THE OLD TIME DERBY.
And How 1t Differs From the Meet of
These Rushing Days.

And How 1t Differs From the Meet of
These Rushing Days.
1t is strange, indeed, to look back up
on the manners and customs of the rae
ing world in the year of the first Derby
and contrast them with the new meth
DDS. In 17S0 there was the journey
down to the little Surrey town, and a
coachman thought himself lucky II he
could force his way from Westminster
to EPSON In twelve or fourteen hours
without dislodging a wbael en- route.
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all. for those were
days when tradesmen thought. like
John Gilpin, an outing once in two
years as much as they could afford. ,-a
In those days. too, a visit to EPSON
meant making a week Of it. Lodgings
had to be taken in the town by those
who were not fortunate enough to be
invited to share the hospitality of some
local magnate. Racing began about II
a. m. and after witnessing one or two
heats the company would retire to the
town to dine, returning later to witness
the conclusion of the sport .g.s
Nowadays the man Of fashion for the
most part elects to travel to and fro
by rail. He gets his Derby, as it were,
while he waits. 1t is quite possible for
him to partake Of an early luncheon in
Pail Mall, witness the great race with
out acquiring wrinkle in his collar or
disturbing the nap of his box hat and

may vastly exceed the estimates. The
engineers know they can complete the
Panama work within the estimates;
they hope to be able TO do SO at Nicsra-
qua.
II the latter offered the best canal
when finished. would not stop at the
cost. But It does not. Its great length,
its crookedness, its sharp curves in fol-
lowing the narrow tortuous bed Of the
San Juan river, the high winds blowing
all the time through that valley make
1t certain that the canal by this line
would be difficult one for ships TO pass
through. Ii is true that the distance
from San Francisco to New York Is
little less via Nicaragua than via Pan
anna. This is the one advantage which
any one has been able nationally TO
claim for the former route. But all
the advantage there Is in that, Is COM
pletely wiped out by the loss OF time in
getting through the long and crooked
canal.
caused inquiries TO be made Of SO
practical vessel men-owners, captains,
mates, and other officers OF both steam
aud sailing ships on the ocean, many Of
them men Of practical experience In
the Suez. Kiel and Manchester ship
canals. The data as TO the physical
conditions surrounding the two pro-
posed canals were fairly placed before
these practical men. They replied
turanimously, that at equal tolls they
would use the Panama canal in prefer
ence TO the Nicaragua. They unani-
nously replied they would not attempt
- go through the long and crooked
canal without tugs t assist them. The
] $50 miles, greater distance, from New
York TO San Francisco was pointed out
to them. and they were asked TO take
this and the other conditions into con.
sideration and say which route they
would prefer In making voyage
Their answer is unanimously In favor
of Panama.
One very serious factor must be taker
into account, and that is the stability
of the canal. Earthquakes may occur
along both lines, through the earth
lquake risks Is not great one In either
case. A canal is in the earth, like {
ditch; it Is not high building. Earth
Iquakes are more frequent and intens'
at Nicaragua than at Panama, SO far a.
that Is concerned. But the volcant
danger is actual, and must be reckonet
with. There are plenty Of volcanoe
along the Nicaraugua route; there i
no volcano within $50 miles Of the Pan
anna line. There are volcanoes aloni
the Nicaragua and Managus canal. Z

Taking everything into consideration
from q practical standpoint, TO my min
there is not . shadow Of doubt as u
which route we should choose.

There are some hospitable creatures
who are greatly disturbed If they can
not meet every demand made on them.
although there are cases when IL is
ridiculous to expect them to be able to
be equal to the occasion. Recently a
barn took fire on large estate, and the
firemen of the village worked hard to
put out the flames After it was all

When offering food and drink to the
invalid, one should avoid things very
sweet and very sour. as they are often
very hurtful to weak stomachs. Most
sick people can take milk, but in many
cases it is not well to give it raw.
Baked milk is good and may be taken
fearlessly into the most delicate stom-
ach. To prepare this properly put two
quarts of fresh sweet milk in Jar
covered with white writing paper,
tightly tied down, and bake it in, an
owen moderately hot until thick as
cream, which will take about eight or
ten hours. A less quantity will not re-
quire 30 long.-St- Louis Republic.

MOTORS VERSUS HORSES.

OF the many points OF superiority
which the motor car possesses over the
horse drawn vehicle one To which atten-
tion is seldom called Is that OF the ca
pacity for descending hills at a fair
pace. SO excellent are the brake sys-
TENS on motor cars generally and 50
completely are they under the drivers
control that IL is perfectly feasible for
them TO run down hill at the same
speed as on the level or even faster at
times. The average horse drawn ve-

have been dipped i'm the fountain of
perpetual youth is that OF the Anneke
Jams heirs. Every ten years or so we
read in the papers that the Anneke
Jams heirs scattered over the country
have held a meeting and resolved TO
send an attorney TO New York TO col
lect bill from the Trinity Church cor
poration amounting TO several millions
of dollars. Respecting the origin of this
claim there is one of the most romantic
stories attached TO the early settlement
OF New York TO which came a certain
Roelof Jansen and his wife Anneke in
1880 from Holland. In 1886 the governor
OF New Amsterdam gave them tract
of siXty-two acres, now comprising a
valuable portion OF New York city I'm
the business district. Roelof Jansen
died. and in 1858 his widow Anneke
married the second minister In the col
ony. Dominic Bogardus, who was
drowned in l647. After the death of
! Anneke in 1864 the grant of land was
confirmed 20 her children (four by her
| first husband and four by the second)

verified by the ancient patent book" in

enues from it's holdings for nearly 200
years, the annual income being placed
at about $500 900, and the value of its
properties at not less than $16,000.000.
The Anneke Jams heirs assert that
Trinity held a lease only for ninety
nine years, which has, of course. long
since expired, but the corporation re-
torts that II has gained right by pos
session even IL its original title was de-
fective. However. the heirs have been

have that successful lawsuit of Mrs

worldwide celebrity as "the most re-

HOW THE JAPs DRAW TEETH,

The japanese dentist does not fright
en- his patient with an array of steel in
struments. All his operations in tooth
drawing are performed by the thumb
and forefinger of one hand
The skill necessary to do this is &C.
quired only after long practice, but
when once IL is obtained the operator
is able TO extract half a dozen teeth in
about thirty seconds without once re-
moving his fingers from the patients
mouth.
The dentists education commences
with the pulling out of plugs which
have been pressed into soft wood; II
ends with the drawing of hard pegs
which have been driven into an oak
plank with heavy mallet.
