tIorse Race June rs.

a horse race that promises to be ex-
citing has been a. rang ed by II Carl
ton, Sir, and Bert Masters of st. Au-
gustire, between their horses Alice
Barton and Dandy NJ, to be run on
Mr.. Cartoons track just west OF Fort
Pierce on Thursday June lS. The dis
lance is TO be six hundred yards for
800 side, $50 Of which has beer put
up as forfeit money,
1t will be remembered that these
TWO horses were matched against each
other several moths ago and that
Dandy M, the St. Augustine horse,
won from the Fort Pierce product,
The conditions are about the same as
90 the last race, although different
riders will be in the saddle. The rider
was serious handicap for Mr., Carl
tons mare in the last race, and his
many friencs hope the result OF this
race will be entirely different
The race will be run on the track
near Five Mile creek, about three
miles southwest of town, and no doubt
a large crowd will be present TO see the
excitement. Both horses are swift
and their owners are confident Of win

DOUBLING Up.

Speaking of doubling things" re-
minds me Of a story l once heard
of little girl whose name was Su-
zie. This particular Suzie had a
habit of saying good, good" and
wood, wood" and she used to
look so funny when she spelled
words in that fashion that, like
Mary's little lamb, she always
caused a commotion in the school
room.
So one day the teacher said: "Su-
zie, dear, you mustn't say good.
Say g-double cd. Try to remem-
Der, my child"
Just then they came to the old
familiar phrase in the regulation
first reader: Cup, up, Jane! The
sun is risenw It was little Suzie's
turn. Looking up with cute smile
to catch the look of sympathy and
approval she felt sure she merited
for remembering the rule of "dou-
bling things" said she, without
even a sign of hesitation: Double
up, Jane! The sun has risen p-

Triflcs That Cause Bravery.

On one of tb" streams in York
shire a man and a boy were seated
in a boat fishing when suddenly the
boy lost his balance and fell over
board.
The man CALAMITY jumped into
the water and rescued the little fell
low.
Bravo remarked a farmer
standing near. '"They ought to give
you the Humane society's medal"
can what for becos?" asked the
old chap.
"For so nobly saving that poo,
lads life at the risk of your own,'
replied the man.
"Now, look here, mister" he re-
joined, 81 dor't want no praise were
no praise amt doc. If you'd been
me you'd "a done just the same"
"Why?" said the farmer.
"Why? Why, eos the young imp

why-an' good why, too, mister"

JELL-YFISH.
One Of the Peculiar Forms Of The AMI
NAL Life of the Sea.


NAL Life of the Sea.
Upon the sand at the waters
edge there lies a particle of jelly
like substance, inconspicuous and
almost invisible. But in early spring
one moves in such a world Of won
ders, the merest atoms of tissue
are seen to be informed with such
varied and vivid life, that I lift the
particle carefully upon a shell and
drop it into jar of water to see
a strange embodiment, a beautiful
transformation. The central mass
expands into double chambered
bell of pure and transparent YES
ture, and these gossamer globes be-
gin to contract with regular rhyth-
mic motion, lifting the creature up
ward and softly urging it forward
by their quickly repeated pulsa-
tions, while from below four grad
ually frightening tentacles trail
backward with graceful undulations.
This beautiful medusa, the Sarsia
mirabilis, is the earliest of our jelly
fishes to appear in spring. By its
pleasing and graceful form, by its
eager and tireless movements, it
seems to visit our shores at this sea-
son almost like an Ariel of the deep,
voiceless, it is true, but throbbing
with its message that the oceans
submerged shores and its dark abys-
NAL chasms are all alike awakening
to the spirit that transforms the
upper world. One is at loss to
comprehend these creatures, so diff
ferent in form from any that we are
wont to associate with animal life,
for, although without head, they
are yet capable of sensing the light
and auditory vibrations. Without
hands, arms or antennae, they are
yet responsive to tactile impressions
and, although of such fragile and
gossamer texture, are yet the vehi-
Gle of vivid and intensive life. The
movements of the body and the
contained impulses that prompt
them seem one and indivisible. The
desires of its being seem themselves
to urge it forward. Like thought
it seems momentarily embodied or
an emotion precipitated into the
visible as it impulsively mounts up
ward in eager quest or in apparent
disappointment relaxes its efforts
and subsidies with ali its drifting
appendages a-stream, only after a
moment to palpitate again with re-
freshed intention and slowly pulse
ON its softly insistent way.-H. j.

Sheep as Beasts Of Burden.

In the northern part Of India
sheep are put to a use unthought Of
in European or American countries.
They are made to serve as beasts OF
burden. The mountain paths along
the foothills of the Himalayas are
SO precipitous that the sheep, more
surefooted than larger beasts, are
preferred as burden carriers. The
load for each sheep is from sixteen
to twenty pounds. The sheep are
driven from village to village, with
the wool still growing, and in each
town the farmer shears as much
wool as he can sell there and loads
the sheep with the grain which he
receives in exchange. After his
flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward, each sheep having on it's
back small bag containing the p
chased grain.

A Notable Performance.

A member of the school board of
Philadelphia describes a unique
schoolhouse in northern Pennsylva-
MIA, where the schoolmaster keeps
his boys grinding steadily at their
desks, but sometimes permits them
to nibble from their lunch boxes as
they work.
One day the pedagogue was in
structing a class in arithmetic when
he noticed that one pupil was de-
voting more attention to a piece OF
pie than to his lesson.
"William," commanded the stern
mentor, ''wiIl you pay attention to
the lesson"
'1'm listening, sir" said the boy.
Listening, are your exclaimed
the master. "Then you're listening
with one ear and eating pie with
the other ''-Harper's Weekly.

The janitor of a small church on
the south side raises a few chickens
in small Enclosure in his back yard.
The eggs of these he sells to some
members of the church in which he
works.
Last Saturday one of his custom
ers asked him if he could spare a
dozen eggs within the next two or
three days.
ooh, yes, ma'am," replied the jan
itor. '1'll bring you dozen fresh
ones tomorrow morning."
ooh, no." protested the house

THE TIME TABLE.
De Part In the Daily Life of the Lo-
connective Engineer.

comotive Engineer
The principal anxieties of an ex-
press driver have to do with keeping
time. His employment depends
upon his doing so. He is there ID
the cab of an express engine just, i'll
fact, because he knows better thai
other men how to get the best re
suits from splendid piece of ma
chinery. And they are demanded
of him. No railway company ID
competition with another can af-
ford to be lax about the running Of
its trains, and an express driver
who means to keep his place has to
remember this.
If the train is late from any fault
of his he must expect to be repri
manded. If it is late at all frequent
ly he may be either fined or in the
end red iced. The checks upon him
are strict. In every signal box he
passes the time Of his passing is re
corded. He checks the record with
his own time sheet, which is check
ed by the guard of his train in turn
He need not fear injustice, true
So many Independent records estab
fish the facts beyond mistake OF
cavil and enable his superintendent
to say at once whether the fault
lies between him and the engine OF
elsewhere. But time is one of his
constant preoccupations.
He cannot forget it, as he may
forget his perils. 1t is evidently moi
a matter to which a driver can be
come Indifferent in the least, and
there are times when it is Cypress
i've. Engines differ, like pianos
from the same famous workshop
or watches made by machinery.
They differ so VIGOROUSLY that
there is a railway saying, ga good
engine makes a good driver"
Among moderu express engines
there is probably not a disappoint
ing one in twenty. But every en-
CINE has her idiosyncrasies. She
may respond to firing less readily
than another or need more oiling
or be oftener locked for small re-
pairs. For better or worse the
driver is married to her until he
can show sufficient cause for a d.
vorce. The time table is their
moral law, enforced daily under
the penalties aforesaid.-Keighley
Snowden in Fortnightly Review.

"a Yorkshireman," said Lon

"came to London to see our famous

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
Striking Examples That May Be OBJ

Striking Examples That May Be OBJ
served In Daily Life.
Doubtless every one has observed
while travelling by train that the trees
or houses In the distance appear to be
speeding along in the same direction
as the train, while the nearer objects
are fast receding. Many, too, have OBJ
served that the top Of a level wall
built on a steep incline appears to
slope upward in contrary direction
to the hill itself at nearly the same
angle to the apparent level, and some
have curiously regarded the ghostlike
gliding and vanishing Of dark shad-
ows while passing a double row OF
fencing, but the following are not so
commonly remarked:
One might stand for several minutes
watching the revolutions Of the cups
Of an anemometer-fOr measuring the
velocity Of the wind-and still be puz-
zled as to the real way they are turn
ing round. Gaze up at them when
there is an uncertain breeze blowing.
They revolve rapidly, and you are per-
haps perplexed as to their direction.
AS the wind subsidies you would expect
to find it easier to tell the direction by
the slower revolution; but, as matter
of fact, the difficulty is increased.
With the varying speed your first I'M
preston Is that such and such is the
direction. A moment later you reverse
that idea, and the longer you gaze the
more it seems as IL they are spinning
round erratically in every possible d.
rection, whereas, of course, they can
only turn one way.
Standing Immediately beneath high
wall of a building-the longer the wall
the better for practical demonstration
many would aver on looking upward
that It was not exactly perpendicular,
but inclined toward them in threat
ening manner. This illusion is the eft
feet of perspective and would be seen
to better advantage if you stood be-
tween two such walls which faced
each other at short distance. = New
York Telegram.
