his whipf' says the man on the stand,
and perhaps the jockey is blamed
for riding a bad race, when actually
he has never ridden better in his life.
No one can see q horse turning it up
until he actually does so, but jockey
can feel it, and that is much worse.
Still, it is only just another one to
divine.'
"But how about the dangers of
race-riding asked the writer, who
remembered two occasions when a
horse was within an act of falling
over the rails with its jockey, who
would almost to certainly have been
killed OF the spot. Hardened race
@oers gripped their glasses more firm
lv. men with usually iron nerves held
their breath. ladies shut their eyes
or screamed, as far fraction of n
second the Jockeys mount seemed to
almost totter on the edge Of the rails.
But suddenly in some miraculous
manner it recovered itself. "Surely,'
said the writer. "the suspense must
have been a"nnizing.'
The jockey yawned.

Don't Neglect the Mattress.

Save the expense of having your
mattress made over every year by hav-
ing a darning needle at hand with
some small upholstery twine which
may be bought for few cenas. When
ever one of the original tackings break
fix it Immediately, putting back the
leather button and fastening it secure
ly. You will be surprised to see how
much longer mattresses will last with
such treatment.

JOCKEYS SUPREME MOMENT.
Inside Tip On How Those Who Run
the Races Feel.

London Mail.
From the point Of view of a onlook-
ers on the stand, raee-riding looks
quite the simplest thing in the world.
In much of it the struggle is over. The
horses are seen like a cloud on tho
horizon; as they reach the distance
the different colors can be seen dis
tinctly with the naked eye, and their
jockeys sit down to ride in grim eran-
est; in few seconds the horses flash
like lightning past the post;
and "so-and-so just gets up to win by
head" But of what has happened
owthe far side Of the course and what
have been the experience and feelings
of the various jockets in the race, the
man on the stand knows nothing.

THE EARS OF CRIMINALS,
Said to Differ Widely from Those Of
Normal Persons.

Before the annual congress OF German
anthropologists AZ Gorlitz, Prof Blau, a
well known authority on diseases OF
the ear read an interesting paper on
the formation OF the ears OF criminals
and lunatIcs, Prof. Blau has taken
accurate measurements OF l,O6l ears
or these 255 are the ears OF lunatics
and si3 those OF male criminals. The
examination, moreover was confined
To men OF one race and one country.
The professor comes 10 the conclu.
sion that In the vast majority OF cases
the various parts OF the auricle. or
external ear, are larger In the case OF
criminals and lunatlcs than In the
case OF normal persons This Is espe'
clally noticeable In the helix. or In
curved onter border OF the ear. and
also In the lobe. According 20 Prof.
nlau. the larger the helix is the lower
the state OF mental development. The
hearing faculty, on the other hand. Is
keener. and Prof Blau illustrates his
theory by reference TO the aurlcle OF
apes. who are all In possession OF this
extended outer border Prof. Blau
added the curious remark that an alb.
normal development OF the outer Dor.
der was more noticeable among Grim.
inals charged with sexual crime than
among other classes OF criminals.

LINoeRs IN THE MEMORY.
Simple Words Of "Now Lay Me" Sell
dom Forgotten.

II a census could be made, one
would probably be amazed at the vast
number OF grown folks who close their
day with the unrevlsed Now lay

Many OF them make II the conclus'
Ion OF prayer involving more elaborate
petitions, prayer actually said as they
kneel at their bedside. Many. In sub
conscious protest against the formal
ism which dominates so much OF the
public and private devotions OF the
times, do not kneel. but they do not
forget the words they learned to lisp
as babies.
Some. immersed in world affairs and
cerrying their business cares and
worries into the real 'of their dreams,
may not consciously plan to pray, but
they find their minds dwelling at mid
night upon the familiar lines and they
are better men and women for that.
Such folks naturally resent the re-

Famous ST. Bernard Docs.

Motor cars have been adopted by
the. monks of st. Bernard, which in.
novation has caused some people to
wonder II the dogs Of that famous hos
pice will be replaced in the llfe-sav-
ing business by automobiles. St.
Bernard dogs, whose ancestors are
believed to be a Danish bulldog and
the shepherds dog of the Alps, were
threatened with extinction in 1912.
when, contrary to the rules. the
mother dogs were sent out to the
dreaded pass. None returned from
the terrors of the winter storm and
the monks had to seek new race,
which, although not of the ancient
strain, was found to be no less intel
ligent than its blue-blooded cousins.
The new dog with its Newfoundland
blood very soon became extremely
popular.

Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as 10 many
Of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals OF more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been Of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has. in a
considerable measure, resulted In the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the Injurious ingre-
dients complained OF. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo,
N. Y, "took time by the forelock,. as II
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, 1t will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths OF our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead OF alcohol, which even In small
portions long continued, as In obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce
craving for stimulants, DR.. Pierce EN-.

ABOUT THE NEW DRESSER.
The Empire Styles Lead, with Them
Are Worn Pretty Little Coats
and Broad Sashes.

Much speculation has been rife In
Paris as to the lines to be adopted In
the coming season for the new dresses.
Rumor said a return to the frills OF
1870 was imminent, but no one could
speak with certainty, since the leading
dressmakers declined to give the
slightest hint as to the styles in prep
aration. Now, at last, your correspon-
dent has been by special favor allowed
glance at the models which are to be
displayed to customers from all parts
of the world. And let 1t be said al
once that the majority OF gowns will
be constructed on Empire lines. Small
boleros, clasping the bust closely, and
bound to the figure by folded satin
sashes, or pieces OF wondrous embroid-
cry will play leading role on both
day and evening dresses. From under
this folded sash. which runs up high at
the back. the skirt will fall in graceful
lines Across the front of the bodice
good deal OF padding Is used to give
the straight, square look to the bust
which is essential for success.
In cloth gowns, OF coat and skirt
type. there is quaint adaptation OF
this Empire idea. The very short bo-
lero of last autumn has loose basque
added to it, which falls ,way from the
figure beneath the arms and descends
to the waist-line. Beneath this coat
the skirt rises high over the bust, end.
ing sometimes with straps over the
shoulder.
OF blouses there are none. Their
place is taken by the elegant lace
guimpes which finish the Empire
gowns. Fine and beautiful laces are
used for these, and any bits OF good
lace can be brought into use. With
little bib-shaped piece of Irish lace
forming the middle of the front Of the
bodice, straight lapo!s of the same lace
can be placed on the sleeve, running.
down the middle. the material used for
the gown forming lightly draped puts
