AGED BROOD MARES.

Recently, in chronicling the advent
of foal produced by "a thoroughbred
matron, Lexington turf correspon-
dent took occasion to preface the news
by stating that ''it is seldom that a
mare rs years old has foal." In
one respect the statement is obvious
ly true, because the average life of a
brood mare is less than twenty-five
years, says the Ho, Sc Revley. Every
one that attains that age is, in the
homely phrase, living on borrowed
time. But when we come to exam
inc breeding history, we cannot but
be surprised at the many cases-that
is, proportionately-in which the fe-
cundity of famous matrons has been
prolonged to an extreme age. Sever
al current instances have been record
ed during the past few weeks. One
is that of Madeleine, 2.23A, the no
ted daughter of Rysdyk's Hamble-
tonian and Nancy Whitman, dam Of
Robert McGregor, 2.17H. Made
leine is Fl years old, but now has a
newborn foal at foot. Sally Brass,
2.3655, by George Wilkes, the dam
of Dick Hubbard, 2.o7A, is 26 and
is also sucking foal of 1902. Jessie
Pepper, the celebrated daughter of
Mambrino Chief, produced her last
foal at the age of 28. So did Prim-
rose, the greatest daughter of Alex
ander's Abdallah. The effort, to be
sure, cost her life, but the foal lived.
Beautiful Bells last foal is Monbells,
who made a record of 2.23H last year
as a 4-year-old, and was produced
when his dam was rs; Green Noun
tain Maid also produced her last foal,
Lancelot, 2.23, at rs, and Miss Rus
sell was the same age when she pro-
duced her last, the PAGER Sclavonic,
I.ooA-a series of quite remarkable
condolences concerning these mares
who are, by general consent, consid-
cred the three greatest trotting ma
irons. No complete list of the pro-
duce of Minnehaha exists, but it is
certain that she was at least 27 when
her last foal was dropped. Clara is
another of the very greatest brood
mares whose last foal was produced
at Is. Fanny Jackson produced her
fourth 2.3o trotter at 26. Maid of
Clay was rs when she produced her
fourth. Stella A. dam of Franklin,
2.1oA etc., produced last year at IS.
Mary produced Dick Moore, 2.22H,
at 27. Belle, the dam Of Belmont,
was fruitful at rs; and SO we might
go on in the citation of instances. 1t
has also often proven the fact that,
while it seems unnatural to expect it,
some of the very last foals of ex-
tremely aged brood mares have been
among the best of their produce.
The subject is an interesting one,
which discussion involves many Gu
rious facts, some of which seem among
the most battling ones in natural
science.

AN INTERESTING QUERY.

Thinking people of the present age
are asking questions which the un-
thinking people consider foolish or
impossible.
Will there come a time when the
human body will cease to decay?
Will life find an everlasting home in
the human body? Yes, I verify be-
lieve that the time will come when
the body will not crumble and decay
and sink into the earth.
The air which we breath into our
bodies is the real great destroyer of
our bodies, and will continue to be
until all the liquids are extracted
from the air before it enters the
breathing chambers.
Air is the destroyer of everything
on the face of the earth.
Let us think for a moment. Is
there anything that will not perish
and decay when long exposed to the
air? How can we overcome this
great destroyer?
Human invention will find way
to extract the poison from that which
we breathe, but nature must purify
the atmosphere of the earth in the
ages to come.
An electric girdle or a globe of
electricity seems now to be gathering
on the outer portion of the earth's
atmosphere. Our solar system is
continually generating electricity.
The sun, the core of the universe, is
the great dynamo. What else could
it be? When space began to revolve
nature found a central portion of
space which could not revolve.
The voluminous mass could not re-
volve on a minute center the size of
a pea; however, the great wheel
went on turning, and that central
portion which refused to turn was
held with all its surface to the inner
hub of the grinding wheel. This
grinding vibration soon created
St gTsst heat 4e ts351e ad Sc a apg srv 9 g9o5e Viii
be found at the center.
But, as started to say in the be-
ginning of this article, that grinding
at the center of the universe is Great
ing and sending forth great volumes
of electricity which is being drawn
and stored by the planets. Our plan
ct (the earth) is storing its share,
which will in the course of time dry
up the waters of the earth and drive
the liquids from the air. When this
is done there will be no poison to
sink into our bones and cause our
flesh to decay. Life will then find
an everlasting home in the human
body. I do not claim that we could
at once substitute and breathe elec-
tricity into our lungs we must be-
come gradually adapted to it.
There are fishes that live at the
bottom of the deep sea that can not
live in the water near the surface
they can only live under a very great
water pressure. The same with the
animals of the lower air, such as man
and the beasts that creep about the
surface of the earth they must have
high pressure of air to support life ;
they can not live in the upper air to
any great distance. As the transfor-
nation goes on, we slowly become
adapted to the new conditions. John
c. Hanrahan, in st. Louis Globe

AMERICAN EARTHQUAKES.

Besides the Charleston earthquake
of 1886 in which al lives were lost
and about SIS, 600, 900 worth of prop
erty was destroyed, says the New
York ,Sun, there have been two other
notable earthquakes in the United
States within historic times-one near
the head of the Mississippi delta in
I8II-I2, and one in the Inyo Valley,
CAL, in 1872.
The former, known as the New
Madrid earthquake, was remarkable
for the length of time which its phe-
nomena covered. There were sever
al shocks at short intervals for several
months, and the whole series of shocks
lasted about two years.
The country was sparsely settled,
and no scientific records of the dis
turbance were made, but it is related
that the alluvial land of the bottoms
was traversed by visible waves, which
rocked the trees to and fro and up
rooted many. Huge assures were
opened. and lakes were drained by
the escape of waters into them. The
largest sunken area is said to have
been 90 or so miles long and nearly
half as broad.
The Inyo Valley earthquake was
caused by a renewed movement along
the great fault plain at the eastern
base of the Sierra Nevada. The chief
shock lasted only few minutes, but
others of less violence continued for
two or three months.
A tremendous fssure was formed
along the base of the mountain range
for about 40 miles. The land west
of the fssure rose, and the land east
of it fell several feet.
Owens river was temporarily swal-
lowed up. In the village of Inyo all
the houses were thrown down and
one-tenth of the inhabitants were
killed.

THE HAPPY LONG AGO.
They tell US Of the good old times

They tell us of the good old times
The happy long ago
Alas the world today is filed
With nothing much but woeI
Back in the blissful, lovely days,
When all things were so nice,
No iceman's wagons rumbled, and
The people had no ice.
Back in the happy, happy days
When people were so blest,
When life was worth the living, and
The world was at its best,
Men didn't turn the faucets on
When they went home al night,
And plunge as we plunge into tubs
All smooth and clean and white.
The good old days. the fair old days,
Ere awnings had been made,
How sweet it must have been, when it
Was ninety in the shade.
To sit beside window where
The sun was shining through
While from unsprinkled streets the dust
In choking volumes blew!
How glad they must have been who lived
In those old. happy days,
When everything was done by hand
In good, old-fashioned ways,
When smoky candles pierced the gloom
And babies yelled at night
Because there were no safety pins
To give their souls delight.
Alas happy. happy days long past,
When all the world was gay,
Ere window screens had been devised
To keep the flies away,
When people slept on corded beds
And had their visions rare,
While glad mosquitoes took their fill
What happiness was therei

STORIES OF GRANT AND LEE.

Two interesting wartime stories
were told recently by Senator Bacon,
of Georgia. One of them concerned
Senator Pettus, of Alabama, who, as
everybody knows, was a gallant Off
Ger in the Confederate army.
In one of the battles before Vicks-
burg Senator Pettus, then colonel,
was captured and carried as a prison
er before Gen. Grant.
Colonel" said Grant, when the
prisoner was brought before him,
"what are those troops out in front
of me?"
General" replied Pettus, I must
decline to answer that question.
Gen. Grant looked him in the eye
for moment. "You are right, col
onel," he said. Then turning to an
officer near by, Grant said: "tTake
this gentleman to the rear and treat
him kindly"
Senator Pettus has never forgotten
that interview with Gen. Grant.
The other story illustrates the same
nobility of feeling in Gen. Robert E.
Lee, the commander of the Confeder-
ate forces.
1t was at the close of the battle of
Gettysburg. AS Gen. Lee rode from
the field he came upon young Union
soldier, a mere boy, lying on the
grass, wounded. The boy, though
painfully hurt and unable to rise,
had spirit not to be quenched. As
he recognized the Confederate uni
form he raised himself upon his ell
bow. "Hurrah for the Union p he
cried defantly, though with feeble
voice.
Gen. Lee got down from his horse,
went over to the boy, and laid his
hand tenderly on his head. IT hope,
my son." he said, "that you are not
much hurt, and that you will soon be
