Winnina the Derby.

It costs a good deal Of money to win
the English Derby. An authority tells
US that horse with the least chance
to win will cost anywhere from $780,
900 up. which will prevent the aver
age clerk or newspaper man from OWL
ing more than half dozen or so at
the outside. Then there is the tralu-
ing, which is a thing not to be done
on Sunday afternoons in the back
yard. An experienced trainer must be
employed. and his charges for the
necessary period will amount to about
$1,000 for each horse. The jockey has
to be paid, and good jockey would
scorn the pay Of an archbishop or the
profits Of even q senator. And Il ne
wins he will expect present King
Edward used to give his jockeys $500
for a win, which makes one wish to be
jockey. But Of course it takes brain

Sonne Mysteries Of Dress.


We have wondered at the popularity
Of the fez in the east In spite Of Its ap-
parent unsuita ability to eastern suns.
Sir Charles Eliot has some observa-
tcas which are in point Dress In
the east IS matter determined by
rank or race and Is not affected by
such trifes as climate or temperature.
Some people think it proper to go
about almost naked, others bury them
selves under mountain Of clothes. but
all would scorn the idea Of putting on
an oyercoat because it was cold or
leaving off a fur lined robe because the
thermometer was at 80 degrees in The
shade" These remarks are made Ia
connection with the Bulgarian won-
ems gala costume-white linen gown
with woolen embroidery on skirt and
sleeve, various sleeveless garments
over this and above all thick quilted
jacket and voiuminous sash In all
this they will perform the national
dance throughout a blazing afternoon.

Another Miss.

a young recruit was just commenc-

instructor, getting very @ngry with
him, told him exactly what to do, and
each time he missed the target At
last the instructor lost his temper and
told him to take a spare round behind
the butts and shoot himself with it
Presently the instructor was startled
by hearing report from rife behind
the butts; without a moments hesita-
ton be rushed round to see what had
occurred, when the recruit looked up
from examining his rife and said quite
cooIly, sIts all right; don't get alarmed;
it's another miss.'-London Telegraph.

The tough little boy with the RED

A Death Feiqnina Plant.

That certain insects, birds, mammals
and reptiles habitually pretend to be
dead when danger threatens them is a
well known fact, but it is generally be-
lieyed that this stratagem is resorted
to only by animals. In South America,
however, there is plant-c species Of
nimosa-which resorts to death feign-
ing, evidently for the purpose Of pre-
venting the grass eating animals from
eating it. In its natural state this
plant has vivid green hue, but di.
rectly it IS touched by a human finger
or by any living animal it colapses
into a tangle Of apparently dead and
Withered stems.

Wbv Rubber Tires Grow Hot.

When an automobile is running at
hirh speed the rubber tires are rapidly
warmed, and the heat sometimes BE-
comes very great, with resultant n'
fury to the rubber. The cause Of this
accumulation Of heat IN the tire is
asc-ibed to tie kneading Of the rubber,
which generates heat faster than 1t can
he radiated away. For this reason
manufacturers have found it to be an
advantage to have meta! parts in the
trend, such as the ends Of rivets, IN
contact with the tire, because the metal
being q good radiator. helps to carry
off the heat OF the outer air.
