Good TWO-Year-0lds Will
Face Starter.

If the present week at Belmont Park
is not productive OF better racing than
the one just passed il will never be
classed as a memorable one in the his
tory of the turf
Aside from the Whitney Memorial,
which was run for the first time On Sat
urday, the renewal Of the various stake
fixtures of the Westchester Racing As
ISOLATION fell far below the average. and
the quality Of the fields sent to the post
for them was distinctly commonplace.
This was true Of the Withers and the
Fashion. Withdrawals from the former
reduced the mile struggle to a three
cornered affair between colts that have
never had much claim to class, and the
FLIES that made up the company for
much above the selling class division.
A majority of them will probably be
running in selling races before the sea-
son is ended.
Big Subscription.
There is another week. however. and
the hope that is eternal on the turf in
spires the belief among racing folk that

sibly the most interesting stake to be
decided Is the National Stallion, which

In this number are included some of
the sprightiiest two-year-olds that have
been sent to the races this spring. New
ton Benningtons lusty big Watercress
colt First Water, which has yet to know
what defeat is like, is the most con-
spicuous candidate at present for the
National Stallion, and If he starts he
will give some of those that already
have been yanquished by him another

see Francis r. Hitchcock s Vendor and
August Belmont's Don Diego, in particu-
lar avail themselves OF the opportunity
which the stake presents.

Greatest Work Overlooked
by Spectators.

The playing of an out6elder is prob
ably the most entertaining and inter-
esting feature of a baseball game, es-
pecially to those who are not familiar
with the sport.
The f1elder's work is always IN plain
view. and as his plays are not so fast
ana snappy as those Of the infieid,
spectators can follow his movements
accurately from the time the ball IS
hit. The more graceful he is the more
applause he gets from the grand stand.
Fielding is very much the same III
all three positions, though there are
many good left and right fielders who
cannot play center on account Of not
being able to cover territory equally
as well IN either direction The great
est bugaboo to outhelders and one
which has caused many fast men to
falter is the sunfield

Keeler's Description.
The best description of the require
meats of an outfelder is told In the
language of Willie Keller. the veteran
player, now with the Highlanders, who,
IN conversation. said:
THE primary duty of an outhelder is
to Judge q fly ball from the moment it
is hit by the batter and when 1t strikes
his hand clutch it with an iron grip.
An error by an outfielder is never ex-
cused in the grand stand. 4 groan
always follows the n1uffing of a fly ball.
To hold q job, no matter how good a
fielder, he must be & good, consistent
hitter. But that is another story.
The outhelder must also be a good
judge OF batters and know reasonably
well in what part of the field TO place
himself TO prevent the ball falling safe

Clarity of vision had come to Gordon IN
these months He had grown to see
his old acts, not gaunt and perverse,
projections of insistent caprice, but
luminous with new self-solution. He
had learned himself: what he had
never known, either in his London life
of success and failure, or in its ignoble
Venetian aftermath.
Looking out toward the purpling
Apennines, where the sun sank to his
crimson covert, he felt a mute aching

Increasing Farm Values.

If every farm owner would look up- on his farm as the merchant does upon his stock of goods, as something to be improved as his business grows, farm values would increase wonderfully fast. If the average farm will do no more for its owner than feed his fam fly and furnish him money for taxes and scant clothing there is something wrong with the farm or the farmer. Of course, there are seasons when this is all that may be got out of a year of farm work, but 1t ought not to continue from year to year; if 1t does there Is, as we have said, something wrong.
 If the farm is running down, if the stock is deteriorating instead of i'm proving, if the buildings remain un- painted year after year and If the crops are growing smaller instead of larger then we are not keeping up our salable stock and enlarging it, and our farm value Is growing less instead of great CT. Too many of us are farming now adays because we have to, because we know no other business. If we would use the same energy, the same brains and have the same hopefulness and faith in our business that the merchant has in his we would find a way of making the business grow or we would get out of It.

Small warts on children's hands when they appear in numbers can be got rid of certainly and painlessly by keeping them constantly moist with a lotion made by adding two drams of dilute nitric acid to one pint of water.
 One of the latest ideas is that celery is a cure for rheumatism. It is as- serted that the disease Is impossible if the vegetable be cooked and freely eaten. The celery should be cut into pieces and boiled in water until soft, and the water drunk by the patient. Put new milk, with little four and nutmeg, into a saucepan with the boiled celery, serve 1t warm with pieces of toast, eat 1t with potatoes, and the painful ailment will soon yield. Such is the declaration of physician who has again and again tried the ex- pertinent, and with uniform success.
 The uric-acid theory of gout gives the dletetic treatment as the elimina- tion of all nitrogenous or albuminous principles from the food. To this diet should be added natural mineral wa ters. The medicinal treatment con sists of alkalles and purgatives. The quinate of plperazine is considered the best remedy. While it Is not so rapid in it's effect in relieving the pain of an acute attack of gout as some others, 1t nevertheless exceeds all others in value. During an attack 1t should be given in doses of ten grains every hour and half to two hours, dissolved in at least eight ounces of distilled wa ter. Sometimes a hypodermic injec- ton of morphine is absolutely neces- sary to relieve the pain In paroxysm of gout. AS many old subjects of gout have contracted kidneys, the use of morphine under these circumstances is attended with some danger, and the drug should be administered with great caution.

The present is what is called an of year in politics. The President and members of the national House of Rep resentatives, besides the Governors of about half the States, were chosen last year. This year Governors are to be elected in only seven States, and in two of these they elect a Governor every year. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island no argument of conven- fence, experience or economy has yet served to convince the people that the Governor should hold office for two or four years instead of only one, and they elect their chief magistrates next November. In twenty-two States the Governor has four-year term. In Nevada, Oregon, Virginia and Wyo- ming, four-year States. and in Ohio, a two-year State, Governors are also to be chosen. Although September is the usual month for State conventions, both parties in Ohio made their nomi- nations in June. The present Ohio Governor is Republican, and the Governors of Rhode Island and Wyo- ming belong to the same party. In the other four States Democrats hold the chief office. Considerable interest will attach to the contest in Massa- chusetts, where the Republicans will attempt to elect their entire State ticket. Last year the Democrats un- expectedly elected their candidate for Governor, although every other State officer and the Legislature were Re- publican. Next year will be of much greater political importance, as Gov ernors are to be chosen in twenty-two States and new national House of Representatives Is to be elected The voters then can pass their verdict on the policies of the national administra- ton and upon whatever political is- sue may at that time be paramount"

Summer Pen for Swine.

A veteran raiser of swine has set about raising his animals on the col. ony plan, somewhat after the plan of raising poultry. He has no difficulty after the first week when the pigs learn which house Is their own. The pigs are placed on the range with these col ony houses as soon as they are old enough to graze. The houses are built low and arranged so that the ends are open near the top, using slats of heavy material with a wide board at the bot tom. The back Is solid. and there Is a good roof which is waterproof.
 The front Is arranged so that the bot tom board may be removed; 1t Is hook ed in place at each end. and over the entire front is placed sloping roof,
