Tricks of Jockeys.

Riding backwards" or ''cross mo. tion," of all the jockeys tricks is the most effective, and at the same time the most difficult of detection. It is a simple trick, consisting simply of throwing the motion of the body out of time with that of the horse, and by the sway of his body helping to lift him at every bound. Another trick practiced by jockeys is called the ''leg lock-" and when cautiously applied has more to do with the result of the race than the uninitiated may think. In effect, it is one jockey holding another back, and this done by the ''leg lock-" Two horses are leading the field, one perhaps only a neck ahead of the oth. CT. As they cone into the straight they are running close together. The leading jockey sees his chance and draws closer to his opponent until the horses almost touch. He let's the sec ond gain on him until the leg of his opponent touches his leg from behind. This is just what the little rascal wants. Let his opponent win if he can. Every lunge of the second horse pushes the first one ahead, tiring itself and easing the flight of the other. until the final spurt, when the horse thus aided easily comes in the winner.

London Times May Also Desert the
 Government Now in Force.
 London. Feb 22-Lord Rosebery's announcement of his final separation from Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerm section of the Liberal party (announced by the former in a letter to the Lon- don Times this morning), forms fruit ful topic for afternoon editorials and for discussion i'll all quarters of Great Britain.
 One of the most noticeable phases is the curious effect the letter produced on the wording of the Times's editorial on the subject.
 It's frendllness to the ex-premier might easily be explained on the ground unionist delight at definite split in the opposition ranks. But it's declaration that what the country wants is not brand new set of prin- cipIes, but new set of men capable Of replacing the present set without upsetting the policy of the empire, goes on to say Lord Rosebery's party must prove that they can be trusted to infuse business energy and capacity in the prosecution of an imperial policy, concluding with the remarkable state ment that:
 If the fruition of efforts in that di- rection may seem to be remote. we can only say it may come sooner than any body expects"
 This utterance has started rumors of new coalition between the unionists and imperial liberals, under the leader ship of the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Rosebery. besides the possible de- 1 lection of the Times in it's support of l the present government.
 l The secretary of the admiralty, H. l o. Arnold-Forster. introduced the naval l estimates for 1902-03 in the house of l commons. which show total of G31.- 1 255.000 as compared with G30.S75, GOO l last year. During the course of an ac- companying statement Mir Arnold-Fors- 1 ter remarked that no thinking man could have anticipated any reduction 1 from the estimates of last year. in view of the fact that the army was engaged 1 in a difficult conflict 1000 miles away. l In regard to the naval reserve the secretary of the admiralty said the l government had discovered that there were legal objections. to the engage ment of men in Newfoundland. The movement would. therefore, be tempo. rarily arrested. but legislation would be introduced legalizing the engage ment of men in every part of the em. pire. The secretary further announced that promotion in the engineering de
 partment would be accelerated by the creation of ten new posts.
 He also said that the progress o1 naval construction during the past year had been unparalleled
 There will be under construction fol

How Emery Is Quarried.

Emery comes from the island of Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean, whence it has been exported for the last two centuries or more. The beds are in the northeast of the is land. There are about 300 men en- gagged in the trade, all of whom have to be married before they are admit ted to the fraternity. The material is much too hard to be dug out or even blasted. Great fires are lighted round the blocks till the natural cracks expand with the heat, and levers are then inserted to pry them apart. This system is continued un- til the blocks are reduced in size to masses of a cubic foot or less, and they are then shipped as if they were coal. There are said to be 2O,oOO,Goo tons yet available at Naxos. It is one of the hardest substances known St. James Budget.

Green Tea and Black Tea.

The difference in color between green and black tea has been ascribed to various causes. Recently MT. Also, of the agricultural college at Tokyo, has investigated the subject, and he offers, in substance, the following ex- planation: In making green tea the leaves are steamed as soon as gath cred; in the case of black tea the leaves are allowed to ferment before drying. The result is that the fin ished black tea contains much less tannin than the green contains. The original tea-leaf possesses an oxi- dizing enzymne which is destroyed in the green tea by steaming. In black tea, during fermentation, the enzyme oxidizes the tannin and gives rise to a brownish-colored product.- Youths Companion.

Little EIsie's Comment.

A six-year-old member of Harlem family of five girls has been the inno cent cause of much surprise and amusement to her elders lately by reason of many droll remarks.
 A few days ago 8 relative, on a New Years visit to the family, told of the progress his son was making in his first year at public school. The little girl had seemingly been inter- ested in Christmas doll on the floor, near her fathers knee, but no sooner had the talk ceased than she looked up at the visitor. and said:
 .sHave you little boy, Uncle Will?''
 ssTes, Elsie. And why do you ask ?''
 A look of happiness spread over F1sie's face, and brushing back a golden curl with her hand, she said very deliberately;
 "Well, indeed, you're a lucky man, Uncle Will, for there's a ca-lam'ty of girls in our house."-N. Y. Times.

STATE REFoRMATORY
Judge Bill Says One Is Needed for
 Bad Boys over Is Years.


 Hartford, Feb 22-At the last meeting of the Municipal Judges as- sociatfon of Connecticut, ill this city, Judge Bill opened q discussion on the need of state reformatory for young wrong doers. Under the statute any boy over 16 years old found guilty of a crime must be sent to jail, he being too old to be committed to the Con- necticut School for Boys at Meriden. Judge Bill has always argued that q by should not be sent to jail for the reason that his associations there are not inclined to reform his morals. No judge was willing to say at the meeting that he knew of a boy being reformed by "a jail sentence. All agreed that they disliked to commit boys to jail.
 Judge Bill had such q case before him yesterday. John Wood, 16 years old, q transient, was charged with vagrancy. He was arrested Thurs day night by Policeman McDermott, for begging. Judge Bill remarked that it was too bad there was not q state reformatory to send the boy to. He further said that it would be 2 hardship to commit the boy to jail. He continued the case until Monday, when lie will render his decision. In the meantime Woods will remain in jail.

Feared Disgrace tn Next worla.


 Recently Chinese boy was brought into the Peking hospital terribly in jured by heavy log falling upon him. The doctors, to save his life, de- cided to cut off his leg. The mother came, apparently to help to nurse the lad. The patient, however, almost im- mediately afterward died, and expert examination showed that his mother had given him arsenic. Her reason, it is supposed, was to prevent her son from the disgrace of reaching the next world in maimed condition. This is a very strong point with the Chinese, who always pickle an ampu- tated member to have it buried with them when they eventually die. In this instance, the family being poor and whole leg being difficult to pickle, the simpler course was taken of poisoning the boy, so that he and his leg might go together.-Cincin- nati Enquirer.

auakers Not Non-ne.1s,an,.

!: probably conveys wrong impress sion to call these Quakers non-resist- ants and non-eo1nbatants, says Penn sylvania Quaker in Atlantic. They did not hold the views of which Tolstoi is now the most distinguished ex- ponent. They believed in fairness, in insistence on reason and its forcibie sentation, and on force up to the point where force used criminal meth ods.1 During all the colonial period dEey constituted the liberty party of the province, and wrung from success sive governors one concession after another. They showed ability to re- sist bravely and successfully when ever their rights were invaded. In the struggles with the crown and parlia- ment which preceded the revolutions they were united in opposition, and adopted heartily the measures of non- importation and protest which eharac- rerized the policy of John Dickinson. During the war there are good reasons for believing that the sympathies of the great majority were with the Americans, and several hundred of them, though under the disapproba- fion of their ecclesia stica1 bodies, gave active aid to the revolutionary cause.

Returns Home Manned.

One of the passengers on the out
going morning Peoria passenger of
the Rock Island road was Edward Nc
Kown, aged Is, minus an arm, en-
route to his home in the central part
of Kentucky. He was accompanied
by his elder brother.
Edward said he got it into his head
a year ago that he wanted to see the
world, so he ran away, taking the
side door sleeper route. He got as far
west as Colorado, but he had turned
his face homeward when he encoun-
tered the mishap that cost him the
loss of an arm. He was swinging I'M
der a freight car at Wilton Junction.
on the Rock Island road, about two
weeks ago, when the train gave "a
sudden jolt and his arm fell under
the wheels. He screamed and the
conductor of the train heard his
cries. The boy was lifted from under
the train and carried to the depot
and doctor summoned.
The boy tells that he was alone and
had but a small amount of money,
although he rented a room and with
stood the terrible pain while his par
ents in the south were notified and
his brother came to his assistance.
The arm was severed at the shoulder.
