The Japnnese Acrobat's Toes.

The little Japanese acrobat, in his
short robe of black embroidered with
gold dragons, walked slowly up the
slanting wire cable to the very roof of
the circus tent. There he paused Il mo-
ment. and then-swish. swish. swish
he slid smoothly and gracefully down
the steep wire to the ground. Elevat-
ing his voice above the loud applause,
an old circus man said THAT sliding
trick has never been learned by a Eu-
ropean. It's trick that the laps alone
do. If you watched our little friend you
noticed that he always kept the wire
between his big toe and the second toe.
When he slid. the wire was between his
toes. That is the way the Japanese
learn to walk the wire, but we English
and Americans can't learn to walk In
that way because our toes have not the
same suppleness and strength. Our
toes. confined for generations in I'M
hygienic, tight, heavy leather boots,
have no muscle and no mobility. To
slide down a wire requires we'll devel-
oped toes first Of all. We, therefore,
can't match the Japs in this snowy,
telling and difficult feat" - Philadel-
phia Record.

aHORSE-BREEDERS' MEETING. :.
Opening Exhibition at Bangor first
week i'm August.

Opening Exhibition at Bangor first
week in August.
The horse breeders of Msine and the
Provinces recently organized an associa-
tion known as the Eastern Horse Breeders
association, and they have arranged to
give their opening exhibition at Maple
wood park, Bangor, August A. band 6, and
1t Is to be hoped that the public generally
will realize that here is an opportunity to
see the best exhibition OF all classes of
horses ever presented i'll Maine, to say the
least.
The racing will be OF very high order,
as the entry list includes the very best
horses 10 Maine and the Provinces, and as
no hopples are allowed, and no iockeying
will be permitted, the visitor ought to see
some clean sport, and he undoub tedly
Will.
This is not all, for in addition to the
races there will be an open air horse show
every forenoon, as well as an auction sale
of breeding stock and a display of car
riages, sulkies and harness.
There is also to be display Of working
horses, something similar to what was so
very popular in Boston this spring, when
$50 horses were exhibited for premiums,
as we'll as for the approval of the large
numb Der of spectators.
Liberal prizes have been offered for this
display, and large entry list is sure to
result. Then there is TO be an exhibition
Of fire horses, and the horses hitched to
the apparatus will come to the wire for
their lives. This cannot fail to be very
interesting feature of the meeting.
II the breeders meeting does not draw
a crowd of people to Bangor, one hardly
knows what kind of an entertainment
would have to be offered to get them there.
The railroads offer half fare for the entire
meeting.
This association starts out without a
dollar appropriated by the State, and its
sole object is to enhance the value of the
| Maine horse, and to this end is advertis-
| ing to pay nearly $4,000 in premiums
every dollar OF which win go into the ter
| ritorial limits of the association.
