Beginning of American Polo.

James Gordon Bennett. the proprie- tor of the New York Herald. was the leading spirit in introducing polo into this country. It was he that dined in 1876 at his own residence, which still stands on the northeast corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty y-eighth street, New York city, the following gentlemen: Messrs. William Jay. William B. Doug lass, Charles G. Francklyn, Winnie Thorn, Perry Belmont. John Mott. Samuel Rowland and Lord Vaudeville. It was decided to bring from Texas a carload of COW ponies. and. until with in q short time, there has hung in the Meadow Brook clubhouse. on Long Is- land. a list of these ponies. distributed by lot among the diners at an average cost of S20 each. The first game was played during that winter in the old frame Dickel Riding academy. where now stands the Union League club, corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty ninth street. and play was later con- tinued at Jerome Park race course at Fordham in 1877.

 In conversation the other day a prom inent lawyer rcmarl cd to a physician Of repute that the Plant estate. amount ing to some S40,0O0.0O0. would bring the lawyers about Sl,OOO.OOO as fees. The doctor asked the lawyer:
 "Mr. F.. suppose MT. Plant were dy- ing, but, there being a chance of saving his life by a difficult operation, sur geon should operate and save Mir. Plants life. Would that surgeon be Justified in sending in bill for S100.- COOP"
 The immediate answer was. Certain ly notr'

 Because" replied the advocate, "a lawyers fees are fixed by the courts"
 And the celebrated physician. whose office fee of s10 is often grudgingly paid. remarked:
 "You lawyers have solved the prob lem of self preservation. while we are spending our time in the preservation of others"

"Nn-y Jane" Tn London.

On Sunday afternoon when Mary Jane goes out with her soldier you see the streets fairly lighted up with the gayety of the colors she displays. Her hat is marvel of invention. Her wages, which have gone up in dec ade from tiG to f29. are spent upon dress-and such dress, She will not come to you unless you keep footman and a butler Her duties. defined by herself. are to clean the ornaments and to look after one or two rooms.

Condensation.

If science goes on discovering new means of condensing things for us. there seems to be every reason to be- neve that the time is at hand when existence will mean nothing but tab loids from the cradle to the grave. The great French chemist Berthelot de clares it quite possible to exist without any of the foods we now possess. even milk being dispensed with, but at pres ent the process is too costly to be of use, but he hopes some day this cost may be overcome. And as another French chemist has invented a method of compressing sea air into tabloids it Is obvious that life will not be worth living at all in the coming by and by if the pilule system is adopted. We shall care nothing for early asparagus or strawberries; ducks and game, salm- on and the spring chicken will cease to be, and the flying machine means of locomotion will render us indifferent to scenery.

Glasgow old F0Gyish.

: 1'Glasgow is quite free from corrup. ton. but there is considerable bosh about the ideal municipal government of the city," said a Glasgow man now touring this country to an interviewer the other day. "The public improve ments are far behind those of many cities in the United States. The cleo. tric lights are queer. old fashioned things, and the city permitted the con struction of overhead wires for the street railways. Commissions were sent to various cities to look into cleo tric light systems and electric railway systems. I can't imagine where they went, for they brought back lot of very old fashioned ideas"

HALCYoN DAYS OF TOUGHER:
is AN EVIL TO POLITICS

Rockford Star: Have. you met the
''toucher?. This is the time of year
when he is numerously, noisily and
''stril<iHgly'' in evidence. The touch
err tolls not nor does he spin. But
he worlSs-the candidates. The
TOUGHER" is a new institution He
came into existence a few years ago,
and has found graft such good
thing" that he is growing with the
growth of the town.
The ''toucher's" harvest time is dur
ing the tendency of n campaign, and
at its conclusion his occupation, like
OtheIlo's, is gone. He smokes on the
candidates. drinks on the candidates,
lives on the candidates and bleeds the
candidates. He habitats in no par
ticular place but is seen everywhere
He claims to have pull and refers
to a score of other "touchers to
prove that he has "infiooence." If a
candidate enters the race Monday,
the TOUGHER calls upon him Tues
day and makes known his wants. lie
can control the "Steenth" ward. III
the candidate doubts il the TOUGHER
shows him a list of fifty names.
They are members of the Mountain
Dew club. They want, as the
TOUGHER puts it, "A "sawbuck apiece
n key of beer and a box of Little
Jacks. If the ''sawbuck" isn't forth
coming he will lower the rate to
..fiyer- for each one of the Mountain
Dews. IF the candidate thinks this
is too steep he Will compromise on

one who puts up the most coin. If
given fifty dollars he viii see that the
lower part of the ward IS ''all right"
He will boom his candidate from the
moment he gets the fifty until the
polls close, and he will be at the polls
all day long. The candidate who sees
him first and gives him the most coin
of the realm, gets his support. He
has been known to return $50 given
by one candidate and receive 500
from another.
Up to few years ago campaigns
in Rockford were conducted quietly
and on Il high plane. The TOUGHER"
was not known. There was the hon
est, legitimate poll worker who stood
near the voting place with n handful
of tickets. Most of these did this
out of friendship for the candidate
and a few of them received pay for
the days work. All this has passed
away. II is regrettable. as it means
that no poor man can aspire to Of
fee. He may be honest and able, but
if he can not put up the 'lang green"
the TOUGHER" turns him down with
the remark that hes no good"
The TOUGHER has made olfice-hold-
ing expensive. One candidate recent
ly expended 81, 500 and it is said the
man he defeated put up $500.
There ought To be some way de-
vised whereby the strong hand of the
law could reach the TOUGHER" He
is corrupting the community.

VALUE OF WATERWAYS.
They Are u Great Aid to the DeveI
Opment of Railway Traffic, Says
an Authority.

The best thing that could happen to
every railway in the United States-or
elsewhere, for that matter-would be
to have a waterway paralleling every
mile of it's track, and the deeper the
waterway, within reasonable limits,
the gerater would be the benefit de-
rived by the railway. If the managers
of the transcontinental American rail-
ways were really awake to their own
interests, instead of opposing an 18TH
milan canal, they would use all their
influence in it's favor, says Engineering
Magazine. Nay, more, if congress
should fail to act, the capitalists who
control the transcontinental railway
lines ought to underwrite sufficient
amount of bonds to secure the con-
struction of an isthmian canal, and to
get it built at the earliest possible
date, and this not as a matter of SEN
timent or patriotism, but as a cold
blooded business proposition. This
opinion is based upon the fact that
many instances can be shown in which
the construction or improvement of a
waterway has resulted in. great benefit
to competing railways, while not
single instance has come to my knowl-
edge, in the course of a study of the
subject covering many years, in which
the result has been otherwise than
beneficial. But as the unsupported
opinion can have little or no weight it
will be in order to offer the incredu-
Ious reader a few of the facts upon
which it is based.

ABOUT GLASS BATHTUBS.
From Present Indications They Are
Soon to SuppIant Those of En-
amel and Metal.

Bathtubs of glass may be expected
to replace enamel and metal ones
soon. They are being made in Ger
many now and are said to have many
advantages over metal and enamel,
the principal one being that they are
much cheaper, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. Besides bathtubs, tanks
and watts such as are used by brew
ers, distillers and sugar refiners are
being made of glass, and the manu-
facturer is confident that he can re-
place those for which clay, wood,
cement and metal are now commonly
used, with superior articles construct
ed at lower cost. Glass bathtubs are
not fragile. Those being made now
are five and six feet long, about two
feet wide and about two and one-half
inches thick. They are made in a
solid piece, and one can be made COM
plete in about five minutes.
This is owing to a new process of
blowing glassware by means of COM
pressed air. The process was invented
in Pittsburg about 20 years ago, but
was limited to making bottles and
similar small-sized articles. Paul
Stevert, of Dresden, has improved it,
and under his process there need be
no limit, within reason, to the size of
the article made. The method is sim
plicity itself. The molten glass is
taken from the furnace and placed in
a mold, which can readily be swung
to any desired position. Compressed
air is thus admitted through a fexi-
BILE tube which connects with the bot
tom of the mold. The air pressure is
regulated by valves. AS soon as the
article is finished it is switched into
an annealing chamber, where it is
again heated and then allowed to
cool. This toughens it, and after the
process it is ready for use.
Plates of large size are being made
of glass by an adaptation of the same
process. In this case an ornamental
design is first made on a sheet of pc
culiar composition, which remains
moist for some time. Colored glass
is spread over this to work out the
design. Then the sheet is placed on
the glass plate and the whole is heat
ed in the oven. The heat consumes the
sheet en- which the design was made,
leaving only the layer of colored glass.
welded into the plate. Some remark
able and very picturesque effects are
made in this way.

CATTLE DISTEMPER.
This Disease Is Not Highly COnta-
gious, Yet Should BE Stamped
Out without Delay.

The Kansas experiment station has
lately been Investigating a cattle dis
ease resembling lump jaw; but unlike
lump jaw it is a sudden and severe
swelling of the glands of the throat,
instead of the slow growing tumor
that fastens itself to the bones of the
face or jaws. Cattle distemper begins
by a slight fever of two or three de-
grees, and slight discharge from the
eyes and nose. Later on assesses
form in the loose tissues and glands OF
the throat and head. If left alone they
break and remain open for some time.
The disease is not highly contagious;
yet the affected animals should not
be allowed to mingle with the others.
In it's early stages the swelling should
be we'll rubbed twice day with good
liniment, until the skin begins to get
sore. The following is accommodates:
Two ounces of gum camphor dissolved
in a half pint of turpentine and half
pint of kerosene. If the abscess forms
it should be opened and washed out
with warm water and a strong sOlu-
ton of blue vitriol, tablespoonful
dissolved in one half pint of water. In
some instances a small lump of blue
vitriol in the cavity works well. Pure
tincture of iodine is excellent. Cases
usually recover in a few weeks.-Agr1-
