CLIPPER SHIPS IN LONG RACE
From China to England One of
the Best on Record.

The China clipper races, contested
by vessels carrying tea to England,
covered the longest course of any
race in history. One of the most IA
nous was that of 1866 1t was ar
ranged that nine OF these ships should
sail from Foochow with the new sea-
sons teas as nearly as possible on the
same day, but only five finished load
ing in time.
The Fiery Cross was the first to
start being towed out to sea early on
May %. The Ariel followed next
morning at 10 80, the Serica and the
Tapping sailing 90 minutes later, while
the Taitsing did not put to sea until
midnight on the 31st. They were, of
course, all chosen ships with repu-
tation for speed.
The Fiery Cross was the first to
round the Cape of Good Hope, 46 days
out, with the Ariel on her heels, while
the Tapping, Serica and Taitsing
were respectively one, four and eight
days behind. The Ariel led from the
Azores to the entrance to the English
channel. where the Serica and Tae-
ping pulled up ahead of the others,
and there followed a ding-dong race,
up the channel, with a fine spread of
canvas and strong sogtherly wind
The Ariel and the Tapping were
the leaders, first one and then the
other drawing ahead, the others sweep
ing along not far behind. 1t was
worthy finish for such crack ships.
The Tapping arrived in the London
docks at 9:40 p. m. on September 6,
the Ariel in East India docks at 10 rs
p. M, and the Serica in the West In
dia docks at II 80 p. m.

Best Conditions for Sleep.

The best time for sleeping is that
time that will favor the greatest de-
gree of relaxation. With most people
this is some time during the hours
of darkness, when there isn't so much
going on to distract the senses of
sight and hearing. Just what hours
should be devoted to sleep is not as
important as that there should be
enough Of them. The so-called beau
ty sleep, achieved during the hours
preceding midnight, is fact only be-
cause it adds to the number of hours
which, under ordinary conditions, we
might be supposed to spend in bed.
Most of US get up Mt about the same
time every morning-nO matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. SO there isn't a
word of truth in the old fable that
one hour Of sleep before midnight is
worth any two hours later. Sleep
is sleep, provided only that it is sound,
restful sleep-whether we get it at
eight o'clock in the evening, two
o'clock in the morning, or one O'Clock
the next afternoon. II we can get
our sleep undiluted by disturbance so
much the better.

WAS ELEGANT SCHEME, BUT
Great Detective Had Overlooked One
Possible Happening, and the
Witness Had Not.

There were just Is guests at Mrs.
Hyphen Ramrod's party. She thought
IL would prove unIucky and when she
missed her $4,000 tungsten ring she
knew 1t was. She telephoned Sheer
luck Bones, the great detective, imme-
diately after the discovery and few
minutes later he arrived.
Ladies and gentlemen" he an
nounced in his cold, clear tones, "a
tungsten ring worth $4,000 has been
stolen and one OF you is the thief,
not to use harsher word. Mrs. Hy-
phen Ramrod wishes me to spare the
culprit's feelings, inasmuch as he Il
her guest. Very well. If you will
kindly assemble about the dining
table / will cause the lights to be ex-
tinguished and slowly count fifty.
That will give the guilty party ample
time to lay the ring on the table, I'M
der cover of the darkness. Otherwise
/ shall be obliged to search you all.
But l should like a witness to be
present. Mrs. Ramrod, kindly procure
q witness"
Mrs. RGmrod left and returned with
a passer-by, tall man with side wills
kers and vacant stare. The great
detective waved his hand, the room
was plunged in darkness, and slowly
he counted fifty. At 'forty-eight' the
unmistakable tinkle of tungsten
against wood was heard as the stolen
ring was tossed on the table. I'm
medlately afterward there was vio-
lent crash, as of breaking glass. The
great detective turned on the lights.
The ring was not there. Neither
was the witness.-Detroit Free Press.

CARE FOR ALL STRAY CATS
Every Day Homeless Grimalkins Are
Fed at Clolster of San Lorenzo
in Florence, Italy.

From time imniemorlal the stray cats
of Florence, Italy, have been cared
for. The cloister of San Lorenzo is
sacred to poor puss. 1t is overlooked
by the windows of the famous Lau-
rentian library, built by Michelangelo
for Pope Clement VII to house the
Medicean collection.
All stray cats are taken thither, and
at noon every day scraps of meat,
ETC., collected from house after house,
are emptied into the dry moat round
the grass. Toward feeding-time one
may see cats of all kinds and degrees
black, tortoise-shell, tawny, and
white. male and female, young and old
-basking in the sun and licking their
chops.
Finally, when the food is brought,
from every direction cats crowd in,
kissing at one another, mewing and
making much noise. Then, when they
have fed, human snappers-up of I'M
considered trif1es come round to Sc
cure the pieces of paper, etc., for rags.
When lost cat is found in the city
It is taken to San Lorenzo as natu-
rally as every Florence baby is taken
to the Baptistry of st. Johns to be
christened. Moreover, when people
wish to get rid Of their cats, they
do not poison them or leave them to be
starved in empty houses, but send them
to the hospital cloister.

DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE
Much Benefit viii Come From Deter
mination' to Make Each Day
Record of Accomplishment.

The one who starts out in the morn
ing with a determination to do some
thing during the day that will amount
to something, that will be distinctive,
that will have individuality, that will
give him satisfaction at night, is a
great deal more likely not to waste
his day in frivolous, unproductive work
than the one who starts out with no
plan.
Begin every day, therefore, with a
program and determine that, let what
will come, you will carry it out as
closely as possible. Follow it up per-
sistently. day after day, and you will
be surprised at the result.
Make up your mind at the very
outset of the day that you will accom-
plish something that will amount to
something; that you will not allow
callers to fritter away your time, and
that you will not permit the little an
noyances of your business to spoil
your days work. Make up your mind
that you will be larger than the trifies
which cripple and cramp mediocre
lives, and that you will rise above petty
annoyances and Interruptions and
carry out your plans in large and
commanding way.
Make every day of your life count
for something; make 1t tell in the
grand results, not merely as an added
day, but as an added day with some
thing worthy achieved.

| MAYAs INDIANS BEFORE INCAS
Race That Has Long Since Disap-
peared Ranked With the Aztecs
In Scale of Civilization.

Prescott's Conquest of Peru ac-
counts for the popular belief that all
the people of this country were In
cas-. The truth is that the greatest
part of the textiles of ancient Peru
belongs to a people that had passed
away before the Incas tribes reached
the coast.
The Mayas were the ancient race
of Indians which settled in the low
lands of Guatemala in Central Amer
lea. They ranked with the Aztecs in
civilization. They excelled in sculp-
ture, cotton weaving and feather
work. About the sixth century they
are supposed to have disappeared.
They left behind them cities like an
cient Quirigua, now mass of ruins
overgrown by the jungle. Half
buried by tropical growth today the
psychologists are uncovering huge
monoliths sculptured with strange de-
signs and each bearing giant face.
The Mayas have disappeared, but
the Indians, forming more than half
the population of Guatemala, are their
direct heirs.
Their bright-colored blankets and
scarfs, their primitive methods or
barter, their open-air markets filled
with great heaps of strange stuffs and
articles, should capture the imagina-
ton Of any modern textile designer
with ideas.

Hay:
With the first furry of snow
stockmen begin to get interested in
buying more hay, yet very Little To-
cal hay will change hands before
midwinter. Farmers who plan to
feed out should meet and appoint a
purchasing agent with cash and
authority to purchase a train load
of feeders. Perhaps you plan to
bale for shipping and s dppers who
are ready when the demand opens
can load out prompt y while others
are searching for a baler. However,
we believe a thrifty steer is the
most economical hay baler and with
the proper combination of feed, hay
and ensilage, should gain around z
pounds daily during the 100 old
days you feed them.

bundle Of fluff and comedy. Then
while we watched, tragedy sprang up

PASSING of the Tall Hat.

The quaint tail hat which is now
only seen in Wales, or on the heads OF
stage witches in pantomimes, was
originally the fashionable head-dress
for ladies during the reign of Queen
Anne. A curious result of that fashion
can, or could lately, be found at the
West Country vicarage once held by
Lancelot BlacIburne, the retired buc-
cancer who became archbishop of
York. There the lintels of the door
ways are, or We're, abnormally high,
to enable Mrs. Blacllbur4e TO go from
room to room without fear Of damage
