San Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE best race
of the day was the fifth, where four
speed burners were the contestants. Sad
Sam, as on Saturday, ruled a favorite
at z to s. but he again proved a disap-
pointment, as he could never get to the
front and had to be content with the
small end of the purse. Misty's Pride
ran a remarkable race, as she two-roped
her field and in ding-dong finish
downed Andrew B. Cook by a neck. A
foul was lodged by Otis against Misty's
Pride but the Judges dismissed it.

HONEST PHYSICIAN.

II is a mistake to assume that ply

curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use
of drugs as possible and by the use
of correct food and drink. A physi-

Upon Users Of Tobacco.
White ash upon a cigar has been

ter OF fact, its only indication is OF
the presence of potash in the leaf.
Tobacco rich in chloride Of sodium

with a dark ash. AS the value OF

with which it burns, white ash may
be a rough test of excellence, but

A cigar which burns freely is bet

Their ingenuity, which is shown in the

Iron Frame for a Gate.

@. Tn framing gate with one
inch pipe, would 1t be satisfactory to
use elbows in the corners instead Of
bending them? Are the tubes usually
filed with sand?
In making the frame of gate with
iron pipe, bend the pipe to shape de-
sired, and use unions where pipes
join. BY filling pipe with sand there
is less danger of linking the pipe
when bending it. If stay braces are
used band of iron clamp with rivets
through the pipe is used.
