nation-Farms Will Suffer.
San Francisco, Jan. 25.-That rae
ing in the state of California is
doomed and that the present season
at the famous Emeryville and Santa
Anita courses will mark the passing
of the sport of the kings" is the
opinion of the majority of race fol-
lowers at Sacramento.
The passage of the Walker-Otis
antl-racetrack bill by an overwhelm-
ing majority in the lower house has
spread CONSERVATION in the ranks of
the opponents of the proposed law.
The bill as passed by the house is
similar to the Humphreys anti-race-
track bill which has suppressed pool
selling in New York. The poolsell-
ers in California will be allowed so
days in which to wind up their af-
fairs from the time the document is
signed by the governor.
The effect of the closing of the
racetracks in California will be wide
ly felt. The county fairs, at which
trotting meets are annually held in
various parts of the state during the
summer months, will be forced to
abandon these events The great
breeding farms which have made this
state famous the world over, will re-
ceive a death blow
In the event of the closing of the
racing establishments in this state
it is fairly certain that racing will
be shifted to Nevada or Lower Cali
tornia.

After the morning sermon one Sun.

aisle, and the minister paused to hear
what he had to say. which was that
the pastor had forgotten to give notice
of meeting of the ladies of the con.
gregation.
Accordingly the divine gave the no
tice, apologized to the congregation for
his forgetfulness and then again an.

proceeded to read it. His feelings and
those of the congregation may be i'm.

When to Cut Flowers.

The best time to cut flowers is
early in the morning, while the dew
is upon them, or else Grring the
evening. As soon as cut tie stems
should be placed IN water, cvor if
in temporary way, il not conven-
lent to arrange them at once in
their proper positions.
When the flowers have to be pack
ed early in the morning to be sent a
long distance they must be cut extra
early or, what is better, cut the pre-
vious evening and placed in water
all night in a cool place which can
be kept close. In this way they alb

them to do, being consequently

brushes of the Italian, French and

brushes of the Italian, French and
Flemish artists. These paintings
are mostly Chinese landscapes al
though the hunting picture of chao
Meng Flu, called 'Mongols Hunt
ing" is one of the most famous Chi
nese pictures. Nature studies, espe-
cially of birds, are frequent.
But the most singular and inter-
esting point about Chinese painting
is perhaps the fact that the two dis
tinct methods were used. The first
was called the "kakemono" method,
in which the view was supposed to
be the same as if one stood on the
| top of hill and looked down on
the painting, in place of standing in
front about on level.
This method, coupled with some
queer views as to perspective val
ues, is what causes Chinese paint
ings to have their weird appearance
to foreign eyes when the beholde1
has never studied Chinese art meth
DDS.
The "kakemono" method is some
times used, and in these painting:
the method used is practically tht
same as in our own schools of art

as feeling, repression, color schemes
, etc, are said by art critics to be su
perbly demonstrated by a numbe
of the finer Chinese artists.-Spo

CHINESE ART.
Two Distinct Methods In Depicting
Scenes of Nature and Life.

Chinese paintings are subjects
that until very recently were but
slightly known to occidental stu
dents of art. Yet recently light on
this subject shows that some of the
Chinese artists as early as the first
crusade had created paintings not
only cleverly drawn and masterfully
colored, but filled with that subtle
artistic sense that is universally un-
derstood and appreciated by cultur-
ed mankind.
Chinese temples have furnished
the best examples of Chinese paint
ings, just as the great cathedrals Of
Europe have given to western civil
zation the best pictures from the

THE ARTERIES.
They Arc Liable to Become Hardened
In Old Age.

In Old Age.
"a man is as old as his arteries"
was said some time ago by French
physician, and the saying, like so
many others of the phrase loving
French, has a good deal of truth in
IT and not little error.
There is many man, old in years,
but young in spirit, whose arteries
are like pipestems. So brittle do
they seem, indeed, that the physi-
clan hardly dares feel the pulse lest
he crush the friable artery under his
finger, yet these old people are ac-
tive in mind and body and seem
often much younger than men of
but two-thirds their years.
Again, one meets old and feeble
folk, whose lives seem to flicker
dangerously, like a candle flame in
draft, whose arteries are as soft
and compressible as those of child.
In general, however, the saying
is true, and especially in premature
old age it will usually be found that
the arteries are hard, with fibrous
thickening, if not already more or
less calcifed. Hardening of the
blood els-arteriosclerosis is the
accepted medical term-consists in
a fbrous overgrowth of the walls of
the arteries, usually following more
or less degeneration of the normal
tissues of the vessels. As to ust
, how this comes about physicians are
! not entirely agreed. It is probable
that the change occurs first in the
very minute vessels, those that run
through the walls Of the larger yes
sells supplying them with blood for
their nourishmcnt. When these are
hardened by the deposit Of fbrous
tissue they carry less blood and
carry it more slowly, and so the nu-
triton of the walls Of the larger yes
sells is reduced. This leads to sof-
tening, and then nature tries to re-
pair the damage by the only new It's
sue at her hand-namely, fbrous It's
sue.
Later these fbrous and thickened
walls of the larger arteries may be
hardened still more by deposit of
lime salts from the blood.
The arteriosclerosis so common in
old age is the result of |'wear and
tear" An elastic tube dilated by
hydraulic pressure and then con-
tracing 10000 times a day will
have done much work by the end OF
seventy years. In younger life ar.
teriosclerosis is most commonly
caused by intemperance-not ir
drinking only, but in eating, espe'
tcially meat eating, without enough
exercise to consume the excess o1
nutrient material Overwork, wor
ry and chronic poisoning, such az
lead poisoning, are also factors.
The best thing for arteriosclerosi:
is not to get it, and the best way no
to get it is to be moderate in every
thing. People growing old should
be examined medically every 81,
months, and then incipient arterio
sclerosis may be detected and per
haps arrested by proper diet, drug
and regimen.-Youth's Companion
