above all in spite of many exceptions and

Europe for a long time sneered at the

put an end to that attitude. 1t saw a con-
fict so vast as TO stagger their ablest gen.

our struggle with Spain and more recently
our cooperation in the Chinese embroglio.
These have been two new lessons to for

there was scarcely an incident at which
they could point the finger of criticism,

Trotting Horses Are the FavOrftes in
that COUNTRY

that Country.
Pearson's Magazine.
In Russia, as in this country, trotting is
an established fixture. Next to the Amer
lean %trotter, his Russian prototype is the
best of its kind. Hundreds of thousands of
the development Of the trotter, and every
year shows improvements which, sooner or
later, will seriously menace the supremacy
of the American horse.
Russian trotting horses, so dear to the
heart of the fashionables in ST. Petersburg,
form a distinctive class similar to the trot-
tiers and PAGERS of this country and appear
only in the shafts of the lightest rubber
tired vehicles and sIeighs. These ~trotters
are bred for speed, and not for staying pow
err; a glance reveals the cart strain in the
breed, which comes out particularly in the
head, n legs with their large hairy fet-
locks. AS the horses are ratified at the
highest speed over the toughest ground,
even over cobblestone pavements, the big
fetlocks soon give under the strain, so that
%trotters leave their digniied stables for the
cab rank. Many Russian ~trotters nave
done their mile under 2:2o.
These animals owe their origin as q dis
tinctive class to Count Orloff Tchestmensky
he Who or behalf Of Catherine II, played
the chief part in ~strangling the unfortunate
Peter III. He did good service to Russia
by his stud operations. which resulted in
the fast and fashy ~trotters that are named
after him.
Count Orloff died in 1910. and his stud.
from which all the trotting studs in Russia
were formed, was afterwards bought by the
Russian government.
The Russian Trotting Club is a wealthy
Institution, largely patronized by the public.
On Sundays crowds flock to the trotting
ground of the ~Semenovsky Platz, In ST.
Petersburg. American professionals are
greatly In evidence. but work under inn
mense difficulties owing to the bitter
jealousy Of Russian trotting men. All the
races are run against time, and are there
fore very tame from a spectacular point of
view, while so little excitement do they
cause that not a single evening paper pub
fishes the winners names.
When driving a trotting horse In a sulky
the driver usually sits on his horses long
tail to keep him steady in his gait. All the
driving horses of Russia, by the way, have
long tails. The coachman of an ordinary
Russian carriage takes no trouble to pre-
vent the reins from dropping about his
horses hind quarters. In spite of this. how
ever, the reins rarely become entangIed
with the tail, and even If they should do so
the horses never kick. This striking fact
Is an eloquent answer to those who uphold
the cruel practice of docking a horse on
the grounds that otherwise he is liable TO
flap his tail over the reins.

MEDICAL NOTES.
prepared for the Sunday Journal by
an Old Probationary

The question of dealing with alcoholism
is solved by DR.. Peterson. who has planned
a Utopian world in which alcohol has no
place. He imagines a Temperance island
too far removed from the mainland to be
accessible to small boats. with only one
available harbor, where all boats. baggage.
or freight, as well as persons disembark-
ing. shall be subjected to a rigid search
for alcohol, against which the island shall
be quarantined as closely as if it was a
deadly disease germ. This would be a
world of itself with industries to keep the
inhabitants employed and amusements to
keep them happy. Drunkards living there
could obtain positions to support them
selves and their families, and all would
lead a useful life. The majority of in
ebriates would emigrate to such a COM
munity voluntarily and with eagerness, but
some would Of necessity be committed to
the place for a term of at least three years.
The citizens Of this little world would be
deprived Of none of their rights, and would
enjoy not only a tolerable but a blessed
existence. The project is quite within the
bounds of feasibility, and an island could
be acquired by a slight additional tax upon
spirits and vendors. 1t is even possible
that such a colonization scheme might be
conducted by some temperance society, or
even by a private individual, and the
would be a monument more enduring than
brass.

every part of the body, but exercise of

Nipple has written a plea for the exercise
Of children's teeth. He claims that the

if the first are used vigorously. Children
should be taught to chew their food. and
can easily be taught to do so by giving
them hard biscuit to nibble or a bone to
gnaw. Min out of ten mothers feed their

tatoes and other vegetables. the chief ar
ticles OF diet for little three-year-old chill
dren, require little If any mastication. Not
being actively exercised by this food the
teeth and jaws need but a small quantity
of blood, and owing TO insufficient nourish-
ment the teeth are poorly developed and
unable TO resist the germs of decay. II
parents would give plenty of bone-forming
food. see that the teeth are kept clean. and
have them exercised with hard food, their
children would rejoice in the possession of
a complete and well-formed set of teeth.

The dearest flower that blows.

And store OF hydromel.

With poison in his spell;
Who viii shall have sweet William

The perfume OF the stock.

The Buds That Never Come to Flower.
Each year. despite the suns benignant power,
TIL unstinted sustenance from earth derived;
Despite the freshening dew, the warm sweet
shower
OF nothing needful seemingly deprived
There's many a bud that never comes to flower.
On vine and tree, these buds that never blow,
Dying or dead, on every side we find;
'Tis pitiful to see them perish so
Ingloriously-ah, strongly they remind
OF human hopes that die in embryo.
And yet, for all these buds that never bloom,
Full many bide. their mission to complete;
While hopes that overwhelm the heart with
gloom.
In truth. some seem to suffer Iife's defeat
That others, sweeter, dearer may find room.
