Jockeys Tricks.

A New York jockey, while packing ur
to go abroad to look for work, talked.
There are tricks of two kinds in
jockeying," said he, the legitimate
and the iIlegitimate. Use the first and
you'll prosper. Use the last and it's
all up.
"Illegitimate tricks are pulling a
race and getting left at the post If
you once pull a fast horse and make
him lose, you are always afterwards
an object of suspicion, and ten to one,
if you ever pull another horse, you are
done for. But getting yourself left at
the post is big and complex subject
and it is the one trick that a clever
jockey can work time and again with
safety.
ITO cause a rival horse to swerve
is an illegitimate trick that often wins
your race. You cause the swerving by
Strengthening out your leg so that your
heel nearly touches the other horses
nose, or you make a wide slash with
your whip. so that it nearly touches
the other horses eyes.
The legitimate tricks are-but why
give them away when it has taken all
my life to learn fhem?"

The Danger of Smoke.

The pity of it is that the evils which
come from smoke are all preventable.
Smoke-consumers exist which have
proved their worth. Due care in run
ming fires will do much. No more fuel
is required under careful management
to produce combustion which shall be
practically smokeless. Those state
ments have been proved over and over
again. 1t is a matter of community
supervision, of laws rightly framed,
and fearlessly administered. For
tunately inspection is by no means a
difficult matter. One city, for ex-
ample. handles that problem by means
of a chart holding six pictures of a
chimney above a factory, the first of
which shows the chimney with no
smoke, the second with light smoke
issuing, the other four showing greater
and blacker volumes. The first condi-
lions are passable. The last are dan
gerous. The inspector takes a photo
graph of any questionable chimney
and compares it with the standard pic
lures The comparison tells the story,
declares Hollis Godfrey, in Atlantic.
The factory is pronounced passed"
or tho owner is warned to Immediately
conform to the regulations under
penalty of the law.

To Prolona Life.


When the vital forces begin to flag,
tie marks of age show themselves.
Some men, being of an amiable, cheer
ful, and lively temperament, suppress
these marks until well advanced in
life, and are 20 years younger, both
physically and mentally, than other
men of the same age. We may take it,
therefore, that old age does not begin
at any fixed period so far as the d.
visions. Of time divide the periods of
life. but is influenced by that subtle
agent known as vital energy. The
indications of old age are closely
shown; the weight of years is mani
Tested by the bent figure, the want or
elasticity in the walk, the wrinkles in
the cheeks and forehead. The typical
healthy person who attains old age is
spare of body, and old age emphasizes
this fact by causing a paucity of adj
pose tissue. We note that dianinution
of the physical energy is accompanied
by a corresponding diminution of the
power TO eliminate waste material
from the body, says the New York
Weekly. Elasticity and strength give
place to hardness and dryness of near
ly all the tissues of the body. The
general health may be good, because
there is a harmonious balance be-
tween the action of the nervous sys-
tenn and the circulatory system. Per
sons who have reached an advanced
age may prolong their lives and great
Iy add to the comfort of their declin-
ing years by diminishing the quantity
of food by taking it more frequently
and in smaller amounts, and by par
taking of only easily digested food,
thereby avoiding too large residue of
waste matter.

Uncle Sans Bookkeeping.

The suggestion by Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou that better and
simpler method of keeping accounts
be adopted in his department, and his
showing that with the matter clearly
stated it would be seen that the last
fiscal year ended with a surplus rather
than a deficit, has attracted attention
and approval. The people are not in
Lerested in the intricacies of bookkeep-
ing. But they do want to know just
now the government stands. The
New York Journal of Commerce, in
dorsing that part of the proposition
which would involve reform in &C
counts, says: IF with this reorgani-
cation of the accounting system and
daily statement there could be cou-
pied, as seems to be limited from
Washington, some mode of better ifs
cal control, the present secretary of
the treasury would have made a sub
stantial contribution to the public
service through his headship of the
department" The United States
should be up to date in this matter,
and congress should provide the neces-
sary legislation.

India,s SAVINGS Banks

considered large in a country having
