and won going away From a spectacular standpoint the race was brilliant one as blanket would have cov- cred all three horses nearly the entire dis tance until they were strengthened away for home, where Tyr dropped out of 1t en- tirely and Burns and Pullman used their every effort to bring their mounts to the front, and Burns succeeded. The race was worth $2,32 to the winner Lady Schorr proved her superiority over Green B. Nor ris' Schoolmaster in the first race by beat ing him handily and giving the colt five pounds on the scale of weight. Many thought the Schorr Ally could not give Schoolmaster any weight and beat him with Bullman up and there was a heavy play on both horses. It was a strictly two- horse race and the combination books would lay but three to one to call the race one, two three. Tulla Fonso had shown such bad disposition at the post in her last three races. in all of which she was left that she was barred in the betting. She broke well today under Matthews coaxing and made her field look very cheap, winning by four good lengths and pulled almost to walk. Summary:
 First Race-Five furlongs: Lady Schorr TO (Burns), to ?, won; Schoolmaster lls (Bullman), to l, second; Cora Goetz 115 lMatthews), to l, third. Time: 1:0S

WHERE DRInKIno PREVAILS.
Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little

Patrons or Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liquor at Time.
 How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons a better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is question frequent y asked. The answer is simple enough. h the former drinkers never take bath" as the saying is. but merely cover the bottoms of their glasses with liquor, while in the latter the glasses ale none too large to contain the amount the patrons require. If you can tell me how many drinks bar gets out Of gallon of whisky" said veteran of the white apron the other day 1 will tell you relatively where his saloon is located and what kind of trade it enjoys. The average for a business in the commercial and office center is from sixty to sixty-five. If 1t is p&tronized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled mechan- ics, and so on, the percentage runs down to fifty. A fellow who wasn't posted might suppose that indicated workingmen were heavy drinkers, but it's just the reverse. The average up- per class mechanic drinks very sell dom, but when he does he generally takes a good one. The heavy tipplers are the chaps who take small drinks and lots of them. and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eighty-five out of a gallon In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure, which rep resents an average Of exactly four biths of gill to each customer. In such establishments the glasses are often very thick and the inside is round on the bottom. They are deceptive and even if filled to the brim will not hold over one-half of a gill, which would make sixty-four drinks to the gallon. At only five cents apiece that would mean s3.20, and as the stuff they serve does not cost more than s1 the profit is shade over 200 per cent which ought to satisfy even a dive keeper. If f1ve-cent house set out thin glasses with the black bottle it would be bankrupt in less than a week"

THE CHILD,S MIND.
Let Him Look Into Every Phase of In-
 dustriaI Life.

Expand the child's mind by showing from time to time scenes from all sides Of life. Take him today to studios and let him see how pictures are made; next week to silk factories, to learn the poetry of labor, and afterward to a brick yard and an iron foundry. not forgetting the claims of great churches and monuments upon an elevating edu- cation. The alienation of city and country is delightful stimulant. When sravel is possible we should give the child glimpses of mountains and sights of the sea. and let him become &C., guainted with mountaineers and ffsher- men, even as he ought in town to know something of the ways and thoughts of the workmen, so that he may come to feel sympathy with all sorts of people and understand the merit of labor. Experience of this kind is worth far more than theoriz- fHg in school books. It is not particu- farly interesting to a child to read that he should be grateful to all the people who supply him with his daily com
  forts--to the farmer, the baker. the manufacturer and the builder. But when he sees how grain grows and is converted into flour; how furniture is wrought from blocks of wood and thread woven into cloth, the whole history of the objects about him is re- yealed. The different parts of life be- come connected and he gets sense of the thread of harmony that runs through it all. And he has a moment of satisfaction, coming through a feeling of kinship with the world, which is more useful than gratitude upon general rineiples.-Florenc Hull Winterburn in the Woman'a Home Companion.

Men Get Shorter on Noun, alns.

4 singular result of the recent ex> periments of Prof. Angelo Mosso on the physiological effects of high alti- tudes is that mountain ascent may produce such fattening of the lum- bar curve that man may be an inch and half shorter on the summit of Monte Rosa than when he is in the valley beneath. The height of Monte Rosa, the second loftiest peak of the Alps, is 15,215 feet. The cause of the shortening is partly the exertion oi climbing. The human stature always diminishes slightly during the day.

OF HEARINGS AND sAwDusr.
Asphalt Pavements May Be Made from
 These Substan

Asphalt Pavements May Be Made from
 These Substances.
 The notice of making asphalt arti- fieially from herrings and saWdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesque. Nevertheless, this surpris- ing feat has been accomplished by Prof. W. c. Day of Swarthmore college, near Philadelphia. Specimens of the product are now in possession of the geological survey in Washington. and were shown to Washington eorre- spondent by Prof Diller, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau. Not long ago a very curious mineral substance, up to that time unknown, was found in once been Assures in the rocks. These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth, and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as 1t is now called, were formed. It is a singu- larly pure species of asphalt, and is now being mined in a large way, the plOQuCl1On OI IL constituting all lIH- portant industry. The stuff is used for making varnishes. For this purpose 1t is especially good, because varnishes made of it will not crack Conspicu- ous streaks of the gilsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, so that they can be followed with the eye for miles. Some of this gum asphalt as it is popularly called, was placed in the hands of Prof. Day for analysis, and he found that it's make up was such as to suggest an animal origin, at least in part. It is believed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable matter Such matter, being laid down in vast beds during the coal-forming period, subsequently, underwent chemical processes.
