WATERCURE TAKES A HANDICAP
FROM A CLUSTER OF FAST ONE
Meehanus Is Heavily Played to Win the Even
the Money -Jarretierre dor Defeats Som
Ods--Howel First at the Wire on Iizo

Ut was a good joke the shrewd set
framed up on themselves at Oakland
yesterday. Everybody suspected of
N possessing an atom of horse sense
laid his checks down on Meehanus
with his 119 pounds to win the six and a
half furlong free handicap, simply be-
cause it was too far for Watermelon
paper. Meehanus, backed down to to
s. apparently sulked with Woods, running
next to last. The price about Watercure,
carrying 122 pounds and Winnie O'Connor,
f1oated to 3 to 1, and in a drive he caught
and beat out Doublet a length in LIZA.
There was no part of it that Green Nor
ris' crack horse did not look a winner.
O'Connor took matters very cooly back
in the rear to the stretch, and then cut
loose. For a time he did not have clear
sailing. This made it closer down at the
wire than it otherwise would have been.
Three Favorites in Row.
Splendid weather and the prospect of
seeing the racing decided over fast
track once more attracted an excellent
crowd. Three straight favorites came
through, after which there was a decided
slump in the market. Tizona, 20 to l
shot was the star long shot performer.
Frisco Lind's big gelding Afghan cap
tured the opening sprint from bunch of
ordinary ones. Mounce sat in the pilot
house and ran into the slip three-posts of
a length in advance of B. F. Mason, 10
to l chance. Mrs. Brunell, the second
choice, never seemed threatened with
much speed
Jarretierre dor, the speedy gelding
from Jack Atkins string, turned up an
easy winner of the two-year-old sprint at
five furlongs. Once 312 in the betting, he
closed an IL to favorite Nicely handled
by Buchanan, he ran in two lengths
ahead of ESterWell the SchOrr entry.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive is TO be seen
GEAR Ayuthia, formerly the capital OF
Siam. The labyrinth is formed Of
double row OF immense tree trunks set
firmly In the ground, the space between
them gradually narrowing.
Where It begins. at the edge or the
forest, the opening of the labyrinth Is
more than a mile wide. but as 1t APP
breaches Ayuthia 1t becomes so mar
row that the elephants cannot turn
around.
Suspectlng no danger the wild ele-
plant enters the broad opening mt the
forest end. lured on by tame elephant.
The gradual narrowing of the bound
aries Is not observed until the ele-
phant finds himself In close quarters.
Having reached the end OF the laby-
rinth, the tame elephant Is allowed to
pass through gate, while men lying
In wait slip shackles over the feet OF
the captiyes. The sport is dangerous
one. for the enraged elephants some
times crush the hunters under their
feet.

HOW THE LEGS GROW.
The Shocks of Exercise LenEthen
Them and Keep Them Even.

As fact, says the author, our lower
limbs are not usually both of exactly
the same length, though they are so for
all practical purposes. The left is usu-
ally the longer, though the gait is not
notably influenced by this fact. At
birth the lower limbs are shorter than
the upper and their movements are
rather of the prehensile type. I'VE are
not born leggy like the foal or kanga-
roo, but We gradually achieve leggi-
ness" The bones increase In length, not
so much by interstltial deposit as by
addition to their ends-that Is, by pro-
gressive ossification of the layer of car
tilage which intervenes between the
end Of the shaft and the epiphysis. Os-
slieation goes on till the component
parts of the bone are all united by bony
matter, and thus the stature of the In
dividual is determined.
If from Inflammation or injury an
epiphysis be damaged, one limb may be
shorter than the other, or infammatory
stimulation may even induce an In
creased length in the bone affected. The
bhtictohS VI bOIlolSes, HOl DtlhB buD-
jected to sudden jars, have no epiphy-
SEES at the ends of the long bones,
whereas in the leaping frog the extrem-
tiles of the humerus and femur long re-
main as separate eplphyses. The con-
tinuous conclusions to which the ends
of the bones of the lower limbs are ex-
posed when a vigorous child is excited
by its own natural spirit 10 run about
are doubtless of great value In assist
ing the growth in length of the lower
limbs, which soon lose their infantlle
character and become adapted for run
ming and walking. By exposing the
lower limbs to the same influences and
reslstances during their entire growth
we manage to maintain them of the
same length, and gentle jars upon the
epiphyses at the joints may be consid-
cred favorable TO growth.-New York
Medical Record.

Success In desperate cases by con-
sentative treatment is the lesson often
repeated and yet never quite sufficient
ly learned by any physician or surgeon.
The infinite ingenuity behind the heal

struggle toward normallty. is an ever
renewed source of wonder. All that Is
needed TO elicit 1t Is confidence In 1t,
delay in doing anything radical, watch
fulness to follow up the hints to action
as they begin to show themselves.

The Wiener Klinischer Wochenschrft
tells of the success Of Herr Heller, d.
rector of an asylum for the blind. in
educating the remnant of visual power
retained by "blind" child. There was
only perception of light in narrowed

made to yield such indications to the
eager mind that after IA months of en-

A BIG WEDDING FEE.
The Generous Uses to which Henry
Ward Reecher Put II.


In his "Eccentricities of Genius" Ma.
jor Pond says that often while travel
ing Henry Ward Beecher improved his
time by having what he called "a gen.
eral housekeeping" of his pockets,
which would get loaded up with letters
more. when he would clear them out
and destroy such papers as were worth
less.
On one occasion Beecher happened
TO put his hand In the watch pocket
of his pantaloons and found there a
little envelope which he opened. When
he saw its contents, he called Major
Pond to sit beside him and remarked:
You remember the evening married
G. L. Huntington. l was SO much in
terested In the subject that l forgot
he handed me little envelope as he
went out of the door. / put 1t in the
watch pocket of my pantaloons and
never thought of 1t again until just
now. and here 1t is, four $1,000 bills.
Now" he said, don't tell any one
about It, and we will have a good time
and make some happiness with this
money. We will just consider that we
found it."
And so In a day or two Mr.. Beecher
went with Major Pond to look at a
cargo of fine oriental rugs, many Of
which he purchased and sent to differ
ent friends, and afterward he spent
what remained of the money for coin
silver lamps. unmounted gems and va
rlous pieces of brio -a-brac, all of which
he gave away until he had used up
the entire $4,000 Tin making happiness
among those whom he loved"
After Mr. Beecher's death the major
related to Mr.. Huntington the incident
of this discovery of the four $1,000
bills, and the railway magnate obsery-
ed: 81 should never have given them
