then the fastest time on record by
a horse of his age. He was sired
by Black Hawk.
One trait of the Morgan horse
is its tendency to steal along so that,
before you think of it, you are max
ing much faster time than you wish
ed and have reached your journeys
end long before you intended.
There can be found now in this
(Boone) county many descendants
from the Morgan horse who still
retain much of the general makeup
and action of the old stock.
Mr.. Milo June, an old stage pro-
prietor, formerly in New England
and later in Missouri, said: ''I take
pleasure in bearing testimony to the
decided superiority of the Morgan
horses for coach service over any
other horses I have ever used"
Mr.. M. O. Walker, of the old
stage company of Frank & Walker
Tin the dear olden time) with head
quarters in Chicago, said: II have
been largely engaged in the business
of staging, which business affords
constant employment for about 1900
horses, and I have no hesitation in
saying I consider the Morgan horses
far superior to any breed or blood |
have ever known for road or farm
work"
have spun out this article too
long, but one can hardly say too
much in commentator ofthe Nor
gan horse.

Two of the sisters of Francis
Scott Key still survived him a few
years ago-Mrs. Howard, of Balti-
more, and Mrs. Steele, of Annapolis.
Key was man of fine proportions,
though not tall. He carried himself
erect and had winning features,
with an expression bordering on
sadness. His voice was musical, his
statements and addresses at the bar
clear, and on appropriate occasions
eloquent. He was the author of many
verses and hymns Of merit and met
rical beauty. He was devout mem-
ber of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, of purest life, and greatly
beloved by large circle of admir-
ing friends.
When he died a profound grief
was felt throughout the land. The
Supreme Court adjourned. The bar
and many societies passed ardent tri-
butes in his honor; the press uni-
versally joined in these. Thirty
years afterward Reverdy johnson
spoke of Mr.. Key in these words:
"Some of his writings are truly
gems of beauty. His style of speak
ing to a court was clear, and his
reasonings logical and powerful,
while his speeches to juries, when the
occasion admitted of it, were beauti-
fully eloquent. To the graces of
his many accomplishments he added,
what is still more to his praise, a
character of almost religious perfec-
ton. A firm believer in the Chris
tian dispensation, his conduct was
regulated by the doctrines inculcat-
ed by its founder. This being so, his
life was one of perfect purity"
The old flag that floated so proud
ly amid the shrieking shells at Fort
is still in existence and in
fairly good condition. 1t is in the
possession of the Appleton family,
of Boston. Mrs. George Arnistead
Appleton is a sister of Colonel Ap-
pleton, who commanded the beseiged

SUGAR DOES NOT 1HJuRE THE TEETH.

There is a prevalent notion that if
children are allowed to eat sugar
they will have bad teeth as a conse-
uuence. There is no foundation
whatever for such notion. The
negroes of the West Indies are ex-
cessive consumers of sweets. They
eat an enormous amount of sugar
cane. molasses and raw sugar. Yet
these people have particularly fine
teeth. Whatever other injuries sugar
may be capable of doing to the hu-
man system, it is very certain that it
does not do any injury to the teeth,
either in old or young persons.

THE CATS CLEANLINESS.

The most fastidious of mammals
in matters of toilet are to be found
among the members of the cat fami-
ly, as all must have noticed in do
mestic tabbies. The rough tongue
makes an excellent brush, while the
sharp claws are on occasion en-
ployed by way of combs, all these
invaluable aids to cleanliness and
smartness possessing the further adj

A healthy cat is not only clean
but fnical, not to say vain about
her (or his) personal appearance.
And moral degeneration in pussy is
accompanied by neglect of personal
grooming. That the dog is as dirty
as boy must be reluctantly be con-
fessed. He was the first animal to
be domesticated, and long associa-
ton with man has perhaps had to do
with his carelessness in the matter.

The difference between rising
every morning at 6 and 8 in the
course of forty years amounts to
10000 hours, or 8 years, I2I days
and 16 hours, which are equal to
eight hours a day for exactly ten
years. So that rising at 6 will be
the same as if ten years of life "a

wherein we may command eight
hours every day for the cultivation
of our minds and the dispatch OF

up crew OF first class men from those
who had come down with the advance,

should have finished their orgies by
now and, empty of pocket, should be
found hanging about the boarding
houses and the quieter saloons Thorpe
intended TO offer good wages for good
men. He would not need more than
twenty at first, for during the ap-
preaching winter he intended to log on
a very small scale indeed. The time
for expansion would come later.
With this object In view he set out

looms where the boys "hung OUT be-
