New York, May 26.-Everything Is In
readiness for the Brooklyn handicap to-
day at Gravesend. The grounds are
spick and span and few changes have
been made to accommodate the specta-
tors. This morning early most OF the
horses engaged In the big race were
ready to run and were out on the
track exercising. All were sent around
at n slow gallop and then breezed the
last furlong through the stretch just to
timber up their muscles. The wind was
very heavy and by 10 o'clock dust was
hying In many places and the surface
OF the track was dry.
Down below however the track was
heavy. Mud horses were not so much

those who have been studying records
and pedigrees for that sort OF race
horse had their work thrown away. ,
Ethelbert was favorite although Jean
Beraud came in for lots OF hackers.
The chief interest I'm the race is the
meeting between these two four year
olds for the first time sincej they were
youngsters. IL was pointed out by
those VINO favored the Whitney horse

two-year-old he won and with little

THE COLLAR BUTTON.
It's Blessings Realized Only by Those
Who Have Lived without 1t.

It's Blessings Realized Only by Those
Who Have Lived without 1t.
''In looking over a trunk full of old
truck the other day." said the elderly
man, 81 came across a lot of old shirts
with the buttons sewed on. and as
looked at them / realized anew what
the collar button means to humanity.
There have been greater inventions,
surely, but not many that have con-
ferred a more unmixed blessing on
mankind.
1.-THE younger person of today, ac-
customed to the collar button always,
cannot realize what 1t was to be with
out it. He can never know what II
was to have shirts with the buttons
be. Not SO very many years ago, when
the collar button was yet comparative
ly new, before persons had come to
keep, as everybody commonly does
now, lot of buttons on hand, the man
who had lost his collar button thought
himself entitled to the sympathy of his
fellows, but wrung as he might be by
that loss he could not even guess at
the anguish that in the sewed on but
ton days filed the heart of the man
who, when he came to put on his last
clean shirt, found that key button. the
one on the collar band, most important
one of all, gone entirely or only just
hanging by thread!
81 knew q man once who had this
happen to him and didn't swear. That
was the only great thing he ever did,
but / have always thought that that
alone was enough to stamp him as a
most extraordinary man."-New York
Sun.

Leighton and the POOR STUDENT
Of Leighton's hearty, eager helpful
ness many instances might be given.
Here is one. After a certain prize day
at the academy student was passing
through the first room on his way to
the entrance He looked the picture of
detection and disappointed wretched-
ness-poorly and shabbily dressed and
sinking away as if he wished to pass
out of the place unnoticed. Millais and
Leighton, walking arm in arm, came
along, pictures of prosperity.
Leighton caught sight of the poor,
downcast student. Leaving Millais, he
darted across the vestibule to him and,
taking the students arm, drew him
back into the first room and made him
sit down on the ottoman beside him.
Putting his arm on the top of the otto
man and resting his head on his hand,
Leighton began to talk as he alone
could talk, pouring forth volumes OF
earnest, rapid utterances, as if every
thing in the world depended on his
words conveying what he wanted them
to convey. He went on and on. The
shabby figure gradually seemed to pull
itself together, and at last when they
both rose he seemed to have become
another creature. Leighton shook
hands with him, and the youth went
on his way rejoicing.
1t is certain that if other help than
advice were needed it was given. But
it was the extraordinary zest and vital
ity which Leighton put into his help
which made 1t unlike any other. He
fought every ones cause as others
fight their own.-London Telegraph.

WHEN DOGS ARE SICK.
The Way to Give Medicine to These
Highly Sensitive Patients.

Nhe Way to Give Medicine to These
Highly Sensitive Patients.
In all treatment of sick dog re-
member you are dealing with highly
sensitive and nervous patient. Be very
gentle, avoid roughness or anything
likely to alarm him. In giving him any
liquid medicine do not open his mouth,
but, placing him between your knees,
with his face looking in the same direc-
ton as your own, gently raise his jaw
and, pulling his lips away from his
teeth on one side of his mouth, to form
cup or funnel, very slowly pour from
bottle or spoon the quantity he is to
have into 1t.
Keep his head raised for a minute or
two and If he does not swallow the
dose insert spoon between his front
teeth. This will have the effect Of
drawing off his attention from the
medicine and he will usually swallow
at once If the dose is pill, bolus or
anything solid, hold his head the same
way as before mentioned, but with the
left hand under lower jaw, press firmly
on each side with thumb and finger at
the junction Of upper and lower jaws.
This will usually cause him to open
his mouth, when the dose should be
put into the mouth as far back as
possible over the tongue Tor he will spit
1t OUT and close the jaws somewhat
sharply, and in most cases the deed is
done. If any trouble arises with the
action of his front paws this may be
got over by wrapping him round with
a shawl or coarse apron.
When once you have got into the way
of 1t, you will be surprised how simple
1t is. am quite sure practiced own
er or kennelsman would dose a dozen
dogs while novice was making a
bungle over one.-"All About Dogs"

nature of the soul. That Is, the bishop

by question now and then. We were

very dark night. In the middle of the
bishops exposition the wagon took a
wild plunge. there was a crash, and
over we went into the muddy ditch.
