Still more exciting to some minds are the running or thoroughbred races, with their rush of hoofs and the flashing colors of their whipping jockeys. which this season are prom ised to be the fastest held outside of the New York tracks.
 The aristooratio horse show, with its high stepping coach horses, it's clean cut sa1dlers and its trim little polo ponies, is to be one of the best horse shows in the eest, being under the management of the noted horse. man, F. M. Ware, who is bringing with him the star performers of the Newport and Westchester shows, while there has already been entered from Connecticut enough horses to make a good show in themselves.
 In purely amusement features there will be shows of the highest class which money can bring-the GreRss in their somersault act; "Dare Devil. Dash" is another one of the hair raising features; man shoots down an incline on 8 bicycle, leaves his machine in mid-air, turns a double somersault and plunges into a tank of water; the flying Dordens will also be seen in one of the most daring trapeze acts ever exhibited, while greatest of all will be Kemp's Wild West Show.

Not Instinct, But Habit.

If anything in the entire animal
kingdom would seem to be a matter
Of pure instinct, that thing is the ira
ditional antipathy Of cat and mouse
Yet a recent study by G. S. Berry,
made in Professor Munsterberg's la
horatory at Harvard, shows pretty
clearly that a cat has no instructive
impulse to kill and eat mice-nor the
mouse any instructive fear of cats.
Berry finds that a mouse may smell
the nose of an inexperienced cat, or
even perch on its back, and be quite
safe, so long as it does not ruiz away.
For the instinct of the kitten is to
chase any small moving object-ball,
spool, tail, mouse-indtferently. 1t
is not the mouse that interests it, but
the mouse in motion. Some day, Of
ten by accident, the kitten plays too
roughly with its captive, and discov-
ers that there is meat inside. 1t Is
we'll known that cats specialize their
hunting, some catching mice, some
squirrels, some birds. 1t seems, in
each case, to depend on accidents Of
discovery. A good mouser, then, is
not a cat with a strong instinct for
catching mice, but n with a strong
habit Of doing so.-McClure's Maya
zine.

"There are mobs Of women abroad

hang around the corner where the

see how the game is going.

W. W. Ferguson, Of New orlens. re-
vealed that fact the other day in an
address to the women Of the Era
Club in that city. He said this was
an inequality which should be rec
tilted, as a husband had the power at
any time to seize his wife's ward
robe and sell it or bestow 1t as a
gift. The same law prevails In Del
aware, and a Wilmington Judge has
been guided by 1t in a ruling to the
distress and humiliation Of a wom-
an we'll known in that city. Follow
ing a divorce the husband demanded
his former wife's wardrobe. She in
dignantly refused, and he appealed
to the courts. The. decision was in
his favor. and the woman had no
recourse, except to deliver her
clothes to him. 1t was decided IN
der the law that, even If a husband
gave money to his wife and she in
vested the money in clothes, he re-
manned owner Of every garment

Destructive Sand Dunes.

Shifting sand dunes are causing
trouble on the borders Of Lake Mich
igan. The dunes are formed by the
onshore winds, which sweep the
beach sand beyond the reach OF the
waves. The sand accumulates in low
mounds about any distractions, such
as stones or bushes; thus started the
dune is sufficient cause for its own
growth. The wind keeps piling the
sand up from behind, the dune grows,
and the sand on Its crest Is blown
over to the leeward side Of the
mound, so that the dunes gradually
march inland. On the east side OF
Lake Michigan the dry west winds
have heaped up numbers Of dunes,
ranging in height up to 200 feet. In
Indiana the dunes have moved IN
land across a forested area, burying
and killing the trees, leaving the dead
trunks as skeletons behind them in
their march onward. A famous in
stance of dune migration is that of
the Kurische Nehrung, a long sand
bar off the coast of Germany, where
a dune ridge marched over a church.

The Sleeping Sickness.

Pere Beauchene, the missionary
priest, has died at the Pasteur Insti-
tute, in Paris, Of sleeping sickness,
contracted in Africa. Fourteen other
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, officials and
colonials-are undergoing treatment
for the same disease at the institute.
In all twenty-six cases have been
under observation there, several OF
which have terminated fatally. The
treatment has been so far for the
most part experimental. Among the
remedies tried are atoxyl, a chemical
preparation containing arsenic, which
has afforded marked, but only tenn
porary relief.
The immediate effect Of atoxyl was
to kill a large number of the trypan-
osomes, as the sleeping sickness MI
crobe is called, but by a sort Of pro-
cess of selection another species OF
the germ, which is refractory to ar

WOMEN'S HATS SAVE LEVEES.
A Style That Has the Approval OF
Lower Mississippi Planters.

"Women's hats are doing much to
save the levees along the Mississippi
River in louisiana" said Henry R.
Lewis, in the Plankinton. "This
| statement sounds fantastic, but Of the
fashionable fur hats it Is certainly
true.
"Muskrats, which for years have
cost the State no end of trouble and
| thousands of dollars through their
depredations in the levees, are now
most eagerly sought by the millinery
trade throughout the country, and
hunters in Louisiana are hunting
them in lieu of other game.
"For years the muskrats have bur-
rowed in the levees, and in nearly
every case where there has been a
| creyasse along the river front the
| cause was traced to a muskrat hole.
The State has tried several times to
get rid of the pests, but without sue
| cess.
During the last winter the millin-
cry stores in New Orleans bought sew
eral hundred muskrat furs from
hunters in the different parishes and
| placed them on turbans, which now
so resemble a cat curled up on mi
lady's couture. Ever. since then rats
have been popular upon as well as In
the pompadour cr psyche
Several of the more progressive
hunters quickly realized that musk
rats were marketable and gave up
the pursuit of ducks and other game.
One hunter alone in February killed
5000 rats, fot which he received
twenty cents apiece.
"Other hunters have followed the
lead Of this mighty nimrod, and 1t
begins to look as If the State will
soon rid itself Of the industrious ro-
dents whose borrowings have for
many years endangered the cities
and towns along Louisiana's river
fronts."-From the Milwaukee Senti-

The Vanity of Criminals.
By CHARLES

Criminalogists speak of the bras-
CART vanity of the criminal. 1t is
true of erotic offenders, perhaps. But
the thief will tell of the number Of
times he has fooled the police merely
by way Of self-justifcation. He adj
mits the premise that he was a fool
ever to become a criminal, and he
recounts his triumphs only to indi-
cate to you that, at least, he Is not
an absolute idiot.
Also, criminologists point out the
childish vanity of the criminal who
bedecks his person with jewels when
he Is prosperous. In this the GRIM
inal is no vainer than his honest
brother. But jewels are about the
Only sort Of property that he can
safely possess, as was the case with
the Jews in the old days when they
were the driven race. The criminal
may not with any safety become a
bank deposition, and he is usually too
much of a spendthrift to carry a roll
of cash; but he finds that II he is ar
rested and can show some handsome
diamond ornaments and a valuable
watch, he will have no difficulty in
securing a good lawyer and a bonds
man, and will have a fighting chance
for acquittal at his trial.
But always, be it understood, the
crook is peering into the windows OF
the House Of Responsibility with
wistful eyes. AL Adams, with more
than a million dollars, earned from
his despicable policy gambling, which
robbed children of their pennies. and
caused starvation in tenement homes,
found himself an enforced hermit in
a crowded city. Even his family did
not live with him. In a suite OF
rooms at the Ansonia, with a Japan
csc servant who had no personal feel
ing for him, the man lived alone. He
craved human association. Some
times he got it on false pretenses
from chance acquaintance. But he
would shortly be identified, and again
there was Only utter loneliness for
him. He shot himself dead.-"How
Thieves Live" in Everybody's.

THE NEW WOMAN
Made Over by Quitting Coffee.

Coffee probably wrecks a greater
percentage Of Southerners than OF
Northern people, for Southerners use
it more freely.
The work 1t does Is distressing
enough in some instances; as an IL
%lustration, a woman Of Richmond,
Va, writes: -
II was a coffee drinker for years,
and for about six years my health
was completely shattered. suffered
fearfully with headaches and nerV-
BUSINESS, also palpitation of the heart
and loss of appetite.
my sight gradually began to fall,
and finally I lost the sight of one eye
altoeether. The eye was operated
upon, and the sight partially re-
stored, then I became totally blind in
the other eye.
my doctor used to urge me to give
I'D coffee, but I was wilful, and con-
tinued to drink 1t until finally In a
case of severe illness the doctor In
sisted that I must give up coffee, so I
began using Postum, and IN a month
{ felt like q new creature.

before using Postum and Grape-Nuts

exceeding fatigue; now I walk ten or
twelve without feeling it. Formerly
in reading 1 could remember but lit
tie, but now my memory holds fast
what I read.
Several friends who have seen the
remarkable effects of Postum and
Grape-Nuts on me have urged that I
give the facts to the public for the
sake of suffering humanity, so, al
