AMERICAN HORSES TOO FAST.
Fhey Have Been Barred FROM Racing
Contests In Russia Where Ma
tive Bresda Are Entered.

The United States consul general at
ST. Petersburg, w. r. Halloway, reports
that . few years ago American horses
could start In all races in Russia, but
they were so much faster than the Rus
sian horses that they were barred from
three big races in order to project their
own interest; but, as majority OF Rus
sian horsemen now own American
horses, and more are constantly being
bought, there is a growing sentiment
in favor Of their being permitted to
start in all races except those intended
exclusively for Russian horses. All one
time 1t was noted with satisfaction that
American horses had been purchased
for the Russian imperial studs, but re-
Gently every horse having American
blood has been removed from these
studs. Disinterested persons declare
this to be shortsighted policy, and say
the Americans do not care what ma
tionality a horse is provided be is fast.
American horses soon become ac-
climated in Russia, and after the first
year stand the climate as well as native
animals.
No horse is barred from any race on
account Of his speed. but fast horses
are handicapped BY being required to
pull more weight and starting few
yards further back IT. trotang races
III st. Petersburg only two horses start
in heat from designated places at OPP
posite sides of the track at the sound
of an electric bell, which prevents jock
eying for position. The horses follow
each other twice or three times around
the track, the distance being either two
or three miles. No matter how many
entries there are in single race, but
two horses are peInitted oD the track
az the same ti1ne, and ibe one. making
the best time wins the race. IN Moscow
the races are managed on the American
plan.
Races for the purpose of testing the
endurance Of horses are frequent, where
horses are driven from 25 to 10 miles,
then finish the last two or three miles
at the limit Of their speed. The horse
finishing in the best condition and
showing the greatest speed at the close
is the winner-Cincinnat Commercial

TALKS IN HANDsHAKING.
A Scientific Custom That Dates Back
to the beginning of
Time.

'It is said by ancient astrologers
that shaking hands is a scientific GUS
tom which dates back to the begin
ming of time. There is all the differ
ence in the world between the va
rious modes of shaking the hand Of
stranger or friend as to the resulting
impression obtained by and through
that operation, consciously or uncon-
sciously," said a society woman re-
Gently. 81 claim t,iat the results de-
pend upon the proper position taken
by the two hands elasped, although
mere touch win tell much. We shake
hands in order to form q connection
between us which viii result in the
exchange of planetary vibrations
which notify US whether we have met
friend or foe. Few people go into
such an exact scientific analysis of
the reasons, but perhaps think that
they do it because other people do it;
that it is the custom of the country,
or because the person met offers the
hand. 1t remains an indisputable fact,
however, that we form likes and dis
likes upon touching the hands of
strangers, and that friendship or dis
like often start at that point, whether
we realize it or not. The exchange Of
impression is strong at the moment of
contact of the palm. 1t makes US un-
happy TO touch some people, and we

However they may meet. there is one

THE OLDEST FOOD.
Some Form of Cereal Was Probably
the staff of Life in the
Early Ages.

The Oldest prepared food was prob
ably some form of cereal baked in bread
OF boiled in water. Rice, according to
recent statistics, is the food OF s0O,0o0,-
900 persons, or "a per cent. Of the in
habitants of the globe. 1t has been in
common use in China and India as far
back as the records of those countries
reach, and it is known to have been in
use in Egypt since the earliest ages.
It probably antedates wheat as an an
cient food. 1t is now generally recog-
nized that American rice is the best
ricein the world. So superiorisour Caro-
lima rice to the common product Of
India that it is said to have been intro
duced there by the Indian government
in the hope Of improving the crop Of
this cereal which has been cultivated
in that land for unknown centuries.
We do not use rice as much as we
should. Notwithstanding the superior
ity Of Carolina rice we do not raise more
than one-half Of the small amount Of
this cereal used in this country.
One Of the most delicious ways Of
cooking rice is to boil it in stock. 1t
makes excellent croquettss, which
should be used with meat, not as they
generally are, as a sweet dish. The fact
that rice is considerably more expen-
siye than oatmeal. hominy and other
grain foods has probably prevented it's
more common use on the breakfast
sable. The French fashion OF using rice
to tbicken stews Of meat or fricassees
Of poultry should be more GENERALLY
adopted. It Is better than the raw,
pasty thickening Of -four s6often used
for this purpose. The -four is good, but
Il Is seldom cooked in stews over Eve
minutes, when II should be cooked
slowly at least 20 minutes. 80 one
could undertook rice without noticing
it.-N. I. Tribune.

Personal AND ETTsRARY.

W. d. Howeiia said the other day fm
che course Of an interview that when
the great American novel came to be
written at least q portion Of II would

A. A. Maodonen, who succeeds the
late Sir N. Monier williams as profess
sor Of Sanscri, in the University OF Ok
ford. Is graduate Of Leipsic and Is one
of the best-known Sansorit scholars in
the world. He comes Of an old family
famous for its support Of the dethroned
Stuarfs.
The autocrat Of the breakfast table
is not sverse to giving his autograph,
even when it ia asked by mail, but drew
the line sharply not long ago on Yeceiv-
ing a petition addressed to Miss Olive
Wendell Holmes" The doctor says:
Il don't think that an applicant who
doesn't even know my sex Is entitled
TO my autograph"
Thomas Kite, the old parish clerk Of
Shakespeare's church, at Stratford-on-
Avon, who died recently, was 81 years
Of age and succeeded his father and
grandfather half century ago. Among
those whom he conducted to Shake
speare's tomb were Sir Walter Scott,
Washington Irving, Dickens, Emerson,
Booth, Kean and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The late Bernard Quaritch, London's
famous bibliophile and bookseller, had
a tart manner of speech on occasions.
Once a New York publisher and book
seller was inquiring of him regarding
discounts and Quaritch gruffly asked:
"Are you bookseller or a gentleman?" ?"
The American quietly answered: 81
am bookseller, but until met you
/ thought one could be both"
One Of the most remarkable coinci-
dences on record has come to light in
Lynchburg, Va, and Augusta, Ga. In
each city there is a Walter Clark whose
father was named Samuel and whose
mothers maiden name was Walker.
Both Walter Clarks have brothers
named Samuel and William, uncles
named Charles and John and an aunt
named Elizabeth. Yet the men cannot
trace any relation between the two
families.

DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH.
Gave a Martha Washington
Tea Last Evening.

Last evening. from s to 10, the
Odd Fellows hall was the scene
of merriment. The Rebekah la
dies had previously sent out a
large number of invitations to a
Martha Washington Tea, and the
response was hearty one, judging
from the crowd present.
No particular program was ar
ranged, but every body was free to
have good time. Some excellent
music was listened to, particularly
several vocal solos by Miss Daisy
Gore, who is one of the sweetest,
most unaffected singers it has been
our pleasure to hear for many
day.
The trunk of a good sized tree
was drawn on canvas and hung up
on the wall, with a niche, repre-
senting tree partially cut down.
Axes made OF cardboard, with pins
stuck through them were provided
for all, and the person (blind-
folded) who stuck the ak closest to
the niche in the tree received
prize for the most successful chop
per. Mrs. Ed Miller was awarded
the prize, prettily dressed doll.
The younger folks engaged in
various games and plays, and all
seemed to get their moneys
worth
Sandwiches, cake and coffee
were served-''the right thing in
the right place" The admission
fee was ten cents. and the receipts
amounted to $40 or over, which
will be used in preparing for the
assembly and grand lodge In April.
All in al. it was an evening
pleasantly and profiably spent.
for which the Rebekabs merited
