that the stewards viii permit conflict of dates
between Saratoga and Yonkers, unless possibly
for few days. Last summer the Empire City
club took matters In its own hands under a de-
cree of the courts and raced in conflict with
Saratoga, August being the only time when
meeting could be profitable, in view Of the exist

I,is time for careful thought and study by

a stale is profitable when the season draws

owners to enter horses which look out of place
when the nominations made public
While IL Is not we'll to overlook any likely

the work of the Brooklyn League. and it will
hit directly at the Percy-Cray law. the back
bone Of racing.
The purpose of the bill is 10 amend sections
16 II and IS of Chapter 80 of the Laws of
1895. the Percy-Gray law, and to amend the
Penal Code in order that the provision Of the
statutory amendment may be carried out. This
makes practically two bills. 1t Is purposed to
define racetrack gambling a felony instead
Of a rnisdemeanor. and to make 1t punishable
by Imprisonment for period of not less than
a year and not more than two years.

The Oldest Textbook.

Within the last few years revolu tion has been accomplished at OK ford which ought really to affect the mind of the nation more than the diff ference between Lord Curzon and Lord Roseberry. says the London Spectator. A textbook has been dis carded which was already venerable for its antiquity at the beginning of the Christian era. Needless to say, we are referring to Euclids "Ele- ments." For what other text book ever had such a run as that? It has been accepted ever since its pub lication which was in the reign of the first Ptolemy (B c. 323-2S5). No writer has ever become SO identified with a science as Euclid with geom- etry The nearest approaches are to be found in the relation of Aristotle to logic and of Adam Smith to polit- ical economy

BIRD SHOWED ITS GRATITUDE.
Robins Appreciation of Surgical serv'

About six weeks ago Hugh McGill, of Lock Haven. Pa, noticed an old robin fiuttering in the grass in front of his home as if it had been injured. Mir. McGill caught the bird after some little effort. He discovered that one of the robins legs was broken, which rendered it almost helpless.
 Taking the redbreast into the house he washed the bones, applied splints and carefully bandaged the leg and kept the robin a prisoner. To MT. Me Gills surprise the bones grew to- gether, and a few weeks ago the leg was found to be as good as ever, The robin was given it's freedom, but in ap- preciation of the kind surgic" oct per formed by MT.

WHAT 70 BELIEVE.

It is almost as hard for a person to decide "what to believe" as it is to know "how to tell. .' There is present. ed to every person every day for his consideration, some statement that he has no other means of ascertaining it's truth or falsity than the mere state ment itself.
 Years ago we heard political hucksters tell the people that if the gold standard was maintained for twenty years all the poorer people of the country would become slaves, and that the virtue of our Southern women would have to be sold to purchase food for their family. The 20 years have passed and American womanhood is on higher plane today than it has ever been before, and there is no starving in Southland. Did any one believe the statement made years ago? Yes, the vote of the greenback party in 1884 shows that large num- Der did believe it.
 And there are being made today pre- dictions regarding the future as ridicu- lous and as untrue as were the state ments made in 1884 to 1890.
 We are not arguing for the gold standard, nor against any political party, but we do want to warn the people against believing the statements of any person who wishes to accomplish a purpose through the credulity of the people, or by reason of his influence with them.
 There is very safe guide to govern you in the matter of belief in earthly things, and that is: Don't believe anything you hear, nor half you see. :"

 THE MAN IN THE MOON.
One of the Greatest and Most Ancient
 of Superstitions.

In our infancy there was pointed out to us the mysterious man in the moon, who looks solemnly down from his perch in the sky No doubt we have made many childish speculation con corning this grave parsonage, who has been watching the successive genera tions on the earth come and go for centuries, and wondered how he came to be away up there in the moon so many miles from us.
 Well, he was sent there because he was a naughty fellow, wicked man, who picked up some sticks that did not belong to him on Sunday. The first mention of this is in the Bible, where it is told that certain individual was put to death for such a proceeding.
 From this Bible story originated one of the greatest and most ancient super stitions-that of the man in the moon. The man in the moon is known to every nation, and is pictured as lean ing on fork on which he carries a bundle of thorns or brushwood which he was caught stealing on the Sabbath day; and as a punishment he was con fined in the moon The dark lines and spots which compose the features of this traditional man are in reality the shadows of lunar mountains on the moon.
