HER HOBBY.
1t Led Her to Make Trouble, but

Is there any one who has no hobby
Well. If there is it is questionable If
such person is happy. we i've lives
at least most Of us do-that lie in beat
en- tracks.
The merchant that has built up a
large business goes to his store every
day to do pretty much the same thing.
His wife stays at home, looks after
the servants and makes calls. The
doctor visits the sick and listens to
an eternal round of aches and pains.
The clergyman breaches every Sun
day and makes parochial visits. With
all of us our occupation sooner or later
becomes humdrum.
What. then. is our relief, our safety
valve?
A hobby.
Hobbies are sometimes mere whims,
or they may be fancy that certain
line Of action under certain circum-
stances is essential. OF such kind
was Neil Lambert's.
Her hobby was self control. She
was accustomed to say that it was the
only cultured substitute for content
ment and that the result of its perfect
attainment was perpetual youth. The
quick growth of a frown habit and the
wrinkles that follow in its wake were
among her strongest arguments.
Neil was wooed and won by John
Brent She was very happy, and APP
parently John was happy too. The
world seemed suddenly transformed
from very humdrum affair to para
disc. She managed to retain her self
control. so far as telling any of iher
friends Of her engagement was con-
cerned Then there was lapse. Her
friend Pattie Roane called, and Neil
let out the secret
Not long after Miss Roane's depar-
ture Pattie was standing at the parlor
window which overlooked the street
admiring some flowers that were kept
in the window. She was thinking of

1 local grocery store and used for
comparison The lemons grown IN
1.-The prison green house are firm and
hard as any other lemon and Of
Ioblong shape and not round like a
grape fruit and not SO soft as the
latter.
SinDad says that his lemons, of
which he has raised numbers in for
mer years, make good lemon pies
and they are patriotic plants, bloom
ing at Christmas time and one the
Fourth of July.
The product is the result of graft
ing lemon upon pomelo or grape
fruit trees and he has been expert
menting for four years to produce
the wonderful results.
Price, or 'Sinbad" as he is called,
is a genius and somewhat of an
oracle. As sailor he saw much OF
the world and recounts tales with an
interest that is fascinating. He has
a philosophical turn Of mind and is
considerable of a genius. He has
experimental with other forms of
plant life in the prison green houses
and has produced interesting re-
suits. His chrysanthemums and
roses are not excelled and he has
floral plants that are wonders as
bloom producers as well as for beau
ty. He says that the bluffs and
prison walls prevent his green hous-
es from getting the early morning
sun or he might do even better.
He it is who provides the floral
and plant decorations for the prison
yard and the residence of the ward
en- and he arranges the beds and
mounds with the ability Of an expert
landscape artist.
But flowers and plants are not his
only pets. He has canary birds,
dogs, cats and white mice. A large
yellow persian cat. a gift from Mrs.
Robert G. Wight of St. Paul, well
known in this city, is one of his
favorite pets now. Mrs. Wight sent
him Christmas present that includ-
ed number of trinkets useful in
his duties as green house superin-
tendent.
He has not plucked all of his large
lemons yet and thinks they may
grow considerably larger. The large
one that he took from the tree Sat-
uaday he thinks has finished grow
ing. He laments the possible loss
of the tree on which it grew. as it
appears to be dying on account of a
crank inmate of the prison using his
thumb nail to ring the tree, taking
the outside bark off entirely around
the trunk.

HOW A HORSE GALL0PS.
The Natural Way and the Conventional
Pose In Art.

The Natural Way and the Conventional
Pose In Art.
How does horse gallop? Owing to
the rapidity of action it cannot be seen
by the human eye. However, just as
the individual spokes of a rapidly re-
vOlving wheel can be made visible by
fash of lightning. SO the action of a
gaIloping horse can be and has been
analysed by instantaneous photogra-
ply.
The statuette of Sysonby. the thor
oughbred, has been made from photo
graphs taken at the instant when ali
four legs are off the ground. The back
is arched, the hind feet are directed
forward. the fore feet backward. SO
thar all are tucked under the animai's
body.
When the limbs again touch the
ground the first to do so is one Of the
hind feet. which is thrust far forward
so as TO form an acute angle with the
line of the body and thus serve the
purpose of spring in breaking the
force of the impact Of the hoof when
lis HOi ~ - SOtH5 a lOp SpV6u.
In the conventional mode of repre-
senting galloping horse all four legs
are off the ground at once. but the
front pail. are extended backward in
such a way that the undersurfaces of
their hoofs are directed skyward. the
body being at the same time brought
near the ground. This conventional
pose appears to have been derived from
a dog running. when the front and
hind pairs of legs are respectively ex-
tended forward and backward, with
the soIes of the hind feet turned up

This pose. 1t is thought, was adopt
ed to represent the gallop of the horse
by the goldsmiths Of Mycenae between
500 and 1000 b. c.. whence it was

HUGE LEMON AT STATE PRISON.

StillWai er Gazette;
Lemon growing in the greenhouse
at the state prison has resulted in
demonstrating that never in a trop-
ical cline, let alone in the temperate
zone, has there been raised such a
large lemon as the one produced in
the Minnesota state prison under
the direction of Sinbad the Sailor. a
lifer, whose true name is Chas.
Price and who has sailed the seas
over, even to the South Sea islands.
He says there never was such a
large one produced, and he prob.
ably knows.
The lemon in question weighs 48
ounces. has circumference around
the ends of eighteen and a half
inches and around the middle six
teen and seven eighths inches. 1t is
a lemon in shape, color. firmness
and flavor. 1t was the only one
matured this season on the bush
from which it was cut on Saturday.
On another lemon tree beside it
were eight lemens. more than half
as large, and they are several times
larger than the largest marketable
lemons.
The larger one is three times heav-
