Bellows of $500 Years Ago.

Dr.. Johnson says, respecting the
word bellows, perhaps It is corrupt
ed from bellies, the wind being con-
tanned in the hollow or belly. 1t has
no singular, for We usually say pair
of bellows, but Dryden has used bel
lows as a singular"
Strabo informs us, from an old his.
torian. t:at Anacharsis, the Scythlan
philosopher, who lived in the time OF
Solon, about GOO years before Christ,
invented the bellows. as well as the
anchor and potter's wheel. but this &C.
count is very doubtful, as Pliny, Sen
eca, Diogenes, ETC.. who likewise
speak Of tie inventions ascribed to
that philosopher. mention only the
two last, and not the bellows.
It appears. however, that they were
known in ancient times to the Greeks,
and Virgil mentions them In his fourth
Georgtc.-Mirror.

tory in favor OF the Reliance, the
American defender.
The details of the final race are given
in the following dispatch:
New York, Special.-The Reliance,
the American cup defender, won the
third and final race. and the series Tor
that famous sea trophy, the American S
CUP. in a dense fog, which prevented
vision beyond 200 yards, she finished
the race at 5:S0:02, amid the acclama-
ton of the assembled fleet. Shamrock
Ill, after running for more than an
hour in the fog. missed the finish llae,
nassed by it, and then returned to 1t
from the opposite direction. AS the he-
lance was then being towed through
the feet yacht, ensigns futtering from
her truck and spreading in celebration
of her victory. the Shamrock Ill. did
not cross the finish line. AS often said
of the historic race when the Amerlc3
won the cup, there was no second.
This successful result was achleVed
only after four futile attempts to sail
off the final race and after the outcome
had been admitted bv even Sir Thomss
Linton to be a foreeone conclusion.
The DAYS was the eighth attempt TO
sail a race. After one fuke the Rell-
ance won the two following races, one
nv minutes and seconds, and the
other by / minute and 19 seconds. A
week ago the first attempt to sail the
third race failed and attempts have
been made every day this week. On
two occasions the Reliance led the
Shamrock to the finish line by about
miles. but failed to reach 1t before
the expiration OF the time limit OF 55
hours. The days victory means tnat
the cup is destined to remain IN Amer
lea until England is able to produce d
genius equal to Herreschoh in yacht
designing.

TRUCK DRIVER AND HORSE.
How n Friendly Understanding De-
NeIoped Between Them.


How Friendly Understanding De-
VcIOped Between Them.
The friendly relations which often
exist between truck drivers and their
horses is shown in the story of Chief
tain. one of the tales in Horses Nine"
by Sewell Ford. Tim Doyle. the driv-
err. having been left alone in the world,
takes up lodgings in the stable. The
story runs thus: So for three years or
more Chieftain had always had good
night pat on the flank from Tim, and
in the morning. after the currying and
rubbing, they had Il little friendly ban
ter in the way of love slaps from Tim
and good natured nosingS from Chief
tain. Perhaps many of Tins conf
dences were given half in jest. and per-
haps Chieftain sometimes thought that
Tim was Il bit slow in perception; but,
all in all. each understood the other
even better than either realized.
OF course Chieftain could not tell
Tim of all those vague longings which
had to do with new grass and springy
turf. nor could he know that Tim had
similar longings. These thoughts each
kept 10 himself. But if Chieftain was
of Norman blood. horse whose noble
Sires had ranged pasture and paddock
free from rein or trace, Tim was
DOYLE whose father and grandfather
had lived close to the good green sod
and had done their toll in the open,
with the cool and calm of the country
to soothe and revive them.
OF such delights as these both Chief
tain and Tim had tasted scantily, hur-
ricdly. in youth. and for them in the
lapses of the daily grind both yearned
each after his own fashion.
And. each in his way, Tim and Chief
tain were philosophers. As the years
had come and gone, toll filled and
unevcntful the character of the man
had ripened and mellowcd, the DISPOSE
ton of the horse had settled and sweet
ened.
In his earlier days Tim had been
ready to smash Il wheel or lose one, 10
