BLooMrNGDALEs WON RUN.
Capt. White Brings His Team in First
After Exciting Finish.

The much talked-of Bloomingdale-Greeh-
WITCH cross-country run was pulled off in
good time White of the Bloomingdales fin
ishing first in seven minutes.
AS this was the Bloomingdale's first cross
country run they deserve much credit for
their winning.
The Greenwich. under the leadership or
Capt. Grady, chose short cut through the
woods but as II afterward proved. they
were seriously hampered by the roughness
of the ground.
White led his men out Bunker Hill road
to Lincoln avenue, a straight course over
good ground.
The only race OF the contest was between
Worley of the Bloomingdales and Capt
Grady of Greenwich for third place. Wor-
ley winning only after hard pull.

Oregon Blood Purifier Is
rightly named, because it purifes the
blood and tones up the body.


The Revue Scientifique has been
asking what muscles tire soonest, with
the conclusion that it is not the mus
Giles In use. but those under tension, al
though doing no work. The writer
urges us to use the arms and legs less
and the back and neck more, for on
them comes the greatest strain. He
has been asking men OF all occupations
the same questions:
When you have worked much, where
do you feel tired?
Before you were trained did fatigue
show itself in the same regions?
All the answers point TO the same
conclusions. The baker who kneads
dough all night complains of fatigue
In his legs.
The blacksmith is tired, not in his
arms and shoulders, but In his back
and loins.
The young soldier, after a march, is
especially tired in the back of the
neck, even if he has carried no KNAPP
sack
The oarsman who is in perfect train
ing after prolonged exercise gets tired
in his calves and insteps.
These facts point to the conclusion
that in any continued effort we should
try to alter the habit of contraction
That is to say, the body, like the mind
needs change of work.

supservient to the Master.

Even in these days of gallantry, a
woman is constantly reminded of her
old inferior position in the eyes OF
the lords Of creation" The word
lady" which is supposed to be so
complimentary, means zone who serves
bread"-a waitress. nothing more nor
less; so that when you address a
countess even as MY lady" you are
simply saying the equivalent of my
waitress" wife" is another word for
weaver" the woman who weaves
her lords and her chndren's raiment.
"Spinster" is, Of course, a spinner, "
word reminiscent OF the days when
girl had to spin her complete out
fit of house linen before she was fit to
be a wife; and Mrs" is an abbrevia-
ton of masteress, the most fiatterlng

Some CURIOUS FINDS.
Money Lost on a Farm Was Located
Inside a Potato.

Inside a Potato.
A Scarborough gentleman was sur
prised recently to find thirty eight pins
in his breagfast egg, and most other
people would have been surprised, too,
under the circumstances. There ought
to be a collection of miraculous eggs
somewhere. 1t was only two years
ago since a hen laid an egg at Bed
ford with a penny in IT. There is no
doubt at all as to the fact, but the
question, How did the penny get in
side the egg?" has never been quite
satisfactorily settled.
A comparison puzzle is afforded by
market gardener, well known at
Spitalields market, who once lost and
found a half crown under almost in
credible circumstances. He was in
specting his crops when he dropped
the half crown on the ground, and
though he searched long and diligent-
ly, he searched in vain. A year passed
and the incident was being forgotten,
when, as he was selecting some pota-
toes for the market, Mr.. Smith came
across one OF very curious shape.
Cutting 1t open to discover the cause
Of its eccentricity, the gardener found
inside it the half-crown piece he had
lost twelve months before. The po-
tato was seen by hundreds Of people,
and the truth Of the story Is well
youched for.
Remarkable as they are, there is
nothing unique in these cases. One
OF the romances OF money-making is
the story OF a man who found a news
paper inside shark when fishing in
Australia in 1870, and who learned the
news OF the Franco-German war In
this way early enough TO make a for
tune out of it. The story may be true
or not; everybody in Australis
knows il.
Another after the same kind Is tina

Shock for the Lawyer.

A well-known lawyer of this city,
whose office is located close to the
city hall, received a tremendous shock
the other day. He was counsel for a
man charged with larceny, and, as the
evidence was conclusive, he advised
his client to plead guilty.
"You know that you have a bad rec.
ord and you have practically confessed
your guilt" said the lawyer in sooth-
ing manner, land you will be sentenc-
ed to about three years in jail"
This last sentence completely dunn
founded the prisoner. but after he had
looked about his cell for several min
utes he turned to his attorney and in q
very serious manner said: "Will you
kindly go out and get me a good law
yer"
AS soon as the lawyer recovered
from the shock he told the prisoner he
would argue the case for him.-Phila

Time and Books.

The economy Of saving time is wise,
but there is an economy OF spending
time. In reading. especially, hurry is
most wasteful. Reading is the max
ing of thoughts, of ideas, of pictures in
the brain. All young photographers
know how little is TO be made out OF
an "under-exposed plate" but do they
understand that there may be such a
thing as an under-exposed brain? II
takes time to make impressions on the
mind. II you read too fast, either
aloud or to yourself, or skim over your
reading, the mind receives poor i'm
pressions or none at all.-St. Nicholas
