HIS MIND WEAKENING.
Responsibilities Of State Weigh Heav-
ily on Lord Miner.

New York. June 1A-Lord Miliner's
friends find it difficult to persuade him
to accept social invitations, says the
London correspondent OF the Tribune
He takes a serious view Of what is go
ing on in South Africa and bluntly says
he is not in a mood for luncheons and
dinner parties. He is sensitive respect
ing the criticisms to which he has been
exposed and is eager to explain what is
going on in South Africa when he can
find thoughtful men as listeners The
general opinion among Lord Miners
friends is that he has aged greatly dur
ing the last four years and has lost his
elasticity Of mind through continuous
pressure Of public responsibility

American Jockeys.

When Tod Sloan first appeared on
the English tracks people saw a mite
Of humanity, perched in "scorching
position, with the knees clamped to
the horses withers. His stirrups
were SO short that his chin almost
brushed his knees, and he had neither
whip nor spurs. The English school
and the old American school of jock
eys sat straight in the saddle with
long stirrups, and punished the horse
severely. The effect of Sloan's meth
cd was ludicrous, and all England
laughed. Now the Jockeys over there
try. to initiate him.
There is sound logic in Sloan's
monkey-like riding. He takes all
weight away from the horses kidneys,
SO that the hind or driving part of
the animal is left free to impart rapid
motion. Also, by clinging to the
shoulders, instead Of bouncing up and
down, thus racking the horse at every
leap, he adjusts himself as part Of the
animal. By crouching over the an
imals neck he diminishes the atmos-
pheric resistance by more than third

demonstrated in England, where the
first three named, together with Sloan,
have carried off all racing honors for
two seasons.

a few years. They are notable

so much money, but for having saved
1t, because the jockey is seldom fru-
gal. His average. pay in one season,
counting twenty-five dollars for win
ming mounts and ten dollars for los
ing ones, reaches a total of about five
thousand dollars. Against this sum
must be charged fines and valet ex-
penses. This is a minimum salary.
Nowadays all good jockeys receive
large retaining fees from their own
ers, and in addition win a good deal
through betting.
When a jockey retires from the
saddle without having saved any mon
ey his future is dismal AS a re-
action from abnormal training, he
usually becomes very fat and slug
gish, and, with no education, seems
unable to make a good living. Cad

he won the memorable Metropolitan
Derby in 1880, now takes in washing
with his wife at Coney Island. The
man who was UraPs attendant in

Test of Dairy Cows.

At the Pan-American exposition there
is in progress a test of the comparative
value of ten breeds of dairy COWS. 1t
has been going on for several weeks.
-Four items are recorded of each of the
five cows of each breed, namely, the
yield of milk in pounds, the percentage
of fat in the milk, the cost and the
profit. 1t is model dairy in all respects.
The cows are not taken from their stable,
not even for exercise, but are attended
with care. As the season goes on, the
quantity of milk yielded decreases. In
recent week, the largest yield of milk
was 1863 pounds by the Holstein cow,
Beauty of Norval. But the percentage of
fat In the milk was low, compared with
that of many other cows being 800, while
the milk of the Jersey COW, Primrose
Parks Pride, the yield of which was only
1887 pounds, showed a percentage of fat
OF $40. The profit on this Jersey COW
was sos, and on the Holstein COW $2.O7.
The highest profit was $2.17 on the pro-
duct of a Guernsey COW. The standing
OF the ten breeds, according to the ave-
rage profit per cow per week. is as fol-
lows:
