ANXIOUS MOMENTS.
The Quarter Of an Hour Following the
Winring of the Derby.

WinEing of the Derby.
The anxieties of owners Of race
horses competing in the Derby do not
Immediately end as the horses pass
the judges. 'Fhe fatal bjection' may
snatch the laurels from the victor. The
possibility discovered itself over Ca
ractacus' race. The owner had striven
in vain to get. a jockey Of repute His
offer Of a life annuity Of f1OO year to
Gostley in case of success had been
declined. A stable boy named Par
sons had eventually to be trusted, and
to the surprise Of the learned, he got
the horse home, winning BY "a neck.
Going to scale, the lad could not draw
the weight. In~breathless silence the
bride was sent for, and that just ena-
bled him to balance the scale. But
now Lord Stamford appeared to object
that only his own horse and two 9TH
ers had gone the full course. The win
ner and the rest were already past the
starting post when the flag fell. ADJ
miral Rous looked at his watch.
Twenty minutes he said. San OBJ
lection to hold good must be lodged
within quarter Of an hour And so
the stable boys win passed into the
records, but the owner Of Caractacus
declared that not for FL 600 a moment
would he again endure the agony Of

Several patrons OF the restaurant at

table between the corner windows on
the second floor which commanded a
fine view down Broadway, which

originally planned, Broadway would

the Dutch farmhouse which stood
where Grace church now is. He was
an alderman, like many Of his profes

saving the gniiceilt tree in the.

over their pipes to watch the traffic on
Bloomingdale road, but about 1849 all
so prevented the opening Of Eleventh
street from Fourth avenue to Broad

And he drew up a list, horrible in its
eloquence, of the dead who strewed
the dark path of this monstrous case
OF crime and cruelty and infamy. Yet
there had fallen so many of the enc

have called them the expiatory dead.

d'Attel, who claimed to have heard
Dreyfus avow his guilt to Lebrun-R Re
nault the day of his degradation, was
found dead in &ilway train, his
corpse blue and already on the way to
decomposition, though his Journey had
lasted but an hour. This pretended
confession, which Dreyfus never made,
D'Attel confided to his friend, Chaulin,
Seryiniere, member of the chamber
of deputies. Now, the deputy took
train one day to visit his home. An
hour later he was found dead on the
railway tracks between two stations.
And Rocher of the prison guards, who
also claimed to have heard Dreyfus

CATARACT OF THE EYE.
How the One It Attacks May Watch
the Obstruction Grow,

t.ars zsiiS SSSsi
Cataract is said to be due to the
gradual deposition of oxalate of lime
in the substance of the crystalline
lens, at first in small spots or streaks,
sometimes in one part and sometimes
in another. The deposit gradually. in
creases until it penetrates the whole
Of the lens, causing blindness. The
remedy, then, is to remove the lens.
and after its removal the patient needs
a substitute in the form of highly mag
nffying spectacles.
All that is necessary to enable a
patient TO see his own cataract for
himself is q piece of card and nee
die. A visiting card will do very well.
Pierce a clean round hole near the
middle Of the card and hold the card
up to the light close to the eye, look
ing preferably in the direction of a
piece Of blue sky. With the card near
to the eye the patient will not see the
small hole pierced by the needle, but
he will see a comparatively large, faint
~ Illuminated field with his cataract
projected upon it. He is, in fact, ob-
serving the shadow cast by his cata-
ract on the retina at the back Of his
eye. With a small puncture in the
card the shadow SO thrown Is compar-
atiyely sharp. But with a normal eye
an evenly Illuminated field or clean
disk will be seen. The. patient may
thus map down his own cataract and
settle for himself whether 1t is extend
ing and whether he will have an OPP
Grafton or not.

The IN adridaI,

The word madrigal sounds very
formidable to a beginner In music.
More than once have heard the ques-s
ton. What Is u madrigal n Strictly
speaking, a madrigal is an elaborate
vocal composition In from three to six
parts, generally sung IN chorus. The.
melody should not be carried through
a single part. but should be dispersed
in phrases through the different voices
in the conversatio manner peculiar
to the music Of the sixteenth and sew
enteenth centuries. The true madrigaI
has no accompaniment. This form Of
song is considered nglish, but is
thought to have had Its origin in the
Netherlands. The exact derivation Of
the word IS not known. The first
madrigals are believed to have been
morning songs, shepherds lays or
songs i'll praise of the Virgin. Circle

SIMPLE HOME RECIPE
Victims Here Should Mix this Simple,
Helpful Recipe at Home and
Try 1t, Anyway.

Get from any prescription pharmacist
the sollowing:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take tea
spoonful dose after each meal and at
bedtime.
The above is considered by an eminent
authority, who writes in New York
daily paper, as the finest prescription
ever written to relieve. Backache, Kid
ney Trouble,N Weak Bladder and all
forms of Urinary difficulties. This mix
ture acts promptly on the eliminative
tissues of the Kidneys, enabling them
to filter and strain the uric acid and
other waste matter from the blood
which causes Rheumatism. Some per-
sons who suffer with the Affections may
not feel inclined to place much conf
dence in this simple mixture, yet those
who have tried it say the results are
simply surprising, the relief being effect
ed without the slightest injury to the
stomach or other organs.
Mix some and give it trial. 1t GER
tainly comes highly recommended. 1t
is the prescription Of an eminent author
ity, whose entire reputation, it is said,
was established by it.
A druggist here at home when asked
stated that he could either supply the
ingredients or mix the prescription for
our readers, also recommends it as harm
less.
